The Laptop
Scene 1
“See you LATER Ben!” I shouted as I jumped off the bus
running to my house.
DING, DONG! “Hello Mom! Here’s my report card!” I
handed it to her as I came in the house.
“WOW!” she
exclaimed. The first page showed an A+ in everything. “So far, so good,” mom
exclaimed excitedly.
“YES!” I yelled, also dancing. She flipped the other
pages A+,A+,A+,A+,A+,A+,A+,A+,A+ 4,4.
“Well guess what? You are going to get your own laptop
at Best Buy so I am going to call your dad to make sure it is okay to get you a
laptop. Aren’t you happy?” mom said confused.
“Ohh YEESS! I’m happy!”
So mom called dad and dad said, “Ok meet me at Best
Buy then”. “YESSS,” I screamed.
“How did you hear through the phone?” MAGIC!
Scene 2
Vroom! As the car started to go, “Ahhh… I can’t wait
to get the laptop.”
Oh man! There’s a car crash! On the highway! NOOOO! I
thought Learn HOW TO DRIVE DUMMY! “I’m going to call your dad so he knows that
we are going to be late. So after she called dad, he let us know it’s because a tree fell on the highway near Best
Buy.
“Yay, we finally made it! Hi dad!” I said with
excitement,
“Hello Kyle! Let’s go find a good one!” As Kyle found
the laptop that he wanted he also got a chair to sit on, the laptop was $500
and the chair $60. Dad jokingly asked, “Kyle, what is 500 + 60? You must get
this right or el-.”
“$560,” I
blurted out. I was so excited to finally
get my own laptop.
“Only use it
for school work,” my dad said staring at me, I nodded in agreement. But, they forgot to pinky promise, as they
always used to with everything!
We went to the cashier and bought the laptop and the
chair for $560. “Have fun with it kid and don’t mess it up or break it,” the
cashier warned, staring at me just like my dad did when he said don’t download
games or something like that.
Scene 3
I was excited to get started with my laptop when we
got home. Hmmm... I have a Youtube channel so I could make some videos or edit
them with the laptop, also I have 182k subscribers and I could film while
playing video games but I can’t really do that. Thoughts of what I could do
filled my head.
“Mom, can I
have a friend over?”
“Sure but who?”
“Umm, Chris,” I pleaded.
Mom agreed, but didn’t say anything about behavior as
she always does when I have a friend over. So I plugged my laptop in the
wall, turned it on and searched google
for good free games, Roblox and Minecraft and io games seemed good, but then I
signed into youtube instead. I made a video about my new laptop! 18 min later
80k likes wow I guess they like my new laptop and only 88 dislikes.
Ding Dong! Chris was here, I was excited to show him
my new laptop and wondered what we would do together.
Scene 4
“Hey Chris, so what do you want to do?” I asked.
“Umm video
games,” he replied.
I showed him my new laptop and chair and told him
about all of my subscribers on youtube.
Chris decided we should play Roblox. I was a little
confused because Minecraft is like you mine, then craft it. But Roblox is like
r?o?b?l?o?x? I thought.
“Do you have a mouse?” Chris asked while biting his
nails.
“I do, but it’s old.” I sais a little embarassed.
“So?” Chris responded while bouncing up and down on my
bouncy ball. “Here search for Roblox, click on it, and download.
“Wow it’s only at 14%,” I said impatiently. “How long did it take you to download it?” I
asked with curiosity.
”Well, since I have an iPad it only takes 2 minutes.”
Of course, I thought, rolling my eyes. 59%, 66%, 70%,
72%, 80%, 89%, 91%, 100% it was finally finished downloading. I was smiling ear
to ear. “ Now let’s get started” I said rubbing my hands back and forth.
Scene 5
So we started playing Roblox. “Okay,” said Chris, “Go
on where it says Jailbreak.” Click, Click. “Choose prisoners,” he instructed.
FINE, I thought but was like dude if you get arrested
you get behind bars and itś going to take forever to get out.” But we had fun
playing for at least half an hour.
Mom came into my room, annoyed. “Kyle and Chris do something else, like go
outside!” my mom pointed outside.
We headed to the trampoline. BOUNCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE,
BOUNCE!
About twenty minutes later… DING DONG! Awww, I
complained. I was slumping forward as I
walked Chris to meet his mom at the door. “Bye, Chris!”
“Bye m8(mate),” he called back.
“Mom can I play on my laptop for a little bit more?”
She begrudgingly agreed.
I ran to my room and went back onto Roblox. The laptop
was acting so glitchy. No! I got
arrested! So I exited roblox and it took forever! “Just work you stupid
laptop!” I yelled. I started to groan
then BAM! The w key popped up and hit the wall… I started to sob.
“Honey what’s going on?” Mom seemed mad and confused
at the same time. CRUD, I thought.
Scene 6
“KYLE” WHAT DID YOU DO?” my Mom’s face was steaming
red like she was on a frying pan.
”Whoops, I didn’t mean to.” I was like shoot me.
“I’m going to get your dad!” OHHH NOOO! I yelled in my
head.
THUMP, THUMP! It’s dddaad! RiP oof, I worried.
“Shoot,” he almost whispered it. I was very surprised
that he didn’t yell. He remained silent. Dad deleted the game right away of
course because that was the thing that was causing the problem to my new
laptop, and he started to clean my laptop with a software.
“KYLE? GO TO BED!” my mom scowled at me.
“Fine” I was so sad I didn’t know that some laptops
were not meant for video games like mine. It was hard to go to sleep, but I
finally did.
The next morning my mom yelled, ”Breakfast!” I guess she is still mad at me and I’m not
too sure about dad because last night when he came in my room he was like a
quiet shoot.
“Kyle?” mom was staring at me trying to get my
attention while I was looking at car driving by my house. “Kyle!” I was spaced
out for a second. “I’m going to talk with your dad, there is a chance you may
never get your laptop back”. One tear fell off my face running down my chin
really quickly. I thought in my head, like it’s just a laptop.
“Kyle?” Dad
walked into the room raising his eyebrow,
“You can only use your laptop for schoolwork.”
“Phew” I whispered.
“If you download any more games on your laptop then
you will be grounded and you won’t get
your laptop back until you are 15 or sometime when you get more responsible.”
I was relieved.
Since I’m only ten years old that would end up being five more years.
Well at least I have my laptop for school work and a Wii U and I have some of
my favorite games on that like Nintendo Land, MineCraft, and my most favorite
MLB Baseball 2K10 or 2K12. Maybe I should have listened the first time.
