Jacob's Room

I Still remember that day so well, the day when my perfect life ended, The day it was hard to breath. A couple of days ago, I was 15 and had that thought that I had the world figured out, Was most likely to be valedictorian, was the star quarterback on my school's football team, and of course had the most loving parents I could ever wish for. But that day It was a cooler day in late March. The wind was blowing softly, and the air felt dense in that airport. Lukas, my brother, was on his phone; while

When I used to live in Trinidad, I can remember when I was six years old in elementary school. My teacher, Ms. Brown, told the class, “We are going on a fieldtrip." The class was filled with exhilaration we cheered aloud. I, on the other hand knows what that mean a beginning of my very first treasure hunt. Ms. Brown passed out our consent forms to take home to our parents to sign. I couldn't wait to get home to give my mother the form. After school, my school van picked me up, and I anxiously

Ava stepped out on the porch, waiting for her. As Dahlila straightened out the inside of her car, the other girl came to the porch, giving Ava an odd look as she bent to pick something up. “Sorry. I’m just getting my backpack. I was out collecting flowers for a project and the woods here has an abundance of them.” Ava turned to her with a straight brow, wondering why the hell she was apologizing, and this returned her an uncomfortable look. She turned to look back at Dahlila, to avoid from worrying

white shirt on and navy pants. The woman looked up and yelled , “What’s your name, what category are you in?” My dad said, “Her name is Lily Huston and she is in the dance category.” We drove through the large white gateway and went to the dance dorm room location. There were large beautiful bushes and bright blue hydrangeas. They parked in the driveway and my dad said softly and a little bit teary eyed, “I will miss you over the summer. I hope you have a good time and be safe. Don’t fall, don’t get

explain the feeling. My mom had it pretty rough and was going down hill. Then one day My dad decided to to get a dog I was sceptical initially but I agreed to it. I was lying on the couch a few days after it had happened, my dad came into the living room to talk to me. He told me that he thinks we should get a puppy so that my mom has something to do all day while he is at work and we are at school. I was hesitant to answer him right away. The first thoughts that went through my head were mostly things

bathroom, and living room. And on the outside of the house in Jonesboro, it is really busy and lots of traffic but most of the traffic is at five o'clock rush hour. It is a really busy town and a big town. But It has always just been us and that is just the way we have always lived. I had my own room, my sister Breanna and Autumn shared a room because my sister Autumn decides she was going to be moving out soon, and my parents shared a room. And my baby sister put her stuff in there room to but my baby

silent patio's whiteness -friezes, columns, and marble statues- gave the autumnal impression of an enchanted palace. Inside, the glacial brilliance of stucco and the totally bare walls reenforced the feeling of unpleasant cold. On crossing from one room to the next, the echo of footsteps reverberated all through the house, as if long years of neglect had sensitized their resonance. Alicia spent her entire autumn in this strange love-nest. But she had determined to cast a veil over her dreams of

come on in!” shouts my grandma excitedly. She gives them all kisses on the cheek and then my cousins and I run upstairs to the kitchen, away from all the loud noise. We all have three big grins on our faces when my brother comes in from the living room. He also is smiling and takes ashton in to the garage to play with the legos. Meghan and I await the rest of our family in the kitchen window. More people start showing up and my little cousin Kearson arrives. The garage in full of all sorts of voices

got to school we all wanted to go to our room because the ball did not ring yet. I am always the first one in the room. We started with watching the announcements. The anauments usually saw what's for lunch and other stuff that I don't pay attention to. After anuments are teacher said that it is time to go to PE. we played backboard dodgeball it was fun. After PE we went back to are room and we hade math class and for math class we went to different room to a different 5th grade teacher. We headed

“Come on Ava!” yelled an excited Sophia from downstairs. I dragged my suitcase out of my room. It was half way through the year and our mother had decided to ship us off to a boarding school for girls. “Ava!!!!” Sophia was an incredibly adventurous person. I on the other hand would like a nice relaxing day reading a book and leaving the adventures to the characters in my stories.
