Naughty Story

The thing that worries me the most is getting told off. I take a glimpse at it then realise what I have done. Everything has just exploded inside of me. How will she ever trust me again. She only left for about ten minutes. Why....? My heart beating like I was just in a earthquake.  How am I going to clean this up.   

We'll, it started when I was 10. Yes, last year. "I'm just going to feed the cat at grandmas, then getting some dip for our movie. Oh,  and DONT EAT THE CHIPS" the door slams shut. The creek of the garage door. Sooo slow. The engine blasts in my ear. I stumble outside to greet her off. Yes she is finally gone.

" Boy am I hungry" I sigh then stare at the... No. Mum said no. I start watching a boring documentary about food. Hurry up mum. How long dose it take to feed a cat. I wonder. Dose she take out one biscuit at a time. We'll maybe she couldn't decide what dip to have. Anyway she is taking a long time.  

I creep into the kitchen like a mouse. We'll actually I stomp, trip then flop into the kitchen like a giant, but I survive that bit. I do the laser beam stunt. Yes I acted like a spy or a robber. I consider my self to be more of a robber in this story. I slide on my knees like a guitarist but get Lino burn. There it is. No, eww no, not fish. Blaaahhh. No not broccoli??? Yes thank you. Melt in mouth, rack of rib chips. Mmmmmm my fav. 

My trouble fingers glide across the bowl. I take one and fell like someones watching me. I through it in my mouth then sprint into my room. What I didn't know was that when I turned around my arm wacked the bowl and smashed on the ground. Who cares about the bowl, THE CHIPS!!!

We'll I can't say I did it on purpose, but it wasn't on accident. Oh so confusing. She left me at home, like a starving child. Oh yeah, ummm I forgot to mention that umm, she kinda left a truck load of apples, carrots and fruit. So in reality i wasn't a starving child, but I have already eaten that. 

The broom of the car re-blasts in myh ear and I get a big fright. I sprint out of the kitchen and into my bedroom. The creek of the door opens super fast. Mum walks into the kitchen and her mouth drops to the ground.

Our Time To Shine

Sweat slide down the side of my check as I hear the words come in girls. As we slide into the hall all eyes on us. The scorching sun spews into the room. Blazing straight into my eyes. The music starts and I feel puzzled. What happens  we get to the stage and the song is in the middle of its time?

It all started when mum was late. Time was passing. My hair can't make it self. Waiting out side I finally see her. I yank her out of the car and we dash into the bathroom. Sue ( Niamh's mum ) gives us our costumes. Our look is Si Fie type thing. We got half a mask and decorated it with sparkles.  Mean while mum is just doing the last bit of hair. We rush into the music room, then scurry out. My face redder then a ripe chili. Shaking like crazy I have enough courage to go out there. We get called, "all the way from the other side of the world, please welcome the dancers." We hadn't made up a name for the group yet. There were two sides.

Butterfly's ( nerve wreaking side ) or the fighters ( the confident no butterfly side. ) who's gonna win. Oh butterfly's are down fighters are up oh no fighters are down. Butterfly's win. The point of this fight is that I was super duper nervous.

We scurry on stage. Our jam plays. We haven't even gotten to our destination ( the stage.) I am so confused.  Jade jiggles her head to troy. Hesitating him. Trying to tell him to stop. Nothing. She jiggles her head again.  He stops the music. Then plays it again. I am flooded in sweat right now. Even though I am hotter then egypt we carried on with the dance, got every move correct and I was like a steam room. 







use a range of challenging verbs: Orange

• use the hot words: boiling, sizzling, searing etc.,: Green

select one or two similes: Green

select one or two metaphors or personification: Green

use onomatopoeia to show sounds: Orange

select words that start with the same sound (alliteration): Red

We had to use (See, Hear, Smell, Feel, Taste, Think, Do, Feel, Say) in parts of our story so for see you had to put so etching that you saw and you had to do that for all of the other words.

BUDDY COMMENT: I think you did well at your detail and your boiling hot words but I think you should improve on your main idea like your dance because your are not really putting that much into your story!!!
Buy Your BFF Jade


Comment: I think I was good at using a range of hot words. Mabey next time I could foucuss on using alliteration
