A SHOCK AFTER A SHOCK BY AYRA GOEL

8th GRADE

It was a pleasant summer day when I peacefully woke up. My eyes popped out as soon as I realised that I was on the 10th floor of the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa. My mouth was wide open as the floor was so spacious with commodious seating. Peeking out of the gigantic windows, I saw the cool droplets of monsoon. The weather was enthralling. As I went on the 11th floor, I saw Kylie Jenner cleaning a wardrobe. Out of the blue, she started to scream and I realised that the floor was on fire. My friend Riidhi, who appeared out of nowhere, fainted because of the burning smell. I suddenly remembered that my outfit of the day as well as my cute, little teddy bearwere left in the wardrobe. I ran through the fire to fetch them, reckoning in my worried mind that I shouldn’t get burnt. My cheeks were jumping up and down as I was running. Now, the fire had to be extinguished. Inspired by my one of the favourite books, Alice Jones: The Impossible Clue, I felt my strength skills. I picked up Riidhi’s phone and called the fire brigade. They arrived there flying on jet planes in no time, as though they knew what was gonna happen, and saved the place. By the time, it was evening already, which means that my birthday was in just two hours on my watch. Ashi and Shizuka sat with me after all that stressful afternoon. Yeyy.. It was finally 10th October. Turning my dream into reality, Shizuka gifted me a puppy and a top with vivid colours. I had a huge smile on my little face. We all danced, while Ashi was doing star jumps for no reason. Enjoying my maggi and lemonade, I suddenly remembered that Riidhi was still unconscious. I asked Ashi to bring her ancient socks. “Here, take it. Do the honours.” murmured Ashi. I brought her smelly piece of cloth nere her long vulpine nose. She woke up with a thud and began to laugh. We forcefully made her gulp some bitter gourd to bring her back to her senses. Next day, we all wondered together towards the riverafting area beside an gigantic river and had a gala time.

It all began on a beaming dreadful day of winter when my amiable and prudent friends named Raima and Ridheema who yelled to me “sara pack your things we are going to see Eiffel tower”.
Listening to this I moaned” Alright, it’s my 23rd birthday I can’t hold my horses, let commence with our expedition”.
A moment later, all 3 of us were sitting on the seats of aircraft and out of blue we heard a sound POP POP, everyone eyes popped out, when we stared at the purple eccentric creatures having sharp nose, long blonde hair they were dancing in the plane while my heart was in the mouth.
This made my friends mind clouded with negative thoughts. Since there were only 3 of us in the sky on the plane excluding the pilots and the elves galore. We made up our mind to stick chew gums on elves body so that they get together and we can get rid of this perilous situation.
Soon afterwards, we landed on the ground and were utterly shocked that we are still alive and our plan worked.
In the afternoon we were in Paris, with smiles as wide as train, exiting the weather while doing skating boarding.
It was my 23 bitter sweet birthday.
