Allie Hernandez: A Short Story

My name is Selena Sanchez and I recently graduated high school. I am grateful for institutions like PCC who provide affordable education for students, like me, who might not have otherwise continued their education due to their financial status. I am a first generation college student and I look forward to working with you all.

“I think it’s a left up that way past the exit,” Drumming his fingers over his knee, Logan was about to pray to any deity that was still listening to him for the next bar to be the place where Lianne Mars was. Three days into taking Arizona by storm, Veronica’s mouth had gone stiff with disappointment and Logan’s back was starting to cramp up from the lebaron. After hearing from the Neptune High rumor mill that Lianne Mars had taken off, Logan remembered every quip he’d made to make things harder on Veronica. While taking them back now isn’t really an option, spending his days switching off driving with her hardly seemed like apt penance when he was having so much fun.

CPI made a face to face with Leah Rodriguez, who was seen free of marks and bruises. Leah was very outgoing, and seems to be a happy child. She indicated that had cereal and milk for breakfast. Leah was able to count the numbers and say the alphabet. She could not distinguish the difference between the truth and a lie. She indicated she resides with her mommy, daddy, sister “Gabi”, and her fish “Sally”. Her favorite color is pink and blue. Leah denied witnessing fights or arguments at her home or at her father’s house. Leah expressed she was at Universal Studios yesterday with her daddy and sister. She liked Universal because it was fast and fun, and was not scare of the rides. Leah denied being afraid or scared at home.

I lazily go to the kitchen for breakfast. Mother is rushing around attempting to handle a million things at once! She is making me oatmeal, Poppy toast, Isabelle applesauce, and John and Henry cereal. She is also trying to change Isabelle’s diaper, stop Henry and Poppy from arguing, and listen to John practise a speech for class.

Allie Maples has a sparkle in her emerald eyes that draws men the way buttermilk draws flies on a hot summer day. She is bright, self-assured, and beautiful. Even though she has not yet turned sixteen, she knows exactly what she wants out of life. Her ideal life is not, confined to a plantation as its mistress; she wants the exotic, she wants mystery, she wants travel and adventure. However, when Allie travels to Charleston, South Carolina with her mother to visit relatives at Christmas, in the year 1860, the last thing she expects is to meet and fall in love with a handsome young Yankee.

When I first started school, I only had my close friends to talk with. To get more friends, I felt like I had to act like other students, and I had to wear different clothes. I just wanted to fit in and be popular like everyone else. My teachers were just people who talked about school. But there was something more when I saw Mrs.Guerrero. After a bad storm, there is a rainbow.

Once upon a time there was a monstrous girl who lives in the sewer off the side of the town of bikini bottom, opposite of Soul Forrest. Every day when the monstrous girl emerges from the sewer, the people of bikini bottom laugh and call her little monster mean. One morning little monster mean asked her abusive step father if she could visit her grandma “I suppose it will be better that having you here.” He growls then shoves her up and out of the sewer, passing up a handful of poisoned moss “give this to your grandma, and drink some of the juices out of it when you get there, none before.” He instructs the girl, but little monster mean just sits on the ground and thinks of ways to kill her step farther.

From a young age, Evany Martinez knew she wanted a different life from the people around her. For fear that, if Martinez did not do something terrifyingly unique her life would mirror that of her parents. Such as her mother who as beautiful and intelligent as she was, stayed complacent in the arms of her high-school sweetheart alcoholic husband. For this reason, Martinez escaped to the worlds she found in books, music, television, and movies. In the hope that one day life would imitate art.

Suddenly, the girl was little again and she began to cry as she sat across the table from her kind mother. She didn’t understand why she was crying -- she was so happy that she didn’t know what else to do. The monster had left, and the girl couldn’t be happier, and soon she realized that she was going to stand up and fight for herself and help join the fight to blast all of the evil away from the world.

Glysdi tripped over a trash bag, hearing clanking as she sprawled on her lawn. Curious, she sat up and reached for the bag, searching for an opening. Inevitably, a protruding shard cut her palm, but the pain didn’t come to her. At age 11, Glysdi saw the cheap brand names on the beer bottle piece. She went back into her house, walking slowly past her mother seemingly unconscious on the sofa, her snores loud and irregular. The quiet inside the bathroom comforted her immediately as she released a breath she didn’t know she was holding. Tear drops mingled with blood as she tried to scrub off the metallic smell on her hand.

I interviewed Mrs.Sanchez aka my mom about 9/11. She usually didn't like to talk about that type of personal stuff. Sometimes she just had bad memory or she just keeps her stuffed to herself, but this time she had made an exception. So I started of asking her some questions.”How old were you in september 11, 2011?” I asked Mrs.Sanchez. She had replied that she was about sixteen years old at that time. My mom back then used to live in a farm/ranch and helped my grandparents grow crops and raise the cattle. She had been doing her daily routine. Not so long after that my mom had told me that she had been riding the tractor back home. She said that my gram had something important to show her. When my mom had gotten home she seen what was on TV.

A cold, dark hospital room, Adriana sits stiffly, shaking with fear, tears running down her eyes. At only 13 years old, Adriana has been to the hospital one too many times. Such a young age, not knowing what’s going on, she anxiously waits to go home.

Sabrina Neyra has been working at her parents business, a bakery and cafe, since she was just ten years old. “I always helped my mom with cake decorating.” she says. As she grew older, she received more responsibilities. Now, at the age of 14 she works as a hostess; greeting guests, showing them to their table, giving them menus and silverware, as well as telling them the specials. “The first time I had to serve, I was really scared that I would say something wrong.” she recalls.

The year is 2050 and the humans are in desperate need of any resources. All the countries of earth have come together in an act of survival. The humans could not afford to fight with each other because time was not on their side. But they did have one thing that might save them from mass extinction. Can you guess? Hope. But this kind of hope did not lie in mental form but as in physical. The last hope of the human race lies in the hand of the newborn child named Apollo Hernandez.
