__**//What About Me//**__

//In Tauranga Intermediate School there was a year 8 girl called Casey she was 12 and had long blonde hair and blue eyes, she thought she was the best and she was the most popular in the class and in her house, most people wanted to be just like she was.//

//One cold, frosty, Wednesday morning Casey awoke from the noise of her alarm clock at 6:30am. She could hear the fantails chirping a song outside her window while she got changed into her school uniform and brushed her hair and teeth, skipped down the stairs got her lunch, tied her shoes, said bye to her mum and out the door to walk to school,Casey didn’t live far from school she lived just down the hill so she didn’t have a reasonable explanation for being late which she liked to do so everyone would have all their attention on her.//

//Once Casey walked into her classroom her teacher Miss Little asked why she was late. All the other kids had full attention on her as she walked down the middle of the classroom. She looked left and right and something caught her eye, there sitting in her desk was a girl she had never seen in her life so then Miss Little suggested that Casey could sit on the floor, Casey questioned herself why is she so grouchy nowadays? Miss Little introduced Casey to this girl. While she was introducing her Casey found out that this girl that was sitting at her desk. Her name was Charlotte she had come all the way from America, she has short brown hair, has freckles, and hazel colored eyes .Suddenly miss Little told me that I was to look after charlotte for the day so it would be easier for charlotte to settle in to this new environment. Casey couldn’t believe what she was hearing at the same time her heart felt like it was beating one million times each second.//

//Finally morning break came Casey crabbed her lunch and waited for Charlotte to get her’s, when Charlotte caught up with Casey a few minutes later Casey said ‘’Ok you have to stay out of my way I'm the popular one here so your not oh and don’t try and don’t bother coming to play with me ever again’‘. Then Casey ran off to find her other friends.But right then she remembered that she had to look after Charlotte for the day, Casey was bummed.//

//Casey walked back to the classroom where she expected Charlotte to be but instead she saw Charlotte telling Miss Little about what had happened so that Casey could get in trouble with their teacher but Casey had different plans, Casey panicked for a moment but she suddenly remembered that she lived very near to school so Casey started to run home but sadly a teacher caught her trying to escape a couple minutes later Casey had to go to the principles office to have a long talk with her mum and the principle, while Casey was waiting for her mum the principle tried to ask Casey some questions but she would refuse to speak till her mum arrived. The principles office looked ordinary like any other principles office would, except the actual principle himself he was very grouchy to everyone even the teachers.//

//The meeting took a long time, it took the rest of the day.So Casey and her mum walked back home.Casey’s mum was not happy at all so as soon as she and her mum arrived home her mum said that she is grounded for a week, Casey felt so sorry for herself.//

//Today was Thursday morning again awaken by her alarm clock at 6:30am Casey felt fresh and happy that morning she got ready pretty fast even for a girl that needs her hair so perfect for school.Half an hour later Casey was ready to leave// //for school as on the other hand Charlotte was sleeping and taking her time but her alarm was set for 7:15am. Finally Charlotte got up and ready for school, but by the time she was ready the time was 8:00am. Charlotte had no choice but to walk to school and be late but then she remembered that yesterday Casey had said that she couldn’t be popular only Casey could. Charlotte already hated Casey and her bossy attitude, so Charlotte decided that she was going to be popular to and know one could stop her.//

//Casey strutted into the classroom still in a happy mood, but once she saw that her desk was empty and she couldn’t see Charlotte anywhere so Casey’s mood lifted even more, but right then charlotte flicked her hair while entering the classroom, Casey’s mood dropped.//

//Casey was shocked to see that Charlotte had her hair all perfect and her teeth sparkling, but Charlotte stared straight at Casey horridly, suddenly Casey felt uncomfortable or as if she had a little bit of competition, at least Casey had sat at her desk before Charlotte had entered the classroom otherwise Casey would have to work on the floor with the kids who have got in trouble with Miss Little for the whole maths block.//

//At morning break Casey started to show off in front of all the other kids to make them jealous before Charlotte would ruin her spotlight with her rubbish fashion// //Casey thought. Then right before Casey’s eye’s Charlotte appeared round the corner to show off her styled hair so everyone would like her and not Casey, that would be a dream come true Charlotte thought.Casey felt so embarrassed being in front of everyone where all of the kids could see her, tease her and laugh at her.//

I will achieve this by:
=== Using lots of descriptive words and language resources when I am describing the characters. To describe the scene I will use my senses and create a real picture for the reader. I will put fullstops where they are needed and get the teacher or a friend to read over it with me. ===
