I didn`t mind school, I actually quiet enjoyed it. But the thing I hated, was being an orphan.
 * THE BASALISC**

It was the day before my 13th birthday, and everyone was celebrating the last day of 1973. I was an orphan and I lived in a big castle, with lots of other orphans too.The only people that looked after us were teachers.

I was very lonely as I didn`t have any friends, but I didn`t let that pull me down.

"Who knows what 13x45 is?"asked Mrs Magonigal. I couldn`t be botherd answering.Mrs Magonigal, was a bossy person, but only because she wanted us to learn.She was an old wrinkly bag with a horrible perm.Her clothes were always covered in flowers and bumble bees.

I shot my muscular hand up,"Yes Edward?" Mrs Magonigal questioned, "I have to go to the bathroom" I quiverd. Spiting out of the classroom, I stood like a statue when I suddenly closed the door. The lights had blown out but I could still see and there were, people like statues lying ohn the cold tiled floor. Not moving an inch or even a millimetre. They were "Petrified". I didn`t know what to do, but the weird thing was that I wanted to find who did this and fast.My scared feet started to move down the lonesome hallwa, but suddenly "Thump"

My body was all slimy and stiff while I was lying flat on the floor. I stumbled up onto my feet and saw scales on the floor covered in slime.

I knew that this slime was from some sort of snake.I knew what it was ...It was a Basalisc and if you looked it dead in the eyes you would be petrified forever.

Following the slimy trail, my eyes saw the tail of the Basalisc. "Aaaahhhh"I ran closer to the scream. Round the corner I looked and saw a pair of great big yellow eyes staring right into mine."Thump."I couldn`t move.

A BIG SHOCK!!!**__ celebratingI was happily reading my Twilight book,and all of a sudden, "Earthquake" !!! Mum yells.

We all jumped out of bed and ran to the doorway,[because we couldn`t fit under thr beds] and stood under there holding on as hard as we could. the house was shaking so badly,that if we let go we would fly into the wall.It was like you were on a boat, and giant waves were rocking it side to side.

There was a light ontop of us in the hallway, and it was hitting the roof.Also to make things even better the power went off.After it stopped we all went outside to see if any damaged had happened gladly nothing had happened so we went inside[in the dark],and the power suddenly came on, [it`s about time]. But the toilet decided to flood the whole bathroom.

We sat down all shaking like we had seen a ghost and watched tv for hours. when we finally got tired we all went to bed.But we couldn`t get to sleep. Because there were millions and billions of after shocks.At about 4:00 I FINALLY went to sleep.ZZZZZzzzzzz
