Room 10 Story - Week 6 Term 2

We are going to write a story as a class. The story must make sense from beginning to end (characters must be consistent etc). You must carry on from where the previous author left off. You may write a maximum of 5 sentences in each post. You can come back later and add some more to the story - but there must have been at least two class members between your last post and your new post.

Here it goes!

I could feel the blood rushing to my head, pounding in my ear drums and making me feel faint. "Shake him, he might have money in his pockets!" I could hear one shout, "Ohhhhh lets put him up the flag pole!" another excited voice shouted. I felt helpless, at the mercy of the school bullies. This is not a good start to the day I thought as the grip tightened around my ankles, I hope Mum has packed me a nice lunch as least..... "PUT THAT BOY DOWN!" Boomed a voice across the playground. I felt the grip release on my feet and tumbled to the groud about as gracefully as an elephant in the ballet.
