An adventure with William and Zach. by Preston

In the morning, William was woken up by Mr Tom saying, “C’mon get up you don’t want to be late for school today.” Suddenly he remembered that Zach was coming over to play, help build our Anderson shelter and go on an adventure. Willie’s room was a mess he had to clean it up but then he would be late for school, so he got ready and left to go school.

As he was going to school Willie saw his teacher Mrs Hartridge. “Morning William going to have a good day.”

“Yes Mrs, course I will why, wouldn’t I? I’m a good boy.”

“Distractions.”

Willie knew she was right, so he knew he had to try and concentrate to not get distracted in class.

“Right class settle down; today’s first lesson is English and we will be writing a letter to a friend.”  

“Oh no”.

“Sorry William something to say.” Willie was scared he didn’t know what to say he couldn’t write what would he do? Willie new to tell the truth. “I can’t write.”

“What?” one child said. All the children were laughing apart from Zach.

William knew that Zach must be a perfect best friend.

“Alright class settle down class! Does anyone want to work with William?”

“I will Mrs.” said Zach softly.

“Ok, Willie is it ok to work with Zach?”

“It’s fine Mrs!” When Zach sat down Zach smiled at him and whispered

“It’s ok if you can’t write because the more you learn and practice the better you get as people say practice makes perfect.”

“You know Zach…. you’re a good friend.”

At play time Willie was sitting on a bench until a bunch of kids came over and said, “What yer reading?”

“Me?”

“Yes you, what are you reading?”

“Oh, I’m reading the bible do you want to read it with me”

(one of the kids was blowing raspberries) “No why would we do that we hate Christians?”

“Oh, you do well this is a religious school so why are you here?”

“Because there’s no other schools and my parents don’t know much, now get off our playground.”

“Why?”

“Because we said so.” Suddenly the boys started to hit, kick and punch Willie but unfortunately Zach saw it and went over there to stop it by hitting the children who were hitting Willie until the teacher came over and pulled the children off Willie, “Oh my god, Willie are you ok?.... oh god you boys are in big trouble.”
