9/11: A Short Story

The most boring day ever.
“Sweet, I got a quad feed” I called out. I was playing Call of Duty with my best friend, Bobby who was 12 at the time and my brother ty who was only 9. As for me, I was 10. I was very skinny and boney but I was pretty tall for my age, I had short dark blonde hair and I was surprisingly strong for my weight. Bobby was shorter than me even though he’s older and he weighs more than me but he is generally very strong. Ty was skinny and bony like me with brown hair that was generally long for a boy but he wasn’t very tall. “Alex, don’t want you guys on that Xbox all day, go outside for the rest of the day” My mom harshly yelled
“But mom , It’s all wet outside from last night's rain” I replied
“Then put on your rain boots” She responded.

I slipped into my black rain boots with the jolly rogers on them. Ty and Bobby followed. My annoying little sisters mocked us as we went out. Now we were face to face with the biggest problem among kids my age, nothing to do. It was a cold wet April day and we were trapped outside and we had absolutely nothing to do. They just got finished digging out our pool so we had these awesome mud hills and puddles in our backyard. “Bobby what do you want to do?” Ty questioned. Bobby responded by hunching his shoulders. “Wanna go to the Bamboo forest?” I requested. (There was a small forest of bamboo all the way in the back of my neighbor’s backyard) “Nah there isn’t anything to do there.” Bobby replied The stupid neighbor let his dog out and even though the dog was fenced in he was still barking and we couldn’t get him to shut up, no matter what we tried even throwing sticks at him. “I’m so bored” Bobby moaned. The dog was annoying, My sisters, Nikki and Kellie were on the deck playing their stupid princess music and mocking us and, my mom wasn’t letting us back in any time
