TIME MACHINE
By Nina Z.

“Britney wake up time for school”, called my mother.

I got out of bed lazily.

“Time for school, but remember you have a test about Egypt, and I don't want you to miss it” called my mother again.

Let me tell you about myself. I have reddish -brownish hair and brown eyes . I’m short . I have light chocolate skin , I always wear dresses and I hate social studies.

My mother on the other hand has red hair and green eyes, and is very tall , has light brown skin, and always wears pants. She is an Scientist.

I went to school and guess what I flunked the test . When I got home my mother got so mad that I flunked the test. Then her mood brightened I knew she had an idea.

“Surprise”, she said as we went into the kitchen and she pulled off a sheet of this crazy looking thing.

“What is that”, I asked.

“Its a time machine”! she said.

“For what”? I asked again.

“ To send you to the past so that you will be interested about your past.”

Then she put me in the crazy looking thing that she calls a time machine, and pulled the lever to “past,” she said again.

My mind went blank then I opened my eyes and all I could see was people that where only half dressed. I knew that my mother’s crazy machine worked.

I knew the Egyptian language because back at home my mother insisted that I took a class that taught the Egyptian language.

Then they all looked at me and I over heard people say look at that over dressed lady. I ran to the store and the lady that worked there gave me the clothes that I was suppose to wear .

Then she said “Go visit king Tut”.

I asked where he lived.

She said “He lives in a big castle you can’t miss it”,

So I left I asked people for directions and I finally got there.

Some maids showed me to him.

“Your new in Egypt” he asked.

I got scared and I said “no”.

He hired me as a maid. Another maid showed me to my room.

The room was a dark room with the wall going to the point to the top of the room’s ceiling there where brick doors and walls.

“Hurry”, said the maid who showed me to the room. “We have some things for you to do”.

I followed the maid to the kitchen and they made me dust all the mummy cases.

It was scary then suddenly I saw a golden thing and I grabbed it.I heard some guards say “lets get her.”

I climbed in the time machine and my mind went blank and all I could see was my mother.

She was saying proudly “What is that its king Tut’s mask we will be rich. And my invention worked.”

After that I began to like social studies, and always listened carefully. And I passed my next test. My mother was so happy that she took me to China that Spring Vacation.
