| Corey was 13 years old, when he first opened his jewellery business. At first he would buy jewellery then sell it through a website, but as time went on his business grew. His business was so successful that he opened a store, then his business was so popular that he started to sell his own products. And at the age of 29 Corey had become a wealthy businessman.
7 years later… Corey was just about to close his store when he heard the bell at the top of the entrance ring. He turned around to the most majestic and beautiful woman he has ever seen. Her hair was like the roots of an oak tree and her bright hazel eyes dazzled in the sunlight. “Hey there, I know that you are about to close, but I really need a necklace for my sister’s birthday tomorrow” Said the gorgeous woman. Corey laid the broom he was holding against the wall and said. “Of course you can look at the necklace selection.” Corey stuttered trying to figure out the woman’s name. “Oh, my name is Hemi,” The woman responded. Corey helped Hemi find a necklace she liked for her sister then secretly wrote his phone number on the receipt, hoping they would find each other again one day. Hemi also had an interest in Corey then they started dating. Then Corey proposed with a stunning diamond ring, then three years later Corey and Hemi were happily married. After four years of living with Hemi happily, Corey suddenly started to gamble. Corey started playing poker with some of his friends and he would always win. Corey then thought he could spend more money and get more money back, then soon Corey was addicted to gambling. Corey would always win until he risked half of his millions on a football game and then lost. Corey thought he would get his money back by gambling even more money to make more money but he just kept losing. Meanwhile, Hemi started to get sick but both Hemi and Corey hid their secrets from each other. One day Corey got a call from the hospital. “Hemi Lawrenson, your wife, is in hospital from a minor stroke and we need you to come so we can talk with you.” Corey rushed over to the hospital just to find out Hemi had developed a sickness, which if not treated it becomes lethal. Corey was devastated by this news but was even more devastated when he found out the price of the treatment. Corey had to sell his jewellery business just to afford the treatment. Slowly Hemi did not improve but just started to get worse. The treatment had only slowed Hemi’s progression down temporarily and then Hemi slowly died. Corey spent the last of his money burying Hemi. Corey had nowhere to go and no money left, but just before Corey was homeless he saw a gambling opportunity that he knew he could win. Corey just needed something to gamble with. That’s when he had a great but savage idea. When Hemi was buried she was still wearing the jaw dropping diamond ring Corey proposed with, Corey knew it was enough to get him into the bet. Late that night, once the sun was on the brink of going down, Corey went to the grave where Hemi was buried. This time was perfect because there was just enough light to see but it was too dark for people to visit. Corey dug until he found his wife’s cold, deep blue lifeless body. CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Corey heard a pair of footsteps crunching through the leaves, then heard the giggle of a sweet little girl. Corey frantically tried to pull the ring off Hemi but her finger was too swollen the ring wouldn’t budge. Corey hated what he was about to do. Corey reluctantly twisted Hemi’s fourth finger with the ring. The sound horrified Corey so he closed his eyes. “I am so sorry love” RRRRRRIP! Corey slowly opened his eyes to see his wife’s finger in his hand. With tears in his eyes he ran to the place where he could place his bet. A few days passed and Corey was trying so hard not to think about the thing he had done. Corey walked back to the place where he had placed his bet. COREY HAD WON 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS. Corey walked into the office homeless, with no money at all, then walked out richer than he had ever been! Corey bought his business back and bought a gigantic retro old looking mansion. Corey had finally got all his money back and swore to never gamble in his life. KNOCK! KNOCK! Corey rushed to the door thinking it was the Big Mac he ordered. Corey swung the door open to a small girl looking up at him. The girl looked around seven years old with two blonde pigtails and a stained white shirt paired with a black cottage skirt. “Hello sweetie,” Corey said. The little girl put her identical doll up in Corey’s face. “Me and Looloo are lost and cold,” The little girl replied Corey saw the tears in her eyes and brought her in. “My name is Emi,” The little girl said. Corey thought of how similar her name was to his wife’s but just ignored it. “I’ll go bring some cookies and milk for you Emi and you Looloo” As Corey was pouring the glasses of milk he heard a familiar melody playing from the piano. As Corey walked over to the lounge room he remembered the song, it was his wedding song. “Who taught you that song Emi? You’re astonishingly amazing!” “My mummy taught me,” Emi said, looking a little sad. Corey thought Emi missed her mum. As Corey looked down he noticed Emi was missing her fourth finger. “Goodness me, What happened to your finger?!” Corey said in shock. Emi turned at Corey with raging fireballs in her eyes and screamed in the voice of a screeching voice… “YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!” To this day, no one has seen Corey… To this day, you can hear the wedding song play from the mansion… To this day, the little girl walks around taking revenge on the deserving people… You never know where she might be or who she might be… |

My First Few Days in Kahu 2024
The first few days as a year 8 have been hectic but extremely fun!
We have started the year by setting our selves up for success, like organising our P.A.L (Portfolio of Assessment & Learning), setting up our google drive and learning about the book standards and the expectations as a year 8.
We have also started to apply for jobs around Kahu. I have applied for the Foodtastic team and to become a Hospice Ambassador. Last year I signed up to be a Road patroller, so I have been helping at the school crossing on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. I was also chosen to be Head Girl for this year and I got to run my first assembly this year. I was feeling a bit nervous but excited at the same time.
We also did a writing test where we had to write a recount about Whānau time. Now we are working on independently marking our test and identifying our next steps.
We are also practicing our SDL tasks with the teachers then taking evidence and putting it into our evidence folders on Google Drive.
To celebrate the Lunar New Year we’re all working on making our Lunar New Year lanterns. First we made our prototypes in a group and now we’re making our final lanterns independently. When I made my lantern I used a can and wrapped it with gold sticker and then used red to make the other bits of my lantern.
Soon there is a Softball tournament in school which I am a part of. My team and I have been practicing a lot for the tournament. Because our school field (the place we would usually practice) is in construction, we have to walk down further past our school to a patch of grass to train. Sometimes we would drive down to Totara park to train instead.
I also trialed for the school swimming team. We all drove down to Manurewa Highschool and trialled in their pool. I really enjoyed that day and it was lots of fun.
It has been an AMAZING start to the year, from making our lanterns to finally being able to see my friends again (and dominating them in volleyball).
