Short Story World

It was getting close to dinnertime, and my stomach was growling on cue. The intoxicating aroma of food invaded my nose. My mother must have been cooking something really good. I walked downstairs from my room and decided to see what she was cooking.

"We're having waffle fries with melted cheese for dinner!" My mother announced.

"Did you use Cracker Barrel cheese?" I asked.

"I sure did," my mother said. "There's Dr. Pepper in the fridge."

I opened the fridge and got out a can of Dr. Pepper. "Got any Cool Whip?' I asked.

"What do you need Cook Whip for?" My mother inquired.

"To put on my waffle fries," I said.

"Oh okay," said my mother. "Would you also like some chocolate syrup for an even more sweet contrast?"

"Sure!" I exclaimed. I got out the container of Cool Whip, and Hershey's chocolate syrup. First, I put the Cool Whip on, then the chocolate syrup. Eating my waffle fries, I enjoyed the cheesy, and sweet combination I added.

"So, Bridget, how was school today?" My mother asked, drinking some tea.

"It was okay, nothing special," I replied. "Luke still has a crush on me as always. I keep telling him I'm not interested."

"Give him a chance, sweetie," said my mother.

"I guess you're right," I said.
