Excitement

Author's  Note: This is my Narrative Essay about getting my One Direction tickets

Present after present,  nothing that I wanted. It seemed as if the more presents I opened the more pointless each gift got. Why does my family hate me? I thought to myself. Finally, I got to last gift and I had waited to open this one. It was the most simplistic present in the pile of gifts. I quickly grasped  it, then glanced at it for a moment. Then I started imagining what it could be; then I could hear my heart beginning to beat faster as if I had just finished sprinting the mile. Gradually began to rip the wrapping paper. Trying to be dainty in every tear I made. Suddenly, I lost my diligence. Quickly I started destroying the wrapping paper. At that time I opened the diminutive box; inside was an envelope.

I glided my finger through the small opening of the envelope. Something had fallen out card un-noticed, I read the card in languid manner.  Abruptly realizing not only was there a card, there was a single sheet of paper. I lifted it out of the box and read it. Immediately, I leapt of chair and hollered so boisterously I could hear ringing in my ears. It was the One Direction tickets I’ve been wanting for a year now! I was in complete and utter shock. After my outburst I galloped over to my Dad then gave him a bear hug. “THANK YOU!” I said to him.

Shortly after, everyone began to leave.  And as I said my last goodbye to my family. I bolted into the living room and managed to stack all of my birthday presents perfectly in my limp arms. I felt like one of those employees at a movie theater trying my absolute best to stack the candy in a pyramid. Running upstairs is really hard to do while carrying a ton of birthday gifts. But, I couldn’t help myself all I wanted to do was lay in bed and let my mind wander about what the concert will be like.

I can only imagine how insane it will be to see them in person. Then I grabbed a notebook and wrote down “June 21, 2012, I just turned fourteen three days ago and in this last hour my life has already gotten ten times better. Who would’ve thought that I would acquire One Direction tickets! Insanity” I closed the notebook. And l got hold of my pillow and screamed so loud into it I think China could hear me. So jazzed about hearing their goddess like voices in person. I wonder how I will react when I am there I thought. I’m guessing there will be tears.

As I lie in my bed, thinking how incredibly amazing it will be to see my five favorite guys with my own two eyes. I pick up the box that the tickets were in and realized there was two other tickets in the box. I was kind of skeptical why there were three tickets in all instead of two.

So I walk downstairs and “Hey, Dad?” I asked.

“Yes?”

“Why is there three tickets?”

“Well one for you and an adult, and a friend.”

I freak out and then I get confused and think…Who Am I Going To Bring?
