One day I woke up to a knocking on my door. My mom said, “Honey, can I come in?” “Yes mom, you can come in.” She opened the door, sat on my bed and kissed me. “Happy Birthday, honey.” I forgot it was my birthday (but I didn’t tell my mom this). “Honey let's go to your favorite breakfast place.” I was surprised! My mom had never let me miss school even on my birthday unless I was sick. But I didn’t complain. “Honey go get dressed and make your bed. Meet me in the kitchen.” Then she left the room. I thought of an easy way to make my bed. I still had my wand from when I got trapped in the snow globe. But my mom doesn't know this. And I don’t plan on telling my mom any time soon. So I got the wand from under my bed. I waved my wand a couple of times and my bed got made. I went and put my wand on my dresser while I got dressed. Then I got my wand off of my dresser and put it in my pocket. I went downstairs to the kitchen. “Honey go get in the car. I went to the car and got in. I pulled out my phone and called the school to tell them that I would be late to school today. Then my mom got in the car. She said, “Honey where do you want to go?” “Can we go to Sunny Side Cafe?” “Yes honey we can go there. What do you want to listen to on the radio?” “Can we listen to Kiss 108?” “Yes.” She started driving and we got there in about 30 minutes. We both got out of the car and walked to the breakfast place. We went inside and my mom put our name in under Noah for two. The waitress said we already have a table ready follow me. We followed her to our table. It was right next to the bathroom and it smelled like manure but my mom did not seem to notice. After five minutes the waitress asked us what we would like to drink. I said, “May I please have hot chocolate with whip cream on it?” My mom asked for a coffee with some half and half in it. We got our drinks after about a minute. My hot chocolate was burning hot. So I decided to wait a couple minutes. The waitress asked us if we are ready to order and we both said yes in unison. My mom smiled at me. “What would you want to to eat?” I asked for a waffle with maple syrup on the side. My mom asked for a cheese omelette with bacon on the side. The waitress asked if that was all. My mom said, “I think that’s it right, Noah?” “Yes mom I think that is all for now. “ “Ok your food will come shortly”. The waitress went on into the kitchen. I decided to see if my hot chocolate was still hot so I sipped it. It was just perfect. I noticed I got a text message so I decided to see what it was. It was from the juice mill my favorite smoothie place. They said that I have a free smoothie because it was my birthday and the free smoothie expired in one month. I took a screenshot of the text message and sent it to my mom just in case I forgot about the free smoothie. I slipped my phone in my pocket and got up from the table and went to the bathroom that smelled like manure. When I came out of the bathroom I noticed that the food was on the table. I walked to the table and sat down and started to eat. After I ate I put my napkin on my plate and looked up at my mom she was already done with her food. “How was your meal honey?” “ It delicious mom. Thank you for taking me out. Did you enjoy your omelette mom?” “Yes honey I loved it. I think we should get going I don’t want you to be too late to school.” “Ok mom.” We got up from the table and went to the car. By the time we got to school it was past snack I was a little annoyed because I always liked snack but the breakfast that I had was way better than snack. I went to go grab my computer in the classroom. I brought my computer back to my desk. The first thing I did when I open my computer is check the time it was 11:00. Then I went to Safari so I could do Lexia because I had a cookie problem on Google. Immediately when I went to Lexia I felt a nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach. Then I had a headache. Everything went pitch black. The next thing I knew I was looking at my empty chair where my body was supposed to be. I was where my computer was supposed to be. I just had a terrible thought. I could be inside the computer! Then I remembered that was not possible...but then being trapped in a snow globe without drowning and shrinking to about five inches (which happened to me) should also not be possible. I decided to look down and see how tall I was. I was about five inches tall! I decided to pinch myself really hard to see if I was dreaming. But, it did nothing but leave a red mark on my arm. Then I saw text above my head I looked up to see what it said almost straining my neck in the process. It said, “You will have to face some challenges along the way. After you face those, you will have to destroy a virus. PS.Your wand will not work until you are able to face the virus.” Then, there was another text! Out of nowhere green arrows popped out. So I followed the green arrows. After a couple minutes of walking the trail ended. I heard a popping sound above me. I quickly moved out of the way afraid that something was going to fall there but nothing did. I looked up and noticed it was just text. It said, “You have to survive three knights in Minecraft. If you die here then you die in real life.” Then in front of me a door appeared. I walked over to the door and opened it. I then took took a step inside. Then the door behind me vanished. Everything was pixelated. I looked down at myself and I was block form. Then I looked above my head and I had a name tag above me and it read Steve. I knew that I had to make tools and shelter. I ran over to a tree and started to collect some wood. After I got a stack of wood I made a crafting table (you need a crafting table to make stuff like tools and other stuff). I placed down the crafting table and made a wood sword, wood axe and a wood pickaxe. Then I started to make the base of my house. When I finished the house it was 5x5. Then I looked up at the sun. I calculated one minute before night time. I quickly ran, picked up the crafting table and brought it inside. I placed the crafting table in a corner opposite from the door. I have some extra wood in my inventory so I made a wooden shovel. I decided to camp out in the house until morning so I did not die. After eight minutes of just sitting in my house with no food or anything, another text popped in front of me. It said, “Two more nights left until you can finish the challenge.” TO BE CONTINUED....... Author's Note: This is Noah. I was born on March 29, 2008. Hope you enjoyed the story so far.

It was easy to pick who to write about for my essay. I will write about my friend Grayson. We almost always get along but even when we do not get along we are always friends.
First of all, we have known each other since preschool. We were with each other for two years. Then, I went to Old Post Road for Kindergarten and he stayed at Elm Street School. Funny thing is, if Old Post Road had a preschool back then, I would have gone there. Grayson and I would have never been friends. Grayson and I have similar interests. He taught me to play Minecraft and even bought me Minecraft, too. I am very grateful that he bought Minecraft for me. We also build stuff from his dad’s junk pile. We built 2 bridges. They go over the stream in the woods in his backyard and we play in the stream. We love playing outside. When we are older, we have a plan to have a YouTube account called EG_Trickshots. I think that Grayson and I will be friends forever. I chose to write about my mom’s brother, my uncle David for my appreciation essay. He is a fun uncle and he comes over for dinner often. He takes my cousin and me to Seekonk Grand Prix on special days.
My Uncle David is also helpful. One time I opened up a white paint Sharpie. I had a hard time getting the cap off. Next thing I knew, it exploded everywhere in my family room. He rushed to get a Mr. Clean eraser, a spray with cleaning solution, and a towel. He is helpful in others ways, too. One time he also helped my cousin and me build a fort outside. My uncle and his wife, Rory, who we call Raccoon (I don’t know how that name started) just had a baby boy. His name is David the third and he is only three weeks old. I know he will still be a fun uncle even though he has a baby of his own. |
