The amazing adventures of Thomas
“Hurry up you will be late for school!” I heard my mum shout.
“Coming” I said blocking my ears.
I slowly flopped my blankets off my bed, looked at my alarm clock and.... “Oh no It’s 9:00!” I ran outside with no breakfast, no bag, still in my pj’s to the school grounds.
“Hello, Thomas” my teacher said calmly, “you're….., late, you know what that means……”
“detention” I said sadly.
I knew walking to detention was shameful, but by myself, I could just go in the opposite direction. So I walked to the office and about 5 meters away, I ditched detention.
I ran out of the school grounds, not looking where I was going. I stopped, I didn't mean to stop, but I did. At that moment, I felt a slight choking tug on my collar. It was the school bully, holding me up by the collar.
The school bully was a tall, fat kid ready to punch anyone who is nearby. He always wore a black beanie and a dark green top with a skull on it. His name was a bad name, a terrifying horrible name. It was Jeff.
I was super scared, but he went calm, and shyly said “hi”. “Uuuuhhhhh, hi” I said back ”are you trying to escape school too?”
“Yes” he said back to me. We both ran out of school as fast as we could. until Jeff stopped, I didn’t know he stopped, then a moment later I was lost.
I was under water. I tried swimming to the top, at the top, I saw a man, the man was in a dingy, fishing. “A little help” I said.
“How can I trust you” he said
“because you are kind…?”
“catch the rope me lad” the strange man said
“Okay, but trust me, I won’t hurt you”
