The bell gave a loud ring as a signal to go to lunch. I fiercely grab my lunch bag and angrily march into line. The rest of the class walked normally to the cafeteria, but I stomped my way there. I felt a pit of hate in my stomach, sitting there like a huge, red ball of fire. How could Mrs. Price act like everything was fine? I at least expected some form of apology from her, but I didn’t get as much as an “I’m sorry.” I had to stand as stiff as a soilder in that awful, ugly, hideous red sweater, and I get nothing in return!

With our advisors and the vice principal leaning towards canceling the event, my council had two choices: get eight more teams to sign up or call off the event.

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    When I was young, my sister and I never got along well. Neither of us were afraid to voice our thoughts, but we had opposite personalities, so that was an enormous complication. She would constantly whine whenever I practice the violin or piano that I was too loud and it was drowning out the music she was listening to. In return, I would always retort that her music was too loud and distracting. Well, I never actually called it “her music”: I referred to it as “garbage”.…

The past month had been a rapid mix of cheer practice, school, homework, and socializing with little time for sleep. Now thinking of how she wouldn't be able to sleep until after a long night of flips, spins, tosses, and cheering is over, she continued down the hallway towards the roar of students chattering at the lunch tables. Approaching the mass of petite girls wearing the required blue and gold uniform, Lauren was surprised by the dull throbbing that was developing directly above her right eyebrow. As she got closer the pressure had built so that by the time she finally arrived and sat between Nikki and Sammy, the dull throbbing had grown tremendously.…
