GETTING READY part 1

well it all began when we found out that we had to go to Europe to live with my dad. The reason me and my brother had to go to England was because we had bad behavior and we made bad grades. And that my dad thought that we didn’t take my mom seriously so he said we had to come and live with him, until we graduated school. Of course when I and my brother heard this we were angry because we didn’t want to go. Well anyway when it was time to go the airport my brother and I were really sad because we knew that we wouldn’t be able to see my mom for along time and just thinking about that made me want to cry. But, the only good thing about going to the airport was that my mom let one of my best friends come so that he could walk me to the plane.

Well anyway my mom said that our plane was departing at 5:30 so we waited until 5:30 but during this time we were taking pictures with my mom and my aunty and my best friend and my brother’s best friend to. When 5:30 arrived we went to the plane but the people that controlled the plane said that it was delayed so me and my brother were kind of happy because we thought we wouldn’t have to leave but as soon as we got happy the man said that our plane was still going to depart it was just a technical problem on the plane. But when 7:00 came the man said the flight to London, England is departing which meant we had to say our goodbyes.

So I and my brother gave my mom the biggest hug we had ever given her before because we wouldn’t be able to see her in a long time. I also gave my aunty and my best friends a hug because I wasn’t going to see them in along time either. After we did that we started to walk to the plane and for one last time I waved at my and said I LOVE YOU and she waved and said it back. And while I was walking down the hall about to get on the plane I was thinking to myself “man I wish I could stay” and I said “God please take care of my mom and my sisters and I walked onto the plane”.

THE PLANE RIDE part 2

When my brother and I got onto the plane I was crying a lot but for some reason my brother wasn’t I guess he wasn’t as sad about going as I was anyway when me and my brother took our seats I was starting to feel a lot better because I guess I like planes. So while we were seating down me and my brother were feeling through the seats and we noticed that there was a wallet there so obviously I picked it up and looked through it. when I opened it I saw a lot of $20 dollar bills so I counted it and it came up to $140 me and my brother automatically split it two ways but I got more because I found it. So I got $80 and my brother got $60 and that made me feel loads better. When the pilot said strap your seatbelts my brother and I put our seatbelts on and we were off.

First we started moving slow then fast then even faster and after that takeoff and we went through the sky and above the clouds. While I was flying I was thinking about what it would be like when I got there and if my dad was going to be nice or mean. And the one thing I forgot was that the flight was 7 hrs and 49 min so I had to find something to do so that time would go by quickly. Luckily they had a TV touch screen on the back of all the seats so I jus watched a whole bunch of movies. Some of the movies I watched were Blades of Glory, 300, Disturbia, Pirates of The Caribbean I also listen to some music I listen to lil Wayne and Chris brown.

Other then that I mean the food was pretty good I had chicken and rice with orange juice it was actually really good. Well any way when the plane started landing me and my brother were looking outside of the windows just looking and we noticed that the weather wasn’t that great it was kind of dull. Well my brother and I got off the plane and went to get our luggage and we went to go and meet our dad.

OUR JOURNEY THROUGH ENGLAND part 3

Well when we saw our dad in the airport we were excited to see him because we hadn’t saw him in along time. So when we got up to him I gave him a hug and told him how the flight was and that we thought the plane ride took forever. Well after that we got our luggage and we started to walk to my dad’s car. When we reached the car I was excited to see my dads red with black top BMW. Well anyway we put our bags in the trunk and we go into the car and the inside of the BMW was cool to it had a nice stereo and it was just cool. So when we got home the first thing we did was put our bags down and we looked at are room and our computer. And as me and my brother were about to unpack our clothes my dad told us to come on and we got in the car and went grocery shopping we got cereal and all kinds of stuff, and while we were in the store I kept smelling something that smelled a week old but I never found out what it was.

Anyway after that we went to a computer place sort of like an Office Max. So we went in there and bought a flat computer screen for our room and we were happy because you could get on the computer and watch TV also. But when we got home we unpacked our clothes and put them neatly on the clothes rack. While we were at dinner we were talking about our interview that we had to do next day for a school that my dad wanted us to do. So after dinner I took a bath and went to sleep the next morning I woke up at 6:00 in the morning for some reason. When my dad got up I asked him why I got up so early and he said that I was jetlag I asked him what that meant and he said that it meant that I wasn’t use to the environment yet. Well after I asked him that he told me and my brother to get ready to go to the interview at our school.

]So we took our showers and put on our nice clothes and to remember to brush our teeth and etc. so we did that and got in the car so that we could go. it took about 30 minutes to get to the school and when we got there, there were kids outside and the only reason I pointed that out was because I didn’t know that they got out of school later than we did so that was why I pointed it out. Anyway we went into the building and met with the headmaster of the school so that we could have our meeting.

When we went into the conference room my brother had to go first. So the headmaster asked my brother questions like what goals do you have in life and my brother responded I would like to be a lawyer and my dad said that was a good answer. And he asked my brother where was he in the class and he said he was at the top of his class so the man was very impressed. Anyway after that the man said that it was my turn to answer some questions so the first question he asked me was what I wanted to be when I grew up. And I said that I want to be an architect. I also said that I would be a good

English Mr. Hunter

Coursework

When I walked in the battered old lady gently closed the door. Immediately she told me to follow her. Whilst walking, a wind wiped my face. It was colder than a winter breeze. She told me to keep up, so I started to walk a little faster. We were now walking down a corridor that had portraits and fancy chandeliers hanging from the crystal ceiling.

When we reached the boss Delancy’s door, she told me to sit down. I heard whispering coming from the door. I got up and gently put my head towards the door. I couldn’t hear much but, I heard them say to remember the plan. I sat back down, curious about what was about to happen. Five minutes went by and the lady came out with a smirk on her face. She told me that Mr. Delancy was ready for me. I got up and went in remembering what I came here to do.

As soon as I entered the room the door shut behind me with a bang. Two men were standing behind me, faces filled with anger, just staring at me. Mr. Delancy told me to sit down but I refused so his men took a step closer to me. He asked me again and I said no again. This time instead of taking a step closer they started to rush me. At that moment my heart started beating faster than a pregnant woman at birth. One of the men attempted to grab me and I struggled to get him off of me. As soon as he touched the ground I pulled my pistol from my waist and killed both of the men.

Delancy, by the way, didn’t move a muscle. I told Delancy that I had a proposal for him and it was that I wanted to join his cocaine business and make some real money. First Delancy laughed at my request, than while he was laughing I gave him some sarcastic advice. I said that if I were him I wouldn’t say no to a man with a gun in his hand. So he said that he would give me a chance and see how it would go but for now to go home and get some rest.

Next day for some reason I woke up at about 7:13. As soon as I was fully awakened I got ready then I made my way to Delancy’s mansion. When I reached the house he was awake also so he said since we were both awake that we could go and buy my suit now. After we spent like 2 hours on buying my outfit then he started to show me the ropes on how to run a drug business. First he showed me one of his warehouses. The more he showed me and told me I came to understand that in this business you had to be as hard as a bull and as swift as a cheetah after about two weeks went by and now I was actually carrying out orders.

I was at one of the spots waiting on my customer when Delancy rang my phone. I answered; He told me to forget about the delivery and that he wanted to talk to me as quick as possible. He said that he wanted to do something that would make me rich and him richer. I got into the car happier than Larry. I raced to Delancy’s house curious about what I had to do. When I got there he rushed me and said that all I have to do is take this bag to this address and the man will exchange it for five or six bags to bring back. He told me to do that now.

So I turned around and attempted to leave. Suddenly Delancy grabbed my arm and told me in a serious voice not to open the bag under any circumstances. I left and started my journey to my destination. For the first 30 minutes in the car I just kept looking at the bag, wondering what was in it. After a while my curiosity took over. I unzipped the bag, and straight away I wished I hadn’t. What had I got myself into?
