BARNEY

Barney is my bunny!
This is her first every winter, as I only got her last September.
She is fluffy in the puffy out way, with floppy ears. She’s white with grey splods, and has blue eyes.
Barney lives in a two-story hutch, and has heaps of different toys (My parents spoil her)
Barney is a very expensive rabby and so far has cost me over $450, but I believe its money well spent.
The thing that annoys me most about Barney is that at night she jumps from the top story to the bottom, making this huge crash on the wood that makes it really hard for me to sleep.
My dad acts as though he hates Barney and wants to cook her up in a stew but I know he loves her deep down.
The thing Barney hates most is bath time, she absolutely hates it, she cant stand the water. To keep her soft and fluffy she has to have a bath every 2 weeks. It’s quite funny after because she looks like a drowned rat with really really big feet.
Barney is enjoying autumn; she loves running around in a pile of leaves, and dodging them when they fall off the tree.
This is my bunny Barney she is super friendly and love to have all the attention, but that’s why we love her

something funny that happened in class

It was a day five, that meant my class had science first.
As usual we all lined up and walked in single file. My friend and I sat in seats located to the far left, right next to the periodic table.
The lesson dragged on (we were learning about atoms) and the teacher was using a meter ruler to point things out to answer students questions.
It was half way through the block, There this soft sound of humming in my ears. My guess was because of the rain. It was pouring outside, although the cold had wriggled its self inside permeating the room and everything it contained. Someone behind me asked a question about the different colors of the periodic table.
To answer that question the teacher crossed the room so he could point at the table. (I wasn’t looking; I was scribbling something down of the board)
When the teacher began to answer the question, he jabbed the chart with his meter ruler.
It collapsed. It fell straight down like a leave off a tree in autumn, and as it happens I was underneath.
Luckily my friend saw what was happening and caught it before it torn its self completely from the wall.
It took the teacher, my friend and I almost ten minutes to get the table back on the wall, with all its pins in the right places.
Although having a huge chart crash on top of us defiantly gave us something to laugh about.

Reps

Friday Interval, loud students surrounded us closing us in with help of the dull colored.
It was a sunny day; I was awaiting a fateful txt that would confirm, if I had been selected.
Bouncy, excited energy was pushing against my heart, so hard that it hurt. My stomach held up by a thread that could snap at any moment, the queasy feeling that would follow depended on the content of the message.
BEEP! BEEP!The lifeless tune sounded the arrival of a txt the excited thudding against my heart was getting faster and faster, as I pulled my cell phone out.
The thread snapped!
The pushing against my heart stopped!
All the breath in my body was gone I felt winded.
My finger made its slow movement towards the middle button of my cell.
I was curious did I really want to know what was hidden in the message.
My brain was fighting with itself fear and excited racing all around.
It tried to decide what to do all in a split moment

I pressed the button…….

It was real……
I had made it………
I was in……..

As the fog lifted....I saw a huge towering dome, that made even the largest building look small.The huge thing, made of metal and glass, so opposing, so frightening.If or when you got up the courage to go inside the door was almost impossible to find.Once I found the door, you needed certain identification to get through and into the institute within, this was an easier way for staff to find out which people were in class and who wasn't,I thought as I picked up a brochure.How did I get here I wondered, The last thing I remember before being here was, I was in the girls bathrooms at school with my friends. The next thing I knew the rest of the girls were banging on the door, it seemed that we had been locked in. We left Haley at the door to call for anyone that could help us, while the rest of us looked around for a way out of here, as all the bathrooms seem to smell really bad and have spitballs on the ceilings.Some girls were trying to open the windows, that seemed jammed shut, I didn't have any job so i was running my hand along the walls to see if I would get inspired, but instead I fell through one of them and thats how I got here. Wherever here is.I walked into this huge expanse of space, huge buildings towering over everyoneThe thing that struck me was how everything looked cold, sterile, like even a dirty thought would detain you.Teenagers whizzing by on some sort of hovering contraption, a silver disk they stood on,with handlebars hovering in the cleched hand of the rider.Everything was shiny metal, in the brochure it says that this domeis not just here for looks but it is an all weather environment,to help with less outside distractions to keep the pupils focus solely on their work.I couldn't help but feel nervous at how apposing everything was.As I turned to continue exploring, I saw a group of older boys,hiding under the stairs to a building smoking, thinking they were hidden.All of a sudden a hologram came seemingly out of thin air and surrounded the boys like a tornado.Looks of shock and fright covered the boys faces as they knew they had been caught red handed.As quickly as it had been there it was gone, the bouys were all looking very relieved, and thats when the ground fell from beneath them showing a hole that was so dark it seemed never-ending.Passing the classrooms, the pupils seemed engrosed with what the teacher was telling them, some even leaning or shuffling closer, afraid to miss even one word.As I looked again, I saw something quite strange, there was something wrong about the image I was seeing. The teacher, she seemed to be rippling with the slight breeze coming through the window, it had to be it, I had the best vision out of everyone I know.Yes, I said in my head as I checked again, that has to be it, she's a holo-gram.No one seemed to notice I was there until a strict looking teacher saw me and started walking straight for me. Hair done up in a severe bun on the back of her head, perfect, not a hair out of place, a black high waisted skirt and a white blouse, with high black stiletto heels, clicking along as she walks.I was so scared I froze. Stiff as a bored, too scared to move.Then my brain kicked in, I ran for the closest toilets I had hust walked past.Sprinting in my school shoes was a challenge in itself, I saw her gesture to something, then all of a sudden whirring filled the air, I ran faster knowing this wasn't going to end well.I finally reached it and slammed the door on my persuers, breathing hard, I sat down on one side of the room on a bench attached to the wall wondering what I should do now.I walked around the room dragging my fingers along the walls to try and calm my mind, what was not helping the calming was the constant and loud banging and thudding on the door.I continued to walk round.I tripped on something I hadn't seen, and fell, I put my hand up to catch the wall,But instead of holding myself up I fell straight through, leaving the splintering sound of wood as they had finally broken there way into the bathroom.Peace.Calm.Quiet.

dads reply to my thoughts of the english homework.

As I open the door again comes the triads of yelling daughter to mother. Deliberately I signal my arrival with heavy plods on the stairs quickly wrapping up my conversation with my boss so as not to embarrass either of us. The triads slows and stops as the daughter moves off turning her attention to her sister.
My wife greats me with a pretend “hello dear how was your day?” “not brilliant but better than yours by the sounds” I reply
How about a drink in the spa and a catch up.
She looks longingly in the direction but no’s she must cook tea as the horde have suggested we a staving them.

my friend

We share the same hobbies like shopping and netball, even though we are completely different. You always know if you played well or not because she always says her opinion even is where still on the court.
She always makes sure she is heard even if you don’t know if she is being sarcastic or not.
She turns boring situations into something fun and interesting no matter how evil it maybe.
She is fun and supportive, if your feeling sad, she is determined (like every thing else she puts her mined to) to turn the frown around no matter how long it takes her.
She is always good to be around.

MY DAD

The squeak of the door is the first sign that he is home, and all conversations come to a quick end as you hear the heavy plods of feet slowly dragging themselves up the stairs, you can hear a mumbling of one voice talking as if he had never left work. He wraps up the conversation and swiftly walks towards the phone were he places his mobile upon it to charge, when he turns around mother prepares herself for the night long explanation of who annoyed him throughout the day.

biking accident

Bang!

The shot gun fired and both he and I were caught by the moment of hesitation before we launched over the start line.

I had outstripped him by at least five meters, and was setting course from the downhill slope air was whistling past my ears even though it was a calm day I could ear the hollowly echo sound of the wind passing through me making my baggy clothes billow out like a parachute.

I reached the base of the slope, the force that I had acquired sent me flying , over a small upward hill, as I got higher and higher in to the air, my stomach flipped and I got this queasy feeling in its pit of it. The feeling was incredible I felt so high above every one else.

The flaky rusty bike suddenly jerked downwards and my sweaty palms lost control as it was ripped savagely away.

I hit the ground with a smack and a sharp pain jabbed up my arm it was like thousands of blunt pins being stabbed into one spot.
