Short Story

Carmen laughs and say. “I just told you why I have to go”, said Carmen. ”Why you treating Carmen like that”, said Brooklyn? This whole conflict turned into something it wasn’t. People who were in the park turned around and started looking and staring, and some even might have pulled out their phones. “ This is not called for”, said Carmen. The general manager over the whole park heard and saw the fuss and went over there to see what was going on. “ What seems to be the problem”, said general manager. “I have finals today, and Miss manager here is making me late”, said Carmen. “First, She was talking to me telling me that she was getting ready to go, so I can take her last hour and Ms. Manager came over to her with a mean look on her face; starting trouble”, said Brooklyn. “School come first Carmen, it’s okay go and take your finals, good luck baby girl”, said general manager. “ And for you manager, stop being mean to your co-workers loosen up a little bit ”, said general manager. Manager rolled her eyes and walked

However, the class environment is much different which causes Charlotte to change the way that she views her extravagant teacher. The new classroom could be described to have an environment that was based upon hostility and disdain. Miss Hancock is the new target of mockery, she is given no respect. Charlotte begins to take part in the antics of her new class. Miss Hancock raises her arms and a boy yells “‘let us pray’”. (5) Laughter exploded within the room and Charlotte joined as she “snickered fiercely” (5) behind her duo tang folder. The pressure of the entire class laughing has an impact on Charlotte that causes her to disrespect Miss Hancock by joining in. The new environment is beginning to cause Charlotte to change the way that she had initially treated Miss Hancock. Furthermore, the new student-created environment causes Charlotte to fear speaking to Miss Hancock publicly. As a result of this, Charlotte arranges to speak to Miss Hancock after class as she “wanted to be sure that [the conversation] would not be witnessed.” (5) The new environment has pressured Charlotte into avoiding contact with Miss Hancock as she likely wants to avoid being also mocked by her classmates. The class has changed Charlotte’s character by indirectly causing her to fear interacting with Miss

It was September, the start of her senior year. Evelyn woke up at the crack of dawn as her routine dictated, completely rested and ready for her first day of her senior year at Cross Point High. The young woman combed her short hair into place, styling it back into her smooth bob and brushing some of her

As Angelica confidently strolled into Rosario High, Eliza and Peggy, her sisters followed close behind. Angelica had been at the school before, because she'd been taking a bus over to the high school for her advanced math class all throughout eighth grade. Eliza, however, had never been inside the building before and felt incredibly small walking in. Peggy wasn't even supposed to be there. She should've been in eighth grade, but she skipped it and went straight to high school. She was very smart, but no one ever noticed. She was always just Angelica and Eliza's sister. They made their way down wing 1B in search of their lockers. Peggy stopped at her locker, number ninety six, while Angelica and Eliza looked for their own. Angelica finished her search at locker number seventy stuff. Eliza found hers a bit farther down, locker 46. While she began to unpack her books, she saw four boys making their way down the hallway. One was the famous jock, Lafayette. No one knew his real name except teachers, because he insisted that it was to long to use. His friend, another jock who was very smart, however, Hercules Mulligan followed him down the hall. John Laurens, who was decent at sports, but more of a science guy was with them, too. Following them was the mystery man, Alexander Hamilton. He was in their grade, but barely anyone knew anything about him. Eliza figured he was just another jock.

The hallways of Central High School were filled with greetings and decorated with friendly smiles as Stephanie Herron entered the crowded campus. As the Central High “Golden Girl” and Junior Student Body President, everyone naturally admired her: teachers, students, parents. A smaller, less noticeable figure walked alongside the idol. Although vice-president Maria Anderson was as popular as Stephanie, she always felt a twinge of jealousy when Stephanie was given more attention than her. Whatever Stephanie had, it was everything Maria had wished for. Whether it was something as big as popularity or something as small as getting the last fry at lunch. Stephanie was always the star and Maria was just the mere sidekick.

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.

Miss Hartick had devised a special detention. She almost regretted the way she had supported Shelly since it turned out to be so difficult. That difficulty was why she had to do it though. She had to teach the boys that the girls were their equals. She had meant to keep it professional and somewhat private, but the boys couldn’t seem to cooperate. They all refused to act casual. They wanted to keep Shelly from doing her job. Miss Hartick had to force them past the sexist barriers that kept their clothes on. If that meant taking things farther than she planned, then so be it.

The Superintendent walked solemnly down the dimly lit hallway. The vast walls of lockers gave him an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, eating away at his soul like acid eating away metal. The psychologically effects transmitted to his outer body, causing him to halt to an abrupt stop. Standing like a deer in headlights, his mind was instantaneously flooded with brisk images of the once flourishing hallways. He stifled a faux smile, composed himself, and erratically walked into the main office, where he prepared to apologetically deliver the final afternoon announcement of the High School’s history. Alone¬¬––later in his office, another pang of dense, impenetrable darkness suffocated him and he let out a cry of resignation. He put his chapped

After we got back to the classroom, Mrs. Price called me up to her desk. “Rachel, I cannot believe you started a food fight in the middle of the cafeteria!” she exclaims. I told her all about Phyllis and Sylvia’s plan to embarrass me, and what Phyllis had said about me.

Isabel sat at the back corner next to a window and the chalkboard. “Now class, what did we do at PE today?” Many kids jumped in their seats hoping to be called on. “Please sit children we are not wild animals. Now Kennedy what did we do in PE?” Kennedy politely and quietly said, “Today at PE we played kickball. We played The Cobras and won 15 to 9.” “Thank you Kennedy. Now we will go to our lockers for the end of the day. Please don’t slam your lockers or talk too much.”

When Leila went back to school for her final year of high school she saw that construction had been done over the summer. When she walked past the gym, she saw a door with a pair of plaster ballet shoes mounted above it. A familiar smile crossed her face. She might be able to go back

When most people at East Langford Highschool hear Francis Davis name they will make a face and this face will stay inside of your head. Francis had the worst reputation around school. Nobody could say anything to Francis without their feelings getting hurt from her sharp remarks. As Francis walks out the front door of East Langford High School, she has her two sidekicks by her side- Isabelle and Penelope. These girls didn’t have the best reputation neither. The girls walks to Francis home while sharing a cigarette. “ What are yall trying to get into before the day is over,” asked Penelope? Penelope was always the one trying to do something reckless. “Anything, it doesn’t even matter,” agreed Francis and Isabelle. As the girls approached Francis

On Monday, January 11 2016 my fall break was over and I found myself back in at internship at Leland elementary. After almost three weeks of vacation time I must say I was not ready for the event that was about to take place that day. Around noon in one of the classrooms I was alerted of the disruptive behavior of some of the students in that class. As I walked in the class I noticed to young ladies in each other faces saying vigor language and within seconds they were fighting.

The year was 1949 and there was a blur of green and blue passing by the window of a Cadillac 2-door automobile. It was a darling shade of eggshell white. In the sleek vehicle held a happily married couple and they were on their way to their nation’s capital of Washington D.C. . Elizabeth Diane Winters had the car window rolled down with her right hand hanging out, her fingers fluttering in the wind. This was their first honeymoon even though she and Adam had been together for about 3 years. They had had a shotgun wedding due to them both being called to serve for their country, and Elizabeth was excited to spend this time with Adam. They had already been in the area for a few days and had taken up residence at a lovely bed and breakfast in Williamsburg, Virginia.
