Freak week Chapter 7 #writingwithgrace

Rapping like theres no Picasso

A large gust of wind rushes into the auditorium which squashes everyone but Lester and Banana against the wall. I attempt to stretch my legs towards the ground but I can't. I look over at Marmie and Crush and they both stare back at me in disbelief.

"We're paintings?" Marmie says in a confused tone. "But how could this be its not scientifically possi...". Before Marmie can finish her sentence she is interrupted by a loud, evil beast, Lester. "There's nothing you can do now, I'll just take Lace and be leaving now" he says in a strong but slightly shaken voice.

I look at my brother who is currently a painting of some sort of screaming man. Jim doesn't look back, I think he's scared for me. "What if we had some sort of battle? If we win, you promise to leave us alone. If you win, you can take Lace and leave". Says Mr Kevin, otherwise known as Mr Mona Lisa. "We better win this thing guys, you can't let him take me" I shout loudly. Jim and Harry (the screaming men) are still silent. "Lace is right guys, this is important, we need a plan" Crush says while giving me a reassuring smile as he mouths to me that everything's going to be okay. Me and Crush are the same painting, obviously because we have the same feelings for each other. Our painting symbolises young love.

"How about we have a rap battle" Jim finally speaks. "Seems like a great plan, except the only rapping I can do is the type that involves wheat-flour tortillas, and I still can't get the condiments correct!" Says the smart looking painting on the wall, Marmie. We all suddenly drop to the ground and I notice Lester starts to pull a disgusted face, I think his plan was to keep us up there so he could escape. He plan sucked. We begin discussing our rap plan until we're interrupted by a very grumpy Banana. "Come on! You're taking soooo long!" she screams. "Stop getting your peel in a twist, we're almost ready" says Marmie confidently. "Bring it on" I say while giving Lester an determined glare.

"Yo Banana, give me a beat" Lester orders.
"Yeah, I must admit, I love you Lace.
You I'll always chase.
Except you don't like me, ain't that a shame.
You like my brother instead, why you playin' this game?
I know this is weird cos you don't really know me.
But all I want is you to be is my little homie"
I look at Crush with an awkward, nervous look on my face as I begin my rap.
"Lester you're so lame.
This rap about to burn, I'm the flame.
What's with your messy black hair, you don't look presentable. Do you really care?
I thought you were smart, obviously not.
If you think I'll date you, that's quite a long-shot.
I have something to say to you, dear Lester.
I won't miss you at the end of the semester"

I raise both of my eyebrows at a very angry looking Lester. "Beat that nerd" I shout as he takes a step forward towards me. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME, YOU MUST LOVE ME. EVERYONE LOVES LESTER" He shouts as Banana trys to calm him down. "Calm down Lester, you're better than this... You don't need her. I...I love you" Banana says soothingly. Lester suddenly pushes Banana towards the floor and leaps towards me. At this very moment, we all become paintings hanging on the wall again.

I breath heavily and try to calm myself down. But it's not long until my breathing excels to a rapid speed as Lester sprints towards me and there's nothing I can do. Harry who's hanging next to me signals to Mr Kevin to throw him the honey gun. He catches the gun and shoots at the fast paced Lester. Lester hits the ground with a loud thud. Banana runs towards Lester "WHYYY, WE COULD HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOREVER" She sobs. Banana turns round slowly and punches Harry in his stomach/canvas. "YOU DID THIS" she screamed in his face. "I'm...I'm sorry Banana" Harry said sheepishly.

Crush is still silent, he's just staring down at his brother. "Hey Banana, I was wondering. How come your not a painting?" Marmie questioned. "Thought you'd be smart enough to know by now.Basically, I'm not a real person, I'm a robot. For the past 5 years my plan has been to hold you all hostage. I've been plotting this for a long time and it's finally happening. Congratulations, you're all going to become robots". One by one, Banana takes us down from the walls and crams us in a suitcase. She locks the lid tight and exits.
