Creative Writing MATRIX Task (English)

(WARNING)

This is only Part 1 of the story UwU



In a dark room sat a child as a metal door opened and in walked into the room was a young man to be the age of only 17, his hair was a pure white with the most vibrant yellow eyes ever, but those yellow eyes would forever haunt the soul of this child.
For so many things have been done to this child to damage him to the point of breaking.
This Child used to have the purest looking brown hair but now it sticks to his dirty skin as dried blood remains intact with it along with all the damage inflicted on him.

“Subject S4” The young man said as the child had looked up slowly at the grinning man, The child shakily got up as he walked out the door of his cell before walking into another room with a metal table and table with tools on a tray, The boy sat on the table like he knew exactly what to do… and he did, he knew everything about this place. What to do and what not to do. He knew if he disobeyed he would end up like the last kid, who died of starvation from disobeying a rule.

Plus he was important to these people. But that's what they told him, They said that he was special because he could wield a weapon that not many could. He didn’t understand what was so special about it, And they wouldn’t tell him why it was special either or why he was special, They said that he would know in due time… But that time… It never came, he still doesn’t understand anything about this big key which was his supposed weapon.

The boy laid on the table as he was strapped to it…”We’ll be injecting you with this new serum that was given to us, we don’t know the end results but we hope for the best” The man said as he looked at the child before injecting into his weak body.
Since this was a new Serum he should have felt pain like all the others… But nothing came, he waited a minute before he felt a stabbing pain that hit him like a thousand needles, it felt like his insides were being torn apart like someone had ripped open his stomach and pulled them out piece by piece and to make it worse it was slow and painful.

Throughout that day the only thing that was heard was the screams and cries of a poor helpless child who never had a childhood or a family to call his own. But a life that only gave him pain and immense agony. This never-ending pain never stopped day and night, and sometimes he wished that someone would save him… But no one came because no one outside of the building knew he existed, He was taken to this cruel place right after he was born. This hellhole was his home it was the place he would be raised and the place he would be hurt.

And just because of a simple weapon that was different from all the others.

-10 years later-

“W-WAIT UP AQUA” Screamed a boy with spiky blond hair with eyes that looked like the sky and ocean combined together, up ahead this boy was a tall woman who was proclaimed to be named Aqua she was tall and had short blue hair with blue eyes also. They may have blue eyes but these two were not related, more of like she was a mother figure or a sister figure to this boy “HURRY UP VEN, YEN SID NEEDS US IN HIS OFFICE NOW” Screamed the women as she ran up a huge flight of never-ending stairs “IT’S NOT MY FAULT THERE ARE SO MANY DOORS AND STAIRS” The boy yelled with a heaving pant.

“IF YOU HADN’T GONE TO SLEEP AT 12:00 IN THE MORNING AND WENT TO SLEEP AT 8 THEN THIS WOULDN’T OF HAPPENED” Aqua had yelled up from ahead as she was on the last layer of stairs before stopping to a familiar door. A second later came the panting boy as Aqua opened the door and walked in along with Ventus behind her as he shut the door before facing a desk that an old man with a long beard sat at.

“Your late,” He said in a calm voice “I know I’m sorry Master Yen Sid, Ventus woke up late” Aqua replied as he ruffled Ventus’s hair The old man sighed as he gave a nod.
“Next time come here on time please” The old man said as the two nodded “Now straight to the point, I have a task for you two to carry out, and you’ll bring Roxas along with you” Yen Sid said as the two gave a slow nod “I got a message from Mickey saying about Org XIII” Yen Sid said as the two instantly looked up from the ground to look at the Master “What about them?” Aqua asked “Apparently a couple of days ago Mickey had found a facility owned by Xehanort's clones and heartless which did experiments on children and teenagers “ Experiments… I knew he was crazy to form the X-Blade to rewrite the whole world's History and start everything from scratch but experimenting on children is going way too far” Aqua said as Ventus gave a sad nod “We’ll help” Ventus said as Yen Sid looked at them “I knew you would… Now off you go and grab Roxas before you leave” Yen Sid said shooing them off “He should have the coordinates for this facility” Yen sid said calmly as the two gave a nod before leaving.

-In the kitchen-

“Your here” Replied a boy who looked exactly the same as Ventus. Now the thing is, these two are not the same person nor are they related by blood or even related at all, to begin with.

“Well let's go we can’t keep sitting around here well those ageing clones of Xehanort torture children,” Roxas said in a grim voice before getting up and leaving the building with Aqua and Ventus behind him.

-In front of the facility-

“Well I can see why most people who were looking for it couldn’t find it” Roxas said as he looked at the building “It looks like a normal 2 story building...nothing out of the original from the outside, but on the inside I can bet its a nightmare” Roxas said as he summoned his 2 keyblades, “Well let's get going, lets rescue some kids” 

As soon as the three found a way inside the facility they stayed behind walls that had no cameras to single their arrival, As they got closers they came towards a metal door behind it you could hear children softly talking “This is it” Aqua murmured to the two as they nodded, Roxas pick locked the door as it opened and the three raced in and began opening the cell doors for the children.

Aqua had led them outside to a safe place while Roxas and Ventus opened the cell doors “All done” Ventus said with a sigh as he turned to face Roxas “You coming Roxas?” Ventus asked “Something doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t feel like it all of them… Like there is one more child… But it's hidden from the rest of the children” Roxas said as he held a hand over his heart “My heart is telling me there is” He said as he looked a Ventus “Well let's have a deeper look” Ventus said as they continued their search going through many halls and doors.

As Ventus and Roxas were walking down the halls Ventus grabbed by the arm and Stuck his hand over his mouth as they hid behind a wall “Shhh” Ventus whispered as they heard two footsteps “How’s subject S4 coming along” A voice said “Good, everything with the new serum went according to plan” Another voice said as the footsteps got closer “Good, I expect him to be ready soon” The first voice said as the footsteps grew distant meaning that they obviously walked down the nearest hall to them.

“See” See Roxas as Ventus nodded at him, “They came from this way, if they came from this way then the kid might also be this way,” Ventus said as Roxas dragged along behind him.

-minutes of twists and turns-

“Last door” Said Ventus as he turned the knob “Its unlocked” Ventus said as he slowly opened the door to see a table with a tray full of tools and then a table which held a contained teenager strapped to the table, “H-He looks horrible” Ventus said in shock as Roxas walked up to the kid “He’s unconscious” Roxas said softly as he began to unstrap the teenager, after unstrapping the teen Roxas picked him up slowly “He’s light…” Roxas mumbled “Very light, He shouldn’t be this light,” Roxas said with a hint of worry behind the words “We can see what's wrong with him once we get back to the tower. Right now we need to get back to Aqua so Vanitas can teleport us back since I can feel him near” Ventus said as Roxas nodded as the two began their journey to the outside of the facility.

-Outside-

“Took you long enough” A grim voice said as Ventus sighed “Sorry Vanitas we had to save their special subject that was hidden away from the rest of the kids” Ventus said as Aqua and Vanitas looked past Ventus to look at the boy in Roxas's arms “He was strapped to a table when we found him” Roxas said as Aqua gave a sad look.

“We heard two voices, they were talking about a new serum… But we don’t know what it does” Ventus said as Aqua gave a short stare at the boy “Well let's get going,” Vanitas said as he opened a portal back to the tower.

-Tower-

“WE'RE BACK” Vanitas yelled “Vanitas you don’t need to yell, “Ventus said in a yelling whisper voice “Well where’s the fun in that” Vanitas said as he walked away before stopping “Oh… and tell me what happens to the kid after he wakes up” Vanitas said before walking out of the room to go somewhere else “Didn’t think Vanitas cared” Roxas said as he walked to the infirmary.

-Yen Sid office-

“Your Back” Yen Sid said as he looked at Ventus and Aqua “Where’s Roxas?” Yen Sid asked “Thats the thing… We happen to come across someone who was separated from the other kids, we also heard some staff talking about a new serum, the kid sounded special… When we found him, we found him strapped to a metal table. He looked horrible so Roxas had brought him here, he’s in the infirmary right now” Ventus said in a sad but low voice.

“This boy what does he look like?” Yen Sid asked “Well he kinda looks like Vanitas but he has brown hair… But it's covered with dirt and blood, he’s also covered in scars and bruises, it doesn’t even look like he's ever had a shower his entire life” Aqua said as she gave a sad sigh.

“He’s not conscious now so he’s no harm if that's what you're wondering Master,” Ventus said as Yen Sid nodded.

“I’ll take a look into this child and see if I can find any files on him” Yen Sid said as Ventus and Aqua nodded “Now off you go” Yen Sid said to the two keybladers as they gave a nod before leaving him alone in his office to overthink the report he was given.

-Infirmary-

Roxas sat quietly next to the boy as he held his hand over his hear… Why does this boy feel so familiar to me, why does it hurt me knowing he’s looking like this. Do I know him, If I do… Where do I know him from? I want to know as Roxas thought to himself he was interrupted by a loud creaking door, Roxas turned his head towards the door to see Aqua and Ventus walk-in “How is he” Ventus asked “Still asleep” Roxas said as he looked at the sleeping Teen “When do you think he’ll wake up “Roxas said trying not to sound worried but was betrayed by his own voice “I think either tomorrow or in 5 or 4 hours” Aqua said as she gave a small smile to Roxas “Don’t Worry Roxas he’ll Wake up. Now if you excuse me I need to go wake up Terra” Aqua said as she gave a nod to the two before leaving.

“How are you feeling?” Ventus asked as he looked at Roxas before looking at the unknown teen “I don’t know, When I look at him my heart begins to hurt… he seems so familiar but I’ve never seen him in my entire life or I’m pretty sure I haven't, he just seems so familiar that it hurts me seeing him like this” Roxas said as he looked towards Ventus.

“Who is he to me Ventus,” Roxas said as he gave a worried look
“I-I Don’t know Roxas”

Maori Trade (Social studies)

In Social studies, we started learning about Maori and what it was like before the Europeans came (I wasn't there that week when we did learn it though...)
After we (Or my class) had learned how the Maori lived and how they traded before the Europeans came we were given a choice of 3 tasks that we could complete.
Mine was to make a mind mup of what the Maori traded before the Europeans and after.

Dear Writers block

Chicken stir fry (Food)

Last week in Food we made Chicken stir fry but since I wasn't here that day I never got to try it, so I'm going to be putting down what other people of my team thought.

I asked if it tasted good I got a response from one of my teammates as were set into groups and she said she liked it as it had a different sort of taste.
I then asked how Teamwork was my reply, yes the teamwork was good, meaning that I'm guessing everyone had a go, as in the kitchen we only had limited time to make the food and then eat it.

So hopefully this week I'll be at school so I'll be able to give a better response and with my own thoughts of the food and what I liked about it.

And out of all of this, I hope I can get more done than last week so then next week I'll be back on track and up to date with my work.

Learner Matrix (English)


(A green box with a yellow outer ring means I can do it but I'm still unsure)

Goals
-Ask for more feedback (I find it hard to sometimes ask for help or watch stuff that I made and has feedback directed towards me as I find it nerve-racking to know about to feedback)

-Do the work I don't really finish after school ( I do, do this but sometimes I'm up till 10 or 11:00 at night finishing work for the next day, but other times I'll just finish them at home, meaning work comes before games. I feel that this would help me bring down the time of how long I'm staying up during school nights if I get my work done somewhere during morning tea, lunch or after school)

-I find it easy to tell people on how I like to work, Most times if its in a big area with lots of people, I find it easier when I have the noise blocked out with some nice calming music, or if the volume isn't loud, and sometimes I find it better just to work alone as I don't get distracted by that person sitting next to me.

Vegetarian Nachos (Food)

Since its, a new semester that means new choices to do for options and one of them happens to be food. We have this thing where on Wednesday we would do Chromebook work and then Thursday we would do the actual cooking. And last week we made Vegetarian Nachos

-What did I think of our teamwork-

The teamwork for making this product was okay. In our making of the food, I did the dishes and the stirring of the food while it cooked
In all everyone pretty much had something to do, and there was always someone doing something for the food
The communication was okay, there wasn't much talking but we still had to talk to each other to find things that we had no idea about or to transfer to something else (E.g one person was stirring and then they went to get a seasoning so someone took over the stirring of the food)

After all of that, the outcome of the food looked delicious. Especially the way it was laid out on the plate.
After we had finished plating our food we had a couple of visitors (Teachers) come in and try our food and then rank them from 1st to last and give us their personal opinion. 

I felt pretty proud of myself when our team got 1st place more than once (Another team got a 1st place by a teacher) I felt proud because of all the hard work our team had done to make the food.

my personal opinion on the food is something I can't say as I never ate it due to a strong gag reflex to some foods. but I would have loved to have eaten it as it looked yummy.

Maori art (Social studies)

What have you learnt about
In Social studies, we started looking at the Maori art, and how they did tattoos
Back then when men got their tattoos done it was forbidden for them to cry or wince as it showed a sign of weakness.
After we watched a video of a guy getting a tattoo we were then given a piece of paper with a face on it so we could draw our own Maori tattoos

Your design 
(Mine)





















What your design means to you
The chin of a Maori design normally means Mana, To me it feels like the Mana is of high status therefore untouchable
For the Jaw it means Birth Status. To me, the design feels like a balance between two status altogether. E.g Royal and Commoner together.

30 Sec Film (English)

30 Sec Film Reflection Questions.
-----------------------
Retell the story of making your film
First, we had to do our film board on what we were going to do, we had to draw the storyboard out and then stick the film shots of what we were going to do for the filming, like long-range or short-range, then we had to add underneath what the person would be doing. Then after we got our storyboard done we had to get permission so we could go to the library and film. Once that was achieved we started our filming the next day. When we first started we did all our shots in just one whole thing which was pretty difficult, and as 2 weeks went by we still hadn't gotten anything done, so on the last week we had done all shots in separate meaning nothing was just a full shot, every shot was 5 or 6 seconds.
After we had got the filming done it was editing time and it also meant that we had finished our 30-second film,
(Storyboard)

(Below is our final product)

Things I enjoyed about this project
While doing the project the things I enjoyed most about this project. Was working with other people I would probably not work with in the first place or even decide to work with.

Things I learned during this project
What I learned during this project was that sometimes it's better to push people a little bit to get the work done. cause without it none of this would be done and we would be on the last string of the period to finish our film.

Things that challenged me during this project
Shots, shots, in general, were a big pain for me as I had done the filming, it was kinda hard to get a  high shot as I'm not that high and if I went to high then I would have not been able to capture the two actors for my shot. Meaning that the shot would of have to be done again. But in the end, I had managed to get the shot done.

If I did this again, what would I do differently
If I had done this project again the one thing I wish I could do differently was doing the shots separate from the start and not in full shot, meaning if I did it separate from the start, I would've had more time for editing and other stuff that I had to do with the team I was in.

Designing a game (Math)

In Math we were given a task to design a game now you may be wondering (Probably not) how this happened but, it started when we had no idea about mathematical words so we were given a task to make a doc and find as many words that could go for subtracting, Adding, Timesing and Dividing, so we set off into a group and did that task, once we did that we were then told to make a word cloud and stick all our words in it.

(Here are our word clouds and our Math words we used for the word cloud)


After we did the word clouds we were then told to think of a game that we could use to make a math game, we were still in the same groups for the word clouds so nothing changed but our task, so we set off and made a list of games we could do to make a math game for people
But first, we had to do a design process and then make the game, The game we had picked from our design process was Pick-A-Path. It was oddly fun to make.

(Our game and design process)


After we had finished our game we then had to make a small video on how to play the game, and what the game was for
here is our final result.
