Sebastien

Today at school, it was before we let off the balloons, the CTV cameras and the One News cameras were at our school. The CTV reporter came up to me and asked me what I wrote on my card, and where I was in the February earthquake. She then asked me what was the worst thing that happened by an earthquake. On my card it was talking about the people who died, and the families of the people who died, and the people who are alive. I todl her that I was tuning ukaleles - and she laughed a little bit. I said I wasn't scared but the drums fell down on the desk, and a pole feel in front of the door and we were stuck.
I remember that Alexander, Cheing, Caleb, Woenee and Bennett were with me, and Bennett and I forced the door open. We went into a classroom and they told us to go outside, but a Duty Teacher told us to go inside, and then Mr Russell asked us why we were inside and said we had to go outside, but then that Duty Teacher again told us why were we outside, and we told her about Mr Russell so we stayed outside. Lucy was in the Year 2 line, talking like everyone else. Like, half of the school was crying. I was allowed to go and see Lucy and told her "all would be okay and on the bright side we would get to miss out on our tests" and then I had to go back to my line. Megane was on the bus, but when she got to school she got annoyed at me because all the boys were making jokes because of the earthquake so her and the other prefects got annoyed at us. Megane wasn't crying. Oogah (my Dad) came and said "do you want to go to my house?" and I said yes. We saw him and gave him a hug, and we went with him.
I told the lady that the worst thing wasn't in that earthquake, it was on the 23rd of December one when I was about half a metre away from dying on the rock cliff. She if I was one of the Lallemant's that got rescued and I said yes. She said "tell your mother that you guys are strong."
We got to listen to the bells. They rung the big big big one, that was about 2m, 185 times for everyone who died. Mike Gravestone had to ring it. He's my hockey coach. And there were a lot of flowers around the school on the seats.
That's all I want to say.
