Sandy by C Kelemen (short books for teens .txt) 📖

Today is Friday the end of the week and the teachers are talking about a storm that is going to hit us hard. Yet, all I can think about is how they are so exaggerating. Come on this is New Jersey they are talking about, nothing big happens here. As my mom picks my sister and me up I am thinking about my homework. Man even if a hurricane blew away my house I'd still be stuck doing it. While we pulled out of and away from the thing I like to call "a punishment worse than jail", in other words school, I saw the billboard that stated the safety precautions for the hurricane.
By the time we got home the only sign that you could see in the weather was a single cloud. My mother told me to pack we are staying over my *Mom-mom's house. So I did grabbing my clothes, toothbrush, and a pile of my favorite books. As we were about to leave my mom noticed something that was very important. So she made are father unlock the house.
The biggest disaster in my life had occurred, she had noticed what was missing. She turned around and gave me a look that I knew far too well. So, I was sent back for my book bag.
Our car backed out of the drive way and we started our half hour ride. The car ride was like a giant play on the most annoying road trip. Besides the way too loud radio, the screaming mother, the off-pitch singing father, the snoring sister, and the smell of skunk my dad just ran over, the ride was heaven. Once we arrived my mom talked to her mom and my dad watched the football game. My sister and I decided to go to bed and hope the weekend wouldn't end.
Little did we now that a little hurricane had decided to help us try and get rid of the weekend's end.

*Mom-mom: another word for Grandma.
