Dog Disaster 🐕

Dog Disaster🐕

George! George! George! My eyes flung open and I was looking at a white roof. I was nice and warm and I wanted to shut my eyes again when I finally realised, I needed to check my phone! What would I do if I didn’t check my cell phone first. My wife Katie came up to the bedroom where I was and told me that my phone was ringing over and over again. I laid down in my bed for a few more minutes until my phone had rung again. I sat up instantly and got a grip on my phone. I pulled the charger out and pushed the answer button. I put the phone up to my ear with my wife looking really nervous at me as she sat down on a leather chair in our room, playing with her greyish brown strands of hair.

“Hello?” I said a little nervous. “Hello is this George Barrett?” A deep voice said to me on the phone. “Yes I’m George Barrett why do you ask?” I answered confidently. “Ahh George we have been trying to ring you for half an hour, I’m Bob here to ask you a question.” I looked over at Katie and she was on her phone doing something on it. I said back to this Bob fella. “It better not be a scam or I will hunt you down and-” I got cut off by Bob saying, “Woah,Woah,Woah wait, I was here to offer you a job.” “Oh sorry I got ahead of myself, but what job?” I replied back. “Would you like to be in one of Shawn Mendes music videos?” “Yes text me through the details see you soon!” I said in a happy way! “Bye” Bob said and I got up and got dressed as Katie redid her makeup.

Since Katie was the prime minister of Canada, yes Canada that's where we live anyways we got into this huge black limo and we even got to bring our German shepherd dog Jake! After a 20 minute drive it started to snow and we got to this studio at 10am. I got out of the limo with Katie and Jake. As the driver of the limo drove off they were flicking white, cold fluffy snow at Katie and the dog. I laughed until we had to push our way into the building because all of these teenage girls were screaming and shouting in my ear. I think I would lose my ability to hear because of all of these girls screaming!

We entered the building and saw this guy with black hair wearing a black suit but to me he looked like a bodyguard. He walked over to a camera where we saw this tall young man with amazing brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt with black jeans and He looked like he was around an height of 6'2. I think he was Shawn? Anyways Katie put Jake onto his lead and they went somewhere as I walked up to the dude who looked like a bodyguard. He said “You must be George!” I thought I knew that voice from somewhere until I said “Yes I’m George who are you?” He said back to me, “Oh sorry I’m Bob that one who you said that you were gonna hunt me down.” Bob laughed as I walked over to the boy with the amazing brown hair, I wish I had hair like that!

As I approached him he said, “Hi I’m Shawn, Shawn Mendes that is!” I replied back by saying “Oh hi Shawn , I’m George!” After that conversation we did hair, makeup and we got changed into some clothes for the music video until….. “GEORGE THE DOG!” Katie screamed at me! I was getting my hair re-done and I ran straight to Katie who was in the studio. This was the first time I went into the studio. The walls were blue and the ground was green. I saw tables, chairs, plants knocked over. It looked like World War 2 but the objects replacing people. Bob came in and saw the mess. I was surprised he didn’t get mad and turn red like a tomato! Oh wait Shawn hates tomatoes so that's probably why!

As everyone was busy helping clean up the mess we didn’t know where Jake was. The next thing we know is Jake some how opening the door and hearing screaming fans run in! They went straight to Shawn surrounding him and taking pictures. Then Bob came over to Shawn and started to get the fans away from Shawn. I knew he was a bodyguard I just knew it! Bob then was trying to get all of the Shawn Mendes fans out of the building. I decided to help him and we finally got them all out. After we got the fans out Shawn said, "Wow the Mendes Army are crazy!" I said back, "What is the Mendes Army?" Shawn smiled at me and said, "The Mendes Army are all of my fans, it is just their name for the fan base" Then Shawn walked away. Since the studio is now cleaned up Katie distracts Jake by playing with a yellow tennis ball.

When we finished the music video everyone cheered and celebrated! I shook hands with Shawn and we also had a picture together! After all that celebrating Katie, Jake and I had to go home because Katie had a meeting with Donald Trump! I’m glad we sorted things out with Jake and finished the music video, but I'm not looking forward to see Donald Trump, yet I think he should be in Mexico if that wall ever goes up!

Today at musical theatre we did some dancing and ran through some lines. First thing we did was dance. We started dancing to "Can't Stop The Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. We did that for a while until we ran through some lines. Everyone sat down in a circle and the people with lines was reading them out loud. After a while It got really uncomfortable so I laid down on my stomach and my friends did too! So after that I am writing this. I always look forward to doing this class!

  (Song we danced too)

Today in Musical Theatre we started off with some Drama games. We played them for a little bit until we went onto singing. We had to warm our voices up and then I got called in the to a small yellow room to sing. I sung and then I got my friend Faith to go in. After all that we were still singing and it was really funny! We are gonna be singing a song from The Lion King called "The Circle Of Life". Now I am writing this so Musical Theatre was fun!

Today in Musical Theatre we did some Drama warm ups,  Singing warm ups and Dance warm ups. I love drama a lot! I signed up to do a Drama solo because I feel confident. For the Drama warm up we played some really fun games to help us improve on moving around and listening. Then we played this Zombie game. There was 1 person who was a Zombie and the rest were Humans. The Humans would cross their arms and close their eyes and walk around. Where the Zombie had their eyes open and tags the humans who become Zombies. The singing warm up was just warming up our voices and singing a song from the Lion King. The dance warm up was just dancing. The opportuntie in Drama would be amazing if I got to play Nala. A Challenge is not giving up and believing in myself. I can't wait for the next lesson.
