Write a story about a bad day

at school

The sun was rising in a pool of

crimson spilling light all over
the horizon when Gemma
opened her beautiful
glistening blue eyes. Her
window outlooked the river
winding through a patch of
towering palm trees, and the
chirping birds managed to add
flavour to the start of the
day. However, she didn’t know
that would turn to be the
worst day in her life. (hint)

This was just the beginning
