Sing-Song

"Are you nuts?" I gaped at Stefani. She nodded and repeated to me, "A song- by Tuesday," I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A song- by TUESDAY! Tuesday is like two nights away. And I still don't have a single song for Stefani. She nodded and told me a different thing, "You know the thing is, I have to perform a song on our high school's Dance Night," she started. I shivered. "And since it's a Dance Night, I want it to be a funky, dancey, keeps-everyone-in-the-mood song. I'll give you a list after the last class. Oh-o! Bell rang, gotta go to history class!" she ran out, humming a song. By the time it was home time, my eyes were weary. Really weary. Stefani came out, thudding from the stairs. She held out a paper to me in the noisy hallway at the locker, where I was at. "Here's the list- Whatever it says you have to contain, you must do it!" she pointed out and skipped away outside.

I got home, looking at the list, groaning. There are like a thousand things it 'must' contain. It went like this:

Song must be called Everlasting Dance

Song has to be dancey, keep-everyone-in-the-mood and groovy.

Deanna Michaels is making the dance moves because she goes to hip hop classes.

It has to contain guitars, petrol drums, pop keyboard and a DJ (Maybe a piano once I hear it and it sounds good enough for a piano.)

Make sure you and Deanna agree on the dance moves that I and my girls are going to dance.

The tune must be pop, not classical or rock or opera- POP

You have to rehearse to me on Saturday. Meet me at the Colinals Dance Studio by 10.

You have to also…

Yala! This is a lot to think about. Doesn't Stefani know that I can only play piano, pop keyboard, trumpet and classical guitar? (Well, she didn't mention what kind of guitar it has to be.) I told mum about this tangy mess and she said she'd help me write the song. NOOOOOOO! No way will mum be helping! But I gotta admit that she is good at playing trumpet but I just said, "You can help out on the headphones and vocals and computer thingy migigy things," Mum got back to watching TV on the coach. I sat on the piano chair and played something that I know. Mozart is my kind of thing but that's classical. What about Guizena? She is a romantic pianist but I remember that Stefani wanted it all poppy and dancey. "Omigod," I whispered under my breathe. "Omigod…" I needed some help. I called out Deanna to come over to my house. You know the girl with all the speckles and she uses textures to cover her forehead so she looks like a hippy? OK, I know you don't know her but she is ringing the doorbell…

"Nooooo!" Deanna yelled above the piano music playing. I froze my fingers. "It has to be poppy as Stefani said! Piano is for classical. Get the guitar and hurry!" It was 4:21 after school on Friday. I was worn out by all the errors and stuff caused by Deanna. I got out my classical guitar of out the case in a hurry. Oh, and I also received a zipper cut from the case. I wrapped around a bandage quickly before Deanna could go off with her horrid, glass breaking screams. I can't believe it. We haven't even written down the lyrics. I placed my left hand on the nut and started playing my favorite guitar chord. "Hey that's pretty nice," admitted Deanna, who stopped dancing. "Record it with the headphones!" I called out mum to help me out with the cords. I didn't want to get another bleeding cut. "You made a mistake!" said mum, turning the vocal off. "Start again. Ready?" I nodded. Then she said in the mike, "Guitar chords- take two," That was the one with no mistakes at all. "It sounds good. Now all you need to do is the pop keyboard, petrol drums, the DJ and remember Stefani said that you could do the piano in background," Mum reminded me. I groaned and plopped on the recording chair. I forgot about those things! I decided to get started with the pop keyboard right away. Mum left the room because she doesn't want to be stuck in a stuffy recording room with dusty instruments. It is very hard to explain how to use a pop keyboard. A pop keyboard has two layers. Oh, forget about it! When I finished, I recorded it on the headphones separated from the guitar chords and put them together. It sounded great. I looked at the list. I still have DJ and petrol drums to go and piano. I walked in the piano room and saw Deanna doing belly dance moves. When she saw me she cried, "Hey Ruby! How about this dance for the song. If it's everlasting dance we can do_" I interrupted her saying, "OK, OK! Just do it and let me see the dance if matches to my half-music finished," She started to dance, ridiculous, horrible belly dance moves. She took off her shirt and everything and danced in her bikinis and underwear! The moves were yucky. Like, shaking your chest at first and then, she started to swing her bum to side to side for like, four times and then swinging her head around like an insane person. Next she did kick her leg, but with her bum moving. Ick! The next part was like OMIGOD!!! She collapsed to the floor purposely and shook her bum in the air saying, "It's an everlasting dance___." What? Did she make up the chorus or one line without me? Next, she sprang up and shook her hair. "Do you like it?" she smiled, still with her bikinis on. I didn't know what to say. Honestly, it was not good at all. "Can you get changed first, Deanna? The changing rooms are next to the kitchen," I said quickly, not looking at the horrible sight of her. She went and I blew a sigh of relief. What a dance! When she came back she told me an 'idea'. "Look, how about the DJ says a rap and then, Stefani could sing and dance. She can sing, 'Everlasting dance___' every verse after the DJ plays." She told me. OK, Hindu Mcduff was the schools very best DJ's so he can do it. But I don't think I like the dance at all. The teachers are going to be disgusted and say to me, "Ruby, that dance you and Deanna made up was crap and pathetic!" I don't get humiliated by teachers. I didn't want to be busy like this so I just said, "OK." Even though everything is not OK. When Deanna left, I finished the piano background music into a low bass tune. I recorded it. As I listened it sounded horrible and stupid with the guitar and pop keyboard. The piano thing I did sounded jazzier- not pop. But for once, who cares? It's just background stuff. I couldn't do the petrol drums, so I cheated. I downloaded a drum beat from the internet and recorded it. When I put all of the instruments together, everything sounded good except for the piano. I decided to tell Stefani tomorrow at the studio that the music had to be a little more quiet than usual. I started doing vocals. I can't do it. Plus I hate rapping. I'm not good at the stuff. But LUCKY I recorded the sound of Deanna singing it before she left. So as I put the instruments and vocals together, it sounded better with the music soft. The only thing is that it didn't match the dance from Deanna. My music was normal her one was… steamy. I just sighed and burnt it on a CD, ready for tomorrow.

"Why?"

"Because it sounds better that way," I told Stefani about the song. She seemed happy about it as she listened to it. I hated it. "Hindu, ready. Make it good." Then, horrible rehearsal. Deanna already showed her the moves this morning. I couldn't stand the sight of it. After the 2 mins and 30 sec song, Stefani looked shallow and told Deanna that she didn't appreciate the dance or the song. Then she told me everything's good except for the DJ and low music. "That was Deanna's idea," I pointed out. Then I turned to Deanna. "Let's change a few bits. The music is fine. Let's change the dance, rap and words into a sing-song. Not a rap. "I said to Deanna. Then told her we shouldn't even have a rap. Hindu looked disappointed and took off his headphones and scattered away. Stefani looked hopeful. Then Deanna screamed, "I quit this job!" it echoed through the entertainment hall. "I'm telling Tom that I quit being this schools dancer! OBSERVE!" then, she closed the door with a slam. I groaned, thinking I should start again. Stefani and I sighed. What are we going to do? "Let's make the words float a bit. Poppy, but softly," Finally Stefani said. And it turned out to be great! The song was poppy and smoother. Tuesday is the day…

Wonderful Wishes 3#- Chapter One

Wonderful Wishes 3# - Cousin's City

If you haven't read Wonderful Wishes 1#- Magical Wishes please scroll down and read from the start so you understand the story!

Lindsey's cousin, Clara, (Who is not magical, just bratable.) keeps ruining everything! Lindsey is staying at America for half of the year, going school there. Clara, as being a cry baby and a brat, gets Lindsey angry enough to turn her into a bug! Will these two pests make everything up?

Chapter One

It was a lovely sunny morning. Lindsey Waters woke up in the top bunk. Clara was in the second bunk. I'm really looking forward for this stay, thought Lindsey. Aunt Simimie's things are soooooo old fashion! She looked from the bottom bunk. Her cousin Clara was there, sleeping softly. Her snores were little and calm, she also had a stuffed up rabbit in her arms. Lindsey smiled. It felt weird not to be with her best magical friend Kat again, but at least she had her cousin. But, it was also hard starting a new school. Though no one knew her secret, she had powers, same as Kat and permanently owned Dragon Fire. Kat owned Mermaid's Powers. Clara knew her secret, which was good so Lindsey wouldn't feel so personal. The trouble is, Clara's mum and dad, didn't know. Suddenly, Lindsey remembered something- The Charm Spell! She quickly got up without a sound and got dressed. She didn't want anybody watching while she does the Charm Spell. Not even Clara. "Hi, Linds!" Clara yawned from the bottom bunk. "Hello, Clara," said Lindsey, her back to Clara, getting two white candles, a piece of paper and one black felt tip pen. "I'm going to the bathroom." Admitted Clara, opening the door. Lindsey nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Time for the Charm Spell… Before she began, she closed the door, confused, because there was no lock. Lindsey groaned. Clara will be here any minuet! She quickly used her magic without thinking. "Door lock!" she recited, sweating, putting out her palm, hoping it will lock. It did. Lindsey smiled and got started. First, she lighted two candles then- "Open up, Lindsey! I need to get Roger the Rabbit and I need to get changed!" she suddenly heard Clara's voice, banging on the door. "Just a second!" cried Lindsey, quickly writing the name Jafra's USA Catholic School down with her black pen on the piece of white paper. "Open UP!" cried Clara, still banging. "Lindsey!!" Lindsey shouted back, "I need to change! And it'll take a while because I'm wearing my new dress!" she lied. Then she quickly recited a spell out loud: For this I say, give me some luck today!

She repeated it five times when Clara starting thumping down the stairs, crying. "Oh no! She's telling Aunt Simimie!" gasped Lindsey.

Chapter Four

"Mum! Can I go outside with Flame in the pool?!" asked Kat excitedly, as she arrived home with a bang. "Of course you can, Katty! Just make sure Flame doesn't burn up the pool area!" shouted Kat's mum from the living room. Kat found her bathers and wore them. She didn't need goggles, as she is a mermaid (Remember, it's not the mermaid with a tail. Check Wonderful Wishes- Magical Wishes to check out what it really means. If you don't know, you SHOULD'VE READ FROM THE START!!!) She can breathe underwater and make forms in bubbles. It was nearly dusk, so Kat jumped in with Flame and swam. Kat dived right inside the water, breathing gently. She used her magic in the pool, where no one could see. She made bubbles, made her in a big bubble. Then, she blew bubbles from her mouth to the surface of the water. Flame thought she was a fish! She also did summersaults and flips in the water. Magic is really useful, she thought. And a lot of fun, remembering the time she made Miss. Dell's whole office messy, it had been really funny. Kat thought she was the luckiest girl in the world with awesome magic like this. That night, Lindsey called. "Dragon Fire is cool!" Lindsey kept saying. "I can throw fire balls at anyone or anything whenever I like." Kat fixed her nails. "Bye Linds. I have to go now. See you tomorrow at Magic World. I'll be there at seven!"

Chapter Three

As cheeky as a monkey, Kat giggled and recited a spell out aloud and whoosh! All Miss. Dell's papers went flying everywhere. She laughed. Next, Flame did something shocking. He went up to the fan and blew it on fire! Kat laughed in spite of Flame. She used her main water powers to put out the fire that made the fan all soggy. Once she pulled out her palm, water will come out. (Of course you know she is a mermaid_ not the one that has a tail! Remember, they can breathe underwater! Read Wonderful Wishes 1# Chapter 1 in Magical Wishes.) Next, she pulled out one finger, and whoosh again, under Miss. Dell's chair was all wet. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and looked at the clock. It was almost over ten minutes! "For the finishing touch!" she smirked and again, pulled out one finger, recited a spell, and water watered out from her finger, into Miss. Dell's chair. Kat giggled. Oh-o! Miss. Dell is unlocking the door! She quickly got into the 'Naughty Chair' and placed her hands on her head. Then, she looked at the clock. One more minuet to go! After that, she looked at Miss. Dell's desk and floor, which was full of her papers she messed up. Soon, Miss. Dell came in, carrying sheets of addition work. Flame had already got in Kat's bag. Kat was trying very hard not to giggle. "What is this mess?!" screeched Miss. Dell, pointing to her desk and chair and fan. Kat shrugged and made innocent looking eyes. "Oh no! All my PAPERS ARE MIXED UP!" Screamed Miss. Dell. "Right, go to outside. It's lunch. OK? But I'll need to call a cleaning service…" Miss. Dell said, puffing.

"You really did that?" asked Lindsey, surprised. "I don't think that you're that cheeky, like me and Flame!" Kat shrugged. "Me neither. I have to put Flame at home, safe. Where he won't get into any more trouble!"

Chapter Two

Kat's trouble with Flame started straight away. She had trouble putting him in her bag. He just wouldn't. "Come on, Flame!" Kat whispered worriedly, as she was trying to drop him in her bag. "Mrs. Harrid will come in soon!" Lindsey sighed. "Kat, let me help," she whispered a spell that got Kat kind of confused: 'Dragon's Fire, make my desire, come true!' Soon, Flame looped in Kat's bag with no problem, just a bit of fire flames. "You've burnt my bag, you naughty Flame!" joked Kat. "Who burnt your bag? Flame?" asked Emma Hughes, who was sitting behind her, chewing bubble gum. Kat gave her a glare and turned back to Mrs. Harrid. "Get out your math books. Turn to page 12!" growled Mrs. Harrid. Kat scribbled on a piece of paper: What spell was that? And passed it to Lindsey. But as she was, Flame leaped his head out of her bag, and blew fire on the note. "Ouch!" cried Kat loudly and dropped the note, which shimmered to ashes. Lindsey smirked and stepped on the ashes, so Mrs. Harrid will not see. "What on Earth is going on, Kat?" asked the teacher. "Haven't you been paying attention at all?" growled Mrs. Harrid. So, unlike Lindsey, Kat told the truth. "No, Mrs. Harrid. I wasn't, but I think I have to go to the bathroom, Mrs." Said Kat quietly. "I think you need to go to the principal's office and stay there until the end of math doing nothing!" glared Mrs. Harrid. "Out, now!"

Poor Kat! She has never been sent to the Principal's office before! She had no choice except to take her bag, with Flame in it so he wouldn't get into any more trouble. She first knocked on the Principal's door. Then, she opened it. Explaining to Miss. Dell what she was here for, got Miss. Dell in furious rage. "Sit on the Naughty Chair with your hands on your head for ten mins. Then, you will tell me when time passes and get this addition worksheet to do!" raged Miss. Dell. Kat could hear Flame, struggling to get out of her bag, but with a zip, Flame couldn't. After only one min of hands on her head, she couldn't wait another min. "Miss," she said quietly. "May I stop?" It was scary. "No! You have 8 more mins. I have to go get Mrs. Harris to do something!" Then, Miss. Dell left in a flash. Kat could finally put her hands off her head. Then, she got out Flame. "Hi Flame!" she whispered gleefully. Usually, she wasn't as naughty as Lindsey, but she just felt cheeky to the teachers. It was time to mess up Miss. Dell's room.

(If you haven't seen Wonderful Wishes 1#, scroll down until you see the title: Wonderful Wishes-Magical Wishes 1# so you can get the story. Make sure you read chapter 5 too!)

Kat was thinking about getting a pet. But don't be fooled. She doesn't just want an ordinary pet to look after. She wants a pet from Magic World. She has a black cat called Gemmy that she bought from Magic World. But she wanted another pet. But who'd know that this 'pet' would get her into heaps of trouble. Also, Lindsey finds out that she is a fairy, which puts a bomb in the next book…

Chapter One

"Hey, Linds!" hissed Kat sharply to get Lindsey's attention. "Can you come with me to Magic World to buy me a Magic Pet? I'd die for one!" There were in the middle of a history class lesson. Lindsey bit her lip. She already got sent to the principal's office for talking to Kat and just before that she got in big trouble for teasing Billy Frocker, a boy with giant freckles. I don't wanna get in trouble again! Thought Lindsey. So she ripped a page from her exercise book and scribbled on it: At lunch OK? We can only be gone for one hour and forty five mins. Kat read the note and smiled. "Ring!" the bell rang ten minutes later. The two girls orbed to Magic World in the Lab Room. The Lab Room was usually dark with no lessons until Thursday. "Let's go to Hailey's Magical Pets!" gasped Kat, when she caught her eye on a beautiful pink and white unicorn and fire breathing baby dragon. Lindsey sighed. Time to face her arched enemy.

"Hello Kat!" Hailey Summers smiled at Kat. Hailey Summers was a young teenage girl who graduated from Magic Jibbers College. When she saw Lindsey, she rolled her big green eyes. Then she turned to Kat. "What do you need?" she asked sweetly. "Can I look at the baby dragons first?" asked Kat ideally. "Sure! We have eleven baby dragons and one fully grown dragon." Objected Hailey. Kat nodded and looked at the dragons in the cages. "They are all so cute. But I want a dragon; I suppose I have to choose this little male jester. She's so cute with the big innocent eyes!" Said Kat. Next, they looked at the unicorns. There was only two more because everyone knows that unicorns are very rare animals. "I like both of them: The one with black coat and blue mane and the one with pink coat and blue mane. They are all very convincing," said Kat. Hailey asked if she could let Kat see the cats and dogs but Kat refused. She wanted a baby dragon. "Um, Kat. I think next math class is going to start. We should get going." Stammered Lindsey. "Oh, don't flatter yourself, Lindpoop." Hissed Hailey nastily. Lindsey gasped. "Don't EVER call me that!" she glowered. "Girls, I like this male jester dragon. I want to buy it and look after it with my cat, Gemmy. How many coins, Hailey?" asked Kat. Hailey said it was 27 coins but since you're from the non-magical world… I'll give you 10% discount." Answered Hailey. So, Kat paid the coins and took her baby jester dragon with her in a cage. They walked through the streets of Magic World. "Kat, are you taking that to school?" asked Lindsey nervously. Kat nodded. "I'm going to hide little Flame in my school bag. After all, he is just a little baby dragon and won't do much harm will he, mm?" answered Kat. But Lindsey wasn't so sure…


 


 

Wonderful Wishes- Chapter Five. If you've haven't read Chapter 1-4, scroll down and read from there so you understand the story.

Now, this book is nearly going to finish. Because since this is the first book of Wonderful Wishes I have written, I decided to make it short for starters of magic. Though this chapter is about the rest of both Kat and Lindsey's magic. Kat owns mainly water. This includes water (She uses the palm or finger and water comes out when needed.) bubbles (She can blow out bubbles from her mouth to an enemy's eye or she can make a big bubble around her to protect her.) and ice (She can freeze something. This power doesn't exactly relate with water that's why mermaids don't use it too much.)

P.s- A mermaid isn't a person with a tail and woman's body in this story. If you had read the story, a mermaid is a person who owns permanent water powers.

Lindsey owns the Dragon Fire. Kat and Lindsey have normal magic, but Lindsey's most main one is the Dragon Fire. She can throw Fire Balls at anyone; breathe fire from her mouth when she is mad at someone. And Dragon Fire is a little dangerous and protective. It anyone makes you so angry, you can fire at them. Now, most Dragon Fire people try to control their fire but it is almost impossible too. Even though Dragon Fire has little powers types, it is extremely dangerous.

I hoped you have enjoyed these chapters which I call a book. The next book will be right up tomorrow. Please comment on anything you like. Thank you.

Wonderful Wishes Chapter 4

Chapter Four- If you haven't read Chapter 1-3, please scroll down till you see 'Wonderful Wishes Chapter 1' and read from there so you understand the story.

"I own dragon fire," said Lindsey the next morning to Kat. Both were not going to school because of the Pupil Free Day. They were in Lindsey's garden, talking about last night. "Really? I know about Dragon Fire. My brother, Max is one. My great-great-great Aunt Lulu made that wish that landed on Max. Dragon Fire is kind of dangerous. You know, when you get angry…" mumbled Kat. "The Dragon Fire will expand on whomever or whatever is making you mad." They both said together. "Should we try our um what do you call it, past wish?" asked Kat. "Perfect idea! Let's try it on Roselle! After all, she deserves it for stealing something so precious! I still haven't revenged on her yet." Snickered Lindsey with a wicked grin. Kat nodded and said nothing. I hope it doesn't work. On me anyway, Kat thought. "Perfect start! I just know what kind of trick with Dragon Fire," hissed Lindsey. Kat shrugged. She didn't care about Lindsey's so-called revenge scheme on Roselle. They sneaked to the bathroom door, where Roselle is brushing her hair with her pink Barbie comb. "Girls! Supper's ready!" out of the blue, Lindsey's Aunt Jan called from the diner. Oh no! Thought Lindsey. I cannot believe that our plot didn't work YET!


 


 

Wonderful Wishes Chapter 3

Chapter Three- If you didn't read chapter 1 and 2, please scroll down to read right from the beginning of 'Wonderful Wishes'!!!!

"A mermaid is a person that owns full-water, ice and bubble powers. They can also breathe underwater and what that word really means does not mean," explained Fiona. "That's right. No tail at all. Just an advantage to breathe underwater." Smiled the old wizard. Kat was very shocked. "But I can't be one. I mean, I have tried water spells but not this! I can't be a mermaid!" said Kat gasping. "I'm sorry. I have to go. Thank you," and Kat hurried out of the curtains and ran over to Lindsey, totally scared. "You do not want to go in there,"

"Why not? I'm gonna go and see my wish, just like what you did!" said Lindsey. "By the way, what are you, like are you half…" But Kat cut her off. "Mermaid." Though Lindsey was shocked, Kat told her what mermaid actually meant. "Whoa mama! That's cool! I wish I can breathe through water!" remarked Lindsey. Kat shook her head when Lindsey walked in the curtains. The same thing happened with Lindsey. At first, she was totally scared about owning dragon fire but as Fiona and the old wizard explained that it was really harmless if you don't get mad or angry, the fire will be so strong, it can burn up your enemy. So Lindsey decided to stay calm.

Chapter Two- Wonderful Wishes

Chapter Two- if you have not read Chapter One, please read so you get the start.

Kat couldn't believe her ears. "You used magic? In class? Were you nuts?" Kat kept asking after school that night. "Believe it or not, I did! But for a good reason, Kat. You know I don't take my gift for granted," said Lindsey calmly. Kat told Lindsey almost 105 reason that she had used her gift for granted. "So did you! You made the bell ring ten minutes earlier to save me from Mrs. Harrid's talk! Now, that was magic!" insisted Lindsey. But Kat told her that it was to save Lindsey from getting into trouble. "Anyway, let's just forget about it go to sleep. I'm tired." Lindsey yawned. "Does your third cousin, Roselle know about you?" asked Kat softly when they were tucked into their beds. Kat was sleeping on the top bunk, Lindsey was going to be in the middle and Roselle was going to be on the bottom. "Yes, but she isn't like us. She is, let's just say, not abnormal. Oh! Here she comes!" answered Lindsey. "Hello, Roselle! Did your mum, did she say that we have to go to sleep?" asked Kat gleefully. Roselle nodded and said hi to Kat.

When Roselle was finally asleep, Kat and Lindsey could finally explore Magic World. They summoned away in blue sparkles. Before they went, Lindsey shoved her pillow in the blanket so Roselle could think that she was there instead of cry. Now that would be bad! "Sometimes I really do hate Roselle. Especially tonight because she stole my Magic Pencil! Remember the one I bought from Magic World for two coins? Now I bet you that she is gonna be half magical and half brat stealer!" remarked Lindsey. "Yes, of course Linds. Let's go to the shop that sells wands!" said Kat, pulling Lindsey to the shop. But suddenly, an owl, appeared up to them with a sign in its mouth that said: CLOSED COME BACK SOON YOU EAGAR WIZARDS! "Hmph!" cried Kat. "I really wanted to buy my grandmother a special wand!"

"Kat! Looks like there is a new shop in town! See? Wishes- make your past wish come true. Let's see it! Oh! And there is a fortune teller too! C'mon Kat!" cried Lindsey. They entered the shop, and as the door opened, it closed with purple shiny sparks. "Hello, my customers. How may I help you to see your wish?" An old man wizard popped right in front of them. At first, Kat wasn't so sure but Lindsey started to say, "Yes sir, my friend, Kat wants to do it," "Of course, Kat. Come with me." Smiled the old wizard and led Kat behind a curtain. "Now, you will pick up a card from the fortune teller of the past," the wizard started. "What do you mean by fortune teller of the past?" asked Kat. The wizard explained that this lady called Fiona was Magic World's famous fortune teller. She only sees the past. Kat picked up a card from the deck and gave it to Fiona. She blew air from her mouth. "    Well, what does it say?" asked Kat hopefully. "Mm. Your great-great grandmother made this wish up. She wished that she would be half-mermaid…" Fiona said. "So, what does that mean? I mean, mermaids don't exist."

Wonder-World-1#

Wonder-World- Magical Wishes

Story written by Christine Rosaline Wang and Sammy Kat Smith

Chapter One

Kat and Lindsey pushed the high school doors open. It was a beautiful sunny Monday morning and Blue Waters High has just started their first class. "We're late again!" groaned Lindsey. Kat sighed. Every day she and Lindsey seem to be late because of Magic World's big morning must-be-heard assemble. Kat and Lindsey were ordinary people. They were people who had magic. You can say a witch, but not as in witch-witch. They are not exactly witches. They are just ordinary people who have magic.

"You are late!" growled Mrs. Harrid when she stopped writing on the blackboard. "Sorry, Mrs. Harrid," confessed Kat. Lindsey didn't look sorry. She felt as if the teacher was blaming them. They don't know about Magic World's big morning talks! Then they'll understand! Thought Lindsey. Lindsey and Kat sat in the empty seats at the back. Kat got out her social study books while Lindsey was too busy scowling. "Linds, get out your social studies!" Kat hissed quietly. Lindsey rolled her blue eyes and fished through her bag while Mrs. Harrid was teaching. Oh no! She thought. I can't find my social studies! Mrs. Harrid will kill me! But Lindsey had a plan. She did a practically dumb thing: She used her magic. Yup, just a click of a finger, twitch of a spell and a clone of her social studies book comes up to her. Lucky no one saw! "Lindsey Waters! Can you answer this question on the board? And why don't you have your social studies book open yet? I'm sure I gave you enough time," Mrs. Harris screeched. Now, Lindsey was speechless. "I-uh… I um… I am sorry Mrs. Harris. I guess I haven't been studying too much…" stammered Lindsey. Kat rolled her eyes. So, to save her friend, she recited a spell in her mind and ring! The bell rang loudly and everyone knew it was lunch time. Lindsey raced out of the classroom in a flash.

Life Starring me! Model Search

Life, starring me! Model Search

Chapter One:

I leaned against Keira's locker which has a number 28 star written on it. Keira wrote star next to 28 last week to show off that she was a star. Of course, she was but not exactly. She is so good at art and dumb at music. I am so good at music and dumb at art. She wants to be a supermodel and artist when she grows up. I want to be a musician and RSPCA volunteer. We are so different. It was 7:30am and school hadn't begun yet. I was still waiting for Keira. Suddenly, Keira came through the high school doors. She threw herself at me and smiled. "Hi Serena!" she greeted. As usual, I said hi and did our greeting routine. Then, she said something so shocking that I thought my brain was going to melt in my mouth. "I'm going to be part of Sadie's Supermodel Team. Cool, yeah?" She said, opening her locker to get her books out. Sadie's Supermodel Team was a program for people who like to walk on the runway and do cool poses every second and dress up like total cows. Also, Sadie was a girl who led the team. Sadie Mcduff. She is in my history and math classes. "You should join!" out of the blue, Sadie popped out right in front of us and smiled and started a rejected conversation. "I should join what? Your supermodel team? If you hadn't realized, Keira is joining!" I snapped, getting annoyed. "You don't have to…" Sadie said slowly, her mouth in motion. "Keira, I want you to hand out these flyers in your science class. Some girls are really cool there! And I'm not in your science class and since you can be my helper…" but Keira interrupted. "Of course!" A few minutes later, the bell rang and the convoy didn't go any further. In our Science class, Keira secretly threw a Sadie Model Team flyer on my head. "Yo, dude!" Jake Bay whispered smoothed the flyer out and turned around to give Jake a deadly look. The flyer said:

Sadie's Supermodel Team

Join the club! Attentions to all wanna be supermodels! Your dream will come true when you join Sadie's supermodels! Be like Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton and Jenifer LoveHewit! If want to apply, see Sadie at music room after your first morning class. Plus you will get free cool clothes designed by Hilary Duff and Beyoncé! Get all the famous girls have! More details see Sadie or call 987653421. And remember, you'll be on the red carpet with all superstars!

Love, Sadie.

This flyer got me a little mad. In music room? Sadie is crazy! I have to practice my piano piece with Lindy in the music room for tomorrow's assembly! Well I'll tell her to use music room 2, I thought. But no, I remember that Ryan and Andrew have to use it for their guitar duets. When science was finally over, everyone exactly scrammed out of the class before Mrs. Leaver could say another word. I caught Keira and asked, "You're not heading to the music room are you?" Keira nodded and said, "I am kind of in a hurry. I have to meet Sadie to organize the Beyoncé and Hilary Duff costumes for the models first red carpet walk," I sighed. "Well, tell Sadie I need to talk to her!"

Rosaline’s Diary

Rosalina Traveski's Diary

Chapter One Sunday

My weekend activity for today is that I'm going to try hard to catch butterflies. Since it is now spring, butterflies come around to my garden, flapping their wings gracefully, some sucking nectar of the daisy flowers which just bloomed beautifully. But either that, butterflies can get quite ratty you know. Like, when I was five years old, as my weekend activity was trying to catch butterflies with my Barbie net. I caught a lovely-looking male deep ocean blue butterfly, but I'd seem to accidently chop its wings of somehow with the net and as its revenge, it flew in my T-shirt, tickling me all over. Am not going to catch male this spring. I changed into some spring clothes: a vivid green shirt and blue colorful shorts. Mum was cooking damper in the kitchen. I hate damper bread but mum makes me eat it. I got out my normal net, because my Barbie one got stalked away by a pod of butterflies last spring. I guess the blue male butterfly wanted revenge big-time. There were heaps of butterflies in the garden. I spotted on off with orange wings. I chased it around, but no matter how hard I tried, nothing works. I finally gave up and made daisy chains. But, I guess I wasn't a good daisy chain maker because my fat-but-not-so-fat fingers seem to press to hard and now I got all this daisy milk and juice sticking to my fingers. Next, tried doing awesome cartwheels on the grass. Guess I wasn't a good gymnast because I ended out falling on the grass. Now have all these dirt stains and scratches on my bum and all over my face and clothes. After, tried picking some blueberries on the blueberry tree. One big one was on the very top of that tree. Got onto a stool, I guess ballet was useful back then, but now I quit ballet so I lost my balance from the stool and fell flat-faced in the garden bench. Gave up. Went inside. End of weekends. I have to face school tomorrow.

Chapter 2 Monday

Oh man! I hate Mondays! Now, I really, really hate Mondays! This morning when I walked up to the school's gate, my bag straps got tangled between the fences and I tried pulling, but instead pulled my self over towards the fence and now my face has all these bruises. In class, we had an emergency teacher named Miss. Mutton-Butt. I found it funny and started to laugh in the middle of a math test. Miss. Mutton-Butt was not impressed and locked me up in the broom closet for three hours. That's the new rules. You get told off; it's straight in the broom closet. Miss. Mutton-Butt doesn't allow anyone to laugh or talk or smile or even snigger. If you do, you're going straight in the broom closet. You're not even allowed to move a slight chance of your mouth. You're not allowed to send notes, say stuff, or answer questions unless you were told. Unfortunately, I got locked up in the closet eight times in a row today in class. My friend Endora and a girl named Hannah talked all about boys and super stars all lunch. Endora practically has a crush on a boy called T. OK, he's real name's Terry but let's call him T for now. Not tea as if you drink the tea. T as in the alphabet. "Hey, Hannah! Don't you think Terry is ten out of ten sex appeal?" hissed Endora on the playground. "Mm," says Hannah. "Maybe nine out of ten." Endora's eyes flashed. "Flip will get two. Luke will get four. Or five!" said Endora, gazing around to T. "Oh, more than five! Flip is amazing! Maybe six. Or seven and a half," I thought how boring this boy talk was and I can't believe that Endora and Hannah has been talking about sex appeals and boy goddesses all long. How boring! Oh, now Endora is talking about how hot T looks. And asked me who I fancied the most. I sighed and said I was going to the loo. I heard them whisper, "She has a crush on the toilet!" Honestly.

Chapter 3 Tuesday

All Endora talks about is boys, boys, boys. And Hannah. Today at school, we played with this stinky girl called Gina. As well known, she is quite disgusting. She connected with this blinking boy talk. "Hey!" screamed Gina getting our attention. I almost chocked on my cheese sandwich. "Who do you rate most, Miley Cyrus or Beyoncé?" asked Gina chewing with her mouth open. (I so hate that.) "Miley," says Hannah. "Beyoncé," says Endora. "Who do you like best, Rosaline?" asked Endora. If I didn't say at least one celebrity, Endora will be looking for a row. So to keep her happy, I said that I liked Justin Beiber in a grumpy voice. I don't like Justin Beiber, really. I rate Baby a one. Suddenly, Gina shouted so loud I'm sure the whole school heard. "Guess what! I'm wearing my new bra!" yelled Gina. Endora's eye's flashed with envy. "You so have not!" breathed Endora. "Well then, what do you call this?!"She whipped out her school shirt and flashed her bra right in Endora's face! Endora screamed. Hannah screamed. The duty teacher screamed and dropped her coffee. I groaned. In class, got locked up in the closet again. At least it was only once for breathing loudly. So now the whole class knows that we're not allowed to breathe. Almost suffocated to death. But finally bell rang for break. "I'm gonna live in a mansion with my rich husband like that mansion_" Gina grinned and pointed to this three story house along the road. If she has a husband that's a rockstar or something, she'll entertain them with her horrid bras. I had a lot of trouble falling to sleep last night after Gina flashed her bra at us. I dreamt last night that I was a sardine and Gina picked me up and shoved me in her bra. Yuk.

Music Rules

Music rules

By Christine Wang

Chapter 1

I have my music lessons at four today straight after school. I play piano and guitar. My name is Keira and I love music. I told you what instruments I really play. Piano is tops because it's real easy for me but guitar? Guitar's cool but I get confused with the chords. My teacher for guitar, Len always says this: "It's important to learn your theory, Keira. Otherwise, you'll never be a real guitarist!" OK, music theory is easier than math but you know, piano theory is actually tricky but I think guitar is trickier. I always forget the letters on the strings because it's not like piano where the notes from middle C are just like, D, E, F, G, A, B and so on. Guitar's notes are all mixed up. Today at school, Juliana, my best friend with an annoying side, Ricky and Sylvia (I hate Sylvia! Rich, snobby as well as nasty equals hate!) Decided we can make up a music band and every time at assemble; we can play each of our new albums. "We can be like, so, famous at school!" Ricky kept cheering. Juliana said that we have to decide on our first album. Sylvia says it's quite opposite to ace because Juliana says we all have to work together on the album song. "Well, if I like, have to do it if I don't wanna, you're looking for trouble, aren't you, Juliana Banana?" Juliana rolls her eyes and sighs. "OK, this is how it is for our first single- Keira," she says smiling at me. "You can play guitar then piano on second alb." I nodded quickly. Ricky was going to play petrol drums and well, Sylvia? She wants to sing but everyone knows that she has an awful voice. Juliana can sing. But Sylvia groaned and checked her nails which were crimson sunset. "Fine, Sylvia, you may be a singer with me…" we all finally groaned.
