My entry story: Just Add Magic Elements The racket of my brother practicing his clarinet was one of the most annoying sounds ever! When I was in my room trying to concentrate on making sure I had everything that I needed for camp, he started playing that awful instrument! Later… “ squeak, squeak!” Ughh! I can’t take it anymore! I say, getting up out of my purple spinny-chair and my desk to go down to Julian’s room, down our rickety stairs to the 2nd floor, and to tell him for the millionth time to be quiet! Well, I guess since I’m complaining so much about him, I should tell you more about him. But I will need to make it quick, because I have to get going soon to camp. He is my fraternal twin, but we have nothing in common. I like the flute, he likes the clarinet. He likes dogs, I like cats. Simple, right? Not as simple as you would think, because since we’re twins, everyone thinks we’re supposed to be the same. But we are the total opposite from each other. Anyway, I should go and consult him about playing the clarinet. I’ll be back in a second. *mumble, mumble,* “Ok! ok! I’ll stop!” “Thank you Julian, it’s just for now, but once I leave, you're free to do as much practicing as you want.” I say, stepping out of his messy room full of Star Wars posters. Good thing I barely go in there, I’m a Harry Potter fan and I can't stand how he’s so obsessed with Star Wars. Then again, I should talk, Julian would say the same thing about m-“Angela! Are you ready?” Mum calls from the kitchen. “ Oh shoot! I was so distracted by Julian, to be able to finish packing! I ran to my room, when I got there, I called,“Almost!” I rushed through my things to make sure they were all there, I found that something was missing. “Oh No! Where’s my watch?! I swear it was here! Just a minute ago!” I look around, checking everywhere and feeling my pockets. In just that moment, I saw my black cat, Harry, had come walking in with my brand new watch in his mouth. “Harry! You found it! Where was it?” “Meow” “ (laughs) I should have known! It was on my nightstand this whole time!” I say thank you to Harry, (in cat language of course,) and head downstairs to our newly renovated kitchen. “Hi mum, I’m ready.” I say looking in the direction of where the sink is. “About time! We’re late to drop you off at Rose’s house!” My mum said, a little too quickly. “Ok, let's go.” I reply, grabbing my stuff and heading out the door. As I walk to our car, I see our neighbor Ms. Grundley, she owns 4 cats, and regularly feeds any stray cats that come into her yard. Though, mum did tell me once that Ms. Grundley had won an Olympic gold medal in volleyball, tennis, and badminton. Who knew! Anyway, I saw her in her yard trimming branches off her bushes, when she spotted me and waved hello. “ Hi Ms. Grundley!” I yelled across the street. “ Hello Angela! Nice to see you! Where are you off to?!” “ I’m going to my friend Rose’s house to go to Camp MeltingPot!” “ That’s nice! Hope you have fun!” “ Thanks! I will! Bye!” I hop into the car, and a minute later, my mum comes and gets in the car after me. A few minutes later, I’m in Rose’s dad’s car and on my way to Camp MeltingPot. “ I’m so excited! I can’t wait!” Rose said, who was literally jumping up and down in her seat next to me. “ Calm down Rose! I’m excited also, but you're a little too jumpy, you’re literally going up and down in your seat!” “ I know, I know, but I’m just excited!” Rose exclaimed. “ Me too, but we might need to be excited a little more quietly.” “Angela does have a point there Rosie, you do get very excited and may need to tone it down just a little bit.” I heard Rose’s dad’s voice, Mr. Greenberg’s, say. “ Mr. Greenburg?” I ask, looking at the rearview mirror at him. “ Yes Angela?” “ Well, I was just flipping through the brochure for the camp, and I couldn’t find any information about when it was founded.” “Hm, well, that is very strange, though, I only know that it was around a long time. Even before I was alive.” “Huh, that’s weird, for sure.” I sit back and think for a little while about how and why it couldn’t have been there. Since there was a couple hours left to go, I looked out the window and saw a beautiful sunset over the horizon. The sun was so bright, it even made my red hair glow brighter. As I watched, I was just in awe. Of course, before I could process all of this through though, Rose snapped me out of my daydreaming. “Earth to Angela! Are you there? You're just looking out the window with a daze on your face!” “ oh, wha? Sorry, I was just, well, thinking. What were you saying?” I said, turning to her. Rose just stared at me with an annoyed look on her face. “ As I was saying, dad just told me we’re almost there.” “Oh, brilliant, um, I guess we should start putting all of this stuff back.””
