Ski Lift

I was in the car ready to go. The front seat of a white pickup truck. I was with my friend Hannah in Vermont. I was so excited about that.

“Time to go”said her dad.

“YES!!!!” I yelled. The fair at Mount Snow was today. ”I call  front!” Timber creek a place with a lot of condos in it. It is where we were staying and it was across the street from Mount Snow. There was no snow but it was very windy.

”Let's going on the ski lift before we eat okay?” I said

  “All right.” said Andy, Hannah ‘s brother. We parked and it was a long walk till we got to the ski lift.

      “Finally!” I said “Okay we got to get in line. “ said Mr. Gavin, Hannah's dad.

”Tickets please.” said   the Ticket man and woman.

”Here you go.” said Mr. Gavin. We ran up to the ski lift and waited in line to go up the mountain.

“Get on the green line.” said the ski lift operator “Then jump up onto the  lift.”

    We jumped up and... We were on the lift! Flying UP SO HIGH!!!                    

Hannah said ´´Woohoo! Sky, look at this!!!´´  

       ´´Whoa´´ I said staring at some beautiful trees in the background.

      ´´ Cool´´ said Gina, Hannah's littlest sister. Hannah lives near me but she came to the fair and she invited me to come with her in Vermont. We gazed at the beautiful blue sky. It was beautiful to look at the mountain above us.

     ´´Wait.´´ I said.´´ I think I see the peak!?´´ 

     ´´That's the fake Peak´´ said Mr. Gavin.

     ´´Hey um excuse me  Skylar.´´ said Gina ´´Look at that tree!´´

    ´´ Oh my goodness!!´´said Hannah. I couldn't speak.A giant tree was covered in bras and necklaces.

      “Um  uh  what??????? What is that!!!!????”

     “On a special day womae go on the ski lift and then take off their  necklaces and stuff and throw it on the trees.” said Mr. G.   

“Cool!!!”   said   Hannah and I at the same time.

Gina said,”Ew.” Mr. Gavin started put up the bubble that was surrounding the ski  chair.

 “ NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed, putting my arms over my head.

    “Maybe?”  Hannah said

      “Fine.”  Mr. Galvin says, putting the blue bubble down.

I was a very nervous person. I also have braces. I do love sports though. I also love school. I have a puppy named Daisy and she's adorable. My favorite color is yellow and that's the color of my braces. My favorite sport is tennis. I have a lot of tennis skirts.  I also like neon pink  orange. I also run cross-country. Hannah is my best friend and she has a glasses and a lot of freckles. She loves dresses and sparkly earrings, and I like cool sneakers and Running t-shirts, but we're still best friends.

Her favorite color is purple.  She goes to Vermont every year. She can invite a friend every single year , too. Her little brother and sister, they are adorable.They love me. “Hey I see the peak! The real one. The real top. I see the machine! “ I said, pointing up to the top of the mountain.

     “Get ready to jump off!” Mr. G. said.

    “Wait!” I said. “Open up the bubble. I want to see what it's like.”

     “NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”  Screamed Gina.

     “Sorry Gina.”  Mr.  Gavin said calmly to Gina.  he lifted up the bubble and we all felt the fresh warm air blowing on our faces.

     “Jump!!”  Hannah yelled! We pushed ourselves off off the lift.

       I forced my tired lips to move. “Hey look there's a restaurant! We can get something to eat.”

     “Can I have a hot dog?”   I asked.

      “ Me too.”  said Hannah.

        “Same! said Gina.

      “Cheeseburger for me!” yelled Andy excitedly. Just as he said ‘me’, it started to pour. Crazy pour.

       “ EEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!” We all screamed.

      “Hoods on, get going! “ Mr.  Gavin said. We got on the ski lift. Luckily, we didn't have to spend too much time on the stairs waiting in line.

     “ Jump!!!”  I   yelled.  We were on again. Soaring. This time it wasn't as fun.

 I was breathing heavily.

     “Skylar watch out there is A puddle on your seat!” Hannah said quietly to me. I was so tired and I didn't hear her.  But the next thing I knew I was hanging from the ski lift!!!                                                                                                  

         “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I looked up I saw Hannah's face looking down at me while Raindrops splashed in my eye. 

        “HEEEELP!!!” I screamed. Everyone around me looked and gasped.  I heard whispering.

     “Pst,” 

   “Hey, look!”

I squeezed my eyes shut and scrunched up my chin hoping for the best.  I let go but it wasn't me that let go. Someone pushed my hand up and pulled me up.

   “Hannah oh my gosh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!”I screamed.   “
“ I get the point.”

       “Hannah you saved my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can I not thank you????!!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank yooooooooooooooooooooooooou!!!!!!!!!!”  

       “Heh… Let's just get off this thing!! Am I right!?” 

      “ Of course, Dad. Now let's just get some waffles with chocolate on them.”

       “YEAH!!!” yelled me,  Andy, and Gina.  We hopped off the lift and started to walk towards the waffle stand.

What a day,  I thought, smiling.
