Picture Writing

I was told to meet Corey at 12:00PM no earlier no later. I was told to meet Corey at the Cafe on Brunswick Road. I was told to meet him on the second seat across from the front door. There was something sceptical about this, I have never met him, I don’t know what he looks like, how old he is or anything else about him.

Anyway I decided to go, I have got nothing to lose. I had a sleepless night thinking of all of the scenarios that could possibly happen. I fell asleep at about 6:30AM, I was in a deep sleep probably because I needed it and I didn’t sleep the whole night. I wake, get out of bed and check my phone and the time says 11:33, Im screaming in my head but I keep quiet. I put on my best suit, do my hair and by the time I leave it’s 11:51. It felt like I honked my horn a thousand times on the way, traffic always seems to go slow when i’m in a rush.

I arrive at 12:01PM and slowly walk over to the second seat across from the front door. I see a light brown briefcase sitting on the chair not sure whether to open it or not. I decide to open it, and what I see is a small red glass bottle with some sort of liquid in it. I have nothing to lose so I drink it. Instantly everything looks different, it’s like I travelled to the future...

Matahiwi Marae Trip

Today all of the year 8 students and teachers went to the Matahiwi Marae. We had been learning about who speaks first and when we sing and things like that. We sung our school song after some people at the marae did a talk. We had a bite to eat after about an hour of singing and eating. Later on the three people who were welcoming us onto the marae showed and talked to us about the main meeting hall ( the wharenui ), the other eating hall and the front gate where we do the singing and talking.
