*this is my first story so I am very nervous about it and I hope you enjoy reading it*
*******
Sarah Smith was 10 years old. She lived in a small town in a small city in a county in Ireland. She also went to a small school, she had lots of friends but she only had three who she could really trust. There was Jackson he was 12 he went to her school and he was her neighbour, he might be 12 but Jackson and Sarah get on like brother and sister. Then there was Jenny she was also 12 but her and Sarah were BFFs. Lastly there was Kyle he was 11 and Jackson's brother. Kyle loved going on adventures and playing with toy guns while Jenny would love painting and drawing because she is a really good artist, Jackson would love writing fantasy comics and he was a real smarty pants and finally Sarah, well Sarah would just stare at the sky and wonder about the universe and when she wasn't doing that she was drawing super heroes. A strange group of friends but they all got on really well, but sometimes they fought like cat and mouse but most of the time they were best friends.
One Friday at school at break time I was hanging out with Jackson "Jackson?" I asked "do you believe in aliens?" "of course I do" he replied "what would make you say that?" "I don't know I say stuff, weird stuff just ignore me" I said. Just then Kyle ran over "Hi Sarah hi bro" said Kyle "hi Kyle" said me and Jackson. "So whatta guys talking about?" asked Kyle "why do you wanna know?" asked Jackson "Jackson I got this OK?" I said trying to stop a fight "we are talking about aliens are you happy now?" I told him "oh Sarah told you know aliens aren't real" he told me" "yeah well at least I got 98% in maths and I'm younger than you and you just got 69% so THERE!" "OK I suppose but........." said Kyle but before he could finish Terry came over "Hey Sarah!" he shouted at me "you look sick maybe you should tell the teacher!" Terry always picked on me because he was older but actually he was no older than Kyle!! But this time I didn't know what he meant! "Um Terry? I'm not sick" I told him "are you sure?" he asked "yeah I am" "well whatta bout know!!!" he said and he pulled out a big slimy slug from behind his back!!!! I felt like getting sick but I knew if I did no one would go near me ever again!! "Terry go away!" I yelled at him "Terry leave her alone she didn't do anything!" said Kyle and Jackson. But he didn't stop, he just kept chasing me with it. After a while he gave up "ha! have you, have you have enough?" I panted, after he caught his breath he said:"no I'm fine the real question is have YOU had enough!?" "what do you mean?" then he put the slug on the ground (I thought was just gonna walk away but I was wrong, very wrong) then he stamped on it!!! Terry gave me a wicked smile and asked me again: "are you sure your not sick?" yes I was sick I felt like getting sick right were I stood I didn't care if anyone saw me, so I ran I ran inside the classroom I ran into the bathroom and can I just say it didn't look pretty. When I came out to the playground Terry was standing there, the teacher was behind and he had a smug look on his face. "I didn't do anything I-I swear" I said nervously "its OK Sarah, Terry told us what happened" said the teacher "w-what did he tell you?" I asked "its OK Sarah its alright just calm down we know you got sick because Jackson squashed a slug" "JACKSON!?" "don't worry he's in detention for what he done" I stared at Terry I was really angry at him. Just then the teacher said: "we should probably send you home" "no! no! I'm fine really! see!" I knew I shouldn't go home because if I did Terry would've got what he wanted so I stayed. A few minutes later the bell rang "saved by the bell" I mumbled then we went into the classroom. At school at 2:55 we packed our schoolbags and got ready to go home. Me, my brother (Darren), Terry, his brother and Allie walked home or went with our mums and dads while the others go by bus. When me and Darren got home we threw our schoolbags in the hall and got out of our school uniforms and had lunch. "Yes spaghetti!" I said "eat up" said mum. After lunch I called Jackson. "Hi Jackson" "hi Sarah" "look I'm really sorry about what happened at school" "its OK really do you wanna come to my house?" "sure I'm on my way oh and by the way I got a brand new telescope I'll bring it over to show you OK bye!" When I got to Jackson and Kyle's house I went into the living room where Jackson and Kyle were watching TV, I showed Jackson my telescope, hung up my coat and we went outside on their trampoline. After a half an hour of bouncing it was 5:15 so Jackson and Kyle's mum made dinner for me "burger and chips yum" I said finishing my dinner "thanks Jackson and Kyle's mum" "no problem Sarah" she replied. After dinner it started to get dark so me, Jackson and Kyle went outside to try out my telescope I went first then Jackson then Kyle, then he said:"this is awesome I do admit I don't think aliens are real or cool but, but space is SO COOL!" At 5:45 I went home "how was it Sarah?" asked my mum "it was lovely their mum made burger and chips and I showed them my telescope Kyle loved it!" I replied.
