Ghost - November 23, 2010

“Cindy your call” my mom shouted. “who is it?” I asked. “Britney” “okay” “Hello yea Brit, you forgot! I told you to write in your diary, others are also there okay I am coming bye” I took my bicycle out and rode it to Britney’s home, by the way I am Cindy, I am a normal girl with abnormal friends, I love sleepovers and spending time with my friends Britney is my best friend I know her and her twin brother Zack since childhood. She lives in the last block. “Finally I am here” I looked at Britney house it was a big white house I could hear voices from the hall. I ran into the house. There was Britney, she was struggling herself with papers. Britney was a beautiful girl she was of my height, she had golden hair, she always opened her hair and kept on moving her fingers in her hair. Zack was her twin brother. Zack was too handsome. He was a tall guy with short golden hair, he had sparkling blue eyes as of Britney. Zack was a very scared guy, he is scared of every noisy thing he is even scared of crackers, every sudden noise scares him if he is busy he can get scared of pin fall also! “Britney you again forgot the science project” Britney was a very forgetful girl, one time she forgot to carry her bag I also did’t tell her at half way she remembered herself and went back running. Now she forgot to make the project, we submitted last week but she was out of station, our strict science teacher gave her one week, but if she again misses it, Britney will be in big trouble “yea-bu—ut” she was speaking but Kelly came walking through the hall with papers and pen in her hand. Kelly was my other friend, she was a short girl with curly hair, she had many pimples on her face. “Yea she is mad totally mad I told her I will call her daily to remind her about the project but she refused” Kelly said in anger. She gets angry very easily one time a girl just called her ‘Kelly-Belly’ Kelly punched her so hard that her nose started bleeding. “Now which project?” “volcano” said Max and came walking to me. Max was last friend in our gang. He was very tall, he looked like tenth grade student two year older then his age. He was a soccer freak so was I, this is one of the reason he is my friend. He had short hair and big brown eyes. He set bet for everything, literally everything and here I am Cindy a normal calm girl with abnormal friends. “Volcano no kinder gardens also don’t make it”. “We don’t have time and this is the easiest one” Britney answered. “Yea Brit how can you do that you are the most lost girl in the whole eighth grade, no in the whole school, no in fact in the whole universe!” Kelly shouted. “So where’s the P.O.P?” I asked. “In the cupboard” Britney replied in a nervous tone. “N--o- -w--w-at?” Zack asked. “I bet for ten bucks we will not be able to make it” Max said. “Hey!” everyone shouted “Lets start”. “Britney I am writing reports and stuff” Kelly said. “lets make in kitchen there the material is present” Max said, so we all went there. “Oh Brit what happened to kitchen?” I asked looking at the kitchen. It was all untidy, refrigerator was opened, reddish was lying on floor, tomato on table, sauce and jam were split on table and many other blunders. “Kelly clean the table, thank god mom and dad are out for two days” Britney said. “ Where’s water?” Max asked. “In fridge” “Bring for others also” Zack said. “yea” Max took five glasses, sailed on a tray and brought it. “Seriously this-“ he was speaking but he slipped on reddish and fell down! The water went right on Kelly. “NO!” Zack exclaimed. “What will mom say!” he shivered in fear.
“Max you!” Kelly shouted and threw a jug on him “wait” Britney interrupted but Kelly kicked her, in anger Britney hit Kelly hard on her head with carrot. “You!” Kelly shouted. She threw water on Britney but she bended and water went on Zack. “Kelly!” so now everyone was fighting with each other except me. But for how long? Finally I joined them also, so after one hour we all were cover with water, butter was on my shirt, my hair was colored red because of sauce  , the room was more untidy. “Now about the project?” Britney asked removing spinach from her hair. “Oh no! we are dead, mom will kill us, we will be thrown out of the house” Zack said, he was going to cry. “Now be serious” Kelly said. “I bet we will not be able to make” “shut up!” everyone shouted. Max started laughing. One thing about Max, he thinks too negative, like today. “Guys we have to do it otherwise Britney will fail” I said. “Yea” “will you join me?” Britney asked “YES! We will do it” everyone supported her. I have to tell you one thing that if our group decides to do anything even to conquer the world we can do it too. “Come on pick up the reddish and bring the vacuum cleaner” Britney said. “yea I and Max will bring work material”.  so after few hours a clean volcano with a clean kitchen was ready. “Thanks guys” Britney said happily and hugged everyone of us. So that’s me and my gang; enjoying, laughing and caring for each other. But I was not knowing that some week later, their will a real test of our friendship with a real dead soul!
