On to the Next Day
Tomorrow came, bringing strong rainstorms with it. Kelsey sat in her classroom looking out the
window with a disappointed face. Why does it have to rain today? There is
no way I can go to the door when it’s pouring like this. This is such a…
Kelsey sweeps her book, notebook and pen into her backpack,
joining Chavonne as she leaves the classroom.
“Sorry…I was totally thinking of something else”, Kelsey explains.
“What were you thinking about?” Chavonne asks as they walk
down the hall.
“Just daydreaming.
Wishing it was nicer outside.”
Chavonne laughingly says, “Aren’t you always
daydreaming? I don’t know how you are
such a good student with all of the daydreaming you do.”
Kelsey smiles. “I’m just that talented. I’m off to English for my test. See ya!”
She waves and heads into her English class.
Kelsey sits down in her seat, takes out her pen, and readies
herself for her test. The class goes
quickly as does the rest of the day.
Kelsey’s afternoon is filled with homework. The rain doesn’t stop the entire evening and
continues into the next morning. That
Thursday, school drags on. As the day
goes by and the weather gets nicer, Kelsey begins thinking about the door
again. She dreams of the wonders that
she might find beyond the tunnel, as she eats lunch with the other girls.
Oh no…I completely
forgot about soccer practice! Kelsey’s heart sinks, “Yeah, of course I’ll be
there.”
Kelsey muddled through soccer practice, running the drills,
playing scrimmage, but not really participating at full capacity.
Afterwards, she packed up, went home, did her homework, and then it was time for bed. Friday was another rain filled day. Kelsey’s prospects of getting to the door before the weekend looked horrible. Since the weather would not cooperate with her plans to explore the door, she made plans with Kyla to go see a movie.
She had a great time with Kyla, and the movie was pretty good, but what she was really excited about was the stars that she saw when she came out of the theater.

Please be clear and
dry tomorrow!!! She thought as she said good-bye to Kyla. While she lay in bed, waiting to drift off to
sleep, she checked her phone to see what the weather was going to be for
Saturday.
A sun above “Saturday” appeared on her phone, creating a huge smile on Kelsey’s face. How am I going to sleep? I am so excited! Tomorrow I’ll finally see what is down the tunnel!

Her thoughts whirled around in her head.
Thoughts of the orange light and what it might be, where the tunnel is going to lead, what adventures is she going to have? Even with all of her excitement, she finally drifted off to sleep, but her dreams continued to contemplate what her day tomorrow may entail.

Jaclynn,
I have a projector that I used for the movie. My camera is on a tripod so that it can take the pictures in low light. So when the dolls face the screen light reflects on their faces just like in a real movie theater! It turned out really neat!
Wow! That is amazing!! Great job! :)
