Walking up the metre long stairs, It felt as if they would never stop. Thinking about what was coming, seconds later I am on top of the high, steep, uncomfortable platform, It felt like minutes.
Finally, though not relieved it’s my turn… I look at the steep drop and a handle bar, as the instructor speaks safety instructions I listen as if it’s instructions on how to not die. I grab the handle bars, it is a very sweaty bar which is making it more slippery for my hands, I slowly lift my body till I am holding on just by a metal bar. Thoughts running through my head about how long I can hold on for, am I about to slip, is this position ok….suddenly, I just let go, the adrenaline rush feels good and I feel as if nothing can stop me as I hurtle through the air.

Sweat trickles down my forehead to my jaws edge, my legs ache from squatting in the sun for the past 15 minutes. "Batter up!" A boy comes and stands to my left in front of me. I fix my helmet and tighten my glove. He bends his knees and lifts the bat. The pitcher steps forward, swings the ball a few times then finally throws it. The ball cuts through the air, the batter swings for it, but instead of hitting it forward the ball falls back to me. I stretch up upwards, and the ball lands softly in my glove.

He's out.

All the year fives sat outside nervously, waiting for a teacher to collect the 6 lucky people who would be our school leaders next year. It felt like forever, just sitting there doing nothing. sitting, waiting, talking, sitting, waiting, talking. Finally miss Skaysbrook called out the names."Could I have Nadia, Christian, Joleen, Ganes, Gabi, and Thanasin." I got up excitedly. Could I be the be the 2016 girl school Captain? We all waited outside the hall. We all sat there in agony. Nobody spoke. We just sat there waiting, waiting, waiti-

"In we go." We walked onto the stage I looked around I saw mum, Emily, Becky, All the teachers with a broad smile. I was ready to find the result. mrs peel-yates began. "Our 2016 school captains are Christian and Nadia." I felt like crying, but I didn't because I knew at least I would get a role. Maybe I'll be vice captain? "Our 2016 vice captains are Ganes and-" I hope it's me, I hope it's me."Joleen." Oh, I'm just prefect. "And finally, our 2016 prefects. Thanasin and Gabi." Just prefect. why didn't I get school captain? Why why?

We all recieved our badges, still stunned I dropped my badge multiple times. I guess I couldn't expect so high. It was only my first year here, so prefect should be fine.

"They didn't give me a medal 'cause they thought I cheated!" The whole school was chatting, waiting for Queen Rania to arrive. Cameras were being set up, news reporters practicing their lines. Then the click of heels on floorboards, suddenly the whole room was hushed, a beautiful lady stepped through the door. Everyone turned their heads, the kinds had their mouths wide open, gasping. "Where's her crown?" Some year 2's hissed. Rania gradually stopped, and turned to her seat. The captains addressed Queen Rania with a slight hesatation.

I watched the ball glide through the air, everyone shifted their eyes towards me. Extending my leg, gathering all my thoughts I slow down the ball's landing. I turned around and saw a clear path to the ball, I dodged a tackle leaping over him, took a shot, watched the ball slice through the air, eyed the goalie as he stretched for the ball, everyone had their eyes on the ball, until the goalie got his hands on it. We stood there while the winning team celebrated.

Netball
I stood in my position, center. My eyes met the opponent's eyes, I jumped into the circle, then the whistle blew. I threw the ball with a flick watching it curve like a rainbow over the opponent’s head to our Wing Attack.  You could only hear the shouting and chanting of teammates and the sound of running feet. As I ran towards my teammate I was blocked by my opponent, I turned back slyly ran passed my opponent and jumped to catch the ball as it gently curved towards me. I caught the ball and passed it to our Goal Shooter.

It was time.

Watching the defenders defend and attackers attack, the Goal Attack passed to the Goal Shooter slowly she takes a deep breath aiming towards the hoop and threw it we all held our breaths watching it hurl in the air towards the hoop, it bounced on the back rim then gently fell into the hoop we all went wild the opponents sighed and the last whistle blew once again we had won” Good game.” the continuous words were said.

I stared at them with my mouth shut and smiled. They stared at me back.
Month 1. I played soccer. I kicked it to the right then left the kids yelled "Pass! Pass! Pass!"
" Why didn't you pass the ball to me?!"
Month 12. Everyone sat quietly, the principal announced that there were a new special teacher.
Month 1. The new teacher was nice and fun.
Month 3. " Unforgivable! You wasted many minutes of our time!" Says the teacher. As he hung his head and sighed.
Month 11. I looked out into the bushes, alongside with my friends, coast clear. Our legs moved forward quietly, steady, steady. Suddenly a flash light pointed toward me. I stood still and moved my body to my left, away from the light. I saw dust slowly moved out of the torch. The brightness grew. Foot steps tapped on the ground, left, right, left, right. He pushed the bush out of his way, Mr. Mc.
Last day. I stood in front on the stage. I stared at them with my mouth shut and smiled. They stared at me back.

“Everyone get ready.”
This is the sentence that was playing through my head continuously over and over again until… the bat met the ball and there it goes,soaring through the sky like a bird and all I can think about is they’re going to get a home run, but that's not gonna stop me,as I run I feel like the flash trying to save a someone from a building descended to burn down, but in reality I am trying to get someone out of the game ;-;.As I get closer to the ball, I run faster and faster and i finally get to the ball I pick it up with my right hand and I launched the ball into the air as hard as I can.


“HEADS UP!” I shout.


And before you know it the ball is in the catcher's hand.

First day I was on my to Argyle Street to get on the coach,by the time I got there I was the second last person to get there,I got out of the car and started running to the coach thinking that I was late but when I got I was relieved that I got there just in time,I packed my bag where all the other bags where then joining my friends on how it will be when we get there,when we were told to get on the coach I went to a seat near the back next to me was Angelina.

When we got to the Parliament House we were blocked by the Prime Minister of Singapore(no wonder why there was so many cops there),when we finally got in we were taken into the House of Representatives(there was so much people in there) then we went to the Senate Chamber and we were taught how the bill is passed when we were in the two chambers after our busy day we were glad to go to the motel (Gold Creek Motel) with our cabin buddies (my buddies were Hannah,Sarina,Karla and Alisa).

Putting my right foot in front, then left, each step brought me closer to the finish line. I was only meters away from the crimson ribbon, but my legs started to cramp up, I could barely run. The other competitors passed me, brushing against my shoulder. The crowd chanted for me to keep going.
“Keep going, you’re nearly there!” Mr Mc commanded. I held my breath and started jogging, then sprinting.
“Have I made it yet?” I asked. I opened my eyes. The runners crowded around me, As I huffed and puffed.
“Are you okay?” Mr Mc asked. As I said yes I totally forgot about my leg.

As the words slowly came out. Ms.Peel-Yates is about to announce the top six of the leadership team 2017 ”and the 2017 school captains are” She said with an excited look on her face to let it out.The year 5s held their breath.The hall was dead silent,my heartbeat became faster and faster...Ms.Peel-Yates had a smile on her face as she began to open her mouth to speak.Everyone was longing to know,so was I…
That moment,we know “Angelina Wang Zheng and Nicole Yeoh” Our peers squeal and are filled with joy. I stood up stumbly and awkward but managed to fix my posture. Walking up there I felt nervous, as if this was a dream. Like I would become school captain! But my eyes grew larger as I walked up the stairs. I step...My legs shook. She called out the rest of the team… School vice captain...Sophia Cherry and Kamran Qureashi… Prefects are… Cooper Carter and Larrisa Fong. Inside I shredded tears of happiness. I was proud of my friends, some I knew for years...Nicole and I finished the assembly. Soon it was all over, I was still shaking...

For about 3 hours, I’d played, slept, talking, and laughing. Imagining what will we do, how fun will it be? When we got to Parliament Hhouse; we walked, we saw like...forever! After for awhile we got the old Parliament house. There are bizzilian stairs, my feet barely can’t hold my body much longer. When we got the Australian mint, we look some of the pennies, coins, and even dollars. We walked, we took a photo. The last day we ride, talked, and we are really excited. We played and buy souvenirs, we ate lunch, then we're going home. :)

Shooting hoops, kicking balls, riding bikes and many more.When I first got there I ran to the basketball area, got the ball bounced it once shot it and missed, I kept trying some of them I got in and some didn't but as the time went on I went to soccer where obviously saw Thanasin and Ganes kicking the ball and seeing who could kick the ball faster and that was my favourite moment and by the way I came in and beat them both

Hands shaking, hearts beating quickly, one by one of the nominees were trying to do their best. I could barely hear them. Finally, the moment that we’re waiting for the Presentation day. Mrs. Peel-Yates has a smile on her face, the year 5s heart was even beating quicker. As she announced “ The 2017 school captain are presented to Angelina Wang Zheng….” I thought i wouldn’t be one of the leaders. But then she continued “And Nicole Yeoh !” It felt like weights were lifted off my shoulder.
