You Know You're Right

the light felt like it was burning in my soul. "Journey, oh my God Journey. Thank God you answered. They just, I don 't know, grabbed me and – and," Axel rushed and I only got a few snippets. "Axel, calm down. Deep breaths, in and out," I said. I heard him take in and let go three very deep breaths before I spoke again, my voice gentle. "Now, where are you? What happened?" I asked softly. He took in a gulp air before he answered me, slower this time. "I 'm at the police station in Wilmington," he murmured. My eyes widened. "Axel, Wilmington? It 's an hour away from here; And a police station?" "Look," he cut me off, "I have a few seconds left to talk. They are letting me off with a warning this time, but I need you to come get me." "But...," I tried, but I heard the phone being passed on. Another voice flow through the speaker. "1157 Fairway Dr.," the smooth voice hissed out before the phone went dead on my end. I cursed to myself. What the hell just happened? Bailey watched me as I frantically moved around my room. I paid no matter to what I was wearing; I just threw my hair up into a messy bun, grabbed my brown oversized coat, and my boots that were laying lazily by the door, and my wallet with all of my cards that I had stashed away (just in case). I snuck up the stairs, careful not to step on one of the old creaky floorboards. I don 't want to wake mother and father and have them know about this; not just yet. I snaked my truck keys off of their hanger, and bolted…

Madame Moreau explains (in French), "Today is a new module and I want to you learn how to converse in French. I have been hearing a lot of English but starting now, if I hear any English being spoken you would have to sit by yourself." All the slackers of the class knew that sitting alone would mean that they would be mentored by the other above average students. Alyssia as always came late but today she knew her seat had changed and there was a bright orange seat in the center of the room. She…

enjoying some things in life. Having a budget has many positive aspects of keeping it. The first being, gives you control over your money. A common phrase is, budgeting gives you control over your money and not your money is controlling you. This means that with a budget you will get to decide what your short and long term goals are, and work towards those goals. You are in control and you aren’t going to stress that you are lacking funds. The second positive…

“Mom, calm down, I’m fine. I just had a few questions for the coach about doing basketball this year.” “You? You talked to the coach without asking us first?” Her eyebrow raised with question. “I said, I was thinking about it, and I obviously was going to tell you. They were just a few questions I had before actually signing up.” “Well, I guess you can, but you do realize that you are going to have to put effort into this, this isn't something that you can just expect to be the best at like…

but they could read lips as well. Then, he spoke to her. Look, I don’t know squat about this stuff, he said with a little smile. I don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong, and you could be for all I know. What I do know is that you’re my daughter and it’s my job to stand by you and believe in you no matter what, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. From what my potato brain can comprehend, not killing anyone sounds a lot better than doing so, he added finally, and then he gave a small…

but I’m gonna promise you complete transparency and truth. I will share to you all mt most hidden secret. It is now 2016, and these all started a few years ago when I got my wakeup call and I realized that I have to turn my life around or I was headed for complete disaster and destruction. Sadly, it has taken me 6 years really, honestly, and I’m not gonna say I’m finished. I have to work every day, but it took me 6 years to get where I’m at now. I feel like I have some happiness and restored…

they got into their positions, opened the hatch so the thirty-two minions could listen to what they might need to do, and waited for Katie, who tells them their missions. “Sorry to interrupt your Christmas morning tradition, but on the cameras in town square, it shows that the tree was bare and chopped down!” said Katie as the camera image popped up on the screen. “Oh no!” everyone shout, and the dogs howled sadly. “Everyone looks forward to getting their gift from under the tree! Are the gifts…

take a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm myself, even though I know it won’t work. We had just left our house, when it started. Many thought it was coming to destroy them, so everyone fled the city. Well, almost everyone. My family and a few of our friends didn’t leave. Instead, we went towards it. I still consider the machine as an it because it was half invisible. My twin…

into the C range and you need to raise it back up to a B so you can keep your B average. How are you going to do it? You’re going to ace the next paper that’s how! Well that’s the plan at least, but you’ve been sitting in front of a blank word document for the past hour and a half. Maybe you’ve opened a note book to “review the material”, or maybe you’re really ambitious and opened the text book. It doesn’t matter though, no matter what you do all you can think of is, “Why am I even in this…

Frankly I don’t know how to start this valedictorian speech, I spent countless of hours going through YouTube videos and google searches on how to make a valedictorian speech. It had to be inspiring, reflective, and relatable. While I can go on and talk about how we’re going to on to the next chapter in our lives and how wonderful this place is, I’m not, because it makes this speech just another valedictorian speech that most of you probably won’t remember or don’t even care about. Many see our…
