Title: Excitement overload

It was February the 14th, Valentine's day and everyone in my class was making cards.  The girls were graciously  dancing around the room knowing that it was Valentine's day the most romantic day of the year. Out of the blue everyone started talking about  their plans for Valentine's day, suddenly the girls at the table looked straight at me, with a sour look on their faces, the girl to right of me asked
“so who’s your valentines this year Sarah”
My reply was simply “my best friend”
The girls started laughing at me, really the boy you've been friends with since kindergarten “yeah we do it every year” I replied.

“Ever since we met  we've done It you just don’t get it”
The girls looked away in disappointment, we have the same argument every year and it’s alway over “Jacob”  maybe they like him or maybe they think I like him  but the only liking there getting from me is the likement of friendship. Just then I see him with all his other friends I hear him tell them to wait and then when the girls see him, they start trying to get their hair ready like girls cursing over the cutest guy in school “OMG” I said. Just then I glance over and he’s almost here I quickly hide my card and his present, “hi I made you this” he said
“Thanks” just then I see him look down and see a box with his card on it “ is this for me” “yeah I was just waiting to give it to you”
he opened the box and saw the present I got him “you shouldn't have” “ know but I thought I was better than just a plain old card every year” “ but know I look stupid because your present was just the card I’ll get you something else” “no it’s fine” “are you sure” “ yes know go there waiting”  

Later that day, Jacob rang me asking if I was still going to Valentines for dinner with my family I said “yes” and he asked to come I asked my mum  she said “yes”
I text him and said to meet at my house  by 4pm. On the way to Valentines my phone was going plastic from all the texts from Jacob, he was so nervous because my dad was coming  and they had never meet him. Because of my  he and my mum split when I was born.
When we got there Jacob sat down and then what I was hoping would never happen happened my dad started talking to Jacob and all the question came out like “were he was from” and “how old he was”. Things were getting weird so I called my dad to get some food with me. Well we were gone my dad started asking question about me and how me and Jacob meet, my reply was as simple as pie “when we were younger and we’ve been friend ever since” My dad was surprised to see that I was quick and  confident to defend my best friend, my dad's face  still thinking of something to respond back with “oh so your just friends that's it right” quick responce to say “yes”. The awkward walk back to the table was silent.

The table was scattered with food that was left over, Jac and I were the ones to clean up and order the  drinks. The rest of the night was a flow, filled with small talk and chit chat.
My cousin was look out side with wonder, I asked if I could take her to the window at the front of the restaurant to look and the night sky. When we got to the window and looked out the night sky was filled of the of glowing light that reflected on the sky like a mirror.

Then on the way back to the table, I slipped on my dress and ripped one off the pieces off it, luckily my cousin never got hurt because she was in my arms, just then I look over and see everyone laughing at me at that moment I was embarrassed but now I look back at that moment and laugh. After that we all decided to go after the goodbyes in the carpark.


The drive home was long and loud, everyone was talk and singing alone to the music playing on the radio, Jac had finally come out of his shell of shyness and my worries were gone about my dad and him. The next day school was a bress and the time at valentines was awesome.

“so who’s your valentines this year Sarah”
My reply was simply “my best friend”
The girls started laughing at me, really the boy you’ve been friends with since kindergarten “yeah we do it every year” I replied.


“Ever since we met  we’ve done It you just don’t get it”
The girls looked away in disappointment, we have the same argument every year and it’s alway over “him”  maybe they like him or maybe they think I like him  but the only liking there getting from me is the likement of friendship. Just then I see him with all his other friends I hear him tell them to wait and then when the girls see him, they start trying to get their hair ready like girls cursing over the cutest guy in school “OMG” I said.

“yeah of course”.

As soon as he walked away the girls sighed, Rachel said “ Sarah what's wrong with you?”
“Nothing why”  “ you’ve got to be kidding me there was your chance” “ a chance for what Rachel”   “to ask him out”   “Rachel I thought I made It clear I don’t like him like that”
“ Lier”  I look away way then Shaniah looks at Rachel “ Hey you know if she says she doesn't like him like that she doesn't maybe you should just leave her alone”
“ fine I should ask him out then” I was just sick of it “ i’m going outside for air”
Rachel must have left we I went outside because I over heard her talk to my best friend
She’s asking him out I can’t believe he said yes.


Later that afternoon I got a text saying he’s had to cancel the game night because he was going out to the movies with someone he never said who and that's not like him.
The next day at school neither he or Rachel were at school and he never misses school for anything. A few days passed things were getting strange we hadn't spoken to each other for days now it was getting weird I called him to see if he wanted to hang out but he said he was busy and hung up. The next day he was at school so was Rachel she was at the lunch table talking to all my friend  about her time with Jac I was so mad. As I walked over to her she had a worried look on her face like someone was going to hit her or something but i simply said “look I don’t mind if you and Jac are going out but you shouldn’t stop him from hang out from others and stop trying to change him” the girls just looked at me frantically overjoyed  that I had finally said something Rachel just looked at me with a surprised look on my face  “your right I was just doing it to get back at you for what happened in the test, truth is I don’t even like Jac i’m breaking it off with him”
“you know you don’t have to do that  he likes to trust me I should know”
as she replied he looked over at me with a smile but I quickly turn back to Rachel.


After me and Rachel sorted things out I went and talked to Jac and now we’re better friend than before. That afternoon we went to the movies and then went to my house for dinner, I was glad we were talking again and Rachel and I were friends again.

How to stop yourself from being sick

Link to my Google drawing
This winter it is easy for you to get sick. Just one sneeze can make multiple people sick.  We all know that the cold doesn't’ help, but by dressing warm and eating well, we can stay right. In New Zealand more than 300 people are hospitalized with chest infections, ear infections and pneumonia. These are all bad and like a domino it affects all people. This explanation will explain to you how to prevent yourself from getting sick.   
Food is a big part of keeping yourself well, getting 5+ a day is the ideal way of making sure you are getting the vitamin C you need to stay well. We all need to eat the right foods like, salad, meat and vegetables. If you are a person that goes to KFC and Mcdonalds and eats fatty foods and high carb foods there’s a big chance of getting sick.

Personal hygiene is a big part of keeping well. Keeping yourself nice and clean is 100% ideal if you want to prevent sickness. Showering, washing your hands and brushing your teeth  are always good to keep well and right.
Another way is getting the flu shot. All it is, is a small injection of the flu to get your immune system ready for the flu so when it comes it doesn't knock you down. The best place to go for it is the doctors or the local meddie lab where you can go in and get it, it cost nothing.


Everyone gets sore throats but don't tell their doctors or parents. This can corse the most dangerous sickness of all Rheumatic fever. If you get Rheumatic fever you could die or it could lead to heart disease. This is why you need to keep yourself from getting sick by eating right, keeping clean, getting the flu shot and staying right.
So next time you feel like you're getting sick tell your doctor or parents and get it sorted out, so follow the steps to staying well.
