My name is Ashleigh Baxter. I used my Tellus to write my story. Sarah and Katie from school helped me. I enjoyed writing my story.

The Big Fight by Ashleigh Baxter

 

My name is Ashleigh Baxter. I am twenty-three years old. I love the amazing singer Shayne Ward. He sings romantic songs and is gorgeous. I am a Manchester United Supporter. I use a Tellus, a communication book and my voice to talk to people. I live with my Mum and Dad in Eltham in London. My parents like to listen to me talk about Shayne Ward. I use my Shayne Ward page on my Tellus to talk about him a lot.

Georgina is my best friend. I’ve known Georgina since I was eight years old. I met her on a farm. Georgina is beautiful, but very dangerous!

Georgina and I are on our way to have dinner at an Indian restaurant. We are walking past a florist when we see Shayne Ward inside. We play his music on my Tellus and dance around. Shayne sees me and says: ‘hello.’

‘Hey, Sweetheart,’ I reply, using my Tellus. ‘How you doing?’

                ‘I’m fine,’ he replies.

                Georgina turns to me. ‘Go away!’ she says. She wants Shayne Ward all to herself!

                ‘No, you go away Georgina!’ I reply, on my Tellus. I think Georgina is being boring.

                I throw a bunch of red roses at Georgina. She gets hurt on her face and hands. Her heart is also hurt because she doesn’t want me to steal Shayne Ward. She is really angry and shouts ‘buzz off!’ at me.

                Shayne begins to sing If That’s OK With You. It’s my favourite song, but not Georgina’s. Her favourite song is Breathless. Georgina and I both join in singing though. I use my Tellus to sing because I have all of Shayne Ward’s songs on it.

I’m angry with Georgina and never speak to her again. I don’t know why. Shayne tells me I’ve got gorgeous hair. My hair is blond and short.

                ‘You have a nice smile,’ I reply. ‘I love you.’

                Shayne and I decide to go to the Indian restaurant that Georgina and I were going to go to. Georgina is even angrier than she was before! She goes to the funfair to cheer herself up.

                At the Indian restaurant I order food for Shayne and I using my Tellus. We both have curry. Afterwards we go home and watch High School Musical.

‘I love you,’ Shayne says.

                ‘I love you too,’ I tell Shayne.

                Shayne gives me a big kiss. It makes me feel really happy.
