My mom forced me to go to this dumb Christmas festival/carnival for my brother, and that’s not even the worst part. She made me dress up AS A REINDEER. I refused to put on an actual reindeer costume, so I put on a santa hat that had reindeer ears on it and a necklace with bells on it. When we arrived it looked really pretty, the tree, the lights, the singing, BUT that is not an excuse to forgive her. I saw my BFF at the carnival, I went up to her. She said “Oh hey Elena” DING “Oh I have to go, byeee.”
I was starving because I hadn’t eaten lunch, I went over to the popcorn cart and bought a bag of popcorn for $6. My little brother ran up to me and asked if he could have the popcorn, I said yes because if I didn’t my mom would tell me to anyways so I just went with it. I spent 6 more dollars on another bag of popcorn, in my opinion that popcorn is way overpriced. DING, my mom texted me and said get me something to drink, now hear me out all they had was eggnog, my mom doesn’t really like eggnog. Instead of just getting one I got two because I was thirsty too. Now it was hard to carry, I had the popcorn between my stomach and my elbow, and just carried the two drinks.
As I turned around i guess somebody was standing behind me and i ran into them, DROPPED MY POPCORN AND SPILT EGGNOG ALL OVER ME, THAT'S NOT EVEN THE WORST PART!!!!! I SLID ON THE POPCORN BAG, how does that happen?! When I opened my eyes all I saw was a boy dressed as a snowman. Everybody surrounded me, my little brother pushed through the crowd and when he saw it was me he yelled, “Mom sissy’s is on the ground covered in eggnog, at least I think that’s sissy.” He didn't even 100% know it was me, I didn’t acknowledge that because of how OUTRAGED I was. The guy tried helping me up but I pushed him out of the way, got up, and pushed through the mob of laughing people.
After I got through the crowd, I ran to the car sobbing. I said to myself, “Why does this happen to me, out of every one out of that stupid carnival It was me.” My mom said to my brother, “ Come on, we're going home.” My brother didn’t want to leave so he threw one of his temper tantrums, my mom had to drag him to the car. When he got in he had said to me, “Ugh why did you have to fall, now we have to go home.” I thought to myself, how could I just stop from falling? I was sitting in the front seat still crying, no one was talking, you could hear a pen drop.
When we got home I went to my room to take a showere and wash my clothes. As I turned on the shower, I heard a knock at the front door. My brother was in the upstairs bathroom, my mom was in her room upstairs, and I was In the downstairs bathroom. I got the door and guess who it was… Yup, you guessed it, it was the boy who ran into me, made me embarrass myself. He had said, “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to if I could take it back I would.” I thought to myself, is this guy really trying to apologize, if so he sucks at it. I was standing there looking like I was annoyed at the world, which I was but that’s besides the point. For a slight moment there was silence, I stared at him, he stared at me. Atfter 10 minutes of him apoligizing I had forgaven him, he seemed really nice. And that’s how I met my bestfriend, Stefan.
