A Gaming World

Without warning I hear a whip crack. I awake from my slumber. I look at the clock 1 hour left! I head to my last class - maths.

During maths, I feel claustrophobic. I finish my work and sigh with relief. The bell chimes Ring, Ring, Ring! I walk home. On the way, I see something strange and a man. I wonder what he has there. I look back but he's not there.

The next day. “ Yes, Saturday! ” I open my window and see the guy from yesterday! I jump into my clothes, I leap into my shoes and race out the door to townsquare. I see that he's giving out stuff for free. They were called I-ph-on-es. He gave me one!  I thanked him for it and I rush inside out of the cold. This is amazing!

Without warning the town builds a massive, shiny and glorious statue! It's made of 100% gold and now there is a National Technology Day. This life is extraordinary now, except for…school. Ahhh, we just hate it. If only it would change to be a better school - somehow.

One week later.  As I read the news on my phone, a headline grabs my attention - The school is closing down. “Yes! ” I yell at the top of my voice. My parents come running, “What? What? ” “ The school is closing down! ” I shout. “Then what are you going to learn?” Mum asks curiously. “Nothing! ” I turn the telly on to the news “ Look, Look! The school is closing down and getting turned into … a gaming development school in only 7 weeks!” 

7 weeks later. “Ahh this is amazing, it's definitely a step up,” I think. My eyes widen as I see the classroom. “OMG, this is amazing.” I hear excitement bursting within the walls. I see students on computers learning how to develop games. Screens as bright as the sun. Students' smiles replace the frowns of the old school.

A gaming life.
