Three slices of pizza, two bottle of wine and a chic flick later we are on to the gossip portion of the evening. Abby is busy going on about this new receptionist at Dave’s office and how she is always dressing in short, short skirts and tiny tops and how no one seems to care. “Hello, dress codes are there for a reason people, they need to be enforced.” “Yeah I hear ya.” I agree “So did Flynn tell you about the girl he has been seeing?” She just had to wait until I was taking a sip of wine to…

3… 2… 1… I shoot my jumper and the buzzer goes off. The people in the stands all begin to chant at our victory, my team rushes me, gets a hold of me, and lifts me up into the air. “We did it!” I did it. Game MVP with 38 points, 6 assist, 10 rebounds, and now I got that full ride to the University of Kentucky that I’ve been working for. I look up and see Mama crying in her diner uniform, she made sure that when she finished her shift at the hospital that she called Walt’s Diner to tell Mr. Henry…

Waking up on a sunny bright morning, all I can think about is the special day it was going to be. I was still in bed, I looked over at my phone and see my phone light up, as I look it was my boyfriend Marco texting me. While reading his text saying “Good morning beautiful, happy one year anniversary” in that instant I felt butterflies in my stomach, my cheeks turning red like a tomato, and not resisting of smiling. It was the greatest feeling in the world, which I had spent one year with the…

We start are walk in silence but a question I have hangs in the air. I Decide to ask it, wondering what’s the worst that could happen. Nervous for his response I open in close my mouth a couple times, but eventually get the question out. “Why were you crying?” I ask. “Personal stuff,” he stiffens. I wonder if I went somewhere I should not have. “Secrets?” I ask. Wondering if I’m making the situation worse. “Yes,” he says.” “Well you won’t have to worry about it soon. The ceremony is in two…

Okay I was shocked, I knew she 's feisty but, damn! I didn 't see Bella in class, I know I told myself I would stop caring about what she does or do but I was worried. I mean, come on, she has been going on about how she can 't miss class or anything important for that matter. I decided to see if she went back to the dorm, instead I found a crowd of people in the hallway. I push myself pass, to see what was going on and there she was. Bella 's knuckles were connected to some chick jaw. I was…

The day I met Emmaline Kent will forever be engrained in my mind. If only I knew then what I know now things might be different. Maybe then I would have known not to fall for this seemingly vapid and spoiled girl. It’s funny to recall how much I hated her back then. Still, even without the knowledge that one day this girl would be my world I managed to memorize everything about that day. Flint had always been my home. I had never even step foot outside of it. I never wanted to either. I had…

Since kindergarden, I have always struggled. Behind in most classes, the only friend I still had was Brandon, the boy who once saved me. Acting as a parental figure, I looked up to him for everything, depending on him for any problems I had. In fact, he was the one who taught me to listen to everyone 's problems. However, on March 3rd, 1995, an event occurred that scarred me for life. As school finished, I got ready to go to the park like I always did. I was already in 2nd grade, and was…

My Life Soundtrack The first song I would have to choose is “ I’ve Been Watching You,” by Rodney Atkins. My favorite quote from this song would have to be, “He Said, I’ve been watching you dad, ain’t that cool. I’m your buck-a-roo, I wanna be just like you.” This quote has always gotten to me, especially from when I was very young. I have always wanted to be hardworking like my father, because I have always been proud of my father and I want him to be proud of me. The reason I have been proud…
