Spider Man's Dream Room
Its just
another summer day. I wake up, eat breakfast, then go
straight to my neighbor's house. My neighbor, Selli,
has been my best friend probably since the day I was born. Our families have
grown close as well. I walk up Selli's driveway,
clearly making an effort not to step on her grass so I do no upset her dad. I
ring Selli's doorbell. I will always remember hearing
the tune of the doorbell. It was one of those doorbells that played a short
tune of a song. Selli's house is one of those houses
that have a smell. Selli's house always smelled like
home made cooking mixed with clean laundry. Her dad answers the door,
"good morning Jasmine, she's in the computer room." I run up the
stairs and I pass by her brother, Avi, who could
always be found in the den watching television. I run straight down to the
computer room, to see what crazy adventures we would have today.
"So Selli,
what are we gonna do?" For some reason, as soon
as I said that, Selli and I looked at each other, then looked towards the room where Avi
was and we both began hysterically laughing. This basically means that there
will be some kind of mischief. Selli ran up the steps
to her room, and I followed. Selli's dad began to
yell at us, "no running in the house!" We began to pace her room. As
if we were thinking of a solution to a big problem. We were on a mission: To
get Avi angry. It's what Selli
and I did best!
Selli's
room was always messy. She had clothes and all different stuff all over her
floor. Then, I noticed her foot kick a ball of thick string. I picked it up and
began throwing it around the room. Selli grabbed my
arm. "I have an idea," she said. Whenever the words 'I have an idea'
come out of her mouth, it means trouble!
We walk across the hallway of her
house and all I could think of was what she would do. She took some scotch
tape, taped the start of the string on Avi's wall,
and continued it to the other side of the wall. "What are you doing? You
are going to get in trouble. If your mom finds out we'll..." and she
stopped me. "Watch Jasmine. Its
easy!" I was always the one to be scared that we would get in trouble. As
I watched her tape the string to all four sides of the wall, I began to laugh.
I picked up the other ball of string and took the some scotch tape from her and
followed along. We put the strings on each end of the room over and over for an
hour and a half.
"Avi! Come upstairs. You can leave your cartoons for
a little while. We have a surprise a surprise for you!."
Selli glanced at me and began laughing. After a while
of persuading Avi to leave the television, he came
upstairs. We took a bandana and blindfolded him. "Avi,
wait right here." We pushed Avi to the entrance
of his room. As we opened the door, Avi took off the
bandana from his eyes and Selli and I screamed
"surprise!" Avi looked mad. "What did
you guys do to my room? I'm telling." A tear began to fall down his face.
I felt terrible.
I said to Avi,
"look! You can pretend that your spider man!" Avi
looked at the brighter side of his crazy looking room. He began crawling
through the string as if he was trapped in a jungle. I knew he was happy
because I saw his eye light up with excitement. I was glad Avi
was happy, even though our mission was to get him angry.
About twenty minutes later of Avi enjoying his room, Selli's
mom walks into the bedroom. "What did you do to your room? Clean this up
right now!" Selli and I had to apologize to Avi about his room. Selli's mom
took us to Avi and made sure we apologized by
witnessing it herself. Selli and I recited "I'm
sorry Avi." Selli's
mom looked at us as if we were supposed to do something else. I glanced back at
Selli in confusion. "For?"
Selli's mom was implying. "We are sorry for
messing up your room." Avi simply replied with
"its okay."
Although Selli
and my intentions were bad, we deep down care for Avi.
I consider him to be my little brother also. We were glad that he enjoyed his
twenty minute spider man jungle, as we liked to call it. As I care so much for
this family, I will always have so much love for them.
