The Strange Encounter - Original Writing

Decent Essays
As she walked into the studio, Dylan fought with her urge to play with her hair, knowing the hairdressers who had spent hours styling her locks would moan again that she was ruining their work. Instead, she twisted the chunky golden bracelets that hung from her wrists, finding comfort in the repetitive motion.
James had been livid, in fact, she was sure he was going to hurt the man that had locked himself in her dressing room and although James pinned him against the wall, oddly, after a few minutes of spewing in his face with feral eyes, it was as though he’d been subdued into a trance, releasing the man who scarpered off without so much as looking back at Dylan. James hadn’t mentioned the strange encounter since.
Could she trust the stranger? She wanted to more than anything. She wanted to get away from her life, from James, but what if this was a trick set up to test her loyalty? Dylan shook her head as she pushed these thoughts from her mind. She was on the cusp of filming a live interview, she couldn’t annoy James any further than she already had. Determined to promote a good image of herself, her confidence was on the rise after the few glasses of neat rum she’d drank though she wished she’d had more.

    The assignment I made for my students is to pair up against each other to persuade their classmates of their viewpoint on the chosen subject. This is a valuable and worthwhile assignment because it encourages students to write about something they are passionate about and to put in the effort to persuade the class to see their point. Most students are very passionate about something, whether it is something simple like sports and cars or something with a large impact at a national or global level, such as global warming and abortion. This assignment gives them the ability to choose any topic they like. Since most students do not care too much for school work this is an important aspect of the assignment; if it is boring or they are uninterested in the subject their interest level in their work will go down significantly.…

His uniform was soaked and covered in food stains and he looked like he hadn’t exercised in a year.…
