In side my head I’m thinking am I in trouble what is the principal going to do to me what is he going to say to me? I nervously walk into the Principles office while chattering my teeth. Sweat is running down my forehead.

“Hello Mr James” I said. Mr James replied in a very stern voice “Hello Louisa”. “Am I in trouble” I said  “of course not I just wanted to tell that I was going to represent the school in the 200m sprint race at the next regional carnival.” Mr James replied. I was astonished I was so happy that I smiled until my cheekbones started to ache. I spent the rest of the day smiling and I could not even concentrate on my schoolwork because I couldn’t wait to do the race.

As I got in the water with my smooth dry hair I felt water splashing from my head to toe. I remembered the time I first went scuba diving, it was scary. I always thought of sharks eating me and once I tried scuba diving it became my hobby. Day after day going into the water I searched for one particular thing and it was treasure. When I was little I imagined being a pirate hunting for treasure, in that treasure chest there will be lots and lots of sparkly coins, crowns, bracelets and more.

On Thursday 16 of February 2007 I found something I wanted more then anything. It started like this: I was wearing a scuba diving suit, I jumped in the cold, shallow water. I was freezing until I found a wreaked titanic. I went into it, ( I knew it was I dumb idea ) it was dark and moldy. I saw fishes hiding in the dark, while I was opening one the doors it was creaking loudly. My hands were shaking continuously, I didn’t know what was inside. I could be a shark or something worse. As I peeked inside quietly I saw something amazing. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was something I dreamed of every night, it was something I wished for every birthday. And there is was, right in front of me! IT WAS A TREASURE CHEST! I felt like this was the best day of my life, I also felt amazed. I couldn’t taste or smell anything when it happened it was like I froze or a few minuets.

That day onwards I told everyone but no one believed me, but I didn’t care because I believe in myself.

"Noooooo", as I screamed inside my head. I just got a note that said I had to go to the principal's office...right away! I got so worried, that...SLAM, I dropped my notebooks onto the ground. I can taste, and smell the sweat running down my face, I can see Mr Smith, the principal, inside the principal office clicking his pen in frustration. But then I realise, that if I don't go and talk to Mr Smith, I could get in big, big trouble. So I march in, but surprisingly, he looks quite happy. So now I feel more in control and calm, but still confused. He says "good morning" to me, and I reply back saying "good morning". He tells me that he has great news and he told me that I'm not in trouble, which is good. Then a tells me the great news and he tells me that I'm School Captain for this year! I froze as I was surprised. "Thank you so, so much Mr Smith, but how? "Well we had a vote while you were away last week, and everyone voted for you". He replies. "Ohhh that makes much more sense, thanks, but who got vice"? "Jennifer Brown". He says. "Ok, and again thank you so much, bye". Then I walked out with the biggest smile on my face.

Crack! The boat starts rapidly filling with salty water. All of a sudden grey pointy objects start circling like a cheetah chasing its prey. Sweat starts running down my face as I pace back and forth. Will this be my last moment? Zanna, David, Hugo, Ayden, Ellie & Levi – Queens Beach, Yr 5SK

We were surrounded by 10 metre man killing sharks. We were all screaming. One nearly flicked us in the face. We could feel the boat shaking with the waves. There was a big hole in the boat. We didn’t know what to do. Gypsy, Brody and Jack – Merinda 3/4R

Over the horizon I peer through the sun set drifting away. Ready to pack up I get a cold shiver down my boney spine, from the foggy mist. I can smell the salty fish that we caught earlier this morningsuddenly I can hear water splashing beside the boat. Circling us were three pointy fins. Ivy, Chloe, Jasmine & Emily – Mount Gambier, YR 4/5

As the day passes, and the night goes, I see something edging closer. The boat rocks, Brandy turns to me helplessly, I feel worried and scared. Then a loud grunting noise is heard, the taste of salt is sneaked through my mouth as the clouds clear. I’m stunned, I’m paralyzed with fear. I can smell something, it smells rotten, suddenly the dead fish rise. “I’m hungry” my brother complains, I want to go home. If only, I think to myself, I feel like crying, but then I would be looked as a weakling. Charlee – Merinda Senior, Yr 6

As I looked up and down trying to figure who would live in such a thing that magnificent. I then remembered my mission. As my horse trotted closer  to the big grey, old, ancient yet beautiful building, I didn't even think I was aloud to name the thing yet I did so. I climbed out of my terrified yet calm horse, and I had the guts to walk inside of the castle. I started to feel nervous. It was so dark inside that I could not even see where I was going. As my foot stepped a bit closer deep inside, I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest. I might be the courageous knight that saves every damsel in distress but this armour just makes me look brave. Inside of me I am really a wimp. One small candle lit the way as I could see a faint shadowy staircase in front of me. I tried not to think any negative things. Though i thought of why I was really in this castle. I was hunting for that big green, fire breathing beast. Even thinking of it makes me gag. I try to walk up the dark staircase but every step I take, my legs feel like jelly and I feel like i'm going to collapse. They fear building up inside of me, I can smell smoke. Slowly step by step, I build up the courage inside me and walk up the dangerous ancient stairs that look like they are going to give away. As I walk it seems like it is taking forever to get up to the top. I try to catch my breath and at the end I got to the top and.....there it was. It was staring straight at me. "So we meet again" it growled. Its breath stunk so badly. I was so terrified i couldn't even move to get my sword out. It was the Dragon!

There I was standing on the stage, I place my hands slowing but firmly on the microphone. Nervously standing there waiting for the music to start. All of a sudden the music starts, when I start singing all of the fears and worries I had disappeared! I sang my heart out singing “Wings” by Delta Goodrem. I thought that no judge would turn around but I still had faith in myself. Then …. Delta turned around and Ricky! I was so surprised but grateful at the same time. When I finished singing only two of the judges turned around. I was still extremely proud of myself because …. I GOT INTO THE VOICE!

This is the voice da na na na! As I hear the voice starting, I got so excited that I dropped my popcorn on the floor and the bowl broke. So I got up, paused the TV and started to clean up....and make another batch of popcorn. "Ok now I'm done, hopefully nothing else happens". As I'm about to press play on the remote, I hear loud banging noises coming from the corridor, and guess who it is, it's my brother, James. "Could you please quiet down I am trying to watch the voice, oh and by the way Delta Goodrem is performing live at the end, so yeah shush it".   "Ok fine, but you don't have to be so rude, rude people these days" he whispers. Ok now I look around to see if everything is settled, and it is, so I press play. "OMG I didn't know that Justine Smith was a contestant". As she's about to begin, she hears a giant "BOOO" from the crowd she smells fear and then she collapses. I feel the pain that she's in. The judges run out to the stage and call for help. They take care of her, they take a quick break. After the break she feels better and performs, all 4 chairs turned around, every single one of them wanted her. The thing was, she didn't know who to pick, then the host said that there was going to be a vote and the first person on the voice app picks the judge that's the team Justine's going on. So ran to get my phone, of coarse the app was already downloaded so I went on the app and picked Delta Goodrem, of coarse I wasn't the first person to vote so I had no hope. As soon as the short break ended they read out the judge and you voted, surprisingly it was ME they read out Emily Green and the judge Delta Goodrem, I was so happy. After they announced the judge they had a huge announcement they said that I was going to be invited to the next show. I got so excited that I jumped for joy. Im not going to lie but I dropped my popcorn on the ground, again, but the bowl didn't break because it landed on my head. It was a great night.

Aha we're going to die!!! The aggressive sharks are circling. Holly & James screamed with fear. They are scared and are becoming increasingly scared as the water rises in their sinking old fishing boat.

Whoosh, whoosh, went the waves as we could see Great White Sharks chomp their large teeth towards us. John (my brother) was terrified and felt sea sick. He said “I want to go home!” As I looked up I could see the pitch black sky. John was holding my hand until I lost circulation in my hand. I was scared we wouldn’t survive.

The sweat is running down my throat, my heart feels like it wants to come out of my chest. I don't move a single muscle. I see dull, grey fins. The deep, dark ocean seems like it wants to eat us whole. The sky seems mysterious as the clouds show misery. I can feel the wind slapping at my face looking as though it wants to fight me. I can taste the sweat and fear in my mouth. The smell of salty air and fear does not help me. I can feel the sharks smiling and grinning at me. It is obvious that they want to eat me.

The thunder strikes again!! "Oh no, not again", cried Ski, but this time it hit us hard. Not only did it make a loud strike,  but in the distance we saw trees, old trees burning and and falling to pieces. "What's going to happen to us Ski?" "I don't know." I said.

We hopped on the hard boat. As I started the engine we could smell the fresh fish and salty air, the best smell in the world for a someone who loves to fish!  As the boat rocked side to side, we took out the bait. Jimmy picked up the heavy rod, threw in the line and sat back happily waiting for a bite.

Suddenly we felt something heavy pulling the boat. "We have a fish!" Jimmy said as we got pulled through the water. When Jimmy tried to pull the fish up the engine broke off and fell into the water heavily. We looked at each other, then we looked around us. The water rippled. Silence. "AHHHH!" Terrified we cried as we  saw sharks come up from the water, their grey menacing fins circling our tiny rocking boat. Jimmy tried to grab the paddle but his sweaty hands were shaking too much. He was so scared that he could feel his heart pumping; thud, thud, thud.
