In an ordinary town, a normal girl was an elite swimmer. Her name was Mikayla Mcrumble. Mikayla is all things bad, annoying, rude and obnoxious.

Mikayla was walking back from swim practice. When she saw Holly and Patrick. She called out “The Geeks!” Wondering what they were doing outside her house.

Patrick said softly “We’re doomed!’’ Patrick and Holly start running. Mikayla shouted “I’m not gonna waste my breath on you.” Then suddenly, a bag drops from an old, wrinkly tree.

She grabbed the old bag. Then an old furry rabbit grabbed the rotten gross bag off Mikayla.“BANG! BANG! CRASH!” the old rabbit dropped the bag.

NO!!!! Mikayla screamed.

She was devastated then she realised it was still in contact. She grabbed the bag and Caitlyn saw her.

Caitlyn yelled “what are you doing?’’ Mikayla didn’t answer. She ran into her room and opened it.

“ARRGH a Camera” Mikayla was absolutely furious. She yelled “I wasted my time on this!’’
