A family was ordering for food …show more content…
This time, another girl, who appeared to be the original girl’s friend, appeared. Now there were two girls and four guys. In addition, there were two older individuals: a male and a female. Next to me, a female teenager with acne was sitting next to an older lady. Although the teenager was not on her phone, she was mostly silent. On the corner of the food court sat a group of three male teenagers. One was wearing a red hat, a red shirt, and a gray sweatshirt; the other one wore a black shirt with jeans; and the last one wore a blue sweatshirt. Mainly, there would be a conversation where two contributed, and one would be on his phone or eat his food. For instance, the red shirt teenager remained silent while the blue sweatshirt individual spoke to the black shirt teenager, and occasionally, the blue sweatshirt individual remained taciturn while the red shirt individual spoke to the black shirt teenager. All three were not simultaneously contributing to the conversation. Furthermore, they would often laugh. Sporadically, there would be individual teenagers walking alone, looking around.

At the Cross County mall, we stopped at bus 25 and examined four women and three males, two of which had headphones in and taking pictures of the herbs. Once we got to a pretzel store, Auntie Annie’s, there was an elongated line in which we had to wait in since we were famished after not eating in school.

    The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge.

She’s never hard to find, because her hair is light blonde, and she’s always wearing really flashy outfits.…

    It’s the calm of the morning, and I’m tired. The smooth and curving edges of the trail entertain my eyes as I hike towards my goal, the summit of Mt. Hyndman. It’s a kind trail, made of a cluster of aromas and a collage of colors. Sagebrush and young saplings add to the sensation of the vista. Sharp crackles occur beneath my feet as insects scamper around, frantically searching for minute fissures to conceal themselves in.…
