I was invitied to the Pesavento's house on Thursday to stay for the Weekend. I of course agreed.
On Friday after school, I was waiting for Julianna and Ariella to be done with play practice. While waiting, I noticed Missy and Alex roaming around looking for each other. They kept missing each other by mere minutes. Finally Alex decided to wait for Missy to find her in the library while Missy decided to wait in her mother's office. I decided to save them both the trouble and got Alex and brought her to Missy. By then it was too late for them to return back home before heading to Ariella's house for dinner. SO, we decided to wait in Mrs. P's office. That's when Missy showed us a pink note that Mr. Wunker had found and had asked her classmates and her to put it back together. It was obviously from a seventh grader to a boy. It included something along the lines of "being in love with you but I can't love you because I can't come outside and you know why."
It was a rather silly note but then Missy and I had this brilliant idea. We decided to make a note for someone else to tear up. Our victims were going to be Julianna and Ariella. We got Alex to write while we both dictated this note. It read something like this:
Dear Bubbles.
I miss you. I haven't seen you since morning. I love you. You make me feel beautiful. I have something to tell you. CAN WE BE FRIENDS? I've found a replacement for you. You were getting old. He isn't the same but he has my best interests in mind.
From An Admirer
P.S. - Sorry for wasting your time. You just read a love letter to a soap.
Well, it was something along those lines. Of course when Missy and I started working on it at Ariella's house [after a really good dinner, burritos, :)] and glueing it together Ariella and Julianna wanted to help because they were curious so of course we let them take the lead while hiding a few pieces until the last moment so that they wouldn't be able to guess until later. Strangely we lost two pieces and weren't able to find it which made them actually believe that the note was from a kid who just probably had bad grammer and that soap referred to a "soap opera." I have no clue where they got this from. It would have continued that was until they decided to call Mr. Wunker. I kind of panicked and that is when Julianna looked over at me and goes "YOU WROTE THE NOTE!" And I just couldn't stop laughing. They actually had believed it! Oh, it was priceless the looks on their faces. And for the first time since Wednesday evening, I was actually laughing and having a really good time.
The next day was pretty relaxed with a good breakfast, consisting of eggs, pancakes and fruit. For the rest of the day, Missy showed me how to make pendants and beads with this clay that they had got from America. So, that is what I did for most of the day to keep myself busy. Then in the evening Mrs. P, Alex, Missy and I made our way to the Crider, in a little scooter that I could have fallen off of because I was sitting in the back and not exactly sitting completely on it.... plus there was a backpack too.
Thankfully we got to the Crider's house without anyone falling off or getting injured. The second we entered the Crider's house, I did not want to leave again. Their house was sooooooo warm, all thanks to an expensive, good looking, less wood consuming bukhari (at least this is how I think you spell it). The rest of the evening was spent planning this game called "Settlers" which is something that I think I really want to play again. I had never played it before but I still really really liked it. AND I got second place, right after Mrs. Crider. Actually, there were two games going on at the same time and both the Criders won BUT I was still happy on getting second place. :) We also got popcorn and had Missy's sugar cookies. Even though we didn't want to, we eventually left and went back.
The next day Julianna, Missy and Alex all had homework. So while they did their homework, I went and made beads and another pendant with the clay. I had time to think. At a certain point, I went up to the room I was staying at and let myself cry for a bit, but Julianna came up and got me to come back down stairs again. So, I went to the kitchen where I made myself food. Soon Gultaj and Ariella came to work on stuff for a play. After a while they decided that they should make lunch. So they put me in charge of boiling the water and putting in the spaggheti noodles in as well. The problem was that I completely forgot that you were supposed to put oil so that the noodles wouldn't stick together.... whoops. Then we also experimented with the sauce which actually tasted really good, except we forgot one thing, flour THICKENS when it's being cooked.... yea. But other than that, it was really good.
Then afterwards, I watched a movie while the three worked on the play, the rest of the family had gone out to school(Mr. P) and other places(Alex, Mrs. P and Missy). After they finished and after everyone had come back, Missy and I took out this note that Ariella and Julianna had dictated (Alex and I had wrote it) and started putting it together. Gultaj's name was in the note and we tore it exactly in half and I hid the "Gul" part under my ice-cream bowl while spreading the rest out on the table. At first Gultaj was like "no way, we can't read this note." Then he sat down as we waited for hot cocoa that Mrs. P was making. That's when he spotted the "taj" and immediately picked it up. Just like that, he jumped in and grabbed all the pieces and started putting it together. Missy ran away because she didn't want to give anything away and Julianna and Ariella started giggling like crazy. I kept sending glares in their direction because I knew that it would give us away. The note when something like this (what I wrote will be in italics BUT it was dictated by Julianna... okay... maybe I helped):
Hey, I'm confused do you get any of this?
No. I'm still thinking about this one guy.
Oh! Is it still that guy?
Yea but he has a girlfriend and I don't want to break them up.
I'm sure you can handle her. Besides, she'll be really busy with the production.
That's true.
Besides, just talk to Gultaj. Isn't he is roommate?
Oh yea. Anyways talk to you at lunch k?
Halfway through though, he scared me by saying that he recognized my handwriting. As in, he said he recognized it but just couldn't remember who's handwriting it was. Then when he was getting near the end of the note, I took the last pieces and slipped them under the table. Julianna decided to go "check if any pieces had accidentially fallen under the table" and got them. Gultaj pieced it together and then started freaking out. HE SO FELL FOR IT! He was all like, "I think I know who they are talking about." When Julianna and Ariella couldn't tolerate it anymore, they started laughing which gave it all away BUT apparently he was really proud of us. Something about not being dupped in a long time or something along those lines.
On the walk down, he was still going on about it. He was like... beaming. Which was kind of weird.... but he was happy that we planned this elaborate thing and that it actually worked. And I have to say, I was really happy that I had manged to pull a prank on him as well. And even though there were times when I did really feel awful, I managed to have a good time and not spend too much time dwelling on the things that had just happened.
Anyways, this is part 3. There will be a part 4 coming up.... soonish I hope.
Sounds like one hell of a time. A lot of fun too. I miss the days when I could have joined you. By any chance was that game called Settlers of Catan?
