What does that even say? Is that a 6 or an 8? Geez, I really need glasses. I raise my hand. “Mr. Phillip, may I please sit closer to the board?” He looks at me and gives a small pathetic sigh. ‘Huh.’ I roll my eyes. “Crystal, I’m sorry but no. You’ve asked me this question before, and don’t think I can’t see your motives. I know you just want to sit by your little friend, Kendall. So please stay where you are. And do NOT roll your eyes at me.” Finally the bell rings after 45 long excruciating minutes of boring math class. I hate math, it’s so boring, and not mention, the unpleasant Mr. Phillip teaches it. He hates me. Why? I don’t know why, that really is the million dollar question, isn’t it? But he should like me, I’m actually really good …show more content…
We walk through the glass doors and are standing inside the ugliest decorated room I’ve ever seen. Cat pee yellow carpet, booger green walls covered with pictures made with finger paints, and chairs that have cheetah prints, zebra prints, and even polka dots! Oh my gosh, this room really needs some work done. The receptionist checks us in, and let me tell you, she looks like she lives in this room. Her outfit is atrocious. Black flats, frizzy blonde hair, a lime green turtleneck with a polka dotted vest, and even a striped black and white skirt! And just to top it off, bright pink lipstick on her two front teeth. The doctor calls us back, “Crystal?” We walk back with the doctor, oh man, this lady looks even worse than the receptionist! She looks like a clown from the circus without a big red nose. She’s wearing a coat covered in glimmering sequins, striped pants of many colors, shoes too big for her feet, I’d assume, because she keeps knocking things over, and even a sparkly shirt. Oh, and her makeup is interesting, blue eyeshadow, bright red lipstick, and even blush. Way too much …show more content…
These are personally my favorite choice for you, and the only one’s in your prescription level!” I don’t know what to say. I hate these glasses, but I really would hate to hurt her feelings. But what about everyone at school. What will they think? “Well they definitely are different!” She looks at me smiling big and holding them out for me to try on. I take them and try them on. I slip them over my ears and onto the bridge of my nose. Wow! These are amazing, I can see perfectly now. “I think they’re great! I’ll get them.” We go up to the front desk again, and pay $75 with our credit card for the glasses and we’re out of there! They give me the black case to keep my glasses and some spray and a little wipe to go along with tit to clean off my glasses lens. “So, mom. What do you think of my new glasses?” She looks at me as she starts the car, then looks up at my glasses. She suppresses a smile and says, “Well if you can see the boards at school, then I love them!” A flash of bright red flashes before my eyes with a small beeping noise, beep beep! Hm, what in the world was that? “Ah! Mom, did you just see that?” “See what
“Why don't you change out of those clothes, the skirt's seen better days,” she says, allowing her gaze to travel the length of my body.
“Of course, but we wary about topics with Ms.Jones, she's in a troubling place right now. Room 214.”
"No problem, V," Marcie said, nervously trying to wave the gratitude away, but failing to fight the pink creeping across her
As I’ve grown up I don’t remember a time in which reading was enforced. Maybe only once or twice my parents would make me read the Spanish newspaper but that was it. I grew up to be in 3rd grade when my neighbor suggested that I read to her every day after school. That’s when I learned how to be expressive in my reading. Getting out of the habit of skipping the crucial period pauses and taking my time without being so monotone.
Stomping up the stairs Nia yells, “ You’re not the boss of me!” And slams her bedroom door shut. Heavily breathing Nia grasped for air. Trying to control her breathing, she places her hand on her chest. Tears ride down her face quickly like a river flow. Not knowing how to stop Nia constantly wipes her face.
“It felt like … like… it was real” he whispered. He began patting his upper body checking for bullet wounds.
The air was cold in the hospital room tickling the back of my throat as I breathed it in.
I was searching through my closet for a nice dress to wear when I heard a knock on my door. I turned around to see my mother leaning in my doorway.
I suddenly woke up, in the hospital, all I could think was, “What happened?” There was no one with me.
Jon had looked at Spike rather strangely when the dragon introduced himself. With a polite chuckle, he said, "In a manner of speaking... I'm the author." Of many things, including the dragon standing before him. However, Spike was quite a bit taller than he had envisioned in his detailed writings of Ponyville. It was the first blight on his otherwise perfect rendering of the town.
Narrative writing retells an experience that has been life changing in some way. That means that the subject can be a moment in which you learned something about yourself, about life, or had something frightening happen to you that has changed your point of view. In the sample essays provided, I read about experiences with racism, police brutality, and domestic violence.
“ You should put them away now, before you forget, I don’t want to come back up here and see the pile growing and then it’s all over your floor.” The teasing tone of her voice is not mistaken. I give a small nod in confirmation. Which it seems to be good enough for her because she leaves. She leaves. Apart of me wanted her to see me like this….broken. I wanted to tell her how much I hate the way I look, but I won’t because I want her to think of me as strong. The daughter she always wanted who’s confident and strong. I Imagine what it was like for her to hold me in her arms for the first time and watch me grow up into a beautiful, smart women, I don’t want her to know that her daughter hates herself and feels worthless. I could never put her through that.
over to the table, “he’s just frustrated and embarrassed because his little sister is going to be in the same grade as him.” She smirks at me, and I can’t help but smile and chuckle back. Being a child grandma meant that not only do I look like a grandma, but I also have the knowledge and wisdom of an 80 year
“Damn, she’s good,” Gladio complimented under his breath with an impressed look. “Guess one of us gotta get glasses.”
“Hmmm,” Annistynn picked up the pair of earrings and examined them, “I don’t know McKenna I feel like she already has enough earrings, what if we go to the house decor department and find some decorations she’d like?”
