The Mug: A Short Story

Improved Essays
"The Mug." He replies in a monotone. Is he concentrating or annoyed with me? Probably both. And even with the awful mood I 'm in, I can 't help feeling a tiny cheer go on in my mind when he answered with that. At least we 're going there.

He pulls into the parking lot and parks near the door. I sit in my seat, still buckled, while Blake gets out of the car. I lean my elbow on the door, and rest my head in my hand and close my eyes.

"Yeah yeah bitch, you 're hilarious. But seriously, anything good? How 's the not-your-boyfriend boyfriend?" Blake drops one arm off the table anything he leans back in his chair.

I sip my coffee and respond in an annoyed tone. "He 's fine. He asked me to the senior camping trip, even though it 's like a month away. I met Camden 's sister Lauren who is becoming an amazing friend. You 'd love her."

"Oh yeah, what was that Camden said about making out in the driveway? I thought that was our spot?!" Blake jokes and I blush about him mentioning the making out.

"It was a good 1st date. Now. Would you please explain the rumor to me" I shrug and smile, but turn serious in an attempt to change the subject from Sam.

Blake sighs. "I heard Camden was talking about the prank you pulled last night, and how you came back in this morning. He told Elijah and Elijah took it the wrong way and told someone who told someone who told Kasey. And after

    I just got done with my shift to protect Camp Half-Blood feeling very tired and stressed. With the camp’s protection being down and most of the campers going back to their families for the summer, this meant that there were very few of us to guard our safe haven. Not to mention I was still recovering from my broken ankle. I decided to take a walk down to the beach near the camp. Lately, I’ve found the sound of crashing waves, wind brushing through my hair, and the slight smell of salt hitting my face very soothing ever since I had met my best friend, Percy Jackson.…

    I turn on the TV after I finish getting ready for school. I don’t have to leave for another 20 minutes, so I figure watching or listening to the news is a way to fill in that time. My eyes watch my fingertips dance across my phone and I hit send to my friend, Abigail, telling her I'm leaving shortly. I switch to Instagram liking every post I see as my eyes glance up to the tv for a brief moment and see that a well known kid from my school, Luke Hemmings, has been considered a “missing person” as of this moment. I listen more intently now as the news has grabbed my attention.…

    I really enjoyed watching this documentary in class. A few years ago I watched a documentary Oprah produced called Serving Life. The story followed prisoners inside Louisiana’s maximum-security prison Angola, where the average sentence is more than 90 years. In the prison they have a hospice program where inmates get to take care of other dying inmates. The movie is moving and shows the personalities and human side of the men serving their time.…
