There i was sitting in school looking at a blank page thinking my whole life was over then i had an idea to start my two thousand word essay about the sea. “DING” the bell rang. The teacher came round to collect the essays i was last i almost got out the door when “Miss Burns yes miss you need to take your essay home and finish it before school starts again or you fail” i nodded and walked out with fluro pink binder book with blank pages. “HEY KELSIE” Tina yelled “you are coming to cheerleading practise there picking captain” I suddenly stopped and dropped my book and fainted onto a really hot guy who was half Spanish and he had very big muscles mark was his name. “ Are you okay he said yeah just f-fine” he picked up my books handed it to me and walked off towards he’s mates. “Omg that was so embarrassing but i wish that was me” Tina flicked her red locks flicked me in the eye. Down at cheerleading tryouts Brittany the previous cheerleading captain kept on looking at Monica who was always bragging on about how she would love to become a cheerleading captain. Brittany blew the whistle and called us all over ok I have picked a new cheerleading Captain the new bull sharks captain is Kelsie. “YAY OMG” i screamed Monica had a very bitchy look on her face. After School I was walking home in my new cheerleading uniform when dave the hot guy offered me a lift home. “so I heard you got captain! Um yeah you must be good” I smiled. “Thanks for the lift see ya” he waved. I got to the front door when I could here my two dogs barking around the side gate. I rummaged through my bag to find the front door key when i finally found it i unlocked the door and went inside. I walked up my stairs which was two stories plus an attic. I opened the back door to let in my two dogs a border collie missy and a chocolate collie toby. “Hey my favourite girls” the dogs where always happy to see me. I was walking up the stairs when i tripped up the stairs. “OWW” i yelled my brother came out and looked at me laughed and walked away. Later on I was sitting in my room wtching a few documentaries on the ocean for my essay. I had about half a page and still heaps more to go it probably was not a wise idea to eat potato chips that were extra salty. I decided to free my mind by taking the dogs for a walk. When i got down to the beach i kicked off my thongs let the dogs off the leads and walked towards the pier.Toby and Missy where playing with eachother in the water. After a short walk to the pier the dogs where back on their leads we walked right to the end of the pier and sat and dangled my feet over the edge looking at the open water with the beautiful sunset over the water. The stingrays where circling around the pier picking up food. Suddenly a black fin popped out the top of the water i blinked my eyes and looked at missy. “Probably just dolphin” i looked back it happened again. “No thats to big for a dolphin” I looked again. Then it jumped out of the water it was an killer whale. I ran home to tell mum and dad but they did not believe me so i dragged them all the way down the beach. “I think that assignment has gotten to your head..NO I SAW IT” they walked off so i did to. That night i grabbed a pair of binoculars a can of coke and the rest of my chips. I sat at the desk keeping a close eye out on the water but it was so hard to see in the dark.I drew up a table of when i would see the times of the whale and its actions i ended up sleeping their the whole night.That mornig i woke up with the sun shining bright in my eyes chips in my hair. I walked into my ensuite bathroom looked at my greasy disgusting hair. I realised their was a note on the corner of the mirror it read “cheerleading practise eight o’clock”. “CRAP” i jumped into the shower and dried my hair. Just when i went to grab my practise gear when i realised i washed it last night so i had to go out to the clothesline in my dressing gown.The Neighbour joe was mowing the lawns also looking at me “um hi just getting my uniform” he had a look on his face as if to say nice dressing gown. After tripping up the stairs again i got in my car and drove like mad finally arriving half an hour late. “So sorry guys and girls” i threw my stuff at the wall of the gym. “Not such a good start Kelsie seew i knew i should have been captain” said Monica.After a long dayvof practise i decided to go for a swim i was lieing on my ba ck out to the sea when i llokked back at thee shore i realised i had gone way to far out i could not see or touch the bottom anymore my head started to go under i put my hand up. “help jelp. THERES A GIRL DROWNING SOMENODY HELP HER”. then all that was showing was my hand. Then i herd something like a sqeak noise from right under my feet. Then i found myself on top of a whale he took my up to breath. The people from the shore were amazed to see a young girl on a whale i opened my eyes i sat up and patted the whale it took me as close in as it could get to the shore. Thank you i nodded in my mind. When some people came to help me they trew sand at the whale it swam off they carried me and layed me on a towel. “you where almost killed no i was saved by a gentle giant” the man disagreed. He took me across the road to my house “Thank yyyou kindly sir for brining my daughter home” said my mum. I Went up to my room and looked out my window towards the sea and i wondered if i would ever see the killer whale again.the next day i went down to have breakfast. The t.v was on everyone was watching it. “ what exactly happened said the tv presenter to the lady? Well i saw this girl she was swimming and then this whale no a killer whale pulls her under and tries to eat her! THATS A LIE IT SAVED ME” i yelled throwing my apple at the ground. “Kelsie must you yell there lieing the killer whale took me to the surface”. “Maybe she’ll call it willy” said cody “someone go get the paper please no ill do it” i opened the door when a heard of people and microphones where in my face. “where you scared? How did you break free from the whale?” they all asked these questions. “ the whale did not try to kill me it saved me from drowning and i will prove it to you” i pushed some of them over to get to the paper and slammed the door behind me. Mum and dad where staring at me “and just how do you think you’ll prove it?” dad tapped his foot. “Easy ill swim with the whale again and you can’t stop me i have to do this before they kill the whale” i was right no one could get in my way. I went up to my room rang up tina “Hey do you think you could video practise today? Great bye”. I put my phone back in its box. I started preparing for the return of the whale. At lunch time it was about thirty six degrees. The dogs where so hot i gave them a cold refreshing bucket of water poured all over them and they both came and sat in my room near my air conditioner. I was to hot to do anything so i got a cold face washer placed it on my head and had a sleep. Three hours later at three o’clock i woke up with a sweaty pillow. This time when I checked the tempreture it was forty degrees the dogs where still asleep. I went to the freezer picked a lemon icy pole. I turned around to find missy looking at me. “Hey too hot to have a nap come here” i sat on the cold tiles with her the blinds and curtains where all closed so it was dark and cool. I had a little bit left of my icy pole so i gave it to missy. Toby came along “Sorry Tobz all gone” I gave him a liver treat instead. I still could not go across the road to the beach because it was so hot. With nothing to do i watched free willy with a berry smoothie and nachos.I did not even last halfway through the movie because the heat had drained my energy. Half an hour later i woke up with berry smoothie on my belly. Toby licked it off i laughed because it tickled it was still pretty hot but i got into my bathers and took my beach gear to the door their was a note saying that the rest of the family was down the beach with the beach tent. So i brought missy and Toby down with me. The beach was packed with beach umbrellas and tents. When i finally found my family toby and missy sat down next to my dad. I sat in the tent for about half an hour until i realised a fin poking out of the water but to small for a whale it was a dolphin it was to hot to be waiting for the whale so i went in the water. It was cool and refreshing. Suddenly people stopped walking and swimming and they pointed at me and screamed. I turned around to sea the whale. I slowly walked near it I realised he was scared of something it was mark. “Get out of the water mark” “ i yelled don’t be so stupid. No I have to do this get out of the water.mark grabbed my arm and carried me out of the water. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING? Um saving your life if i may.Did you not get the memo and since when did you start caring about me was when i got my name in the paper when i was on tv” i pushed him “barbie Cleopatra is waiting for you over there bye now” i went in the water. Walking closre and more slowly to the whale. I touched its leathery skin I swung my leg over and hopped on him. “now you show them what were made of” he swam around and around took me up to the shore where mark was standing. “so you tell me is this whale a killer or are you going to believe me. He was speechless “hmm i see”. I turned around to see the whales pod. “Is that your family because you should go” a tear ran down my face i hugged the whale “i love you so much Keko” i kissed him on the nose “promise you’ll come visit” it looked like keko was nodding as swam backwards. An hour later i saw mark i ran up to him “im really sorry about before i was just under pressure.i understand i was been a jerk you where right i do only go for the hot girls but you are different you care for everything around you you don’t care about how you look thats why i like you” i looked up at him and hugged him. The next afternoon i went down to the pier with mark hand in hand. “wow did you see that?see what?look closer her let me help you” i pushed him in with me getting pulled in aswell. We were laughing in the water when a familer sqeuk noise came from in the water.kekos nose popped up from the water in the middle of me and mark. “KEKO” we both laughed. The end Sarah Bentley 8.60
