At school, a quarter of the class was reading, half of the class was talking, and a quarter hadn't arrived yet. There was a big pile of sleeping bags, backpacks, and other supplies on the small rug. On the big rug, there was all of the food for the trip. I set the cooler on the big rug and made my way through the sea of supplies to grab a book from the shelves. I got comfortable and started reading. But then, someones bag flew through the air and almost hit me, so I got into my chair, where I was safe. Suddenly, the chime rang out clearly through the air. The room fell silent and the class raised their hands. ”Okay! Everyone needs to go to there seats and start reading quietly! Then I will tell you who’s car you’re in,” Ms Chown announced to the class .The class went back to their seats and their books.
A few minutes later we were gathered at the rug. In my dad’s car, there were; Soleil, Andres, Cruz, and me (Mikaila). We gathered up our things and headed to the car. Once everyone loaded up the car, we squeezed into the car somehow and we were off! The car was practically exploding with excitement!
“Cruz, do you want to play cards?” Andres asked. He was sitting in the very back with Cruz so it would be easy to play. Soleil and I were sitting in the middle two seats, so it would be difficult to play. “Sure!” Cruz replied. While the boys were playing cards, Soleil and I were talking about the trip. The time flew by. Once I saw rocky mountains lining the road and there was a huge boulder that looked like a dog. Another time I saw a farm with lots of horses. Meanwhile, Andres was being crushed at cards and kept saying; “Oh man! Come on!” which was getting annoying! I decided to take a little nap but I couldn't fall asleep so I just lay there.
“We're almost there!” my dad announced. I sat bolt upright and stared out the window. I rolled down the window and stuck my head out. A hard blast of wind stung my eyes so I pulled my head back in. We turned off the main road and passed a sign that said PASO PICACHO. I saw Anelisa in her dad's car and I waved. We drove into a parking lot and my foot hit something on the ground. It was a plastic rat!I got everyones attention and then I held up the rat. Everyone in the car (except for my dad, who was talking to Ms Chown ) screamed soooooooo loudly!!!!!! It was hilarious!! The rest of the trip was super fun (with no real rats, thankfully!!!) THE END By Mikaila |
