Story Time Animated

I was trying not to let my history teacher, Mr Wilson, see how bored I was as he droned on and on about World War 1. As soon as the bell went I pushed back my chair and was out of that classroom in a flash. I couldn’t wait to get home. The minute I walked through my front door I shouted out to my Mom, “Mom, I’m home! Come and help me get out of this thing!” My Mom came through from the kitchen whe...

I remember the first time I saw her as though it was yesterday. It was a Saturday afternoon and I was skating at our local ice-rink, as I did every Saturday. My passion was ice-skating, I had been skating since I was five years old and I loved it. As I zipped around performing twists and turns like a pro I suddenly noticed a girl stepping onto the ice. I stopped at the side and watched her as she...

I inched towards the opening of the cave and cautiously peeked out. As footsteps and voices approached, I held my breath as I pressed myself into the dampness of the cave. “I think she ran into this one,” He stood at the entrance of the cave and peered into its shadows. “Hey, there he goes!” Another voice shouted, a little way off. As the footsteps ran away from the cave, I sank to the cave floor...

Hey there! My name is Kyleigh and when I was fifteen years old, my life totally transformed. I was a really happy kid. I loved roller skating and anything to do with fashion. It was my deepest wish to someday become a fashion designer. I bought tons of magazines and cut out pictures of designer clothes to stick all over my room. I had to stick pictures of clothes on the walls because I’d never be...

It was the end of the first day back at school after the long summer holidays and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. The holidays had been so much fun, we had spent most of the time at the beach and it was all I could think about. As I walked home my mind was full of wonderful memories. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a homeless family on the other side of the street. I was about t...

As I crossed off the day on my calendar I couldn't believe it was already six months since I'd been in the witness protection programme. I was given a new look and a new name but I wasn't allowed to live on my own yet. I didn't have access to a television, phone or any device that I could interact with the outside world through. I must admit though that it was nice being this close to Ryan again a...

"I didn't know I had a sister." "Well you do, she was away at school." My brother walked up to me, "Hi, my name is Tyler, what's yours?" "My name is Cassidy." "That's a very pretty name. Thank you for the gift." He threw his arms around my waist and I hugged him back as I struggled to hold back my tears. Hi there! My name is Cassidy. For many years my parents tried having children but were unsucce...

Rebecca and I stood there looking at each other, “Mmm, move back to Golivia? My real parents? What about my parents back home?” I was still processing the fact that I was a princess and I was about to respond to Rebecca when suddenly another loud boom sounded and everything went black. I blinked my eyes, “What just happened? I must have passed out for a few seconds.” I looked up and was shocked to...

Hey there! Thanks for clicking on my story! I promise to make this an interesting one. Now I know you’ve read the title and you’re probably thinking that there was some mean girl at high school picking on me and making my life miserable. Promise not to laugh when I tell you who my real bully was. Promise? Okay. It was my little sister Melanie. She was twelve years old and I swear she was like the...

“Mom! Come and see this!” Mom came bustling from inside the house to the back yard. “Aren’t they pretty? Look, they’re eating from the birdhouse that I made,” my eyes sparkled. “You’re such a thoughtful girl, honey. Those birds are so lucky.” I beamed at Mom who smiled at me before heading back inside. I inched my way towards one of the birds and held it. I went to one of the bushes in the back ya...

“Robby, look over there!” “Not falling for that one again Allen!” “Oh come on!” I removed my super soaker water gun from where I was hiding it under water and pressed the trigger until my brother was completely soaked. “Boys! Stop that right now! Come have a snack. You’ve played in the water enough.” Robby and I were twins - extraordinary ones… but we didn’t know that yet. We looked a bit differen...

I reached over and switched off my alarm. I couldn’t believe it was morning already, it felt like I’d only been asleep for about an hour. All I wanted to do was curl up and go back to sleep, but it was a school day, so there was no chance of me having a lie in. I pushed the bedcovers off me and got out of bed, it was my own fault I was feeling so tired, I had stayed up late playing computer games...

The wooden stairs creaked as Miranda and I walked down to the basement. “I can’t wait for you to see what Grandma and I do for fun,” Miranda looked at me, her eyes twinkling. “Are you going to give me a hint?” I smiled at her. She took my hand and squeezed it gently, “Well, we capture exquisite rare things.” When we reached the bottom of the basement Miranda stopped. She stroked the side of my fac...

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a celebrity’s kid? You might think it’s so glamorous and fun but you’re wrong. I’m about to explain how it isn’t all that. See, both my mom and my dad are famous movie stars. My dad is also in the music industry so that’s double the fame. By the way, I’ve changed my name and the name of everyone involved because I can’t just reveal my family secrets with...

“Mommy look! A dolphin!” “Aww wow darling! Isn’t it beautiful?” “Yes mommy!” It was a perfect day and I was having a blast! I watched the dolphins splash in the ocean and I felt extremely happy. I was only a kid – I think I was six years old. But I remember that day like it was yesterday. My mom, dad and older brother had decided to go sailing that morning. We lived near the sea and it’s something...

Laura and I were sitting in the canteen enjoying our lunch. It was my favourite time of the day. Laura and I had been best friends since we were five years old and we told each other everything. Suddenly I became aware of someone standing behind me. When I turned and saw who it was I groaned. “I’ve got something for you.” “What?” She didn’t answer me, instead she just tipped the bucket of fish chu...

So I know you’ve probably heard about these weird underground bunker stories on documentaries and even Netflix. Maybe you think they’re made up because they’re just too insane to be true. Well, I’m here to assure you that they are one hundred percent true and I did not know that other humans existed until I was eighteen. Well, that’s apart from my grandparents. “Francis, sit down and let me tell y...

I wasn’t always rich, powerful and popular. Once upon a time my family was broke. When I say broke, I mean really, really broke. I had duct tape on my shoes and my ripped jeans weren’t cool like every other kids, because mine were ripped from only wearing that one pair. Teachers thought I was a bad student, because we rarely had power so I couldn’t do my homework. I don’t remember exactly when tha...

“Hey, Boss. Do you have some hot Cheetos in the back?” “Hot Cheetos? You got it. Well, you’re lucky, this was the last one.” Another student came running from the class. “Boss, Boss,” he was panting. “I have an assignment submission deadline in an hour, I need help.” “An hour? That’s a very short time but it’s doable. I’ll have to charge you triple more than regular.” “Triple, that’s a lot?” “It’s...

“Where did you get this cute little thing?” Makeda asked as she flipped through the blank pages of a red journal with black leather trimmings. “Oh, I got it at Grandma’s reading of her will.”  Makeda raised an eyebrow at me, “And what did Terrence get?” Terrence was my older brother and the only other friend I had besides Makeda. “He got Grandma’s coin collection.” “Girl, your Grandma did you...

“Mom! You can’t be serious! Do you really expect me to come out of this car in the same thing that I wore yesterday?” I folded my arms and sulked. Clarissa, my step-sister, smirked next to me. I shot her a fiery look.  “This is the consequences of your actions, Zahra. Next time you will think twice before teasing someone in school about the clothes they are wearing. Thank goodness Clarissa st...

I grabbed the beaker and gulped down the liquid as Eli looked on with an excited grin on his face. After drinking all the liquid, I gazed at Eli, then began to cough and gag as I gasped for air.  “It’s working, it’s working,” Eli squealed like a two year old as he pointed to my hand that held the beaker. That day changed my life forever!  Hi, my name is Michael. As we were heading out of...

"Professor McGuire said that if I ace his last test I would be at the top of the class for this semester," Derrick, my older brother, mentioned before shovelling food into his mouth. I looked over at my brother with a critical eye. His left eye always had a slight twitch whenever he was lying. I wondered what he was hiding from Mom and Dad. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. "Keisha, are you e...

I put on my school uniform and glanced at myself in the mirror, even though I knew it wasn’t a pretty sight, well actually that’s a bit of an understatement. I am actually truly ugly. When I got to school the girls all crowded around me, “Hi, Ethan, how’s it going?” “Hey Ethan, are we still going out this week.” “Ethan, don’t forget you promised me a date at the weekend.” Wonder how I still manage...
