Never Ending For Me
“Ah’’ I wake up another dream of Logan its so hard to think after him dying of cancer and there is too much on my plate already. I sob as I get out of bed and mum stares, “Hazel did you have another dream of Logan?”
I glance back, ‘ut he is my best friend”. My Brother David Stares at me like I’m some depressed idiot “WHAT” I say in anger
“Well Hazel you look ah…UGLY’’ said David. Dad walks through the kitchen door “Okay how do I look”
“ Great outfit for the promotion” Mum said
“ Great dad you always look good in that suit” I say
“Dad why are you wearing a suit ? “
Mum interrupts “He is wearing a suit because he might get a big promotion” the alarm rings “okay get dressed for school or you’ll be late” said Mum.

I go into my room & look over at my chair with my school uniform… it isn’t there, I look on my bed nope not there. I shout “ MUM I CAN’T FIND MY SCHOOL UNIFORM”
Mum says “have you checked your chair”
“YES OF COURSE” I shout again.
Mum ran to my room “is it in your closet ?”
I open the closet “oh so that’s where it is, sorry I shouted Mum” I murmur
“that’s ok Hazel, NOW get dressed”.

I get to school and my best friend Avia is by the old oak tree crying her eyes out, I run to Avia “did you have a dream about Logan too?” I gasped
“Yes” Avia sobs. The bell rings Avia & I run to the classroom. Mr. Riley my teacher shouts “ Miss Hazel Collins & Miss Avia Winslow you are going to seasons”. I couldn’t believe it out of all the things I hate its seasons they talk about “feelings’’.


Finally I see the stop sign at the front of my house I open the door of my house I run to my room and look at my bed there is a small note that says “Dear Hazel don’t forget to get dressed for netball ok. Thanks Mum”. I get dressed right on the spot, I run to the kitchen to check what team were playing OH Kangaroos the easiest team on the planet other then Saturn, we bet Saturn 0-35 how easy is that.

The Final Siren rings “we WON!” everyone is scream with joy!


The next morning I wake I glance over at my lyrca, I don’t want to play netball again. I think to myself “ Logan won’t want me to play but Avia would want me to play” but I get up instead its Never Ending For Me.
