The Third Floor Bedroom

The Third Floor Bedroom

By: Abdi

 

It all began when someone left the window open, this is the tale of the third floor bedroom.

 

 

 

There once was a girl named Stephanie McLain. She was the princess of Gardenia. She was the daughter of Ashlie and Luke “Luck” McLain, the king and queen of Gardenia. She had long blond hair with a silver highlight with blue eyes that made all of boys in the land swon. She wore the same thing to school everyday (because she has 2,000 made in the same things for each day), a dress that has a pink top and blue skirt and a black jacket that read ‘Property of the McLain’s’ and purple tube socks with a rainbow headband. Every day, her butler, Willfred (but the McLain’s call him Willy), that drives her to school in her limo. Stephanie went to Einstein Academy where she’s the top in the whole school.

 

 

 

One day back from school,

“Willy, when are we going to go home. I need my massage and I need it NOW!”Yelled Stephanie louder than a lion on a empty stomach.

Willfred wanted to pull over and throw her out of the limo,”We will be home right away your majesty”

“Thank god, finally,”Sighed Stephanie in relief.

As they pulled up to the castle, the wonderful Stephanie got her blue and black purse and headed for the door. The silver and gold living room with a Samsung 110-inch TV right in the center of the room was shining like diamonds while the maids were cleaning the floor and she went to her room. Her room was filled with the most expensive toys and clothes. She plopped on her Sleep Mattress, which she always adjusted according to her mood, but she went to her desk to do her homework.

 

What is the square root of pie?

A.5

B.37

C.all of the above

 

Stephanie thought for 10 seconds, (a new record), and finally went to Willfred. After she came back from making Willfred do her homework for her, she watched TV downstairs.

MOTHER,”Stephanie yelled louder than ever.

Her mother was curling her hair,”WHAT

I’M GOING TO GO TO THE STORE AND GETTING NEW CURTAINS FOR THE THIRD FLOOR BEDROOM”Yelled Stephanie as loud as she could.

OKAY, JUST DON’T GET ROBBED

 

 

 

As she approached the shops, she noticed a store saying, “Magic Jack’s Magic and Furniture Store” that caught her attention. She walked into the store where she saw a boy about 12 years old, (as old as her), wearing a name tag that said ‘Hello my name is Magic Jack” and a fake mustache.

“Ah, a new customer. Would you like…..”His voice trailed off as he saw the princess.

He fixed his mustache and said, “Your majesty, I was waiting for your arrival”

She was pleased that he was waiting for her, but she said loud and proud, “Fetch me your finest curtain and it better be not boring”

Magic Jack ran all the way down the hall, and 5 minutes later, he came back panting with a beautiful curtain that was the color of the sky on a nice spring day and white doves.

“I’ll take it,”Stephanie said with all her attention on the curtain.

Magic Jack looked at the princess in worry and said, “Be careful of what you say to the curtain. It has powers that are untold,”

Stephanie was out the door when he finished talking.

 

 

 

An hour had passed since the princess was at the store. She had gone downtown to see all of the people that adore her. After all of the meet and gifts, (that is where the people of the kingdom meet the royal family and give them gifts), she came home to see that everyone who works in the castle were going in groups and dispersing, which means leaving the group, Stephanie was confused and thought,

What the heck is going on up in here? Is there like a party that I was not informed about?

She ran up the thousands of stairs until she found her mother’s room.

“MOTHER! WHAT IS GOING ON!”Yelled the beautiful, majestic, and annoyed princess, then she remembered that 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 13 seconds ago that there was going to be a ball where everyone in the kingdom will come and meet the loving people that rule the kingdom. She was so excited because her all time favorite BFF, Katie, was coming so she rushed to the third floor bedroom and put the new curtain on.

“You better be a crowd pleaser, or you will be replaced with the old one,”Said Stephanie. The curtain glowed, but she left as soon as possible to go get ready.

 

 

 

It was 9:00 pm when the beautiful, and majestic princess came down the steps.

“Here ye here ye, all rise to King Luke, Queen Ashlie, and Princess Stephanie of Gardenia,”The announcer announced. As the the people of the kingdom rose to the arrival of the royal family. She walked elegantly down the stairs and ran to her best friend.

“OMG girl, you look fab!”

“Thanks, it’s made from silk all the way from Australia,”

The girls were having a fashion conversation, the third floor bedroom curtain was only blue with no doves anymore, all of the doves were all through the castle and through the kingdom.

“AAAAAAAAA”

“WERE ALL GOING TO GET POOPED ON”

“RUN FOR YOUR LIVES”

Everyone was running throughout the kingdom, so Stephanie went to the only person who knows about the curtain, Magic Jack.

 

 

 

As Stephanie approached Magic Jack’s store she wondered why did he not warn her, (he did, but she didn’t listen), but she forgot all about that when she entered the store.

“Help me, the curtain doves are terrorizing the kingdom!”Stephanie pleaded to the boy.

Magic Jack looked at the princess with a bored face and said,“Let’s go”

As the people were freaking out over doves, the two kids made use of their time and made them selves magic dove catchers. The two ran through the kingdom catching the doves and eventually put them back in the curtain.

“Thanks for helping me catch them”Said the tiered princess.

“Your welcome, and i’ll be taking the curtain you know, so that this happens never again”Replied Magic Jack.

 

 

 

2 days later, the kingdom was cleaned up and no one was pooped on. And the princess now is nice because of the ‘incident’.

Oscar and Alphonse

      Oscar and Alphonse

  November 18, 2005, Miami, Florida,   My name is Oscar Williams. I’m 12 years old. I live in New Orleans. I go to Northridge Middle School. 3 of my brothers go to Northridge High School. The other 1 go to my school. I have 4 brothers, Noah (16), Liam (15), Jacob (14), and Mason (13). All of them are mean to me, except for Mason. He helps me with my homework while the rest play football, he tutors me in math and language arts while the rest watch WWE. But one day, it all changed. This is the story of how I meet Alphonse. I remember it like it was yesterday. The next day, after school me and Mason got picked by Noah, Liam, and Jacob in Noah’s 1980 station wagon. It had fake wood on the side and yellow almost everywhere. “Hey loser. Get in the back, NOW!”yelled Noah like a tiger to us. I yelled back, “OOOKKKKAAAAAYYYYY. You don’t have to yell.” Noah gave use the big eyes and I knew exactly what would happen if we didn’t, so we got in the car before he could say it again. As me and Mason got in the car, Noah put some bags in the back. “What’s all this?”I asked Noah. “None of your business loser’s,”screeched Noah louder than a eagle.       We got home when I found a caterpillar on the grass of our front lawn, so I picked it up and got it inside before my brother’s saw it. “Mom, can I keep him. PLEASE?! I will do better in school. I’ll get A+++ instead of an A++.”I begged my mom to keep the caterpillar. “Fine, only if you feed him, water him, and make sure your brother’s don’t touch him,”blabbed my mom. When I finally got away from my mom and escaped to the wonderful island called my room. Even though I live with 4 brother’s, I still get my own room. It has my favorite color, PINK, I have a pink bunkbed with a bed on the top and a desk on the bottom. My desk has a 1980’s computer with a binder full of study sheet’s, school books and a caterpillar cage with food and water and everything a caterpillar needs, a big book shelf full of ‘Time Warp Trio’ books, and a super big bean-bag chair next to my ,and big mirror with a hem lace on the edges. “I’ll name you, Alphonse. Yeah. Welcome to your new home Alphonse, I’m Oscar!” I explained to my new pet. “Hey loser. Whaddya got there, a pet? So you’re some kind of kind of, FREAK! Hahaha,” laughed Noah. “Hahaha,” copied Liam and Jacob. Then I saw Mason. ‘Should I join in, or stand up for my sister?’ Then I saw Mason come up to me and did the unthinkable.       “Hahahaha loser. So you’re a caterpillar person, that means you must be a caterpillar,”Mason said to (for some reason) empress his older brothers. I was sad and confused, so I asked Mason,“What was that for,” “Come on Oscar, don’t be such a wet blanket.” said Mason loud and proud. “Besides, they finally like me!” whispered Mason as soft as a mouse. I was so mad at him for being something he’s not so I yelled,“I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND AND MY BROTHER, but I was wrong!”       The next day at school, “What was all of that yesterday Oscar. It’s like you hate me now?”Mason related to the ‘incident’ yesterday. I, on the hand, didn’t say a word. I was very frustrated at him. The only time he was mean to me, (and not trying to impress Noah, Liam, and Jacob), was when we were 3 years old and I took his books by accident. “Why aren’t you responding to me. What did I do wrong!?”Mason yelled at me. Ring As I heard the bell I told my brother, “Sorry, I need to go to math and I do not want to be tardy,”       When I got home, I went straight to my to my room to do my homework, when all of a sudden, I got a email from the national weather center saying, In 1 week, there will be a severe hurricane will stick the gulf coast. So people who live in New Orleans, Georgia, Mississippi, or around that area, be prepared. I was so afraid I had to tell my mom, so I went down stairs to see my parents look at me with the sad eyes. Then they told me something, “The hurricane will hit Cuba, and your family do not have enough money to protect their houses,”My mom told me. My dad called my brothers down stairs. As they came down, my mom started to tear up. I told them about the storm and our family in Cuba. Since I was born in Cuba (It was a family vacation) I was really worried, but my brothers didn’t care that I was sad.   Ten minutes later, “Oh Alphonse, what am I supposed to do. The hurricane is going to hit my home country in 1 week, my brother/best friend betrays me for our BROTHERS!!!”I cried to Alphonse about my problems. Of course Alphonse said nothing. Then I went to get ready for bed, thinking about what the hurricane is going to do. All of that worrying made me fall asleep.     The next morning, “Morning sweety,”my mom said doing her work on our marble kitchen island. I was not in the mood to talk so I said,“Morning mom” Then I saw the Fabulous Foursome a.k.a Noah, Liam, Jacob, and backstabber (Mason). “Awesome shot dude, Radical man, Total score bro, See you on the court,”they screamed down stairs. I rolled my eyes and checked the clock, 6:45am, so I ran upstairs to my room to get my school uniform. White and black. I saw our yellow school pull up to the bus stop, so I ran downstairs and got on the bus and sat next to my other best friend Ashley. Ashley was the 3rd smartest kid in school. I was the 2nd, and mister betrayer was the 1st.       When we got off the bus, I went to the principals office to ask her to switch my locker to be away from my brother. “I’m sorry, Ms.Williams, but you have the closest locker to your homeroom. And I can’t do anything about it. I’m sorry,”Principal Rabinoff said. I was very disappointed to hear that but I kept my chin up and said,”That is okay Principal Rabinoff,”       After the talk with my principal, I went to my locker before the warning bell could ring, but then all of a sudden Ashley came up to me panting. “I’m sorry to say, but Mason made me, but our older brothers came. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!”yelled Ashley as she ran for her life. Then out of nowhere, I saw Noah come up to me with the ‘mad’ face. “OSCAR, YOU COME HERE, NOW,”screamed Noah. Then he did the unthinkable, he hugged me. But I didn’t care.       The following Saturday evening, me and my family were in the basement with all the things we needed to survive. I brought Alphonse with us. I could feel the vibration of the hurricane. We all held on to each other. I looked at Alphonse, he became weak and gray. As soon as I could tell my parents, Alphonse turned into Alphonse’s! The hurricane was over and a lot of houses did not get destroyed, we were one of them. 1 week later, we were all in the backyard playing. I took Alphonse’s outside. I knew it was time to send them back. The caterpillars wiggled in her hand, spelling out “goodbye”.   The End
