Times were tough when I was 8 years old. However, it was at this time that my mum decided that it would be best for us to move out from our house and change my schools. An obnoxious bar just completed construction across the road and the presence of such homeless and corrupt men would only hinder my growth. That is what my single mum, that had to look after me and my two sisters, thought. But then again, who would think that living in downtown alleyways would be a promising idea for a single mum with three kids.

As more time went on, I felt more sad about no friends, and less hopeful of having another friend. Although I tried to help Jordan’s grades raise, her grades fell like a skydiving anvil with no parachute.

“ And I thought you didn’t have it in you.” Beth smiled, but it was a smile Liz had never seen before it was like Beth finally had a real friend, and from there there was no turning back.

She also has to deal with the media coverage surrounding the quiz team. On page 242, Melody deals with the fallout of being the only Spaulding Street student featured in the local news after the contest. She resents the fact that her disability is the reason that she is singled out among her classmates when all she wants to do is be one of them. The other students resent the fact that they received no recognition because she was on the team. While some people may have been alright with that, Melody's classmates are not as forgiving.

The newspaper incident only served to widen the division between Melody and her teammates. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to fit in, some people still won't accept you because of your

She sat down on the bleachers on a bright sunny day and began to feel anxious as she thought about her results to see if she got accepted to Clark.

It’s as if time stood still and she was filled with her fears about getting into this school.

Sara, Bethany, and Tiffany became inseparable. These three had a friendship based on psychological closeness; they told each other everything and had an unwavering loyalty. They dealt with everything from problems with school and other friends together, all while sharing their thoughts and feelings.

However, she did see it happen with Tiffany because she moved to the neighborhood from a different state.

Gate was not pleased by her answer. Her frown deepened, the wrinkle between her brows only becoming more permanently etched into her face. A few of Lyla’s classmates giggled. Lyla hastily walked to her seat and sat down, burying her expression in her book. School used to be enjoyable when she was younger. Lyla used to have good relationships with her teachers and get excellent grades, but Lyla’s large circle of friends had a fallout, and Lyla had no one to support her with anything. Then, to make things worse, the resident mean girl of the school decided that Lyla was to be her next target, although that was partially Lyla’s fault. Eventually, Lyla just stopped trying in school, preferring to exist in her daydream. It was a better life that she imagined, one where her problems were solved by a smarter, prettier, and more confident version of

Although Ashley has these qualities, Tara’s qualities and similarities are placed on the back burner due to the fact that she is withdrawn and timid. Because Tara does not open herself up to be known, Ashley’s comfortableness with herself allows her to soar through the ranks with her peers. In my examination, Ashley just pretends to keep this image alive so that others will think so highly of her while Tara genuinely have these qualities but they are overlooked. Furthermore, maybe if Tara made herself open she would not have been rejected as she was and probably would have been as popular and socially competent as

It was February 4, 2015 when the world around our community flipped upside down for a few days. A time that was so surreal for the families and friends for Breanna Nicole Rodriguez. To some, she is the light; she is the image of love for everyone in her life. Others see her as the young girl who had her life taken from her at an early age. And others still see her as the young girl that was always the life of the party; with a couple of beers in her hand and no care in the world. I had the chance to know Breanna for more than half of my life and I see her from every aspect. She was and still is the light to many lives; the crazy party girl who had her life taken away so quick and easy. Despite the negative impact her death had on many lives,

Aspyn closed her door and sat in her front seat as she started to feel uneasy. She thought, Do I really want to go to this party? I just need a break for once. But she knew that she did not want to feel left out. Quickly, Aspyn turned on her car and started on her way home. The sun felt like a warm hug as is shined on her face. She just wanted to get home. She tried not to think too much because every time she started to her mind was filled with thoughts of her dad and how much she missed him. She pushed her emotions away because she was always known as the happy friend and didn’t want that to change. Inside she was broken and trying to hide it didn’t make anything
