Sunny Days: Issue Four

Heya readers! This is another issue of... Kool Kids! Issue Four (this issue) is packed with loads of awesome articles and more!

News

I've decided to give you some real news, shown in newspapers and TV programmes. Here's our first one: "Pushy Parents Are Taking All The Joy Out Of Childhood" says Headmistress. Competitive parents are booking tutors for their sons and daughters who are of a young age. A headmistress has quoted that's it's taking the joy out of childhood for many. Some mothers and fathers are even getting their children to have lessons at the weekend and getting them to do extra cirricular activities. That means they're doing about fourty  hours (or more) of school work and out of school but school related clubs! Do you think this is fair? Email me at abbybronte@hotmail.co.uk to tell me what you think.

I've made up my mind to add a new part to the newspaper... Tips! This week's tips are on what to do on the first day of a new club you start.

1. Smile, people will smile back and think you friendly

2. Try your best. Listen to instructors and do the best of your ability, it shows you are courageous.

3. Have fun! Don't ever continue a club if you don't like it! Parents want you to enjoy yourself!

Short Story

Continued... "Um... There's my Mum! Got to go!" faked Jane and she pointed to a plump lady pushing a pram. The tall woman rushed on and as Jane passed the plump lady she noticed the she was looking at her. Sternly. As if she shouldn't be there. Then Jane saw a man playing with his little girl, he looked reliable. "Sir, would you by any chance know the way to Angleton Gardens? I need to get there".

"Keep going straight on. There will be a road called Lavender Lane there, go down that road and Angleton is the second house on the left. Need a ride?" the man cheerily helped.

"No thank you. I appreciate your help, bye!" Jane stuttered and she raced like a formula one down the road so that the man wouldn't be able to catch up with her.

Lavender Lane really did smell of lavender. Jane checked the numbers, the left side was even, right side odd. She went to the left side and searched for number four. Soon enough it was found and she tapped, tapped, tapped on the door. A little girrl about nine opened the door and grinned tremendously! "MISS CRISTEN! THERE'S AN ORPHAN AT THE DOOR FOR YOU!" the girl screamed as she turned her back to Jane and stared impatiently at the stairs.

Who is this girl and who is Miss Cristen? Find out next time!

Competition Time!

Short Story

"Jane Adams". When Mrs Mill said Jane's name Jane didn't respond, she was in a nightmare where she'd been told she was to leave and... But soon Jane's nightmare turned back into reality. Anna sniffed and hugged Jane tight. "Bye then smelly pants!" Sandy jeered and Erin threw a cushion at her. "Mrs Mill it can't be Jane!" Chris said. "I'm afraid it is Master Caperns" Mrs Mill replied. Anna went ghost white like Jane and took her up to her bedroom to pack.

"Angleton Gardens, it's going to be horrible isn't it?" Jane negatively announced to Anna. "Don't talk like that! You'll be having so much fun that you'll forget about me and Chris and everyone!" Anna positively corrected. A tear rolled down Jane's cheek and Anna held her by the arms. "Take this! It's a magical bracelet. When I was younger my Mum took me to see Ms Rocha Ackleys, a famous fortune teller. Ms Rocha gave me two magic bracelets so you can have the pearl pink one" Anna put the piece of jewellery in Jane's hand snd continued putting away books.

Embleson Gates had finished wishing their final goodbyes so Mrs Mill took Jane to the door. "Just wait outside, the taxi company, Total Taxis will be here soon. They are your transport to Angleton Gardens. Good luck!" Mrs Mill wished Jane and she closed the door. Jane was finally out of Embleson Gates, the orphanage. She stood, holding her bags for five minutes, ten, fifteen, twenty! Jane gave up and decided to ask someone the way, she would walk. She came across a tall lady in a black suit. Her experssion showed that she was tired and she smelt of Wonderland Perfume. "Excuse me? I hate to bother you but I wondered if you knew the way to Angleton Gardens?" Jane attempted. "I'm sorry, I don't know the way! You see I've just moved here with my... Wait a minute! Have you got a guardian?" the woman realised.

More of this story will be in next week's issue! I'm still doing the competitions from last week so enter!

Lots of love, Abigail Bronte xoxo

Short Story

Continued from last week...

Jane loathed Erin when she tried to get a peek at what Sarah was saying to her. Sandy couldn't bother. Sandy got very angry with Jane when she wouldn't get off a laptop. Sandy played a game online named Tiny Toes where you were a tiny person in a massive city. If she couldn't get on it she would scream and scratch and shout. "Come on Jane! I really wanted to play Bowling Bizarre with you! And you promised last week" Erin persuaded. "Why didn't you ask me then?" Sandy wondered. "Doesn't matter" forgot Erin and she skipped into the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready kids!" Mrs Mill called.

So Jane typed to Sarah:

Gotta go! See you l8tr!

Turned off the laptop and ran into the kitchen. Jane sat down and peered at Mrs Mill who was handing out bowls of Cookie Crisp and placing jugs of orange juice on the table. Bradley Forns and Anna Emphsdale came in. Anna unlike Jane had short blonde, curly hair up to her shoulders. Jane had long, straight brown hair. Anna was quiet and liked to be on her own. She was also trustworthy and secretive. Anna sat on the seat next to Jane, Bradley went next to Lola Benton, a sixteen year old girl training to be a model. Typical.

"Eat up kids!" Chris urged. They tucked in, slurping up the orange and letting the Cookie Crisp rest sweetly in their mouths. "So, when will we find out, Mrs Mill?" Sandy grinned nastily at Jane. "Find out what? Oh! Today" Mrs Mill revealed. Everyone gasped, even Sandy. "But it was only a couple of days ago that Joe left!" Abigail insisted. "Yes I know that and I don't need to be informed again! Whoever leaves today will go to Angleton Gardens, a better orphanage" Mrs Mill replied. "What you think is good is rubbish to the rest of us!" Sandy pointed out. "Right! That's it! You will eat in silence and, Sandy?". "Yeah?". "No laptop today" Mrs Mill inclined. Sandy stamped her feet and dramatically exited the room. "I told you so" Erin cheeked. "Don't you start too, Miss Shirty!" Mrs Mill snapped.

"Okay guys, let's go and play in the garden" Chris exclaimed and they followed him out. Jane didn't want to play football so cheered her team on which was Bradley, James, Erin, Abigail and Jade. Anna didn't play either. Jade Vengley was the best girl footballer in Embleson Gates and was a team player. James Beige had had a crush on her for nearly four years! She hadn't noticed! "She's good isn't she? Jade" Jane muttered to Anna. "Very! The boys absolutely adore her!" Anna giggled and Jane did too! "Sandy is so mean! Whoever goes today I'm going to help them and be their friend. How about you?" Anna asked Jane. "I'll help them too but I still think it'll be me and then, then ..." Jane spoke. "Don't worry! I'm sure it won't be you! Jade scored a goal, look!" she gestured to the goal post where a celebrating Jade jumped up and down. They cheered and the team ran around the garden.

"Now please don't be upset about this everyone but I'm about to say who is leaving Embleson Gates". They all looked at each other anxiously. "That person is...".

Mrs Claus

Guess what? The other day I was shopping in Waitrose and I met Mrs Claus! So I decided to ask her if I could do an interview and she was delighted!

Me: It's lovely to see you Mrs Claus! Have you been busy lately?

M.Claus: Lovely to see you too! I have been busy recently actually! I've been shopping and baking cookies for Mr Claus

Me: Sounds like fun! Where do you shop at?

M.Claus: Next, Primark, BHS, all of those places. I usually go to Marks & Spencers to get my food

Me: Do you have any children?

M.Claus: Yes I do infact. I have two grown up children and a little girl. Angela is twenty eight, Tommy is forty and Sarah who is twelve.

Me: Have you ever adopted a child?

M.Claus: We adopted Sarah. Sarah's mum died quickly after she was born so Sarah didn't have a proper family until we adopted her

Me: That's so sad that she doesn't have her mum anymore! But I bet you are like a mum to her!

M.Claus: I love it when she calls me mum. It makes me feel like she's comfortable and settled

Me: Ahhhhh! So apart from being in charge of many, many elf  toy companies do you have a business?

M.Claus: I do! I run my own card business, I have a little cafe and I have a homemade shop where things I've made myself are bought

Me: I think I'll go to all of those! They sound good!

M.Claus: I'm glad you think so!

Me: Anyway it's been really nice meeting you, thank you!

M.Claus: That's okay! Bye!

 Short Story

My story starts with the most simple thing. So just wait and see!

Jane Adams was alone in the world. She had lost her Mum, Dad and Grandma. She looked out of her window in Embleson Gates and sighed. Life couldn't possibly be worse. Jane was a shy girl and found it hard to make friends. She didn't have a single friend at the orphanage and often felt like she was an animal, locked in a cage. Although everyone in Embleson Gates got a chance to go shopping or go to the park she didn't feel like it was a lot of freedom. Jane had lived in Embleson Gates for nearly all of her life. Even though Mrs Mill who ran the orphanage was pleasant, she was a little weird.

She had bought over one hundred lottery tickets and still hadn't won even ten pounds! Another worker there, Chris. Chris was a friendly, welcoming soul who believed everyone deserved more than one chance in life. Chris was the only person Jane talked to regularly. Jane had her own room in Embleson Gates which she spent most of her time in. It was painted sea blue and had sparkles scattered on every bit of the wall. Books lay in piles by her bed and a picture of Chris and Jane when they went on the carousel stood straightly on a bedside table.

But really, Jane was just an ordinary twelve year old who liked the same things and had the same ambitions. However, Jane was scared. On the eleventh of Feburary each year a child was taken to another orphanage of some kind. It was because Embleson Gates couldn't afford to look after all the children so whoever was first on the list got sent away and Jane thought it would be her. After all , her surname started with “a” which meant she would be near the top of the list. Jane took the stairs down to the living room and grabbed one of the computers before anyone else could.

“Hey Janey! Why are you so down?” Erin Lackshire enquired. “Oh. It's nothing...” Jane replied. She was feeling rather secretive and anyway, was Erin a friend or foe? “I've learnt that if someone says “nothing” then it means something is up. So what is it?” Erin tried again. “Just leave me alone!” Jane demanded. “Watch it Jane! Erin was only being kind!” Sandy Tootmekits defended. Erin gave Sandy a look as if to say “why did you do that?”. Erin and Sandy were best friends but Erin was the more understanding one. Jane had dreamt before of Erin being her best friend but she knew that if she tried then Sandy would make her history. Jane scowled at Sandy. Anyway, what did she know? Jane logged on to Chat Club, a website where you could chat to people all over the world. On Chat Club you had a contact list so that you would be able to chat to someone again.

Jane had only one contact, Sarah Winter. Sarah was twelve too but lived in Great Ellsville, a long way away from Jane. Sarah was a bit richer than Jane though. Her family owned Maddison Fields, a posh, luxurious hotel. Jane revealed everything to Sarah and even woke up early to gossip to her. Chat Club was also very useful, if you wanted to have a chat to a contact you just clicked “send sound” and a sound came on your alarm clock at whatever time you needed to pursue.

For more of this story, wait for the next issue of Kool Kids and I will continue to the next paragraph. Hope you enjoyed my story so far!
