THE TREEHOUSEChapter 1- Me

I’m Holly Jenkins, I’m 12 years oldand live in Pennsylvania in a cabin-likehouse. We have 3 acres of mostlytrees. I have one older brother, Shawn;He’s always playing tricks on me. Itmakes me so mad! My Mom sells

houses, and my Dad is a car salesman.My Mom just works at home, but Dadworks at a car dealership from 11a.m.- 4 p.m. I’m in 6th grade, andShawn’s in 10th. Shawn’s 16, he candrive which is so not fair!

My best friend is Kirsten Johnson,we’ve been friends ever since 3rd

grade when she moved here. She livesin another cabin-like house right bymine, so she comes over a lot. And

yeah she’s 12 in 6th

grade too, but 7th

starts soon.



Chapter 2- Seventh Grade StartsKirsten and me walk into the 7th

grade hallway for the first time (Wedidn’t go in the 7th grade hallway lastyear because we were scared). Welooked at our schedule and we bothhad the same first class, Math Room103. We had a lot of the same classesand a lot of homework too.After school we walked home

together, the school’s not far from ourhouses. “Are you still spending thenight at my house tonight, sincetomorrow is Saturday?” I askedKirsten. “Yeah, and didn’t you say yourdad had the day off so he built you atreehouse today?” Kirsten asked. “Oh!I forgot about that yeah we can do ourhomework in it tonight, and maybesleep in it, if it’s big enough!”

Chapter 3- Friday EveningKirsten went to her house to get

some clothes, and then walked to myhouse. “Can I see your treehouse?”



Kirsten asked. “Yeah, it’s really cool!” Isaid to her. We went to my treehousein the backyard and climbed up theladder. “WOW!” Kirsten said inamazement when we came into thetreehouse. “It’s huge! Are we going tosleep in it tonight?” Kirsten asked me.“Of course we are” I replied.

That evening we put on our pajamas(hers were puppies, and mine wereSpongebob). We went up into thetreehouse with some posters. We put adolphin poster on one wall, and aMickey Mouse poster on another wall.

The walls were just wood colored,because my Dad didn’t paint them.

“We should do our math homework”Kirsten suggested. “Yeah, we should” Isaid. So we got out our homework andwe divided, multiplied, and added.After we were done with ourhomework, we decorated.



Chapter 4- DecorationsKirsten and me both blew up an

inflatable chair, one was purple andone was green. Then my Dadmanaged to get a small coffee tableup there. After that we put glow-in-the-dark stars and moons all over thewalls and ceiling. Finally I rolled outmy ladybug sleeping bag, and sherolled out her purple and yellowstriped sleeping bag. Then we hungtwo lanterns on the ceiling for morelight, since it was getting dark.

Chapter 5- Friday NightKirsten and me talked and talked, we

weren’t even tired. The lantern startedto go out so I re-lit it, and then I sawsomething that looked like a pale facein the corner. “Did you see that?” Iscaredly asked Kirsten. “Yeah” whatwas it?” she asked me. “I don’t know”I replied. “SHAWN!! Was that you?” I



screamed. “I don’t think it was Shawn”Kirsten said. We ran with our sleepingbags through the yard and into myroom. “Are you girls okay, it’s 11:00 goto bed” my Dad told us. We rolled oursleeping bags down on the floor in myroom. “I think it was a ghost” Kirstensaid. “It was a ghost, that treehouse ishaunted!” I replied.

Chapter 6- In The MorningIn the morning we ate pancakes, and

my Dad asked “Why did you girls runinside at 11:00 at night?” So I told him“We saw a ghost with a pale face, andwe were really scared because thetreehouse is haunted!” But of coursemy Mom and Dad both agreed that itwas a shadow, but Kirsten and meknew it was surely a ghost.

After breakfast Kirsten and me wentto check out the treehouse. We wentup the ladder and into the treehouse.

You could never guess what we saw,



scratched into the wood was GET OUTNOW. Kirsten was so scared, and I waseven more scared. So we went to tellmy Dad about it. “Dad, Dad!Somebody, or something scratchedGET OUT NOW into the treehouse!” MyDad said “It was probably Shawn, healways plays tricks on you”. But I knowShawn wouldn’t be smart enough todo that.

Chapter 7- MondayAfter school on Monday I went over

to Kirsten’s house. We were stillscared about the ghost. “Hey Kirsten,let’s go up in the treehouse tonight tosee if the ghost is back” I suggested.“What if it trys to hurt us?” she askedme. “It’s a risk we’ll have to take” Ianswered. “I guess we could ask itwhy it wants us to GET OUT NOW” shesaid. “EXACTLY!” I replied.



So that night we went up in mytreehouse and waited for the ghost tocome. We waited and waited, then wesaw it in the corner and Kirsten askedvery loudly and scaredly “Why do youwant us to get out?” Then surprisinglythe ghost replied “It’s not safe, GETOUT NOW!” We got out of there fast,REALLY fast.

Chapter 8- End Of The TreehouseThe next day I told my Dad to get rid

of that treehouse. He didn’t want tobut he did it because he knew Iwouldn’t stop asking him to. It wasgone forever now. I watched my Dadchop it with an ax, and we used it forfirewood.

I called Kirsten and told her thetreehouse was gone, she was just ashappy as I was. She said “It’s over andthat ghost is gone, gone forever andwe don’t have to be scared anymoreof that haunted treehouse”. I agreed
