One ordinary morning, Esther's mom came barging into his batman room yelling at him to wake up. He sat up right away and slipped on his favorite pair of green rubber shoes(1). These weren’t just any old pair of shoes, they were bright green, humiliating, hideous shoes, but that’s why Esther loved them. He never really cared what other people thought, nothing ever got to him. Until, he met Lindsay Cowell, she turned his world around. She was the prettiest girl Esther had seen, he was crushing hard, but she had a boyfriend. Ryan. Ryan has bullied Ester since 5th grade, over the past 3 years Esters life has been horrible(29). Ryan has done everything you can imagine, from swirlies to wedgies.

As soon as the bell rang he started to sob, he has never been late to one of his classes and been so humiliated in one day. Out of nowhere, he started to smell something burning. He wiped his tears away and got up. He slowly walked out of the bathroom and noticed smoke coming from the teacher’s lounge. Esther didn't know what to do until he heard a scream come from the room. He sprinted as fast as he possibly could in his green apple shoes.
When he looked in he saw flames glowing brighter than the sun around Ms. Togo. Bad thoughts started to form in his head(3). He dragged her arms and pulled her outside. The alarm started to go off as he saw everyone dash to get outside. Esther didn't see Lindsay leave though. Heroically, he stayed in the same spot and started to look for her blond hair, hoping she was safe(4). He did not spot her, so he went deeper in the warmth.
Lindsay was already far away from the school, she had athletics first period. But Esther still didn’t know.… he kept searching for her(13). He saw a body, but little did he know, it was just a bookshelf.
The next morning…
“We are gathered here today to reflect on the life of Esther Walker Jones-”
“Sorry to interrupt, but we would like to return the evidence we have collected from the fire, we didn’t find any bodies but we found two green crocs, laying there as if they were brand new
I pull out a chair right by Emma and put my chin in my palm. The teacher, Mr. Brown, started to teach which made me want to go to sleep. My eye hesitated to stay open then I heard a loud bang. Someone drop their chair on the floor which made me wide awake in this boring
“Looks like they’re gone. You get on out of here and get yourself home. I’ll be watching from the window so you’ll be alright.”
Jax ran from the classroom as fast as he could, which was admittedly not very fast, sliding on the cool, marble hallway. He shoved the double doors of the school entrance open simultaneously and spilled out onto the front lawn. Ripping the paper that is taped to his back off, he pushes on, dashing across the yard and did not stop to notice the paper reading Fag drift to the ground. Tears spill unwillingly from his eyes as he shoves open his front door, knowing no one should be home to stop him. He flings his backpack off, spilling books on trigonometry and physics to the floor.
Abigail Jay stood in front of the school on the rain drenched steps, rocking on her heels. She was waiting for Jimmy, her uncle to close the shop for ten minutes to come and get. Most of the other students had already left from the campus once the last bell rang, they booked it. Abigail was use to waiting for Jimmy, it wasn’t uncommon for him to be late and if anything she’d be worried if he was on time. Abigail tangled with the pull strings of her hoodie, an excited smile on her face.
Scarlett awoke to the sound of her alarm and a pounding at the door, "Turn that blasted thing off!" her aunt Beatrice bellowed from the other side. Groggily, Scarlett sat up and groped around her side table for the alarm clock. She shut it off and sat in place for a few seconds to collect her bearings. Scarlett swayed slightly as she stood from the bed and walked slowly towards her door, noting the fact that her aunt was gone, she headed to the bathroom. Doing routine things like; peeing, brushing her teeth, and combing her hair into two pigtails at the sides of her head. She then headed back to her room and dressed for school in her white tank top and red hoodie. Grabbing her ipod, headphones, and school bag she sat down at the front door
The bell signalling the end of second period hadn’t sounded, yet. Or maybe it had.maybe she missed it amidst the screams. She wondered if it was all over, perhaps somewhere in a distant corner of the school, students and teachers rejoiced and hugged each other knowing there was nothing left to fear. No matter how quite it was outside fear still rushed through her body, mentally and physically. She knew she couldn’t get up. Fear had paralysed her. She had fled the library and fled her way through the southern hallway when it began. The hall was infused with kinetic horror. An aimless frenzy of kids and adults bound in a reckless pack of mass confusion, like and ant hill being washed away with a hose. No new knew what to do. They just ran. Lisa couldn’t run. The fear had taken ahold of her and would allow her to move any faster than a sloth in a waking

The sweat was dripping down John’s face as he pushed the weights off his chest. Everyone ran towards their bags after a student said there was a gun in school. Twitter was the first source that everyone checked just to make sure. Boom! The door slammed open as Coach Ben yelled “Hurry up and get out”. John’s heart started beating faster and faster. No one knew what was going on. As students were running to the gym everyone was panicking and pushing each other. John could feel the burn on his elbow but he didn’t know what it was. When everyone got to the gym John’s elbow was covered in blood. Everyone was told to get down and stay quiet. Later on coach told everyone a student brought a gun to school and was planning on committing suicide.
It was a peaceful and normal first hour. Well, at least for the people in it. Everyone was yelling, and the teacher had just given up on trying to stop them, and now was just browsing for a retirement home in Key West. I looked up at Jordan, who was my best and only friend. Her spiked blond hair was never put down, even in the toughest rain. Her tan legs sat on top of her desk, and her pine green eyes scanned the school newspaper.

Quickly Alfred ducks behind a wall hoping that Edgar does not find him. The bell for fifth lesson sounded twenty minutes ago, but that did not stop Edgar Balm, the son of South Shores Principal, Mrs Balm.
The book of Esther tells the faithfulness of one woman and her uncle. It is only one of two books that contain the heroism and bravery of a woman heroine. The story of Esther accomplishes two profound things, the first: “To demonstrate God’s providential care of his people, even those outside the land of Israel, and 2) to commend the observance of the feast of Purim by relating how it originated” (Breneman 289).Unlike the rest of the Bible the story of Esther does not directly state or talk about God, but instead shows God’s plans for all of our lives and how in all frightening moments of life, He remains faithful to those who trust and have faith in Him. “In spite of the omission of any name for deity, there is no other book in all the
Throughout time, people have attempted to destroy the nation of Israel, the “apple of God’s eye.” It was because from the Jews, came the covenants, promises, the law, and the messiah—the savior of the world. God’s chosen people are the enemy of Satan, the prince of this world, and the conflict started back in Genesis 3:15.
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.
