- Kara was almost asleep when she heard a buzz and looked over to see her screen light up. The notification said "You're Invited!". Kara opened the text and saw all the event details. This was going to be so fun! She loved celebrating with her friends, and was especially excited to celebrate her best friend. When she got home from school, Kara asked her mom if they could stop at the mall later to buy something to take to the party. She didn't want to show up empty handed! Her mom said they would have to wait until it wasn't a school day. A few days later, they rushed and got to the mall as soon as it opened so that they could beat the crowds. But when Kara got inside, she wasn't even sure which store she wanted to look in first. She ended up buying something she thought would go with a lot of the clothes Jamie liked. Plus, Jamie had only gotten her ears peirced the month before so she would be excited to add to her new collection.
- I wish she would stop being mean to me, but she doesn't seem to want to. I don't know why she is doing this, but it hurts me a lot. I just want to be able to play with my friends without her making me feel sad.
- Step Four: Stop shaking and take a look. After a few minutes, the cream will turn into whipped cream.
- Do you like amusement parks? Well I sure do. To amuse myself I went twice last spring. My most memorable moment was riding on the Caterpillar which is a gigantic rollercoaster high above the ground. When I saw how high the Caterpillar rose into the bright blue sky, I knew it was for me. After waiting in line for thirty minutes I made it to the front where the man measured my height to see if I was tall enough. I gave the man my coins asked for change and jumped on the cart. Tick tick tick the Caterpillar climbed slowly up the tracks. It went so high I could see the parking lot. Boy was I scared. I thought to myself there's no turning back now. People were so scared they screamed as we swiftly zoomed fast fast and faster along the tracks. As quickly as it started the Caterpillar came to a stop. Unfortunately, it was time to pack the car and drive home. That night I dreamt of the wild ride on the Caterpillar. Taking a trip to the amusement park and riding on the Caterpillar was my most memorable moment ever!
