“Let’s put her in the closet before teacher comes back!” Let me go! I shrieked as they threw me in the cramped closet. Thump! Slam! Let me out I screeched as I pounded on the door. “Hahahaha!” The children chuckled as they left me sobbing on the lumpy floor. I cried out for the teacher but my mournful words were muffled by the towering wooden door. It was total silence and I was determined to see the sun. Just before they locked me in the closet, I saw a light bulb at the top of the…

Today, she and Rockower are colleagues at Delta Middle School, where Mueller teaches music and theatre.

witnessed that. He fell on the cold, snowy ground crying in pain. This attracted a crowd of people that grew larger and more boisterous as people began to yell at the British soldiers. The church bells were rung, which usually means that there is a fire, bringing more and more people out. By the time the bells stopped, there were over fifty people gathered together, yelling and scolding the soldiers who had their muskets loaded and pointing at the crowd. I stood to the side because I would…

The bell rang, again and I grabbed my stuff and went straight to the science room. We’re doing a lab on growing different kinds of plants and seeing how tall they get each day. My headache got worse every 5 minutes. At least that’s what it felt like. When…

purely interesting. I did not know why, but she intrigued me. The next day I woke up to my heart beating out of my chest, my muscles pulling myself out of bed. Passion for companionship ran through my body, today I meet the woman. When I rang her bell, she opened the door with a soft smile and instantly I knew, she was magical. I will never forget those comforting words spoken to me, “why don’t you come on down…

In 2008, all of the female first graders, and probably even a few of the male first graders, had a crush on the same seven year-old kid (for his sake and mine I'm going to change his name to John Smith).

curly full dark-brown hair. He is very thin and tall for his age. Jonathan’s clothing is nothing like what Jerrid would desire; he wears baggy jogging pants, all white t-shirts, and expensive nike tennis shoes. Jonathan loves fast-foods, with Taco-Bell late night being his favorite time of the day. In fact, he would order McDonald’s breakfast burritos and sausage biscuit every morning before school. Unlike demolishing Jerrid, Jonathan takes an hour sometimes more to finish a small portion of…
