The unexpected visitor writing…

The Unexpected visitor…

 

One late evening, It’s 9pm on a Saturday night. 

 

A teenage girl named Sasha, was seemingly scrolling on her phone, while eating a roasted potato. She took a bite for each engaging scroll she did. The sound of crunching from the roasted crust of the potato could be heard throughout the room, as its delicious aroma could be smelt throughout the whole room.  

Sasha’s parents had gone out, and she was left all alone. Sasha was certain that no one would knock on the door, especially this late. Sasha’s parents wouldn’t have to knock if they had the keys…

 

Sasha ate her late bite of her potato before wiping her mouth with her sleeves, continuing to scroll through her phone once again, turning the volume up to max. 

 

Light tap’s could be heard behind the door.

 

tap, tap, tap. As if they were soft knocks, though Sasha wasn’t able to make out the light knocks on the door. The light knocks continued for almost a few seconds. Before they got louder, and louder, as if the bangs on the door were begging to come inside.

 

Sasha had gotten a fright and glanced at the door, before shutting her phone off. Sasha slowly stepped to the door unsure of who or what could be out there.

 

“Delivery…!!!” 

 

A voice? Sasha thought.

 

“Strange..I didn’t order anything?” Sasha muttered to herself. Before slowly taking a glimpse through the peephole.

 

“No one?..” Sasha spoke once again, before slowly opening the door. To her surprise nothing or.. no one was there. Were they already in her home? had she invited it in? She quickly closed the door before steadily turning around, seeing a glimpse of a shadowy figure………

 

“NO DON’T EAT MY POTATOES…!!!” Sasha yelped, her face turning pale white. It was to her horror..it was the potato eating monster!! Sasha ran to her plate of potatoes she secretly hid, seeing…

 

Crumbs. Only crumbs were left behind. She really hated crumbs that someone left behind.

 

“AUGHHH, NO…MY POTATOES…I HATE YOU…!!!” 

 

Sasha groaned before falling to her knees in a dramatic way. The potato titan slowly started to exit Sasha’s home, not before eating the last potato in front of her.

 

Would Sasha get pay back? Who knows..

 

Never open the door to strangers… muahahahaha

Immersion Assembly Term 2 …

Description:  This terms topic is about Beyond the sky. This message is about the topic of space. Teams of ptengland school has created acts , and videos of explaining what topic they’re working on this term.

For this writing i’ll be describing Teams 3. Teams 3 did a rap about the three main planets of our solar system, the sun , earth and lastly the moon. The teams 3 teachers created verses of a ‘rap’ explaining what the solar system does to our three main planets. They’re performance gave the audience triggers of excitement, with verses in the background which could foreshadow on what will happen after Ms Moala’s introduction. As expected the beat started and the verses were said. After their interesting rap, the crowd cheered for the performing item.

Okay , what I found interesting about the rap was the verses. I think the verses Rhymed perfectly but what I think needs to be improved is to be on time. During the rap I could tell the teachers were struggling to not be delayed. Overall I think it was interesting for others to watch…

Counter Narrative..

It was a very sad and withdrawn girl who was dragged into the principal’s office the next day. This time he did look me in the eyes.

 

“What did your grandfather say?”

 

I sat very straight in my chair.

 

“He said to tell you he won’t pay the fifteen dollars.”

 

The principal muttered something I couldn’t understand under his breath and walked over to the window. He stood looking out at something outside. He looked bigger than usual when he stood up; he was a tall, gaunt man with grey hair, and I watched the back of his head while I waited for him to speak.

 

“Why?” he finally asked. “Your grandfather has the money. He owns a two-hundred acre ranch.”

 

I looked at him, forcing my eyes to stay dry. “I know, sir, but he said if I had to pay for it, then it wouldn’t be a scholarship jacket.” I stood up to leave. “I guess you’ll just have to give it to Joann.” I hadn’t meant to say that, it had just slipped out. I was almost to the door when he stopped me.

 

“Martha — wait.”

 

I turned and looked at him, waiting. What did he want now? I could feel my heart pounding loudly in my chest and see my blouse fluttering where my breasts should have been. Something bitter and vile tasting was coming up in my mouth; I was afraid I was going to be sick. I didn’t need any sympathy speeches. He sighed loudly and went back to his big desk. He watched me, biting his lip.

 

“…i’ve decided.. That you aren’t getting the…Jacket..”

The principal said with a hesitant voice. I felt tears running down both my cheeks, as I heard those words, I definitely felt extremely sick…. A little moment later, I started to speak with a stuttering voice.

“I—I understand sir..” As I said, turning around mid-sentence , wiping the tears he could’ve noticed. There was this weird moment of awkward silence with huge tension.

 

“..The board has been thinking that Joann should get the jacket instead..” The principal spoke , breaking the silence that occurred in the room moments before.

“Since.. Her father owns the only store in town..” The principal continued while clasping his palms together. I tried not to look at him with the redness, puffiness that occurred around and inside my eyes, but it was useless. “It’s alright sir …” I said with a look of despair written on my face, there was no hope to change his mind now.. 
The principal started to avoid my gaze as he felt.. Ashamed?

“..perhaps that is all I needed to confirm..You may leave”.. After those last words, I left as quickly as I could before bursting into tears. There was no one in the hallway so it was the right moment to shed my tears I’ve been holding in for a long time. I walked away from the room and went straight home to where my grandparents were.

As I took my step on the front porch I rushed past my grandmother and straight to my room. I didn’t come out for hours, until my grandmother started knocking on the door speaking in Spanish. I ignored the pleas to get up and get out, I started to think about the mistakes that would’ve happened to not get the scholarship jacket.

 

After months, Joann was able to earn the jacket by paying the 15 dollars. While Marta was stuck with great grades and able to live her normal life without the scholarship jacket which was still wounded to her heart.

“Okay. We’ll make an exception in your case. I’ll tell the Board, you’ll get your jacket.”

 

I could hardly believe my ears. I spoke in a trembling rush. “Oh, thank you, sir!” Suddenly I felt great. I didn’t know about adrenaline in those days, but I knew something was pumping through me, making me feel as tall as the sky. I wanted to yell, jump, run the mile, do something. I ran out so I could cry in the hall where there was no one to see me.

Description: 
This is my rewritten version of the scholarship jacket. I took a scene from the story and wrote my own different version. A version were Martha doesn’t get the jacket :b… I think this story was very interesting by learning new things, i wrote my version completely different from the actual story. A different story that is still related to the original story. :3! 

Suspense Story.

 Ptengland school was mysterious, not filled with many students but extremely creepy to say the least. A specific classroom doesn’t know what will happen next..
Alazye, Jayla, and finally Helena, a specific trio that never listens to any teachers that are in front of them at all. 

 

Jayla was carelessly scrolling through her phone without a care. While Helena was loudly munching on chips, not being able to hear the teachers sayings. Alazye was seen throwing crumpled paper across the room, messing the classroom more than it already was, completely ignoring Ms Thompsons pleas of attention.

“These girls never listen..” Ms Thompson muttered quietly to herself, she tried many desperate attempts to get the trio’s attention, but none of them seemed to work. “Class we’ll be working on this task for the next hour!!” Her gaze slowly went to the trio watching their every movement. “Girls, I’m expecting you to listen.” Ms Thompson said sternly as her gaze left the trio.

 

 Helena was too stubborn to listen at all, there were loud sounds of chewing with dropping crumbs left on the floor. “Dude this newest flavour is awesome bruh..” Helena mentioned before stuffing her face with more. Alazye specifically was throwing crumpled papers across the room making an incredible mess, accidentally hitting Jayla’s forehead. Jayla wasn’t fazed at all as she was too busy scrolling through her phone without care.

“Boring, dumb, cool..” Jayla spoke to herself scrolling through. The trio was too busy doing their own thing to care..

Throughout the class it has passed one hour, and it was about time to have recess. During class the trio had left the classroom immediately, going outside to enjoy their time. As they walked Helena carelessly threw her plastic chip packet to the floor making the wind push it away. “Dude.. I’m still hungry bru.” Helena muttered before stopping her tracks, before looking behind gazing at the classroom they had just left from. “Dude’s I’m going back, and getting the rest of my snacks.” Helena didn’t wait for a response and left.

Helena started whistling to herself a silly tone before reaching the entrance of the classroom. For some reason she started to feel goosebumps running across her arm. “What..?” She whispered.. The lights on the ceiling started flickering as the weather started to change, dark clouds hovering the school. Helena looked behind her as she swore she saw a dark figure hovering behind her.

As she thought, the figure was extremely tall and completely black, with only a white glow in the eyes. Is what Helena thought it looked like, it didn’t look human or alive.

As she kept looking behind her trying to figure out what person or thing was out there watching her…

“U-uhm, hello???” She finally spoke, getting the stuttering words out her mouth. “..run…run..” Whispered voices were heard in the classroom. Helena had to check it out, so she walked towards where the whispers were coming from, the closer she got the clearer the whispers got. “run…before…too … .late..” She heard them, she was finally able to hear them clearer. She didn’t need to be told twice as she left, as she was halfway near the entrance of the classroom. The door shut.

Leaving Helena all alone, or what she thought she was. She heard silence, there was no noise at all and she became extremely sweaty. Her blood ran cold for a moment and sudden shivers started to appear. “What…who’s there? What are you?” Helena spoke out to the classroom as a flickering in the lights appeared once again. As if it was responding to Helena’s response.

 

 “Run now. You’re not safe. Should’ve listened. You’re in danger.” 

The words started to form into a louder voice. “I’m not safe?.. I should’ve listened? To whom!?” Helena was finally able to break the door and run out. She could’ve sworn the shadowy figure was following her until she bumped into Leni.. “watch where ya going dude. Before I give you a knuckle sandwich.” Helena looked up at the figure admiring their presence. “I’M INSANELY SORRY!!” Helena slowly walked away still having goosebumps from the earlier event.

“Helena, Jayla, Alazye!!.. It’s not the time to be sleeping!” Helena stopped her tracks before looking back. “What..? sleeping..?” she then saw the flickering figure. “It’s so…cold” Helena opened her eyes slowly, figuring out why she was in the classroom instead of outside. “What..?” Helena muttered. “You three were all sleeping during class!” Leni said while looking up and down at Helena.

“Sleeping? So it was all a dream..?” Helena replied back to Leni. “Don’t know what you mean but it’s class time! We have to listen to the teacher, remember??” Leni spoke while looking at Ms Thompson, teacher of the class. “Right” Helena then looked at Alazye and Jayla’s horrified faces, so Helena assumed they were all in the same dream.. With the same shadowy figure.

From this day on, The trio started to listen to any teachers that were in front of them. And the so-called bully, Leni was always a straight A student.

Description: This is a suspense story about the MC getting a weird creepy dream, a figure who haunts the MC and her friends for not listening to teachers, i actually hope you enjoy reading this >:3… Im veryveryglad for sharing my suspense idea ;3 !! literary have a great day .
