A Little Glass Cafe'

“Happy Birthday dear Cee! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!” John screamed to his sister. “16 sweetie! You’re coming of age. You’re not my little girl anymore.” Cynthia mum pitched her cheek. “Hey! Stop it!” That hurts.” she complained. John and Mum collapsed into fits of laughter.  I can open grandfather’s letter today.  She thought. “I…I have to go get something.” She announced. Cynthia ran up the stairs to her room and shut her door. She walked over to her bedside table and opened her sock draw. Under all of her socks she kept her most prized possessions. A picture of her and her family, her gold and silver glitter pens, her old diary that she had used up when she was little and her letter. She opened up the letter and gasped. The letters written were moving. Around and around making pictures made of beige and sepia. “Hello Cynthia.” It said. She was gobsmacked. She tried to scream but nothing came out. It was like someone had a hand around her mouth “I hope you are havin...

Cynthia couldn’t sleep well that night. She kept on tossing and turning in her bed; the memory of the cave was scaring her. “It’s okay. Nothing is in here.” She would say to herself, but she always felt like she was being watched.  Alice wake up! You have to get up!  Cynthia bolted up and looked around here.  Come on Alice! We have to get to Overland, before it’s too late!  Cynthia screamed.  Alice! Alice! Alice ! “Cynthia! Are you okay?” Cynthia mother had quickly ran up the stairs to her room. “What’s all this noise? I am trying to sleep you know.” Said her father with a less caring voice. “Were you scared? I bet you were scared!” said John. Just then Stephaney started crying. “Look! You woke Stephaney up.” Cynthia father said cruelly to her as he walked out the room. “Oh and Mary, we need to talk.” “Can’t we do it tomorrow Henry. In the morning?” Cynthia’s mother replied. “No.” he said back sternly. Cynthia’s mother sighed and rolled her eyes...

Cynthia got home, and felled up the stairs to her room. She flopped on the bed with a great sigh. She rolled over when she thought of the new book that she got. She quickly got up and did her homework in a flash. Got out her laptop and checked her emails. She still hadn’t gotten one since late November. Cynthia shut her laptop with a snap. She told her self that she didn’t mind not having any friends, but she knew, in her heart that she longed to be seen as a person. She wanted to have friends so she could feel that she belonged. Remembering her book she opened it up to the 1st page. It read; For the Wonderlanders of time. Of Now and Then. “Wonderland. Weird. I thought this was a non fiction book.” Cynthia said to herself as she turned the page. Once upon a time… “Yep. Fiction!” Cynthia said. There was the magical land of Wonderland, where Queen Alice ruled. Everyone loved Queen Alice except her evil sister, the Duchess of Hearts, Elisa. One day, Elisa challenged Queen A...

“The, diameter is 50.974 cm thus that radius of this circle then is 25.487 cm long. To find the area you do Pie R squared. So then the area is 2039.70371 cm squared.” Said Clare, the head mathlete. Her friends clapped at her answer. “That is correct! Well done Clare.” Said Mrs Linndell. Clare lifted her head proudly. “Nerd.” Someone whispered “She probably used a calculator.” Said another. Clare turned around with in a rage. “Just because my IQ and intellectual capacity in by far superior to yours, does not mean that you can try to put me down with your meaningless words and jealousy” “She’s right. Anyone who does something like that again, will be have a weeks detention.” The class silenced. “Now, shall we get on with… MISS ALANDER! WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT?” Cynthia Alander smiled. “Well, Clare got that last question wrong.” Clare and Mrs Linndell looked shocked. “I went over the question again and it turns out that when 25.487 is the radius of a circle, tha...
