A Story Of A Short Story

It was taking a long time to find the right address because the GPS had taken us to the wrong house. We pulled into the driveway and typed it in again. Mom was so tired that she kept dozing off as well, so Callie was in charge of keeping her awake. Every time she’d tap on her shoulder, Mom would say something along the lines of, “I know, I know! We are almost there.” It was around one in the morning when we arrived at grandpa’s house.

The paramedics rushed over to Angelica, checked her pulse, the paramedic said, “She has no pulse, we have to get her to the nearest hospital quick.” Marie started crying and screaming, “Oh my God, Oh my God, Please, help my baby.” Aunt Lori held Marie. As they were working with Angelica, Aunt Lori rushed to the phone and called David and Simone to tell them to meet them at the hospital. After hanging up, the paramedics rushed Angelica out the door, Marie rode in the ambulance with them. Aunt Lori rushed out behind them following the ambulance. When they made it to the hospital, they rushed Angelica inside, were there was Doctors waiting. As they rushed Angelica to the back, Marie tried to follow them, but one of the paramedics stopped her and said, “Maam, she’s in good hands, I’m sorry, but you can’t go back there.” “That’s my daughter.” said Marie. “Maam, I’m sorry, but you can’t.” said the paramedic. Marie walked off, headed to the waiting area, she was still crying. When she got to the waiting area, Aunt Lori rushed to her side. “What did they say?” ask Aunt Lori. “They told me that I can’t go back there.” said Marie. As they were talking, Simone and David rushed in. “Mom, What happened?” ask Simone. “I don’t know.” cried Marie. “Mom, come sit down.” said David. Marie kept crying. “It’s going to be alright, Angelica will be just fine.” said David. “Aunt Lori what happened?” ask Simone. “We were all asleep, then Angelica started screaming, she was crying and complaining about her head, she said that her head was hurting real bad, so Marie went and got a warm towel and placed it on her forehead, but she was still in pain, so I called the ambulance, when they arrived Marie and I rushed to the door to let them in and when they rushed to the back, they said Angelica had no pulse.” “Oh my God.” said Simone. “Have the Doctor or anyone spoken to you?” ask David. “No, just before you both arrived, they rushed her in the back.” said Marie. They all sat and

Piedad removed the duck and told Deyonnah to, “Finish your snack first.” Deyonnah went back to the snack table and sat down. Deyonnah got up and Ms. Piedad redirected her back to the table to clean up. Deyonnah flopped to the ground, “Bye everybody, bye, bye” she cried. The telephone rang and Ms. Piedad went to answer it. Deyonnah got up and began to climb up the cubby to get the popcorn. Ms. Chantel went to the cubby and removed the popcorn. Deyonnah hit Ms. Chantel and cried, “Why you crying?” Ms. Chantel told her, “Its ok, don’t cry. I’ll give you a napkin.” Ms. Chantel placed the napkin on the table and gave Deyonnah more popcorn. Deyonnah ate a handful then got up, ran to the carpet area and ran in circles around the stool. She then went back to the table and ate a few more pieces of popcorn, then ran back to the stool and ran in circles. Ms. Piedad prompted Deyonnah to go back to the table and helped her throw her stuff away. Deyonnah then grabbed the toys from the table, ran to the cabinet and got the whisper phone then went back to the table and began to eat her classmate’s popcorn. When her classmate returned to the table Deyonnah ran back to the carpet area and ran in

He turned to her and asked, “Where do you live miss.” The girl still who seemed angry at him answered quickly to avoid conversation. Sam knew full well that the girl had every right to be angry at him but he was saddened by her hostility toward him. She was not the most attractive girl but still he did not like being yelled at. While carrying her home she suddenly asked her, “What’s your name miss?” The girl started by his sudden question blushed and turned her head and said hesitantly, “My name is…Joy.” He thought about her answer for a while and then replied, “My name is Sam I work at the farm over there.” Pointing in the direction of the farm. “Oh… ok she replied after hearing his name.” As they arrived at her house she put her down to knock on the door and she seemed upset about it. Confused he let her lean on him while he knocked. He heard the voice of a woman saying she was coming and sat in wait. When the door opened a woman who seemed to be the mother of joy gasped as she saw the state of her daughter and hurried them in. It was already late and joy’s mother was cooking dinner. Joy’s mother led joy and him to a room and helped him lay joy down on the bed.

I heard soft footsteps coming for my door. Knock, knock. “Come in,” I sighed. My mom opened the door and walked over to my bed. I could smell her sweet perfume, and was overwhelmed with a feeling of content. “Madison, my cell phone is out of minutes for the month and I need to call somebody about an ad on craigslist. It won’t be long, sweetheart.” Tony always paid her phone bill, and they were on the same contract. My feeling of content faded into disappointment. I argued with my mom for a short moment, and soon realized it was not worth it. I handed over my shiny, yet beat up purple flip phone. Mom, looking a little guilty, strolled out of my room. I decided to follow her so that I could help myself to some dinner. Holding my phone in her hand, my mom, almost skipping, made it down the stairs and out the front door in record time. “Why is she going outside to make a phone call?” I asked myself. I searched the fridge and the cupboards for any sign of food that actually looked good to me. I didn’t find anything, so I huffed to myself and turned out of the deserted kitchen and back up the stairs. Instead of going into my dreadfully boring room, I walked into my sister’s room. “Madison, what the hell? Why don’t you ever knock?” Sydnie asked, accusingly. “I’m sorry,” I wasn’t sorry, “I just can’t find anything to eat and I’m bored. And Mom is outside on the phone with some person about something. My phone.” Syd squinted at me with her soft blue eyes through her freshly dyed black hair and her heavy dark eyeliner. She had been busy typing away on the Acer laptop she’d gotten for Christmas months before. She took her eyes off me and focused back onto the screen of her laptop. I stood there in her doorway sluggishly for minutes before she finally lifted herself out of her twin size bed and made her way through her messy room. I can’t remember a time when Sydnie’s room was clean. She

My Grandma Mary was sitting there in the car, waiting for me. I quickly walked over to the car, opened up the backdoor, and put my stuff inside the car, and shut the door. I opened up the front door, got in, and shut the door. “Well hello. How was your day?” my grandma

Kelsie and Reagan were on their four wheelers riding down a dirt road. As Reagan was on the left side and Kelsie was on the right side of the road. Reagan looked to her left and stopped. Kelsie didn't realize Reagan had stopped so she turned around and went back to where Reagan was stopped. “Don't get any ideas we are not going in there!” yelled Kelsie. As Reagan stared at the abandoned house. She started to ask kelsie a bunch of questions about the house. We were at her grandparents and apparently her grandpa always talked about this abandoned house. “Ill tell you about it when we get home, let's go” spoke kelsie. As they both did a burn out they raced each other all the way back to Kelsie’s grandparents house.

“Never mind,” I laughed “Why are you here? You look 16, unless you’re really tall.”

Jen answered,“I'm your best friend. Remember when we went to the government to get my brother and your sister Jojo? We weren’t going to leave without

One Saturday I decided to go over to my friend Anne’s house. When I arrived I knocked on her door, Anne's mom, Mrs. Cazzato, answered. “Hi Emma,” Mrs.Cazzato said. “Hi Mrs.Cazzato,” I replied, I was just looking for Anne.” “She’s just out back,” explained Mrs.Cazzato. “Okay,” I responded, “Thank you!” I went around back and Anne was swinging on her swing. “Hi,” I said. “Hi,” she replied. I went over and sat on the swing beside her, Anne asked, “Do you want to go for a walk in the forest?” “Sure,” I said half scared half excited. “I have never been in the forest before,” I explained. “I’ve been in the forest lots of times before and it’s not that bad,” Anne explained.

Ellie calmed Monica down and told her all of the good things that would happen to her at her new HIgh School. It is now the morning of the first day of school. Monica got all ready, had a good breakfast, and was out the door a hour early. Her mom thought it would be a good idea to go to Joyce earlier to get to know the place better and be less lost. Once Monica arrived she thought it was a luxury school compared to her old school back in New York City. She walked around the school figuring where all of her classes would be. Before she knew it, the bell rang for the fifteen minute warning before their first class began. Monica began walking to her first class when this girl with brown hair and green eyes stopped her.

Mary was put together fairly well. Her hair perfectly curled to a T. Dressed for a wintery weekend in the big city. The red beannie showcases her flawless brown eyes. But yet she scurries. Dragging her suitcase frantically through the airport. People turn to look at her, but not for the reasons you would think. She trips spilling all the belongings of her purse, in panic quickly starts to pick them up.“Oh here let me help you with that” says a rather attractive man with a thick Australian accent as he bends down to assist her. “Thank you so much,” as the two stand up, “I’m in a real big hurry , about to miss my flight!” She uneasily proclaims as she stands up to lock eyes with the man. “Thank you again!” Mary yells as she turns and runs to
