Alayna sat down to the computer desk to start her boring math homework, when the doorbell rang.
As if on cue all of her younger siblings raced to the door, as always.
As if on cue all of her younger siblings raced to the door, as always.
“ Egan! Dean! Norah! Stop right now, you are supposed to have an adult get to the door first before
you can open it, and remember last time you raced to the door and you tripped Norah and she
went flying and bashed her pinky on the wood floor!” Mom yelled. My older sister Kirsten was
playing her violin loudly in the other room so it was making hard to hear. When we finally opened the
door it was Norah’s friend Jovy, she always comes over to play with Norah. They ran upstairs and
started playing in Norah’s room. Alayna went back to do her math homework, when Dean skidded out
of the kitchen and began playing the piano loudly. Dean had just started piano 4 weeks ago, so he is
still in that sweet stage before they get into hard stuff. With Dean playing the Piano, Egan screaming
and Kirsten playing the violin in the hall so its sound echoed all over the house. It made it hard to
concentrate on math, Alayna went outside and sat on a bin turned upside down and started doing her
math homework again. She finished her math homework and went inside to practice her songs that
she was singing in voice lessons. She was about to finish her voice when…
“Mom! Mom! Mom!” screamed Norah.
“I’m in the kitchen! What do you need?” Mom yelled back.
“I want a snack and Jovy wants to make slime!” screamed Norah.
“Okay, Alayna can you get your sister a snack please.” Mom yelled over the noise. Alayna groaned as
she went to get Norah a snack (white cheddar Cheese Its and Blast Gold Fish, Norah’s favorite) out of
the cupboard. Mom yelled again
“ And could you make slime for Jovy and Norah to play with while I am helping Dean at the piano.”
Another groan escaped from Alayna as she got out the glue, food coloring, borax, warm water, and a
bowl for the slime.
“What color do you want?” Alayna asked.
“Pink!” Norah yelled.
“Pink!” Jovy yelled.
“Jinx!” they both said.
“Jinx again!” Norah said.
“ Didn’t mom ban that.” Alayna mumbled under her breath as she busied herself making the slime.
“When is it going to be done?” whined Norah, only 2 minutes later.
“In a minute.” Alayna said as she put the borax in the warm water. When she put the borax with the rest
of the slime, she plopped the whole sticky gooey mess on the counter to knead it. When she was done
she handed the slime to Norah to play with, the little girls squealed with delight when they got it. Alayna
ran upstairs and plopped on her bed and sighed, she rolled over grabbed her book off her bedside table
and immediately began reading. She was in the world of Refugee escaping Germans and braving a
stormy sea when…
Her mom yelled from downstairs, “Dean is done with the piano, your turn to practice.” All the
happiness and excitement drained out of her as she slowly dragged her feet down the stairs
to practice her piano. She was playing the song that she was going to play for a judged performance
when Kirsten came flying out of the hall.

“Mom can I hang out with Mckenna tonight.” Kirsten said, she was fourteen and two years older
than Alayna and always wants to hangout with friends.
“Not today Kirsten it is a school night, maybe on Friday.”
than Alayna and always wants to hangout with friends.
“Not today Kirsten it is a school night, maybe on Friday.”
“But Mooooooom” Kirsten yelled. She got cut off by Mom saying
“No buts Kirsten, you are older than that.” We heard a snigger in the background and Dean loudly
whispered to Egan,
“She said butts!” and started laughing hysterically.
“No podie talk Dean” Mom told him, put your nose in the corner. Mom left the room and dean said under
his breath.
“Put your nose in the corner Mom, you said butt first.”
Alayna sighed and went back to practicing the piano when she finished she raced upstairs
and plopped back down onto her bed. She jumped into the world that Refugee offered. A world that had
no annoying siblings and their annoying friends.
The End
