Jacks Qualities

• Sam Blenkins-Plumb, Grade 6
• Short Story
• 2019

I open my eyes, it is another Monday. “Jack, breakfast!” calls mum. I glance up, my familiar tidy room is the first thing I see. I hop up excitedly ready for the first day of year three. I suddenly feel my legs dashing towards the mirror and when I stare in I see a short red-haired 7 year old staring at me with his dark brown eyes. ‘I can’t wait for school’ I thought.
At school a bully named Troy saw me and started teasing me and my old breaking bag. I ignore people like that just like what we are told Golden Field State School.
Our first class we had Math I am great at multiplication and I help kids who need it during class suddenly somebody got really sick to they needed to take their bags to the office, I was the only one who volunteered.
Over time I have grown now I am at the end of grade five I have been nice, helpful and grateful. I can see Troy getting bullied so I run over to him. “Stop bulling him!” I yell. The bullies look at me, “He bullied you didn’t he?” they ask. I glare at them lie an eagle eyeing its prey. They walked away Troy was grateful and I ended up getting student leader for being kind, honest, forgiving, grateful and happy for others.
