Christopher Boone Short Story

Improved Essays
I am Christopher John Francis Boone. It is in the afternoon at 3:07 p.m. I have 3 dollars in my right hand. I am trying to cross the street to the ice cream store to get that delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream sundae. At 3:09 many kids around my age came out of that school-like building. One girl was texting on her phone and had a happy face. I know that means happy. One boy that looked younger than me bumped into me and said sorry. I said nothing. The light was green. So I walked to the other sidewalk. I know I’m supposed be at home but I really wanted to eat the ice cream from this store. There were this group of tall students with the same uniform.

Some had hats, and some had headphones on. I wanted to get my ice cream sundae fast so I ignored everyone and speed walked. On the building it said Palumbo which is the name of the school. I kept walking to the another block and saw a bunch of people. There was this guy that had a speaker and had put loud pop music on. It was pretty catchy but I didn’t know what they were saying. It was speaking so fast it sounded like it was twice as fast. I walked a bit more and saw the whole park with trees and benches and pigeons looking for someone that would give them food.

I gave the muffin little by little to the little and the big pigeons. Some were brown and tiny and some were big and grey. I only wanted to feed the little brown ones but mostly the big grey ones came. So I scared them away but I scared the tiny little brown ones too. So I waited for both kinds to come and fed them. My muffin was gone in 30 seconds but I felt proud because I did a good deed, right? Good things happen to good people, that’s what my mom taught me. I was happy and strolled down to the ice cream shop and went home with an empty cup and spoon. I was very happy that
