June 27 Super summer so far! Maybe a new mystery?So far it's been swell. I love to drop the books, and just have fun this summer. Just a few days ago, Marissa, Dot, Holly and I just went to a new waterpark in Sisquane called Kaploosh! and we had a blast of a time. There was a water balloon 'warzone' area called Balloon Fight! and I nailed Dot a lot of times, but Marissa and Holly got me back. It's a really neat area because you can actually run around without worrying about slipping and falling, because they use a special kind of AstroTurf on the ground. There's also large twisted structure you can hide in or behind. It's awesome! We also got sight of Heather in some hideous bikini that was way too small for her. We giggled, and while Heather and her posse were playing around, we discreetly aimed several balloons at HER! She never knew where it came from! It just made my day.
There's a bunch of other neat things about the park too like a mega water chute, lazy river, a water jungle gym, and a wave pool and other stuff. After we were tired, we stopped by an on-site Baskin Robbins and ordered some cones. It was also hot that day, like around 97 degrees, so the water and ice cream helped a LOT.
So it's been a boring couple of days, until this morning. I was just munching on Gram's oatmeal (which she practically makes everyday!) when I heard this loud KABOOM! It seemed to be coming from Broadway. I wanted to check it out, but Grams, in her usual worried state, didn't want me to go... not without finishing my break first. So I just gulped it down, and rushed out of there. I had to see what was going on! I jumped onto the fire escape and noticed some smoke in the distance. I got down as fast as I could. I jump to the ground, run out the bushes and smacked into someone in a large yellow raincoat and grizzly hair. He has some really burnt gloves, and he looked like he's been jogging for awhile. We both fall to the ground and his creepy-looking face kinda spooked me. I got up fast, said a quick sorry and took off towards Broadway, while he ran the opposite way. I noticed his raincoat had two large letters that said RC on it.
When I finally reached Broadway, I was just shocked. The front section of Maynard's Market had a humongous hole in it, that littered the street with debris. Fumes were coming out the gap and EMTs were arriving on the scene. A crowd gathered as the police cordoned off the area and a fire truck pulled up. Out the door comes John Maynard all soot-covered and coughing. What the heck was going on? John's dad, Mr. Maynard runs over to him, and instead of comforting him, what do you think he does? He starts yelling at him! "How could you have done this, you dope?" "I leave you alone in the morning for just one hour, and it blows up?" "Argh!!" An officer separates the two before it goes on even further.
I notice Officer Borsch on the sidelines, and even though I still don't like him, I want to see what he knows about what happened.
"Hey Officer Borsch! What's going on here?" I asked.
Office Borsch, with a frown, replies, "Hmmph. Not much that I know yet or could tell you. If you ask me though, Maynard's son just smokes too much and must have hit something flammable."
I'm thinking it could be true, but it just didn't seem right to me. There seemed to be more to this than what it looked like. Anyway, the smoke died down, and there wasn't much to look at, so I went back. I stopped at a pet store and got some cat food for Dorito, and went back inside.
Later, I'm going to look around the scene and try to talk to Maynard's son about what happened. There just seems to a be a mystery in this, somewhere. It'd be awesome to stumble upon another mystery. June 09 It's summer time again!Finally! I've been counting down the days till summer time, and it's finally here. I got off school officially Monday, and I've been planning out my summer.
I plan on hanging out with my friends a lot, solving mysteries, skateboarding, playing some more softball, and whatever else is going on.
Just tonight, Marissa, Dot, Holly, and I stopped at the new Baskin Robbins store that opened up in town, and gave it a whirl. MMMM! I had 2 scoops: chocolate mint and strawberry on a waffle cone, Marissa had Tutti Fruitti in a waffle bowl, Holly had Mississippi Mud (Chocolate) in a waffle cone, and Dot had two scoops of Vanilla and Rocky Road on her waffle bowl. We sat at one of the tables and caught up on how things were going. Then we shopped at the mall a bit and left at closing time.
That's about all that's been going on lately. Hopefully I get some new adventures! |
