Tomatoes by Logan.

It's red coat shows its evil within. It try's to look innocent, but yet, nothing can change that. It squirts its disgusting insides at me as I tear it open. It's little seeds are like mini minions, choosing the dark side over the light. It tries to overwhelms my mouth with its disastrous juices but I regurgitate it before it can. It reforms to try and fool its next victim, but tomatoes will never fool me again.

The lake's wonders

The hills surrounding me tower above the tallest trees. Birds with the sunlight bouncing off the cool, peaceful water. The buoys belonging to the slalom course bob up and down in the wake of the boats.  I hear laughter, there is always laughter around here.

Some things you just can't ignore, the glamour of the lake is one of those few things. With it's incredible cliffs and glamorous waters , the weed doesn't change anything. Absolutely nothing can ruin my special place.

The Secret Cave...(the attic)

As you enter the gloomy dark room you get a whiff of a musty and mouldy smell. As the door opens wider the light chases the spiders away. You shut the door ever so silently as you creep across the hard wooden creaking floor. You find your way in darkness to a dark window. You plop down onto the floor and snuggle up in a heap of tattered blankets. Your eyes drift up to the ceiling which has a big hole planted in the middle. You rest your back against the window. It shifts a little. You pull back the curtain covering the window. Light fills the room. You look out of the window and you see something that makes your heart sink. Sun rays dancing on the tip of the trees. It's already your bedtime. So you go back through the door and snuggle up in your bed so tight with the memory of the room still in your mind...

My room

My room

It's dark and gloomy like a cave.

When the light flicks on you see a big mess.

Books are strewn all over the floor and the ocean blue book case is almost full.

There's a dresser with drawers wide open and clothes hanging out of them.

Dark and gloomy.

Books everywhere.

Clothes everywhere.

"Pass the ball!"

We arrived. My eyes scanned over the surface. It was smooth gravel worn down by many running feet. White lines are the barriers. If you go over the lines it's like falling into lava, your doomed. The other team would have an advantage. The lines were wearing and needed some serious re-painting. The courts were long and spacious enough to run and bounce everywhere. At least 19 courts stretch over the big concret/gravel area. I had one more look a long one on the court I was playing on. This is where I would play. By Rumaysa Barnes
