A new school

I had come home one day with homework that was way to hard for me to do, so i had to ask my dad for help. He wasn't happy at all with the fact that i couldn't work it out by myself so he looked through it and he too thought it was to hard for my age so he picked up the phone and called a mate of his. It had turned out the homework that i was given was for kids 3 years older then i was. So the next day my sister and i were sent to the school where his mate was the principle at.

Now this school was a small country school it had 2 classrooms one for seniors and the other for the juniors, a library, staff room a toilet block, 1 basketball court, 1 netball court, a small swimming pool, playground and a big paddock for the school to play sports in. I found it very hard at this new school because i was into my art i liked drawing and painting and was big into my sports but once we went to this school, it was too small for any sports team, the arts suppliers were limited so i couldn't do that either. If anything the move from a big school to this little school was worst off for me. As a matter of fact i hated this school it was a 15 minutes drive to and from home so SHE had to pick us up drop us off and if we were having a bad day we couldn't just take off because the school was in the middle of nowhere

The classroom i was in had a mixture of ages ranging from year 8 to year 5 our teacher was also the principle of the school and my dads friend. My first day at this school someones drink went missing and straight away they started blaming us, because we were new and nothing like this had happened before we had arrived. But I was ready to take him on because i knew it wasn't me or my sister but the principle stepped in, It had turned out that one of the little children in the other class had taken i never trusted any of them from then on. Then there was this one girl that had been a nasty little bitch because we were older then she was and before we went there she was the oldest girl and it made her feel special but that never bothered us because my sister and i had each other. The boys were always talking to us wanting to know all about us, they always made us feel welcomed, we hadn't been there long when i had got a boyfriend he was a year older then i was so the next year he was off to high school. I had one more year there before i too was off to high school.

My year there was long and learning the ways of how a country school ran was hard to adjust too the pets days and not having a pet or lamb and calf day no farm animals to show off then to their cross country which was through paddocks that was nothing but mud and sheep droppings, that never bother those farm kids they were use to this stuff, Then i had meet another new girl who came 2 weeks after we did, we became good friends, i would stay at her place on the weekends to get away from HER

This one weekend i stayed at her place we had gone for a long walk out the back of the country we went through some trees, a few paddocks crossed a small river then back up a hill to the road near her place. We had also taken a few beers that were her dads then stashed then on a bank side. So that after our walk we would sit down and have them but because we had gone through a river we went back home to take our wet pants and shoes off then walked back to where we had put the beers. We had just sat down in the long grass opened up the first bottle when a green Ute had driven passed us, he hadn't seen us but we watched him as he had driven into a paddock, just over the bank then reversed his Ute to a Pitt and throw something big into it. As soon as he had done that he looked up an seen us we got so scared threw the bottle into the grass, then took off across the road through the trees then we dropped down watched and waited. This ute came roaring out of the paddock then drive up and down the road slowly. Lucky for us we had gone for a walk earlier that day because we back tracked through the river over the hill all the way to a the nearest house while in the distants we could still see this ute driving up and down the road we had waited awhile in a paddock till they finally gave up and left. We ran as fast are we could back to her house our feet were all cut up and had prickles in them we were so scared we never told anyone we did have a laugh about it later that night.
