I went into the backyard to find my self struggling to walk through a foot and a half of snow. Marry, Alex and Katy were somewhere on the other side of the house. They were probably trying to build a snow fort.
I turned to look at the playhouse. I saw Josh sitting right on top of the roof of the playhouse looking around like it was the coolest thing on earth. It did look like the coolest thing on earth. Actually, I believe that it is. I had always wanted to get to the top of the playhouse since I couldn't remember. I was not going to let Josh be the only one who got to the top of that playhouse. No, I was not.
I started to walk to the playhouse. I start to wonder how he got up there. He must feel like the king of the world. I wonder how it feels to be the king of the world. It must feel good.
I got to the playhouse and thought about a way to get to the top. I looked at the side of the house and saw the window was open. He must have got on top of the window sill and then pulled himself up. I grabbed the window and hoisted my self up. I put my hand on the roof and then... he pushed me off. The monkey-butt pushed me off.
"Hey!" I yelled.
I got up and tried to do it again. I put my foot on the sill, pulled my self up and again he pushed me off. I was starting to get mad. I ran around to the other window and tried to get to the top over there. I put my foot on the window, jumped up to get to the top and yet again he pushed me off.
I started to yell at him, "Josh, I want to get to the top!" I started up again and this time he kicked me.
"Josh, you poop-head, let me get to the top. Now!" I screamed. I was really mad now. I wanted to get to the top. I wanted to be a king. I wanted to see the whole back yard. I tried another time. I put my foot on the window. I pulled myself up, and just as before he kicked me.
I fell hard this time. I fell so hard that it hurt. I felt my face getting hot and a huge lump in my throat. I got up and ran away to the air conditioner thingy and sat behind it. I cried. I cried really hard. Why is Josh so stupid? I just wanted to get to the top, just the top. Just to see the whole backyard the whole big, huge, backyard. He is such a meanie-head. He is the meanest kid on earth and a bid dumb-head too. I heard someone coming so I stopped crying.

"Are you okay, Natalia?" I herd someone ask in a questioning voice. It was Josh.
"It is pronounced Natalia, not Nadalia." I said. My voice was all cracked, I felt my tears freeze to my face but I did not care. I was mad, remember.
"I'm sorry. I was just playing. I did not mean to hurt you." He said. I looked at him. His face was all sorry looking and his light blonde hair was glued to his face. His eyes were all shinny.
"I just wanted to get to the top." I wined. He came and grabbed my hand and pulled me up. He started to walk to the playhouse.
"What are we doing?" I asked.
"I am going to help you get to the top," he answered.
"Really?" I was beginning to get excited.
