Jack loves to predict. He learnt about predicting last year in
Prep. He was always predicting, these days! He mostly does his predictions in bed, at night, when everyone especially his mum thinks he is fast asleep.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Not!!! He would sit up in the top bunk and open his secret book and writes down what he predicts. Today, he wrote: I predict that the weather will be sunny tomorrow and raining tonight. He raised the blinds of the window near him and stared up at the starry sky and wondered of all the things happening in this universe right now.
Jack predicted again! He wrote that there will be a new Nebula. Nebula means a new star is born! He learnt that in school, last term. Thinking of the swirly, whirly, glittery Nebula, Jack snoozed off.
Jack, Jack, wake up! yelled his mum. He jumped out of bed, running to the loo and predicting that he will be snoozing during Maths class today, yawwwwnnnn.
