Oakley Creek
School Journal Level 4 October 2015
I woke with a strange feeling in my belly. I’ve never _____lied________ to my mum before, so I feel scared – but I’ve never been to Oakley Creek before and I feel _____excited___________. Destiny had it all planned - where and when we should meet. She filled me in with who was coming, but I barely listened. I knew it would be the kids she hung out with, the ones I am not supposed to be _____Buffy____________ with.
I get out of bed, and dress in my ____swimming____________ gear and pull my T shirt and skirt on over them. I _____ stash_________ my towel at the bottom of my school bag. The face in the mirror looks the same, but I feel __________ different _________. I had told my mum that I was going to school. She thought it was weird me going to school on a Saturday.
After doing my ____chores____________ I said goodbye to Mum who was hanging out the washing. She suggested she come too, so she could talk to my teacher, but I told her no. She would make me late.
As Destiny and I round the corner we can hear shouts and splashing. The ___boys___________ have beaten us there. All morning there is only us, and it feels good. We have just finished lighting a fire to cook the ___eel___________ Liam stabbed with a stick when I hear a familiar voice. It was Miss and with her were Mum and Jonah. They are looking down at us, Mum’s face tight, and my heart stops.
I snatch up my towel and bag turning away from my friends. I’m not cool, I’m in big ____trouble____________. On the way back Miss explains that Mum and Jonah walked to school after all and Miss happened to be there. Miss doesn’t ________growl______, and so far Mum hasn’t said a word. Miss told me it might not feel like it right now, but I’m lucky. My mum ____cares_________ enough to come looking for me.
