Jordan was crying throughout the whole phone call. Then shortly after, Jayden’s skin turned very pale and slowly his breath shortened, until he couldn’t breath anymore and he died a slow, painful death. It all started one day when 4 college students Jordan, Jayden, Karen, and Gerald, decided to take

Let me tell you about a day that I had! It was one of those emotional roller coaster-type deals. By the end of the day, I was drained physically and emotionally. I didn 't know if I was coming or going, I was a total wreck. Some things I 'm used to happenin’ but when foolishness gets involved; well, that 's when the shit hits the fan.

I woke up that morning, the same as any other. Still in that blank old hospital room, the same stiff hospital bed with the little red button to signal the nurse when I woke up or needed help. I pressed the button and heard Lilly coming down the quiet hallway. The door creaked open slowly and Lilly peaked her head in the room, “Good Morning Noah.” She’s always so smiley and sunshiney, she’s the only nurse like that here. “Ready to get dressed and get some of that delicious breakfast you love so much

“I’m different because everyone else is not me.” This as written by Julian Aguilar, a famous screenwriter for Hollywood films. It was my first day at a real school, preschool doesn’t count, and I was starting first grade, since I skipped kindergarten. It wasn’t always easy being the youngest in your entire grade, and sometimes, the whole school, but I made it through and even got into GATE.

I could hear her weeping from the other side of the door now. My mother’s loud crying was only interrupted by the broken speech she tried to spit out between her sobs. The dimly lit, cramped waiting room mixed the sounds of despair with some poor rendition of Chopin that blared intrusively from the perches of a pair of cheap speakers in the corner. On a short wooden table there sat a couple of magazines advertising the new happenings within the lives of people I did not care about. Next to that was
