Writing Prompt: Write a journal entry as if you were a certain character form your reading
Once I found out that Margo was in the Paper Town of Algoe, New York, I knew I had to go. I had to go now. Even if that meant missing graduation. Surprisingly, my parents understood, and let me go. I was all ready to go in my brand new car, that my parents bought me for graduation. I thought I was going alone, but then I found out that my two best buddies, Radar and Ben, were ready to come with me. Along with Ben's girlfriend, and Margo's best friend, Lacey.
In the rush to leave, there was no time for packing food or anything. We were on a 21 hour car trip and we forgot to pack food. Radar had calculated that we needed to go at 72 mph at all times, if we were going to make it on time. We only had time for four, six minute stops, for gas and food. Right now, all we have is gum, half a Snickers, and were weren't stopping for another four and a half hours. Along with that Ben really has to pee.
I'm really excited for this trip. I think it will be a really good time. Honestly, I think it's the most fun I've had since the last time I've spent hours behind a steering wheel of a minivan. I wonder if Margo created this journey for us on purpose. Maybe that's one of the things she was figuring get out, and writing in her black journal.
