I wrote a story on the theme of New Year 2022!

2022

I would’ve been at the party if I didn’t want to spend the last minutes of 2021 by myself. All my friends were there. They persuaded me to join them. But I refused. “Why party when you can stay home, snug in a blanket?” I asked them. They were quite surprised by my decision and left me alone.

It was 11 pm. I baked some cookies and got some milk and took out my exam board to use it as a minor table. I turned off the light in my room and gently placed my cookies and milk. Okay. Two minutes to New Year.

KNOCK, KNOCK!

I have to get the door. But I might miss the New Year, I thought sadly. I quickly went to the door and opened it. It was my karen neighbour.

“Keep it low!” she said.

“It’s not me! It’s from the party hall!” I said real quick.

I checked my watch. 1 more minute to New Year!

“Ha!” she said, “Really? Who in this terribly noisy world will party at this hour! Why would they?”

“Uhh…It’s a new year party?” I said.

Oh, no. 20 more seconds!

“I have to go,” I said and closed the door and locked it.

I ran as fast as I could to my room. Phew. Just in time. 5 more seconds.

I took a deep breath in.

3…

2…

1…

It was quiet for about 3 seconds.

“HAPPY NEW YEARR!!!!!!!!” shouted the whole community.

Firecrackers exploded, illuminating the sky. Music blasted from the speakers. I heard laughs coming from the party room. I took a bite out of my cookie and got up. I turned on the light and got my best dress.

I wore my hair down and splashed some makeup on. In 2 minutes, I reached the party hall.

My friends were so happy to see me.

“YOU CAME!” they shouted, “HAPPY NEW YEAR!”

They gave me cake and a drink. They even introduced me to a boy.

“He likes you!” they giggled in my ear, “Isn’t he cute!”

“Yeah, He is pretty cute,” I blushed.

“Ooooooooooh!” they squealed.

At 6:30, the sun rose up, letting us bathe in its warm heat. I took a deep breath in.

“Happy New Year,” I whispered to myself, “Happy New Year,”
