It was a humid morning on the 14 of June. When Ms. Kate Jarrold woke up that morning she knew that it was a special day, she could not control the happiness in here and she just had to do a victory dance. The reason why Ms. Kate was in high spirits was because instead of going to work she started packing for her summer trip, that’s right, the summer holiday had started. For her summer holiday Ms. Kate decided to go back to Scotland.
About 35 minutes later Ms. Kate called a taxi and was on her way to the airport.
When it was her turn to check in apparently there was a problem, it seemed the people at the counter gave someone else her seat, so the only solution was to move her up to business class.
5 and a half hours or 25 glasses of water later Ms. Kate arrived in Scotland. The moment she stepped out of the airport she put her bags down closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the cool air into her lungs.
After her sweet reunion with the Scottish air Ms. Kate called a cab and asked it to take her to Loch Ness 66 road (the road that she lived in). Now the funny thing is whenever Ms. Kate would ask taxi drivers to take her home some taxi drivers would refuse to ,and would ask here to take another car.
After the taxi driver heard the destination Ms. Kate wanted to go to he chuckled. She ask him in a polite way
“why the chuckle” he answered “oh nothing mam, its just where u live”
“yes what about it” she said
“most taxis would never go there”
“yes I have noticed why is that?”
‘rumor has it mam that on cool nights like these a creature appears’
“a creature? Sir you can not be serious?’
“oh yes mam I am, I am speaking of creature so ancient that it is as old as time its self. Loch Ness..”
“Right…you named the “creature” after the lake?”
“On the contrary mam the lake was named after the creature’
“Really know”
As Ms. Kate was looking out the window too the Lake Loch Ness the driver said erratically ‘15.50” she replied “what, is that the time the creature comes out?’, “no’ said the driver “that’s how much the fair costs” pointing at the meter while speaking. Realizing the silly mistake she had made she went red ,and handed the driver a 20 pound note and said “keep the change” “thank you mam, oh mam and another thing’ handing a card with a telephone number on it and saying “if you need anything please don’t hesitate to give me a call, you never know when you need a favor”.
After that strange ride from the airport Ms. Kate was whipped out and couldn’t wait to lie down on her bed, but as she opened the door she heard a noise of soft but recognizable sound. As she turned around to see what it was she saw in the distance a dark shadow on the edge of the lake. Becoming a little anguishes she quickly rushed inside and slamming the door and locking it.
The morning Ms. Kate woke up she felt so good and fresh, she really slept like a rock. As she changed and brushed her teeth she went downstairs to make herself a cup of tea. Once she finished she went into the sitting room to watch some TV. As she turned it on and was listening to the morning news she knew something was not right.
“Good morning Scotland, it is the 20 of August, the weather forecast seems to be good today”. Ms. Kate started laughing and wondering why they said the wrong date. When she changed the channel she noticed that the date was the same 20 of August. Confused and annoyed she didn’t understand why the date was wrong so she went to check her phone, then she became shocked when she checked her phone she noticed she had 390 missed calls.
Ms. Kate was seriously confused she didn’t understand how in the world she had been sleeping for over 2 months. The only thing she could think of was that weird taxi driver she took, he might have done something to her, so she gave the guy a call and ask if they could meet the driver said he would come to the Ms. Kate’s house at around 11 at night.
That night the guy came and went to the front door and knocked 3 times, and Ms. Kate said “its open”, as the guy entered the house he said “mam, where are you?” “I am in the kitchen” when the guy took 1 step into the kitchen BANG!! Ms. Kate smacked him on the head with a frying pan. As the man got up he was so confused and in pain.
“OWW!!! Why did u hit me!?”
“What did you do to me?!” said Ms. Kate
‘ME!!” said the driver “I didn’t do anything to you”
“Yes you did, you and your stupid nonsense about the Loch Ness Monster, your conversation in that cab boar me to death so much that it made me sleep for over 2 months!! ”
“No mam your wrong it wasn’t me who made you sleep’
“Then what or who was it?!”
“Hmm did u happen to see anything the night I dropped you at your house mam?”
“No, well yes I remember hearing bagpipes and seeing a man standing at the edge of the lake’
“I see, mam not to be personal did you happen to receive any bagpipes today?”
A second later there was a knock at the door.
“Are you expecting anyone?” said the driver.
“Yah, the Easter Bunny and Big Foot” said Ms. Kate in a sarcastic manner.
“Of course I am not expecting anyone man!”
As Ms. Kate went to answer the door something unexpected was waiting for her. She opened the door and laying right in front of her were bag pipes “You have got to be kidding” said Ms. Kate, “I hope you can play bag pipes mam” said the man
“What do you mean?’
“Well rumor has it..’
“Enough with the bloody rumors sir get to the point”
“Ok, ok just calm down mam’
‘Go on”
“Alright I don’t want to alarm you but the piper has chosen you to be the knew player”
“Player? Player for who?’
‘Loch Ness”
“But I don’t want to be the player said Ms. Kate I am already a music teacher in AISC!”
‘Mam you should be honored that the piper chose you to be the knew player”
“Seriously now sir, I am not in the mood right now, I am so close to shoving these pipes somewhere unpleasant for you”
After they finished their conversation Ms. Kate understood what she had to do. She went outside of her house to the edge of the lake blew the bag on the pipes up with air and started playing.
The sound that she produced was so foul and so bad that after only a few moments of playing the piper just emerged out of no where and said ‘STOP!!” when Ms. Kate stopped the piper grabbed the pipes from her and said “sorry lass nothing personal the pipes aren’t for you”. Once the piper said that she ran into her house packed her suitcase rushed out again told the taxi driver to take her to the airport. When she arrived she checked in rushed on the plane five and a half hours or 4 bottles of wine later Ms. Kate arrived in Cyprus.
It was the morning of the 2 of September, yet again when Ms. Kate Jarrold woke up she had the biggest smile on her face and couldn’t help her self and just had to do a victory dance. This time Ms. Kate was full of joy because it was the first day of school. 25 minutes later she was in school waiting for her first class.
It was 8:15 and all the students were there.
“Good morning class welcome back” said Ms. Kate
“Morning Ms” said the class. Then one of the students raised their hand and Ms. Kate called on him
“What did you do over the summer Ms. Kate?” said the student
“Nothing really, mainly was sleeping’
