Anthony Garcia, Ode to That One Hot Day

Ode to That One Hot Day by Anthony Garcia

one day during a hot summer, it smelled like grass and flowers . It was eighth grade, and we had just come out of school . I called my mom to see if she was going to pick up my sister or if I would have to pick her up . My mom said she was at my sister’s school talking to her teacher, so I knew my sister had done something wrong .

So I went to my sister’s school, and when I got there my mom was looking mad . So I asked her what had happened . She said she would tell me when we got home .

On the way home it was silent . When we got home I asked my mom what had happened . She said my sister got bad grades and was talking back to the teachers, so my mom was going to take everything away, and my sister was going to switch schools . She was just waiting for my dad to get home so they could talk about what to do with my sister .

My dad got home, and I asked him if he could not ground my sister, because I knew how she felt . I had that same teacher, and she would call my parents for no reason . So I asked my dad to give my sister a month to get her grades up . If she was still doing bad, then he could switch my sister’s school .

After that my sister never wanted to get bad grades and passed the school year .
