"No!" says zelda pushing ahead I want my dinner. I know how she feels. Better to get from the rail way line further away from the railway line.

    The brilliant world of Tom Gates

    Rule 1 School photos are always hideous. Its the law,I think. Even if a world-famous photographer was to take the photo it would still be rubbish.

    I turn over to a nice plain page and get ready to do some doodling. Which will keep me occupied during Mr Keen's L O N G boring lesson.
    It will also look like I'm taking notes and concentrating, so hopefully I won't get into trouble.
    Here goes. Yawn....

    Josh tied Petey to the fence,then came running over to join the rest of us. The boy named Jerry Franklin made up the teams. Ray and I were on the same team. Josh was on the other. As our team took the field,I felt excited and a little nervous. I'm not the best softball player in the world. I can hit the ball pretty well. But in the field, I'm a complete klutz. Luckily, Jerry sent me out to right field, where not many balls are hit.
