The Interview. By Sanaya.
EREK!!!! mum braked so hard at the red signal that they nearly fell of their seats. They waited for it to turn green but... Mum let go of the brake and something wrong happened, the car wouldn't go. Scarlet's mum checked the petrol tank and she saw.... "Oh no Scarlet the petrol ran out we can't go anymore", shouted Bella.
"Oh no this can't be happing I won't be able to get my job". Beep Beep Honk Honk " Move your car lady", the man at the back shouted. " We can't it's run out of Petrol", shouted Scarlet.
" Can somebody help", screamed Bella.
" Wait I have an idea let us try and push the car Scarlet said.
"It's not working what are we going to do", Scarlet said.
" Well of course it's not going to work it's heavier than you are", said Bella. Scarlet didn't even bother to listen she was thinking for a solution and it suddenly came to her. " That's it I am going to look for a taxi", shouted Scarlet. She ran to look for a taxi with her heart pounding like a sprinter. 10 minutes past and no taxi came. After a while she walked back to the car with tears in her eyes dripping one by one. Her mum comforted her just like the old days when Scarlet was a baby.
Bella and Scarlet tried one more time but it still didn't work. " Hello, Hello can somebody please help", asked Scarlet on her half broken phone. Nobody picked up, she knew that she wouldn't get the job, she was angry and upset. She was never like this before. " Don't worry Scarlet I know you will get the job", said her mum. Scarlet stared at her jagged car like a dumb kid. She didn't even bother to talk and she just wept in her cold bare hands. " Mum I know this is terrible, I know your angry and I absolutely know I won't get the job", wept Scarlet.
" It's okay if you don't get the job and I am not angry, who made you think that" replied Scarlet's mum.
Scarlet picked up her cellphone which was nearly broken and called her boss. " Hello boss, I have important news. I know I am late I can't make it today to the interview so can you please give my job to the next person on the list I am very sorry", said Scarlet.
" What there is no interview today it's tomorrow didn't you listen", said the boss.
" WHAT!!!! no inter... interview today but how could that be", said Scarlet.
She took a pause and took out her note book and she read with her eyes what it said. Tuesday 9:00 sharp Board Room. " NOOOO!!!I can't make it tomorrow", said Scarlet.
"Oh well to bad for you won't get the job", said the boss.
Scarlet felt depressed and angry. " What, how can he do this to me", said Scarlet to her mum. Her mum comforted her but Scarlet just pushed her hand away. She cut the line in anger and locked it. Scarlet decided to call the tow truck to come and get her car. Minutes past and after 30 minutes it finally came with a really loud beeping sound. The people came and stuck the car to the handle. Scarlet had to walk ALL the way back home with tear drops in her eyes. Tears dropped on the road and that night she never forgot the day when she missed her dream job.

India Adventure By Sanaya
"Oh" I sighed in the car. Thinking that we were going to be late for the huge party. It was my seven year old cousin's party. I was so excited that she was getting into our Indian religion. The ceremony was held at India at a place called Car-ma. Car-ma is a gigantic place were lots of people's ceremonies can be held.
We got into the car and rode off. When we reached the place Car-ma like I said it was huge. I gasped "WOW"!! My eyes kept on blinking. My heart was pumping with joy. I was so excited. My mum and I were so happy when she got on to the stage her mum got the coconut before she got onto the stage or she would not be welcomed into our Indian Religion then she slammed it and some of the water splat on my face it tasted yummm.
"Oh my golly gosh" I was thinking in my mind. "Are they going to do the prayers now?" I asked my mum. "Yes they are" She said. I was so happy that the prayers were only half an hour long. Soon it was finished. One more thing to do. All was left to do was the roses. One of the people shouted "Roses time Yeah!!!!!" I said in my mind "Finally"!!!
This was my best part of the ceremony.It was Roses time.I was extremely happy because the roses were just about to fall from the basket. "Fall I said Fall" and the man pulled the string and the roses fell down on my cousin. "YEAH!! YEAH!! YEAH"!! they all shouted and my cousin was entered into our Indian Religion.
My Aunty got her daughter ready in her clothes. Everyone gave her beautiful necklaces of gold and silver they were the most beautiful presents I had ever seen. Soon when everyone finished, the DJ's came and put music on it was very groovy. When my cousin and I were dancing we fell over "Ouch that really hurt" I said.. but I just got a bruise.
"Hurry mum I am hungry" I was completely starving for dinner. We had cottage cheese, Chicken curry rice and my favourite Butter Chicken. It was so yummy I kept on eating and eating. For desert we had ice-cream and chocolate it was very yummy. After that we did some more dancing. Then after a little while we had to go home I said "Mum I don't want to go" but we had to.
Then....
"Sanaya come on we have to go home now"
"Nooo!! Please Please I don't want to go" I said.
Mum said " Sanaya, don't be ridiculous"
"Fine then".
Soon we all said goodbye. I felt melancholy. I did not want to go but we had to. I said goodbye to my friends and cousins. we got in into the car and drove off. Goodbye I said sadly to my friends from the window."Bye"!! everybody said.
That was the best day of my life in India.
