The teacher finally dismissed us so we could finally get into our cars, and drive back home. I was dreading that day at school and I was so tired, especially because it was heavily raining outside. I saw my little brother in the car with my parents waiting to pick me up, and they all seemed so unusually excited as I wondered why. I went inside the car, and we didn’t take the usual route we take when we drive home, so I asked them where we were going. They said home in a casual way, so I didn’t expect anything. Then, we arrived at the airport as they all hollered, “SURPRISE! WE’RE GOING TO NEW YORK!!” and I was so shocked and confused I didn’t even know what to do or say. I was speechless. I was so happy, filled with this huge amount of joy inside of me. Once we arrived at New York, we needed to catch a ride. We decide to try to find someone who will take us and we found a yellow taxi. We got in, as we drove as we headed to our hotel, our hotel is called “The Grand Resort”. I was so ecstatic especially because it’s a luxury resort! Once we got there, we unpacked all of our luggage and decided to take that day as a rest. We rested that day and the next, we woke up and all went on a hiking trip to the mountains. We drove towards the mountains, the view was spectacular!! Everything there felt so alive, and I even saw this amazing waterfall! The weather was just perfect as well! I enjoyed my trip there, and I wish I could go back there again!
I had been looking for the key to my diary everywhere! I interrogated everyone in my family, including my little brother Ollie who always snoops through my stuff. He promised he didn’t do it, that’s the same thing my parents told me and I don’t think my parents would ever do such a thing. I was just starting to gain trust in Ollie until one day, I saw a key in his pocket. He doesn’t have keys for anything and shouldn’t have. There wouldn’t be a reason he should have one for something. He’s nine years old. The next day, I went to the park with him and he was running around while we were playing tag, then I saw something on the ground. A key dropped down on the grass right behind him.
