Destinee Debates-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Destinee’s mother pulled up and we stared at each other, we knew the police would follow quickly. What if they knew we were lying? We didn’t mean for it to go that far, but at that point we were locked in. Destinee pulled me aside with one final thing to say. “Lizzy, I don’t care how hard she presses you. If she finds out that we did this we are dead. You need to die with this lie. You can do it. Stay strong and whatever you do, don’t break.” I gave her a paralyzed look and she turned me around to drag me with her down the driveway. I couldn’t believe what we were about to do.

I couldn’t tell you what we were talking about, but I remember her stopping her thought mid sentence. “Oh my god.” she said, as she looked out the window. “What?” I asked with curiosity. She stood up on the couch and pressed her face on the glass. “Lizzy it’s gone. Oh shit, oh shit it’s gone.” She looked over at me with wide eyes and I started to feel uneasy. I had no idea what she was talking about.
“Destinee, WHAT is gone?” I yelled. “My basketball hoop! I’m supposed to be able to see it from this window and I can’t see it. It’s gone. Someone stole my basketball hoop.” She replied
I didn’t believe her for a second so I walked over to the window. Sure enough, there was not a basketball hoop in sight. From the angle of the window I could see only the bottom of the driveway. I didn’t know where the basketball hoop would have been, but I knew that it wasn’t in sight. Destinee started to panic. “I have to call my mom” she said, “she’s going to be so

Cold air blew through their skinny, lifeless branches, tossing the trees around as though they were mere sticks rather than giants.

Within this wintry prison there was no joy, there was no warmth, and, above all, there was no diversity.…
