Kaitlyn: A Fictional Narrative

We’re trying to figure out what we are going to do. Sitting in silence, we are both thinking of ideas of how to get home. It’s probably about 11 o’clock, it was super dark, and finally Hannah came up with a good idea so we could get back home.

And then she turned to me. I felt special that she had saved me for last. I smiled at her, and she did the same to me. We had grown inseparable over the past few years especially, but now it was time to say goodbye. I knew at that point that nothing at all would change, that we would still be sisters, still be best friends, still be inseparable. Who cares if we’re 5 ½ hours away? This was us.

She opened the bag and pulled out her phone and headphones, connecting the two quietly. She slid the headphones over her ears as she pressed the play button on her music playlist.

Becca 's Story by James D. Forman The Plot: Throughout the story there were several incidents of suspense that revealed the characters. One incident of suspense was when the Confederate army was fighting the Union army at the battle of Gettysburg. Their were brigades along the woods to hold the opposing army off. Alex and Charlie could do nothing but watch because it was such a spectacle. The others were advancing towards the boys and they were silently praying to themselves that they would stop before they reached them. They didn 't stop though and the boys had to charge. They were reloading, shooting, tearing cartridges with their teeth, and sheltering. The whole time they were being fired at and dodging the fire. By this time Colonel

The days of my life, in 6th grade, in school , I have no friends. Most of my friends don’t remember. Then one early Friday morning, I was happy, because I get to go on the weekends and relax, but I had to go through the bad stuff. When the supervisors open the doors, I got ran over by the kids. Then, kids at breakfast kept on taking my food to play basketball by throwing the food in the trash cans. Then my teacher for ELA and Social Studies move me to a new seat.

I knew the groom-to-be, but I didn’t know his fiancé very well. I thought her name was Missy. Missy sounded familiar, so that is the name I put on the card. To Paul and Missy.

Once I got there, I heard my Mom yelling my name to come back. I bitterly walked back to my campsite. ”Mom I want to hang out with Ashley” I dolefully said.

I remember the weekend we first got Jenna like it was yesterday. I had been begging for a dog for a million years and my mom finally let me get one. Don’t tell Jenna this, but she wasn’t my first pick for a dog. Actually, I never even thought I’d get her.

“These are the moments I wanted when I booked this trip.” I said. I looked at Jess. I was overcome with happiness, and I was glad I was not alone. I leaned in and-

So, she got a knife and tried to hit her with the knife. Renee stated that she asked Courtney was she trying to hit Glenda with the knife or stab her with the knife, and she replied stab her with the knife. Courtney stated that during her attempt to stab Glenda she told her that she was just going to end it for the both of them. She then stated that she tried to stab herself but Glenda took the knife from her. Courtney stated that she felt so bad after the incident, and she knew that she could go to jail for attempted murder. Courtney then told Renee that she would rather live in Alabama with her aunt Vivien, Ginger, and her brother Taylor because Glenda does not understand her. Courtney also told Renee that if Glenda found out that she told any of the staff members anything she would get into trouble. Courtney also told Renee that when her father (Brian) found out about the incident he was not mad at her he just hugged tight.

"I'm on my way." I stated subtly, I wasn't even thinking about the seriousness of the situation. i finally reached my house.

One reason this trip was so memorable to me was because of the old friendships that were strengthened and new friendships that were formed. Danielle and I already had an exceptional friendship because we had gone to school together since third grade. Sophia and I were undoubtedly great friends as well, given the fact we have known each other since birth. So, I already knew the two of them really well. Being that Danielle and Sophia had never made acquaintances, it was a little rough for them at first. But, within a few hours they had become, indeed, wonderful friends.
