"Hey Wait" yelled Mel. I kept running. I'd explain to Mel later.Right now, all
that mattered was getting those tickets. The station was about, 1 mile from my
house. I ran the whole way, inspired by seeing the Monkees, sing their hearts
out. When I reached the station, I was panting like crazy.
"I...won...those.tickets...for...the...Monkees...in...Hawaii" I managed to say.
The desk clerk stared at me. "Oh darlin'" She finally said, in a Texas accent,
"I'm tired just by lookin' atcha'. BOB ! Get the gal some soda !" I was to tired
to grin at her, so I said "I would smile at you, but I'm too tired." The soda
came. I gulped it down, it one big gulp. The desk clerk handed me the tickets.
"Thanks !" I said. "Could I use your phone?" She handed it to me, and I phoned
my mom asking for a ride. When I got home, I phoned Mel. "Hello?" I heard Mel's
voice. "Mel ? It's me" "Hey!" she greeted me." What made you psych out today." I
WON A TRIP TO HAWAII!" I shreiked. "Really ?!? Cool !" I'm !
inviting you....But there's a catch." "I'd give anything to see Hawaii. Tell me
girl" She said, sounding totally confident. " It's too see The Monkees perform."
I waited. Finally, from the other end of the line, I heard," Well, they aren't
THAT bad, so O.K" We hung up. I was so happy! Nothing could ruin this!Nothing...
