Setting his bag flat by the table, the bowler looked around at the empty alley. He plopped in a chair and unzipped his bag. Clutching his shoes tight, he slipped them on and removed the covers.

He stretched his arm back to parallel with his shoulders, matching his fourth

Jeff screamed, “I would rather be late than go 65 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour area!” With the school in sight, a blaze of red and blue lights flashed around the car. With the music on full volume, Katie was oblivious to the squadron of police cars and helicopters surrounding her vehicle. Knowing she would be incarcerated, Jeff sprinted to the front entrance of the school and lunged for the door handle. Before he could reach it, the principal, Mr. Marley, stepped directly in front of him. “Saturday school it is,” he scoffed while opening the door for Jeff.

At the end of the day, Mr. Garvey called Jeff into his office. In his left hand, he held the in-class essay he assigned that day. Before passing out onto the ground, Jeff caught a glimpse of a large red ‘F’ stamped on his

Sniff* "Mommy...Sniff* Daddy..." The lupine cried out as he laid down inside the beaten up box, wishing for his parents until someone started to shake the box. "L-leave me alone..." He whimpered to the stranger until the shaking stopped and two white hands reached inside and lifted him out of the box. "Hey there... Don't fret little pup I'm a police officer. Why were you in that box? Where are your parents? A white tiger asked with a gentle voice to the frightened pup. Jade noticed the police uniform and tried hard to calm down but failed miserably. "T...T-they are....sniff* There gone! T-there with everyone and left me all alone!" The lupin cried out loud, unable to hold back his warm tears. His breaths could be seen in the cold night air.

She bit down on her lip, clearing her throat before speaking. "Look, I know you're all really confused... but I am as well... I'll explain everything after we eat. Breakfast is in the kitchen, there's some beer, juice, and milk in the fridge if you want anything." She said timidly, really nervous. She looked at everyone, Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Johnny didn't look as mean... Steve and Darry were in the middle, and Dallas and Two-Bit were glaring daggers at her. As if blaming her for the situation.

Ally smirked as the teacher walked in shouting about getting excited about class. Who would even be happy to be here? She thought, Especially not with a teacher who wears skinny jeans. Ally shuddered at the thought of it. “Dang it,” she whispered, glancing at Brennan to see if he heard. He didn’t, thankfully. Ally just sighed as she realized what the rest of her week in second period had become. A whole

Katie thought to herself as Mrs. Griffen continued taking attendance, “Jeez, Mrs. Griffen’s heart must be cold as ice. What did I do to her? I mean ya I wasn’t paying attention, but it’s not like it was my fault. I just happened to start daydreaming without me even realizing it.
