The trip
Dryden Fletcher
I will tell you a tale about a boy that never ever like to go on vacations. But this story is not about some boy complaining about going to Bermuda; this story is about a boy that had to see his teacher on his vacation.
“Mom the whole point of vacations is to not see your teacher!” Joey complained.
“This will be a special moment that you will treasure for all your life,” His mom snapped back.
“Ya, sure” Joey said.
Well ,I think it would be a good idea to leave these two alone and move along with the story.The Fletcher's were a family of just three people: a mom His mom, a dad Charles, and a boy(joey) about the age of eleven. They would be leaving for their annual trip to Washington. But here’s the catch. Joey math teacher Mrs. Huckleberry had just moved there the summer. So for Joey that meant every time he went to Washington he would have to see his teacher. So my friends just sit back and relax and enjoy the story!
“ Joey wake up time to leave,” His mom called from downstairs.
“Wait, why it’s four in the mourning!” Joey said a little annoyed that he had been woken up.
“Joey, today we have a plane to catch,” His mom said.
“Fine,” Joey grunted and began to get dressed.
“Joey come on our flight leaves in three hour!” His mom yelled
“wonderful, then i have just the right amount of time to do my hair” Joey said with a jump in his voice
“Joey, i know you're going to be mad at me but right now your hair really doesn't matter,”she hissed as she said that
“fine mom i know how much this trip means to you so i will look like an idiot just for you” Joey said as he came down the stairs
“ Joey you do know you look pretty just the way you are,” she assured
“you're just saying that cause your my mom,” and with that we walked out of the door
When Joey got to the airport he realized something,
“mom we have to go home right now!” Joey said in a voice that sounded like trouble
“ Joey if you forgot your suitcase then will go back but if you forgot your Heat hat we wont go back,” His mom said annoyed
“never mind” Joey said ashamed
Joey new his way around the airport like it was his own house,That because the airport was like his second home. he would take like at least 10 times a year. His family really liked to travel,(he only like to travel if they were going to a Heat away game.)But today he just put his headphones in and walked to their terminal.
“Joey i’m going to get coffee want anything?” she asked
“um.. no thank,” Joey said kindly
Just as His mom got back they started to board
“first class or MVP gold members” the women said over the mic
“well that's us” Joey said
Joey and His mom ( his dad could never travel he always had work) were MVP members because the would travel so much.The funny part was that His mom loved being MVP members and thought it was a honor meanwhile Joey really didn't care as long as he got on the plane.
“here mom let me get your bag” Joey offered
“ oh Joey you're the sweetest,” His mom said blushing
“ya sure” he thought
“mom you want the window seat today?” Joey asked
“um no thank you, you can have it,” His mom said
Joey loved it when he had the window because that meant that he could pull the shield down put his hood up listen to his sleep music (R&B soul) and he wouldn't have to sound rude and say
“could you please put the windshield down”
Joey loved to be on a plane. he thought it was just the coolest thing ever.All the technology to make the thing fly and all the fuel to power it just amazed him (he was a plane nerd)He also thought that it must be a pain in the but to fly a plane because one wrong move and you just killed one-hundred people.
“Joey,Joey,Joey you want anything from the drink cart?” he mom asked
“um...maybe just a coke,” he said falling back to sleep
In about half an hour Joey was awoken by the women on the microphone telling them that they had reach their destination. he saw that His mom had put his tray table up and that his backpack had been put under the seat in front of him.And also his coke was in his lap.
“Thank you,” he mumbled
“your welcome,”His mom replied stroking his hair
the rest of the day kinda went by in a blur.All he could remember was the taxi ride and jumping into his bed in the vacation home.
The next day Joey woke up to the sound of sizzling sausage,And His mom singing.His mom had the prettiest voice ever.She never missed a note and always seem to have the pitch perfect.
He couldn't wait to get downstairs and eat His mom delicious sausages and toast.He decided that he wouldn't get dressed and wait until after breakfast
“morning sweetie, why aren't you dressed?” His mom asked
“well i smelled your sausages and heard your singing and I Thought i might wait until after breakfast.”him mumbled
“good heavens no Your teacher going to be here in half an hour, Now go get dressed”His mom ordered
“what?!?!...and who I don’t remember any teacher saying they lived here!”Joey said snarling
“Don’t talk like that,”His mom scolded
“I thought the point of vacation was to not see your Teacher!”Joey screamed and just like that he ran to his room ( with his sausages and toast)
In about half an hour Joey heard a knock on his door and knew that meant his teacher Mrs.huckleberry was here.
“Joey Mrs.Huckleberry is here,”His mom called from downstairs
“OK, i’ll be there in a second,” he called back
“Hello Mr.Joey”Mrs.Huckleberry said in her high pitch voice
imagine the worst teacher(make it a girl) you ever had.Now give it one buck tooth a few missing teeth,Also give it short gray curly hair and a freckles and one big mole under the right eye and BAM you have her.
“Hello Mrs. huckleberry” Joey said grimacing
“OK so...why don’t we have some lemonade on the patio,”His mom suggested
“I don’t want to seem rude but do you have anything else?”Mrs.Huckleberry inquired
“well we have diet coke,”His mom murmured
“Well that very kind of you but I think i’ll just have water,” Mrs. Huckleberry said
“Joey why don’t you show Mrs.Huckleberry to the patio”His mom said
“yes Mom” Joey said imitating a robot
“so Joey how has your trip been?” Mrs.Huckleberry asked
“well I've only been here for 24 hours so not much of a trip yet,”Joey joked
Mrs.Huckleberry just looked at him like he was a kid that had just told her that a dog had eaten their homework.Joey quickly realized that and change his answer to
“well first we got here and I went to bed and I think my mom did some gardening but I don’t know and this morning I watch TV” Joey paused to take a breath “ and ate my favorite breakfast Sausage and toast,And now I’m visiting with you.” Joey said gasping for breath
“well that seems wonderful,” Mrs.Huckleberry sang
“oh great”Joey thought” I have a singing Math Teacher,Hopefully she doesn't start singing about fractions”
Just then His mom came in Holding two lemonades and a water also she had a big plate of cheese,crackers and olives.When Mrs.Huckleberry saw the cheese plate she began to sing
“ooh goody cheese,olives, my favorite”
“Creepy”Joey thought to himself
“so tell How Joey doing in school?”His mom inquired
“well...um...he really knows his fractions and his knows his algebra well,”Mrs.Huckleberry stuttered
“err...Mrs.Huckleberry are you OK?” His mom asked
“oh...ya I just forgot i was allergic to olives”Mrs.Huckleberry whimpered
“oh..my lord I’m so sorry here let me take the olives away and we’ll do something else?” His mom suggested
“OK that sounds wonderful”Fretted Mrs.Huckleberry
“Joey would you show Mrs.Huckleberry to the game room” His mom instructed
“OK,Follow Me Mrs.Huckleberry down to the game room,” Joey bellowed like a tour guide
“OK?”Mrs.Huckleberry said
“what's in here?”Mrs.Huckleberry asked
“well in the game room we have a bar, a flat screen TV with huge sound systems, what else oh ya a dartboard and a pool table.” Joey informed
“I think i would like to watch some TV,Could you put it on discovery channel?”Mrs.Huckleberry asked.
“actually the world series is on and it game seven so it’s kinda important,”Joey winced
“Alright but as soon as your world series over we switch it to discovery channel,”Mrs.Huckleberry added
Joey grumbled “fine”
Just then Joey mom came in the room with crackers.
“Can you have crackers,”Joey mom asked
“yes i can have crack-”Mrs.Huckleberry started
Just then Joey started to yell,
“what is it”His mom asked
Joey said”listen

“what it it”Mrs.Huckleberry asked
Joey snapped back “shh,”

“yes did you hear that mom we won the world series yes yes yes!!!”Joey yelled
“excuse me but does he mean by they won the world series?”Mrs. Huckleberry asked
“it means,”Joey mom paused “That the giant are like the big winner,”
“I don’t get it,”Mrs.huckleberry said
“i don't either but go along with it,”Joey mom smiled
The rest of the trip was basically Joey was happy for his giants won the series. Joeys mom and Mrs.Huckleberry got together and garden before they knew it Joey was going back to school and saw his teacher in school again and Life was pretty much back to normal except that the giants won the world series.Well my Friends i think that the end of are story so goodbye for now.
