The Robbery by princessci (poetry books to read TXT) 📕

My name is Cacey Sparks, I am a 15 going 16 years old female, growing up in South London. Everyone calls me "Sparks" because of my Sir name. I am very much a Tomboy and so are some of my mates. Let me introduce you to both of my best mates.

First is Samantha, she's a real hard nut (not as much as me though) Samantha is known as "Tight Eyes", she is always giving people dirty looks. Her real name is Tasha, but she is known as "Mini.T" because she is short. Tasha is not one who usually conforms to a usual clichéd female, but she's not as much a tomboy either. All three of us are known as the local trouble makers when we're together.

Now that I have told you about my mates and me, I can tell you what happened, what really happened...

It was just a regular Friday afternoon at school; I was chilling out with Tight Eyes and Mini.T, and a couple of other mates. We were all minding our own business, and then I see Paige Burton walking towards us. Her face looked angry as always. She always wants to act like the big girl in school. As she was walking down towards us, she was screwing me also she was shouting and raining curses at me. I couldn't believe my ears. So I and my girls walked towards her. There we were all of us, just standing calmly waiting for Paige's next big move. Instead, there she was looking up at me, and pushing up her flat chest to me, cursing. Then she finally had the guts to give me a punch, (which to me felt more like a little pat). With all my strength I pushed that little Paige Burton to the ground, by this time, there was a huge crowd gathered around us chanting like a pack of hyenas. I didn’t mean it but I gave her a punch in her stomach. I didn't want to hurt her too much because she is no competition to me, moreover, she’s fragile. So after that I left her. Most of the little year 7 and 8's were recording it on their phones.

After school, there was a rumour going around that Paige Burton, phoned some people to get me, Mini.T and Tight Eyes. So us three were heading towards the school gate, until we saw about five much larger girls hanging outside the school … they saw us too. One of them asked Tight Eyes if she knew a girl called Paige. But Tight Eyes shook her head, these girls were waiting for Paige, so she could point out who we were. So we just carried on our way home.

That evening I couldn't stop thinking about that Paige Burton and how she tried to set us up. All I kept thinking about was stabbing her profusely until the blood sputtered out from her very neck until she no longer breathed… I don't know why it just aroused in my thoughts.I phoned Tight Eyes, she would know what to do with Paige she always does. She thought of a great idea - to get Mini.T to phone Paige's cousin - Dorothy, Mini.T always gets things out of her.

What Dorothy told us was that Paige and her family are going away for the weekend, and won't be back until Sunday evening. But we told Dorothy not to utter any words about our “little” conversation with her, so Dorothy didn't know anything about us planning to break into Paige's house that night.

Walking calmly on the streets, on my way to meet Mini.T and Tight Eyes at 11:30pm at the top of Paige's road a few nerves were running astray from my innate self. I saw them both and we were all starting to prepare ourselves for what was to happen. Wearing black warm soft clenching gloves; matching hats; coats; bottoms; trainers and even black socks, we were wearing clothes which will not stand out in the blackening scenery. The robbery was about to begin.

We waited for a couple of moments, making sure that no one was watching us or if anyone was about, anyway it was a sinister and gloomy sight, fortunately that was a good thing for us. As we stood outside the front door , the sharp wind slices through my pale skin, so the thought of getting in the house kept riding in our teenage minds, we have to be careful, precise, no noise, no sound just perfect silence. Mini.T got out a weird looking, sharp object from her pocket, it was definitely not a key, but whatever it was, got the front door open.

Finally we were inside, Tight Eyes headed straight to the fridge, which I knew she would, me and Mini.T walked up the stairs trying to be as quiet as possible. I opened the door, I couldn't see much but there was some moon light shining in from a little gap in the curtains, so I walked over and closed them properly. The place looked tidy and very posh; there was a dressing table with boxes and perfumes on it. I flicked my torch on, and walked over to a jewellery box, opened it and took a hand full of shining, gold jewellery and put it all in my bag. I wasn’t feeling guilty at this point; I made sure I didn’t miss a few.

Nearly falling over because of a loud bang! Coming from out in the landing, I rushed to see what was going on. I saw Tight Eyes standing there and Mini.T. Looking down at Tight Eyes feet, I saw that her bag was full of money. I was shocked but at the same time very happy, we were all happy. I showed them both the jewellery I found. We were fully satisfied with the objects that we had taken.

Now just before we left we had to do one more thing... Wreck the whole house. We broke electronics, left the taps running, broke chains, smashed pictures, tore up clothes, splattered food everywhere and vandalised all over the walls, we left that house looking like a bomb had exploded in there! We wanted to give them a surprise but I wasn’t fully satisfies with the extents that we went to. I had to do more, she deserves this. So I went to the room that looks like it would belong to her, I went in carefully inhaling the atmosphere of the room around me. I went straight to her TV and smashed it. I looked at the ruins that lay before me and thought for a second…revenge is sweet.

Eventually, we left the house through the back door. Tight eyes ran out first but just before she did, I jumped on her and wrestled her to the ground. She started shouting but I shut her up. We lay on the grass as I pointed the neighbour looking out of the window. We lay there for a few seconds until the neighbour went back in. we got up and ran. It was a close shave. We arrived at my place by 2am, we were shattered. No one was at home because my mum works late and I don't live with my dad, so it was just me and the girls.

Sunday morning came; we didn't wake up until 12pm. Well, Mini.T was awake and made us all some food, she also told me that my mum went out shopping, and will be back soon. I thought about the events of last night and the risks we put ourselves through. It seemed worth it as I looked at the things we stole. We spent the day at home feeling proud, thinking about the shock Paige and her family are going to get, and also feeling worried, just because of the fact that we actually robbed and broke into their house. However, the question of whether she deserved this rushed through my mind all day. I mean we beat her up… wasn’t that enough for her already. Did she really deserve this?

Tight Eyes and Mini.T were staying round mine again. At exactly 11:02pm, the doorbell rang while we, my Mum and the girls were watching a scary film. So I hopped up to get the door with a bowl of sweet popcorn in my hands. My eyes froze, the bowl of popcorn smashed to pieces on the floor, my whole body shaking and filled with panic, (this all happened in the space of 1 second), as I saw the police at my door, all the events of the robbery flashed through my head. I opened the door in defeat knowing that there was nothing to lose and we had no hope of defeat.

So, that’s what happened, and that is why I am here, all alone, sitting in a cold, damp cell, crying my eyes out, and I never thought I would in my whole life. I’m sitting here wondering where Mini.T and Tight Eyes are and thinking about how my life is going to change from now.
