Where do I go?

In a bright sunny day on April the 30th my friends, auntie and I went to the city because it was my friend Yssabelle’s birthday.

“Honk, Honk” I jumped in excitement because they were here. I quickly, popped my shoes on and went to the living room to kiss my brothers on the cheek as a sign of goodbye. I rushed to the door and blessed my uncle (placing the hand of a Filipino person on your forehead is a sign of respect in the Filipino custom).  Then I ran to the car and saw two of my friends at the back seats. On the way, we were talking about where we’re going to live once we pass the age 21, We planned to only live in a apartment for two years.
           After  minutes of chit chatting, we finally reached our destination. We walked our way into a underground room full of arcade games. Suddenly, my eye caught the registration area. Both Yssabelle and I ran past Alessandra and my auntie. As my shoe lace wasn’t tied properly, I tripped over and luckily there was a bean bag or I would’ve  been sitting in a hospital bed sulking because there was shattered glass on the floor.
Luckily, my aunt wasn’t looking because she was glaring at the shiny jewellery invitingly  displayed in a shop’s window, if she had seen me, I would have be in great trouble.  I swiftly got up, acting as if nothing had happened. After all that chaos, my aunt paid our entrance fee leading to an adventurous place. We wore light blue gloves so that we could sense more than using our hands. As our feet were walking one bye one, our hearts were beating fast because we were really excited on what was at the other side of the door.
The first room was like a technology bridge leading to a door. However, the bridge started to shake as if I was in an earthquake. Luckily I managed to cross by using the skill of  crawling to the other side. As I got up I saw my friends struggling to get across, so I pulled down a lever so that it would stop shaking. Although, it was really hard to find the door because it was pitch black the second I pulled down the lever.
While they were trying to find an exit from the horrifying room, I was using the sense of touch so that I could find our way out. Suddenly, I my hands slipped among a wall and I fell into this hole. I looked up and saw a jungle full of trees. “Alessandra, Yssabelle!”, I yelled. Both of them ran to me and looked up. They were both scared on what was in front of them because it was pitch black. We converged together so that we would know where everyone was. .
As my hands were sensing the crooked walls I felt a long furry strip, “Ahhhhhhh”, I yelled, thinking it was spider. I ran as quick as a lightning bolt striking to the earth. Unfortunately, I lost my friends. On the tip of my throat I yelled, “Guys, where are you?” There was no response. I searched the whole jungle, but there was no sign of them. I had no choice, but to continue on in the maze.
As soon as I laid a step on the next room, my friends jumped up and scared me to death. However, the room was beautiful because it was a sparkly glass room. On the wall, there was a picture frame that had a pink painting. I removed my gloves as I was told and placed bare hands on it. “Nothing’s happe, Ow”, it shocked me. An electrical current stung me on the tips of my fingers and stung my hands like a bee sting.
I had a feeling the next room was the last room, because my friend Yssabelle said that the maze was short. Opening the door, my eyes caught the sight of weird crystal goggles. Once I popped them on, it looked like Yssabelle’s head was decapitated and the walls around us were made out of crystals. After wearing them, there were zorbing balls, which were like human sized hamster balls. However, there were people in them so we just skipped that room. My eye caught a glazing door, that had signs saying, “COME IN, THE MYSTICAL DOOR,” and so on.
Alessandra opened the door and a blower blew wind and leaves to us. It was really hard crossing it because the force from the machine pushed me forward. I finally made it to the other side, there were millions (I mean millions) of pool noodles leading to the end of the maze. I swam to the other side, imagining that it was a swimming pool. Once I got to the end, I saw my auntie waiting there saying, “Well done!” My friends and I ran to her and hugged her because we were grateful to her for paying our entrance fee.

I had real fun going to the Odyssey Sensory maze and next time I hope that there would be more doors that would lead us to mystical places or rooms that had clues. It  would have to be the best experience of my life so far. I look forward to my next maze experience.
