He stared at the monitor; his face was lit up by the light from the screen. The room was dark, the hum of the machine was the most dominant noise in the room. He twisted in his seat trying to find a comfortable position. The wires prevented him from ever finding a comfortable spot but still he tried. No luck. A small beep from the computer focused his attention, it was beginning. He spun around and tapped a few keys on the keyboard with no hesitation. The sirens were flaring above his head now. "No, no, no!" he cried unwrapping the key hanging around his neck and injected it into a small slot. There was a hiss and a puff of smoke coming from the safety deposit across the room. With superhuman speed he raced to the small door. Inside the box was a large red button that said in thick black letters "EJECT". His clenched fist plummeted down onto the button. Suddenly the sirens stopped, the flashing lights faded and all that could be heard was the huffing and puffing of his breath. He gripped the desk for support and slowly made his way over to the machine sitting atop the desk. With shaky hands he pulled down the lever and two slightly burnt pieces of toast sprung out of it. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

5A
I'm very giddy right now. Not only did I receive a 5 for my writing sample this term but I got a 5A!!
"You're kidding right?" I said too shocked to show any expression. Richard shook his head. I looked back down at the 5A written on my story. I swiveled in my seat to See Rose and Mrinali watching me anxiously. I nodded at them grinning. "You got a 5?" Rose asked me mouth agape. "I got a 5A." I said. Mrinali threw away her pencil and Rose stood up so suddenly, the chair fell to the ground. I was feeling very giddy indeed.
HAKUNA MATATA!! :DDD

A couple of ground rules for a city in my current story
1. No shoes on Tuesdays
2. When meeting someone new you must get down onto your knees and say “Olah Lolah”
3. Always wave with your left hand
4. Animals smaller than a cat are forbidden in the city
5. The colour orange is forbidden
6. Children must say “Hiya Y'all” when greeting an acquaintance
7. Green pants are forbidden
8. None shall speak foully of the King
9. None shall venture outside of territory unless with special orders.
10. None shall speak of Exportius Fatimi
And maybe one more... How about part two to my writing sample?
One afternoon when House was watering the gardens he spotted a young girl peeking at the house through the trees. She tugged on her mother’s shirt and pointed to the house. The mother scolded her daughter and kept walking down the track. The girl glanced at the house once more before scampering after her mother.
House had seen many people walking in the forest before, so the little girl was certainly not the first. He did not expect her to return until he felt a knock on the front door a few days later. “Hello? Is anybody home? Hello?” the girl called out pounding her chubby fist on the front door. She moved over to stare through the window having to wipe it with her sleeve, for her breath fogged up the glass. She gazed at the kitchen for a minute then resorted to kicking around a pebble. She nonchalantly looked up at the chimney then back down at her feet. She tottered over to the door and reached up, high above her head, turned the doorknob with both hands and simply let herself in. Just like that.
I think that will do..

I haven't had a writing lesson for a while now (a while now, a while now, a while now). That echo was there to emphasize the long time it has been since my last writing lesson.
I do my writing lessons with Richard so I am one of the "lucky" people who has to write an Explanation, an Argument and a Narrative.
I wrote my Argument on why water bottles are better than glasses (the drinking type). I did finish it but I was/am still having trouble finding the perfect finishing sentence.
I began a narrative about a time travel murder mystery near the beginning of the year with Merren and Gabrielle but I don't think we'll be able to finish that in time. I'm going to see if I can use my House story.
And for my Explanation, well I wrote about that in one of my previous blogs.

My Booky Wook
My Favourite booky wook at the moment is... Drumroll please "badadadaddadadadda" THE GONE SERIES BY MICHAEL GRANT!!! *faint* Gone is so amazingly fabulous because of everything. It makes be laugh, gasp, laugh, cry (not really), laugh more, and sometimes it makes me so disgusted I want to go vomit. So basically this book is my Heaven.
I have always wanted to write a story as great as Gone but my stories seem to be a cockroach compared to the dragon Michael Grant has invented.
Here's a list of the five best books/series of all time (no exceptions)
In first place comes Gone!
Coming closely in second place is The Sisters Grimm
Third Place is Harry Potter
Fourth Place, The Knife of never letting go
And last but not least in fifth place is The Hunger games
