Uptown

  Amy Sim

  I hated my mum and stepdad! They were too protective of me! They wouldn’t let me go anywhere, all I was allowed to do was sit in the house and watch telly. Well one night, I showed them, one night I showed them I wasn’t a little girl anymore.

  I was getting changed ready to go out I put on my best partying clothes and went to a nightclub, all by myself with no one there to protect me.

  I wasn’t scared, I could do this. At least, I thought I could. I heard of people at clubs who had been rushed to hospital because of drug overdoses or people being drunk. I have never took a drink in my life, I mean me Cassia Parks the girl who never had a laugh.

  Although I supposed I shouldn’t have gone near a drink as I was only 15. At school I got called a weirdo. I mean I didn’t look like other girls, purple hair, blue eyes, normal height, and annoying parents. I was pretty normal apart from the purple hair. My mum always told me not to judge a book by its cover; I guess the other kids didn’t listen to that saying.

  I was walking down Anderson drive and went through the alleyway. I saw the club ‘The Style’ I spotted Robyn the most popular girl in second year. To be honest I didn’t see why she was, well she was pretty but ….She walked towards me as if they smelled something funny.

  I didn’t like the look on Robyn’s face, she looked at me like I was animal. I couldn’t bear it! I flew round the corner to find a group of boys about the age of 18. They shouted at me and made a rude gesture.

  I felt tears in my eyes as I walked round the back of the club, at least no one was there. I sat on the pavement and cried. I said to myself ‘if only I tried to fit in, I could’ve been popular.’ But then it didn’t seem possible. I took a deep breath and went through the back door. It was exactly what I expected. The lights were colourful, people were dancing and there was a dance floor. I decided to go to the bar and get a drink ‘Fanta’ I demanded.

  ‘Coming right up’ the man replied. I sat on the chair and took my drink. ‘Ughh!’ I shrieked. That didn’t taste like Fanta. I decided to leave, I had enough. I just wished I was back home, in my cosy bed with my mum and stepdad.

  I realised what I had done, I walked outside and down the alleyway. I felt alone and cold, as I walked past a man with black trousers and a blue jacket. He looked at me and grabbed me, to fling me at the wall. He went into his pocket and grabbed a knife.

  I was alone. bleeding, drifting away.

  Alone At Home

  Louise Smith

  Lilly is a 13 year old girl with long red hair and bright blue eyes. Lilly was in the house alone with Coco her small fluffy white dog. Coco is Lilly’s best friend. Lilly was just home from school when she got a phone call from her mum. Lilly’s mum said she be home by nine o’clock.

  Lilly started to put some make up on and started to do her hair. Just then Lilly’s phone started to ring but this time it wasn’t her mum it was a man. The man screamed “I’m coming to get you!”

  “Who is this?” asked Lilly

  The man only yelled “Why do you care?”

  Lilly ended the call.

  It started to rain and was dark and gloomy outside. It was now ten o’clock Lilly’s mum was still not back. Lilly was getting upset and she very up worried about her mum. Lilly jumped on the sofa holding Coco in her arms. The time was ticking on it was now 12 o’clock.

  At 12:30 there was an enormous bang coming from outside the house. What is that yelled Lilly. It stopped and started again. Lilly walked to the door with Coco tight in her arms. Something moved outside. Lilly bolted up the stairs and ran in to her room. Lilly jumped in her bed and pulled her purple covers over her head. “Coco something was moving”. Lilly’s eyes filled up with tears. “I wish mum was here” The bang started again this time it never stopped.

  Lilly was terrified. Lilly started to cry. She jumped out her bed and walked down the stairs with Coco in her arms. She had Coco in her purple fluffy cover. When they jumped on the sofa and put the cover over them.

  A voice was coming from the hall saying “I am going to get you!”

  More tears came from Lilly’s eyes. Coco barked, the voice was getting closer. It was now 2 o’clock and Lilly’s mum was still not home. Lilly’s phone started to ring.

  “Hello mum!” said Lilly

  “Hello Lilly! I’m sorry I am not home yet, I hope everything is ok! Bye Lilly! Love and miss you!”

  Lilly didn’t get a chance to reply.

  The bang stopped and everything stopped moving Lilly put the light on. “Coco it’s stopped!” “We are safe!”

  Lilly put the telly on. All a sudden the bang started again. It was a man. He was all in black and he had bright red eyes. He was looking the window. “HELP!” yelled Lilly.

  The bang got closer. Lilly burst into tears. She gave Coco a huge hug and said “I hope we will be ok” Coco. “I miss mum lots”

  All a sudden the door opened and there was a power cut.

  “Coco!” screamed Lilly, as the dog jumped out of Lilly’s arms to go and see what it was.

  Coco barked. Lilly could hear the bark fading away. The door shut then the light came back on. Coco had gone. Lilly could not find him anywhere…..

  Spy Monkey

  Daniel Souness

  It was Friday. I was just sitting bored in my old dusty cage. I looked over and the pet store owner was sleeping. I whispered to the goldfish “I’m getting out of here” and he bubbled back. I picked the lock on my cage and climbed out the window. It was getting really dark so I climbed up a tree and slept there.

  Then when I woke up I started to walk down the path. Suddenly I could hear lots of cars going past. It was really busy. In the corner of my eye I saw a shop that had a fruit stand. I crossed the road and went in the shop and showed the shopkeeper a picture of a hungry monkey. He followed me to the fruit stand and gave me a couple of bananas. “I like bananas.” I started to walk down the path again. There was a park. A boy walked over to me and picked me up.

  “What’s your name?”

  He took me home and showed his mum. “Cute monkey” Then I followed him upstairs and we went in the room.

  In the corner of my eyes I saw SEARGENT D.O.G Caspar my arch enemy lurking in the corner. It leaped over towards the door and squashed me. I pushed it away then the dog scratched me. I was lucky because when he scratched me the boy walked in the room. He took Caspar downstairs and locked him out in the garden. The next morning he was nice to me and he promised never to do something bad again.

  Crystal Ice Palace

  Blinera Statovci

  One wonderful morning a dame called Jane with silk brown hair gazed through her palace window. Meanwhile her pet dog Olivia was playing with her toy bone, but then started barking at something. It was her enemies, Andrea, Kate and Megan! The 3 girls started to call Jane names, Jane was feeling very upset, but in a couple of minutes the 3 girls went away giggling.

  The next morning it happened again the girls started to call her names and Jane had enough. “It’s time I ran away from these girls!” So when it was night Jane packed up her things then she tip-toed down the stairs and swiftly went past the royal guards.

  It was 9:00 AM, everyone in the palace was noticing something strange “Something’s not right but I don’t know what” one of the princesses sister said. The queen went up the stairs and went to see Jane but when she entered her room she wasn’t there.

  “AHHHHHH, WHERE’S JANE?!!!” She cried. Meanwhile the king heard the queen and went upstairs to see what was going on.

  The king walked into Jane’s room and saw the queen crying. “What’s wrong? Where’s Jane?” the king asked.

  “She’s GONE!” the queen said. The king was devastated. He ordered the knights to search for her.

  Meanwhile Jane and Olivia were walking down the path and just then Jane and Olivia suddenly stopped. “WOW!” Jane gasped, “I never saw these kinds of animals before!” Jane saw a village nearby and a hotel.
“Maybe I will stay here for the night” Jane said to herself.

  When Jane was walking towards the hotel in the village a middle aged woman came out of nowhere. “Hello” the woman said.

  “I’m called Julia”. Jane was surprised. “So then, where did you come from young lady?” Julia asked.

  “I come from a land named Crystal Palace” Jane replied. “Why is a beautiful young lady like you wandering around here on your own?” Julia replied.

  “Well it’s a pretty long story, let’s go and sit on the bench over there and I will tell, you about it” suggested Julia.

  Julia replied. “Okay”

  “Well it all started when I was a young girl, when I was 6 years old and went into school, I was only little so I was quite scared. So when I first went to school I met some very nice people. I became very good friends with them, but when I grew up these mean girls called Andrea, Kate and Megan had moved school and now they’re here. They started to bully other people and I hated it so much. And when I always go home they follow me without me knowing. And that’s the whole story”

  “Wow what a story!” Julia said.

  Just then Jane’s sister Gloria saw a village she noticed that Jane was there! Gloria walked over to Jane and said “Jane is that you!?” “Gloria!” “Jane!” and they hugged each other in happiness and went home.
