A voice came from the kitchen saying “Tommy Get out of bed its time for school”. Tommy lay there wishing it was still the weekend, but got up any way and started to get dressed.

As he was brushing his teeth and combing his hair, he saw something lurking around in his garden. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had really seen something or was it that he hadn’t fully woken up yet? But sure enough there was the thing he saw, jumping up and down in the garden again. Tommy didn’t know what it was, he thought to him self “was it a rabbit...No rabbits are much bigger then this. Was it a dog...No dogs can’t jump as high as this little creature”. So Tommy came to conclusion that this was not a usual creature or an animal that you see in your every day lives, this was a creature that hadn’t been discovered yet.

So Tommy quickly put on his school uniform and run out side hoping he hadn’t missed this exciting new thing in tommy’s vegetable garden. As you can imagine Tommy already was thinking of what he was going to do with the money he got from discovering a new thing in the world, $500, $900, maybe even $1000 he said to him self.

As he got closer to the garden, his hopes of being rich dropped like a rock, the thing that he saw was gone. Tommy searched every where, in the garden around the garden, even in the gardening shed but there was no sign of the creature. He felt like crying, no one would believe him if he told them that there was a creature in his backyard that hadn’t been discovered yet, he didn’t even believe what he was saying ether.

But as he was gloomily walking back to the house he herd a strange sound coming from in the big dead oak tree beside the garden. He turned slowing as he thought he was dreaming again, but sure enough there was the most tiniest, weakest looking animal that Tommy had ever seen. He ran up to the tree hoping this time he would catch this thing and get the reward money. But Tommy had never learn’t to clime trees so he ran to get the ladder. He put the ladder against the tree, climbed it slowly getting closer and closer to his new discovery. They both locked eyes, making it awkward. I’m almost there, I’m almost there, he thought in his head making sure he didn’t say it out loud and scare the creature. But just as he reached the half a meter mark he garbed the creature before it could disappear like last time and held it so tight that he nearly felt of the ladder. He climbed very slowly and carefully making sure he didn’t let the creature go. He ran as fast as he could straight to the house.

Then...Tommy!!, Tommy, TOMMY. Tommy woke, finding his mum in his face. Get ready for school I’m leaving in 5. Tommy looked out the window, there was no sign of the creature. It most of been a DREAM!

A Journey to Italy

A voice came from the kitchen saying “Tommy Get out of bed its time for school”. tommy lay there wishing it was still the weekend. He hated school, Not just hated he dreaded school. It was his worst nightmare. Every time he walked through those school gates, his morning started with...look theres the dork or ewww don’t go near him you’ll catch the wimp disease, But the worst thing of all was the schools bully, Tisane mullet. Every time Tommy saw Tisane, Tommy tried to avoid eye contact, But that seemed to always fail. “Tommy get up his mum called for the second time” even though tommy hated school the law said he had to go, he even checked him self. when he tried to fake being sick or sleep in late, his mum wouldn’t be convinced and send him to school on the bus... and you do not want to get started on the bus. Lets just say every time he walked of the bus he had saw shoulders and elbows from being pushed and shoved and bruises from being hit and thumped. As you can see Tommy was not one of those popular kids that had heaps of friends and good grades in his school work, in-fact he was the complete opposite. At that moment Tommy’s mum trudged in to his room and said “ if your not out of your bed in 1 minutes then you will be on dishes for 2 months. Tommy dragged him self out of bed knowing he couldn't delay it any longer and went straight to the bathroom. He felt like staying there for 6 hours till school ended, but he new he couldn’t, When he had, had a shower, combed his hair, brushed his teeth and got ready for school, He walked to the kitchen where him mum was making his lunch and looked at her miserably, as usual she ignored his face, put his lunch in his bag went to the car and expected him to follow, and he did. they were both silent as his mum drove him to school. when she slowed near the school she said, “bye sweetie, I love you, have a good day”. Tommy thought it was impossible to have a good day at school but said “okay, I love you to”. He hoped out and she drove off and he wishing she hadn’t.

He walked slowly, foot by foot, in through the school gate, and then then it started. “ewww look over there” a girl said “ ha ha what a geek” said another one. This made tommy feel stupid and lonely already and the day hadn’t even started. He ran and ran and ran to get away from all of this. “THUMP”, he ran into something, “what was it”, he said to him self “ I don’t remember there being a pole there”. He slowly looked up, as he did he saw a face looking down at him. Yup...you guest it, Tisane mullet. Tisane was standing tall and proud ready to bully. Tommy stood up slowly, he tried to tern away and engorge tisane but that didn’t work, Tisane garbed tommy by the collar and held him close to his face. “where do ya think your goin” Tommy shut his eyes and tolled him “to the bathroom?” “not by your self ya not”. Tisane dropped tommy then held him by his arm. As tommy got dragged to the bathroom, Tisane said quietly to tommy “are you ready for the toilet dunk”. The toilet dunk was not a pleasant thing if you were wondering, it was when some one held your face in the toilet and flushed. you can think of the rest... yea not pretty. As tisane was just about to take him in to the boys bathroom mr cage came round the corner and saw the two and yelled out to tisane. “stop right there young man what do you think your doing”. “um me and tommy were just having a rumble! ay tommy, Tisane looked at tommy with an anxious smile, Tommy nodded slowly knowing that if he didn’t say yes then Tisane would get pay back some day. “well stop and think of something els to do because thats not a sensible thing to be doing”. Tisane loosened tommy’s arm and said ”yes sir”. “Mr Cage carried on walking as if nothing happened so did tisane after he said to tommy ”you got saved this time but you better watch out next time”. tommy nodded again. As you could of imagined tommy felt so relieved, if mr cage hadn't of walked by, Tommy would be in the toilet getting dunked.

Later that day, after lunch, Tommy was sitting in history class waiting until the teaches deep voice stopped talking and the end of the day bell to ring. He was staring out the window when he saw a strange looking man wearing nothing but some baggie brown pants and a rugged old coat. The man gestured to tommy with his finger and told him to follow him. Tommy looked at the strange old man thinking that he was crazy but decided to follow him any way. “mr cage” Tommy said, getting out of his set. “can I be excused from class for a moment”. “sure Tommy, but be quick”. “okay”. so tommy ran out side and saw that where the old man was, he was not there any more. Tommy walked slowly over to the corner where he last saw the man and pecked around, nothing was there! Tommy felt like forgetting all about the man and running back to class but he was determined to find the man and ask what he wanted from him. Suddenly Tommy got Touched on the shoulder from behind, Tommy slowly turned around, as he did he saw the old man looking at him wide eyed. “I am Joseph Wilson and I am here to to tell you that you are special and have lots of talents” said the man as they both meat eye to eye. Tommy looked surprised.”Are you sure you don’t have the wrong person sir”. “No Tommy you are the one I want and need”. “want for what” you and I are going to Italy, I need to find something there, and you would be great for a partner. Tommy looked astonished “me are you sure you want me” yes tommy you are the one. Tommy new his mum wouldn’t allow this, so he decided to go with the man now and call his mum latter when they are on the plane or even in Italy. Tommy was happy but a little bit frightened, Him, Tommy flits-burg was going to Italy.

Tommy looked out the window as him and the man were driving to the airport.” Joseph, what are you looking for in Italy” Tommy asked “um, well, you’ll see”. Tommy was getting a bit worried now. What if the man was a scam and was lying and was going to kidnap him. Tommy still wanted to go, because he had no excitement in his life and wanted just one journey or something to look forward to. As the car pulled up to a huge building the had the words written big on the front ”Auckland airport”. Now as you could imagine Tommy had butterflies in his stomach and was getting restless. He had never been on a plane before, what if they crashed or had and accident he thought. As you can see tommy if one of those people that says that the class is half empty, not half full. A voice came from the loud speakers saying. “Flight to Rome, Italy is going to leave Auckland airport in 5 minutes”.” Well boy, thats us, we better go”. Joseph and I walked slowly up to the counter, Joseph gave the tall skinny lady our tickets and waited for her to say we could go in. At last she said ”Okay gentle men, through you go. Tommy walked, step by step through the long passage way in to the entrance of the plane. There was a plump nice looking man dressed in a pilots uniform standing at the plane door welcoming people onto the plane, he said to us. “Hello men, Coming to Italy?” ”yes sir” Joseph replayed. “Well then welcome abroad. i’ll be your pilot for you this evening”. Joseph nodded, then smiled at the man. They walked into a crowed and quite cramped room with 20 odd people sitting waiting for the plane to take off. They both walked down the easel looking for two seats to begin they journey to italy. There were only 2 seats left lucky for them but they were apart from each other, that was the unlucky part. They both looked at each other and said goodbye with there eyes and split to sit in there sets that they were given. Joseph was seated by an old lady that did nothing but slept, if there was a chance that she was awake she would be eating like a pig. The old lady did not pay any attention to Mr Wilson, Tommy felt sorry for the old man, when ever Joseph looked at tommy, tommy would try to make him happier and pull funny faces or do something silly, it often didn’t work but it was worth a go. On the other hand Tommy was sitting next to a girl his age and not much different to tommy. She was shy at first but after a while on the plane she started talking to Tommy. “Hello whats your name” she said “Tommy, and yours” “Selena”. They both got into a quite deep convocation and were talking for quite a long time. Then Tommy said ”Who are you traveling with”.”ummm...my dad? she said as if she was unsure.”where is he, Isn’t he suppose to be sitting where I am”. Now she was looking a bit pale, Tommy new she was trying to think of something to change topic with.”ummm...who are you traveling with” she said sighing with relief”. Well I am actually not traveling with my mum or my dad or any one I know”. Then who are you traveling with”. someone came up to me at school today and told me I had to come with him to Italy!”Tommy said,” are you sure he’s not a criminal or a kidnapper”.”No I’m not sure but I went with him any” wow your brave. For once in Tommy’s life he felt worth something he felt good about him self, the girl said Tommy was BRAVE no one had ever told tommy was brave.”thanks” he said shyly. Soon after that conversation, both of them fell into a deep sleep and stayed like that for the rest of the flight.

Then a voice sounded over the speaker. “we are heading into Italy in 5 minutes so find your bags, put your set belts on and get reading for our descend to Italy airport”. Tommy woke with a fright, they both did. tommy just remembered he was with a stranger on a plane to italy, he was starting to miss his mum, He was wondering what his mum would be thinking right now, What if she called the police before he called her, well he said to him self, she’ll just have to wait.

There was a plump nice looking man dressed in a pilots uniform standing at the plane door welcoming people onto the plane, he said to us. “Hello men, Coming to Italy?” ”yes sir” Joseph replayed. “Well then welcome abroad. i’ll be your pilot for you this evening”. Joseph nodded, then smiled at the man. They walked into a crowed and quite cramped room with 20 odd people sitting waiting for the plane to take off. They both walked down the easel looking for two seats to begin they journey to italy. There were only 2 seats left lucky for them but they were apart from each other, that was the unlucky part. They both looked at each other and said goodbye with there eyes and split to sit in there sets that they were given. Joseph was seated by an old lady that did nothing but slept, if there was a chance that she was awake she would be eating like a pig. The old lady did not pay any attention to Mr Wilson, Tommy felt sorry for the old man, when ever Joseph looked at tommy, tommy would try to make him happier and pull funny faces or do something silly, it often didn’t work but it was worth a go. On the other hand Tommy was sitting next to a girl his age and not much different to tommy. She was shy at first but after a while on the plane she started talking to Tommy. “Hello whats your name” she said “Tommy, and yours” “Selena”. They both got into a quite deep convocation and were talking for quite a long time. Then Tommy said ”Who are you traveling with”.”ummm...my dad? she said as if she was unsure.”where is he, Isn’t he suppose to be sitting where I am”. Now she was looking a bit pale, Tommy new she was trying to think of something to change topic with.”ummm...who are you traveling with” she said sighing with relief”. Well I am actually not traveling with my mum or my dad or any one I know”. Then who are you traveling with”. someone came up to me at school today and told me I had to come with him”Tommy said,” are you sure he’s not a criminal or a kidnapper”.”No I’m not sure but I went with him any” wow your brave.

A Journey to Italy

A voice came from the kitchen saying “Tommy Get out of bed its time for school”. tommy lay there wishing it was still the weekend. He hated school, Not just hated he dreaded school. It was his worst nightmare. Every time he walked through those school gates, his morning started with...look theres the dork or ewww don’t go near him you’ll catch the wimp disease, But the worst thing of all was the schools bully, Tisane mullet. Every time Tommy saw Tisane, Tommy tried to avoid eye contact, But that seemed to always fail. “Tommy get up his mum called for the second time” even though tommy hated school the law said he had to go, he even checked him self. when he tried to fake being sick or sleep in late, his mum wouldn’t be convinced and send him to school on the bus... and you do not want to get started on the bus. Lets just say every time he walked of the bus he had saw shoulders and elbows from being pushed and shoved and bruises from being hit and thumped. As you can see Tommy was not one of those popular kids that had heaps of friends and good grades in his school work, in-fact he was the complete opposite. At that moment Tommy’s mum trudged in to his room and said “ if your not out of your bed in 1 minutes then you will be on dishes for 2 months. Tommy dragged him self out of bed knowing he couldn't delay it any longer and went straight to the bathroom. He felt like staying there for 6 hours till school ended, but he new he couldn’t, When he had, had a shower, combed his hair, brushed his teeth and got ready for school, He walked to the kitchen where him mum was making his lunch and looked at her miserably, as usual she ignored his face, put his lunch in his bag went to the car and expected him to follow, and he did. they were both silent as his mum drove him to school. when she slowed near the school she said, “bye sweetie, I love you, have a good day”. Tommy thought it was impossible to have a good day at school but said “okay, I love you to”. He hoped out and she drove off and he wishing she hadn’t.

He walked slowly, foot by foot, in through the school gate, and then then it started. “ewww look over there” a girl said “ ha ha what a geek” said another one. This made tommy feel stupid and lonely already and the day hadn’t even started. He ran and ran and ran to get away from all of this. “THUMP”, he ran into something, “what was it”, he said to him self “ I don’t remember there being a pole there”. He slowly looked up, as he did he saw a face looking down at him. Yup...you guest it, Tisane mullet. Tisane was standing tall and proud ready to bully. Tommy stood up slowly, he tried to tern away and engorge tisane but that didn’t work, Tisane garbed tommy by the collar and held him close to his face. “where do ya think your goin” Tommy shut his eyes and tolled him “to the bathroom?” “not by your self ya not”. Tisane dropped tommy then held him by his arm. As tommy got dragged to the bathroom, Tisane said quietly to tommy “are you ready for the toilet dunk”. The toilet dunk was not a pleasant thing if you were wondering, it was when some one held your face in the toilet and flushed. you can think of the rest... yea not pretty. As tisane was just about to take him in to the boys bathroom mr cage came round the corner and saw the two and yelled out to tisane. “stop right there young man what do you think your doing”. “um me and tommy were just having a rumble! ay tommy, Tisane looked at tommy with an anxious smile, Tommy nodded slowly knowing that if he didn’t say yes then Tisane would get pay back some day. “well stop and think of something els to do because thats not a sensible thing to be doing”. Tisane loosened tommy’s arm and said ”yes sir”. “Mr Cage carried on walking as if nothing happened so did tisane after he said to tommy ”you got saved this time but you better watch out next time”. tommy nodded again. As you could of imagined tommy felt so relieved, if mr cage hadn't of walked by, Tommy would be in the toilet getting dunked.

Later that day, after lunch, Tommy was sitting in history class waiting until the teaches deep voice stopped talking and the end of the day bell to ring. He was staring out the window when he saw a strange looking man wearing nothing but some baggie brown pants and a rugged old coat. The man gestured to tommy with his finger and told him to follow him. Tommy looked at the strange old man thinking that he was crazy but decided to follow him any way. “mr cage” Tommy said, getting out of his set. “can I be excused from class for a moment”. “sure Tommy, but be quick”. “okay”. so tommy ran out side and saw that where the old man was, he was not there any more. Tommy walked slowly over to the corner where he last saw the man and pecked around, nothing was there! Tommy felt like forgetting all about the man and running back to class but he was determined to find the man and ask what he wanted from him. Suddenly Tommy got Touched on the shoulder from behind, Tommy slowly turned around, as he did he saw the old man looking at him wide eyed. “I am Joseph Wilson and I am here to to tell you that you are special and have lots of talents” said the man as they both meat eye to eye. Tommy looked surprised.”Are you sure you don’t have the wrong person sir”. “No Tommy you are the one I want and need”. “want for what” you and I are going to Italy, I need to find something there, and you would be great for a partner. Tommy looked astonished “me are you sure you want me” yes tommy you are the one. Tommy new his mum wouldn’t allow this, so he decided to go with the man now and call his mum latter when they are on the plane or even in Italy. Tommy was happy but a little bit frightened, Him, Tommy flits-burg was going to Italy.

Tommy looked out the window as him and the man were driving to the airport.” Joseph, what are you looking for in Italy” Tommy asked “um, well, you’ll see”. Tommy was getting a bit worried now. What if the man was a scam and was lying and was going to kidnap him. Tommy still wanted to go, because he had no excitement in his life and wanted just one journey or something to look forward to. As the car pulled up to a huge building the had the words written big on the front ”Auckland airport”. Now as you could imagine Tommy had butterflies in his stomach and was getting restless. He had never been on a plane before, what if they crashed or had and accident he thought. As you can see tommy if one of those people that says that the class is half empty, not half full. A voice came from the loud speakers saying. “Flight to Rome, Italy is going to leave Auckland airport in 5 minutes”.” Well boy, thats us, we better go”. Joseph and I walked slowly up to the counter, Joseph gave the tall skinny lady our tickets and waited for her to say we could go in. At last she said ”Okay gentle men, through you go. Tommy walked, step by step through the long passage way in to the entrance of the plane.

A Journey to Italy

A voice came from the kitchen saying “Tommy Get out of bed its time for school”. tommy lay there wishing it was still the weekend. He hated school, Not just hated he dreaded school. It was his worst nightmare. Every time he walked through those school gates, his morning started with...look theres the dork or ewww don’t go near him you’ll catch the wimp disease, But the worst thing of all was the schools bully, Tisane mullet. Every time Tommy saw Tisane, Tommy tried to avoid eye contact, But that seemed to always fail. “Tommy get up his mum called for the second time” even though tommy hated school the law said he had to go, he even checked him self. when he tried to fake being sick or sleep in late, his mum wouldn’t be convinced and send him to school on the bus... and you do not want to get started on the bus. Lets just say every time he walked of the bus he had saw shoulders and elbows from being pushed and shoved and bruises from being hit and thumped. As you can see Tommy was not one of those popular kids that had heaps of friends and good grades in his school work, in-fact he was the complete opposite. At that moment Tommy’s mum trudged in to his room and said “ if your not out of your bed in 1 minutes then you will be on dishes for 2 months. Tommy dragged him self out of bed knowing he couldn't delay it any longer and went straight to the bathroom. He felt like staying there for 6 hours till school ended, but he new he couldn’t, When he had had a shower, combed his hair, brushed his teeth and got ready for school, He walked to the kitchen where him mum was making his lunch and looked at her miserably, as usual she ignored his face, put his lunch in his bag went to the car and expected him to follow, and he did. they were both silent as his mum drove him to school. when she slowed near the school she said, “bye sweetie, I love you, have a good day”. Tommy thought it was impossible to have a good day at school but said “okay, I love you to”. He hoped out and she drove off and he wishing she hadn’t.

 He walked slowly, foot by foot, in through the school gate, and then then it started. “ewww look over there” a girl said “ ha ha what a geek” said another one. This made tommy feel stupid and lonely already and the day hadn’t even started. He ran and ran and ran to get away from all of this. “THUMP”, he ran into something, “what was it”, he said to him self “ I don’t remember there being a pole there”. He slowly looked up, as he did he saw a face looking down at him. Yup...you guest it, Tisane mullet. Tisane was standing tall and proud ready to bully. Tommy stood up slowly, he tried to tern away and engorge tisane but that didn’t work, Tisane garbed tommy by the collar and held him close to his face. “where do ya think your goin” Tommy shut his eyes and tolled him “to the bathroom?” “not by your self ya not”. Tisane dropped tommy then held him by his arm. As tommy got dragged to the bathroom, Tisane said quietly to tommy “are you ready for the toilet dunk”. The toilet dunk was not a pleasant thing if you were wondering, it was when some one held your face in the toilet and flushed. you can think of the rest... yea not pretty. As tisane was just about to take him in to the boys bathroom mr cage came round the corner and saw the two and yelled out to tisane. “stop right there young man what do you think your doing”. “um me and tommy were just having a rumble! ay tommy, Tisane looked at tommy with an anxious smile, Tommy nodded slowly knowing that if he didn’t say yes then Tisane would get pay back some day. “well stop and think of something els to do because thats not a sensible thing to be doing”. Tisane loosened tommy’s arm and said ”yes sir”. “Mr Cage carried on walking as if nothing happened so did tisane after he said to tommy ”you got saved this time but you better watch out next time”. tommy nodded again. As you could of imagined tommy felt so relieved, if mr cage hadn't of walked by, Tommy would be in the toilet getting dunked.

Later that day, after lunch, Tommy was sitting in history class waiting until the teaches deep voice stopped talking and the end of the day bell to ring. He was staring out the window when he saw a strange looking man wearing nothing but some baggie brown pants and a rugged old coat. The man gestured to tommy with his finger and told him to follow him. Tommy looked at the strange old man thinking that he was crazy but decided to follow him any way. “mr cage” Tommy said, getting out of his set. “can I be excused from class for a moment”. “sure Tommy, but be quick”. “okay”. so tommy ran out side and saw that where the old man was, he was not there any more. Tommy walked slowly over to the corner where he last saw the man and pecked around, nothing was there! Tommy felt like forgetting all about the man and running back to class but he was determined to find the man and ask what he wanted from him. Suddenly Tommy got Touched on the shoulder from behind, Tommy slowly turned around, as he did he saw the old man looking at him wide eyed. “I am Joseph Wilson and I am here to to tell you that you are special and have lots of talents” said the man as they both meat eye to eye. Tommy looked surprised.”Are you sure you don’t have the wrong person sir”. “No Tommy you are the one I want and need”. “want for what” you and I are going to Italy, I need to find something there, and you would be great for a partner. Tommy looked astonished “me are you sure you want me” yes tommy you are the one. Tommy new his mum wouldn’t allow this, so he decided to go with the man now and call his mum latter when they are on the plane or even in Italy. Tommy was happy but a little bit frightened, Him Tommy flits-burg was going to Italy.

A Journey

A voice came from the kitchen saying “Tommy Get out of bed its time for school”. tommy lay there wishing it was still the weekend. He hated school, Not just hated he dreaded school. It was his worst nightmare. Every time he walked through those school gates, his morning started with...look theres the dork or ewww don’t go near him you’ll catch the wimp disease, But the worst thing of all was the schools bully, Tisane mullet. Every time Tommy saw Tisane, Tommy tried to avoid eye contact, But that seemed to always fail. “Tommy get up his mum called for the second time” even though tommy hated school the law said he had to go, he even checked him self. when he tried to fake being sick or sleep in late, his mum wouldn’t be convinced and send him to school on the bus... and you do not want to get started on the bus. Lets just say every time he walked of the bus he had saw shoulders and elbows from being pushed and shoved and bruises from being hit and thumped. As you can see Tommy was not one of those popular kids that had heaps of friends and good grades in his school work, in-fact he was the complete opposite. At that moment Tommy’s mum trudged in to his room and said “ if your not out of your bed in 1 minutes then you will be on dishes for 2 months. Tommy dragged him self out of bed knowing he couldn't delay it any longer and went straight to the bathroom. He felt like staying there for 6 hours till school ended, but he new he couldn’t, When he had had a shower, combed his hair, brushed his teeth and got ready for school, He walked to the kitchen where him mum was making his lunch and looked at her miserably, as usual she ignored his face, put his lunch in his bag went to the car and expected him to follow, and he did. they were both silent as his mum drove him to school. when she slowed near the school she said, “bye sweetie, I love you, have a good day”. Tommy thought it was impossible to have a good day at school but said “okay, I love you to”. He hoped out and she drove off and he wishing she hadn’t. He walked slowly, foot by foot, in through the school gate, and then then it started. “ewww look over there” a girl said “ ha ha what a geek” said another one.
