Undies by Zoe Land

Junior Short Story Entry

I am so uncomfortable. I am crunched up in a pile of boxes in the garage. I have one hole in the bottom of my box to peek through. It is really cold and I’m only wearing my undies. I want to scare the life out of my sister Amy, for video taping me singing in front of my mirror with my undies on. She said she was going to put it on the internet after tea. She has been guarding her room all day and will not let anyone in. Amy has to do her homework before tea but I took her things and hid them in the garage. The minute she opens the door I will jump out and scare her. Then I will race into her room and steal the tape, break it and be free from certain embarrassment. Anyway, I think I have been here for at least an hour. Amy should come down at any moment ‘cause I left a note saying where I took her stuff. Suddenly I here Amy yell at mum and dad if she can go on the internet. Oh-no. Few, mum and dad said not until she did her homework. It sounds like Amy has found the note ‘cause she screams out that I am the most annoying sister in the world. Ha ha that’s my job. Amy comes down the steps but mum and dad are with her I can hear it. I am going to have to stay put. They come down and turn on the light. Amy says that if I’m hiding and I don’t come out that she’ll send copies of the video to all her friends and funniest home videos. I still don’t come out. Amy, mum and dad leave. I hear Amy talking and smile. She is scared that she can’t find me. She doesn’t know where I am. I wait for about 15 minutes. I can just pick up the slightest sound of 6 pairs of feet coming down the stairs. I have been in this box for way to long. It’s only one pair of feet I can here. Suddenly the light turns on. It’s Amy. Here’s my chance. I jump out and scream. All of Amy’s friends are there and laughing and in the middle of them is… the funniest home videos crew. I just stand there stunned until I realize that I am standing in a box in the garage in nothing but my undies! Helllppppp!!!!!!
