*** Ponyboy's P.O.V.*** The best thing about being in a gang like ours, is you get to know each other real well. Sometimes too well. Like what annoys each other. Since we we're so close we hardly ever fight with each other. Today was of those day however, where we didn't get along. I'm not sure how it started really. Things had been alright, then suddenly turned bad and got worse. It had been a normal Sunday for the gang. Connie had gone off to church like she does every Sunday…

our flip-flops and swimsuit cover ups just as a model would flaunt their newly designed garments on the runway. Often laughing and talking as the five of us made our way to the special boat. At last we reached our destination. A silver and navy blue 1980-something pontoon boat floating in the slip right smack in the middle of the second to last dock in the marina. The blue and grey freckled carpet looked cracked and hard from years of usage. The off-white and baby blue seats looked worn but…

Zombie Apocalypse Around 10 a.m. I woke up, stretched and brushed my teeth. I turned on my television, like my daily routine. Well, today was different. Every channel displayed, “Breaking News: ‘Evacuate your homes now and get to a safe location, a zombie apocalypse has started and is coming to an area near you’”. The first three things I decided I needed to do were a zombie apocalypse would be to gather my family who were uninfected, run out of town, and find someone creating an antidote. It…

My book I'm reading is called Fish in a Tree. It is written by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. The book is about a girl named Ally who has gone through to fourth grade without knowing how to read or write. She struggles to make friends because she is so different from everyone else. Ally may not read or write very well, but her new teacher Mr. Daniels notices that she does think outside the box more than any other student he has had in the past. After reading this book I learned that if you don't try to fix…

Karli started to get very nervous. The tornado was expected very soon. Leo and Karli drove to where the tornado is expected to start. On the way there it became very windy. But they had to keep driving. Leo and Karli started talking and then both of them heard whooshing winds. So they sped up the car and when they finally arrived they had no extra time because of the rain and wind. So Karli put on her shoes as fast as she could “Karli, it's time for you to save this town for the second time.”…

My heart was pounding so quickly I thought it was going to fly out of my chest. I’ve been waiting almost a month for this and it’s finally happening. I was at The Who concert. My mom told me to pick something fun to do as a graduation present and as soon as I saw the concert online I knew this was the one. Tickets were kind of difficult to get because it was so close to the concert, but they were some of the best seats I’ve ever had at a concert. We didn’t feel like finding a parking spot at…

Now that I finally had my Costa Rican money in hand, I was prepared to start the ten day adventure. Although I could not understand the energetic conversations all around me, I could tell that people were happy. It was such an infectious feeling. We pushed through the glass doors, the atmosphere from inside the airport, to just a few steps outside was so different. The Costa Rican sun kissed my pale-skinned cheeks, and the chatter of people could be heard. Natives were yelling out, “Pura Vida,”…

Anela Pritchard's speech: I'm a decently smart kid, with some decently good grades. But sometimes I believe that, with the essays, worksheets and endless amount of study assigned to me each day, that teachers secretly hate me, rather than actually wanting to help me do better. They most likely, if anything really, just do it for the pay check. I'm not saying all teachers do, but the majority of them appear to be that way. I always think about how I do believe school is important, however I…

My dad said “Alright, I told her you can’t do it this year,” after he hung up the phone on the band teacher. We had just wasted the whole day doing nothing, just lagging around my grandparents house in Ohio. Now I knew that I was going to be doing even more nothing. I felt as if I shouldn’t have been there at that moment. I felt like we should have been driving home as fast as we could, so we could be back before night and be prepared for the next day. An ongoing angst made me unable to…
