There once were four friends called Amy, Ella, Eliza and Mary. They were the best of friends, even though they had a couple of arguments they were best buddies, always,well before today. Amy,Eliza and Ells were year six, but Mary was year seven and didn't like that she had year six friends. She didn't used to mind but thnis term she did. We had had lots of friendship talks in the last seven weeks and the three year sixes had noticed something strange coming over Mary. She was being especially mean to Ella. Not as much Eliza and Amy though. That morning she had said some mean comment to both Eliza and Amy about having year six friends becase they got scared esyily. they took it and told Ella and they talked to Mary that morning tea. She just told them to forget about it and then walk to the crazy club clubhouse. There they talked about the water fight they couldn't have as the three year sixes had a libruary clean up. Then on the way back to class Mary dropped her frinship bracelet that they had made the day before. Ella went to pick it up and give it back to her . Then after she had given it back to her Mary deliberetly threw it on the ground with lots of force. This time she called Eliza to come over as Amy was allready back at class. "meg, you dropped your bracelet again!" Exclamed Ella. "yes,you did" added Ella. Then meg started explaing hurridly that she didn't wan't to be friends with year sixes. Then she said she wanted to be friends with Eliza and Amy, but not Ella!! Ella was so upset she hurridaly ran back to class fighting back tears. Eliza said she didn't wan't to be Mary's friend if mary wasn't going to be friends with her. that made her fell alot better.

This is a story of friendship.

Autobiography of Lilly Mackie

(A.K.A. Emma9)

I was born on the 21^st of February 1986 in Noosa, Australia. When I was four I moved to Illy Cottage in Sumner, Christchurch, with my Mother Tillie my Father Billie, my big sister Millie and me, Lillie.

The year after I moved to New Zealand, I started school. The school I started at was called Sumner School. It was a good school with lots of opportunities. I won a few awards for selling raffle tickets and fundraiser activities.

When I was six, my Father owned a hardware store to make money for the family. I used to come by after school to help sell things. This was my routine for about four years. This was until my father was mysteriously murdered in the night. The family was devastated, especially my mother.

 After my father died we ran out of money fast. As I was a nine year old I couldn't get a job. Then my Mum had my brother Phillie, so we needed money urgently. Then, two days after Millie's 19^th birthday, she was offered a job at Supervalue, Sumner. The family was thrilled!

I worked happily through my remaining years at primary school until it was time for me to go to high school. My only hope was a scholarship. Then 5 days before the deadline for us to go to high school, I found I had got a scholarship.  I was so relived and happy!!!!!

At high school I won lots of awards, especially for hardwere and organization.

A few months after my 18^th birthday I got a job at Bunnings werehouse so I thought I could go to university to learn how to be a sales person. I asked my Mum if I should and she said I shouldn't, so I didn't .Instead I got an apprenticeship as a sales manager insead. I did well at Bunnings Werehouse and finished my apprenticeship work early.

I had a life changing moment 3 weeks ago, when I sold the most hardwere sales in 3 minutes flat!!! And two months ago the queen came to bunnings werehouse when it was my day to manage the store!! She demanded the one type of spa that we didn't have in stock, and had already declared that if we didn't get the spa in 5 hours we would be shut down!! I had to fly to Auckland, get the spa and come back in the time of 5 hours. That was one of my most challenging moments.

My role model was, and still is my father; even though he is not alive he is still my roll model and hero.

At the moment I'm looking for a home and a new job as an actual owner of a hardwere store. My dream is to actually own my own hardwere store, and this can come true if I can get onto the island.
