My Recount about the Holiday.

  To be honest this story is about absolutely nothing. Like it is! I don’t why you're still reading but like it is. But like i mean if you really wanna find out your gonna have to keep reading.

“Well you came” well so this story is about me in my bed sleeping,eating, playing video games but like i mean that's boring. Who wants to read that. Well maybe yeah or not you might want to read my story but i'm telling you, you maybe think i might have had a boring holiday and it’s probably true but mine was alright. Cause for hours i would play the game or watch movies all day with the curtains closed and not seeing a glance of sun the whole day and even being lazy to get food.

Later that day i thought to myself “you know what i’m gonna get up make me some breakfast, make my bed, clean the house and turn off the game”. I mean it was a thought so I mean it never happened. Unless I was screamed at or beaten to clean the house but surprisingly I wasn't. Why? Well it was because I was left all alone. “yup all alone, it was very sad. '' Dad and mum left to work, my baby brother and sister went to daycare and I was left to rot in my room and die.

But you know I played with my friends on the game but they weren’t as fun as when we played  at school cause we normally play touch or tell jokes and laugh all day. But in the game it isn't like that it’s more like “revive me! Revive me!” then at school it’s like “it’s all good we will score the next try” (pats me on the back) “pup pup”.  But you know I'm grateful to have this holiday to take a break from work and from waking up early in the morning and getting ready for school.

Although my holiday was cool and chill and boring and sad, I felt good. “Hehe”
