A sudden nightmare, I opened my eyes and sat bolt upright in bed. “Phew it was just a nightmare. I’ve been dreaming about the science assessment the whole entire time.”
As I wandered down the stairs, I could hear mum shout at the twins, “Don’t squash rotten bananas in your brother’s hair!”
I laughed as I grabbed my gigantic bag and hat, and I hightailed it to the big, yellow bus. My tummy was rumbling because of my test, I was really nervous about my exam.
A few days later sitting in science, I still didn’t feel ready about the test. As sir handed out those bad, disgusting pages, I could feel myself getting even more nervous. Behind me was three class clowns, and they kept spitting spit balls at my glorious, precious hair.
