I wake up just enough to roll over. As I do so, the annoying, repetitive sound of my alarm clock fills my ears. I groan and roll myself out of bed. I trudge over to my dresser and turn the alarm off. I don 't feel like going to school today, especially since I know that Dad will be calling Mom while I 'm gone. As I walk to the bathroom, I grab my phone from my desk. I see that I have two new messages and one new email. I read the first message, which is from my mom, telling me that she 'd be gone

"He 's down," JJ announced exhaustedly as she closed the door. "How was he?" Will asked, turning his bedside lamp on. Jennifer shrugged as she kicked her slippers under the bed. Her and Will 's two week old son, Alex, had been quite fussy all evening, and JJ was determined to get him to sleep through the night for the first time. "Hungry," she said softly, adjusting her shirt. "Very hungry." "You gotta treasure this stuff, Cher," Will told her. "He won 't be a baby forever." JJ sighed. "I know

We 're all Haitian in my family. It 's not a big family, but we 're happy when we are together. My parents are very strict, I could say that it 's in our culture, but not all Haitian parents are strict. It 's just the way Haitians are. Heritage? I don 't think I have that in my family, except soils, animals like ducks, donkey, cow, and houses my grand-grandfather left before he died, but we don 't care that much. They 're not that important because all they bring is trouble in families. Education

You walk down the staircase hearing the creak of the wood as your foot hits each stair. You stop, waiting, thinking that you will hear a door bust open, a car door slam but silence, not a single soul moves. You want to know how your life will change when you walk through that door, who will hate you or love you, yet you can’t time travel, you can’t do much in fact, but the one thing you can do is change the way a page of your life will be engraved into your story... Two Days Earlier: “Becca

“Morning mom!” Morning AJ! Breakfast is on the table.” No thanks mom I think I will pass.” “Alright suit yourself. ………….....AT SCHOOL………………… When I arrived at school all I heard were people talking about some sort of party...but i couldn’t really understand them, they were not talking as loud as usual. “AJ!” Um who is calling my name I thought to myself? “AJ… OVER HERE!” Then finally I got the courage to turn around to see who it was. OMG guess who it was?!? It was my best

The clackety clack sound of horse hooves and a jingling harness drew Allie’s attention to the street below; she watches as Eli alights from the Harris family carriage and tells the driver, George, to pick him up in two hours. Always courteous and a proper Southern gentleman, Eli never stayed longer than two hours, which was the appropriate amount of time allowed for visiting with friends and family, otherwise, he said, you might wear out your welcome. It took several minutes before Eli reached the

One of the best things about the location of my office building was its proximity to Food Alley. It’s a quaint little street where all the restaurants, mostly catering to a lunch crowd were on. With it only being a few blocks away, there was no need to use transportation, but when it rained, the subway across the street from my building to the center of Food Alley is available. With it being a nice sunny morning, and there was no rush. I let my mind drift with my stupidity with asking Sasha out where

The darkness was slowly devouring my body. All that surrounded me was an empty room and dead silence. I held on to my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks. I dug my nails into the palm of my hand, trying to control the unbearable pain in my chest. The images of her face appeared in my mind. Horns popped out of her head; a tail crawled out from behind her; and a wicked grin crept across her face. Her smile grew wider the moment her claws ripped off my wings and any chance of escaping the depths of

Chapter One I had enough of all the bad things in my life. “Mikena, time to go to school.” My mom said. I grabbed my small, mint green backpack and I went out the front door. My dad was waiting outside. He gave me a kiss on the forehead. I felt like a princess at that moment. My dad went inside the car and I started walk to school. My dad is going to his workplace which is a restaurant. I arrived at my school in less than ten minutes. That’s a new record. I saw Alicia with her friends on

and what can happen and all that, and he also read many books because he couldn 't do anything else in his house. For my assistance most of my friends, as well as family encouraged me to do cheer because they thought it would be something that would be good for me to do. It was funny though because a lot of people could not believe that I actually wanted to do cheer. Both of our assistances are similar as well because people helped us and explained things that we needed to know. Now, I am going to
