I’Ll Never Forget

By Elsa N. Kibowa

This is the story of two best friends, Joe and Leslie, who go on a school field trip. They get bored and get off at the first stop. They meet five biker boys named Calvin, Chuck, David, Randy, and Matt. Together, they all go on the trip of a lifetime, not caring who could stop them, just the wind in their hair and the sound of the roaring motorbikes. Here comes the trip of a lifetime.

Hi, I’m Elsa, the author of I’ll Never Forget and the soon-to-be author of many more stories to come. I am twelve years old and live in Mafikeng with my parents, brothers, and little sister. I’m in grade 6, and I’ve loved to write since my first-grade teacher taught me how to write. I love English, except for the nouns and verbs, and things to do with that. Thanks so much to everyone that has helped me in what I love to do best, from my friends to my teachers. When I grow up, I want to write stories, forever and ever. Hope to be writing more stories for everyone in the world to read.

‘Let’s go. Stop thinking, Leslie, you think too much, let’s just go.’ Joe held out his hand. Leslie looked at it for a long time, and with a deep breath, Leslie took her best friend’s hand, and with that, Joe walked with her over to where five guys with five motorbikes were, and with a confident tone, Joe said, ‘Where you heading?’

With that, the guy with blonde hair and a pierced lower lip turned to face Joe and said in a very funny British accent that made Leslie laugh, ‘Up north, a little too far for a little girl like you!’ which made all the other biker boys chuckle.

‘Well, I think we can handle it!’ Joe said, and Leslie laughed louder this time, then the blonde turned to Leslie and said, ‘What’s your name? I’m Calvin,’ and Leslie turned into total NYC thug girl mode. ‘Why do you want to know?’ she asked, looking like she wanted him to guess.

‘No reason, I like you. Tell you what, you look like you need some adventure. Hop on and you’ll have the time of your life!’ Calvin told Leslie. Then Joe and Leslie looked at each other. Don’t think, Leslie reminded herself, and with that, Joe and Leslie said at the same time, ‘Let’s go!’

Then Calvin shot a charming smile at Leslie. ‘Well, I’d need your names maybe?’ he said.

‘Joe and Leslie,’ Joe said, using her hands to explain, and with that, Leslie got onto Calvin’s bike and Joe got onto the other guy’s bike with the red and blue patterns on it.

‘Joe, meet David.
