THE MAILMAN ’ S SON Rachael Nash — Grade 7
I looked at my reflection sadly . I wanted to cry my eyes out but I couldn ’ t . My parents told me that I had to marry a random rich guy named Kyle . I have never met this guy and I don ’ t even wanna marry him . I didn ’ t want to think about what my parents or about marrying Kyle . I locked myself in my room all day because i couldn ’ t even wanna see my parents .
( 5 minutes later ) I finally came out of my room just to get a snack . My parents started trying to convince me to marry Kyle . I was so mad I wanted to run away . Just as I was about to storm off the doorbell rang . It was the mailman ’ s son Jackson coming to give us the mail . I rushed to the door as I saw him . I blushed as I grabbed the mail from Jackson .
“ He was so cute and very nice ” I said to my parents “ Who the mailman ’ s son ?” my mom asked “ Yep , he is super cute and really nice ” I said
I ’ ve known Jackson since my last year of high school . I started having a crush on him since he gave me his number on the last day of school .
My mom started trying to convince me to marry this guy
“ But I don ’ t wanna marry Kyle ” I said
“ Well I don ’ t care , you will marry Kyle or you will be single and broke forever ,” my mom screamed
“ I don ’ t like him !!” I screamed back
