My Journey

By Charlotte Ost

“Charlotte, come on its time to get up now”. I sat up in my comfy, pink bed and rubbed my eyes. I turned my head and looked up at the ticking clock on my bedroom wall. It was 7:30am and I was extremely tired! I flung the covers away from me and got dressed into some jeans and a blue jumper then went downstairs for breakfast.

“What do you want for your breakfast?” My mum asked me. I slowly shrugged my shoulders and my mum offered me some Weetabix so I went and sat at the dining room table and started to eat my breakfast.

When I had finished I ran upstairs to brush my teeth and hair. I then got my shoes on and went and sat in the car to wait for my family. When we were ready my dad pulled the gear stick and we were of on a journey to the capital on England, London.

I looked out of the window as we were heading for the motorway and saw different colours and types of cars. We were about and hour and a half into our journey when I closed my eyes for a second. When I opened them I found my self sat in a giant black huma with sparkling lights shining down. I then looked down at my clothes and I was wearing a shimmering silver dress and gorgeous strappy sandals. Then slowly the door opened and all I could see were mobile phones and cameras flashing. I then stepped out onto a red carpet and as I walked towards a tall building fans were screaming my name and holding out pens for me to sign there autographs………………. “Charlotte Charlotte” Suddenly I came too and realised it had all been a dream.

I opened the car door, stepped out and looked down at my gorgeous strappy sandals!!!!!
