The Jealous and Unworthy Kids !
Once upon a time there was a class called unicorns, inside there were impolite, annoying and stressful children. They also used their phone during lessons but all of that changed when a beautiful , smart , tidy and responsible young girl called Allyssia came. Everything changed when Allyssia got there, Allyssia saw how they behaved poorly when it was time to start the first lesson, which was English . The students got an English test then they panicked but I was calm and got on with it . At the end of the first lesson I got a A+ everyone else got a F- everyone was jealous but ( Allyssia said they were unworthy). Every time she got an A+ they were jealous more and more. They tried day and night but they always ended up with an unsatisfactory grade. At the end of year 4 unicorns, Miss Daugherty had to tell the headteacher and she was blown away by the amazement of Allyssia’s work so they published it and they got a scholarship for Allyssia to go to a private school and Allyssia fit in perfectly with the other kids.
But in her new school they did marvellous activities like Art ,Spanish and History. She was the brightest girl in the class again but there was one problem; Allyssia was too smart for the teacher so they made her assistant Allyssia that helped her teacher with everything .Then it was ice cream week after ice cream week it was pyjama week then culture week, Allyssia was sad because she couldn't join in with the kids activities because she was the teacher's assistant and the teacher needed a lot of help. So she made a fairlist so all the teachers and headteachers including assistant Alyssia could enjoy the activities as well then she moved to year 5 and 6 until … She was in high school but she realised it got harder and harder every year so she tried her very best to get an A + and to make her family happy.
