A Story About A Love Story

Trista had always been a normal kid except for her stories. It wasn't that they were disturbing or horrific, they were just unusual. Sometimes they seemed exactly like the kind of thing you'd expect from a kid, but other times, I'd have to look at her and wonder how she came up with such things. It started when she was four, shortly after our dad split, leaving the two of us on our own.

The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case.

We had just left his Dads house after driving there to look for his dad. We decided to take his truck instead of the BMW. It was horribly hot and humid. The humidity was almost palpable. It was as if you were wading through a hot, steaming bowl of soup. He had just turned 16 and was obviously inexperienced. We didn’t care though. We drove with the windows down jamming out to music. It didn’t matter how hot it was we were just enjoying our days of summer. Little did we know, we wouldn’t be relishing in this hot summer day much longer. We had just passed NAPA, the auto supply store, heading south for his mothers house. She lived down one block and two to the left. At the stop sign we stopped for a moment, changing the song to bruno mars’s “When I Was Your Man”. I leaned out the window, crooning out the lyrics. He accelerated and started to cross the highway.

Living in a world where mystical creatures were bound to appear, humans didn't have any way to protect themselves and usually got hurt. Chesire died when he was six, the last thing he felt was the burning hatred for any mystical creature. As Chesire fell through the hole of death, darkness swallowed him hungrily before spitting him out, causing blistering pain to shoot up every limb off his body as he hit the ground. He remembered looking up, his teeth clenched in agony, and face reddened in rage, to see a golden chamber with no doors, yellow fire licking his ankles greedily. He remembered the scorching pain he felt as fire and smoke entered his lungs as he beat against the walls desperately calling out his mother's name. He remembered the

The book I read is “Love Story”, by Erich Segal, who is an accredited screenwriter, author of scholarly books, and was hailed “the most important new writer of the 1970’s” for this tragic tale. The book is published by Harper & Row and is a short 130 pages. Portions of this book first appeared in “The Ladies Home Journal” and was officially published as a novel in 1970. This book was recommended to me by my father and the New York Times #1 best sellers list.

I am Bennie Cork. My real name is Benjamin Henry Cork, BUT the only people who can call me that is my mother, my “real” father, my great grandmother, or Olivia. If you were to notice me, you are a rare type of breed. I’m nothing special… not extremely tall… not extremely smart...not extremely good looking… and definitely not extremely social, so no one really remembers me. I go through the halls of Glenbrook North High School looking like any other 17 year old guy: brown hair, blue eyes, weirdly skinny, and very very misportional. But, I’m nothing like other guys. I AM A MAN while the other males here's are BOYS! They think it’s funny to go around calling names! “Dorkie Corkie”, “Slenderman”, and “Corkscrew” are their very intelligent way of picking on me. I’m not gonna lie… these names do hurt me, but my dear, beautiful, amazing friend is helping me through all their immature assery. Her name is Olivia… Olivia Baldwin.

I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child

"The most important thing in the world is family and love." At least that's what John Wooden said. That quote alone could make people ponder deeply about family, but for my brother Jared, and I that was a whole different story. Since the beginning, my brother and I have always been unfair, and unkind to each other. From getting into little fights over the smallest things to getting on the ground wrestling each other; my brother and I haven’t always gotten along. We would always say we were going to start being nicer, but it would never work out until him, and I had a mind changing experience with a small story and dream. Ultimately, my brother and I aren't like your stereotypical goody-two-shoes brothers, but in the end, we were able to overcome that hatred and replace it with love and friendship.
