Wicked Awesome

Okay so a month and a half ago I was sitting in math class when the announcments came on and it was time for the Mayor's luncheon ( it is every month). The principal started naming off the names of the people starting from first grade and working his way up, I was just waiting because it happened every month. Then I looked over at the teacher and she nodded her head forward and mounthed "you are going", at first I just gave her a confused look and mouthed "me." She nodded yes and then the intercom said Elizabeth Crowley ( except they pronounced it wrong). So I stood up and went to the office where the principal and two police officers were waiting for me. They gave me a nametag and a pin so I hurried and put them on before we were out the door. Sister Welch (my friend's mom her sister was going too) was waiting outside to take our picture. She took our picture and then the principal said "lets go!!", so off we were and the first thing the police officer asked us was "how many times have you guys been in a police car" obviously we all answered "never", and he said "lets keep it that way." So when we were passing by the trees they had just cut down that were on school property, the police officer asked the principal, "so why did they cut down those trees" and I had been thinking the same question. The principal politely answered " they were diseased". So after we had almost gone in a whole circle they parked in the buildin that was right behind our school. Then we all unbuckled and the principal and the officer got out. Then us three kids in the back started to freak out because the doors wouldn't open. But we forgot we were in a police car and that it was a good thing they weren't opening. When we were going inside the pincipal told us that there was a drawing and whoever won it got a free protable DVD player. Then the officer said mor importantly there is free Papa John's pizza and dessert. So we went inside and this lady told us pick a table. So we chose the one on the end. I noticed a girl in my ward sitting at the other table. While we were waiting for all the other schools to come other firemen and police officers came over and talked to us and one was reading our name tags and he came to mine and said "Elizabeth Croowley (in other words he mispronounced my last name)", I answered and said "actually it is Crowley" the principal was more suprised then the fireman. Before we went to get our pop the principal reminded us to be plite and say thank you. So we went got our pop and then it was time for pizza we got called up first and got our pizza and sat down. Everyone else hurriedly started to eat but I just ate slow because I wasn't theat hungry because my regular lunch time wasn't for another twenty minutes. So after lunch and dessert we heard some stories. Then the principal of every school had to go up with one child at a time and say why the child had been chosen to come. When I had to go up there I just smiled and hurridley sat down. Then it was time for the drawing and we all had a ticket with a matching one in the bucket. Then he said okay I have the number it is 66077 (it was exactly the same so far) 3 it was mine. I quickly raised my hand and he said come up here and get your prize. So I did. Then we got to have a picture with all the officers and the mayor and your principal. And the sad thing is I didn't know the mayor was the mayor until I had my picture with him!!!!
