Age 7

I wake up to the loud blaring noise of my alarm. I sit up groggily rubbing my eyes trying to get the sleep out of them. I can hear mom working in the kitchen and wonder what's for breakfast...I slowly get out of bed and brush my teeth.

After brushing my teeth and wearing my dress since mom likes me to wear them, with a sweater, I go to the kitchen and ate my breakfast. Yumm...I love pancakes..

I see my father watching last night's game so I gobble up my pancakes and go to sit near him. He changes the channel to Hannah Montana. "Hey! I wanted to watch that" I tell him, "oh come on dear, I know you like Hannah Montana, it's ok I'll watch the game later." He replies.

He thinks I'm saying that so that he can watch the game?
" But I like to watch-"  I say but I'm cut off by my mother calling me to come outside as the carpool had arrived to take me to school.

I'll have to watch the game later. "Bye mom! Bye dad!" I call.

I climb the car and greet my friends. "Hey Jake! Hey Zia!" I say, smiling, "hey!!" they chorus. We talk about random things while going to school.

We greet the teacher and sit down. " Good morning Mr.Henderson" everyone says.

"Morning class!" He replies , "today we are going to do an activity. So could all the boys please help me lift all the chairs and tables to the corner?"

"Sir..can I help you too?" I ask, "oh it's quite all right, the boys will help me do this in no time" he said.

Huh...Maybe he'll ask us the next time. Mr.Henderson all offers us a crayon and tells us to choose the colour we want. I, of course, pick green, my favorite colour.

Zach comes up to me and says," Hey Ava! Give me the green! Why don't you take purple or pink.." ,

"Because I like green" I reply easily. "That's not possible cause you're a giiirrl." He sings in a high pitched imitation of my voice. "Yeah like that matters" I reply indignantly.

"Everybody settle down" I hear Mr.Henderson say. So, being the mature people we both are, we stick our tongue out at each other and sit down on the carpet.

We follow the instructions given and complete our activity which was quite fun Finally, the bell rings and we all rush out to the playground...

The playground has to be one of my favorite places. We have so many things to so and lots of space to play soccer.

I love soccer. I love the way we get to control the ball using our feet, the thrill when getting a goal and running with all my friends. Also, I myself am not too bad at the game, that of course, in the modest way possible.
Zia, Jake, Austin, Percy, Ronald and I played soccer till the bell rings.

Fortunately, my team won.

After school

It's finally time to go home. I look around for mom because today was her turn for the carpool.

I catch a whiff of some smoke. I wonder where that's coming from. I look around. I see a beggar burning fire to provide heat in this chilly weather.

I really wish I could give him a coat. Maybe I'll ask my dad if has an old coat which I could give him...I spot mom and wave her over.

We all climb into the car after finding my friends. "Hey mom?" I ask, "yes?"she replies,
"does dad have any old coats? There was a beggar near the school today who was burning trash because of the cold...." I asked,

"He might...... but, I'm not sure whether or not I want a good girl like you to be associated with such people" she answers,
"What kind of people?" I ask very confused.

"You know.. like..umm...him. Oh look Zia and Jake here is your stop"she said.

We say our goodbyes and drive home. But I still couldn't stop wondering what she meant by 'such' people....

Maybe one day I'll find out.

Im sorry for yet another horrible chappie..

*says I'm sorry till I faint from exhaustion*
Stay tuned!
