The year was 2010 and it was my birthday. I forgot about the whole thing, I wasn't expecting any presents, I hadn't planned a party. Mum asked me to get into the shower quickly because I was going somewhere. I had no idea where it would be.
I went to my friend's house and he was acting strange, he was kind of weird, the back door was locked, I couldn't find the key. He told me to go home and go into my room and stay there for two minutes. So I started to go back home. But something was mysterious just as I closed the door on my friend's house, the door was still a bit open. I looked through the gap of the front door and my friend ran to the back door with the key to lock it but he was looking very strangely as if I wasn't there. He closed the door with a slam and locked it quickly. I let myself in the front door and ran to the back door and put my ear onto the timber of the door and I heard a bit of ripping paper and wrapping and just as I was walking away I could hear the door handle turning so I went out the front door but didn't go home.
Two minutes was up. I opened the door and he was gone. I could see him running down the road diagonally towards the swimming pool, so I followed him. He went into the pool and I could see most of my friends through the fence. I turned around and Mum's car was parked and the door was opening and I climbed up a tree to hide so she couldn't see me. She had told me to stay home until she came back but I didn't. I was thinking about what Mum would think about me. She would never trust me again. Mum got out of the car and went into the swimming pool. I could see her putting presents down near all of my friend's bags. I knew I had to get back home before Mum, but how?
Just as I was about to run off I got caught by one of my friends who has a bike. His name was Andrew. I told Andrew to shush so we didn't get caught by mum and I told him I might need his bike. He told me that his mother would not let other people ride my bike. I said quick that I needed it to get to my house, it was not far. Andrew agreed and I jumped on and pedalled to my house as fast as a could. When I got home I looked at my watch it was 2 minutes past 5. I took 2 minutes to ride from the pool to my house.
Just as I got on the lounge and turned on the TV Mum appeared and told me we had to go to the pool and I told her I would just take the bike instead of driving in the car. So we had a race to the pool. Mum didn't know the shortcut I knew, it was through a lane.
When I got to the pool Mum baited me. I told her there were no traffic jams the way I came. When I went inside to the pool Mum told me to take my shirt off and she said to jump into the pool. Just before I jumped in water guns sprayed at me and all of my friends shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" . I remembered, it was my birthday, of course. That was such a fun day at the pool.
We went back home and I went straight to sleep after my shower.
THE END.
