Calum Hood Monologue

I rapidly took the bathtub scrub and started scrubbing like my life depends on it. I always said the most ungracious stuff about my mom not being book smart. As I was cleaning, I felt drowsy more than ever. I felt like I overdosed myself with allergy medicine. My eyes were easily closing like I was giving up on life. As soon I put out the trash on the porch, I ran so fast. I ran faster than an Olympic track and field star. As soon as I got to my room, I cleaned my room so fast I bet the flash could not reach my speed limit. By the time I was done my mom entered the room with the Bible. All I could say is “what, she wants to preach now. I think I have been through heck already” she hands me the bible and says read this scripture, I read “children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right” Ephesians 6:1. Before I knew she was ranting very loudly about her life in Africa, how her mother suffered for her and that she was so respectful. I bet 5 million dollars she did not lie due to how she treats her mom now. I started crying and realized how I was wrong about my

"I wasn't blaming my teammates." I retorted, "We were out of rotation and I was trying to make sure my friend was ok playing setter." Her eyebrows shrunk and her jaw clenched

He then begins to maniacally laugh louder and louder, and then becomes silent again, whispering something yet again, unintelligible, and again, I am confused. “Maybe this Mr. C wants me to find him” I thought.

"But it was harmless, though," Enzo insisted, sitting back up. "Ain't my fault she walked in on me like that."

"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what you mean," Jay replied, cautiously looking around for anyone lurking suspiciously outside, fully aware of active coppers patrolling the area. "This is a drugstore, sir..."

The sky was dark with only the street lights there to help me see. It was around 9:00 PM and I saw that the lights were still on inside my house. Now that meant that my parents were still up, so I knew they were going to be angry. I was hanging out with some friends and just didn’t want any of it from my parents. I opened the door and the second I stepped into the house, my mom started yelling.

It’s 8:54 p.m. I hear keys and the door opening. I run down the stairs to the door and standing right in front of me is my mother. My mother had me up all night worrying about whether she was ok or not. My mom takes off her shoes and asks me to come sit on the couch with her. We sit down and my mom begins to speak.

Audra stormed forward and stopped right in front of the nasty little woman. “What did you say to me?”

I walk slowly over to Octavian with one arm holding the other, looking as if I am a seven year old who has to pee, trying to hide my humiliation and worry.

The man laughs as though he has never heard a joke before. I awkwardly sit their waiting for his jovial rhythm to die down in hopes that he will not continue any more conversation. Sadly, my hopes are rarely met.

“Sorry for giving out random confessions. I know you might not even think that was even necessary to talk about at all.” She had chuckled in between what she said and turned back to the red-head. “I wanted to be even with you since you exposed yourself.”

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?" Her furious green eyes glared into his nonchalant ones.

We stop in silence and I look at him like all the times I did before.

Evelyn: "Then why don't you go over there and talk to him. Be friends with him. Have a pow wow."

I see a confused girl on my right shaking. She has a face like a rat with black hair. A newbie. I take her hand and say, “Just run with me.”
