Moonlit Hobnobs at Rastrick High

Ollie Newburn and Tom Scott were not your ordinary students at Rastrick High School. They were explorers of the heart and adventurers of the imagination. Every lunchtime, they would sit on the bench under the grand old oak tree, sharing stories of dragons, knights, and distant lands.

One chilly evening, when the school grounds were bathed in silver moonlight, Ollie and Tom decided to meet at their favourite spot. The air was crisp, and the stars twinkled like a thousand tiny lanterns in the sky. Tom arrived first, clutching a bag of his favourite treat—hobnobs.

"I brought something special tonight," Tom said, his eyes sparkling like the moon above.

Ollie joined him, wrapping his scarf tighter around his neck. "Hobnobs! My favourite!" he exclaimed with a wide smile, taking one from the packet. They both munched on the delightful biscuits, the comforting taste warming them against the cool night.

They sat in a comfortable silence, the world around them fading into a soft hum. Ollie looked up at the moon, its glow casting magical shadows on the school grounds. "Isn't it beautiful?" he whispered. Tom nodded, his gaze fixed on the moonlit sky.

"Just like a story from one of our adventures," Tom replied, his voice barely louder than the rustling leaves.

As the night deepened, the two friends found themselves talking about everything and nothing all at once. From their favourite books to the mysteries of the universe, their conversation flowed as easily as the gentle breeze around them.

Eventually, the chill of the night reminded them it was time to head home. They stood up, brushing crumbs from their laps, and Ollie turned to Tom, a grin spreading across his face. "We should do this more often," he said.

Tom nodded, already planning their next moonlit adventure. "Definitely. But next time, I'll bring an extra packet of hobnobs."

And so, under the moonlit sky, surrounded by the whispers of the night, Ollie and Tom knew they had found something special. Not just in the hobnobs or the stories, but in the friendship that bound them together at Rastrick High.
