The Chances Of Blowing Wishes, Capturing Butterflies And The Star Song

This is my recount story about a childhood memory. It is about what happened and how it happened and what I was like around then.

The Chances Of Blowing Wishes, Capturing Butterflies And The Star Song

Spring intervened, nine years ago, at the year 2005 (Two Thousand And Five) when I was three and destiny overtook my life meeting a certain girl who was my age. Her name was Sela and she was my futuristic friend that I met. The night before this day I had a dream of what would happen, to prevent that from happening I reluctantly avoided meeting her. At that time I was in the car with my brother and my mother hearing the car coming back to life, roaring with existence. Me and my family were on a trip to the field just for me but it was unplanned for me and Sela to meet but we did.

I encountered Sela, her illuminated charcoal hair glistened underneath the sun swishing to the right side of her where the wind pulled. Her eyes was full of attention and distorted into chestnut color. Her skin was ravishingly copper and ruby painted lips was perfected fully. I looked at her with a brief look and carefully eyed her like a tiger watching it’s prey. The prophecy that was foretold in my dream was my legacy, our legacy.

When she turned around I tensed in her eyes because I saw myself. A girl with curly hair colored brunette with a texture of auburn hair lingered in Sela’s eyes. The girl had scarlet cheeks like a raging fire and lips pale red like a blossom tree in the snow. The girl had eyes of a tiger featured in the color caramel with skin of a tanned person who had pale skin until they went to the beach but some places the sun couldn’t make the effort to shine on some areas on the body like underneath her arms is pale and her legs are pale. Her clothes made her look like a boy, it actually made her look like she was a tomboy with only brothers. I realized that I was looking at me. Me, being a complete idiot at that age said,”Move, your in the way!” in a harsh tone. She examined me only for a moment then laughed but being three I guessed you would have laughed as well.

We introduced ourselves, like a book summoning characters. She said,”Hi, I’m Sela and ummm...I want to be friends!”. I looked at her, she was full of determination and commitment so I agreed to be the bestest friend I could ever be, since i've never really had any friends, I was more of an independent little girl. It was only early in the morning but it felt like forever, like I have been talking to someone that was not real, but stranger than a angel but far away from being an alien. There was something special about her, something I couldn’t understand.

The skies blurred into a shade of pink altered with a amethyst contrast and a peachy smudge like the sky was a piece of art. We were blowing fairies and wishes as the night fell and twilight was the break of dawn for this night.

Our parents had warned us not to wander far and we didn’t understand their language so we ignored them. I remembered the dream I had instantly as we wandered lost in our imagination,in my dream we were in a dark place exactly like where we were now, where only shadows and silhouettes lived. We diverged in a unfamiliar direction searching desperately for our parents. The smell interrupted my thoughts instantly making me turn to wait for Sela who was about to let rain down on her face silently even though the sky was clear like a velvet blanket covered with shattered diamonds.

As three year olds you could understand how we felt, which was the feeling of being alone and being the only one by yourself as if know one existed but you, like how Adam in the beginning was until Eve was made and he wasn’t alone. As a hushed snore was uttered by Sela’s lips I hummed our secret lullaby to the sleeping girl who knew nothing of the situation we were in currently. Our secret is our song that only we know, we call it ‘The Star Song’.

Red and blue lights blur into the the darkness surrounding us with sirens deafening our ears with irritation. Men in black pick us up and carry us back to our family, he was what we call ‘The Deliverer’. Our hearts beat in sync like a beat following each other until the drop follows in and silence of our happiness exploits within a moment. Our hearts calm down like the moon after a long day, we looked away and got carried away in our dreams and we thought we would never see each other again, well we thought wrong.

Touch Poem

This is my poem I did for the topic  this term which is 'Peaceful Play'. The game I chose to write a poem about is touch because it is peaceful and fun to play and also because it is one of my favorite games.

Playing Touch Like A Mushroom Bomb

I stood still on a running spree startled by the ball bouncing in between, backwards, behind and beside me. I caught the ball unaware of the situation I was in. I heard my imagination crystal clear like it was in my ear as it whispered a sound effect that sounded like a *whistle* and a Psh!! Just like a mushroom bomb as the ball fell into my arms. The sun slapped my face as I scored a goal but I felt the pain of the long grass that whacked my legs as I bolted pass.

Everyone wanted the ball as if they were dogs eagerly racing towards a bone like it was the last one in the whole universe. I hurried to the aid of one of my teammates as he passed it to me so I could pass it to someone else so they could have a run. I wandered for a moment in my mind finding a question, who would win at the end of this game?

I wandered around the field searching for the ball as it dropped into it’s nest into my team mate’s arms. She ran eyeing the enemy as he stepped them then BANG! She bumped into the enemy’s shoulder meeting his finger. She passed the ball to me seeing that I was the closest to herself, then I ran for freedom and my life trying not to get touched, I guess my life isn’t worth much since I did get touched.

I kicked the ball as it made a mushroom bomb into someone’s arms luckily the person was in my team. We tumbled towards the goal making history for our team, taking our name into the book of history. Then I chant in my spaced mind,” The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory”. I secretly gasp for joy but audibly trying not to show my happiness.

I feel the pressure whispering into the warm breeze contacting the blazes of the sun reflecting smiles upon it’s face. Pride overwhelms my face as I feel the oppression of me catching the ball as I laid down my head holding the ball as if it’s a baby, then I saw a white line as my feet guided me towards it. All I hear is cheering. all I can see is confetti and a golden trophy intertwined with a name marking its point, all I can blindly see is me past the line, we made it past the enemy borders.

Writing Sample For The Pools

This is my writing sample I did to practice for my actual writing assestment. I used the TREE model to design my paragraphs and sentences.

Name: Tiere Date: 18/02/15

	Hints	Main Ideas	Extra Details
Title	Remember: HOOK YOUR AUDIENCE IN! You could... use dialogue, use a sound effect, describe a character’s thoughts or feelings	Party Splash!
Reveal	Reveal your recount! Who was there? Where were you? When was it? Why did it happen? How did you get there?	As soon as I walked through the door of my class everyone was talking about how we as a school, Tamaki Primary School, were going on a trip to YMCA Panmure Lagoon Pools where the fun was going to begin but first it all happened to be at school. We, Room 10 Year 8’s, buddied up with Room 5 then we took our buddies to the bus so we could sit together with our peers. During the bus ride there were conversations roaming everywhere between friends. Little kids smiles were uplifting but their faces were curious. We had little conversations with them just to get to know them better then we arrived with welcoming smiles on our faces and screams of excitement but some people were silent as a book and just totally blank. This all happened because it was a school trip and the main highlight of this trip was to have fun as a school.	2-3 Paragraphs
Events	Tell us your story What happened? There may be 4-5 events in your story. Remember: Senses Language Features	Instructions and rules were given out by lifeguards and teachers who were responsible for our water safety and I thought that all these instructions and rules were educational and so we were learning and having fun at the same time. We all had to listen carefully to know how we could be safe in the water and outside of the water. Already you could smell the chlorine fussing in the air, you could feel the shady breeze shivering on your skin, you could hear nature calling to you like the birds shouting, the trees waving and the splashes by the pool and you could taste the embrace of salt water. Then we had a duathlon in our teams which we were organised in by leaders. When we ran we all had disgusted faces on because of the disgusting smell of the basin it had, leaving a stench of salt lingering in my mouth and nose. I could see birds being statuesque on the tree and trees waving above my head.  As soon as we got back all I could hear was stomache earthquakes so we had morning tea with our friends by the time we came back. When it was free time me and my friends went up the stairs of the hydra slide where there was a queue waiting for us. I heard ferocious screams following the next person and the next and the next and the next until all the people were gone but it was never ending. It was pitch black as soon as I stared in the face of darkness itself. I went in but I was too polite to scream so I didn’t but I laughed because it was funny but everyone else screamed their heads off and it was very exotic like entering a dark slide with water. As soon as free time finished we all were tired but then we were energetic as soon as we got to know our next activity which was the mini water park. Students reaction was funny but it was all about having fun. We all roamed the water park being cheeky to water which was hilarious concerning talking to water. It was lunchtime and everyone was provided with a sausage sizzle and ice blocks. Everyone appreciated lunchtime because of the conversations that were going on and the noise level which was acceptable since it was a whole school trip. We all had funny moments with our friends which were memorable. Then it was time to get changed and go home.	4 - 6 Paragraphs
Ending	Don’t leave us hanging! How does this story end?	The showers were fun but not as fun as the pools, getting changed was all right but not as good as getting ready to swim. Here in the pools would be memories left behind but it would be with us through pictures. The bus was sorta silent since we all missed the pools but we couldn't keep going on about how fun it was and how we were going to miss it as Year 8’s since it was our last year at this wonderful school. Then we arrived at school with dripping hair and tired faces that were red from the sun. I thought it was going to last forever but that didn’t happen which was too bad for me.                                                                                               We rested and waited until the bell rang and we could be dismissed from school and it took a long time like five minutes. During the five minutes we all just sat there silently because our mouths were too tired to speak so we let our mouths go. Reluctantly the bell rang and we were dismissed from class and home was far away and no one wanted to walk home.	1-2 Paragraphs

I was happy to look after my little sister since she was well behaved and we also had a little tea party and she brought her ‘friends’ which was surprisingly funny. Then my sisters returned from school and my older brother. Me and my dad were going to our martial art club. Then I went for a shower as soon as we get home then I went to bed.
