A Day in with my friends
Now some
people may think my title is quirky. But before I tell you the story about this
title, let me tell you this story-
My legs were
shaking. My hands were shaking. My body was shaking. My body was sweating so
much that the entire River Nile could be filled up. The government wouldn't
need lake Victoria after all. Then the end of the world began. The teacher
called my name.
My legs were
not shaking. My hands were not shaking. My body stopped shaking. I had stopped
sweating but was still drenched in it. I had aced it. I had just got my History
and Math paper back. Got an A and A+ in both of them. I had just handed back my
paper when the bell rang. I was so excited for the part of the day that was yet
to come
.
As everyone
hustled out of school I whistled for my friends to follow me. It was such a
rush. Guess everybody wanted to get out. So, along with 7 friends and 1 very
annoying sister, we made our way to the awaiting limousines (a.k.a Honda
Cities) and made our way home.
We went up
to our house where most of the people were so hungry that they immediately started
to eat. Those who didn't sat on couch. Those who did were not plentiful. That's
because everyone could smell the delicious food being prepared by my mother. Every
one sat at the table. And we talked. And we talked. And we laughed. We shared
our feelings.
We were
actually having this party as a science group meeting. A month ago, we were
assigned our groups by our Science Teacher. My group members lived very close
to each other, so we were frequently meeting up and our project was pretty
good. We had the topic- The Moon which quickly turned into ZE MOON as my friend
Vir and I were obsessed with using French accents. We all got A+ and so we were
meeting to celebrate. We had decided to do nothing on the first meeting and we
would-
·
Chat
·
Eat
some food
·
Go
down and play football
·
Do
10 minutes of work
·
Discuss
our feelings
We didn't do any of these except point no. one. So since we
didn't get to discuss our feelings on that day, we did it today. After eating
we had brilliant desert and then played some games. We played 12 different
games. Now that may sound like a lot. But each game lasted for about 5 minutes
each. We got bored when one genius came up with the idea to do a slow motion video.
We actually didn't do one but 6. I am not allowed to share them as my co-s
would not like them to be shared.
After making these videos, we went down to play. It was so
much fun. We played lock and key in the playground and that continued for 1 1/2
hours. We then played Kabbadi and football. At six o'clock we all went up to
have hot cookies and cold coffee. Then everybody had to be dropped. We went on
a round trip to drop each and every person to their respective houses. Since everyone
lived close it was not much of a hassle except when we came back we got so much
traffic it was not funny. After coming home I was so exhausted but I had had a
really good day.
Almost forgot. Promised you a story about the title. Since they came to my house, I was not out of the house and in hence the title.

ReplyDeleteInteresting day-in at home. What 12 games did you play? Your sister is missing in the pictures. Did you lock her somewhere or was she the one doing the honours with the camera.?
