The long awaited continuation of 'Star'!
"Your brother? What in the world?" Luke and Star looked at each other blankly. Then Luke suddenly realised that his aunt was bleeding to death.
"Go call an ambulance!" he shouted. Star got up and ran to the phone, crying. Luke hurried to the laundry room and grabbed a clean towel. He ran back to the porch, where his aunt lay unconscious. Star was already there, wiping up the mess with some kitchen rolls.
Luke wrapped the towel around his aunt's bleeding leg and fastened it with a safety pin that was supposed to hold his pants up.
Then the ambulance came, beeping loudly. Paramedics jumped out and came to examine Aunt Blossom. Then they placed her on a stretcher and took her into their white van. Luke and Star locked the house up and climbed into the ambulance.
When the noisy ambulance reached the hospital, Luke and Star climbed out, feeling terribly anxious and extremely exhausted. The paramedics grabbed the stretcher and wheeled it into the emergency room.
Luke and Star badly wanted Aunt Blossom to survive for 2 reasons. Firstly, they really loved her. Secondly, they badly wanted to know what treasure map she was talking about. Was she just babbling or was she revealing some fabulous secret?
The nurses told Luke and Star that they weren't allowed in the emergency ward. Star was too young, they said. So the brother and his sister waited outside, anxious.
After what seemed to be hours, a doctor came out.
Luke stood up. "Luke Gane?" the doctor asked. Luke nodded. "I'm Doctor Webb. Well, I've got some bad news for you." The doctor smiled at them sympathetically. "I'm sorry, but we lost her."
"WHAT?!" Star shrieked. "AUNT BLOSSOM!" Star got up and ran into the emergency ward. Luke and the doctor rushed after her. Oh no where is she? Luke thought anxiously. Soon they found her, sitting in a corner and sobbing.
"Star!" Luke cried, and ran toward her. He picked her up and cradled her like a baby. "Aunt Blossom..." Star whimpered over and over again. Luke kissed Star's forehead and continued to rock her gently, fighting the tears in his eyes.
When everything was over, Luke and Star learned that everything their aunt had owned now belonged to them. After much discussing, they decided to move out of town. It was too painful, living in their old house without Aunt Blossom. Besides, they didn't enjoy living here. Why waste the rest of their lives in a place they didn't like?
So they packed up their things and sold the house. There was a little apartment they could rent in another town six hundred kilometres away. They would be able to live there, comfortably and happily.
They knew they would never get to know what their aunt was talking about as she was dying on their porch, but what was treasure compared to Aunt Blossom? So with nothing else for them to do, they climbed into Aunt Blossom's old car, and drove off to a brand new life far far away.
Odd (1)
One day I decide to walk to school with my best friend Nan. Not long after we leave my house, Nan starts to tell me about a fight she'd witnessed yesterday.
"It was wonderfully bloody and one boy, Abe Pollock, almost lost his leg." She sighs, regretting the fact that Abe Pollock hadn't lost his poor appendage.
I cringe. Nan can be so disgusting sometimes; she has this creepy fascination with blood and dead people.
"Then this particular senior just happens to walk by and Lionel Collins just jumps onto his leg and starts punching him; I expect he was kind of asking him to fight."
Nan stops to scratch her leg and continues, (regardless of whether I am listening) "Well the amazing thing was, the mysterious guy just stops walking and he picks Lionel Collins off his leg and then drops him like he was some smelly sock. Then he walked away just like that. I just don't know how he did it. If I were him, I'd have punched Lionel 'til his nose broke!"
Nan shakes her head in disapproval. Feeling bored, I ask: "What was his name?" Nan just shrugs.
"I don't know his name, but he was sort of good-looking." There was silence and so we continue walking and soon we near our school.
Suddenly, Nan nudges me. "Look that's him!" she whispers. I look up and my eyes bug out.
Walking slowly towards us is the most handsome creature I have ever beheld. He is very tall and quite muscular (I can see his arms) with tousled wavy brown hair. He has a fair complexion and a gorgeous nose.
"What in the world were you talking about?" I ask Nan, exasperated. " 'Sort of good looking'?! What was that all about? He's gorgeous!" Nan and I stare at him, admiring his perfect features.
"What are you two staring at?" We turn quickly and find ourselves facing our mutual best friend, Holly.
"Oh hi Holly. Look at him, isn't he beautiful?" Nan and I jerk our chins in The Gorgeous Guy(who was still walking towards us but not exactly looking at us)'s direction.
"Oh wow. That's lovely. You know how obvious you guys are being in regard to that guy!?" She hisses. Nan and I laugh and then grab Holly's arm and run into school.
"I have never seen anyone gorgeouser than him." I say, once we are safely inside. Nan rolls her eyes. "I've seen better. You should really come with me to some fights sometime. But hey I'm not denying that fact that this guy is really hot."
Nan and I giggle. Only Holly doesn't laugh. I guess this is because she is still feeling embarrassed for us.
I look at my watch. "Aaa our class is starting!" I exclaim. I grab Holly's arm and run down the hallway, shouting goodbye and see you later at lunch to Nan.
During a class that is just before lunch time, the teacher asks to speak to me after class. She tells me that she is really pleased with what I scored for my test and that I should keep up the good work. I express to her my utmost gratitude and then I rush to the cafeteria.
When I get there I almost regret doing so well in my test. The cafeteria is full and I can barely hear anything, save for the inconsistent buzz of noise. Noises and voices are screaming, shouting, laughing, crying, burping and yawning.
I squeeze my way through the crowd, wishing that I had come earlier. I make my way over to the counter and buy some stuff to eat. I sigh. My lunch is really pitiful. All the good stuff has gone.
"OVA HEEYER!!" I hear Nan shriek. I look in the direction of her voice and see Nan and Holly waving frantically from an overcrowded table.
I quickly move towards them, cringing at the varied body odours I can smell. I walk as fast as I can and-- WHOOPS! I have knocked into someone. My lunch goes flying. I am half glad and half sad. Glad because I have lost my pathetic lunch, sad because I have made a fool out of myself in front of-- THE GORGEOUS GUY!!!!
"Uhh, I'm so sorry." I sit up and touch my face. I can't feel anything mushy but I suddenly feel very warm all over. "Are you alright?" The Gorgeous Guy asks me in a most fantabulously low voice.
"I think so." I say dubiously. He holds out his hand and I stare at it, suddenly wondering where I am. The Gorgeous Guy grabs my hand and pulls me up.
"Be careful," he says, then he is gone. I stand there staring at my hand, wondering my head off.
Nan and Holly come over to me. Nan is fidgety. "What did he do? What did you do? Did he say anything to you? You've got watery bolognaise on your shirt." I look down and wipe at the stain dumbly.
"Come on you." Holly says. She grabs my arm and we make our way out of the cafeteria to the bathroom. Holly turns on the tap and starts to clean my shirt.
"C'mon! Something must've happened!" Nan says. I smile at her. "Well, he said, 'Are you alright?' So I said, 'I think so' and then he held out his hand and I didn't do anything so then he grabbed my hand and helped me up. Then he said 'Be careful' and then he walked away."
Nan and I scream with happiness.
"Just think, you girls have only heard about him today and you're already screaming about him? You're really sad." Holly says. Nan and I giggle quietly.
Then, "Why am I washing out your stain?" Holly asks me. Nan and I start laughing loudly. Holly looks at us, trying to be annoyed, but failing terribly. She starts laughing and soon we are convulsing and gasping for air.
"You girls are so pathetic." Kimmy P says, walking in with her gang. Holly, Nan and I giggle and then walk out, ignoring Kimmy P's subtle plea for an asinine argument about social status.
The three of us part ways and go for our classes, feeling quite loosened up.
Man I love my friends.
