And Jordan Pinewood.
So far we have a Prologue and partial of a chapter. There are some other characters further on in the book. Such as Jacob, Cory, Rosalin, Charli and Chase.
We might publish chapters at a time as they are made. Here is the prologue...
ENJOY






Prologue

It was an average boring chilly day in Vermont, Marble Hills high school was getting ready for the first day of the year. Our three main characters were getting themselves ready as well.
Read on to view these characters
Angelo was a rebel, there is no other word to describe him, he

had dry blonde hair that falls over half his face hiding him from the school and the teachers who never really knew his identity. He had dull blue eyes that had long since lost the colour in them. He was wearing a loose black t shirt that was tucked into his jeans. He had a huge black puffer jacket with even bigger puffed sleeves, the rips across his jeans were ragged and dirty. His expression was almost inexpressibly sour. And he was always plastered to the side of his best friend. Jordan Pinewood. Jordan was a bit depressed and never cracked even a small smile. He kept his face as still as a rock. He wore a black t-shirt that was as plain as his boring facial expression. He had faded gray jeans. His eyes were a pale green, with a twinge of brown.

His hair was dark brown and short, quite a lot like Jake Ryan's hair from ‘Sixteen Candles.’ Our story begins from the point of view of Clarissa Blue, A nerdy Junior who takes pride in being the world's best dungeon master. She would spend long hours with her nose tucked in a book. Her favourite genre was fantasy novels. Clarissa had long black hair that had brown highlights at the tips, she was wearing a black and white striped shirt with a light pink sweater over top, her shorts were splattered with a variety of coloured paint spots. Her eyes were a crystal green shade with a bit of blue, and she had her hair always tidily tucked behind her ears.





This is where our story begins…

CHAPTER 1 COMING SOON!

Pineapple Lumps VS Snifter Lumps. Which is better and WHY?

Today in literacy Sharon gave us a new and old pascall lollie. The pinapple lumps and the new snifter lumps and told us to describe and make a small report about each of these. 
Here is mine..,

My Report
The pascall snifter lumps I give a rating of ⅖ stars. This is mostly because I have a personal distaste of mint. The strong and overpowering taste of the mint put me of as soon as I smelled it. The mint drowned out the chocolate which made me really sad because the chocolate would have been the redeeming quality for me. I think that someone who loves minty flavoured things would love these lollies. Even though I dislike minty flavour I was drawn to the strong taste. I tasted a lot like Goody Goody gum drop ice cream, its hard to explain the flavour but after tasting it you would instantly know the flavour I am talking about, the richness of the mint was breathtaking and these lollies could even be used as a mint.

Comparing this lollie to the previous product by pascall. I think that the pineapple lumps are better because I love the pineapple lumps and how they dissolve in your mouth, all in all I think that the snifter lumps are great but the pineapple lumps are a whole world better.

2 out of 5 stars.

Pineapple lumps              Snifter Lumps
It looks like an old brick chopped in half and dipped in brown paint.   The surface is quite bumpy by the looks of it and there is a little bit of pastel yellow stuff oozing out of the chocolate shells. There are small bits of chocolate chipped off. If you flip it over there is a smooth surface that looks like the chocolate has melted. There are ripples in the chocolate on top that looks like a wild ocean.
Smooth surface and I look like a stone slab but brown, it is in  a rectangle shape but the edges are smooth and not sharpened. When I snapped it in half the you could see the bright teal minty goodness in the middle. There is a very thin layer of chocolate and a lot of mint.
The feel of the chocolate treat is a lot like smooth sandpaper. At the start it is dry but if you rub it, it turns smoother and almost sticky. The ripples on the chocolate feel like running your hand along a metal fence. The sides were as smooth as a kitchen counter.
Rough and sticky smooth. It has the hard surface of chocolate while still being smooth. After tapping it I felt that it was very hard and solid. 
It kinda smells like pineapple ice cream. It also smells a little bit like milk chocolate kitkat. After snapping it open it smelled extremely strongly of artificial pineapple. You can also smell the chocolate at it smells amazing! The smell of the pineapple was strong but the smell itself wasn't overpowering. It was a soft pineapple smell and in a way, quite soothing
Goody goody gumdrop smells like cheap toothpaste. The chocolate is almost invisible to the mint smell. After breaking it I smelt it and I could not smell anything.
When you first try and bite it, you have to pull it with your teeth. After breaking it the first taste that comes to you is dark chocolate that is rich and gooey and wonderul. Then slowly you start to taste the yummy pineapple, once you have sucked it for about 5 seconds, it gets smooth and you really taste the pineapple, even then the taste is quite suttle. 
It kind of tastes slightly minty in a fruity bubblegum kind of way.
Peppermint eskimo taste, After a while it gets gooey and melts in the mouth. The aftertaste gives you a strong toothpaste flavour. The chocolate gets drowned out by the mint flavour and you cannot taste it. Which disappointed me because I love chocolate
It was as flaky as dry skin. After sucking on a bit of the minty part. You could not taste a thing.

The 100 word Challenge

This week in literacy we have been doing 100 words stories.  we got given a list of title ideas and we chose the ones that inspire us. 
here are my 100 word stories.

I didn't know they could fly...
Priscilla skipped along the cracked road mindlessly, the sun was sinking slowly into the night as the moon slipped past it up into the baby blue sky, she halted, she heard a rustle in the silence a long tail dragged past a tree trunk and slithered into a rose bush that was thick with thorns.
A possessed Lemur. In this world all the animals had been possessed.  They don't know how though. She whipped out her illuminate wand and shined it and the bush. Suddenly the lemur rose from the bush and flew off. 

“I didn't know they could fly?”

this story is exactly 100 words!
here is my second story

Sorry!
She walked along the halls with a swing in her hips. She brushed her silky chestnut hair out of her eyes. She looked so perfect. I need to talk to her. Maybe she would be my friend. I walked over to her squeezing through other students to get to her. She saw me and waved. I scrambled to get to her but she started walking again I ran to her and bumped into her. “OW!” she said as we collided.
I looked at her hazel eyes  and stared blankly at them for a few seconds maybe minutes and said “Sorry.”
That story is also exactly 100 words.

the hardest part of the 100 word challenge was getting the right amount of words in to the story to make it interesting but you also need enough words to finish the story
I found out that If you don't have enough words in your story, describing words are good gap fillers in two ways
1- You can get the right amount of words
2- you make your story more interesting.

I found that I always had to many words and had to delete some words.
on the first story I had 144 words which was way to many but I couldn't find anything to get rid of.

I think the 100 word challenge is a good activity and I enjoyed it.

What I know now...

Now I know that I work better in smaller groups after doing a dancing tasks with Nogo.   I found this out after going in a big group and then a smaller group. I now know that I work better in small groups because in the big group I felt surrounded and small and for me it was hard to communicate and when I was in the small group I felt like I could breath and get work done because we could talk and work things out easier.
I have learnt all the ways to be a team leader including being humble. Being humble means letting other people talk and respecting their ideas. A humble person does not think they are humble.
we also learnt what the acronym TRUMP means
T- Thinking
R- Relating to others
U- Understanding
M- managing self
P-Participating and contributing

which is the opposite of what TRUMP does lol.
