200 words on season story

Why i HATE summer.

Summer is my least favourite season, i hate everything about it. The heat, the smell of the big amount of sunscreen people use, beaches and especially BEE’S. Bees are the worst they sting, they follow. Also wasps them and bees are my least favourite thing in summer. One summer holidays i had 3 bee stings in the amount of 2 weeks. The first one was on my knee. I was just playing around outside in the grass with my friends and i knelt down on a wasp “ahhhhhhh” i screamed out! After i realised what happened i went inside to get cream on it so it would take away the sting. About a week after that i got the second wasp sting this time it was walking home from school the wasp flew up my t-shirt sleeve and stung me right on my shoulder i didn’t realise what had happened until i felt something crawling around under my sleeve. When i lifted up my sleeve i got a HUGE surprise! This time i ran home and told my mum what had happened she laughed and gave me some cream. The final bee sting happened at a barbeque with a bunch of my close family and friends. By this time i hated bees and was very weary outside in making sure i don't get stung again! This was probably the most embarrassing out of all. Me and my friends were resting after jumping heaps on the trampoline when we got called over for dinner we raced over cause we were very hungry then one of my friends yells to me “BEEE” i ran around as fast as i could to escape the bee but it eventually got me “owwww” i yelled everyone laughed so i joined in.

Creative writing - Short story

Short story:

“Would you like fries with that?” the waiter said to me as i order a big burger. “Oh yes, thank you” i say back. I stumble over to the table where my brother Noah is waiting. He's from aussie so we are having a catch up dinner well he's over here on vacation it’s quite exciting to see him because it’s been so long since i last saw him.

“So how is Australia?” “Oh good it's very hot, i seen a snake the other day it scared me half to death!”

“ Oh that sounds scary i’m glad i live in NZ haha” i say. I feel a sharp pain in my belly and start to get a headache “I’m just gonna run to the bathroom” i say as i quickly walk off.

I look in the mirror and splash my face with some water feeling a bit dizzy.

I hear a flush and see a toilet door open a lady with long brown hair and green eyes comes out. I give a slight smile and walk out to go back to my table. Feeling light headed, i finally get to the table

“are you okay?”  Noah says. he sounds worried “ You look a bit green do i need to take you home” ?

“ No no i’m fine i think i just need some food in my belly.” Then right after i say that our little beeper beeps to indicate that our food is ready. I walk calmly up to get it and sit back down excited to dig into the yummy chicken burger, fries and chocolate milkshake. I start eating before i’m about halfway done i feel it start to come back up. I quickly run to the bathroom and into a toilet stall and phew, i made it to the toilet!

As i walk back out i notice my brother standing outside “Are you okay?," C'mon i’ll take you home!”

As we pull up the drive we notice all the lights are off in the house. Which is unusual because mum and dad should be there. “Where’s mum and dad?” Noah says “Umm they should be here” i say back confused. When we reach the door it's already open. We slowly walk in not knowing what to expect.

“The lights are on upstairs maybe they're in their room. As we walk up the stairs everything's silent, i look at noah and he looks at me we both look concerned.

I follow noah into their room and see mum and dad..on the ground...with blood pouring out… i scream and fall to the ground balling my eyes out and Noah runs over to see if they have a pulse “CALL AN AMBULANCE!” he yells i run to to the phone and call an ambulance and the cops. Noah gets up with tears streaming down his face “They don’t have a pulse..”

he walks over to me and hugs me tight as we stand their crying. After about ten minutes we the sirens and run downstairs Noah and i  run outside then Noah shows them where my parents are. After the police and paramedics examin the bodies one of the paramedics comes over with a muted face and politely tells us our parents are gone. Noah and i both start crying. I’ve never cried so much in my whole life.

Then after about 30 minutes the police take us down to the station and ask us questions like “do you know anyone that would wanna hurt you parents?” and “ has anything suspicious happened lately?” but we say no because our parents have been fine lately. We end up spending the night at the police station and in the morning we rang our Aunt Lucy to come pick us up but she won’t be able to until 7:00 pm since she lives out of town.

After sitting at the police station for hours doing nothing but crying me and Noah decide that we were gonna go for a walk to the dairy to get a bite to eat. When we get when we get there we order a bag of lollies with all my favourite ones in it but it still doesn't make me happy. As we were walking back i hear my brother scream from behind me “EMMA!”  he gets shoved in a van i chase after the van and run as fast as i can but it’s too late the van speeds down the road in seconds it’s out of sight he's gone… i run back to the police station but before i get there a sharp pinch starts to come on the side of my belly after heaps more crying i finally get to the police station they sit me down and asked what happen then as soon as i told them they got in their police car to try to find the van i go with one of them and we go looking for about 5 hours.  We check the diary that he got taken from and find Noah along with a note that just has a creepy smile on it. “nooooooooo!!” i scream he’s dead i start crying again i stare at the police officer and he takes me back to the station and tells me the worst news if heard in awhile “ Emma we think the murderer is after you well hurting you so he’s hurting everyone close to you!” “what” i say crying really loud “we are gonna take you to a safe house where no one can find you okay?” the police officer says “ok..” i say... “my brother was all i had left...”
