Mirror, Mirror

What would happen if your mirror came to life and starting commenting on your look in the morning?

What would it say?

How would you respond?

I was overthinking about what I should wear for the party. My room was infested with clothes that were just thrown around like nothing. "ugh before you leave, clean this pigsty of a mess" I spun my head directly to where that noise came from and fell to the ground screaming as I saw that my mirror come to life! I thought that only happens in movies. "nonsense now, go change into that fit by the dresser sister" it wasn't as scary as I thought. I slowly crept over to get the outfit and hid to change. "mhm sister that looks fine on you" I fluttered with embarrassment and smiled shyly speaking under my breath "thanks" I don't know how my mirror can suddenly speak but it knew fashion. "don't thank me if you wouldn't have brought that you would have been done, sis. now hurry to the party your going to miss it" I was speechless I was about to say something but the party had already started and I was in a rush.

We arrived early before the siting started. They welcomed us into their country with respect and were so kind. The good thing about it was there was going to be amazing views upon us, the bad thing was we were staying in a motel full of termites. We got up first thing in the morning and out the door. The food was delicious. The folks made a traditional meal from china. They made a dish called 'Kung Pao Chicken' its basically a stir-fried dish made with cubes, chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers. I was full for the whole day. We ended up going on a tour and animal sitting around china. The trees were covered in pink little flowers swaying through the air. It looked like I was in a movie. Never trust me with money. I nearly spent all my money on the things that were there and my bag was already stuffed with ornaments and traditional clothing. The weather was a nice hot day, not too hot, not too cold. It was getting dark fast so we decided to go back to the place we were staying, unstuff out bags and fell asleep.

Athletics day

On athletics day we dressed up in our house colors. Riroriro (blue), Mohua (yellow), Tieke (red). We watched everyone race and cheering them out. We ended up not doing the athletics but supported them throughout the way. I liked how we switched courses but took time in between to get a break.
