Title The only thing I look forward to in my life at this moment is my vacation to Florida with my mom, dad, and older sister, Abi. It is a chance for me to get away from all the sadness, stress, and depression I have been dealing with. Personally I wish I could get away from this place and move to Florida. Maybe, just maybe I can find happiness.
Love. Can teenagers actually have this feeling for a significant other? I believe I did at one time. She was everything to me, I would’ve died for this girl and she would’ve done the same. Or so I thought, until she not only cheated on me and then she broke up with me. But she also told me that I ruined her life, and some other things I would rather not share. I began to believe this, perhaps

Today my sister was sick and did not want to do anything while my parents were tired from the night before. So I asked them if it was alright if I go swimming even though it was morning and they responded that it was alright as long as I would occasionally let them know that I was alright and my face wasn’t drying up. As I was in the elevator after changing into my swim trunks I was immediately filled with regret and anxiety. The fact that I was going alone scared me, for I worried about other people. This all stopped when I approached the pool and saw this girl. I was filled with happiness until she looked at me while I was staring at her. This then filled me with more anxiety. I then started to sweat because she started to approach me or so I thought, she was only going to the hot tub that was to the left of me. As she walked by she gave me a smile. This gave me some hope to talk to her. But maybe she was just being nice. I then sat down and started to contemplate if she wanted to talk to me. Through all of that I found the courage to do it. The fact that she was alone in the hot tub helped make my decision. I approached with a smile and said what most people would, …show more content…
They told me that I seemed so joyful they couldn’t say no. After that I took a shower. I then proceeded to change into the best clothes I had. Put on deodorant, more than usual and even shaved my so called “beard”. I headed down the elevator and walked to the bus stop to take me downtown. I worried about being late until I looked at the time and it was exactly 2:30 when I arrived downtown. I sat on the closest bench to the bus stop. I waited and waited and waited until she finally arrived at 3:00 sharp. She looked absolutely beautiful in her ripped Hollister jeans and a her Pacsun shirt. I took her to dinner first and from there we just had a blast. Going to different stores and going on various kinds of rides. I was not only happy again, I found a girl that was making me happy. Before any of this I never wanted to look at another girl again, never wanted to give another girl a chance, and I thought no girl would want to be with me anyways. But their she was, the most amazing girl ever.
She became tired so we rode the bus back to the hotel together. During the bus ride she fell asleep right on my shoulder. Some what confused on what I should do, I just let it happen. As we arrived I woke her up and walked her to her hotel room. I told her bye, but that was not enough for her. She gave me a hug and said “Bye.” Opened the door and walked in. I was left with just a smile on my

    My best friend was a girl who never shut her mouth. Ironically I was a selective mute and didn’t speak to her until a long six months of her talking to me about nothing went by. I remember mostly being able to drown her out with the silent tapping of my fingers against my thumb, but for some reason, when she said “Y’know?” with her mouth full of ham I snapped. It sounded so clear and rang in my head for a while, causing me to slam my hand down on the desk as I stood up.…

She radiated a sunny vibe; you would think she was always happy.

    The music blasted through the door, loud and clear, and I found myself surrounded by people dancing. The only difference was that their whole body was a neon color. They looked like dancing flames of all kinds of color, like blue, green, pink, yellow, orange even. I couldn’t make out their faces since it looked like paint had been poured all over their bodies, giving them a mannequin kind of look. They also had this flame like effect whenever they moved, or maybe I was just too dizzy to focus on what was infront of me.…

    Wearing a pair of light-grey sunglasses, a corpulent old woman with a hawk nose staggered onto the bus with a huge bag in her hand. My attention was caught instantaneously as the huge scar spreading from her right eye to her ear popped into my eyes. She stood near the door, scanning everyone on the bus in details with her rolling eyes under the sunglasses. I then noticed the eccentric combination of a white T-shirt outside of a white sweater with a pair of white slippers. Weird clothing, a huge bag, people would not normally do that, unless… unless they were homeless!…
