Just A Joke

I jumped off the stage, laughing at something Nysha had said.
"I'm going to the bathroom!" I shouted over my shoulder as I headed toward the bathroom in the big gym. Violeta followed, telling me some story. I got inside just as one of the teams scored. I fluffed my hair and headed into one of the cubicles. I undid my belt when Violeta turned out the lights. It was typical for her to do this but I squealed just to make it fun.
"I'm going to get you for this Violeta!" I said, trying to sound menacing. She didn't reply. I groaned and fumbled at the lock on my cubicle. I shook the door and it finally opened. I did my belt all over again so I didn't embarrass myself. I saw a pair of feet at the door.

"I can see you!" I shouted at the figure. She let a high-pitched scream and cowered to the corner of the bathroom, trying to get out. I grabbed her and turned the lights on.

"Gawd! It's just me! Did you actually expect me to do my business in the dark?" I said, letting go of her. She laughed like crazy and nodded.

"You seriously scared me!!! I thought you were a ghost!" she yelled and looked as if she might've really been scared.
I rolled my eyes and we headed back to the stage where Nysha and Yeji were having a deep conversation about rock, paper, scissors. We told them what happened and they laughed politely at our stupid joke. After that we just discussed ghosts and those sort of supernatural stuff.

  1. Nice SOL!!I like how you tried to put some conventions that we learned. I love the last pargraph saying "Nysha and Yeji were having a deep conversation about rock, paper, scissors." Well to be more precise, we were doing a game USING rock, paper , scissors...
    It was awsome, I laughed like crazy:P

  2. Well hmm, that does seem kind of scary to be in the bathroom in the dark. Luckily nothing bad happened. It's a good thing that you reflect on it as a joke, I really liked that you added some dialog in your writing. Great job!
