Back Home

Princess woke up in her own bed to the sound of dishes hitting the kitchen table. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Did I dream it she uttered under her breath. Her father yelled your bus is here. She threw her uniform on and darted out the first door and chased the bus for a block and a half. The bus driver felt bad for her and let her on. She found a sit way in the back. The embarrassment of having to run after a bus began to sink in. All day Princess was confused about her weekend. She saw CaroleAnn in the hallway and asked her how was her weekend trying to shake her thoughts of what happened over the weekend. As CaroleAnn was talking, the Princess interjected and said: “have you ever heard of a place called Princess World?'' CaroleAnn looked at her strangely and said no with a loud laugh. She then said I’ll talk to you later Princess. I have to get to class. What seemed to be a dream was becoming a nightmare. Did I imagine this place? It has to be real, she thought to herself. She finished up her classes all week and once again it was friday. Her father gave her tea to sleep better. The next morning she woke up back in the tiny house. She cried: “this is not happening again!” She stood up and walked over to the refrigerator and there were three meals like last time. She looked out the door and a huge forest was waiting for her. No she yelled ugh as she slammed the door shut. For three weeks the back and forth began to stress her out. So she decided when Friday came she was no longer going to drink that tea. I need to know what's going on and how I am getting to this place every single weekend. Friday night was finally here and like always her father left her some tea on the kitchen table. She looked all around to see if her father was around and she quickly poured the tea out. She walked down the hall like always and went to bed. It took her a little while to fall asleep. Then she heard her father coming down the hall. She pretended to be asleep. He picked her up and placed her in a wagon. He shook her to see if she was asleep, then he made a phone call to a friend whose daughter was misbehaving and told him to meet him at the end of the block. She opened one eye and there was a girl inside of another wagon next to hers fast asleep. Her father began to push her down the road then into a cave which eventually led to a huge forest. He placed into the bed and left. She ran over to the window making sure she was not seen watching her father disappear into the night. So he did this, she said crying. The next morning she set out to the city to try to figure out why they all were there. After reaching the town and spending the whole day there she came up with nothing. I have to find Rosey, she thought. She ran home, almost missing curfew. I will just look for her tomorrow in the forest. She stepped into the house and grabbed her book and sat at the dinner table. The next morning she set out to find Rosey. She walked two miles east but no Rosey. She walked three miles west but no Rosey. She had to get back before curfew and her dad returned to get her like clock work.
