Paul walks to the bus stop after ending his day from kindergarten. Erik accompanies Paul at the bus stop, but not for long. Once Erik is with his friends, they turn around to Paul and start to harass Paul by making fun of his glasses. “Hey Eclipse Boy, how many fingers am I holding up? Erik and his friends laughed at the joke, then the bus doors opened and we all filed in,” (34).

Drew Jaymes is Peach Valley, Georgia’s bad boy. Orphaned at a young age and raised by his aunt. His dream of racing his passion, until he met a young woman with bright aqua eyes. One summer with her, his whole life changed. Nicole Bennett was part of a founding family of Peach Valley. A grandmother that was cold in life, yet was the only family she had once her parents had died in a car accident when she was a child of five. Her young life was spent in an all-girls school in Great Britain. Returning to Peach Valley before heading off to university, she met and fell in love with Drew and lost her innocence and her heart. Believing Drew’s love wasn’t real, she ran off to university and left Peach Valley, never wanting to return. Eleven years

The kids walked through Williamsburg wearing Johnny’s clothes and walking his dog. I loved Johnny I really did, said Genzales, his eyes heating up. That’s because you’re gay. I know you’re gay because you wouldn’t cut your hair to join the baseball league, replied Anthony, laughing. Anthony was vocally straight now that he had lost his virginity.

Whereas Connie is considered beautiful, June is seen as “plain and chunky” (496). Regardless of their differences, both girls have one thing in common, they both love to spend time with friends and Connie uses this to her advantage. On several occasions, a friend’s father has left them off at the mall, however once they arrive, Connie travels across the street “ to a drive-in restaurant where older kids hung out” ( 497). It is here that she comes into contact with her future assailant, but at the time she ignored his attention.

There had been enough time for something to change but almost everything was the exact same. Again Rye found herself travelling on a bus to go search for something, now knowing her brother is in fact dead she wasn 't exactly sure if what she was searching for was real. The only difference was that she now had the weight of two pre-teens. She felt it best for them to be as cautious as she had been while travelling around a decade ago. Each child had their own piece to communicate what their name was without using their words, it’s safer. Sitting on these benches Rye looked at them, the girl was the spitting image of her dead mother long curly dirty blond hair, a button nose, freckles, green eyes, and the perfect height for her age. Her was brother only slightly taller, with a darker skinned tone, and features almost exactly the opposite of his sister. The only feature similar was their hair texture. Rye would never admit this to anyone but there were times like the present that she regrets the events leading up to this very moment. The deja vu of running away except this time with hope.

She hates her life in the mall and often wants to just go home. At home, there are more problems to deal with. Her heartbroken newly single mother (point to Mother’s picture) made a new friend named Lydia (point to Lydia) who’s slowly changing Havens’ s mom. Haven’s mom is newly single because the man of her dreams, Mac McPhail (point to dad) had found the woman of his dreams, Lorna (point to Lorna), also known as the “weather pet” to Haven and her mother. Her dad has been a newscaster for the sports for years. no one suspected a thing until the new weather girl came and there was a lot of chemistry on set. (point to the news set) She also has an older sister who’s named (point to Ashley’s picture) Ashley who is shorter, curvalicious, and gets a lot of boy attention. Haven had gotten sick and tired of all of Ashley’s boyfriends. Haven feels very ugly and gigantic next to her sister (point to the picture of the to girls) Ashley had finally settled down with Lewis Warsher (points to Lewis), her fiance, who is boring compared to her sister’s audacious personality. Lewis and Ashley met in an ice cream shop and it was

After that day in Macon the four of them became closer to each other and remained best friends for a very long time. A few days later after the fire Jay and Anthony invited the girls to the skating rink. Samantha loaded up the fire extinguisher to play a prank on Anthony, but the prank did not work because he knew what she was doing. while they were at the skating rink Jay wanted to ask Kassady a very important question.

As Ray’s car disappeared around the corner, she darted back inside running upstairs to get ready. She hoped traffic would be mild today, and she wouldn’t be late as well. Frowning at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, it was unnerving how similar she was to Larissa Devereux, and not only in appearance. Was it due to a strong family connection? They could almost be identical twins. Their lives almost running a parallel pattern.

Have you ever had a friend that had a strange talent? Well Gone by Michael Grant starts a few of his chapters with characters learning they have these weird “enhancements” that could change their entire life. During the twenty-four chapters I have read this past week, a bunch of events has happened, which none of them were even close to being considered “tepid.” To summarize some of the main events, Emma and Anna, who are twin sisters, both disappeared on their fifteenth birthday; Sam learns that Caine is his brother and a multitude of other oh-my-god-what-will-happen-next ☺ situations. In this journal, I will be evaluating Sam’s search for love, truth, and identity.

I heard soft footsteps coming for my door. Knock, knock. “Come in,” I sighed. My mom opened the door and walked over to my bed. I could smell her sweet perfume, and was overwhelmed with a feeling of content. “Madison, my cell phone is out of minutes for the month and I need to call somebody about an ad on craigslist. It won’t be long, sweetheart.” Tony always paid her phone bill, and they were on the same contract. My feeling of content faded into disappointment. I argued with my mom for a short moment, and soon realized it was not worth it. I handed over my shiny, yet beat up purple flip phone. Mom, looking a little guilty, strolled out of my room. I decided to follow her so that I could help myself to some dinner. Holding my phone in her hand, my mom, almost skipping, made it down the stairs and out the front door in record time. “Why is she going outside to make a phone call?” I asked myself. I searched the fridge and the cupboards for any sign of food that actually looked good to me. I didn’t find anything, so I huffed to myself and turned out of the deserted kitchen and back up the stairs. Instead of going into my dreadfully boring room, I walked into my sister’s room. “Madison, what the hell? Why don’t you ever knock?” Sydnie asked, accusingly. “I’m sorry,” I wasn’t sorry, “I just can’t find anything to eat and I’m bored. And Mom is outside on the phone with some person about something. My phone.” Syd squinted at me with her soft blue eyes through her freshly dyed black hair and her heavy dark eyeliner. She had been busy typing away on the Acer laptop she’d gotten for Christmas months before. She took her eyes off me and focused back onto the screen of her laptop. I stood there in her doorway sluggishly for minutes before she finally lifted herself out of her twin size bed and made her way through her messy room. I can’t remember a time when Sydnie’s room was clean. She

Annie Dillard’s “ Total Eclipse “ depicts her own existential crisis while watching the 1979 solar eclipse. Using metaphors and Stream of Consciousness Writing she details her own dissociative hallucination.

As the bell rang for lunch, I got out of my seat and went to catch up with Trina, Jessica, and Danniele. When I saw her in the hallway, she was talking to the new kid. Danniele and I decided it was time to introduce ourselves. "Hi, I'm Danniele." "And I'm Nathaly." "Oh, call me Jimmy," he as I smiled and nodded. He continued to tell us things about himself, and we told him things about ourselves. When we walked into the cafeteria, he went to sit down with some guys in our class. As lunch continued, I couldn't shake up the feeling that I knew him, but I

They were bent over and digging through the guns we had brought. It looked like they might be making sre everything is loaded. Suddenly the mixture of songs stop and I flick my eyes back to Nick. He’s staring at a girl who is walking up to the bike racks, a bike handle in her hand as it drags behind her. She has brown that fades into a lighter clor as it reaches the tips. She’s skinny and has little curves, but they suit her more than bigger ones would. She looks over and makes eye contact with Nick. She’s gorgeous. Her cheekbones are high and her skin tone is pale, but there wasn’t much sun around this area. The only thing that seems wrong is the look in her eyes. Her brown eyes are dull, like she’s given up on hope, but she’s still going on. They are coated with thick confusion as she seems to question why we’re hear, but the hopelessness is definitley there. It looks like Nick notices it to because his eyes soften ans then they turn into a look of adoration. She turns away with a visible shutter and rushes into the

They had gotten married on a date unfamiliar to her now due to the lack of memory in the relationship. She was married to Devin Collins, who was the captain of the chess club back in high school and now a physical education teacher. He grew up a lot since high school, growing muscles, strength and an ego. Samantha had three children, two girls and one boy. The boy’s name was Charles. Being the only boy he was over glorified and forgiven for most of his life by his father. The two girls, Amanda and Christine, were a year apart and stellar students but received no recognition. Samantha herself was forced by Devin to quit her job at the hospital as a doctor because of the children, even though she was sure it was of status and jealousy. As bad as Samantha’s situation sounds, one thing keeps her going. And it is the guy at the coffee shop. She did not know his name but they had exchanged a few words. By her understanding, he was a sweet, 6 foot tall, blonde haired man who seemed genuinely excited to see her every morning. Now, Samantha was a beautiful, vibrant woman. She had beautiful red curls that framed her freckled face. She was 5 foot 11 and had curves in all of the right places. Even being 44 years old, she looked 22. And every morning she felt that way when she walked into that cafe and saw his smile widen as she walked in. He looked at her with such lust and joy that her heart skipped a beat when he looked at her. But on March 10th of 2016, they had more than an exchange of words. She woke up at 5 in the morning with the same skip in her step as she does every morning. Today she decided to dress down and to take her computer and online shop. She put her hair in a messy bun, put her glasses on, a big sweatshirt, some sweatpants and headed out the door. She walked out her building with a deep smile on her face as she bounced lightly on her feet down the stairs. She walked into the
