Freak Week Chapter 2 #writingwithgrace

Chapter 2

Dear Robot Diary,
Welcome to my second document of this years Freak Week. Although I have experienced Freak Week for four years already I never get used to the strang-ely abnormal week; especially as this year I have to spend it in the school basement and to make things even worse, Crush is here. I suppose it's not all bad that he is here; Although I'm almost positive that I'm going to do or say something really stupid and embarrassing that will forever ruin the chances of Crush and I ever having a loving relationship; I might just become closer to him and then we will have beautiful children and grow old together and everyone will be so jealous of our perfect family. 

You must be kind of confused Robot Diary. I haven't told you much about Crush. Well, he has soft brown hair the colour of chocolate. His glorious blue eyes sparkle so bright, they could light up this whole school. It seems a weird combination brown hair and blue eyes but in reality I have never seen some-thing so amazing in my whole life. He's so tall and I say that he most definitely has a six pack; but even if he doesn't his face is so beautiful you would forget about that six pack in a heart beat. I often wondered how such a gorgeous creature could ever be living on this earth and then it hit me, maybe he's not a human but an alien. I once watched this movie where an alien comes down to earth and a lonely troublesome girl falls in love with him but he is disguised as a breathe taking human. Then the girl finds out and he abducts her and she was never seen ever again.

"Why the horrified expression?" asked Marmie. I was startled as she whisp-ered into my ear.
"I was just thinking about.....aliens."
"You know aliens aren't real" she replied. I didn't here much of what she was saying; I was just relieved that she didn't question my thoughts.
"I think there very much real" said Banana butting into the conversation as usual and I'm kind of glad she did. I didn't want anymore questions and getting the attention off me was a starter.

Marmie and Banana were my best friends and would always help me if I needed it. Which is the exact reason why I haven't told them about Crush. They would try make me talk to him or do something to make him notice me and nothing ever goes well when I'm forced to do something. Like that time my mom tried to make me wash the dishes and I smashed them all on the floor after trying to carry them all at the same time. I know that was probably my fault but you get the point.

"Lace?"
I looked around and both Marmie and Banana were giving me googley eyes. What was I doing? was the first thing that ran across my mind.
"Yes?" I replied. They both looked at each other and laughed. This worried me. Was I staring at Crush? Was I saying my thoughts out loud?
"What's so funny?" I asked. They both looked at my feet. I looked down to find a tiny boxer dog biting at the end of my sweatpants. I started laughing and picked him up. "He must of came from that Shi tzu storm yesterday" said Banana. We were all screaming laughing when SMASH! Day two of Freak Week 2021 had started.

I held the dog close to me tightly. I had a weird feeling in my body. I looked around to find that the room was getting bigger or maybe I was just getting smaller.

"Lace,Banana" squealed Marmie.
"Why do I feel funny?" I asked
"I think we have shrunk?" Replied Banana
I walked over to Marmie. "This is weird."
"So weird and I'm sure this just the beginning"

Marmie had a point! If everything in here was tiny what was it like out there. There was a big bang on the basement window and let me tell you Robot Diary, that moment was terrifying. "What was that" I whispered.
"Look behind you" cried Banana
I slowly turned around to big eyes staring at me from the window, but what is? Nothing much just A GIANT  COCKROACH. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Marmie, Banana and I ran to other side of the room.

Harry walked over.
"Hey cute dog! What's his name"
I looked at him. Is he stupid?
"We kind of have bigger problems right now" I drew his attention to the giant cockroach trying to get in the window.
"He doesn't have a name?"
"No" I replied
"We'll give him a name"
"Maybe later"
"Maybe now"
I started thinking mainly to make Harry shut up but also to get my mind off the mountainous mortal trying to devour us.
"How about fluffy?"
"Your kidding right" laughed Harry. "you need something a little less dull. This dog doesn't have a bit of fluff on it"
"What do you have in mind then"
"How about......moose?"
"Moose?"
"Yea it's genius right"
I couldn't argue with him any longer.
"Ok! Moose it is"
I looked at Banana.
"So his names Moose" she said.
"I guess" we both wanted to laugh but considering the situation we were in, we retained it for later.

Mr. Kevin blocked the window with a couple of old planks of wood and some old rusted nails he found behind a broken old tv.
"There we go! No way those monsters can get in now"
"Well not in that window" said Crush pointing to the other tiny basement window. His voice was so manly yet so elegant at the same time. Mr. Kevin rolled his eyes to heaven.
"Come on Harry lets go find some more planks."
"Why me?" Cried Harry
Mr. Kevin ignored him and both him and Harry went to look  for supplies.

I thought with both Mr. Kevin and Harry out of the room and Marmie and Banana distracted by Moose; that it was the perfect time to talk to Crush, who was lonely staring out of the window. Finding words was difficult. No matter how hard I tried nothing came out; but it was now or never.
"Hi" I said and of course I had instant regrets. Maybe hi was too informal. I probably should of just said hello; or maybe it was too formal. Hey would have been better.
"Oh hi; its Lace right"
My eyes opened widely. He knew my name! OH MY GOSH HE ACTUALLY KNEW MY NAME!
"Are you okay?" He asked
"Um yeah"
"Good! It's crazy out there, right?"
"I know and in here"
We both laughed! Maybe this wouldn't go terrible after all.
"I still don't see how this has anything to do with climate though" I said trying to keep the conversation.
"Oh let me show you"
He brought me to the uncovered window.
"You see not everything out there is abnormally sized like in here; so there must be something making them change"
"And you know what it is"
"Well, I have been watching and get this every time a struck of lightning hits something it either shrinks like us or enlarges like that cockroach."
"And us?"
"Well this building must have been hit and that's why it and everything inside
it has shrunk"
My jaw dropped. Crush was insanely smart and I can't believe I was talking to him.
"You found this out in such a short amount of time?"
"Well it has been an hour" I looked at my watch. Could an hour have past already?

"We're back" shouted Mr. Kevin. As both him and Harry struggled in with planks of wood.
"Let me help you"
Crush ran over to help Mr. Kevin and Harry. Such a gentlemen I thought.
I strolled back over to Marmie and Banana who were still being entertained by Moose. I really wanted to tell them about Crush; but not right now. At least not till Freak Week is over and this mayhem calms down. Moose is trying to pull my tablet off me. One question before I go; How do you make a dog go asleep?

7 Days and Counting!
