There I was waiting in the long, steadily moving lunch line at school. I was smiling and laughing with my friend. It was a regular Wednesday, just like any other. My phone was in my hand and I felt a sudden vibration. I looked at my phone to read a text message that my beloved boyfriend had sent me. It said "I don 't think this is working." As I read each word, I felt my heart crumbling to pieces. I had never felt such excruciating pain within my chest. I couldn 't believe the words that I had…

The year is 2012. 7 years. It’s been a gruesome 7 years without Adeline. It’s all my fault. I killed her. The anger in my voice is what pushed her over the edge, literally. I let out a groan as I punched the bedroom wall that already had many holes as a result of my anger. The bedroom was littered with clothes of women. This was the only thing that eased the pain. Killing. It gave me such a thrill. Something about the way the blood would pour out, how they would beg for their lives, and oh,…

Ever since I was in the second grade I have had a love for math. I knew then that once I got older I would pursue a career associated with math. At that time, I wanted to be a math teacher because I did not have knowledge of many careers, but I loved math and was around teachers all the time. Math came so easy to me and I could do it so fast, and still can. When I got home from school I would act like a math teacher and teach my sister math, even though she is older than me. I had the same…

My plant is a sunflower. Sadly, I don 't have one but I would love to have one. I have seen one in the "wild". I don 't think that it would be conisdered as wild though but I have seen one outside of my city, in Baguio City in the Philippines, to be exact. In a hidden town, hundreds of years before, there were two people who loved each other and remained loyal to each other no matter what. The girl 's name is Noronia, and she is the daughter of a sultan. Her lover 's name is Gamaluddin, just…

People all over the world fall in and out of love every single day, and sometimes a person’s love story is not at all how they wanted it to be. This is shown in two different love stories. In Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, readers meet a boy named Romeo and a girl named Juliet who have a forbidden love. Because of their love, they feel that killing themselves is the best way to be together. And in the book Naughts and Crosses written by Malorie Blackman, This is a story of not…

A deep long sigh escaped my lip as I walked into the tunnel, which led to the player’s changing rooms. My eyes watched the spectators gather for what would surely be one of the greatest rugby matches in history. Each of their faces were filled with anticipation and eager for the match to begin but also many had sorrow in their eyes. The match would be one of the saddest matches too as people gathered to remember the coach that had supported so many players throughout their careers, Scott Evans.…

The sounds of rustling leaves and heavy panting were the only things heard as she ran through the forest. That, and the occasional... sound. Graghh! "Come on, Virgil! You have to be faster! Or that, thing, might get us... " A tiny silhouette dashing between tress. A terrier chasing after. Something on their trail. "I'm sorry, Virgil. Once we get home I won't yell at you anymore. I promise!" Awoo! ... When she saw that Virgil was peeing on her pillow, again, she couldn't help but…

Who knew mid April could be so warm. She was already sweating as she started hanging paintings on the walls. Maybe the heat was getting to me. Maybe that’s why I got so angry. I think maybe even the whitewash walls were sweating. “What is the matter with you?” she said with mild irritation. I screamed back with extraordinary force, “EVERYTHING- this house, him, you, me, us!” “Don’t be dramatic”, she says while rolling her eyes, patronization leaking from her pores like sweat. I couldn’t…

Lynna Hong Amy Dickinson English 99 13 September 2016 Go Get It. Period. “[They say] if you want something go get it. Period.” Growing up I was quite the introvert. I was a shy girl who didn’t have many friends and I didn’t go out of my way to make any either. In fact, I actually found myself to be really sad and lonely. I always assumed it was always going to stay like that and there was nothing I could possibly do to change it. I had this mindset that I was just suppose to stick through it…
