Chapter 2: sleepover time!
Honey Today is Monday and it's Honey's house this time. I have a feeling that is quite annoyed of me being her friend because in kindy Honey was bff with Collie until i came and Honey got a big fight with Collie about not wanting to be friends with me so now me and Collie are bff and she just is a
friend. Anyway, on Tuesday morning we walk to school together so, now you know the routine it's time sleepover and girl drama! Me and Collie wait for
Honey to come out of the classroom. When were all set we started walking down to Honey's house like every Monday afternoon.
"Wow! wasn't sitting with the popular girls so cool?" exclaimed Honey jumping up and down. Collie just nodded and held my hand tight. I knew she didn't
want to upset me.
"Yeah, and heaps of fun for me, huh?" i mumbled
"Well, just because other people are having fun you don't-" Honey yelled and looked at Collie angrilly who interrupted
"Look! no more fights, soon we won't even be friends anymore if we keep fighting like this, let me put this straight" Collie said
"be fair, right?" i asked
"just quickly go..." Honey said annoyed
"Well, first there is nothing really special about sitting with the P girls and making a friend feel bad" Collie contiued staring at Honey
"Ha ha!" I teased
"AND!" Collie said staring at me "for bragging and looking miserable"
"Ha ha!" Honey teased
"Peeps!, just stop! i'm getting really annoyed! no more fighting and teasing at each other, understand?" Collie smiled firmly
We both nodded. We walked a little while longer untill we reached a yellow-bricked, two-story house with a polished white roof. Everything was beautiful
and clean just like Honey. Mrs Hillson, age 32 walked out of the house
In a Sunday flower dress with Blonde, long, curly hair tied in a pony tail. “Looks like 6 layers of gloss on the mama!” Collie whispered making sure Honey didn’t hear. I quietly laughed back to my friend who had dark brown, straight hair and me, ginger hair though my hair was just cut so now it’s a bit longer than my ears. I had curly hair but I hated it because it always gets stuck in knots so my mum straightened it. By looking at Honey’s mum I can see she cares about appearance too. We walked into the polished hall, we quickly dumped our bags by the door and skipped up the twisting layers of stairs. Honey’s family were rich, Mrs Hillson is a lawyer and Mr Hillson is a high-experienced Doctor. Honey’s big brother, Jake Hillson is in extension class in year ten at Marvelled boys high. Honey, she is the teachers pet, and best of the class of maths, English and writing and especially art, dance and gym. I never could believe there is a family so perfect and stable. I actually secretly wish I was Honey and I was the best at everything! Honey is even the fastest of our school it’s like she has no weak points. We opened the door of Honey’s cute room. She’s got a watermelon bed which must cost about a thousand! She has pink wallpaper and a snowflake light. A cute Chihuahua called Snowball and a clean bookshelf for books, costumes and more.
“So… here are the options. Chat, spy on Jack, watch a movie or go to the backyard and jump on the trampoline and maybe have a swim in the pool” Honey said rubbing her hands together.
“I would just chat, that could be fun” Collie suggested
“I think the movie would do!” I smiled
“I want some revenge on Jake for spying on me with his friends!” Honey complained
“okay, I agree on that! I would do anything to help my friend” I smiled at Honey
“Really?, even after our fight? Well…thanks!” Honey said surprised
“And I will do anything to let you two come back to friends” Collie said.
We walked quietly to Jake’s room. It was so different because I have never really been to his room as it was always locked but right now Jake was downstairs getting a drink and left the door open as we looked at the KEEP OUT sign and the weird pictures on the door. As we walked in everything was so different to Honey’s. The wallpaper was black with posters of punk bands , a normal bed with guitar blankets and pillows, a desk with files, papers everywhere (messy, unlike Honey’s) with a computer placed in the middle. We quickly hid under the bed as Honey pulled out her lipstick recorder and whispered “Were going to record everything he says especially when we crawl out of the bed and he yells at us, then I can show mummy and daddy how mean he is to me and my friends, oh and someone got a video camera?”
“I have one!” whispered Collie as she pulled it out
“okay so you don’t crawl out with us, you video everything!” Honey giggled as the plan was on. I am really starting to like this Honey. She seems all funny, nice and just what a friend should be like. BANG! Jake closed the door as Collie started videoing and Honey started recording and put the lipstick in her pocket so it was unseeable.
“oh yeah, oh yeah, go me, go me that stupid Honey who got tricked by my mates and me, ha! What a day!” Jake, the light brown haired boy laughed to himself.
“Oh, really?” Honey said pulling me up and signalling Collie to keep videoing.
“AHH! What in the world are you and your pesky friend doing in my room?!” Jake shouted
“Did we scare you, little Jake?” Honey said sarcastically
“Did we?” I followed
“Yeah whatever, so you two clearly didn’t see the KEEP OUT sign, huh?” Jake laughed
Suddenly Honey winked to me and collapsed to the ground.
“but I’m your sister and we were just playing hide and seek with you” Honey cried (fake)
“oh come on, Honey your such a cry baby, hello? Your in year 5 not year 1 or something?” Jake said
“but I love you as a brother!” Honey cried
“yeah, okay whatever now get out of here you two freaks!” Jake yelled
Suddenly Honey reached out of pocket and stopped the recorder as I signalled Collie and she stopped videoing and all laughed
“another girl? Hiding under my bed?” Jake said confused while seeing Collie crawling out.
“CUT!” yelled Honey as we showed Jake the camera and the recorder.
“Whoa!, why did you do that?” Jake said trying to snatch them off. Too late Collie, Honey and I had already ran down the stairs and showed it to mum. She was not impressed and she called Jake over and shouted at him for a long 5 minutes and gave us each a piece of sponge cake and leaving Jake with nothing.
“OMG! It’s like nearly 9” screamed Collie
“yeah, so what?” replied Honey carelessly
“well, isn’t that a bit too late?” asked Collie
“not if it’s sleepover day, right?” Honey smiled
“you know, your so different this afternoon, all cherry, not complaining” I said
“I know…I just think it’s really cool to have you guys on my side…like real friends…not how Rosella treats me” Honey said sadly
“did Rosella say something that hurt your feeling?” I asked
“no, it’s just that she’s always the boss and here…we’re all in this together” Honey smiled
“movie?” I said cheering Honey up
“oh yes! I brought some really cool DVD’s to watch you will love them!” Honey beamed
“what are they?” Collie asked eagerly
“Princess detectives!” shouted Honey
“Omigosh!” yelled Collie
“no way!” I screamed. Princess detectives is like the newest, girlish movie, people say it’s the bling! And I am going to watch it! Best of all, with my best friends.
“but…” Honey said slowly
“WHAT!” me and Collie said at the same time
“but we have to change into our PJ’s and get some snacks, right?” Honey giggled as we all rushed into the bathroom and got changed. Collie picked a cup of orange juice and three fairy biscuits, Honey picked 2 honey flavoured lollies made by Mrs Hillson especially for Honey and finally I choose some dairy milk chocolate and two strawberries. We lunged on the watermelon bed with Snowball at the front as we began watching. Wow! I can’t believe the three princesses are that brave to stand up to the evil queen. It reminded me of me and my friends and if we could stand up to Rosella. I looked at Honey and Collie and they grinned as if they were thinking the same. What if we really could stand up to the meanest, richest (even more richer than Honey) girl in the school. What if we can! I am determined to go to school tomorrow and show my princess power to Rosella if she ever tries to separate me and my friends.
“Girls?” Mrs Hillson knocked on the door
“WHAT?!” We shouted at the same time
“It’s 10:56 and it’s nearly 11, now I don’t want you 3 staying awake the whole night so turn off the movie and get in bed
“first, we already are in bed. Second the movie is half-finished and third, it is at the most important part of the movie” Honey argued
“why I have never ever heard you argue to me that! You 3 will go to bed this instant and if I hear even a small sound of whispering from you 3 it’s not going to be pretty, now sleep tight don’t let the bed bugs bite” Mrs Hillson roared and stomped away
“what’s with the bed bug thingy?” Collie whispered
“well, that’s my mum she said that every night to keep me laughing thought it’s not working” Honey whispered back and we laughed
“did I just hear some giggling? No more of that!” boomed Mrs Hillson’s voice from down stairs. But we continued. We weren’t even scared, we all knew Mrs Hillson was the nicest woman in the world and only says things that might make you think she’s really angry.
“Why isn’t your dad home?” I asked
“These days he got moved to a extension manager and he’s really busy, he comes home around 12!” exclaimed Honey quietly
“whoa! Don’t you miss him?” Collie asked
“a bit, but I know that this job means a lot to him, the sad thing is that every morning he has to get to work at 6 and sometimes on the weekends he gets called away and I hardly get to see him” Honey said sadly
“but I remember you saying that your mum is a lawyer and if there is no case she’s normally home, right? And if there is a case it would only take a few hours of the day and she’d be back at home and ready to pick you from school” I said
“yeah, so I guess I not that sad…” Honey smiled
Collie yawned and closed her eyes. Her beautiful long lashes floating above her light, brown, golden hair messed up behind. I looked over to Honey her blond hair flowing neatly under her ears, her lips as pink as a flower and of course the smile, a smile that could light up the whole town with brightness. I have never seen Honey so peaceful and happy as she normally was grumpy and bossy. Now she’s like the opposite. Me. Dark brown hair. Green, emerald eyes. Short lashes, unlike Honey’s and Collie’s and short, straight hair unlike Honey’s and collie‘s. Ashley, Collie and Honey. What a match…tomorrow will be school…
Chapter 3: Talent show news
Okay it’s morning as Honey, Collie and I walked down stairs to greet Mrs Hillson.
“Okay girls, rise and shine what would you like for breakfast?” Mrs Hillson smiled. Apart from being so nice and sweet Mrs Hillson is the best cook in the town, she’s won awards, participated in Master chief and has a kitchen that has everything.
“bread with butter” Honey yawned
“same” Collie said blinking her eyes sleepily
“2 choc-chip cookies and a cup of milk, please” I said lying down on Collies should trying to sleep
“Okay there you go, now eat quickly because it’s nearly 9 and that’s when you girls start school and you don’t want to be late, do you?” Mrs Hillson said as she gave us our breakfast. We got onto Mrs Hillson’s beautiful, creamy-coloured car.
“bye girls, have a lovely day, make sure nothing is in your way!” laughed Mrs Hillson as she drove off
“what’s with the rhyme?” I laughed
“well my mum’s fond of writing, she’s best at it!” Honey smiled
Emma and Summer Shoal giggled and laughed and walked past us.
“what’s wrong with them” whispered Collie
“well it looks like this year’s talent show is coming up and everyone is excited because the prize is to become vice captain for next year and there going to chose a boy and a girl from different groups” replied Stella Osborne
“but aren’t we doing we doing speeches to let the students vote?” I asked
“that’s only for school captain but this is for vice” Summer Shoal said as she turned back
“The whole school is buzzing!” said Summer’s twin sister, Emma Shoal
“Well does any of you want to try out?” I asked
Collie shook her head. So did Honey.
“Why? Don’t any of you want to be vice caption next year?” I complained
“It’s probably because Rosella Sharp is entering” Stella said with her head down
“So? It’s not like Rosella is taking over the school and that she will win?!” I exclaimed
“So? It’s not just a ‘so’ how can you think that? Rosella wins every year if you haven’t noticed but me and Emma are trying out just in case” Summer said
“well I know that I might be a bit of a stage fright but if we do it in a group we might win and I don’t have to be scared of a live audience watching me” I panicked
“hello? Do you know the rules of this year’s talent show?” Emma```` asked
“no, but I’m sure it hasn’t changed…right?” I mumbled
“well it has changed, only one person can do one show or how are they going to pick from a group? Don’t you think?” Summer said
“well… why does everything have to change?” I stumbled on confused
“dunno” Summer replied
“no idea” Emma said rubbing her head
“no clue…” Stella smiled and walked off with her black hair trailing behind
“well, bye dudes see you guys later” Emma and summer waved bye and their light brown hair tied in 2 pigtails seemed to wave in the wind as if saying goodbye.
“so…are you guys doing it?” I asked again
“come on, you know that we are not doing it” Collie smiled
“come on CC!” Honey bragged
“you doing it?!” I asked, half-excited
“yes I am” Honey said proudly which reminded me of Princess detectives as the 3 princesses thought about joining teams. It’s like that we are agreeing to take Rosella down. No matter how rich she is, how mean she is and how good she is we are going to take her down! And I know that we will, 100% sure.
Finally Collie nodded and the 3 of us screamed and jumped like some crazy hippos. Even my crush, Scott Saunders looked at me weirdly but I didn’t care because this was like the moment when the princesses joined a team and when they were celebrating and made everything messy but they didn’t care.
RRRRIIIIINNNNNNNNGGG!!!!!!!! The school rang as we ran up to our class and me and Collie said bye to Honey.
“sorry Miss Penny are we late?” Collie asked reaching for breath
“why yes you are but never mind, just in time to mark the roll so you two don’t need to go down to the office and get a late note which is very tiring” Miss Penny smiled at the two breathless girls.
“Okay I suppose that the breaking news at school is the talent show and I suppose you all know about it and the rules?” Miss Penny asked the us
“yes” we chanted back
“oh goody! Well I believe that heaps of you are trying out, am I correct?”
Very few hands were up.
“Well I dare say that there is hardly any of you trying out, 1,2,3...8,9. Only 9 people, how amusing…” Miss Penny said while looking at the class. Then Collie and me put our hands up and I saw Rosella stare back at me in an icy way but I as I thought what Mrs Hillson said ‘have a lovely day, don’t let things in your way’ well something like that but I will not put my hand down and I raised it a bit higher and smiled.
“11 people, that seems alright because last year there was like the whole
class” smiled Miss Penny as the class continued.
“Can anyone give me some ideas what you are doing for the talent show?” asked Miss Penny. A few hands reached up. “yes, Kathy”
“I was thinking of playing a solo on the piano down at the hall”
“very good!, tiffany mills?”
“I…want to do a joke!” she laughed crazily with boga on the side of her cheek
“okay… I guess that’s fine, Elise?”
“Maybe do a dance to the music”
‘excellent!, scarlet?”
“I think I’ll sing’
“oh and Rosella?”
“well miss, I am singing too ”
“okay looks like most of you are ready to go, oh can I see Collie claries and Ashley Bailey at lunch please” Miss penny smiled
“looks like someone in trouble…” Rosella snickered at me
“Well who knows? It might be for something good like a lucky dip?” I said standing up for myself”
“Really? I don’t think so, more like Miss penny would do that in front of the whole class, remember?”
“right… but anyway, she smiled at us”
“you think your so smart” Rosella stared at me than flicked her precious hair in my face. I hate having her in front of me why couldn’t Miss penny move her somewhere else to sit, whenever she gets a chance to tease me down and make me feel guilty, she always wins. I cannot ever win, I always end saying: right… or but it be this or your right. I just hate her completely! I know that she doesn’t have a heart and even if she does her heart would be black and icy cold, pretty on the outside but ugly in the inside. RRIINNNGGG!!!!!!!
Chapter 4: PE trouble
 The lunch bell rang through Rose Bay, Collie and i waited in front of Miss penny’s desk. Miss penny was writing in her work diary like nothing has happened. Then finally, she looked up.
“Well girls you better turn that frown upside down” She smiled
“you mean we’re not in trouble?” Collie said surprised
“why when did you two think you were in trouble?” asked Miss penny
“since Rosella said that we were” I replied
“oh girls, your not kindergarten alright you are bright year 5 girls and you make your mind, not others”Miss penny laughed
“tell her that” I frowned
“Ash? Don’t be rude to Rosella!” Collie said
“what?! You go for her? Can’t you remember all those things she did to us!” I argued
“enough girls! I will tell Rosella to be a bit careful in her actions, happy?” Miss penny said breaking up the fight. “Now the reason I brought you two here was to discuss what I could do for the class like have maybe a behaviour chart or a jar where if your good you put marbles in and when its full there’s a movie or something. So I thought you two are both very creative so you could help me”
“um… I like that behaviour chart idea…” Collie said thinking
“oh! I got a idea! Maybe each of us can have cash and we could maybe use the cash to get prizes, like for example: if your good you get 1 dollar well it must be fake, of course and if your not you can take away one” I gasped
“whoa! Slow down, but hey not a bad idea, actually the best! I will give you one cash to start with, Ashley! I have got heaps of monopoly cash in my bag, I just brought the game yesterday! Now you two can go to lunch, still got 20 mins left” Miss Penny smiled
“Oh and isn’t it sport after?” Collie asked
“spot on, girl looks like tiffiny wore the wrong uniform today its supposed to be sport, a white t-shirt with our school logo at the top right-handed corner and a red skirt or tights, looks like you are doing I’m the best of all the rest handstand game… and your two wore dresses don’t you mind your underwear?” Miss penny smiled
“shorts underneath!” we both shouted laughing
“I thought so! Now quickly go to lunch as Mrs Graver, the PE teacher wouldn’t like you late” Miss penny laughed
“anyway we both are really good at handstands!” Collie giggled
“I hope!” Miss penny said waving the two girls goodbye! Collie and me walked down the hallway. RRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!
Collie and i ran up to Mrs Graver, a red haired woman up to her ears. Collie, i and Honey loved PE and also loved the funky PE teacher, Mrs Graver. At PE Honey’s class and our class join.
‘Hello folks!” grinned the teacher
“hello crazy folk!” we yelled back
We always did that little chant at the beginning of PE. Mrs Graver is my favourite teacher apart from Miss penny. Miss Rose is quite nice she teaches year 4 and I love Mrs Jade, the dance group teacher/ year 2 teacher. Miss Peach the Liberian is lovely really lovely, Mr Harrison is really funny, I had him in year 3. But Mr Leech is full of evilness, well that’s what everyone saids. Mr Green, quite a old fellow and some support unit teachers. Finally we have our principal, Mr Franklin.
“Today we are going to do some gymnastics and for the following few weeks.”
“yah” Rosella and her group of friends giggle
“what are you so happy about?” Mrs Graver laughed
“Well…” Rosella smiled and got up trying to show off “we play ‘I’m the best of all the rest’ at recess and lunch and we all are really good at gymnastics like we can do a walkover, well I can not them, I can do a walking handstand and etc”
“thank you for your explanation of the skills you have Miss Sharpe, oh and how exiting we are just about to play that game but in a different way, like if you don’t make it in the finals that means you are out of the game completely! Now Rosella why don’t you start, oh show us your best handstand before, please” Mrs Graver said
“very well!” Rosella said pleased. She went into a handstand and held it there…1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds, 7seconds…15 seconds, 16 seconds . Rosella started wobbling and then turned the handstand into a walkover.
“well done! Please start Miss Sharpe!” Mrs Graver said pleased. Rosella stood in the middle of us. I was ready, I’m actually pretty good at handstands.
“I’m the best of all the rest” Rosella brushed her hair
“no your not!” we chanted
“prove it” she replied
We all did ours as Honey and Kathy were the longest. The P girls came second and Collie and me came third. The others were close unlike Tiffany who tripped over and didn’t even do one. Kathy and Honey tied so they did it again. Collie and I got disqualified in the next round so we just sat and talked.
“Honestly, Kathy is really good at handstands, music (she plays the drum in the highest group of the band), gymnastics, dancing (in dance group) singing (In Australian girls choir), swimming (always 1st place), kindness (nice to everybody), pretty (been on TV several times), popular (is a P girl) and so much more!” I tell Collie
“yeah but she’s a P girl, Ashley! How do you know she’s not mean like every other P girl” Collie asked
“because she’s different, she’s my friend!” I whispered
“you never mentioned that?” Collie said
“I know I forgot to tell you, but she’s really nice, trust me!” I say
“I don’t know… P girls are just mean and selfish, why would you like Kathy bells?” Collie asked confused “she’s perfect, pretty, popular. She has 3 P’s like every other P girl”
“how did you know that?” I wondered
“Rosella told me. She said to be a P girl you have to be pretty, popular, perfect and to make everything you do perfection. Isn’t Kathy one of them?” Collie argued
“look I can talk to her if you want…” I asked
“look Ashley, just don’t turn into one of them…” Collie pleaded
“Collie?! What makes you think that? Has Kathy teased you?’
“no”
“have you seen Kathy tease anyone?’
“no”
“do you have any evidence that she’s obsessed with Rosella?”
“yes, she’s a P girl”
“no! rosella picked her!” I shouted and dragged her to Kathy who was giving flowers to Mrs Graver.
“hey kate!” I smiled
“kate?” Collie looked annoyed
“she said that I could call her that” I said
“what’s up?” Kathy smiled
“oh I just came here to prove to my friend, Collie that your different to the other P girls”
“oh does she think I’m mean and selfish like the others?” Kathy asked crossing her arms.
“yeah I do! So what?” Collie said being rude
“collie? What’s gone into you?” I shouted at collie
“nothing…” collie said angrily and left
Kathy started walking away.
“wait, Kathy!” I shouted
“what?” Kathy answered quietly
“please stay…” I begged
“why should I? When you have been talking behind my back?” she mumbled
“I was telling collie how amazing you are…” I said but then realized that Kathy had already left.
Chapter 5: The shady tree
“hey girlfriend!” Honey bumped into me “ guess what? I won 3 rounds but Kathy was better she won 5- what’s wrong?” Honey slowed down.
“well it’s just that me and collie had a fight…and with Kathy is well” I mumbled
“wait Kathy she’s a P girl, pretty, popular and perfect. How can you make friends with her?” Honey asked
“well Kathy’s different! She’s my friend! And so what if she’s perfect and pretty, she’s nice! And I lost her, anyway you are the one that was obsessed with the P girls, right?” I shouted at a terrified Honey
“I…guess I’m…really sorry” Honey said a tear rolling down her cheeks
“oh Honey, I’m so sorry!” I cried as tears were pouring down my eyes and honey hugged me tight
“oh are you crying little baby?” snickered Rosella who passed by. I stood up with my fist at her face ready to punch. It felt like the part where princess Selenia was ready to kick princess Lina for teasing her. Honey quickly pulled me down.
“no! are you crazy? Rosella wanted this to happen so you can get in trouble” honey whispered
“wow…I nearly got tricked so easily. No wonder your so smart!” I told Honey, who now was like Collie: friendly, caring, lovely, etc…
“Ashley?!” a comforting voice yelled, Scott Saunders appeared on the scene, my hands are sweating, my face is read, my foot is stuck between a rock and my crush is here! what should I do?
“hey Scott!” Rosella said before I answered. Holy great! Now Rosella was putting on her love charm by twisting her hair with her index finger, putting on perfume, and giggling to the other girls. Looks like she has a crush on him too.
“Look Rosella-” Scott said
“-call me Rose or Rosy’ Rosella interrupted
“I don’t like you, okay. I don’t like people that put on lipstick and lip balm and perfume and make other people feel bad” Scott yelled
“then what are you here for?” Rosella said uncomfortably
“I’m here to help Ashley get herself up, can’t you see she’s stuck?” Scott said
“oh oppsy dasies!” Rosella snickered and led her group of girls away including Kathy who wouldn’t look at me
“you alright?” Scott asked me. He lent me his soft, warm hand and pulled me up. Shook his chocolate-coloured hair and shone his light brown eyes in the sun then looked at me.
Today was mufti day and I was wearing a pair of sneakers, jeans, a t-shirt and my hair in a high pony tail and Rosella had pink high heels, a hot pink sundress with a black ribbon tied in a bow and a light pink jacket with her hair in two pigtails. Rosella wears more expensive clothing than me, is more popular than me and everything so why does he have to look at me in the eyes? Kathy is pretty! Kathy’s wearing silver high heels (took shoes off while doing handstands), white mini skirt, white satin shirt with hair flat out. Or Honey wearing golden slippers, short, ripped jeans (on purpose) flower shirt and hair in a lovely bun. Or at least Collie who is wearing brown sandals and a blue dress up to her knees with hair tied in a messy bun. But why me? I’m not the best dressed girl today and I’m having a bad hair day too, my hair is in knots well it was, this morning, Honey managed to fix it by spraying her lip smacker detangle on my hair.
“yeah I’m…okay” I replied slightly smiling
“so um… nice meeting you” Scott smiled
“yeah” I said starting to walk away
“wait” scott pulled me back
“what?” I laughed
“I…”
“look, thanks for helping me but I better get back to my friend”
“no please, stay… I need you to…” scott said that slowly and leaned towards me. I can feel it! Scott really likes me! I thought he likes Honey but looks like he changed his mind! Finally all my dreams are coming true! One day I might be rich and I married Scott Saunders and I will be Ashley Saunders and we will in live in Paris, in a huge mansion!
“…could you pass this  letter to Honey Hillson please” Scott smiled and reached in his pocket. My dreams smashed hard. My heart is beating so very fast…
“WHAT!” I screamed
“what’s wrong?” Scott asked
“oh…sorry about that, it’s just you like Honey?” I cried
“yeah, wait! Are you crying?!” Scott quickly got a tissue from his pocket and gave it to me. I looked at him and laughed, took the tissue and rubbed my eyes. We sat under a shady tree and talked about Rosella and the P girls. I told Scott that Kathy Bells was actually a really nice girl and he believed me. He is so sweet…
“so why were you crying?” asked Scott as he leaned on the bark of the tree we were sitting under
“dunno” I giggled as Scott tried to tickle me
“just tell me…please?” Scott laughed
I thought about it. Should I? Should I tell him I liked him. I thought he was like really popular and never noticed me but now can you believe it he’s sitting next to a girl that is not popular at all, and he’s been so sweet to me, I just can’t forget this day.
Chapter 6: letters
“Look I’ll give the letter to Honey…” I smiled chewing on my finger
“thanks but are you okay with it? Because I don’t want to force you”
I am totally not okay with it, but hey he likes Honey, forget it girl I thought.
“yeah, totally! Honey’s my friend, I should be happy for her, right?” I said
“yes but not happy to tears, right?” Scott asked
“oh scott! Your really funny! Honey should be lucky to have you!” I smiled
“thanks!, your really nice and friendly and not like the P girls at all! But still really pretty and casual, trust me I don’t like fancy dresses that Rosella wears, anyway we should hang out sometime, you know like just talking right here under this shady tree…bye!” Scott waved as he gave me the letter and left. I leaned on the smooth paper bark of the tree and held the letter tight in hands. No I can’t read the letter I shouted to myself, it’s for Honey! But that eagerness in that letter made me sick. That’s it I unfolded the letter and read.
Dear Honey Hillson,
Do you understand that I really like you? Every time I look in your eyes I like you. Now your trustworthy friend, Ashley must have gave you this as, I myself is too shy to give this love letter to you myself
Love, Scott Saunders
I folded it carefully and gave it to Honey. I knew everything would be okay because Honey likes Grady Camol. Honey read the letter and quickly scribbled something back.
Look Scott I really like you as a friend but not in that way! Oh and I am not free I like Grady Camol so sorry to upset you, scott
Love, Honey
Honey showed it to me and asked me advice, I said it was just fine and I was a bit guilty as well so I wrote something too.
To Scott,
I am so sorry about you and Honey I think you guys are really perfect for each other, don’t blame Honey she’s just in love with Grady. I need to tell you something…I really like you. That’s why I cried because I loved you…
Love, Ashley
I told Honey to give both the letters to Scott as I watch him read it and write back. He put the letters in our tray and left. Honey and I rushed to our trays and read the letters, Honey’s said:
Honey,
I figured that you liked him and I am not at all upset, I was just joking at the whole love thing. Call it a prank, okay? I never loved you, Honey I think it was myself pulling a prank on you, don’t take it real!
Later, Scott
“Wow! Scott must be pretty upset and tried to say that it’s a joke!” Honey said sadly
“don’t worry, honey, you didn’t hurt his feelings, let’s read mine” I comforted my friend
“oh yes! I can’t wait to hear what yours say, because you told him you like him, right?” Honey giggled
Ashley,
Remember when we sat under that shady tree near the red seats on top grass? that’s when I released you were a kind, caring friend. But I’m really sorry, our relationship are friends. My feelings are to Honey and I understand why you were crying, I knew all the time that you liked me and I like you but not in that way.
,Scott
“Omigosh! He has feeling towards you!” Honey laughed
“no honey, he has feeling towards you…” I replied in a gloomy mood
“but, hello? I don’t like him and soon he will start liking you, well he already does!” Honey said excited
“Should I write back?” I asked
“totally! Should I?” Honey said
“totally!” I laughed
Hey Scott,
I read the letter that you gave me, and also read the letter that you gave Ashley, well actually she let me read it. Don’t blame her, I begged her for it. Anyway, I understand your feelings for me but I like you the way you like Ashley. Were friends, not enemies or love doves. Just friends, I knew you weren’t pulling a prank on me, I read Ashley’s letter from you and it said that you had feeling to me, admit it, okay?
Kay Kay, Honey 

Scott,
Honey is one lovely and reliable person, but she doesn’t have any feelings for you. Don’t you understand? Okay enough about this, what about we talk about the talent show that is coming up.  I was thinking of singing of a boy and a girl, I’m the girl and the story is that the boy didn’t love the  girl and at the end he did, guess who the boy is?
Love, Ashley
I think the boy is me, am I right? You don’t need to be embrassed
Scott
Wow! You’re a good guesser, wish we could talk more but it’s too risky to keep sending notes to each other in class!
Ashley
Meet me at the shady tree at lunch next Monday
Scott
Okay
What is this about?
Collie
Just forgive me, collie that’s all
Ashley
Personal business here
Scott
Look, Miss penny is going to be so angry at you guys if you keep passing notes around the class, now other people are joining in, and I am out of this business!
Kathy Bells
Oh Kathy! Please forgive me! I was just telling Collie how amazing you are! Really!
Ashley
I forgive you alright! Chat with me after school!
Kathy Bells
I guess I will have to forgive you too
Collie
Thanks so much Collie, can’t wait for Monday, sleepover time! Today’s Friday! Sorry busy after school, tomorrow?
Ashley
Oh no! Miss Penny is coming quickly rip the letter, oh it’s too late!
Kathy bells
Don’t worry, blame it all on me! I started this anyway
Ashley
Are you sure? It’s not all your fault! You really don’t have too!
Kathy Bells
Don’t worry
Ashley
“Um… Ashley what are you doing? I can see you are writing a note” Miss Penny said
“yes, and it was all my fault I started it and I finished it, all the other people who wrote on it had nothing to do with it!” I said bravely
“very well, give this to your parent, Ashley” Miss penny handed me a letter. Enough letters! I thought
Dear parents of Ashley,
Your daughter is always late to class and misbehaving . Now she’s encouraging  my students to write letters in class! Do something about this!
Best regards, Elise Penny
Chapter 7: Bloomy trouble
“Dear parents of Ashley, your daughter is always late to class and misbehaving. Now she’s encouraging my students to write letters in class. Do something about this. Best regards, Elise Penny” Mom read at home
“now ashy, just tell me that this is a prank letter right?” dad laughed
“it must be darling, you told us Miss penny adored you” mum patted me on the back
“you know… If I said yes, it was a joke, would you believe me?” I asked
“well that depends if you are telling the truth” mum smiled
“what if… I said no, it’s not a joke, would you believe me?” I asked, worried
“oh ashy, just look at that worried face” dad laughed
“Ashley… are you sweating?” mum said feeling my face
“sort of…” I said uncomfortably
“are you sick?” mum worried
“no, just scared” I replied
“why?” mum says gently
“no worries, even if you are naughty in class… we can’t blame you, your sick” dad smiled
“I’m not sick and it’s true I have been naughty in class, sorry” I cried
“don’t worry now, huggie?” mum smiled and hugged me tight
“for now…” dad said
“so you mean I’m still in trouble?” I wondered
“ha! You are so funny! I was only joking!” dad laughed
Mum nudged him in the elbow and glared at him to stop. I was put in bed thinking about the Saturday coming up. Collie, Honey and I always chat on ’bloom’ a chatting site were you chat with your friends, I couldn’t wait!
“wake up! Ashley? You still sick… I can send breakfast up to your bed” mum panicked in the early morning
“give that child a break” dad said
“I couldn’t stop thinking about her yesterday night, I was so worried, and your like all relaxed” mum said facing dad angrily
“look I’m just saying, she’s fine. Turning 11 in a few weeks and no sooner will be a teenager” dad argued
“well, I’m her mum, the least I can do is ask her if she’s alright!” mum shouted
“she is!” dad shouted back
“and how do you know that? I’ve been next to her since 6 in the morning and you only woke up 5 minutes ago” mum glared
“mum! Dad!” I yawned
“are you alright?!” asked mum straight away
“yes! I really am, I’m just asking you two to stop fighting” I said getting up
“told you she was alright” dad smirked
“are you laughing at me, laughing that I’m wrong?” mum smiled
“wait… oh no… don’t tell me it’s time for tickles” dad mumbled
“well let’s see who’s laughing!” mum laughed and chased after dad ready to tickle him. Trust me, no one can escape mum, she can run really fast! And her tickles can you kill you, not literally kill you but make you laugh so hard that your stomach hurts like crazy. Better get on Bloom, friends waiting.
Logged in, only 9:45am. My user name is Ashy102 and my friends are C.C (stands for Collie Claris) and Honeygirl (Honey) looks like both of them are on bloom but the sad thing is… Rosella and her P girls are on too.

Chapter 8- Birthday surprises
“please! Mum won’t agree, can you, please!!!!” I pleaded
“look I’m not in charge, baby, go to school now” dad said sending me up to Rose bay public school
“I won’t go to school unless you let me have a birthday party or at least a sleepover, come on! As a birthday gift” I begged
“only birthday gift? So you don’t want my present, mum’s present, aunt and uncle’s, grandma’s, grandpa’s? you want any of those? Fine with me” dad joked
“dad…please” I cried
“okay fine, I’ll speak to your mother, but if she says no then I probably cannot do any more” dad smiled at last
“thank you dad so much! Because I already told my friends they could come over on my birthday-”
“ENOUGH! You have been shouting all morning and I am sick! Off to school you go” dad boomed and shooed me to the front gate
“sorry dad, but thanks for helping, well thanks for going to help” I gave a hug and skipped off. Collie and Honey were sitting down under the shady tree with Summer and Emma What’s going on there? Are the twins okay, looks like I’ll have to find out.
“hey summer the bummer and emma” I said and high-fived Honey
“hey” summer said sadly
“hey” emma said too
“what up with the ‘hey’?” I laughed
“nothing it’s just we won’t be there at the end of the year to watch the talent show and Rosella is giving us a hard time…” summer said
“not her again…” I said rubbing my head
“just stay out of it, Rosella never get’s in trouble and your ideas are all about telling a teacher, it doesn’t work” emma said angrily
“oh that’s nice, because I just have a idea and my ideas aren’t all dibby dobbing ideas, in fact there not at all!” I shouted back
“fine then what are they?” summer said
“standing up for yourself, having faith in yourself” I explained cooling down
“bring your invitations?” Honey said changing the subject
“no… sorry guys I just don’t think that my parents will allow me to even have a sleepover” I said sadly
“it’s alright, and sorry about what I said” emma comforted
“same” summer smiled
I dug through my bag pretending to look for something so I can hide my tears, letters, what are they doing here? I looked at them…INVITATIONS! Mum agreed but secretly, and dad probably knew all the time! Yes!
“here you go Collie, I said reading from the invitations, mum worte them as she knew all my friends
“honey” I read and passed the invitation to honey
“Summer, yours” I continued
“emma” I smiled
“And the last one, drum roll! I laughed
Collie, honey, summer and emma banged their hands on the grass.
“Kathy bells?” I said confused, mum knows her?
“that was a little help from us!” collie smiled and pointed to honey.
“oh thank you guys! You really believe Kathy!” I cried
“who keeps saying my name?’ a warm, kind, wondering voice said behind
“Kathy!” I ran up and hugged Kathy tighly
“that hurts…a bit” Kathy laughed
“sorry, I’m a hugger!” I laughed back “here! It’s my birthday soon and I hope you can come”
“August 20th ,I’m free then…I guess, next Saturday?” Kathy asked
“yep” I replied
“sure can come, sleepover party, that’s what it says on here and that sounds good I’ll ring you tonight to make sure, kay?”
“kay” I laughed as Kathy went to greet the P girls. Collie rang tonight as did Kathy summer and emma told mum this afternoon and honey is on the phone.
“so I’m coming!” honey said
“that’s great, can I tell you something?” I asked
“I’m on all ears” honey laughed
“well today you know after school I was waiting for mum to pick me up I just sat under that shady tree we sat under this morning and when I sat with Scott…” I started
“keep going” honey pushed
“well, scott ust came and to talk”
“that’s it?” honey asked surprised
“yeah, what else do you expect?” I ask
“well you don’t stare at each other?”
“no”
“you don’t say jokes, play around?”
“no”
“don’t kiss?”
“no way!”
“sorry just thinking, oh gotta go, my brother’s being annoying, bye”
CLICK
Wow I thought, what a day, sad no sleepover day because of honey being busy and collie going somewhere. But at least I get to have a sleepover party!
Chapter 9- my B’day
Days passed so quickly that it was the morning of my birthday party and around 11, my friends will start arriving and we’ll bake our lunch and have fun, I can’t wait, after all I am the birthday girl! Mum and me got everything set up and now I’m just checking again, like I have already for the hundredth time.
“sweetie, you’ve been up since 6, get some rest” mum pleaded me
“please mum! It’s my birthday and It’s today, shouldn’t I at least make sure there is no whoopers in it?” I asked checking the sofa
“it’s just you have checked around the hundredths time! Now go to sleep, it’s only 8” mum said shooing me to my bedroom.
“can you at least get my party dress, I’m still in my daggy shirt with black tights and you know that pink pyjama? Can you get it out, Kathy’s having a sleepover after, remember?” I bragged and slid into bed
“yes, of course I remember! But her mum just rang me and said she couldn’t…I will call you when it’s time to get ready” mum smiled
“WHAT! She’s not- but -it’s like 3 hours, I can’t possibly go to-”
“trust me, in a blink of a eye it would be party time, time goes fast” mum said while leaving the room
“don’t leave! Tell me a story or something” I begged
“promise you’ll go to sleep then?” mum said holding out her pinkie
“promise” I giggled and shook my pinkie with hers
“okay…let me see, oh I got one! Once there was girl, about your age and it was on the morning of her birthday, and her friends are coming over…”
Mum said sitting on bed. I bet mum is talking about me I thought and slightly giggled.
“this girl was spending her time checking over everything instead of having a beauty sleep. She was much too excited and then thought why it’s like her party would never start, her mum came by and told her that the longer you wait, the slower it comes. And the quicker you do something like sleep, time will wait no man” mum finished
“great story mum! But am I the girl in the story?” I asked knowing
“hmm… I don’t know” mum said wondering
“but I Cleary am!” I argued
“well that girl went to sleep and when she woke up it was party time, and you…not sleeping” mum explained
“wow that is one clever story to use as a lesson on me!” I laughed
“it sure is” dad said leaning on the door
“you’ve been ears dropping the whole time, thought you were asleep?” mum noticed
“yeah…funny story by the way” dad laughed
“really?” mum asked
“oh no! not the tickles!” dad yelped and got in running position
“go get him, mum!” I pointed
“later, he’s lucky this time, now I got to bake some food” mum smiled
“I thought we were baking ourselves?” I asked
“change of plans” mum yawned ,walked away giving me a air kiss. I lay on my pillow waiting… 8:30am, my clock showed, what?! You kidding me? I guess mum is right, just got to go to sleep…
“wake up! For the fifth time, wake up!” mum shouted
“relax, let her sleep for a little while longer” dad stretched
“a little while longer?” mum said angrily “it’s 10:50am!”
 “10:50am!” I shouted nearing screaming sitting right up
“that’s a trick” dad laughed and went to get breakfast
“put on the dress, Ashley…careful…better…perfect!” mum smiled as I twirled around in my pink and white, lacy dress.
“look, Ashley…. I have to tell you something” mum said shyly
“what?” I said worried
“two kids asked me that they wanted to come to your party and I gave them the invitations…” mum said slowly
“WHAT?!” I screamed
“clam down, one is a girl and one is a boy” mum explained. I calmed a little at least it’s not rosella and her group, but rosella might be the girl.
“do you at least know there name?” I asked impatiently
“yes, the girl is called tiffing mills and the boy is called Scott Saunders” mum said helpfully
“Scott? Tiffany?” I said but never mind, tiffany isn’t that bad, and Scott (he is hot) he is nice, really nice…
DING DONG!
“yes!” I screamed, running to door and avoiding the balloons. I pushed the handle and greeted my first party guest, let’s say party guests.
“Uncle Charlie And Aunty Maria!” I smiled and hugged them both
“look who we brought here?” Aunty Maria said “our son, Philip!”
“hey Ashley, happy birthday” Philip smiled
“Aww thanks Philip!” I said and hugged him tightly, Philip was 9 years old and he’s quite a polite boy because he goes to a private school, haven’t seen him in ages! Philip quietly piled his presents on the table and sat down for a drink.
DING DONG! DING DONG!
Uncle Charlie opened the door seeing Summer and emma jumping in with their presents.
“summer and emma!” I shouted and hugged them both
“were here!” summer beamed
“awesome decorations!” emma said pleased
“thanks come in!” I smiled, next I saw a car park along near my house and out walked Kathy! In a blue satin dress with her hair in a high pony and running up to me while waving goodbye to her mother.
“Kathy! You’re here!” I scream
“yes I am! Sorry about the sleepover thing…” Kathy agreed with a sad look and gave me her present which was quite big and very heavy
“what’s in here?” I ask forgiving her and also so cautious to know
“curious?” Kathy smiled mischievously
“very curious” I say as we walk up the driveway
“you’ll find out, it’s a surprise, oh and heres the card” Kathy smiled
“thank you” I say politely
“akeueak pleazueer” Kathy giggled
“huh?”
“means it’s my pleasure in French” Kathy said smugly
“right, I so knew that” I laughed
“I’m here is well!” a cherry voice said behind
“honey!” I beamed as honey gave me her huge present and her card
“thanks…uh…heavy here” I said as Kathy carried hers to help
“ahem! Missed someone?”
“collie!” I smiled
“me is well!” a cheeky voice popped in
“tiffany?” honey asked “I’m pretty sure she’s not on your list
“uh…let’s talk later” I replied
“hey Ashley, sorry I’m late 3 minutes” a soft, warm, charming voice said
“Scott?” I answered
“that’s my name, don‘t wear it out” Scott said and walked up with us
“looks like everyone’s here so let’s get this party rolling” mum said and turned up the volume. We did dancing, playing in the park, dipping our feet in chocolate (yuk but cool), dressing up, playing a game of soccer (Philip, Scott, me and tiffany vs collie, honey, Kathy, summer and emma), ate lunch (delicious chocolate brownies, hamburgers and chips) and I got a special birthday order! Next is cake as we all sat around me and I blowed my 10 candles and wished my life was like this everyday…
“present time!” honey said as it was 1:30pm and the party as about to end
“okay sit around” I said excited
Philip passed his down and I ripped the car wrapper and saw a pink diary with a pencil case in a shape of a donut or a ring.
“thanks Philip, I love it!. To Ashy, happy birthday and I hope all your wishes come true from Philip, awww…thank you” I said and hugged Philip who smiled. Next was my mother and father as I un wrapped the shining paper and inside there it was my very own guitar.
“that’s not all!” dad smiled and handed me a brand new laptop, the Mac book air, newsiest, fastest, lightest, smartest laptop apple have ever invented and it’s all mine!
“you guys are the best!” I said and hugged them
Honey was next as she gave a pack of lip smackers and a ‘build your very own fake fish tank’ set and it’s so cool  because there is real water but fake fish, the fish can actually grow!
“I love it honey!” I smiled and squeezed my friend’s hand
Collie was next and she gave me a brand new, purple scooter (what I always wanted)
“collie? Thank you so much!” I said
Kathy was next and she gave me a make up box and smiggle rubbers and pens and also gave a camera and a robotic dog.
“no way! Kathy, you don’t have to-”
“hey don’t you like it?” Kathy asked knowing the answer
“you kidding me, I love it and sweet card” I laughed
Tiffany gave me a photo of her and said it was to keep memory of her.
“thank you, I will remember you with this photo” I said
“it’s laminated” Tiffany said proudly as honey laughed off, I nudged honey by the elbow trying not to upset tiffany. Summer and emma passed their presents over.
“wow summer, I love the snow globe! And emma I really adore the beautiful dress your giving me” I said hugging them both. Scott was last as he passed his to me, it’s quite heavy but I can manage it. Flowers, a vase to put them in and a soft bunny toy.
“thank you” I say immediately filling water in the vase and putting the flowers in the vase.
“I really like it, Scott” I said staring right in his chocolate, brown eyes as he stared in mine.
“HELLO?????” Philip wailed
“oh sorry, yeah?” I blushed
“our cousin sohpie’s here! And she’s annoying! AND LATE! VERY LATE! The end of the party late!” Philip wailed
“sophie?!” I screamed
“yep that’s me” a cute girl popped in. Sorry for not introducing my second cousin, sophie! Here she is, a blonde, cute girl in two plaits with wide, blue
Eyes as big as saucers. She’s around five and she’s my second cousin apart from Philip. Though I have to tell you her English is not perfect.
“hello abby” Sophie said while skipping into me with a hug
“it’s Ashley” I laughed
“whatev! Here me present!” She giggled
“you mean whatever, here is my present?” I laughed more as I tear open the purple wrapping and out came a doll with a dummy and fake food and cloths (how cute!)
Thank you, soph!” I encouraged as others laughed at the baby present
“hi aunty lia and uncle bob, glad you could make it!” I thanked
“lolly bags!” mum yelled and handed them out
Everyone left the house and went home except for Honey and collie.
“what a day!” collie said tired
“I know right!” Honey agreed “oh and was that a moment you had with scott?”
“shut up!” I nudged honey
“really, was it?” collie asked suspiciously
“no! it’s not we were just staring at each other, anyway gotta go! Mum’s waiting, chat on bloom” I lied and rushed off, wishing that they won’t ask any more questions as I really did think that scott and I had a moment!
I lay in bed that night thinking over and over again about scott and how he stared in my eyes, sad Philip cut in! but glad that no one else noticed except for Honey and Collie…they better keep that secret!
Chapter 10- Auditions
“hey I can’t wait for that audition”
“I know right! I am going to rock”
“really I’ve seen your performance and it’s…”
“I can’t wait”
“what’s your one about?”
I walked through the chatter of girls and boys as they chatted about Rose bay’s hottest news: the talent show auditions. It’s coming up and I haven’t done a thing about it.
“hey guys! Have you finished your performances for the talent show?” I asked
“duh! It’s like this Friday and today is Monday!” Honey replied
“and also sleepover day!” Collie added
“I might not be able to do the sleepover with you guys…” I said sadly “ I’ve got to find a song to sing and play with my new guitar, now that I have one I don‘t need to use school one and- ”
“calm it! All I did was dance to music” Collie said
“and I just did a little jazz” honey said
“and you guys aren’t putting that much effort in it
?” I asked
“nope” honey and collie said together
“why?” I asked
“dunno, but I like Kathy’s” collie admired
“what’s hers?” I asked
“she’s doing gymnastic tricks to the song “move like jagger” I mean I love that song and her walkovers and flips all match the song like she did a slow-mo flip for the ‘mmmooovvveeee’ part” Collie said
“wow… that sounds great, thought she was doing piano or something” I said
“not anymore…” honey said
“hey, that’s scott!” honey said
“scott?” I wondered
“um… hey guys! I just wanted to tell you that the year 6 farewell is coming up and the weird thing is that the boys have to take a girl to the farewell and dance” he said shyly, OMG! Was he going to ask me?
“so what you doing here?” I asked hiding the excitement
“well I thought that I would tell you guys so you can start looking for a boy, I guess…” he said and waved goodbye
“damn!” I hesitated
“you want him to ask you to the dance, don’t you?” honey said in a love voice
“oh come on! I need to practice anyway, bye!” I said leaving
“don’t leave! We could practice at your house, since it’s you turn right?” collie asked
“okay fine!” I said finally
“yes!” honey and collie both smiled.
“Um… I was thinking of singing fireworks by katy perry…” I thought aloud
“good idea! Do you know how to play it on your guitar?” collie asked
“I guess so, I practised this morning” I said hopelessly
“then show us!” honey bragged
“fine, here I go!” I laughed
“go!” both honey and collie shouted
“do you ever feel like a plastic bag…” I sang stringing the chords from my guitar. Collie and honey must really like it as they were dancing to it!
“Baby you’re a fire-work! Come on let your colours burst….’ I sang and stood up dancing to the beat and moving my feet! I love it!
“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! Brighter than the moon, moon, moon”
“go Ashley!” collie sreamed
“yeah…” I finished
“whooo!” honey cheered
“you rocked” collie smiled
“you certainly did and you also certainly almost made me deaf!” mum laughed
“mum? You were listening in too?” I said surprised
“not really listening in” mum replied
“only hearing the music!” dad joked
“too loud, right?” collie asked
“yes too loud!” mum smiled
“you mean way too loud!” dad laughed as we joined in.
The rest of the sleepover was more practising and finishing watching Princess detectives. Days passed quickly as it was the morning of Friday (auditions!) I quickly woke up dressed in my school uniform and brought a glittery dress in my bag for the auditions and dragged my guitar with me.
“slow down, speedy” mum said and pulled me into a kiss and waved goodbye. I quickly rushed to school and met everyone in the hall as the first few auditions already passed.
“Kathy bells?” Miss Rose called out
“here!” Kathy said politely
“your on, good luck” Miss rose encouraged
“break a leg!” I whispered
“thanks” Kathy grinned back. Kathy started her performance with a standard back flip and other tricks. The song ended and everyone was clapping.
“Rosella sharpe, your on” Miss rose continued
“wish me luck!” she whispered and twirled her hair to the P boys
“good luck, baby” said luke benson
“you rock” said mike gold
“Do your thing” chimed in ben taylor
“BTW your hot” said grady camol (poor honey)
“good luck…” said scott sauders (what?!)
All the P boys just stared dreamily at her except for scott (which is a good thing)
Rosella started singing her solo with Kathy playing the piano (poor Kathy, rosella is using her!)
“It’s the climb….” rosella finished doing a double curtsey that made me feel ill
“next up is Ashley bailey!” Miss rose winked at me
I stood up and gulped as honey and collie squezzed my hand.
“good luck” it was that warm, charming, safe voice again I turned around and smiled at scott, the charming prince and went onto the stage in my glittery gold dress and my shiny guitar.
I played a few notes and opened my mouth “do you ever feel…” my voice was all wobbly but it sounded quite nice as I finished, nearly everyone was clapping and cheering. Nearly. Rosella defiantly is not happy but I am!
“Now that everyone has perfromed I will annouce who is going to do it for the real deal… drum roll please” Miss rose smiled with her chestnut coloured hair flowing behind gently. We all drum rolled on our laps as miss rose  read from the paper. My hands are sweating, I can’t breath, my eyes are stinging from not blinking, I have froze.
“Rosella sharpe, Kathy bells, amy Armstrong, Grady camol, honey hillson, scott saunders, Stella Osborne, Emma and summer shoal, luke benson, Marley gent, Chirstopher lean, Rebecca white and…” Miss rose smiled
I knew I wouldn’t make it in but I still wouldn’t breath or blink I can’t hide my depression, collie looked sad that she didn’t make it in, the last person Miss rose is going to read out is not me-
“… Ashley bailey!” Miss rose finally let out
I breathed, I blinked, I smiled, I stood and lined up with the others, I’m proud! Others cheered me on as I smiled my biggest smile and breathed.
Chapter 11- mei ling, misunderstandings!
“well done!” mum said as she heard the news
“I’m proud, ash!” dad smiled
“thanks!” I said blushing
“oh and I have to tell you that my cousin’s, friend’s, boyfriend’s, daughter’s cousin is coming over tomorrow to live with us for a week!”
“daughter, cousin, boyfriend, friend-what?”
“confusing, huh? I can’t even remember the first letter” dad joked
“can you stop being a joke and be serious for once?!” mum said angrily
“sorry just trying to make ash feel happy” dad explained while winking at me
“was that a wink?” mum asked suspiciously
“oh mum! You have a eagle’s eye you know?” I said kissing mum on the cheek and going to bed.
“Ashley! Get up, get dressed, get brushed!” mum shouted through her room
“it’s like 8” I yawned guessing the time
“no it isn’t!” mum said annoyed thinking that I can’t read a clock
“9?….10,11?” I guessed shoving a pillow over my head
“no it’s 6” dad answered
“6?!” I said throwing the pillow at the door which hit mum because she was walking in.
“mei ling’s coming!” mum said ignoring the pillow and threw it back at me
“ha!” I said catching the pillow
“very funny, wow! You caught a pillow!” mum said sarcastically
“so mei ling’s coming?” I said getting dressed
“yes and she’s from china and she takes English too seriously… like idoms, don’t say those” mum warned me
“you mean like if I say I have butterflies in my tummy she’ll actually think that I have butterflies in my stomach?” I pointed out
“basically it’s just her mum saids she gets English muddled up a bit” mum said
“wait but I need to go to school today” I said
“today is Saturday! Yesterday was Friday which you did your auditions on” mum explained
“right” I said
DING DONG!
“that must be mei ling!” dad said
“pointing the obvious” mum said opening the door
“good morning Mrs bailey” a girl with shoulder-length black hair who is wearing a tidy, neat, boring dress with black school shoes and white socks up to the knees.
“hello, your mei ling right?” mum said kindly
“yes” Mei ling answered politely
“welcome in” dad said
“hi nice to meet you, mei ling” I said smiling showing her the spare room she’s going to sleep in.
“nice to meet you” she said and placed her black suitcase on the bed and started unpacking
“want a hand?” I asked
“a hand? I already have two hands” mei ling said confused
Mum’s voice popped in my head ‘she’s from china and she takes English too seriously… like idoms, don’t say those’
“uh… I meant do you want a hand like some help” I said giggling
“I have two hands, I think that is enough for a human being” she said in that same Chinese accent that sounds quite nice for some reason
Mei ling took her hat off and showed that beautiful face of hers. I never knew a face like could be so pretty. Her ebony hair placed neatly against her shoulders and her big, black eyes staring at me with her lovely soft, pink lips smiling.
“uh… let’s say it this way, do you need some help?” I asked hoping she wouldn’t misunderstand this
“oh yes of course!” she said with her pretty voice
“what a polite girl you are” mum said as she walked in the room”
“thank you, Mrs bailey it’s a pleazueer”
“huh?”
Akeauk pleazuer I remembered from Kathy (thanks Kathy)
“it means pleasure in French”
“yes thank you Ashley, I learn French” mei ling said in a formal way
“no prob” I smiled
“prob?” mei ling said confused
“it means problem-”
“I must search it up in my dictionary” mei ling said and fliped out a heavy book and started searching
“oh what a hard working, Chinese girl wish you could be like that, ash” mum said admiring mei ling
“she’s from china! Children work hard there” I pointed out
Mum just blew me a air kiss and walked away. DING DONG! Collie crashed into the room as soon as dad opened the door and accidentally bumped into Mei ling.
“this is my friend, mei ling” I introduced
I am very sorry I bumped into you” mei ling apologised
“I’m really sorry too” collie retured
“I really sorry three” mei ling said again thinking collie meant two
“oh I mean the too not the two-”
“don’t bother, she won’t get it just continue” I said helpfully
“I’m sorry…4?” collie said looking at me probably thinking ‘what the…’
“I’m sorry 5” mei ling said immediately
“I’m sorry 6” collie said getting the game
“I sorry-”
“enough!” I cut in
Both mei ling and collie looked at me.
“sorry… I’m sorry 7, anyway what’s the rush? Got a new crush! Rhymes!” I laughed at my own joke
“you better get a date for the farewell!” collie said
“right, I’ll ask scott I guess he’s the one I want to dance with” I blushed
“well there’s going  to be a bit of a comp, rosella?” collie said
“comp? Dictionary!” mei ling said searching again
“jezz those kids in china!” collie laughed
“like her accent?” I asked
“beautiful, thought Chinese accents didn’t sound good but hers… a beautie” collie agreed
“so I have to find one right?” I asked
“I guess so or all the good ones will be taken away” collie said
“you have a date?” I randomly asked
”yep” collie said dreamily
“really?! Who?” I said never knewing my best friend had a crush on a boy
“just luke benson…” collie said innocently
“that p boy!” I said annoyed “you chose him as your date!”
“he chose me- With a bunch flowers!” collie said more dreamily
“he doesn’t suit you, your kind and caring and he is so mean and so selfish!” I explained
“shellfish?” mei ling wondered giving up on searching
“SELFISH!” Collie and I shouted
“is that a type of fish?” mei ling asked
“search it up” collie said and mei ling started searching, AGAIN!
“what about honey?” I asked
“she’s with Grady but she had to give Grady a present the opposite of mine” collie giggled
“very funny, col” I plastered a fake smile (am I left out!)
“yeah, it’s funny alright but you need a date” collie said looking more worried
“who needs a date?” dad said ( he has a habit of eavesdropping)
“oh it’s a dance with a boy for the yr 6’s it’s their last year” collie said
“and Ashley needs a date to the farewell dance?” dad said guessing the rest
“precisely” collie grinned
“find scott then, I saw him at your birthday party, he must be your friend” dad said being helpful
“like I didn’t know that” I said being obvious
“so I guess I really ain’t some help, your mum’s right I never get serious” dad said sadly. I knew that sentence probably hit him hard and I think I nearly saw A tear in his eyes gently rolling down the pale cheeks. Mum, who’s eyes are so sharp we call them eagle eyes saw that tear and rushed over, collie and I let them talk and left mei ling’s room to watch TV.
“Yes!” I said excited “crush in a rush is on”
“your just trying to change the subject ain’t you, dad knows your sorry, ash” collie comforted
“you knew?” I asked
“yep you never watch crush in a rush, it’s normally ’need for speed’or‘a sweet beat’ right?” collie asked
“yep, you know me too well!” I laughed
“practice some gymnastics?” collie volunteered
“who’s Jim nastics?” mei ling asked as she walked up to us
“uh…a friend” I lied not bothering to explain.
“anyway, gotta go! Can’t wait for the end of the year” collie said
“what’s exciting? Going to the year 6 farewell or being in year 6 after a few months?’ I asked
“yes there one of them, what I meant is the Christmas craft where we send a secret note and a Christmas craft to a person in our year and of course secret santa!”
“oh it is where you draw a name out of a hat and the person you get you have to buy them a pressie?”
“absolutely! And another day they get their pressie and they have to guess who is their secret santa! Plus my family is having Christmas dinner with Christmas pudding where when you eat it, there’s something in it!” collie finished so excited she started jumping.
I wish I had scott I intended to say but instead I said “cool”
“oh today is such a hot day, how can you say it’s nice and cool” Mei ling said misunderstanding again
“arrrggg! Mei ling why won’t you understand?” I said angrily
“I didn’t mean to” mei ling said in tears
“mei ling!-no don’t cry-mei-” I pleaded
“ASHLEY!” Mum roared
“yes mum?” I said acting all innocent
“you know that mei ling doesn’t get things you and your friends say so why not take it easy on her?” mum shouted ferociously
“sorry it’s just-”
“what huh? Driving you crazy? It better not be!” mum interrupted
“uhh… this might not be a good moment for me, anyway practice for the talent show and chat on bloom about captain speeches” collie rushed and fled
“collie!” I ran after
“stop this instant!” mum bellowed “don’t make me count to three, understand? 1”
I wouldn’t stop.
“2” mum lifted two fingers up
“3-”
I was nearly opening the door but I stopped. This trick always works on me, the thing is I don’t know what she’ll do after 3.
“Now, apologise to Mei ling and go to your room and finish off your homework, got it?” mum ordered
“got it” I said
“go on then, I’ll watch you” mum said shooting her fire, angry eyes at me.
“I’m sorry” I said with my head down
“don’t say that to me, to mei ling…now!” mum grew angrier
“I’m really sorry, mei ling” I said looking deep into the beautiful girl’s eyes. Her ebony eyes stared at me long in deep sorrow, her perfect hair gently placed. She seemed to forgive me with a graceful nod but I can see that sadness behind it I really shouldn’t of said that sentence.
“alright now go to your room” mum said patting me on the back, Mei ling just glanced at me for a second and left the house to cool down. I walked into my room and spent around a hour finishing up my homework and then I quickly rushed and poured pink lemonade into a plastic cup and went outside. There I saw Mei ling perched on the veranda like a swan gracefully floating in the water. Mei ling was in a change of cloths. Blue dress, white satin bow, high pony, delicate flower shoes. Altogether she looked like a princess resting on the veranda felling the hot wind blow in her face. She looked sad. Depressed. I knew that felling. I slowly walked towards her not making a sound. I stood next to her and handed her the cup. She took it quite quickly, almost a snatch. I can’t blame her I’m already thirsty. She drank it in one gulp and placed it on the chair next to her.
“I’m really sorry, I was too rough” I apologised again
“it’s fine” she replied her beautiful voice speaking softly
“it’s not fine, your sad and it’s all my fault, don’t be modest, admit it” I pleaded
“I’m fine!” mei ling shouted for the first time “how can I admit something I can’t admit?”
“You know it”
“I don’t” complained mei ling and walked away from me into the house
“mei ling!” I ran after
“mei ling was already starting to run and ran into the house crashing into her room and locking it. I ran after her and banged on the door.
“Ash what up?” dad asked
“what up?! Really! Mei ling won’t talk to me!” I argued
“stop banging the door, it’ll make the situation worse” dad said gently
“what do you know? Now stop giving me advice that I already know!” I shouted but regretted what I said straight away. Dad walked away, he had never shouted at me much and mum did all the shouting and just then I blamed it all on him. Right now I just hate myself. Mei ling’s angry, mum’s angry and now even dad is not talking to me. The silence made me sick as I lay in my bedroom, I couldn’t bother going on to bloom after what happened. Days passed as it was the last day for mei ling and she still wouldn’t speak to me.
“Mei ling! Please I beg of you I’m really sorry” I said as she started packing.
“bye Mrs Bailey, bye Mr Bailey and bye Ashley” mei ling waved and stepped out of her room
“forgive me?” I asked again
Mei ling gave a smile “I always have”
“thanks!” I waved as she got picked up by her mother and left.
Chapter 12: Captain speeches
“So now everyone grab a piece of paper and start writing their speech, anyone who isn’t writing their speech please go to Mr leech’s class” Miss penny said while welcoming people from Mr leech’s class. Collie, honey and I sat together writing our speeches. Weeks passed as tomorrow was the day of the captain speeches. We had a practice round and now it was my turn.
“Thank you Luke, next we have Ashley bailey” Melissa the school captain read out. I stepped out of my seat and stood on the stadium.
“Good morning Teachers, students and Mr Franklin. I’m here to tell you all the reasons why I should be school captain of 2012...” I started my speech, legs shaking of fear.
“thank you for listening to my speech and remember VOTE FOR ASH AND YOU’LL GET A SASH!” I finished imagining everyone clapping and cheering.
“Thank you Ashley, next we have Kathy bells” John the other school captain announced.
Kathy finished her brilliant, persuasive speech with a special model of the rose bay sign in crystal glass and a banner that says ‘vote for Kathy, she’ll ring a bell!’ Kathy ended her speech with a little dance and a packet of ringing belles to hand out. All the p girls and P boys cheered at the end .Even the others did and so did me and my friends.
“So? How was the rehearsal today” mum asked
“good” I said gloomily
“what’s wrong, don’t you think you gonna win?” Philip said as my cousin arrived at my house for a play date.
“not exactly” I said hugging little sophie who came too
“is someone better?” philip asked
“better?” I repeated
“…or not” philip changed his mind
“you mean way better!” I exclaimed
“who?” philip asked
“rosella but even better than her, my friend” I said sadly
“honey, collie?” philip guessed
“no” I continued in that boring voice
“WHO?!” mum, dad and philip yelled with Sophie trying to mock them
“ho?!” sophie copied and laughed
“Kathy bells” I finally let out
“she got some crops?’ dad asked
“heaps”
“I told you, you should of brought some crops, you wouldn’t listen!” dad said quite angrily
“it’s just that….” I complained
“you can’t be bothered” dad finished for me
“yeah and I can’t make any changes now…” I said sadly
“I think you just try your best, my sweetie” mum said gently
“yeah and have a early sleep, it’s first thing in the morning” dad said helpfully. I nodded and went straight to sleep.
“hey can’t you play with us?” philip asked “I don’t want to play with sophie-ALONE!”
“I think you two better go home, look your parents are here” mum suggested
“it’s like only 8” philip complained
“yeah! I want play- WITH ABBY!” sophie wailed
“sorry about her” her mother said while picking up the crying girl and leaving with Philip.
“Mum I’m up” I said jumping out of bed
“told you sleeping early is good but I told you 10 times in the morning to wake up and now it’s-”
“I know like way before school because other days you have to wake me up but today I woke up myself and it’s early” I said pleased and got dressed in my sport uniform
“no it’s 10 minutes until school so I’ll have to drive you there, okay?” mum said crossly
“what?!” I exclaimed “it’s Friday!”
“I know and your gonna going to be late if you don’t hurry” mum rushed and grabbed my bag “hop in the car”
“bye mum!” I waved as the bell rang
“Good morning Parents, teachers and fellow students, today these people will tell you why they should be captain of 2012 next year. After they all read out their speeches you will go up to your classroom and vote for a girl and boy. The results will be announced on Presentation day” Melissa read out and informed the first, Rosella sharp to start. My hands were sweating and my face was getting red all over as rosella finished. Then collie finished, then honey, then susan, then Tim, and now luke benson (I’m straight after him!)
“thank you luke, out next speaker is Ashley bailey” John announced and gave me thumbs up. I slowy walked to the stadium and everything went into slow motion as I saw all the faces of the students and saw my parents videoing with great smiles on their faces, I won’t let them down. I’ll make them proud! I thought of the princess detectives as Princess Selenia started to read out her speech of becoming queen.
“good morning…” I said and finished my speech with a crowd of claps
Kathy was next as she confidently went up and finished her speech throwing bells out as the everyone who caught one was shaking it and laughing with excitement, I got handed one and the sound was beautiful, that little ring, as peaceful and beautiful. I thought that Kathy defiantly had the part. We all went up to our classes and filled in sheet, I voted for myself like most of us would and lined up in our sport houses to vote for sport captain. There was Flanders, Heller, Bertrandi and Misdoer. I was in Flanders with Honey, Kathy and the worst, rosella.
“vote for me because I’m really encouraging and supportive, go Flanders!” Rosella said shooting her fists up in the air. (yeah right! So supportive)
“I think I should be captain because I believe that everyone in flanders has that talent in sport. Being sport captain is a huge responsibly that I want to take. It means encouraging you to keep doing your best like our school motto ‘quad potiu perfecci’ Always do your best. So I hope you vote for Kath!” Kathy finished, everyone was clapping, I think that Kathy is surely sport captain!
“I should be your sport captain of 2012 because I’m caring, lovely and no matter what I’ll always encourage you to the end” honey said
“I should be your sport captain because I truly believe I can take the role of encouraging you guys in to sport, vote for ash and get a sash!” I finished with Kathy giving me a wink and her thumbs up.
“time for voting” announced Mrs Graver
“Everyone will know at presentation day right?” I asked
“yep” Mrs graver smiled
“I’m voting for rosella” I heard someone say
“same, I was thinking Kathy but maybe not…” someone else said
“I wish collie was in this house, I would of voted for her” luke benson said while his mates were giving him lovely looks while they fake punched each other. P boys I thought but then collie’s voice popped in my head ‘just luke benson, he chose me-with a bunch of flowers’
Does luke really care for collie? Then I remembered what I said
‘he doesn’t suit you, your kind and caring and he is so mean and so selfish!’
That’s right! Luke always flirts with other girls, he doesn’t deserve beautiful collie. I thought of the princess detectives as princess selenia (me) wanted to tell prince lance (scott) that she loved him, while he wants to tell her he loves her (maybe). Her friend princess scarlett (collie) friendly, caring, nice is in love with prince charles (luke) who only has a bit of her in his heart (true) and there is princess barney (honey) who has to chase prince Ian to love her (grady). It’s like the director of the movie is making our lives into a fantasy. It’s like the movie is real but in a much kid-like version! That’s it, if collie (beautiful, smart very sly, creative, nice, too much!) is really in love with luke (girl cheater, mean p boy unlike scott, not smart, un kind sort of, too much!) I should put them together like the movie where selenia and barney help ftheir friend find true love with someone the opposite as them. I walked over to luke and his friends and pulled him over to a corner.
“hey?! What’s your prob” luke complained
“do you love collie?” I asked crossing my arms
“love?” luke asked cracking up “no way!”
“like?” I said thinking that collie would be heartbroken
“no” luke said dumbly and walked back to his friends
“luke benson!!!!” I shouted, everyone looked at me but I didn’t care
“what?!” luke looked angry
“then why did you give her flowers and asked her to the dance?!” I shouted with all my voice
“maybe because…because…look I’m not going to the dance with her” luke finished
“why?! She doesn’t even know. Your like dumping her!” I calmed down
“WE NEVER WERE TOGERTHER!” Luke roared “anyway I’m already going to the dance with tasha, now-”
“um… this is luke’s hat” a sweet voice interrupted
Oh great! Collie’s on scene if luke makes one wrong move, collie’s heart will be crushed! It’s risky for me to be here…
“uh… I’ll leave it to you guys” I said and skipped to a corner where I could here them talk
“thanks” luke said roughly and took the hat
“so?” collie said randomly and flipped her long brown, pretty hair as she always did that when she was nervous
“so” luke said blushing
“so your taking tasha to the dance?” collie said heartbroken “I heard”
“yeah I am, who are you taking?” luke asked normally. That retard! I thought can’t believe he even admit it and think nothing is harmed, hello?! Collie is harmed!
“uh… here have back the flowers” collie said hiding her tear
“you crying?” luke asked worried
“no, not one bit” collie lied and handed the flowers back to him
“oh here, it’s for you…” luke said landing a big wrapped present to collie
“thanks…WOW! A thousand dollar dress?!” collie screamed and HUGGED LUKE! I mean really collie? I know luke’s parents are billionaires but really? Hug him! Is there that need
“uh luke… you can let go now” collie said charmed
“sorry” luke said blushing and waved goodbye as collie left
“boy man! Girlfriend?” Mike gold asked (p boy)
“na but she’s pretty” joked luke
“so you do like her” I popped in
“um…no” luke said and walked away with his mates.
Chapter 13- A date to the dance!
“please I really love you” I heard honey say
“well I don’t love you!” grady yelled and ran away
“honey?” I whispered looking at my friend cry kneeling on the ground
“huh?” honey said and looked up at me
“get up” I said giving her a hand
“I’m fine” honey cried but rubbed her tear on her arm
“your face is red” I said worried
“uh… I figured that out” honey said and went to the bathroom
“I can’t believe it!” I heard a voice cry in a corner, gosh so many tears of love!
“collie?!” I said in surprise
“huh?” collie asked looking up with tears in her eyes
“luke?” I asked knowing
“yep look over at the p bench” collie said and started crying again
“the popular bench where the p girls and p boys” I asked scanning the crowd of gossiping hotties and mean girls that were chatting on their saved seats
“so why are you crying” I asked not getting the answer
“look at luke” collie said
There I saw luke chatting with the others but on his lap was Amy Armstrong, beautiful blondie (on his lap, eww!)
“collie, you saw?” I whispered
Collie ran away past the seats where luke saw her in tears and ran after I followed and dragged luke away as collie ran into the girls’ toilets.
“luke!” I shouted and lightly hit him in the face “you hurt my friends feelings! You expect me to let you run up to her and crush her heart once more?”
“HOW?” luke asked
“you are the most dumbest boy I have ever meant! Amy Armstrong was sitting on your lap!” I screamed at him knowing why collie liked him (probably because he is actually hot)
“Look she’s my girlfriend there is nothing wrong with that!” luke explained
“arggg!” I hit him once more, this time harder
“oww!” luke said shaking his black hair and staring at me with his blue eyes
“I told you I would visit you” a familiar voice said
“hello beautiful” luke said and suddenly got carried away at mei ling who said she would visit. Collie walked out of the toilets rubbing her eyes with tissue paper and saw luke flirting with mei ling.
“uh…collie” I said trying to hide luke and mei ling
“I saw!” collie cried as luke turned around
“oh col, you okay?” luke asked
“DON’T TALK TO ME! EVER!” collie sreamed
“why what did I do to you?” luke asked
“maybe asking me to go to the dance with you then dumping me completely! Also letting amy sit on your lap and go to the dance with tasha!” collie cried louder as the p group came over
“what up, luke?” grady asked
“what’s wrong?” amy asked as collie stared at amy meanly
“amy… are you luke’s girlfriend?” I asked
“yeah… why?” amy said normally giving luke a kiss on the cheek. As collie saw amy kiss luke on the cheek she ran. Ran for her life. I can’t blame her! If I see some girl kissing scott, I’ll freak out. Oh will I ever!
“collie!” I ran but a soft, firm grip held my hand and I turned to see that charming prince. He has finally come to kiss sleeping beauty…
“hello?” scott said waving his hand
“oh right…sorry, just daydreaming”
“about what”
“uh… nothing much”
“me?”
“you guessed?”
“no one’s here…”
“I know”
“then?”
“fine! I was dreaming about you, whatever!”
“Got a date to the dance?”
“no…” I asked so excited (was he going to ask me?!)
“I have one” scott smiled
“right” I answered hiding my depression, I knew scott didn’t like me, he never did
“well, going to have one” scott smiled even more
“okay…” I said not understanding (makes no difference, he has a date!, well going to be date)
“may I be your date to the dance?” scott asked and led showed out his hand “for a dance?- practice for the real deal”
“everyone’s looking besides there is no music” I said blushing
“so? Unless you believe there is” scott said
“well okay, everyone is free to join! Let’s say a mini dance” I shouted as other people agreed. I took his hand and we danced like how Mrs jade taught us. Rosella smiled at me for the first time- in a good way and grabbed a random boy’s hand and they joined the dance. Mrs jade who was looking over was so pleased she put on some waltz music. Honey bragged grady as he finally agreed and they started to dance. Luke finally got collie to stop and asked her “would you like to go to the dance with me?” begging on his knees, collie couldn’t reject and they joined the practice dance. Soon everyone was dancing around the netball courts and even tiffany was having a great time- dancing to herself that is!
“time to go to class” mrs jade smiled and stopped the music as we all bowed to our partners.
“off to class!” Mrs graver said and we all scurried off.
“so promise you are going to tell tasha your not going to the dance with her but me?” collie asked
“yes” luke said dreamily looking at collie’s beautiful eyes “and not to let amy sit on your lap and break up with her” collie said strictly
“yes…” luke continued staring at collie stupidly
“here’s the contract you got to sign to be my girlfriend” collie handed him a piece of paper
“girlfriend? You mean friend” luke laughed
“right” collie said upset
Contract:
1. You can not hold hands, etc… with other girls
2. You can’t change your mind once you told me
3. Do not lie to me
4. Can only be nice to me
5. Never ever get into a fight with me
Your sign:     my sign:
 Luke                 Collie Claris
“well okay” luke said and signed it
“thank you…” collie said surprised
“so you are staying at our house?” I asked
“not really, my parents rented a hotel and were living there for a few days, then were probably leaving to china” mei ling said spinning around with her hair in two plaits
“like this school?” I asked
“adore it, really!” mei ling said excited scanning over the playground
“well when are you coming to my house again?” I asked
“not quite sure…” mei ling said
“lucky you weren’t here yesterday, it was raining like cats and dogs” I said but regretted it right away
“cats and dogs? That-”
“I meant that it was like raining
” I corrected
“thought so” mei ling laughed
“looks like you gotta go” I said pointing at her mum
“well bye” mei ling waved and left
“OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! O-M-G!!!” I screamed jumping up and down on my bed
“calm down” mum said
“it’s just a date to the dance with scott, what is so exciting?” dad asked
“well it just is” I said and continued shouting ’OMG, OMG’ 
“I think she is in love with scott” mum grinned
“What?” now I was annoyed, this is so embarrassing
“yeah… your in love right?” dad continued making me angrier
“well sorry but I can’t let you go to the dance” mum said patting me on the back
“WHY?! Even if I did like scott it would be none of your business!”  I shouted
“don’t you speak to your mother like that!” dad roared and gave me a smack on the hand which burnt with fiery
“oww!” I yelped crying
“you shouldn’t of done that…” mum said to dad but he just ignored her and me a smack again
“hey?! I SAID stop that!” mum yelled
“your standing up to her now, huh?” dad argued and left the room
“wait!” mum rushed after
“you okay?” mum said when she came back looking at me at the ground
“I’m fine” I mumbled
“it didn’t go too red right?”
“not really”
“what do you mean not really? Let me have a look” mum said and reached for my hand “god that is one nasty smack”
“so I can’t go to the dance?” I asked hoping like Cinderella would hope to go to the ball
“no… it’s my friend’s wedding and you’re the flower girl” mum said gently placing my hair to the side
“do I have to go?” I moaned
“you know what?” mum said angrily
“mum! Don’t take it the wrong way” I cried
“look I’m here comforting you right after you just shouted in my face and I pleaded your father to forgive you and you haven’t said sorry once”
“I’m sorry” I cried more
“don’t give me that ‘I’m sorry’ I don’t want to hear it, now tomorrow you better tell scott that you are not going to the dance with him” mum shouted
“but-”
“oh and if you don’t, I will!” mum bellowed and fled the room. I slammed my hands on the walls as they burned back to me, how am I going to tell scott?
“uh hey scott! Can I talk to you” I bragged the next day
“sure” scott cooled out
“just about the dance-”
“you need a dress right? Every girl in rose bay is always talking about dresses and stuff, for some reason I thought you were different” scott explained smiling at me
“no I don’t really care about dresses, I could wear my jeans and a t shirt to the dance if I wanted” I explained back
“are you?” scott joked
“maybe” I said taking it real
“phfh!” scott cackled up
“you don’t believe me?” I said surprised but bombed and sad
“sorry… I made you unconscious of me right?” scott worried
“weird wording but okay” I smiled
“so what you want to talk about?” Scott laughed continuing the conversation
“my mum’s friend is having a wedding” I said slowly, very slowly
“when? Morning, afternoon?” scott randomly questioned
“good question!” I acted hiding my guilt
“it’s evening time” I said covering my mouth straight away
“said something you weren’t supposed to say?” scott wondered
“no… not at all, it just means that it’s at the same time as the dance” I explained
“what dance?” scott asked dumbly
“argg! The farewell dance”I said getting annoyed
“oh”
“sorry”
“I understand”
“I tried my very best to beg my mum to let me go but-”
“don’t worry…” scott patted my back and walked away
RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I walked back to class leaking with tears.
“can I help you?” a lady dressed in a white dress
“do I know you?” I asked
“oh! How rude of me! I’m Miss Tanberry, the new Liberian” the young lady smiled politely
“I’m fine, just so sad that…the year 6s’ are leaving, I mean my friend…Hannah is a year 6 and I love her… not love her…you know what I mean” I said unconvincingly
“well when you have hard times always make sure you take a nice drink of water and go to the library and to cool down” Miss Tanberry smiled “you see, when I was your age I had so many sad and rough times at school whether it was mean girls or parent fights maybe boy problems” she looked at me in the eye.
“Alright! I have a boy problem” I spilled out
“And…”
“some parent disagreements… a little” I mumbled
“well take in mind what I said” Miss Tanberry smiled and walked off
Chapter 14- special days
“get in the car” dad complained “we’re late”
“and there is only five minutes untill the formal” I complained back
“just get in” dad ordered
“wow! Mum you look… amazing!” I gasped
“why thank you my darling” mum said and kissed my head lightly
“Julia… you look… stunning” dad whispered
“why thank you, Josh” mum blushed and sat in the front seat while I quickly rushed into the back seat. I groaned and I moaned, I had planned to be dancing with scott tonight but… I am dancing with flowers tonight as the flower girl, that is my job.
“well I am so excited to meet my old friend, Belinda” Mum exclaimed
“yes and I hope she likes the wedding gift we brought her” dad laughed
“course she’ll like it” mum encouraged
“doubt that” dad joked as mum nudged him
“hey what was that for?”
“being weird and also because I felt like it” mum laughed
“really?…
As I hear my parents talk and laugh I just sit there not really imagining me and scott but just scott… being lonely and worried that I don’t like him or I’m just making it up! Or… no way! Scott is not a two timer with girls (Luke is) In fact he never was even a one timer! I was never his girlfriend, though my scott must be dancing with this girl who is pretty and rich.
“we’re here!” mum yelled excited
“oh and just wait my juliet” dad said and rushed to opedn mum’s door for her
“thank you my romeo” mum said charmed and placed her hand out waiting for her husband to pull her up but instead Romeo decided for a bit of romance and kissed the hand instead.
“it’s not a love story! It’s a wedding, not even your wedding” I said getting impatient and grabbing out my phone I also got from my birthday and started checking messages.
So sad u can’t come 2 farewell! Not going to be gr8 at all without u! Collistar!
U kidding me?! Not coming! Gonna miss ya!
Honny bunny
Gotta get the app for bloom can chat on your phone!
Phill
Love you darling don’t get angry about the dance
Mum
I laughed at the crazy messages my friends sent and mum! But I still can’t believe I’m not going to the dance… mum keeps saying there is always next year but not with scott there isn’t…
Ding! A new message appeared
I always believed that we’d be together in the future one day… I really like you, Ashley. You made me feel comfortable without being who  I’m not but just being myself, forgive me 4 walking away that day. It feels like that a hurricane had just started. So I love u! if u forgive me, text me back!
SCOTTY keep smiling
OMG! A voice screamed inside my head, scott wants me back! I immediately texted back.
Wow scott! I can’t believe that u have finally taken up the courage to say that to me, I am shocked, speechless but happy and joyful. I’m at a wedding and I’m stuck here being flower girl, forgive you? You mean forgive me? I wanted to dance with you so much! (embarrassing) I love u
ASHLEY keep smiling too!
Ding! A instant reply came back

Ash>

S’cott
Huh? Hello?
Ash>>
Great! His not replying and my credit has gone out! Mum will kill me. She just charged it full and told me not to waste it.
“Ashley!” mum called
“yes?” I answered
“this is Ben Casio, ben this is Ashley” mum introduced
“nice to meet you” a handsome boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, he is so picture perfect
“nice to meet you ben” I smiled shaking his hand
“now I’ll let you two talk, oh and Ashley remember ben from play school? He’s the boy that always played with you, remember?” mum asked
“oh yes, I do remember” I smiled and his shining eyes smiled back
“well I’ll leave it to you two” mum smiled
“By the way, he lies you” dad whispered in my ear but I gave him a nice, hard smack
“hey?!” he laughed
“revenge” I smiled mischievously
“oh yes and that’s what you will be waiting for” dad grinned as mum pulled him away
“don’t worry about him, he thinks that you like me” I laughed but I realised ben wasn’t laughing
“I do like you” ben blushed
“oh… sorry, really I didn’t mean to be so rude and ignorant-”
“ignorant? Ple-ase! You are the most pleasurable lady I have meant tonight”
“nice wording my gentlemen” I said adding a Italian accent
“care for a dance?’ ben smiled and led his hand out. I stared at it and smiled when I was just about to hold it something popped in my head- scott! He’s thinking of me and I’m ready to dance with another boy…
“hello?” ben said looking upset
“sorry” I said and placed my hand onto his, after all he’s my best friend in play school. We danced and pranced he lifted me up and twirled me in his arms. Then I realised a familiar looking person staring at us- SCOTT!
I remembered the message he sent me and about being here in ten minutes I let go of ben’s hand and lept, ran and hurried to him but he fled and ran away, far away…
“I’m really sorry about that” ben said worried
“never mind, I’ll speak to him tomorrow” I smiled but deep inside I was so ashamed of myself
“let’s go to the groovy smoothie!” ben cheered
“oh I love that shop, but is it open?” I asked staring at my watch “it’s like 9 pm”
“it is today, late night” ben
 held my hand and dragged me along untill we came to a bright coloured shop with “GROOVY SMOOTHIE” written at the top.
“hello and welcome to the groovy smoothie, how can I help you?” the lady asked smiling
“I would like are…” ben said thinking and looking over the bright pink menu
“can we pull over and have a little think please?” I asked
“sure” the lady smiled and started scrubbing the desk
“well what do you want?” ben asked

“okay I would like a Caramel swirl please” ben smiled and got out his purse
“mini-lini, midi-dum or a mega-large?” the lady asked
“whoa! Okay a midi-a… di-dum…let’s just say the middle one” ben said getting tongue-twisted
“You?” the lady asked me
“Um… a icy blizz please- mini thanks!” I smiled
“ice?”
“lots!” I laughed
“none” ben said right after
“okey dokey! A midi caramel- no crunch and a mini ice, lots a crunch coming up!” the lady said slightly breathless
“and there’s more!” a cold voice said
“rosella?” I turned around
“and who is this? Your boyfriend? Boy, scott is gonna be happy” rosella sniggered “also sad you missed the dance, it was fun”
“back off rosella!” I shouted as the lady told me to quiet down
“amy, camera- skye, move them” rosella ordered as amy gave rosella her pink camera while skye rushed forward and held ben’s arms and placed them around my hips and turned my frown upside down.
CLICK! The camera flashed just when I was about to run
“too bad, got it picture perfect! Just the way I wanted it- you hugging ben well ben hugging you and you smiling” rosella giggled
“can we just order now” Kathy asked and gave me a I’m-so-sorry-I’ll-try-and-fix-this look
“right, back on task” rosella smiled and lead the p girls to the front desk
“I would like a blueberry beauty because I’m beautiful” rosella smiled sweetly but the lady just looked at her sternly not moving
“please” Kathy added in and the lady nodded
“mini-lini-” the lady started
“mega-large” rosella interrupted rudely
“one mega-blueberry coming up- oh ice?”
“yes please, exactly 10” rosella answered
“right” the lady rolled her eyes and me and ben grinned
“10 ice cubes in, next!“ the lady continued
“Is there still piano sweetheart?” Kathy asked
“no sorry about that”
“oh! Please don’t say sorry, what about musical blast?” Kathy said politely
“you’re a little musician right?” the lady guessed
“yes” Kathy said shyly
“very well, especially for you young lady”
“thank you and no ice- mini” Kathy smiled
“mini-blast on special just for a special guest-no crunch” the lady called out. As the other p girls lined up and ordered. I finally got my drink. I love groovy smoothie especially because that each drink here has a cup designed especially as the drink. I stared at my icy blizz. It had snowflakes on the cup and a swirly straw I get to keep
“what’s your favourite colour?” I asked randomly
“the colour of your drink” ben laughed
“turquoise? Nice!” I replied
“yum! This taste fab” I heard rosella squeal
“wow kath! Love the cup” I commented
“I know right and these were out last month and she made it just for me” Kathy smiled
“the piano keys on the cup is creative” ben added
“thanks!” Kathy thankfully blushed, does Kathy like ben? Time to meddle!
“this is ben, ben this is Kathy” I immediately introduced
“right” ben smiled shyly “oh heres my drink… mmm it tastes like chocolate caramel!”
“my favourite is cherry bliss” Kathy smiled
“really? Mine too!” ben agreed
“wow you guys are perfect for each other- same thoughts…” I said but stopped when Kathy gave me a angry look
“I mean you guys are great friends, you talk, bye!” I rushed and hurried away
“want a taste?” a friendly voice popped in
“collie?” I said surprised. We talked about the dance and the wedding, we switched drinks and did things just bffs would do
“mm! I love the watermelon fizz” I mumbled while sucking
“how cool- the cup’s a watermelon, well not a real one!” collie laughed
“yeah but the caramel swirl is way better” I continued
“eww! The cherry bliss is the best!” collie disagreed
“cherry bliss? No the icy blizz your drinking is cool- get it?” I laughed
“ha ha ha, very funny” collie said sarcastically
“stop the sarcasm!” I said annoyed “ I want my drink back?”
“fine but hey I guess your right the icy blizz is the best” collie smiled
“hey! It’s empty” I shouted
“opps! Might of over drank the sweet ice” collie giggled and snatched the her drink back
“EMPTY?!” collie asked tipping the drink upside down
“hey I can’t resist it” I shrugged
“fine- we are even” collie laughed
“why isn’t scott here!” I hesitated the next morning at school
“he’s probably sick or something” honey explained
“no, he’s probably trying to avoid me” I said freaking out
“no he’s not”
“he is”
“not”
“is”
“not-”
“ENOUGH!” collie shouted waving her hands around
“hey guys!” Kathy popped in
“hey kath, just telling you we were so not having a fight right, honey?” I grinned uneasily
“right, so unobvivious right?” honey mocked
“well I’m having a birthday party and you guys are invited!” Kathy exclaimed
“really?! Awesome!” I  nodded
“where?” honey asked
“groovy smoothie, it’s going to be so fun” Kathy smiled and handed out the invitations
“I didn’t even think there was parties at groovy smoothie” collie said surprised
“yeah same but my mum found out that they have the most awesome parties so I’m in, and they print out invitations for you!” Kathy blasted

“well let’s hope you can come but you know that East wing shopping centre is very far away from out house” mum complained
“please” I begged
“okay fine” mum finally let out
“whoo!” I squealed
“don’t get to excited, your finishing your chores and your weekly homework” dad said
“okay, so when are we going to go shopping for Kathy’s present?” I asked
“look your at home doing homework while me and your mum go out and shop, easy! problem solved” dad explained
“problem is not solved! Why can’t I chose the present for Kathy” I argued
“do you want to go to the party or not?” mum asked
“I do but-”
“so do your homework, go on! Sho sho!” dad laughed as he pushed me into the study room
“arggg!” I shouted with fiery
“look! There is a bright side, ash” dad said after
“huh?” I said confused
“after you do your homework we’ll take you out to groovy smoothie, I know there’s a close one in North sprit shopping centre and we could walk to that” mum smiled
“really! Yes!” I squealed again but more louder
“gosh! My ears are deaf” my dad joked and left the study room with mum
1 hour later…
“mum there it is! Groovy smoothie” I pointed
“wow! A lot of pink! Is it for girls?” dad asked
“no it just looks good” I said and dragged them into the shop
“hello and welcome to groovy smoothie!” a teenage girl welcomed
“yes and can I have a red chilli kiss please” mum said
“are you sure?” the girl asked. What’s wrong with a red chilli kiss?
“yes I’m sure” mum said firmly and handed back the menu
“well if that’s what you want” the girl shrugged “you?”
“oh me! Right… um a fruit juice please” dad said
“that’s for little kids” the girl said with a little giggle. Now this is so embarrassing!
“right… what about a crunchy flake?” dad asked
“that’s a kid choice too” the girl giggled “see the menu where it has rainbow colours in it? Those are all kid choices”
“adult choices?” dad asked
“the blue bit” the girl said helpfully looking at her watch “adults can chose anything but kids area, kids can chose anything but adult area and teenage area and everybody area is like for everybody even though it says teenage area”
“dad! Hurry up!” I whispered
“oh there’s a everybody section!” dad said ignoring me
“okay I made up my mind… water” this is embarrassing!
“water, that’s not on the menu-” the girl started
“he means a juicy squeeze” I cut in
“right away and you?” the girl said thankfully
“a…” I thought aloud
“here’s the teenage area” the girl volunteered

“blueberry beauty thanks” I thanked
“mini-lini, midi-dum or mega-large?” the girl asked
“mini”
“mega”
“mini”
“alrighty! A mini chilli and a mini beauty-ice?” the girl asked
“yes” we answered
“and a mega juice- all ice coming up!” the girl continued
“but I didn’t order a juicy squeeze” dad whispered
“you were too slow” I explained and mum agreed
“totally” mum laughed
“here’s your drinks! Have a lovely day” the girl smiled and started serving some other girl with her mum
“wow now I know why she asked me to think again” mum said tasting her drink
“what’s wrong?” I asked
“it’s nice but a bit spicy- in a good way as in yummy spicy” mum coughed
“you sure it’s not that spicy, I mean I would love to switch” dad asked as he loved spicy and hated his drink
“okay I guess so” mum said and switched the drinks
“mmm! Delicious!” dad smiled rubbing his tummy
“mmm! Malicious!” mum said at the same time “this is disgusting”
“Ashley ordered it” dad blamed at me
“well I had to come up with it before you chose another crazy drink” I said back and poked my tongue at dad “fine switch? you probably will like mine”
“yum! Blueberry” mum exclaimed “and it says on this awesome decorated cup that it make your lips turn blue!”
“it sure does” dad said looking at mum’s lips
“eww! Juicy squeeze shouldn’t be this bad, it’s honey’s favourite flavour” I wondered
“well that girl must have a bad taste” dad joked
“she does not!” I complained
“does so”
“does not”
“does so”
“does not”
“does so”
“does not”
“does so”
………..the next day…………
“where is scott sauders!” I shouted
“probably not coming to school after I sent that picture of you and ben to his email” rosella snickered
“okay I am so sick of you!” I shouted
“what are you going to do about it” rosella asked pretending to be afraid
“I going to… going to…” I said but didn’t know what really to say
“back off and surrender, is that what your going to say?” rosella smiled her sweet smile
“no” I mumbled
“what was that? I couldn’t hear you because your voice is do small it doesn’t deserve to be heard” rosella laughed
“YES IT DOES” I roared
“clam down, Charlie brown” one of the p boys laughed
“good one, ben” rosella encouraged
“that’s it” I said and ran up to her and ripped her award of winning fashion girl of the year she was holding “now that felt good”
“OMG! That girl is the first girl to stand up to rosella sharp, let alone rip her award!” a girl gasped
“I know, she’s so brave to do that” another said
“but she’s in grave trouble” the girl said
“I get it! Brave, grave!” the other girl laughed
“oh no you did-n’t” rosella snapped
“oh yes I di-d” I mocked
“wait for it, sweetie and you’ll regret it” rosella clicked her fingers and lead the p girls away
“wow you showed it to her” a girl said
“can I get your autograph!”
“your so bold”
“my idol!”
“your amazing!”
“you stood up to rosella”
“well done!”
Everyone was clapping and cheering and commenting on how great I was. Even I was really proud I stood up to rosella but I felt wrong to rip that award she must really hate me! She worked so hard to get that award and I ripped it but she did deserve it after all she sent a picture of me and ben casio to his email which he checks every day.
“girl you rocked it!” honey cheered
“wow! You finally shook of the evil spell she put on you” collie grinned
“thanks guys but I feel wrong to rip her award” I said sadly while signing my autograph to another girl
“look! Your famous! The whole school is taking pictures of you and wanting your autograph” honey pointed out
“maybe I should apologise to her” I asked
“no way! She deserves what she gets” collie said
“yeah collie is so right” honey smiled
“but it just makes me full of guilt and guilt makes me feel sick” I complained patting my tummy
“but your not guilty, your innocent!” honey explained
“look honey just let it go…if she really wants to say sorry-let her” collie said at last
“thanks col” I said and hugged collie
“where’s my hug?” honey grinned
“your on my side?” I asked
“I guess so though I loved the moment where you ripped the award” honey smiled
“aww! Thanks” I said hugged my two best friends.
“alright here I go…” I gulped
“we are right by your side!” honey grinned
“no worries” collie smiled. So here I go, ready to say sorry to rosella sharp about ripping that award, I don’t like the idea of it but its whats right! Collie, honey and me walked over to the p girls.
“hey girls…” my voice started but ended soundless
“what?! To afraid to finish that sentence?” skye smirked
“am so! I’m just here to say sorry to rosella” I shouted
“for what?” amy asked dumbly
“for…for” I stumbled
“just say it!” collie pushed
“just get it over with!” honey forced
“keep going” shelly grinned and winked at rosella
“for ripping your award!” I blurted out
“oh!” the p girls gasped
“okay I get it! I didn’t mean to it’s just you have gone to far!” I said to rosella who just blinked
“it’s alright! I didn’t even think you’ll say sorry” rosella smiled nicely
“wow! Bummer! That’s a warm side of you, rosella” I said shocked
“well… I’m really nice to my friends you see I just aren’t nice to others”
 rosella said
“you mean I’m your friend?” I asked confused
“maybe we can forgive each other and become friends…” rosella mumbled
“really?! Yeah sure-wait! On one condition” I stopped
“what?” rosella asked
“I’ll be your friend but I won’t be in the p girls group and also let amy stay away from luke, got it?” I ordered and amy gasped
“you like luke?” amy asked
“no I’m just doing a favour for a friend” I said and winked at a blushing collie
“hummp!” honey coughed loudly (fake)
“also- I need Grady to stop hating honey” I finished
“I guess so” rosella agreed
“well…friends we are then!” I smiled
“totally bff!” rosella smiled and went straight for the hug
“wow so that’s a nice side of her” mum remarked
“I know right! And she even hugged me” I boosted
“I still think something is fishy here” dad thought aloud “think about it, she is your worst enemy at school and suddenly she wants to be friends”
“nothings fishy! I swear that she really wants me to be my friend I complained to dad
“your dad’s right… I read a book and in it there was a saying ‘to win, befriend your worst enemy’” mum explained
“I don’t get that” I said lying on my couch
“it means that if someone wants revenge they be nice to you, be your friend and then when your not worried at all they pull the anchor” mum smiled
“anchor?” I asked
“oh you know…a prank or a humiliation thing” mum nudged
“I’ll watch out but for now I’ll be her friend” I smiled
“also leading to another saying ‘always keep your eye out, never let your predator out of your sight’”
“okay! Enough sayings I get the point!” I laughed but my parents just gave me death stares and I have to say that they are pretty good at it!
Chapter 15- rosella’s final bomb
“CANDY CANES! It’s what Christmas is all about” our class sang
“perfect! Just need to get the voice in tune…in time for the Christmas carols of course!” Miss penny appalled
“so you said we have a few singers and also a few dancers?” rosella questioned winking at her friends “because we love to dance!”
“sure! Why not but you will have to make up moves yourself as I, myself is really busy with the decorations and the choir we need at least half the people in the dance and half the class in the choir” miss penny explained
“totally! I know just the moves so I think that the p girls are in and so is… p boys!” rosella grinned
“I really want to be in the dance” honey whispered
“she might pick you” I smiled uneasily
“me too! I love dancing” collie exclaimed loudly
“you do collie?” rosella crackled “we’ll see about that”
“Ashley! My bff!” rosella screamed hugging me unconvincingly
“right…when were we bff?-” I started
“honey!” rosella smiled and hugged honey too
“weird huh? Fishy” honey whispered
“I don’t think rosella’s up to something, she’s so nice!” I disagreed
“whatever! But if your in trouble at the end, don’t say I didn’t warn you!” honey said angrily and stomped away
“and last but not least…collie!” rosella giggled and gave a relieved collie a sweet smile
“phew!” collie grinned at me wiping her forehead
“so dance group, follow me” rosella ordered and stepped in centre stage and started wagging her hips and doing awesome moves! I think that I’m starting to like that girl. Other people started following too and after 20 minutes the whole group of dancers were wiggling their buts (including me) and going crazy!
“fantastic! Rosella, I have to say… you’re a pretty talented student” Miss penny cheered
“thanks! I was born talented” rosella laughed
“okay so let’s try altogether!” miss penny conducted and waved her hand to start
“Christmas is happiness! Christmas is cheer… all we want is smiles! Happy faces and can-dy canes!” the choir sang lined up all solider straight
Halfway through the song Miss penny signalled the dancers to come in. So we did one by one doing the moves rosella teached us! Suddenly the music stopped and we all looked at The music box. Standing right ne4xt to it was Mr Leech and he was not happy.
“oh hi Mr leech! It’s great for you to join us, we’re singing ‘candy canes’ don’t you love that song! It’s just so sugary sweet! Get it candy cane? Sugary? Sweet?” Miss penny laughed but her face fell when she saw Mr leech cross his arms
“can I have my students back now? Enough practice I think” Mr leech suggested leaving honey with loud groan
“excuse me?” Mr leech stared at honey and becond his class to return to their class.
“so do you like my moves?” rosella smiled
“totally! Where did you learn to do that? Let alone teach us” I thanked
“well let’s try not to boost…I went to dance class since I was three, so I’m a professional” rosella boosted
“so anyway, my friends and family were thinking that it’s fishy that you suddenly want to be friends” I explained
“oh…well you did apologise and that means a lot to me” rosella said  startled
“sorry to startle you- not that my family doesn’t like you it’s just-”
“fishy? It seems so suspicious right?” rosella asked
“yeah I guess” I whispered
“but it’s not…how hard does it have to be to just make friends with someone?” rosella grinned
“not hard at all!” I giggled as we told each other jokes and settled a sleepover
“what about today?” rosella said
“sure- wait sleepover day!” I remembered
“what? Anyway you said sure so it’s settled I’ll be at your house at four, bye!” rosella waved and walked towards the p girls
“but honey and collie?!” I said to myself
RRRIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“After school!” honey smiled and punched her fist in the air
“sleepover at ash’s house” collie agreed jumping onto Honey’s back as collie was the lightest in our grade and very talented at jumping onto peoples backs, legs, backpacks, waist and even shoulders! She’s always first in high jump! I’ll tell you, she’s light and fast, fast as a lighting coming down on full speed. A high jumper too! She’s a sport girl!
“fine I’ll let you have a piggyback, AGAIN!” honey argued but collie laughed gleefully
“I’ll see you there” rosella smiled and hopped in her mother’s Ferrari
“nice Ferrari she got there” honey admired but instead collie started using her brain as she’s the smart one.
“what did she meant as in see you later?” collie asked sternly. Honey seemed to have snapped out of her trance in the Ferrari.
“yeah what was that about?” honey said crossly
“fine I’ll tell you-”
“wait! But first it can never be a sleepover anything is fine but a sleepover” collie added which made things worse
“yeah smart one, coll” honey argeed
“well it’s… defiantly NOT a sleepover and defiantly NOT today” I said nervously
“okay we GET it” collie mocked using the same way I said my sentence
“so let’s get to your house before your mum starts getting worried” honey smiled. PING!
“your phone?” collie asked me but I was too busy worrying so collie was just about to snatch my phone and read it before I grabbed it ( just in time)
“smartypants! Not as smart as me” I laughed
“hey I got A+ in everything and you got B’s and C’s” collie said sticking her nose in the air
“alright! You are the perfect student and the smartest in our grade” I admitted
“thank you, bestie” collie smiled proudly
3:50PM message from Julia Bailey
Heard about the quick change, rosella will arrive any minute, where are you?!
Love, mum
p.s: are you lost? I’m very worried!
“well?” collie asked trying to look at my phone
“uh…sorry sleepover cancelled! Mum said problem at home” I quickly added
“darn it! My place?” honey asked collie but collie was too smart
“something’s going on here, and I’ll find out! Anyway what is the problem?” collie grinned smugly
“uh…bugs?” I thought aloud “yeah, bugs! Heaps and our place is like trashed!”
“show me the message then” collie smiled her sly smile
“I deleted it, I always delete messages after I read it, a habit” I lied
“whatever! I crack you some time! Your place it is, hon” collie said uneasily and left with honey skipping happily. Phew!
“what took you so long?!” mum shouted as the doorbell rang
“at least I came back just in time” I explained opening the door finding a very excited rosella at front step carrying her hot pink backpack
“hey! Toothbrush and paste?” I asked
“check!” rosella silhouetted
“pj’s?” I continued
“check”
“Entertaining stuff?”
“check”
“nail polish?”
“checkmate!” rosella laughed and burst in the house “nice house”
“thanks thought it would be too small for your usual riches?” I asked
“it’s fine, good to be normal again” rosella giggled
“let’s party!” I smiled and turned up the music
We jumped, we bumped, we had our hearts pumped! This night, tonight we’re gonna rock n roll! Dress up, be pampered be treated like a doll. Manicures and pedicures and also shiny hair! We chat, we laugh and share lots a care! Nails? Check! Toes? Check! Hair? Check! Teeth? Check! Beauty? Check! And fun???? CHECK!!!!!!!
“whoa! I’m getting sleepy!” rosella admitted after hours of fun
“I know! And such a professional on manicures and beauty especially my beautiful curly locks you did” I admired
“nice right? Mummy said that curling hair can burn you when your using
the curler but I’m use to it so she let’s me bring it everywhere!” rosella smiled
“mummy?” I laughed
“fine mum” rosella grinned as we crackled up and gave each other tickles like bff’s!
      
HOPE YOU LIKED IT! i will post more when i finish it but now i've started on a new book so enjoy! It's called one million big ones! Where competitors compete for one millionb dollars! the challengers get harder and hadrer! untill there is one left standing!

                         ONE MILLION BIG ONES
Chapter one- starts with a d and ends with a d
“hi and welcome to ONE MILLION BIG ONES! I’m the host of this brand new reality show! As you can see my name starts with a d and ends with a d, David Mylar you can call me Dav. You are here to watch 20 competitors go through life and death just to win…ONE MILLION BIG ONES!” The handsome guy standing on the golden stage smiled he’s polished teeth and winked his sea, blue eyes. The place was called Karawara island, not to mention one of the most dangerous islands of all inclining death vipers, man-eating sharks and other dangerous wild creatures. The damp deserted place soaked with heat sure needed the river around the island as two shiny, white vans stood out from the mess. Though the sun is bleaching on the them and it’s looking a bit yellow from here!
“So it looks like our challengers are here! They may look pretty excited because we accidentally told them they were staying at a 5 five star hotel but that’s not completely true… welcome…CRYSTAL” David smiled uneasily
A teenage girl steeped out of her tiny boat and onto the rusty deck.
“What is this place? Where am I?! Wrong place, sailor” Crystal shouted at the captain of the boat
“he didn’t get it wrong, I’m David you should know me. Hello? Famous”
David laughed
“hello? I don’t really care” The Chocolate-brown haired girl stomped pulling her luggage with her
“Next we have-”
“Puren! I am so excited to be here!” the enormous, unreasonably fat Puren who came jumping off the squished boat of competitors.
“well hello puren! Here’s a idea…STOP HUGGING ME!” David shouted then calmed when the big guy let go but also ending the host to get mashed to the ground
“Well thanks, anyway…I welcome Felicia!” David smiled while fixing his messed hair
“hi y’all! Nice to meet ya! P.S: I’m a farm girl” Felicia recalled wipping her rope in the air
“nice to meet you but were running out of time so get those cowboy boots movin” David said crossly “Next-”
“Emily’s here!” a blonde girl appeared with beautiful long lashes and wavy long hair- but ruined it by tripping over her luggage and falling over David
“uh! Again! How many times do I have to fix my hair, Now we have…Adrian!” David said pretending to smile.
A black haired Asian dude just steeped out of the boat and started typing on his calculator with his glasses on the tip of his nose.
“Now my personnel favourite…drum roll please” David smiled gleefully
As the others banged their feet on the ground “Movie star Scarlet Skye!”
A Golden haired teenager wearing gold tights and thick high heels walked in with a pink Singlet top and a Prada bag with a Chihuahua sitting in it.
Everyone squealed especially David who asked for her autograph.
“so where is the five star hotel?” the girl asked applying lipstick on
“uh…” David wondered worried but then smiled smugly “here’s a reality show and that means no one is a movie star but a challenger”
“does that mean…” The girl thought aloud pulling down her sunglasses
“yes it means your going to be treated exactly like everyone else” David laughed but stopped when he saw that Scarlet was not getting it.
“there is no way I, scarlet skye will not be staying here” Scarlet demanded and left for the boat.
“but you have to, there’s a contract” David grinned
“whatev” the superstar said annoyed and started signing autographs for the others.
“Next we have the muscles! Jake!” David shouted as a blonde stood out showing shirtless with a beach pants and surf board.
“yo what up? I’m so excited to be here” as he showed his 6 pack and all the girls squealed except for scarlet.
“Nice to meet you bro, Here we have Linda!” David announced as a black-haired girl stepped out and waved. Her grey eyes staring at David so keenly.
“Alright 8 competitors here and 12 left to go-”
“Kiki and Koko is here!” A pair of twins who look exactly the same appeared on the deck carrying the exact same bags.
“hey! That’s my job but anyway welcome Kiki and koko!” David continued a bit angrily.
“next we have the total cutie, May!” David shouted grinning
“hi everyone, I’m may!” May smiled wearing a mini skirt and a crop top pulling her pink luggage behind her “eww! Five star resort? Don’t think so”
“I just love it! When you guys think it’s such a great place and it’s not! Moving on we have the gangster, Dlyan!” David posed pretending to play a guitar in mid air. A guy with piercing on his eyebrows, tongue, ears and nose with part black hair and part red hair with a skull head on his black t shirt and cargo pants.
“nice guitar you got there” David pointed as the gangster walked to the others carrying a guitar and a backpack.
“Next we have the four sisters which have a little bit a each season, this is funny! Welcome…Summer! Winter! Autumn! And Spring!” David laughed as four girls walked out, winter wearing a white coat and white tights and weirdly white hair. Summer having ginger hair and wear a grass skirt and a bikini. Spring was wearing a flower crown on her head and a green dress. Autumn was wearing orange sandals and weirdly orange hair with a nice pair of jeans and a leafy shirt full of leaf designs.
“now that is weird huh?” david grinned staring at each sister of the season.
“And we got super tough, Billy!” A red haired boy steeped out and pushed David out of the way and walked to the others who looked a bit scared.
“my hair! AGAIN! Anyway…we’ve got American boy, Ashton!” David smiled as a brown haired, skinny boy walked past typing on his phone.
“And the last two, Andrew and Tom” David smiled and high-fives to each of them. “Now that all the competitors are here it’s time to talk about the show business! This is One million big ones! The show is to win one million dollars! And I these competitors are going to compete for it starting form 20 going down to 1! Now let’s lead them to their cabins and let settle in! Oh and I warn you that the cameras will cacth everything so be careful what you say because it’s on national tv! Everything!” David laughed and lead the group to the two vans.
“Awesome! Bunk beds!” Felicia recalled and pushed the door open
“boys van, girls van go and sort yourself out! Remember, cameras everywhere” David said and leaned on his comfy chair and waited.
“eww! This is 100% full with bugs!” crystal declared looking under beds.
“you are right on that and I still can’t believe that Dav told you to treat me the same, eww!” Scarlet shouted watering with anger.
“Do you think that this caught on camera?” Kiki asked
“totally cameras everywhere” koko replied
“do you guys think the same?” Emily asked dumbly
“dumb blondes” Linda hissed to summer
“I just can’t wait for the snow-wait there is no snow!” winter cried
 “I’m making a new flower crown anyway autumn, want to share a bunk bed?” spring asked while stitching up the flowers.
“sure! I’ll go bottom!” autumn smiled and packed her things on her bed
“Hey Emily, want to go with me?” Linda asked hey grey eyes winking to summer, who giggled
“sure” Emily agreed “can I go top?”
“there is one condition, you have to do what I say! I’m top!” Linda ordered leaving poor Emily to the bottom.
“summer and I are sharing one” winter declared climbing to the top bed.
“I think you two should be together, your both so cute” koko pointed at may and crystal.
“after all he Dav did call me a total cutie!” may smiled and packed her luggage.
“I need pink! Luckily I brought blankets!” The superstar yelled and brought out a new everything. Pink night light, Pink blanket, Love-heart pilliow and a pink small castle next to her for her dog, princess.
“princess! Jump into your castle! And oh here’s your pj’s!” Scarlet smiled giving the little dog a pink mini-sized pj’s. “manicure person? Wait! I’m not back home! Darn it!”
“I can do your manicure for you, I got pink” Emily insisted
“why didn’t you say so then?! Go! Do it!” scarlet ordered as she stuck her feet on the ground and lay princess’s paws down too “do her’s too”
“she’s a dog-” Emily started but scarlet just stuffed a pink tissue in her mouth from her tissue box of pink.
“now that is such a drama queen” Linda hissed
“you’ve been saying quite a lot of mean things, linda” May who was kind and caring said sternly.
“what? It’s true and that puren is like so fat!” Linda continued her dark eyes making may scared.
“what’s with those eyes! They seem to scare everyone!” crystal said crossing her arms.
“they do huh? My secret weapon! You see everyone has a secret weapon, for example Emily is dumb” Linda laughed
“that’s it! You say one more word this total cutie is not going to be cute” May yelled
“take a chill pill!” linda offered and walked away.
Meanwhile at the boy’s van it was totally different! They all love each other like brothers and are enjoying the party they created but not as neat as the girls. Cloths, underwear and pants lying restlessly on the floor while cups of soft drink were spilled over the beds. Curtains were ripped like a tiger would and stinky fumes were travelling through the air around the van.
“this party rocks! Turn up the music!” Jake shouted over the deafening noise.
“we’ve got no music player, to be exact it’s just Dlyan playing his guitar” Adrian explained with his finger acting a performance.
“look nerd, lets just enjoy the party! All your doing is sitting on your clean bed typing on your calculator, get funky man!” Jake laughed and encouraged him to dance. While the others were wiggling their hips and shaking their buts around.
“disgusting” Crystal said getting grumpy
“well then why did we spy on them?” Emily asked
“you know what?! I don’t even know why you are so dumb! The music is so loud and none of them could have brought a music box! Anyway what is 1+1?” Crystal tested.
“monkey!” Emily answered proudly.
“monkey?! Are you boncus! Let’s just report back to the girls” crystal rolled her eyes as they crept back to their van.
“so?” Linda asked sternly forcing Crystal to blurt out by staring her cold, grey eyes into hers.
“alright! There’s a party over there, plus it’s stinky” crystal reported holding her nose in aggression.
“a party? Well that party is going to need some sabotaging” Linda laughed and sneaked off.
“hey! That’s not very nice, think about it! If were having a party and the boys do that to us…how would that feel?” May shouted but Linda had already gone.
“I’m with her, time to get to action” Felicia laughed and wiped her rope around may and pulled her off.
“hey! Help! Someone?!” May yelled as she was dragged to Linda.
“let’s go and see the girls kick but!” Kiki insisted and koko agreed.
“let’s join the fight, sisters” spring declared as the rest of the girls planted themselves next to Linda as she opened a black box.
“what’s that? A sabotage kit” May said sarcastically.
“yeah how did you know” Linda asked surprised as she fiddled with the prank items.
“what?! You mean…” May gulped and looked inside. Sharp scissors, needles, bandagers, A stop watch, chemical fluff, potions and a plastic bottle with several rubber bands tied to.
“you made all that?” Autumn said surprised
“yep, my specialty- pranks!” Linda giggled and grabbed the bottle, poured blue potion in it and added orange fluff. Tied the rubber bands tightly to the side of the van and grabbed squeezer and began to squeeze the pink drop into the bottle.
“step back guys” Linda warned and giggled to herself
“it better not hurt anyone!” may sternly but worried said “also…can you untie me now”
“not now” Felicia said “want to see this!” and left may tied up next to the bottle as Linda moved away.
“hello?! HELLO?! Someone get me outta here!” May screamed.
BBBBBOOOOOOMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bottle exploded and the whole van was smoking from orange gas and May…was orange head to toe, so as the boys inside.
“AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” May exploded and found herself untied by Jake who was orange is well.
“thanks” May smiled staring dreamily at Jake.
“what happened?!” Dav shouted staring at the orange van
“it was Linda” everyone pointed as Linda just shrugged.
“I can’t help it, I’m a mastermind!” Linda continued not caring.
“Felicia tied me up! Left me their to get orange!” May dobbed.
“alright never mind, your first challenge is about to start!” Dav said stiffly
“ooohhh! First challenge!” Emily gasped with excitement.
“The first challenge will be called ‘I replace you’ the point of the game is to play some other competitor. The longest and well-played wins Queen or king which saves them for elimination at the awards ceremony where you all vote off one person” Dav explained.
“easy” crystal smiled.
“no prob” Jake laughed
“what? I didn’t hear you” Emily stumbled
“Go it” May considered
“1670098558497779” Adrian muttered and typed on his calculator.
“I hear you” Ashton said
“will there be food?” puren asked
“whoever plays me must know how to milk a cow” Felicia grinned
“now I would like to play someone-” scarlet started
“I want to play koko!” kiki insisted,
“and I want to play kiki” koko sternly ordered.
“we want each other” the four sisters said together
Andrew and tom just had blank looks on their faces.
“so I’m going to nickname you all in this game starting with crystal! Grumpy know it all”
“you got that right, I’m always the smartest but grumpy? Really?!” Crystal smiled but looked sad about the ‘grumpy’ bit.
“and one of you will play the know-it-all. Felicia, cowgirl” dav said easily
“simple but okay” Felicia admitted.
“then dumb blonde! Which you guys know who it is” Dav said staring at Emily who was painting her nails. “The super star which is scarlet and the mastermind, Linda”
Linda sniffed and crossed her arms as Scarlet just gave princess a treat.
“does that mean my dog has to go to the person whose playing me?” Scarlet asked
“yes, but you don’t have to lend them your cloths or something, just give them what you have, like a calculator, dog, nail polish and your favourite things” Dav explained “kiki and koko will be called the twins”
“yay!” they squealed
“may your called tough cutie” Dav laughed as may did a triple somersault and finished with a dazzling kick in the stomach for dav.
“I’m cute alright! But tough…totally right!” May smiled pleased as dav dropped to the ground in pain.
“next-the-season…oww! Sisters” Dav winced.
“awesome!” the sisters smiled.
“Next we have the balloon- no offence Puren” Dav laughed putting a ice pack on his stomach.
“no offence taken! I always wanted to be a balloon!” Puren jumped excited.
“The nerd, Adrian. Muscles, Jake! Gangster, dyl! Gossip boy, ashton!” Dav introduced as ashton typed on his phone (probably gossiping!) “And…the blank looks!”
“huh?” Andrew wondered having a blank look on his face.
“huh?” Tom repeated after him.
“so this is my assistant, Lady Catherine! My grandma to make it simple” Dav smiled as a old wrinkly lady stepped out of the shadows.
“who are they?” Catherine asked angrily
“Gran! They are-”
“wow! They are the-”
“competitors!” Dav finished “now the hat of names”
“hat of names?” Crystal asked as the old lady passed Dav a old top hat.
“no questions! And crystal will be replacing…” Dav sticked his hand in the hat and pulled out a ripped paper while seeing Crystal crossing her fingers.
“Well your gonna just love this one…” Dav smiled mischievously.
“just say it already!” Crystal demanded.
“as you wish, ANDREW!” Dav shouted seeing the “o” crystal’s mouth was making.
“starting from now? Okay” Crystal smiled and went into a blank look “easy peasy!”
“japenesy, lemon squessy!” Emily continued while everyone stared at her “what? She didn’t finish it”
“Anyway, Felicia! Your turn” Dav grinned.
“hey why didn’t I get to pick my own-” Crystal complained but was stuffed with a cookie in the mouth by Catherine.
“hmm…there is a rough paper…also a big one…hmm-” Felicia fiddled in the hat.
“just hurry up!” Dav argued impatiently and picked one out for her.
“Linda? Wait I’m playing Linda! Ye-how! Wait I mean this” Felicia fixed staring her eyes coldly at dav.
“Emily, all yours” Dav smiled but his face fell as he saw Emily painting her nails-AGAIN!
“HEY DUMB BLOND!” Dav shouted
“huh?” Emily asked but then realised it was her turn and closed her eyes and stuck her painted-hand into the hat. “I got Jake!”
“Well the game starts now, you know” Dav helped as Emily nodded and showed her muscles.
“My turn right?” scarlet asked sternly.
“I was going to ask May but okay” Dav said and gave her the hat.
“hmm…Not Emily-defiantly not the boys-”
“Hey no looking!” Dav snapped.
“FINE! But Princess has to chose!” Scarlet demanded as she let her dog sit in the hat.
“thanks princess! DYLAN?!” Scarlet sreamed and stomped away with her dog following her.
“alright my turn! Autumn-how hard can that be?” Linda smiled and walked off.
“Kiki and koko?” Dav asked looking around
“were here” Kiki popped out and pulled a piece of paper out “Puren”
“eww! I hope I get a decent one-Tom! Eww!” Koko argued but sadly turned her face into a blank look.
“May?”
“finally! Yes! Scarlet” May smiled leaning over to pick up princess “hey little doggie! Prada bag please?”
“summer”
“ashton?” summer asked annoyed and snatched his phone away from a angry-looking ashton and started angrily typing.
“Winter”
“may! I’m a cutie! But I’m not tough…” Winter smiled uneasily but skipped off.
“Autumn”
“let’s see…SPRING!” Autumn danced happily taking Spring’s flower crown off her.
“hey my crown! Whatev! Koko-not bad” Spring said.
“not bad? Pretty bad! You have to think exactly the same as who plays Kiki!” Dav reminded her.
“I got Felicia!” Puren laughed
“you know how to milk a cow?” Felicia asked.
“Emily? The dumbo! But I’m smart I can’t play her!” Adrian insisted
 “want to be eliminated?” Dav asked
“no”
“then you’ve got to play her, BTW hope you’re a good nail-polish painter” Dav joked.
“Adrian…right” Jake said sadly.
“crystal! Fine” Dylan angrily said staring hard at crystal who giggled.
“kiki!” Ashton smiled as Spring groaned.
“summer” Andrew blankly said as summer gave him a grass skirt.
“winter” Tom said blankly as winter wraooed her warm coat around him.
“okoey dokey let’s let this started!” Dav shouted cheerfully as the others Groned. “next time on ONE-MILLION-BIG ONES! The first challenge will start! I’m David and stay tuned to see who wins the first challenge”
CHAPTER 2: I replace you
“looks like our challengers are having a bit of trouble!” David laughed looking at the chaos around. “anyway your back at ONE-MILLION-BIG ONES! Here we have our competitors replacing other competitors! so let’s have a look at how their going”
“uh…” Crystal blankly said “this is boring!”
“what did you say Andrew? What is boring?” Dav laughed
“huh?” Crystal fixed and wiped her forehead with a little ‘phew!’ under her breath as Dav left.
“well well! Isn’t it the cold eyes! How are YOU doing?” Dav giggled at Felicia.
“stop the laughing and BTW your hair is just eww!” Felicia said crossly staring her eyes at Dav.
“your pretty good feli- I mean Linda” Dav corrected and moved on.
“hello tom! Why are you laughing? I thought you only knew how to look blank” Dav questioned as Koko gasped.
“I mean- huh?” Koko smiled uneasily.
“better” Dav smiled and looked over at Emily who was struggling on Jake’s surfboard.
“Hey Jake what up?” Dav laughed
“yo what up?” Emily pretended as she fell in the water.
“good work!” Dav appalled and gave her a helping hand.
“thanks!” Emily smiled wiping off the water but then suddenly corrected herself “I’m fine! I just love surfing!”
“yeah…that’s a great manly voice you got there, SOUNDS LIKE A GIRL, FIX IT!” Dav shouted.
“Hello gangster! How’s that guitar sounding?” Dav smiled as Scarlet was stringing the chords.
“good Dav- I mean dude” scarlet said pretending to act like Dylan.
“play me something dyl” Dav tested.
“luckily I’m a pop star and I know how to play” Scarlet whispered to herself.
“what’s that?” Dav asked
“nothing but music’s coming!” Scarlet said in a very unconvincing Dylan voice.
LA LA LA! DAN DE BAN BAN!!!!!!!
“We’re goin to ROCK THIS WORLD!” Scarlet roared playing the guitar while on her knees.
“impressive!” Dav admired “she really has that advantage of being Dylan and knowing music!”
“here princess! I SAID COME HERE!” May screamed
“something wrong?” Dav popped in.
“yes! This stupid dog is obviously still thinking of it’s owner, Scarlet- me! I mean me!” may corrected while putting Princess in the polished bag and scooted away also tripping on Linda (not used to high heels like scarlet).
“arghhh! May! I mean scarlet” Linda fixed seeing Dav approach.
“I just love autumn! Love the leaves…and the…leaves?” Linda said thinking of something to say other than leaves.
“well I’ll let you think about that while we move on!” Dav laughed looking at Linda’s worried face but what he didn’t see is Linda grinning with a totally different face when Dav left.
“I love food, gimme that pie your holding! NOW!” Kiki screamed at Dav who was just about to bite in the pie.
“oh you want it? The pie? Hmmm…if you do 16 laps around the flied” Dav grinned.
“Puren would do anything to get his food” Kiki said bravely and rushed off into her first lap.
Tap tap click di tap “oh come on out of battery” summer said in disgust looking at Ashton’s phone.
“Ashton would to anything to tweet and chat about this place so ashton why aren’t you doing much?” Dav asked.
“I was going to-fine but how do I know where Ashton’s Battery thingy is?” Summer glared.
“you juust totally blew your cover, summer” Dav laughed
“I did not!”
“did so”
“did not”
“did so!”
“did not!”
“did not!!!”
“did so!!!”
“DID NOT!!!” Summer screamed.
“jezz take a chill pill” Dav huffed and left the full-tempered summer.
“her anger probably gets angrier at summer, get it?” Dav joked while seeing Winter trying to do a karate kick like may does.
“hi-ah! Owwch! Hi-aaaahhhh! More OWCHH!” Winter wimped while landing on her bum.
“you okay may? I see you do triple flips all the time can you-”
“you wouldn’t” Winter interrupted
“oh I would, just watch me” Dav laughed and continued the sentence.
“Can you perform a triple flip for me, may?” Dav tested.
“well I’m not losing so easily” Winter whispered to herself and ran up-BBBOOOMMMMBBB!
“OWCH! That must have hurt, well let’s get her a bit of time to recover” Dav said kindly not that he meant it at all.
“Spring mind to make me a flower crown your wearing?” Dav said smugly.
“umm…my hands are really tired…wait a sec would you” Autumn said politely and rushed behind the tolients as Dav waited.
“Spring…hello? HELLO?!”Autumn whispered.
“yes? Want me to make you a flower crown? Only if you share the million bucks with me if you win, k?” Spring asked carefully
“you got that right and you know I always keep promises” Autumn smiled but after spring gave her the crown “sucker! I said that I always keep promises but I never said that I promised you did I?!”
“argh! I’ll get you back for this! Oh yes I will! You just wait” spring pointed as autumn gave dav the crown.
