Omg. I’m gonna share everything I wrote in elementary / middle school.
My writing was so cringy, and 99% of the stories I wrote were about middle school aged girls getting in fights 
Ew
“Katrina!” my mom called from the kitchen. “You’d better be getting dressed. I have to drop you off early at school today.”
I groan. My mom owns this stupid reality TV show, called The Lazy Girls, which is just about lazy and weird girls being lazy. The Lazy Girls doesn’t even have a chance of becoming popular. You see, she won a big contest, and this reality show, is tearing my family apart. But, you see, that’s what the viewers want. My sisters and brothers are always in a bad mood. Dad and Mom are always arguing. And what they show on TV isn’t real. It’s not the true story. And the worst of it is school. But, no I won’t think about school yet. I have an hour of freedom from thinking about it.
“Okay, okay, I’m coming,” I groaned. It’s a Friday, which means tomorrow’s the weekend. But I’ll have to spend the entire weekend bored, because Mom’s TV show is making more episodes.
I threw on some clothes, brushed my teeth, and headed downstairs to the kitchen. On the table there were two plates filled with blueberry pancakes, my favorite breakfast.
“Yum,” I said.
“Where’s Melody?” Mom asked. “I thought I asked you to wake her up, too.”
I groaned again. Mom’s attention is so on her show, she is starting to get a little forgetful. She even forgot my name one night.
Also, Melody is my ten-year-old sister, and she’s ten, two years younger than me. I have a fifteen-year-old sister named Linda, three years older than me. And then there’s Jack and Will, who are fraternal twins. They both are six. My family is huge.
“You never told me that I should wake Melody up,” I told Mom. “Besides, she always yells and screams at me whenever I go to wake her up.”
“Oh, all right,” Mom said. “I’ll wake her up, then. Keep eating your breakfast.”
I nodded and she left the kitchen.
I finished my breakfast, put my plate in the sink, washed my face and hands, grabbed my backpack, put on my shoes, and headed outside into the warm, spring air.
As I waited for Mom, I took a look at our garden. Mom isn’t at home during the day, so Dad waters the flowers. We have roses, sunflowers, tulips, daffodils, and hydrangeas. Over in the vegetable section, we have corn, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and peas growing. Lastly, in the fruit section, we have an apple tree, some oranges, strawberries, watermelon (that Dad recently planted), and pineapples. Dad’s an awesome gardner.
Suddenly, I heard someone say behind me, “Sister Katrina?”
I turned around. It was Jack, my six-year-old brother. He was still in his pajamas and was barefoot. He was holding a stuffed kangaroo in one hand.
“Jack?” I said. “Why are you out here? Mom doesn’t like it when we go out barefoot.”
“Will is annoying me,” Jack said. “He won’t let me sleep.”
I checked my watch. It’s only seven-thirty, and Jack’s and Will’s elementary school starts at eight forty-five. Jack and Will both usually get up at eight, so Jack and Will get thirty more minutes to sleep.
“Tell Mom,” I suggested. “She’ll take care of it.”
“She can’t. She’s too busy yelling at Melody.” Jack giggled after he said that.
But I frowned. Out of my family, I hate Melody the most. She’s always grumpy and lazy and never wants to do her homework. She only wants to hangout with her friends and eat junk food and watch TV and stuff. Trust me, out of my family, I like Jack the most.
“Then go to Dad. Seriously, Jack. I’m all ready to go to school. I’m waiting for Mom. Tell Dad.”
“Okay,” Jack said, heading back toward the house.
From Melody’s open window, I heard Melody yelling, “No! I don’t want to go to stupid, boring school. I’m staying right here!”
“Oh, no you’re not,” Mom replied angrily. “Come on, Melody. Katrina is outside waiting for us.”
“I am not coming.”
I sighed loudly. Before Mom won that stupid contest, everything was going well. Melody wasn’t as grumpy and lazy as she is now. Mom and Dad barely argued with each other. My siblings and I mostly used to get along. But since Mom won that contest…my family is going crazy. And it’s all The Lazy Girls’s fault.
Mom came out a few minutes later, dragging an angry Melody behind her. Mom’s face was red, and Melody’s face was pale.
“Thank goodness you’re already ready,” Mom muttered to me under her breath.
We all got into our family car (it’s a blue Lexus), buckled ourselves in, and we were off…to Michelle Ann Middle School.
Mom dropped Melody and me off. We were twenty minutes early today. Yesterday, we were one hour early at school.
“Why does Mom even have this stupid reality show?” Melody asked me. I knew from that tone of hers that she wanted an answer right away.
“I told you. She won a contest, and her prize was owning The Lazy Girls. She tried to tell the judges that she just did the contest for fun, but the viewers wanted Mom to own that show. And because of that show, our family is totally ruined.”
“And going crazy,” Melody added. Then she made her face get annoyed. “Then why is there a contest?”
I frowned. “I don’t know, Melody. Now can you just keep quiet? I have a singing show today, and I’m nervous. I need to concentrate. Understand?”
“No. Answer my question first.”
I knew from that tone of her voice that she wouldn’t shut up about it, so I ignored her and walked over to an empty picnic table. I calmly sat down (even though I was screaming in my head), and began to take deep breaths. I closed my eyes.
