RIDE OR DIE
By Florence Espeut-Nickless
The Kids spend the whole year arguing about whether Alton Towers is actually better than Thorpe Park. At the moment Alton Towers has got 2 votes and Thorpe Park has got 2 votes. The deciding vote goes to the youngest, Angel who hasn’t actually been to any of them yet, cause she’s in year 7 and you don’t get to go on The Theme Park Extravaganza until the end of Year 7.
But that’s literally in like 2 weeks, so it’ll be settled once and for all, very very soon! So what could possibly go wrong?....
Angel getting suspended from school, Nan going off on a surprise holiday, Dad coming round to look after them (and he's useless) and lasts one night, and The Kids borrowing Nan's car and colliding with a Waitrose delivery van.
The whole affair is literally a car crash.
