On a holiday

[Johanna Murray]

Johanna walked along the busy street.This was her first time in a differnt country.When she had arrived home for the Christmas holidays her mother had surprised her in saying they were going to New Zealand for two weeks.Johanna had shocked at first she hadn't even believed her mother as never really had money to spare.But here she was in New Zealand.She had only arrived two days ago but the jet lag hadn't worn off.She should of been asleep in bed by this time in France but instead she was exploring.

She found herself walking towards the harbour.There was a lovely view and Johanna sat down on a near by bench to soak it all up.She was still trying to get used to the weather.Her head was very confused because it was the summer season here but it was the month of December.She had never really thought of New Zealand though she had heard there was a magical school here.That made her feel better knowing that where she was going would have magical people there.She looked out at the view and closed her eyes for a few seconds and breathed in deeply.She hadn't really relaxed in a while so it was nice to have some her time.

Out of Character:

Its not very good.

 

[Sierra Marie]

Sierra's parents was out on holiday, which meant she had to go visit a distant aunt who apparently live in New Zealand. She fuss about not being able to go back home, to Maine. Instead she had to make do of her vacation in the warm weather of New Zealand. That means no snow this year. She would have to celebrate Christmas wearing summer clothing, exploring the beaches and eating ice cream to feel cool instead of having to warm up near a chimney's fire. She found it won't be the same for the girl, the snow made winter and Christmas for it. It was the reason for hot cocoa and cookies when you just felt the very chill of the snow fiery. It was the reason why her house glowed outside, because of the Christmas lights and the snow covering the entire snow. It's not the same!

After a few days of being stuck inside, she took her leave and went on a msic adventure of her own. She was wearing a floral dress that parted right at her knees, she had flat shoes that showed of her ankle bracelet, she had her hair curled neatly down at her shoulders. Warm weather meant pretty dresses, but still she miss it. It was the meaning of Christmas she will miss, not really the cold. Though the summer air prove to be comforting for the girl. After buying a cold smoothie by a fruit stand, she saw a girl sitting alone with her eyes close. "Are you alright Miss? Is there something wrong?" she sat without a much formal introduction. Instead she went with the flow and sat wherever did she please too.
