I was digging through some of my old journals and drawings and stuff the other day (knee-deep in my bedroom's RECENT journals and drawings and stuff) when I found a piece of paper containing a hand-written choose-your-own-adventure-story thing that I must've made one day while in class.
It was short, but so fun I decided to remake it onto here.
Basically, in case you don't know how this works, you start at "1" and read the description. At the bottom of the description will be either "go to (this number)" or "If you do (this), go to (this number), but if you instead do (this), then go to (this other number)".
Whatever it is, find that number on the page and read the description.
Try to imagine what you'd do in these crazy situations!
There are three different endings, so feel free to try again and again till you've gotten to them all.
Welcome to....
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE STORY #1:
"FIRST DAY OF HIGHSCHOOL"
1.
It's your very first day at a new school, but you missed the bus and had to walk. You check your watch when the school is in sight and realize that the bell is about to ring! But just at that moment you see a tornado right behind you. It's big, and it's coming towards you fast! If you make a run for the school anyways, go to 2.. If you drop to the ground and say your prayers, go to 3.
2.
You run for it, yelling your lungs out--you can't be late for school! But the tornado catches up to you, picks you up, and throws you around for a little while before disappearing. You check for any broken bones, but you're okay, thank the heavens. However, the bell has already rung as you limp into the school. Go to 4.
3.
You drop to the ground, face down, and place your hands over your head like you've been taught. The tornado passes you, but you don't feel safe until it totally disappears. When it finally does, you get up and run into the school--but after checking your watch, you see that the bell had rung a full fifteen minutes ago! But maybe it doesn't matter. The teachers will surely understand that your life is more important than school, right? Go to 4.
4.
Everyone stares at you as you walk into your first class, looking dirty. You are sent to the principal's office and asked for an explanation. But when you try to tell them you were interrupted by a tornado on the way to school, the principal doesn't believe you! He calls you a fat, ugly liar. If you punch him, go to 5. If you hold back your anger, go to 6.
5.
You punch the principal, enraged. The principal punches you back several times, and as you lie on top of his desk, recovering, he calls the police. They arrive 30 seconds later and it isn't long before you're thrown in jail. If you escape the jail, go to 7. If you sit in your cold cell and wait to be released, go to 8.
6.
You decide not to punch the principal, and instead stand there listening to his long, angry lecture. After about half an hour, though, the principal gives you the punishment for being so late and arriving in such a terrible state: you are banned from the high school! You head back home, overjoyed, to play Minecraft and Undertale in your parent's basement for the rest of eternity.
THE END.
7.
You escape jail through a kid-sized gap in the window and run, run, run, away from the jail and out of the town, towards Hawaii. You arrive in Hawaii, exhausted, about 5 minutes later and decide to live there. For the rest of your life you bathe in the sunshine, and never, ever have to go to high school again.
THE END.
8.
After an hour or so your parents find a sensible lawyer, and you're soon released from jail. Sadly, you still have to go to school. Surprisingly, you make a lot of friends on the first day, and walk back home at 3:30pm, feeling excited for the next day. But just as you step off of the school grounds, you turn into a hamster. Looks like you're staying at the school from now on.
THE END.
