Toby: Adoption, Dances and Drama

This is gonna surprise you, so get ready. *Deep breath*

It's me Toby again. So, Christmas was a while ago now and guess what?! I did get fostered... Well, I got adopted!

I told my Auntie and Uncle the truth. That I really love them, and I always want to be able to see them but I want foster parents.

A couple called Joey and Emily have adopted me. They have 2 kids; Mia and Ross.

Mia and Ross are twins, and I'm the same age as them. It's really fun because we're all the same age so we get along like a house on fire. Mia is cheeky and adventurous and Ross is cool and funny.

The other thing that will surprise you is that LOADS of people have been pairing up for the dance.

Also: SHOCKING NEWS: KATIE'S GANG IS NOW LOUISA'S GANG COS KATIE HAS TURNED NICE LOL

I knew it would be hard for Anna, and that Liz and Sarah were definitely gonna get asked. So I decided to ask Anna, 'cos she's new and stuff.

So I asked her at break and she was like: "Sure."

She's really nice, I think she'll be a good dancer.

But then disaster.

"Excuse me, excuse. TOBY!! Look, we're meant to be together. Don't go with Anna, she's odd. Go with me, and you'll be the most popular boy in the class," Louisa told me.

"Sorry Louisa, I'm going with Anna and that's final."

Louisa stormed off and said a kinda rude word under her breath.

That's when I saw Rosie. She was climbing onto the roof of the school.

Louisa's 'Helping' Hand

urgh. I didn't WANT to write a stupid diary entry. But ma teacher said I had to. My punishment for calling three people losers. Seriously?!It's

I'm Louisa. I'm the most popular girl in the class.

I have a gang with more than half the girls in the class in it. It's fun, cos I'm boss. I'm in charge. Not those teacher people...

Some people might say I'm a big bully, but they're wrong. I'm 'helping' people. Teaching them not to be so annoying, stupid, ugly and weird. It's a lesson that they need teaching, and I'm hear to teach it.

Rosie's the most annoying one. Everyone loves her, so I turned everyone against her. I told them all that she secretly controlled the homework system and made us all do homework because she was an evil witch.

It's mean, but creative. Once I heard one of the girls in the gang say:
"If Louisa wasn't so mean and bossy, don't you think she'd be so cool and creative? She's good at making things up, imagining."

That really annoyed me. So I told that girl if she didn't bug off out of my gang, I'd get her to do my homework EVERY WEEK.

I don't like Rosie because she's smart. And I can't be bothered to be clever. And even if I tried, I would still be bottom of the class. I act like I don't care, but I really really do care.

It's the dance soon. Toby's bound to take me. After all, we're pratically in love.

Louisa

P.S: KEEP OUT




Rosie's Nightmare

Hi, I'm Rosie.

Most people think that Rosie is a really happy name. And to be honest, I've always been a very happy child. I'm usually very smiley and people always compliment my cheerfulness.

But recently, I haven't felt very smiley at all. And it's not my fault. At least, I don't think it is.

I have a special need called Aspergers. It means I'm slightly different to other kids, and sometimes I don't understand things that they understand.

My favourite ever thing to do is science. I love it, and I always ask questions in science.

Since we moved into a new classroom, a new class, things have changed. They call me a geek. And a nerd. A know-it-all girl. They send me texts. They haunt me by the school gates. They write 'kick me' on my jumper.

It's been going on for a while now. They said if I told anyone, they'd kill me.

Some people are really nice, but others don't understand. I just want it to stop, all of it. I want to curl up and drift away.

Rosie

Rosie is a fictional character, but if something like this is happening to you or someone you know, don't keep it inside. Call 0800 11 11 for help from Childline. No child deserves to be bullied.

Toby: My View

Hi, I'm Toby. And I'm in the big class.

I live with my Auntie and Uncle and my cousins. I love playing footie, going on the Wii and Deadly 60.

OK, so we have a new girl in our class now. She's quite cool and I saw her knock down the class bully, so I guess she's alright ;)

My best mate is Tommy because he is always there for you and he makes me laugh all the time.

Sometimes life can be pretty tough without parents, now that they're 'angels' like everyone says. My auntie and uncle are lovely, but it's always going to feel really odd for me being around them 24/7.

Our teacher is telling us about a Letter System we are going to be doing in our school. 'Cos it's December, everyone wants to give out cards. So we have a little post box and a monitor in each class.

I am slightly worried though 'cos I haven't actually bought one card yet. Oops?

For christmas I would kind of like foster parents. I know it sounds really weird, but I don't wanna been with my aunt and uncle and my parents aren't alive. It's my only option really.

Once when I was finishing some math homework, I looked out the window and saw a kid and his parents playing and having fun in the park.

I wish that was me. I wish this wasn't my life.

This probably sounds completely mental, doesn't it? But I can't hold this all in anymore. It's... hard, like a sum.

Moving on...

GUESS WHAT? Our teacher said we are having a disco and we have to pair up with a GIRL!! This is just great (not).

Well let me think. Anna is the new girl so maybe. Liz is cool. Sarah's funny. Hmmm... still it's a bit odd cos we have to dance with them (arrgh!)

C u l8tr,
Toby

FIREWORKS!

Liz here again!

My dad was late picking me up for After School club, and Mrs Rachi got pretty mad. Dad say he was sorry, but he didn't control what times trains stopped and started.

We drove to Brickton Hall to see the fireworks. It was already quite busy, but we didn't mind. We bought a few burgers and 7ups and then sat outside in the big field to watch the fireworks.

They were amazing!! All different colours and patterns and noises. Sometimes I wish life was as colourful and bright as the fireworks.

When I got home, Dad said I had better get started on my English homework.

Dad's got Xfactor on,

betta go!

A warm welcome from Liz

Hiya!! I'm Liz and I'm in The Big Class. Not many people have written an entry on our school blog yet, but I thought it was time that someone did.

Like I said, I'm Liz and I'm one of the kind of quiet members of the class, I suppose. I love to run and play footie and I go camping with my dad every weekend. I also love going to the movies with my friends, like Sarah.

Today we were doing science experiments, and it was actually really fun! We got a big bottle of Diet Coke and some mentos. Then, we put the mentos inside the bottle with the coke, shaked the people and... BOOM!! The coke went everywhere!!!!!

We also got given school emails and ended up chatting with each other all day long. After school I had to go to the after school club.

As my Dad has a pretty busy job, he usually can't pick me up. Sometimes that kind of annoys me, 'cos I get dumped at after school club.

At the AS club, you can play and chat and there are even some computers. But I usually sit in a corner, and finish my homework. No one in my class goes to the AS club, except me and a boy called Jamie.

Jamie doesn't talk much, but he is a tech-whizz. He is always going on the computers or playing with his Ipad or Ipod Touch or Iphone. His mum works for the apple store, so he gets loads of stuff for cheap prices.

Gotta go, it's time for pizza. I will message u soon because Dad is taking me to the firework display at Brickton Hall.

Bye!
Liz

Sarah Again

Hello! It's me Sarah again, I'll start from where I ended last time...

The new girl was called Anna and she is quite shy. At lunch break, we asked her if she wanted to play skipping games with us.

"No thank you, but that is a very kind offer", Anna had said.

Then Katie walked over to us, her posse trailing behind. "If it isn't Sarah and her stupid friends. Ha ha! My parents are both coming on the school trip next week. I bet yours aren't!".

Katie was right. My parents hadn't  been interested in the trip really. But I wasn't going to let Katie beat me up about it. 

"Well, no. My parents are not coming because they have much more important things to do. They're going to a fancy tea with their famous author friend", I invented.

"That isn't true, your parents spilt up, they don't want to spend time together!".

I felt hot tears steam into my eyes, and then the weirdest thing happened.

Anna, who we thought was all shy, punched Katie in the face!!!!

We all gasped and Anna smiled proudly. She had beat the school bully.

"Uugh! Thanks a lot, stupid new girl and stupid new girl's friends!! I'll get you!", Katie screamed.

We all giggled, we tried to stop, but we couldn't!

At home, Mum was on her computer. She was writing a note to her fans, she is an author. This lady called Rose helped her create a fansite, so she writes things to her fans and chats to them sometimes.

"How was school?".
"Awesome!".
