Yellow,
My name is Erica Wang. I am not Chinese. I’m 11 years old.
When people read my book they think “HEY” that’s not what happened at all. People this is from my perspective only so, no bossing me around like Scarlet. Oh you’re wondering who Scarlet is? Before I can tell you that story I have to tell you this one.
Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy. HAHA don’t even know who P. Diddy is. Is the person a he or a she? Never mind. Let’s get to the story! It’s daylight savings so at 5:50am it feels like 7:00am. I know it’s weird, it ‘s kinda really annoying but for me I get up early all the time. You know why I get up early, it is because of Scarlet Arden. The school DRAMA QUEEN!! Well I stayed in my room for I don’t know like 45 minutes or so. Then I finally was able to get out of my room. As usual 5 dogs toppled over me when I opened my door. I have 7 dogs. Where are the other 2 dogs you ask? I will tell you my pug (Archie is so darn lazy because pugs like furniture and they just sit there the whole day.) My other dog, a doberman who’s name is Bear, just guards me and makes sure I’m safe. He doesn’t jump on me but he will jump on attackers. Oh I almost forgot the five dogs that jumped on me were Aussie the australian shepherd, Bamba the spanish water dog, Bisli the bichon frise, Wolfgang the german shepherd, and Avalanche my rottweiler. I know it’s weird to have that many dogs but I know dogs and I love dogs. You guys reading my book have no clue how much weight that is on you because of the dogs but I still love them. When I finally pushed all of the dogs over I went to get breakfast. Most kids have those sugar cereals, my family stopped eating cereal 4 years ago. I usually have oatmeal or an egg with a bagel for breakfast. Today I had toast with PB and honey. My mom asks “Honey you got all your stuff today” and I answer “Mom you know I do.” I hop in my Baba’s SUV. Wait! Are you wondering who is BABA! Well he is my dad, oh and I’m also part middle eastern. Anyway when I get to my school (Willow Academy) there are screams and I know who those screams belong to. Remember how I said Scarlet was bossing people around well, that’s her screaming let’s go take a look. “MY DRESSES WHO STOLE MY DRESSES! THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE”!!!! Then she walked up to Jimmy Carter and said “Did you steal my dresses”? He said “no I hate dresses”.Than little Ms. Perfect stuck her nose up in the air and went on walking. She said did you steal my dresses to 100 kids and 10 teachers?” There are 190 kids at Willow Academy and 50 teachers. Wow!! She asked a lot of people. Anyway I think I had a new case on my hands. It was called the Dress Caper! I decided to work on the case. School went the same as usual. Scarlet pouting, screaming, whining and complaining. After school I went to Scarlet’s house. I knew Scarlet was at dance class and she is always bragging about it. I rang the doorbell. A few seconds later a tired woman came out. She had black markings below her eyes. I told her a really lame excuse. “Excuse me mam but I am looking for something in your house.” That was a terrible excuse but you know what it worked! I started my search but I decided to bring along my Doberman. Why? Cause I don’t got a bloodhound that’s why. I found a piece of cotton by the cat’s bed. Holy Dog! That cat has a nice bed. Doberman’s obviously are not as good finders as bloodhounds so it would take a little longer to find the dresses. Once we were in the living room we started. I had a plan: I would search a room than Bear would sniff and point if I had missed anything. We should hurry up. I said to Bear that her class ends in a few minutes. We came back to where the cat slept. I didn’t find anything I asked Bear and thank god he pointed. He pointed right by the cat’s bed. I came by the cat and it hissed loudly. Bear barked, it skidded to a dark corner and stayed there. There where the cat had sat were 5 multi-color dresses. I grabbed them and gently put them in her closet. That was a good lesson for her. She really should stop assuming without any proof. I left her house smiling. The next day at school she wore one bright yellow dress that I had found. She still complained and whined but she was a little nicer. That’s how Erica Wang (me) solved the Dress Caper! Maybe I will solve a few more mysteries. Maybe there is more to come. Find Out!!
The End …..for now
