How Rain Helps by Fleur Le Coultre (continued)
Jenifer giggled. Even though she had only known this boy for
a couple of minutes, she was beginning to like him. Using the
same tone she said,
‘’Well, I’m Jenifer, what’s your name?”
Rolling his eyes, the boy replied, “Well, I am Charles. Done.
Dusted. Now leave.”
‘’Hide. Now!’’ Charles nodded and did what Jenifer said and hid
behind the curtain, again.
Flash Fiction

‘’Mum! I’m here!’’ Jenifer stepped out of the room.
Jenifer’s mum gave a look as if she was saying “why were you in
there?” Matilda sighed and shrugged her shoulders, she wasn’t
that angry.
‘’Hey, hey, hey! Not so fast,” said Jenifer grabbing Charles’ arm
just in time before he reached the door.
‘’ Jenifer! Where are you?’’ Mrs Ashwood was calling. Both
children gave each other frightened glances, they both knew
what each other was thinking, Jenifer knew that her mum didn’t
know about Charles and would take him away. Matilda hated
children that weren’t her own, and especially Charles. I haven’t
been able to tell you why the Ashwood’s were there because
the house made too much noise on windy/rainy days and they
had come to complain again. If she complained once more she
declared that she (Matilda) will knock down the whole building
altogether. If she found Charles, Matilda would send him to an
orphanage and hide him altogether.

Hello my dog is called Rusty. She has just recently had her third.
I will be keeping a puppy in this litter this time. The puppy is
called Penny she will follow you everywhere, she will also jump
on you if she wants hugs. She loves to get pats and she will love
the belly rubs. She likes the attention. When you open the front
door she will greet you with kisses and bites. She is funny. If she
wants to she will go to the toilet on our floor instead of going
through the doggy door and going to the toilet outside. I think
she is adorable. If you put the dog on your bed and put her next
to you she will lick, kick and scratch you. If you pick Penny up she
will also bite your ear. Penny is young but fast for a puppy. Penny
is full of pouncing energy. My other dog Rusty is very stinky
because that’s just what happens. They get stinky because of
taking care of the puppies’ bums and other disgusting stuff.
