Growing up was not the funniest time for me, I hated elementary school and most of high school. I went to a very small school so my options of friends was very limited. I hung out with the “cool kids” I’d guess you would say. In the movies everyone wants to be a part of the cool kids, but it was not that great. In elementary, kids would make fun of me, they would call me stupid, would tell me I was not good at anything. As a child that could really affect someone’s confidence level. It started…

smiled. “Aww,” I said to myself, falling onto my mattress, “what a nice thought.” I picked up the carefully wrapped box, and gently pulled the bow. The paper fell away, and the object inside caused me to choke on my breath. All that was inside was a single metal rose. A metal rose, attached to a note. I unfolded the paper with quivering hands. Dear Skye, I would like to inform you that I am not dead. Despite the lack of faith the doctors had in me, I survived on my own. As for your brother,…

I’ve heard it said that you can’t have a great story without a great beginning. Apparently, it’s impossible to have a decent story marked by ordinary things. Whoever said that has obviously never lived life, because all the best stories of my life have started with the terrifyingly mundane. This particular one begins with a skateboard. It’s funny isn’t it; how the turning points in our lives can be marked by something so mundane. Turning points should begin with rockets, or with fireworks, or…

Twice this year I near froze to death. Both times Alice Mayweather kept me warm. The first time I locked myself out of my house, frost creeping on the windows, I called Alice over, she was always good with these things. Ever since we were kids she had always been saving me from the trouble I got myself into. I sat shivering on my steps, watching the snow pile up on the ground at least two feet high. Comfortable silence floated around me as the sun set with pink sky as it’s backdrop. A few…

I gripped my lacrosse stick like a blanket on a cold winter night, scared down to my bones about what I was about to do. I peeked the back door open to see if anyone was watching, but I knew that no one would be up at this time of night. I grabbed my backpack from the table and quickly ran out the door toward the woods not sure what was lurking in its darkness. I ran through the trees as briskly as I could, nimble on my feet. I knew no one could catch me now, no one knows what I’ve done. I was…

There are many important things in people’s lives that need to be improved and taking care off to be successful, and to achieve the goals that they are willing for. According to President Obama, there are three main things that a person should focus on to be successful, which are education, talents and skills, and most importantly is responsibility. Education is very important in one’s life because through education that person will be able to reach succeed and achieve his goals. By being…

(2)The last of my clothes were out, my duffle bag open at two AM. The dark night filled my room, only the moon as a light source, and the trees rustled in the wind. New Orleans was crime bound at this time at night, people were constantly missing, gunshots constantly heard, but I learned to deal with it. Sirens wailed in the distance, and caught my attention. I walked over to my window and looked outside-the sirens carried away towards the mansion down the street. Probably one of the…

It was my first instinct, a reflex, like a knee-jerk reaction; without even thinking about it, I threw Yukine as far as I could away from me, hoping that it would be far enough. I could hear him screaming at me because of this, but I could not let him actually die for me. I looked up to see Kiun, the thunder blade, charging down at me. Takemikazuchi stood in front of me, getting ready to swing his sword to finish me off. I clenched my eyes shut, both in anticipation of the wait and because of…

The Other Side of the Story He has always been there for me. Ever since I was a little girl my dad and I have had a special bond, I could talk to him about everything, and he listened, even to the things he really didn’t care to know. It was a goal of his to make sure my sister, my mom and I all felt loved no matter what he had to go through to make that happen. He always gave me the best advice, he would always tell me “there are three sides to every story, the first side, the second side and…

it does. Jay hasn’t really said anything about what happened and I don’t think he really cares. He’s been calling me more often so I think that means whoever he was supposed to be seeing cut him off. This has all been happening for a purpose; every single time we try to go against each other it never works out. We are meant to be for each other. . .maybe he’s finally starting to see this. We stayed up until three in the morning last night talking about absolutely nothing; remembering the times…
