<How my Brother Killed my Best Friend>

Next Thursday is the day the eighth graders have been waiting for all year long. It's an eighth grade privilege to choose where to go for the end of the year class trip. Last year the eighth graders went to the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. This year they wanted to go skiing in Colorado. Some of them don't like skiing, but others would kill to go.


Allyson woke up, showered, got her skiing clothes, found her skies and went down to get her skiing boots. She then walked into her brother's room. Everything was in it's place, clean and perfect. Allyson saw all of the ribbons and medals and trophies on his shelves, some were from track competitions, others from snowboarding races but most were from his swimming competitions.
"Wake up sleepy head," screamed Allyson "today is finally the skiing trip, you wouldn't want to miss my departure, would you?" She boasted, her brother Andrew loved snowboarding and went whenever he could, but his time it was just Allyson.
"You're evil," he murmured.
"Yeah, I know," replied Allyson.
They kept arguing and didn't notice London, their sixteen year old sister walk in. "Guys stop it! Listen, mom just got a text from Michael's Dad and turns out Micheal broke his foot yesterday," London said. "So, Andrew you can go to Colorado. Although Allyson has to be okay with it."
"Oh Allyson, pleaseee," Andrew said as he went to get his snowboard.
Allyson stared at the wall for a couple seconds. "Ugh, you have got to be kidding me" Said Allyson as she rolled her eyes.
