Fragments from my book...

I was so excited about finishing the year. After the holidays I would be in year 8! As I went down the stairs to have breakfast, I was thinking of all the things that were going to happen next year. [...] The moment I got down stairs mum was shouting to Jess ‘Hurry up! Look, Chloe is ready and you are not!’ I went in the kitchen had a quick breakfast, then I said ‘bye’ to Coco and hopped in the car.

After about five minutes of waiting for my older sister Jess, we headed for school. School was only 10 minutes away, car distance. When we were nearly there we started to see people from our school in the far distance. I could see Poppy and her sister walking. I was friends with Poppy, and Jess with her sister. When we arrived at school I gave a kiss to mummy and hopped out of the car. We were just in front of the school gates. That is were all the kids are dropped off.

As I walked through the hallway in to the locker room, Sophie was there waiting for me and Poppy. Me Poppy and Sophie were all best friends; we had been since we were 4 years old. Our sisters were also best friends, and still are.

‘Sophie, how did you find the maths homework?’ I asked.
