The Day Of

Ezra

742 days after

When was the last time you saw Henry Marsh? No not the one sitting on the opposite side of the classroom with his head down and headphones in. The other Henry Marsh the one who used to laugh and smile and was like every other 17 year old boy. Two Years ago was the last time I saw Henry, the old Henry.

‘Hey Henry, howzit?’ asked James when Henry came through the school gates. He ignored him and kept on walking. He walked on towards the school. Before he could get to the school doors I stepped in front of him.

‘Hey, do you have the money?’ I asked him

‘What money?’ he said with a quizzical look on his face.

‘Don’t tell me you forget the money, because I can still tell everyone what you did’ he cowered away from me as I said this.

‘I have it…sort of’ he said quietly.

‘What do you mean sort of?’ I asked. Before he could tell me the school bell rang, and he ran inside the school.

1 day before

‘Can I go out for a walk?’ I asked my dad. He nodded but kept his eyes on the TV. I went into the hallway I stopped at the mirror and looked at myself, at my mousey brown hair, deep blue eyes and square jaw. I wouldn’t go so far as to call myself ugly, but I was no Ezra. I grabbed the house keys from the hook and put them in my pocket.  Ever since my Mother died I like to take long walks whenever I start thinking about her.

I was walking by the forest when I saw this homeless man trying to build a fire. He had a cup in front of him; I started to cross the road so that he wouldn’t ask me for spare change. I was halfway across the road when I heard him shout ‘why do you cross the road? Is it because you’re scared of me? I turned around to see him hobbling over to me. I started to run I heard his footsteps behind me. I didn’t get very far before he caught me. He grabbed me by the shoulders and started to shake me. ‘Get off of me you freak’ I screamed at him. Alas he would not let go

‘You pompous idiot think you’re better than me, well your wrong I used to be like you’ he shrieked. He reared back his head and spit on my face. His hands loosened for a bit, this was my chance I kicked him in the gut and he stumbled back. A taxi went by I screamed at the driver to stop. When he stopped I jumped in the car and told him to step on it. When we were safely away from the homeless man the driver asked me where he was driving me. I gave him my home address.

34 days before

When henry was in school the next day he sat down without talking to anyone.

‘Are you ok?’ I asked him. He nodded. As soon as class started he perked up and was fine for the rest of the day. He always does this; he is moody one minute then beaming like a marathon winner the next.

At lunch I saw him sitting with his usual group of friends, I went over to sit with my friends. I didn’t actually have any lunch though because I am kind of in a spot with money, I knew Henry had loads of money, apparently when his mum dies she left him thousands of euros.   Henry and I are not really friends so I only knew this from rumours. In fact I kind of think he is a bit of an annoyance, what with all his mood swings and he interrupts the teachers when they are speaking and he is always trying to be funny. Half the time he is but the other half of the time it’s just awkward. I was talking to my friend Jack when I heard a tray smash against the ground, I turned and there was Henry pinning his friend to the ground, this is very normal for Henry especially on his mood swing days. ‘He is kind of like a pregnant bull’ Jack said.

Henry

The day of

I was lying in bed thinking over what had happened yesterday, nobody spoke to me like that, nobody. Especially some homeless man who doesn’t even have clean clothes. I asked dad for the car keys he said no.

‘Why?’

‘Because you got into a fight today which means no car’

‘But…but…but I always get into fights you should be used to it by now’

‘Take a hike’ he said. I wanted to argue but his head was already turned to the TV. I went up to my room, I started playing Guns N Roses, I always play them when I’m mad.

A little after 9 o`clock I went downstairs. Sure enough my dad was asleep on the couch. I went into the hallway grabbed the car keys when my conscience said something what are you doing? You can’t hurt a man without a weapon. My conscience is different that way it more reminds me then advises me. I went down to my basement and grabbed my dad’s gardening shovel. I drove all the way down to where I saw the homeless man last night and sure enough there he was hunched over his fire again he seemed to be cooking something. I parked the car across the road. I grabbed my shovel and got out; I tried to be as quiet as possible. I got all the way across the road without the man turning around. When I was close enough I lunged.

Ezra

The day of

I saw it all happen I saw it when Henry lunged for the man, then hit him with a shovel. I was standing about 20ft away behind a tree, I was there looking for my dog which had gone missing. I tried to stop watching but I just couldn’t. I wanted to call out for Henry to stop but suddenly my throat had gotten totally dry and the only sound that came out was a whisper. Henry was shouting at the man telling him off even. I forced my eyes closed, I heard a clang, and I opened my eyes.

Henry

The day of

The homeless man lay on the ground blood trickling from where I had hit him on the temple

‘Oh my god, I killed him’ I murmured. I crumpled to the ground. I heard a noise and I looked up and there stood a beautiful face belonging to a boy named Ezra.

‘You… killed… him’ he said, he had a look similar to mine on his face. I nodded

‘I am going to have to call the police’ he said to me, he started backing away from me with his hands up like he was trying to surrender.

 ‘You can’t’ I said

‘Www…why…not’

‘Because I would go to jail and I don’t want to go to jail’. His eyes lit up like he had just had an amazing idea.

‘Pay me’ he said.

 ‘What? No’ I replied. He started walking up to me; he only stopped when he was a few centimetres away from me. I never realised how tall he was.

Ezra

The day of

As soon as I thought of it I immediately said it. It was a perfect idea I would be paid by Henry to keep quiet that would definitely sort out my money problems.

‘I refuse to pay you until you help me get rid of the body’ he said. I thought about it for a bit.

‘Sure’ I was surprised by how UN shaky my voice sounded, I thought I would be more traumatised considering I had just seen a murder. ‘I need you to pay me €50 to keep quiet every day until I tell you to stop’. He nodded

Henry

Every day after

I didn’t want to talk to anyone once I got home so I had just gone to bed.

When I arrived at school the next day I slipped the money into Ezra’s bag. Everyone kept asking me how I was, I just ignored them. I thought the worst thing to ever happen to me would be my mum dying. But nothing could be worse than the guilt I feel. It doesn’t matter where I am or who I am with, I feel it. It is like a weight dragging me down until I’m nothing. I can’t even drive past the forest anymore. Nobody knows about it but me and Ezra, but I still feel like everywhere I go the police are going to arrest me.

Ezra

234 day after

I can see why he doesn’t talk to anybody anymore. I wouldn’t if I had done what he had done. I am not in any of his classes anymore. He probably asked to be transferred.

I stopped getting money on the 200^th day after it happened I didn’t ask him about it, I decided to just leave him alone just like everybody else. People used to sit with him at lunch soon after it happened but once he stopped talking everybody stopped. People avoid him in the halls, they avoid him on the street. Kind of like the way he avoided the man that ruined his life. Huh

this is a story i wrote for a writing competition for tall the junior schools in dublin, I won first place with this story and i really hoped you liked it. Even if it is really dark

it's been so many months

OMG I haven't written like so longx I just suddenly got the urge to Write and I feel powerful and almighty. If there was a goddess of never writing on her blog then suddenly doing it and feeling powerful because of it then that is ME!
So much has happened and as I was writing this I was thinking what could I do and now I know I'm going to write about..? Dammit so much has happened I know it has I just can't frigging remember it. Like does that ever happen to you, like for school since its my last year I have to write all about my time in the school, real soppy stuff. I have to say the moment I laughed the most and I have no Ducking idea... I can barely remember why I came into a room let alone remember something funny form when I was 5.I could write about how when I was 7 a boy in my classes frube exploded on me. It wasn't funny then but it's funny now. I could say how when I was 5 I ( in my class we had this necklace that you had to wear when you went to the bathroom so the teacher would know where you were) made another one of those necklaces and snuck away, I'm sure I was only gone for like 4 minutes but I felt so evil. See the only things that happened that were funny were not funny at the time and I only laughed 4 years later when I thought about what happened.

Best School Trip Ever

Ok today my class went on a school trip to a normally boring place and it was quite boring until we left. So traditionally after this trip the class would go to a shop to get sweets and we did, as i was munching on a dairy milk bar when my principal who comes with us one these trips says "let us go into the St stephens Green playground" we are all like really happy. Our class teacher groans but walks us into the Park. You know that place with the fountain yeah there well we were walking along there when i saw these four girls wearing matching black coats with their hair all in a perfect high ponytail. Suddenly I see their faces,it is Maddie Ziegler, Mackenzie Ziegler, Kalani Hilliker ans Kendall Vertes (the Dance Mom girls) my class-mates all stop (except for the boys)and we stare, a few say hi i start laughing, then hyperventilating we all start punching each other and saying "is it them is it really them" or "Look look oh my god look". Maddie, Kalani and Mackenzie say hi back to us. I swear to god i almost faint . Then Mackenzie looks right into my eyes probably because she thinks i am going to faint. Then we hear a voice calling them back , we look over and it is Jill Vertes.they start to run over to her, we are all just so speechless that we let them run.
It was the best 30 seconds of my whole frigging life

Tenerife part 1

Hey!
i just came back from tenerife yesterday which (in case you didn't know) in the Canary Islands. Now i was there for a week so i didn't want everything i did to be squished into one gigantic blog post, so i decided to have a few parts to the story of my Tenerife adventure.
So first day
Saturday: we arrived late so all i did was eat dinner and go to bed in a double bed
Sunday: Now the hotel i was staying at was quite swanky so we had a buffet breakfast every morning and today was the first day i experienced it. I have to say i am normally a morning person but it was just so hot that i didn't get out of bed till like 10 o`clock and when i did i had some breakfast and lay on a sun lounger all day, occasionally jumping in the pool and lathering on tons of sun cream.
Monday: basically the exact same thing as Sunday, hey did you know that in Tenerife they don't have Netflix which means i couldn't watch Pretty Little Liars which makes me so very very sad.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! (that took me a good 3 minutes)

wow can you believe it is 2015 already, i remember it being 2011 and saying "i'm going to have to wait like 10 years to watch finding dory" but now i can be all like "i'm going to have to wait 3 months or so to watch finding Dory". Can you believe the world was supposed to end like 3 years ago, i mean like LOL (laugh out loud). Is everybody making resolutions, i sure am or i sure have already broken number 2. It is extremely difficult to keep resolutions, everyone says oh i'm going to keep all my resolutions, than 3 days later they are knee deep in resolution breaking.


My Resolutions:

1. Create a List where I write down all the books i have read in 2015, so at the end of the year i can see how many books i read.
2. Stay dry for a whole month.
3. Be a nicer person (scoff)
4. Make my blog better (like i can make this any better)
5. Win any kind of award
6. Pick up a spider
7. Read a lot of books
8. Go to more movies
9. Take down the christmas tree
10. Not break any of these

you're probably wondering how I have already broken number 2, considering the fact that i'm 12 years old. Well the thing is i had a sip of my dad's beer. I know rebel=mia.
