Chapter 1

 Freedom.Ive always had it.I feel so grateful that I do.There is absolutely no way I have problems in my life...except one.Its quite confusing I don't have parents I mean every child has parents.My name is Amber and I am 11 years old.I think that my parents must have threw me away because they don't care for me anymore but no parent would do that...would they? 


I live in the beach away from any city or town.Ive never seen a girl or boy mostly animals that a girl or boy would never see.I built my own tent out of sticks and leaves and other stuff that I could find in the jungle behind the beach.Well it's not like I miss my parents I am fine here I just want to know why they would leave me here if it's a good reason or they just didnt like me.I have tried about a million times to set off and leave this beach and find my parents my plans never work so I just stay.



I somehow at night go up the cliff to see the stars you might not care about stars but I think there just fabulous.I always watch the majestic beauty glimmering in the night sky.Stars make me feel better.Stars clear up all the bad things in my mind.Stars make me relaxed.I will now tell you my weird yet surprising story.

Chapter 2

 Firstly,I was running around the beach it feels like seeing the stars although a little less relaxing.I feel fine without friends but my wish is to have one.Its so lonely in the beach only animals they can't talk English so it's Impossible to make friends with them.The only thing I ever do in the day is run around or sit in my tent.Its soooooo boring I wish I wasn't a human🙍🏼.Some day I hope my parents come take me and I can have a normal life like every child.


I suddenly hear something behind the bushes a rustling sound I hide behind my tent then a weird thing sprints out.It was a man and women dressed nicely but they had dirt all over the women had blonde hair just like mine and the man had brown and they both looked familiar...


"Hello who are you and what are you doing here!" I said

"Were just looking for stuff to use for the town we are Nelly and Cam," replied Nelly

I looked up I waited for them to hurt me but nothing happened they just...stood there.Cam told me I could come home with them.I felt delighted with glee.I followed them into the town.



I knew children would be there because I could hear them laughing playing and skipping.I counted to three...1...2...3!Then I jumped out of the bushes.They looked just like me.Some girls and boys had blonde hair like me.Some had brown some black and some ginger.The best thing about them was that they all didn't look the same well there were some twins of  course but other than that it was perfect.



Nelly and Cam led me to there house.All the houses were cottages.Nelly and Cam's house looked small but cosy.We went in the lounge had a TV a normal one  it had curtains with flowers and a fireplace.There were 2 chairs and Cat licking itself on the rug.The kitchen had a square table with four chairs and some cupboards.I went upstairs it had one room which  was a double bed and a guest room which was a single bed.The bathroom had a bath,toilet,sink and a rack where you put towels.

Chapter 3

Cam said "The cat is called cheese puff she's quite fat," 

Nelly said "You will be sleeping in the guest room,"

They walked away.I felt loved it was almost three weeks since they claimed me.I started high school I got into Canbel high school I was hoping to at least make a friend or maybe two.At my first day everyone stared at me as I walked down the corridor .I didn't dare look at them I was full of fear.I bumped into the school mean girl Peyton and her minions Elsie and Kathie.


I walked on not making a sound  Peyton said "Ooh new girl is speechless she's nothing but a terrible chicken," everyone at the corridor started laughing at me.Anger boiled inside myself.I felt like I could punch her any second.I wanted to but it was wrong I had to deal with the offensive jerk though.Then..........BANG Peyton was punched.I ran out people were staring at her wide-eyed while Elsie and Kathie were helping her up.


I banged straight into the head master Mr Oaksten he angrily said "I believe you are Amber the one who punched Peyton you will be sent to my office after school,".It wasnt  the best first day in Canbel High.As I walked into Mr Oaksten's office people moved away from me,I guess they heard about me punching The school mean girl.Days turned into weeks Weeks turned into months and months turned into years.Still no friends.I became the schools loner.I was bullied always avoided I couldn't even make friends with nerds!I wish I could disappear I was about 12.



I found Nelly dusting pictures there were 5 one had her mum one her big sister one of her and Cam one of her gran and one of me and her at the beach when I was 11.I had the same face I have at home when I am at school every loner has it I was upset embarrassed and mostly broken hearted.Nelly and Cam were my only friends there were like parents but.....were they?


Cam was a waiter at a cafe.It wasn't the best job.He was longing to be an actor I believed that one day he will be but then I wasn't so sure when I realised we were poor.I wouldn't say it to him though because his dream would be ruined and it'll be my fault.Nelly worked at a car wash place it wasn't well known so she didn't get payed much.For breakfast I would have battered bread and margarine.They couldn't afford a cooked breakfast.For lunch I would have cabbage soup but I wanted a roast dinner.We didn't even have supper!I had a packed lunch when I went to school with one single ham sandwich, that was all, no bicuits, no chocolate bars,no crisps.I wanted to leave this place it has been almost 2 years since Nelly and Cam found me.I don't like the food I wanted to be on the  beach eating mangos and ripe bananas off trees.


Nelly would say to me every night "If people are bullying you at Canbel High just stand up to them," I wasn't so sure I was ready to stand up to bullies well I did punch Peyton Martin in the face in my first day that was only because I was angry.I wasn't confident enough well that was that I will run away and I will do it tonight.
