“Hey Taylor, Me and Sarah are outside waiting for you, we are giving you a ride to school.” Karina said.

On Wednesday morning, I woke up with a start. I remembered he hadn’t done his homework the night previous and rushed to get it all completed before going to school. At school, things had been just the same as the day before, a rush of commotion and celebrating. Today, however, he was feeling extra tired, still sore from yesterday’s practice and waking up with a stressful start had contributed to his overall zombie behavior. My fingers uselessly fumbled with his locker’s lock, when Fiona arrived beside me.

“Uh, yeah! Sure!” When I knew I was l alone I ran all over town looking for the source of the snow. I finally found it at an abandoned warehouse just outside of town. I waited a couple of seconds before saying something but before I could, someone spoke.

"It looks like you're trying to start a game of charades, let me guess, you're a dancing crab", he responded jokingly.Anna laughed, finished her stretches, got up, and with Matt, walked out the door.

The bright, warm sun shone through the only window in Mrs. William's 5th grade classroom. Mckenna Green sleepy peeks up at the window and glances at the bright green trees and blooming flowers. She looks at all the beautiful spring colors and birds flying happily in the sky. Mckenna suddenly looks back down at her 35 question math test and sighs. All she sees is black and white, her least favorite colors. She then stares at the ticking clock, with several more minutes till school ends. Mckenna slowly drifts into a daydream, closing her eyes lightly. She imagines herself babysiting for the first time, something she had been wanting to do ever since her friends started to babysit. Mckenna sees her best friend Annie by her side as they watch Mckenna’s two-year-old sister Pennie play with her dolls. Shortly after, Mckenna’s mother Mrs. Green comes home and gives them both 20 dollar bills. “Thankyou, thankyou very much!” Mckenna says as she gleefully gazes at her money.

In the morning, it felt like a regular day. Lyla woke up to complete silence. She rolled out of bed, sliding her feet into her slippers and picked up the clothes that she’d picked out yesterday to wear today at school. She opened her bedroom door and walked down the narrow hallway to the bathroom, stopping at her sister’s room.

Truthfully Justin didn’t blame him, she had chosen the scariest place in town, a 43-year-old abandoned school, half rotted and falling apart. They hurried to the school, Justin’s feet shuffling lazily on the ground. He was exhausted. He had gone out to a party the night before and just wanted to sleep. But Adam wouldn’t allow it.

She spotted Jake across the street and hoped the crowd obscured his vision. It wasn’t her intention to meet with now, or ever, for that matter. She ducked into the livery.

The kids realized that Margot now must wait 7 years to see the sun, and they felt remorseful for locking her up in a closet. After they came back into the classroom and saw it was raining, then they all realized the deed that they had done was very severe and they were sympathetic for her. Once they went to the door, they heard nothing behind the closet doors. They

Cassie and her three brothers, Christopher-John, Little Man, and Stacey, are walking to their first day of their school year at Great Faith Elementary School, a school for black children. As they are walking to school, they bump into T.J. who announces to them that there have been burnings going around. Cassie is now in fourth grade and dislikes her teacher, Miss Crocker. Miss Crocker eagerly announces that the class will have books. This excites the students considering that they have never had books before. However, when the students see how poorly the books’ condition were, they were in disbelief. This angers Little Man since he likes everything to be neat. This was not the only thing that angered him. When he opens the book, he

Pg 1] When Frannie was done with everything and headed to school she saw her friends. Then they all sat together also Frannie is exciting to see new students if there was any. There came a student and gave a note to Ms.Johnson. He was the only student that is new here. Frannie told her friends that Rayray and Maribel are pretty cute when they came into the room.

Just got to Alden for school, hopped out of the car with a smile on my face. Warm breeze, screaming kids, and me. The bell rang the loudest that day. It sounded like a train that was right by my ear. Walking into to school was just like normal when all of the sudden “Ally come here,” Jocelyn said.

We continue to talk until I get a text from Rachel’s father saying that dinner will be ready soon and I need to come back. We say our goodbyes and I make my way back to the house. Dylan is starting to get hungry, so I walk faster.

A few hours had passed and it was now lunch time for the tenth graders. Karkat had gotten his food and was waiting on Kanaya. Jade was alone at the table. The two blond(e)s mentioned earlier had approached her while Karkat wasn't paying attention.
