Cake Madness

Oh my god, did it see me? Am I dead? I’m too young to die!!

“妈妈过来,” I said as quiet as possi-

Oops, I forgot, I have to speak English. Let me start again.

“Mom, help me, don’t let it eat me,” I whispered as loud as I dared.

“What was that son? Did you say something,” my mom said as she tried to put on her shoes.

The figure in front of me stirred, and grunted but finally fell back down to the ground.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,” I screamed as I tried to run through the lawn towards the fence which blocked separated me and freedom.

As I neared the bright light blue fence, I heard something moving from behind me. I was so scared I nearly wet myself again, but I knew if I did my mom would kill me since we were already late for kindergarten and I was more scared of her then the German shepherd slowly creeping up from behind me.

“Come on Leo you can do this, you da man,” I encouraged myself as I neared the fence.

I slowly reached out for the lock and I even touched it but what happened in the next few seconds I would never forget. I opened the lock and walked outside. I was just about to close the fence behind me whe-

“Arghhhhhh,” came a growl from behind me.

I quickly slammed the fence close, and ran behind the car. What happened next I am too embarrassed to tell but I guess I don’t have to so I guess you’ll never know, and don’t even complain to me cause I’m the writer and you’re just another guy who has too much time on your hands and that’s the only reason your reading this!

“Hahahaha you are such a scaredy cat,” said someone on the other side of the car.

“What? Whose there?” I asked too afraid to move.

I lie down onto the gravel and saw my mom’s shoes slowly approaching me.

Then it struck me, I am such an idiot. As I got in the car and sat down, I got a disturbing feeling on my butt.

“Umm… mum?” I asked trying to get her attention,” I sorta um….. how should I say this…..I uhhh…..”

“What is it son?” she asked me in confusion.

Since I was still startled from mom’s little joke, and had really bad control of my bladder, I had to pee very badly.

“I’ll be right back mom,” as I opened the car door and ran towards the fence.

I had to go so bad that I didn’t see the dog that was hiding behind the fence. I pushed the door open and hit something.

“RAWR!” yelled the dog in surprise.

It was so scared it ran inside his house. I screamed as I ran inside my house and jumped into the washroom. I was so scared I almost missed the toilet.

“BEEP BEEP,” came my mom’s car.

“Dang it!” I yelled because my fly was stuck.

I quickly did my thing and ran out of the house, not caring to lock the door.

“Hurry up Leo or I’m leaving without you,” my mom yelled over the roar of the engine.

I ran as fast as I can and tried to jump over the fence.

“Ahhhhhhhh,” I screamed as my legs tripped over the fence and I fell face flat onto the gravel road.

“Have a nice day,” my mom said to me as she ran towards her car.

I already made her very late.

“OK everyone, it’s time to sing happy birthday to Jacky,” said one of the teachers.

Jacky? Who was that? Is it a girl? Before I could find out everyone started singing Happy Birthday to Jacky, whoever that was.

“Leo start singing or Jacky will be sad,” one of the teachers said to me.

I started humming to the song since I didn’t know the lyric’s.

“Ok now,” the teachers said as soon as the song was over,” today we’ll have a party for Jacky!”

Many cheers went up from the class. Since I didn’t really care, and didn’t even know who Jacky was, I went to the play area and played by myself.

“She even brought cake for everyone!” the teachers exclaimed.

CAKE!!!!! Did I hear her right? Is there really cake? Cake seemed like the best thing in the world right now to me.

“Ummm….when will we eat it?” I asked a little embarrassed.

“Right after Jacky whacks the piñata down,” the teacher said, talking to everyone not just me,” well let’s go into the stage and hit the piñata.”

“Get it Jacky get it!”

“To the left, no, to the right.”

Omg just hit it! I want that candy! I am starving!

WHAM!

“HEY I GOT IT,” yelled Jacky in surprise.

I dived forward headfirst into the candy that had exploded under the piñata. I started stuffing myself with candy just like the other kids around me.

“OK I think that’s enough,” the teacher said after we were all lying on the ground stuffed with candy, all except me,” now let’s get to the cake.”

Some of the kids groaned. I just ran up and ran after the teacher. There in front of me was the biggest cake I’ve ever seen. It was covered in a huge coating of icing with sprinkles all around. It seemed like a dream.

“Well here I go,” I said to myself as I went for the cake.

“Leo are you ok?” came a voice.

“Yes,” I replied and opened my eye’s to see my mom there in a hospital,” ummm why are you here?”

“OK here’s what happened,” my mom started,” you were digging away at the cake and ate almost all of it ,then you got a brain freeze from the ice-cream that was in the middle of the cake.”

What? No way, that can’t be true. The last thing I remember was falling onto the floor.

“Are you sure mo-“

“Don’t worry, the doctor said you wouldn’t remember all of it,” she said cutting me off.

That’s one question answered, but what’ll happen to me now? Will I have to stay here and accompany all the pretty nurses? Or will I get to go home?

“The doctor says you should stay here for at least 2 days to see if anything happens to you,” mom said answering my question.

YES! I’ll get to be with the ladies, score one for Leo.

“But all the kids at the daycare are mad,” mom laughed,” the teachers even went out to get another cake.”

I laughed along with her, she had a really nice laugh.

“Will you be staying with me?” I asked, hoping the answer was no.

“Of course silly,” mom replied.

I tried to smile but I couldn’t. Score one for mom.

“Yay,” I said pretending to be happy.

There goes my chance with the ladies. But what will I do in the hospital?

“Mom?” I asked in my sweetest voice.

“Yes dear?” mom asked.

“What’ll I be doing for 2 days?” I asked her, hoping for a good answer.

Mom considered this for a moment.

“I got it!” she said happily as she jumped into the air,” you can come to the mall with me when you’re not in the examination room.”

My life is over I thought to myself. What happened over the next 2 days was too boring to tell you so I’ll just skip it.

“Don’t worry Leo; you’ll be fine,” my mom assured me,” it’s not like they’ll pile you and take you down.”

What she didn’t know was that they probably would do that. I knew how much they like cake.

“Ok here we are, go on in,” my mom said as she grabbed my backpack for me.

I grabbed my pack and almost peed myself again. I opened the door, waved good bye to my mom and walked into the warmth of the room.

“There he is!”

“I want the first punch!”

“Quiet down now,” the teacher said to us.

The kids ignored the teacher and charged at me. I turned around and dived for the door.

So I was back at the hospital but for a different reason this time. I was stunned by the power of a group of grade 1’s; I got bruises all over my body and couldn’t move. I didn’t get invited to another birthday party for the whole year. We’ll I have to go now, to a friends birthday party; I’ll remember to not eat as much cake. Since I ate so much cake in grade one, and really learned my lesson, I didn’t eat any cake at my new friend’s birthday.
