to her son. “Kaylie, I want you to meet me son. This is Shaggy.” Macey turns around and brings Shaggy closer. He picked up his head from the ground, and underneath his red hoodie I saw his brown eyes. He gave me a smile I would never forget. “Hi.” I said all shaky. We just kept eye contact until my phone buzzed. I never thought that I would be falling in love with a guy who is childish. Starting freshman year, everything has changed. I did not know we would have classes together so when I saw…

The next morning, Tom awoke to the sound of the opening of his dresser drawer. “Dammit Tyler,” he cursed. Suddenly upright, comforter on the floor, Tom beheld himself. This Tom was a few pounds thinner. His haircut was shorter, cropped like the one he’d worn in the previous spring. There were heavy purple sacks under his eyes. On the floor of the bedroom room lay a half dozen empty cans of various off-brand energy drinks and sheets of torn-away notebook paper covered in ferocious scribbling. On…

good day for them, then the whole world is perfect. NEWS FLASH, it's not. I know that at least 35% of the people on Earth at least try to help the world out a little bit. I guess that is okay, but some people have no choice. For example a kid is forced by their parents because his/her parents are total nut jobs about the world being a safe place and all. Another example is.......... NAH I'll tell you how it really started. It was a dark, stormy night in the city of Tampa, Florida.…

Frank. Growing up, I always heard stories about how someone did something wrong and then they talk about the way they were brought up. I would see on the news about a man who committed a murder, the news then tries to bring his family into it and place blame on them for his actions. Yes, I think the way you are raised establishes a baseline of right and wrongs, but as you develop and grow you make the decisions on what you think. Work ethics is something I think can be taught through just the…

pushed myself out of the bed and quietly grabbed clothes. I jumped in the shower and did my morning routine. After I was done, I walked into the kitchen and made Gavin and I some scrambled eggs and bacon. I put the food on plates when it was done cooking. I walked back into the bedroom and I was surprised that Gavin wasn't awake yet. I smirked and bent down to kiss his nose. When that didn't wake him, I pressed my lips against his. My smirk grew when I felt him deepen the kiss. We both pulled…

22 Apr 2015 Public School Music: Are We Preaching to the Choir? Words can often fail us when we want to convey our emotions. In fact, words can even be our downfall in certain situations. What do we use when we have no words? One of the most commonly used ways is through music. Music serves as an outlet to express our feelings and just escape from the trying times we might be facing. . Unfortunately people within the education system are starting to wipe out music from any and all forms of…

First memory It was during the night, my sister happened to be sleeping, and snoring. My brother was already in the kitchen and was asking for his daily drink (milk). I withdrew my stool, opened the fridge and pulled out the milk jug with all my might. Then I climbed up like a monkey to grab a cup ( and sugar, as every child needs sugar with everything.) I poured, it spilled, I poured, it spilled. However, after my third attempt I did it. I gave it to him (after I had some of it) and he…
