come up with a response. “Did you suddenly go mute?” “No, Coach.” “Districts are next week! I can’t afford for you to not have your head in the game! What’s wrong with you?” “It’s nothi—” “Don’t you ‘nothing’…

regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years makes the rest of us positively as insane as they were. The funny part was that to make it fun and goofy we dressed up as Alvin and the chipmunks. Ok it wasn’t originally our idea to dress up, it was also part of…

bass drum in my ears as I run. I can barely breathe but I don’t stop. I reach my car, crank the engine and put my foot to the floor. Driving through the streets of Brisbane to the highway, I start to think over Alice’s and my relationship. “You should come over this weekend. We can work on our project.” I messaged her late at night. “Okay, I’ll ask my parents.” Alice answers quickly before confirming she can. On Saturday morning, she arrives at my house. We work on our project, have nice…

might as well take good care of it, but in order to take good care of the textbook you need a good backpack. As Alan Krantzler a marketing chief who is helping create a new market with student-targeted backpacks says, “A bag is a badge. It's a statement of how cool you are,” therefore we want to create the Back2Back app making your journey in looking for a cheap and stylish backpack or getting rid of easy for you (Horovitz, B., & Today, U.).…

prides itself on white supremacy, prejudice and showing no remorse for its behaviour. Whilst Sam considered himself to be quite a forgiving person, he couldn’t, for the life of him, forgive his hometown for what they did to his father. He had to leave this god-forsaken town. To leave behind all the memories, his heartbroken mother, but most importantly, all the pain that he associated with Maycomb. The day Sam took his final look at the last sign of Maycomb that had the words, ‘You’re Now…

Regina was now standing. "One million years later you 're ready, what a miracle," Regina said clapping and I shook my head. "Because of you, we 're going to be late to the party" "Gina chill, you can never be late to a party where people won 't even notice. This is a carrington…

Son “Okay. Okay. But I can’t call you Son. ‘Hi, Son. Come here, Son.’ I sound like a grandmother. Give me something else.” “You pick.” “Okay. I will. Let’s see. I need something that fits. I know. I’ll ask you a question – a question I want to ask anyway and the best name will fit right in. Here I go. ‘Why did you have to leave Eloe on the run, leave so fast you couldn’t go to Frisco’s funeral, uh, uh, Phil?’ That’s good. That’s Anglicized French for son.” -Jadine and Son, Tar Baby…

wood, lowering myself to the ground. I pulled my phone from my pocket. Two missed calls, three texts, one voicemail. Mom. "Hey." Said one. "How did it go?" Asked another. "Call me when you can." Read the last. "Jason, its Mom. I was wondering about your visit with Dr. Samwell today. Call me later okay? Love you." Click, I tossed my phone onto the bed a few feet away from me, sunk my head into my hands and ran my fingers through my…

people are tough to get along with. It seems like so many souls could be saved, but people get in the way! Working with people is never on the top of the "to do" list. Many want to live as Emperor and just dictate what is going to happen. Maxwell reminds us that we need to complete and not compete. He lists five things this will take: listening, finding common ground, being available, keeping humor and being truthful. Listening shows that one cares and is willing and open to other 's idea…

not Jer. You are not my father, nor will you ever be, so you don’t have the right to call him Jer.” Her hands formed into defensive and protective fists, but they stayed glued to her side. She wouldn’t dare to purposely hurt someone. She sat there wishing that Sterling had that same mentality as he set his hand down on her upper thigh. “No matter what we call him, he’ll still be gone until 3:35.” As his hand slowly crept up her leg, she tensed and stood up. “You know, I’ve actually…
