Spotlight
“Are we going the right way” I ask, “saying isn’t this the wasp way?”
"No, it’s not,” says Rusty for the 15,000th time “it’s the same way as we came
up”.
We saw the spotlight people shining their lights trying to find the
kids. Gregor starts pretending to be a gorilla. Everybody including me are
making more noises.
“Ahh”!! I said in a frightened way. "Don’t do that," I
said to Rusty. I was at the back of the line and so was rusty. He frightened
me. We finally got to the bottom.
“Wait at the stairs please” saying Miss Keenan in her Irish accent. We looked at each other.
“Ehh” we said. We kept running. Let's start.
We went the wrong way instead of going over the
gate. Isla, Shikain, Isaac, Evette and I climbed up a little hill and over
an electric fence (but don’t worry it wasn’t on). We carried on.
Bridget
(Jacob fletcher’s mum) said to another adult “I don’t think they were
allowed to go that way” I heard them but I didn’t say anything. I started
to play the game. I was crawling along the ground like a lion spying on an
elephant and about to pounce on it.
“Down!!” I say to myself as Mrs McA shined the light on me. I finally caught up with someone… hunter and
patch. They were going to stay there but they decided not to.
“Eww,” Hunter said. “I just put my arm on sheep poo”.
“Down” we say to each other,
“oh poo” Evette said. “I’ve been spotted”.
I hear Mrs McA say to Evette “is that EVETTE”. Ouches! I put my hand on a bunch of prickles.
“We’re nearly at the top” patch said. I repeated. We got up to the steep, steep bit of
the hill. Is this the top have we made it or do we walk to Mrs McA? She
shouted out just come to me now since you’ve made it to the top. Just come
to me now and wait here quietly. We meet Kieran, Billie k and someone
else. I can’t remember who it was but we made it to the top without being
spotted. We sit down. It was about quarter to ten by then. Some other kids
came up after we finished. I ran down the hill like a cheetah chasing its
predator. This time I went out the right way. That was fun I was saying to
myself. We get back.
There was a movie on for the people who didn’t play
spotlight. The movie was ratatouille there was drink and bikkies for
supper as usual. We watched it for a few minutes.
“Bed time” says Mrs McA, we paused the movie and then she stopped it after we left. We all went to
bed. Oh mummy’s not here to give me my goodnight hug so I say goodnight to
mum and dad in my head and then I say goodnight to my roommates and say to
them “that was a fun night!”
