  The Mystery Kill

      By: Lilly Anne Cooper

One day Serena and her mom were preparing for a football game party. They soon realized they would not have enough food for the party. 

Her mom said,”Go and buy some popcorn from the store. Make sure you get enough for everyone at the party.” 

“OK,” replied Serena,”I will be back.”

  Serena then went to the store while her mom stayed home and finished getting ready for the party. While Serena was in the store she met her friend Blair. 

`“Hi!” said Serena, “How are you?”

“Fine.” Blair responded. “How about you?”

“I am fine, just picking up some popcorn for the party. Will I see you there?”

“ I don’t know yet. I am not feeling the greatest.”

“Aww. Well I hope you feel better. Anyways I have to get going. Bye!”

“Yup,bye.”

Serena then finished getting popcorn from the store and headed home. On her way home she ran into Chuck and his friend group. She hates them. As soon as she saw him she ran the other way and hid in a nearby bush and overheard them talking.

` “I heard Serena is having a party this afternoon. I wonder why we didn’t get invited. I wonder why?” said Chuck.

“Maybe we should crash it.”

“Bro,that’d be fire!!”

“I know right. Does anyone know what time it starts?”

“Umm… I think it starts at 7:00?”

“Ya, that sounds right. Let’s go so we can plan.”

After they left, Serena came out of the bushes and ran home.

As soon as she got home she told her mom what she had heard. 

Her mom told her,”Oh dear! We must not let that happen. I’ll call Chuck’s mother. She can then deal with him”

“OK.” said Serena.

They then continued to get ready for the party.

People then started to show up and Serena turned on the football game. She then went to talk to her friend Blair.

“Hey, Serena!” said Blair.

“Hey! What do you think of the party?”replied Serena.

“It’s pretty nice.”

“Thanks! Hey, if you see Chuck or his gang here let me know please.”

“Why?”

“Because when I was on my way home from the store I heard them saying they were gonna crash the party. When I came home and told my mom she said ‘I’ll call Chuck’s mother. She can then deal with him.’ and I’m hoping that no matter what they don’t show up.”

“Ya, that’s fine. I will let you know if I see them.” 

“Thanks Blair!”

“No problem.” replied Blair.

A while later Chuck and his gang arrived uninvited. Serena went up to Chuck.

“Why are you here Chuck? I heard you from the bushes by the supermarket and how you were gonna crash my party.”

“You were the one who tattled on me to my mom. You will regret that.” replied Chuck.

“I hope you know that if you even attempt to do anything bad I will call the cops.”

“Oh crap,” Chuck said sarcastically,”like that ever stopped me.”

“Yes I know. But I also know how scared you are of your mom.”

“Umm? What are you talking about?” Carrot said nervously.

His mom then arrives.

“CHUCK STEVEN ROGERS!! GET YOURSELF IN MY CAR RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN!!” yelled Chuck’s mom.

“OK, mom!!”

“Good,” said his mom,”I hope you do.”

After Chuck left, the party moved on and everyone enjoyed themselves. All of the sudden there was yelling and screaming. Serena rushed over to see what all the commotion was about and she saw her best friend Blair lying there dead with a cheese spreader stabbed at her side.

“AAAAH!!!!” Serena screamed. “Mom! Somebody! Call 911!! Hurry!!”

“What? What’s going on?” Serena’s mom said as she called 911.

Paramedics then arrive at the same time as Blair’s parents walk in.

“Oh my!” Blair’s mom said faintly. “Oh dear!!” she said as she fainted.

  A Couple Of Weeks Later

It was now the day her funeral and everyone was wearing all black and were sad and droopy. 

“Serena !! Come on, we have to get going. We’re gonna be late!” said Serena’s mom.

“I’m coming Mom!” Serena said as she ran down stairs to the kitchen.

At the funeral Serena went to find Blair’s parents and she said her condolences.

“I’m so sorry for your loss. I really hope they find who did this.” said Serena.

“You’re the one who did this! You ungrateful spoiled little murderer!!” yelled Blair’s parents.

“I would never do that and you should know  that by now. She was my best friend.” replied Serena as she started sobbing.

After the funeral Serena had to go to the police station and get an interview done.

“Did you tell them everything sweetheart? Even what Blair’s mom said?” Serena’s mom said as she saw Serena leaving the interview room.

“Yes mom. I did.”

“OK, good.” replied her mom.

The next day Serena’s mom got a call from Blair’s mom saying that when she was going through Blair’s room she found a suicidal note in her diary it read,

Dear whoever finds this. I’m sorry. I just couldn’t bear the pain anymore. To prove that I am writing this I will give you date time and how I did this to myself. I did this to myself on November 16, 2017 at about 1:30 PM. You found me lying on my bed with a rope around my neck. I’m so sorry Mom and Dad. On the next page there is another note. I want you to give it to Serena, my dearest friend. Again I’m so sorry. If you want to know why I hid another note in my room somewhere. I will not give away where it is because I want Serena to find it. I hope you forgive me.(: 

Yours truly,

Blair

Serena then realized that Blair planned on killing herself after the party. She had to go find that letter in Blair’s room. She then went to Blair’s house and knocked on the front door. Blair’s father opened the door.

“Come quickly. I don’t want her to find out you were here.” 

“Why?” said Blair.

“Because she hates you!” he said, surprised. “Do you not remember what she said to you at Blair’s funeral?” he asked.

“Yes, I do. And I understand why you want me to hurry. So I will hurry.”

“Have fun then. Er, I don’t really know what to say. Good luck?” He said confused.

“It’s fine.”

She then went to Blair’s room and right away went to look under her bed. There she found an envelope named Serena. Serena then opened it and it read.

Dear Serena, I figured that this would be the first place you would look. You may think that this will tell you why I committed suicide but it’s not. I know that you like mysteries so I put some hint cards around. So here is your first clue.

I’m part of something tall and blue, that is why I chose this clue. I can be soft and fuzzy or or just plain muddy but you should know they keep me warm when I’m in a winter storm.

Serena read the riddle again and again. She then decided to try and figure it out by going piece by piece. She then figured that Blair was probably referring to her dresser in the first sentence. She then tried to think of what was soft and fuzzy. She got it! It was her sock drawer. She ran over and opened the drawer to find another clue.

I’m filled with clothes, but I’m not a drawer, waiting for someone to open my door. 

Serena got it right away; it was her closet. When she opened it, sure enough there was a note.

You figured out the other clues, now I’m in the blues.

Serena I figured this was gonna be a little harder so I am giving you a hint. I go there when I’m sad.P.S. This is the last clue.

Serena thought for a moment and ran to the attic. It was where Blair liked to hang out. Serena knew Blair liked to hide behind all of her stuffed animals that were in the attic when she was sad. So she moved the stuffies and found a lock box, but it was not locked. She opened it and found a letter, Blair’s favorite stuffed animal, some candy and a little wrapped box. Serena decided to open the letter first.

You did it Serena!  Now you are probably wanting to know why I killed myself. So here it is. The reason I did it was because of my mom. She always doubted me and made me do things that I didn’t want to do. Like for example, She tried making me sell my favorite stuffed animal and you know how much I love him that is why I included him in this box. Now please open the present.

Serena listened and opened the present. It was a locket necklace with a picture of her and Blair. When Serena saw it she broke down in tears. She then wiped her eyes, picked up the box of things and headed downstairs. On her way down she stopped in the bathroom and quickly washed her face. As she was washing her face she realized that the party was on the 15 and the letter said it was on the 16. She was confused that maybe she just decided to do it earlier. But she didn’t think that was the case. She took all of the letters to the police station and told them everything that she thought of. The police were very confused and decided to investigate further. 

The Winning Shot

The Winning Shot

By Johnson the III

The ball gets passed to me, now it’s up to me to shoot the winning goal, I shoot and I- (A few days earlier) I’m James, a 13 year old normal kid in school with nothing good going on in my life. I only have two friends, George and Bob. I get made fun of for being A ginger so it kinda sucks but I’m used to it now, I really just want to play a sport so I look around the school for sign up sheets.  George, Bob and I are walking around for sports sign up and we come across Kevin.

“What’s up, losers?” Kevin said.

“Leave us alone, Kevin,” I said.

Kevin kicks me right in the shin and I fall on the floor and start holding my shin.

“That really hurt, Kevin,” I explained.

“Down the hall is soccer sign up.  Go there and face me.  There’s a few days until the first game.  If you beat me, I won’t mess with you anymore.”


“Fine, we will.”


George, Bob and I walked towards the papers to sign up.  After signing up, the bell rings and school ends.  I walked home and got on my laptop to study soccer.  

“I should practice.  Maybe I should buy some equipment like a soccer ball and a small net to practice accuracy,” I said to myself.

As I walked to the store, I hoped the equipment was in my budget.  So I walked into the store and went to the sports section, I found the soccer ball and net and, to my surprise, it was in my budget.  I grab the equipment and go to the cashier.

“Just these?” the cashier asked.

“Yes, this will be all.”

“Alrighty, that’ll be $23.67.”

“Okay.”

Pulls out the money and gives the cashier the money.

“Here you go.”

“Thanks, have a great day and please come again.”

“You too and I will come again.”

I walked out of the store and walked home and set up the net, pulling out the ball.  

“Ok, time to practice.”

I shoot and miss.

“Dang it, I’m not good.  I need more practice.  I’m going to study some more.”

I pull out my phone to study more and I see for most accuracy, you want to use the inside of the foot and for a stronger kick, to use your toes.  So I kick again, this time with my inner foot.  I get closer to the net but miss.  So I will try again and make it.  

“Finally I made it.  Wait, if I invite my friends, we can all practice.  So I called my friends and invited them and they agreed to come over.

My friends arrived so we all went outside to my new equipment.

“Ok, one of us will be goalie, and the other can practice passing and goaling.”

“Ok, I agree, so I guess I will be goalie,” said Bob.

“And I can pass it to you, James, and then you can shoot to goal,” said George.

Ok, I like that.  So we start practicing and shooting goals.  All of us slowly get better at soccer.  A few hours after practicing, George and Bob had to go home so I said bye and packed up the equipment.  After putting everything away, I head inside to watch some TV and eat dinner.  My man and I finished a movie and we went to bed excited for the game in two days.  The next morning, I get out of bed and get ready for school.

“Crap, I forgot I was playing against my bully.  Now I’m nervous.”

I arrive at school and see Kevin outside the main doors.

“I hope he doesn’t see me,” I whisper.  I walked to the north doors instead and I walked to my class and can’t stop thinking about my game tomorrow.  

Brrrrrr Ding Dong

Finally the bell goes off and I can leave.  I rushed to the exit, hoping I didn’t see Kevin and, to my surprise, I didn’t.  I rushed home so I could study soccer a little more.  When I arrived at home, I saw that my mom had cooked me some spaghetti.

“Thanks Mom.  I love spaghetti,” I said.

“You’re welcome, I knew you would like it.”

I ate my dinner and went to my room.  I got on MeTube and I studied some more soccer moves.

“Man, I’m tired.  I need a lot of rest for tomorrow.  I got up from my desk and laid down to take a long nap.  After that, in the morning, I got up and got ready for my soccer game.  My mom drove me to the game.  There was still half an hour until the game started.  

“Mom, I should go meet up with my team and coach.”

“That sounds like a good idea.  Go ahead and meet them.”

“Ok.”

I got up and went to meet my team and coach.  Luckily, my friends were on the team.  

“THE GAME IS STARTING IN TEN MINUTES,” the announcer said.

“Ok, everyone get in position,” Coach said.

“Yes, Coach,” the whole team said.

Everyone got into position and waited for the game to start.  As we were waiting, the announcer spoke and said, “ THE GAME IS STARTING.”

The coach whistled signifying the game started.  Everyone was running towards the ball but the opposing team got the ball so I ran and stole it.  I’m running towards the goal and I passed it to them.  They got the ball and shot it.  They made it.  We got back into position.  It’s the opposing team’s ball and Kevin’s dribbling the ball.  He’s dodging my whole team.  So I rushed towards him and, when I went to take it, he kicked my leg and I fell to the ground and the coach paused the game to bench me.

“What happened?” Coach said.

“I was kicked in the leg.  It was Kevin.”

“Okay, I’ll have a word with him after the game.”

The game went on and the opposing team was in the lead 7 to 4.  I noticed my leg didn’t hurt anymore so I looked down at it and saw the bruise was gone.  So I stood up and went back in the game and I took the ball and scored.  

The fourth quarter had 10 seconds left and the game was tied.  My teammate had the ball and he passed to me.  Now it was up to me to shoot the winning goal.

I shoot and I…

SCORE!

Friendship & Volleyball

Friendship & Volleyball

By: Billie Hale

This is going to be about friendship and volleyball. My friend and I were at volleyball practice and the coach said that we made it to state. We were all so excited. Later that day I went to my friend’s house and we had a party. Half of the school came. We all had a blast. It was so fun. My friend Millie got mad at me because I have a boyfriend. Millie and I have been bestfriends for a long time so she was a little mad and we joked about being married. We are so close that we tell each other everything.

“Let’s go see your boyfriend” said Millie 

“Ok,” I said

So we went and saw Wyatt, who is my boyfriend. On the way we talked about volleyball and food. When we got there I talked to his mom. She is so sweet. Then we played basketball and volleyball. And then we left to go to volleyball practice. Volleyball practice was interesting. We had normal practice and then we did a lot of conditioning. We were so sore after that.  

“Let’s go to McDonalds” said Millie  

“Ok let’s go” I said 

After that she came to my house we layed in my bed and were talking about volleyball. We were prank calling people and eating our McDonalds. The next day we had school and school was fun. We did nothing in most of our classes because we had a lot of celebrations that day. Later we went to Wyatt’s house and Millie’s crush asked her out  and she said yes. We have been planning this for days. It was so hard not to tell her but I made it through.  Later when we went back to my house she couldn’t stop talking about it.

“How could you keep that from me?” Millie said jokingly.  

“It was really hard not to tell you” I said

So a few days later we did a double date and it was so fun. We went to the movies, got some dinner and hung out at my house. The next day we all hung out again and we had a blast. We played basketball and volleyball. A few days later state volleyball came and we did so well. I ended up injuring myself and I was in a brace for a month. It was not fun, but I did like riding the elevator every day. Every night I get a text from Millie saying can I ride with you in the elevator. I texted back saying yes to go inside and to go to our first class. My boyfriend rides with me, not her. A few days later Millie and I went shopping for volleyball. We found one that we liked and bought it. When we got to her house we ate food because we are big backs. 

“What’s your man up to?” Millie asked

“Going to his dads.” I said, “What’s your man up to Millie?” I asked 

So later when Wyatt got to his dads we facetimed and Millie and Wyatt yelled at each other pretty much the whole time.It was so funny. A few days later we had school. School was boring and I had volleyball practice after school. It was normal there was no conditioning, thank goddess. And then Millie betrayed me and was cheating on her boyfriend with my boyfriend. So i called her boyfriend and said Mille is cheating on you with Wyatt so do you want to get together and make them regret it. 

Riet said “ Ok lets do it”

“Ok bet” I said 

So the next day when  we had school Riet and I came to school together. He picked me up in his blue lamborghini. When we got to school he opened the door for me and we held hands while waking in. Right inside the door was Millie and Wyatt, their jaws dropped. 

“What are you guys doing”Millie yelled 

We smiled at each other and just kept walking past. It was finally time for school to start. Riet and I had the first class together and it was Excel. We sat in the same booth and we were talking the whole time. Millie also was in there and she sat and stared at us the whole time. 

It was the end of the day and Riet took me home. My parents are friends with Riets parent so we grew up together. So our parents are very excited we are together. When we got to my house, Riets parents were there talking with my parents and were enjoying it. They saw us walk in holding hands and they were screaming in excitement. They talked to us the rest of the night and told us how happy they were that we are together. 

It was 11 pm and Riets family went home and before Riet left him and his parents gave us hugs. That was the happiest night of my life. 

The Soccer Match

The Soccer Match

By Alex Robert

The time I woke up was around 7 am to my alarm, I could smell breakfast being made by my mother down stairs. Then I heard my mother calling me from downstairs.  

“David come downstairs and get breakfast”

  Then I groaned as I stood up and went down stairs. As I was going down the stairs I saw my dad watching TV in the living room. 

 When I sat down at the kitchen table my mom handed me pancakes with sausages. While I’m eating I see my sister coming down the stairs with her dog. Then my sister grabbed the dog leash and her shoes and was about to take the dog for a walk. 

After she left I finished my food then my mom asked if i wanted to go to the store after my soccer match.

“Sure mom that sounds fun,” David said.

 Then after David finishes his food he gets up and gets ready for soccer practice, as i was about to leave my mom says “Don’t be too late home”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

As I walk to soccer practice I see one of my friends. I walked towards them and they were going to soccer practice too. When we got to soccer practice we put on our equipment and got ready for soccer practice. 

When we were ready I walked to my coach and asked him what we are going to be doing today. The coach said 

“we are just going to see how far you can kick the ball and how good your accuracy is” the coach said

I say ok and then wait till we start. When we did start I did the second best but my friend did better than me by a hair. When we were done with practice I had to go home because I didn’t want to be late when I was walking home. I remembered that I had a game coming up but I got a couple days, I said as I walked home. When I did get home, dinner was ready. I was almost late but I made it in time. I sat down at the dinner table and saw my sister, dad and mom waiting. We were going to be eating pizza. When i sat down my dad asked me something

“So how was practice today” dad says

“It was good but my friend beat my by a hair” david said

“You should practice to beat him then” dad says

“Oh no yeah for sure I will” david says

When I was done eating dinner I had to go to bed so I could practice soccer tomorrow. When I woke up to my alarm I had to get ready for school. First I brushed my teeth then I got my backpack ready by making my lunch and eating breakfast. When I got done with my breakfast I grabbed my stuff and went to the bus stop. After i wanted for the bus i saw my friend walking towards the bus, 

“Yo why are you riding the bus today aren’t you driving to school?” david says

“Well my mom needed to go to work and my dad was still asleep so i had to take the bus” david’s friend says

“Oh well i guess you can sit next to me because the bus is kinda crazy” david says

“Wait how crazy?” david’s friend says

“Oh you’ll see” david says while snickering 

When they got on the bus David saw an open seat they went to but a pen went through the air and almost hit them, but it hit the ground as they sat down people were screaming and the bus was shaking alot. While it took a while but we made it to the school as we got of we saw someone trip because someone pushed someone into him but he ignored him and kept walking as me and my friend got of the bus we had to wait outside the school because we came to early as the school doors opened we went inside then i remember that i forgot to practice last night. As the day went on the thought of me not being able to play correctly was stuck in my head as the day ended and i went to the soccer field and got ready for my game, this was the only time i could practice and i did my best i didn’t miss a single goal in practice as practice was ending i saw the other team i was going to play against walking towards the field as we were getting ready to start my friend had to go answer a call he was getting from someone then our coach called us over so we can get in our positions we were ready and my friend was right next to me. Our coach blew the whistle as i ran for the ball the other team got it i stayed next to there goal so i could get passed the ball then i got the chance the ball was going towards me and i kicked it and i see the ball go through a group of the other team and come out from the other side then to there goal it was about to be caught but then it curved to the right and went it the goal and we won as i ran to my team we all huddled together and i was getting carried by them they carried me to the benches and sat me down as i was drinking the other team came over and said

“So you think your good huh” one of the other team members say

“No not really i’m just happy i got the goal” david says

“Just wait till we get to go against you again you will lose horribly” the other teams member says

“I sure do not believe it for us to lose” david say

“Oh you’ll see” the other member says

Will I Find Her?

 Will I Find Her?

Author: Kannie Kj

On September 1st in Miami Florida Maria and Sasha, two best friends, are so excited to start school volleyball. They have been playing with each other for years now, and this is their Junior year of highschool. Tryouts start after school today, Maria is feeling good about tryouts and sure she will make it to varsity like every other year, but Sasha on the other hand wasn’t feeling so good about tryouts this year.

 Maria tries making her feel better, “hey, are you feeling any better about tryouts after school,” said Maria.

 “Not really,” said Sasha.

 “I don’t know why your so worried, we always make it on the team,”

“ I know Maria, but this year just feels different and there’s so many more girls this year that i might not make it.” 

“Oh, come on you can’t think like that just be the confident person like you always are.” 

Sasha Nodded her head and gave Maria a smile that looked faked, then she left for her last class of the day.                                 

The last class of the day was coming to an end and Maria was so happy to finally be on the court after the summer break that felt so long to her,  she rushed to the locker room to put on her shoes, knee pads etc. She waits in the locker room for Sasha. It’s been some time and all the other girls are in the gym by now and it was only her in the locker room so she decided to go without sasha. Tryouts started and there were a lot of people, a lot more than last year. The tryouts start with serving and Maria tries to find Sasha but no luck, She’s starting to think she didn’t come at all. The volleyball coach already knows Maria since she was on the team previous years. The coach already knew Maria would make it, but she is worried about why Sasha isn’t there.

 She calls Maria to ask why Sasha didn’t make it to tryouts, “Maria! Come over here,”said coach Gabby.

Maria runs over quickly, “yes coach gabby,” Said Maria.

“Where is Sasha, she’s not the type of girl to be late to tryouts,”

“Uh, I’m not sure, she didn’t tell me anything about what she is doing after school.”

“Oh don’t pull that with me, you to are like glued together and always know where the other one is”

“I don’t know where she is,” said Maria “i’m telling you the truth”

Coach replies “Are you covering for her?” “did she doing something bad”

  “Nope’

“Hmm okay just go back to tryouts”

She returns to tryouts while Coach Gabby gives Sasha’s mom a call. Sasha’s mom, Vannessa, answered. Coach Gabby asks if Sasha was going to come to tryouts, Vanessa said she thought she was already there…

After coach and Sasha talk about what they are going to do Coach hangs up the phone. She tells the girls that are still playing volleyball that she will be right back, Maria is guessing it’s about Sasha. Coach Gabby rushes to the office to ask if anyone is still in the school, The office lady replies, 

“Nope just the girls for volleyball tryouts, why is something wrong?” 

Coach Gabby says,

 “We might have a student missing.”

 The office lady panics and Coach tells her who the student is and they start making phone calls. Meanwhile in the gym, all Maria can think about is how she is gonna have to be on a team for the first time without her best friend Sasha, and now she will have to find a new partner for warm-ups. Coach Gabby finds out that Vannessa and Sasha’s dad are divorced and Sasha doesn’t  see her dad at all anymore. They do some more research and find out Her mom has full custody of Sasha because the dad did some jail time for unknown reasons. Coach Gabby’s heart sinks at the thought of what she thinks happens, she tells the front office lady to check the cameras to see if Sasha left with anyone. Coach returns to the gym shortly after. Maria looks at the way coach gabby is entering the room, she looks like she doesn’t have a thought going on in her head and looks like she is about to throw up. 

It was time to dismiss the girls from tryouts, “Ok girls, good job i’ll tell you who made the teams tomorrow morning. All the girls leave, at Maria’s house she calls Sasha  hoping for an answer but no one does, she’s starting to get worried about her. A couples hours latter Maria gets a notification on her phone, she reads 

“Amber alert for Sasha williams”

Her eyes widen as she keeps reading. It says her dad stole her from school and the car that she took her in is an old worn down jeep” she runs to go tell her mom and they both break down in tears. Maria can’t believe her best friend is kidnapped and if she’s ever gonna be found or what her cruel dad will do to her and how scared she is. After she calms down a little she thinks back at school, she thinks about how she was acting at school and how she was so anxious. Maria wonders if she knew something like this was going to happen. Maria calls Vanessa, Sasha’s mom, to see how she is doing. 

“Hey Vanessa, how are you doing,” said Maria’s mom. 

“As best as I can,” said Sasha’s mom”

A couple weeks go by and no new news and Maria makes a lot of new friends but she still thinks about Sasha dailey and wonders where she’s at or even if she’s still alive. Coach Gabby can see that Maria’s volleyball performance has not been like she usually plays and thinks that because of Sasha’s disappearance.

Something In the Woods     

Author: Bobby Joe

It’s September 15, 2022 and my family and I took a roadtrip to California. Our Family is a family of five so it gets pretty cramped on roadtrips. We live in West Virginia so a road trip to California is a long time. We leave for our trip tomorrow so I have to hurry and get packing and so does my family.

Melinda-mom: “On our way there we are stopping at  hotels on the way so we can get actual sleep because the ride is 2 days.”

Luke: “Why is the ride so long?”

Casyn: “Yeah this is going to take forever.”

David-dad “The ride will be over before you know it just play a game on your phone or go to sleep.”

When we finally all get time to pack we pack the car with all our things because we are staying there for three weeks and that’s a long time. We’re getting an AirBnb in california so we don’t have to stay in a small hotel room with a family of five. When we finally go to bed we all have to wake up at 6:30 and get ready for our trip and leave the house at 7:00. Before we leave the house we make sure we have everything such as our suitcases, phones, chargers, and etc. Then after we have checked everything we leave for California. My brothers and my sister are just on their phones which I understand because the car ride is going to be really boring. 

We’re only three hours in the trip and everyone is exhausted so we stop at a gas station to all take a break and get some food. My two brothers got slushies and hotdogs, my sister and I got soda and nachos. Theory had tables at the gas station so we could sit down and eat which was good because everyone didn’t want to go back in the hot cramped car. After we’re done eating we go back in the car and start driving again. Now we’re finally out of our state we are now in Kansas so we stop at a restaurant because it’s dinner time. The food we got was really good but now we have to go back in the car and start driving again. That’s our last stop until tomorrow. Now it’s time to go to bed so we stop at the hotel and  go to sleep but we have to go to bed early because now we’re leaving at 6:00. Once we went to bed we were in the car for 10 hours so we were finally half way through our trip. This time we didn’t stop anywhere and kept driving. We stopped at a gas station to get more food because we were all starving. Once we ate we got back in the car.

Another 10 hours go by and we only have 13 hours left to our trip. Everyone is so excited to get to California. Another 5 hours went by and we were so eager to get there that we were planning and thinking about all the fine things we were going to do when we got there. 

While we were in the car we all decided to play a game. We vote on play ISpy. Casyn: This game isn’t fair. So we all decided to stop playing.

We’re now in Nevada which is so close to California. Then a few more hours passed and we were finally in California and were all so excited. Once we get to our hotel we plan all of the fun things we’re going to do. Tomorrow we’re going on a hike in the woods and were so excited. Once it’s finally time to go to sleep I wake up in the middle of the night and hear strange noises. I just think it’s my mind messing with me so I go to bed but they keep on getting louder and louder and I get up out of bed and just drink some water and go to bed. The noises finally stop so I can sleep. The next morning we all got up and I didn’t say anything about the noises because it didn’t matter. Once we’re all done eating breakfast and getting ready we go for our hike in the woods.

We are finally leaving for the woods and were so excited to go hiking and explore. Were hiking for a good hour but Casyn asks to go to the bathroom so we find a rest stop and wait for him. 10 minutes pass and Casyn still isn’t done but that’s pretty normal for him so we think nothing of it. While we’re eating we all have a snack because we’re all very hungry. While we were eating it’s been 30 minutes and no sign of Casyn were all so worried so my dad goes and checks the bathroom. He comes out and he says Casyn isn’t in there. 

Were all so worried so we all went searching for him but no one could find him. We search for one hour then one hour turns into two and two into three and we can’t find Casyn. So we call the police and they arrive in an hour because we’re far in the woods. They arrive for an hour and report back to us. They give us terrible news. They tell us that there’s no sign of Casyn and he’s no nowhere to be found. So we continue hiking because we believe we can find Casyn but we hear weird noises and some sound like Casyn saying “help me”. So we all start getting freaked out but we keep searching. Then we see a black figure and we get so scared. 

But the black figure wont stop us from finding Casyn so we kept searching then we realized my other brother was gone. We were paying so much attention to finding Casyn that my brother disappeared. So now we’re disappointed and worried but then something grabs my leg and starts dragging me and it’s this black figure and we all get scared so we call the police and they get too scared and don’t know what to do. But we see Casyn and Drew behind the monster. We run towards them and grab them and run away from the woods as far as possible. We never go hiking again in California but we still have our whole vacation left so we keep doing things as planned. The next morning we wake up and decide to explore Los Angeles. But we keep hearing voices and we see the black figure again. It was like it was following us so we got scared and went back to our hotel and hid. But when we look out the window it’s there again so we’re all so scared and don’t know what to do.  We all decide to go to bed after a long day but then we all hear weird noises like scratching and tapping sounds. We all decide on getting a new hotel tomorrow in Beverly Hills. The next morning we wake up and get to our hotel and we enjoy the rest of our vacation. Until we feel like someone is watching us all the time. Once our vacation is done we drive home and we don’t say anything the whole ride because we still have that creepy feeling. We get used to the feeling and just continue with our lives.

★ Fly Back to Me ★ 

Made By: Quinn Hernández

Name: June, Age: 13, Grade: 8th

One day I was on my way to a Volleyball game when I ran into Mark and his gang in the halls.

 “What are you in a rush for short stuff?” he sneered. 

I rolled my eyes at him and snapped back, “None of your business jerk!”

 I sprint past him, to the beach where the match has already started. I groan under my breath, knowing I will be scolded by both my coach and my parents for being a few minutes late to the game. 

“What took you so long in June?”

 My coach didn’t sound happy once I had made it to where she was standing, “Sorry I ran into someone and they wouldn’t let me pass them for 5 minutes… But please don’t make me run laps for being a little late coach!”

 I pleaded for her not to make me run laps until she made a bet with me, “If you get us to win this game you don’t have to run laps. If not, then it’s 20 laps at practice.” 

I accept it and go switch with my teammate, the opposite team hits the ball over and within seconds I spike it down into the sand. 

The crowd cheers for us while others groan disappointed with the team they were going for. I give my friends high fives and handshakes then it’s my turn to serve. 

I tossed the ball up and hit it over the net. The other team hit it but it went into the net. We kept playing for some time till we needed the last winning points. Which made me think if I was making my coach proud or not?

 When I went to serve again a bird flew by, knowing the details of its blue and green color, I should have known it was my grandma’s pet parrot Mango. I made our last point and we won! 

After our huddle I look for my grandma and find her with my parents. I walk over and hug her asking how her and mango have been doing. “Oh we have been great! How have you been June?” 

“I have been good, I’ve  had better days but yeah.” 

I walk with her to the car and then we say our goodbyes. Once I get home I instantly shower, eat some dinner, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

 The next day my whole body was aching, I couldn’t bear to get out of bed but I still had to get ready for church. 

I got out of bed the pain and my body ached, but I fought it off and got dressed out of my pjs. I went downstairs to get myself some breakfast and called my best friend who also plays volleyball with me. 

“Hey girl, what’s up?”, she asks when she answers the phone. “ Hey Ally, I was wondering if you would be at church this morning?”, She was silent for a second before replying “ I’m already at church waiting for you”

 I nearly dropped the phone when I saw the time.  It’s 9:40?! Church starts in 20 minutes!

 I set the phone down on speaker while I shoot up the stairs and get dressed into my church uniform.

 I ran back down the stairs grabbing my toast with butter, my bag, and my phone. I get my shoes on as quickly as possible running out the door, I arrive at the church.

 Oh my gosh I am so tired from running… “Oh hey Ally” I’m panting my hands on my knees. “Jeez how long do you live from here again June?”

 She gives me a mocking grin and I stand up straight. “ I live like five blocks down the street from here down the hill.” I was breathing heavily, My blood started to boil when Mark called out “June you look like a mess!”

 He starts laughing and I’m on the last thread from punching him in the face. “Mark, stop it!” Ally tries to get him to stop while I just get more angry. 

Him and his gang just laugh, I grab Ally’s arm and walk away with her, my grip on her arm tightens,

 “Let’s go Ally….” My voice was cold as I just looked straight at the doors to inside the church. “Ow June, that kinda hurts!”

 she winces in pain, I let go of her arm and I continue walking to the doors. 

Mark follows us and he manage to catch up to us with how much faster of a walker he is than us two are. 

“What’s the matter June? Are you a little upset because you look like a wet dog right now?” His friends behind us snicker, 

I stop in my tracks and turn to Mark.  “ You either shut up Mark or I’m going to punch you in the nose. You always wanna bug me so that you can just get yourself hurt then!” I shout at him.

“You sound like a high pitched squirrel when you’re mad..” He sneers while he grabs my arm.

I could feel how tight his grip was on my arm, I tried to pull away but he just pulled me closer.

“Mark let me go, Your acting so weird-” He cuts me off interrupting me.

“June you’re so dang stubborn just give up already” for some reason his words give me butterflies in my stomach.

“What?” I pull out of his grip and back up, “what are you saying Mark?”

I was confused and flustered at the same time. “I like you June. That’s what I’m saying…”

 I could see the embarrassment on his face, “Give me time to think mark..” My heart was racing as I walked into church, after church was over I still couldn’t get the thought of what he said out of my head. What were these feelings I have for him?

“June!”. Mark Walked over and I could feel my cheeks burning as he got closer to where I was located.

“What is it Mark?”.  I asked in a stern tone. “Whoa still mad about earlier?” He said in a seductive tone which made my heart pound in my chest. 

“No.. I’m not mad about anything” I mumble as he gets closer.

“Then what is it June?” he goes silent for a second,

“Are you still thinking of what I confessed to you still?” He smirks,

My heart was racing and I couldn’t get the words out to say anything.

I rest my forehead on his chest embarrassed to look up at him.

He held me in a somewhat hug that made me feel safe. 

“Mark.. I like you too, but I just didn’t know how to tell you..” 

His eyes lit up as he heard what I had just said. 

“That’s why you are always in a snappy mood, hm?” He teases me as he chuckles. I look up at him as he looks back down at me. “ Wanna go to the park?”. I asked.

He Smiles and nods his head. “Yeah I would love to go to the park with you June.” We walked together to the park. 

I started to speed up when a man in all black clothes was following us with his hand behind his back “Speed up..” 

I whisper to Mark as we walk faster.

The man starts sprinting at us. We started running and hid in the bushes.

“Are you okay June?” I nod my head and my breathing is heavy. 

We got out of the bushes and continued walking to the park, once we made it to the park it started to rain.

          “Oh how I love the rain..” I say in a soft tone. 

Mark looks at me and smiles “Wanna jump in puddles?” I accept his request and we jump in puddles dancing in the rain.“I love this!” 

        I giggle as I spin around In circles.

A while later we thought it was a good idea to go home. “It’s starting to rain a lot.” Mark holds me close to him. 

While we started to walk home, The man was back… But he wasn’t alone, He had a whole gang with him. We sprinted home and stayed at my house. I called 911 and told them there was a group of guys with weapons in front of the house.

When  the cops arrived they looked around the house and only caught 3 of them, when there were 6. Mark told me he would stay at my place to make sure I would be okay sleeping, “Yeah that’s fine..”

I tried to sleep in bed but I was still scared, so I went downstairs to the living room where Mark is. “What’s wrong June?”

He has this worried expression on his face, I sit down beside him. “I’m just scared they might find us again..”

He puts his arms around me in a hug. “It will be okay, they won’t be back soon..”

We watched a movie and I ended up falling asleep, Mark also fell asleep too and the next morning we didn’t wake up till 10:23am. “Good morning…”

I mumble as I start to open my eyes to see Mark was making breakfast. “Good morning sleepy head..”

I could smell eggs and steak being cooked. “Are you making eggs and steak?”

I walked over to him and the smell of the eggs and steak’s amazing.

The Worst Crash

The Worst Crash

             By. Brien Deegan.

Weewooweewoo

The siren was the last thing he remembered after that mesmerizing day. His name was Hayden Deegan and he was only 23 years old. He was a pro motocross rider. He was driving up to the gate and his handlebars felt loose. He called his mechanic to come over but he was nowhere to be found. So he started the race.  I did not expect to end up in an ambulance.

The race went on he started to get anxious about his handlebars. He just got done with his first lap and was just starting his second lap out of a 100 lap race. He needed to go see if his mechanic was in the pits.  But for some strange reason he wasn’t there again. So he flew out of the pits and got back in the race. 

He was in last place for a bit until lap 8. He got to first place for the first time in that whole race. He was going to do a nice trick named whip when he got past by Jett Lawrence. Jett was locked in that race because, if you win, you will get 1,000,000 dollars without tax. So Hayden stopped trying to do the whip. 

Lap 21 Hayden and Eli Tomac were head to head but Eli was about to land short on a jump so he went full throttle and………. He made it and the crowd went wild. Almost everyone thought that he was going to get MVP for what he just did. 

Out of the corner of Haydens eye he saw his mechanic so he flew into the pit and got his handlebars fixed. And He went back into the race and he got a flat tire which he figured out pretty easily because he wasn’t getting enough psi. So he continued the race. He went to the pit to get some water when all of a sudden Donald trump showed up to the track and went back to track but he was just so happy that Donald Trump was there so he started to sing the National Anthem in his head. He locked back in and was in 2 place behind Eli Tomac. But tomac was getting a little swirly on a berm so Hayden got time to get to first place and he did it but Tomac crashed on the berm the black flag came out it means stop ASAP. So Hayden stopped and so did the other riders.

  He was rushed into the ambulance instantly and all had to go to the pit and then the green flag came out and the race started once again. Jett came out of nowhere and got to first place and he was on his 60th lap Hayden on the other hand was only on his 59th. Jett was very hydrated in this race which kept him good for the first part of the race and most of the race to come. Anyway Hayden came up to Jett.

Because he got done with a lap really fast. Jett was about to hit a jump when Hayden flew past him hitting a quad on the jump. Everyone was so mad because a lot of people were not wanting him to pass Jett because Jett was the best person there at that moment. So Jett went to his pits to get some performance enhancement liquid but his crew were out because he uses so much of it not many people knew he was a cheater. 

Lap 70 was when the race became the worst crash in motocross history. Jett went crazy on another berm and had to jump off the bike. He was alright but had to jump back on the bike and almost broke his throttle cable. He twisted it back so hard. He went to the pit’s to see if it broke. It wasn’t but his hand brake and foot brake did brake so he had to switch his bikes and get on his yz 250. It’s a dirt bike for those who don’t know. 

And then he saw Donald Trump in Hayden’s pits sitting on a trumpet. It’s a dirt bike for those who don’t already know. He was mad because he wanted Donald Trump to come over to his pit lane. So he went back to the track to race again when he saw Eli coming back after his crash and he was scared for him because he’s still hurt. Heyden was on a jump with every one behind him and he fell off his bike and broke his arm and his bike started to leak antifreeze on some gas that fell out of Elis bike when he crashed earlier and it started a fire and all the people behind him had to swerve out the way and they all slipped on Hayden and his bike which were both on fire and the fire grew and everyone’s bikes lit up on fire and and Jett was the first to tragically passed away then Eli got 3 degree berns from the fire.  Everyone got rushed to the hospital and all the people in the crowd started saying that it was the worst crash in motocross history and they were right. Heyden was the only one that lived out of 2. Him and Eli Heyden’s last words in the ambulance was (is this a dream mom) and it was not he didn’t say a thing after a while when he got to the hospital. And then later got a disease from all the fumes from the fire and he later got perlaza Eli on the other hand sadly passed away a year after the crash. Heyden 15 years later is married and has 3 kids and lived happily ever after.

The Adventures of Evony Manorest

By Giverest Enovy

Chapter 1

Once upon a time in the world of sports there lived two twins born from nothing. The Yin twin was very wild and rude to the people in the village. The Yang twin was very smart and kind to the people in the village. Whatever the Yin twin would destroy, the Yang twin would fix it. Since the Yin twin was so destructive he was banished from the village. One day the twins heard a mysterious voice.

”You two are the beginning of a great story.”

After that they never heard that mysterious voice ever again. The Yang twin became king and had a son named Evony Manorest. Fifteen years later, the king was kidnaped and taken to the Darklands and a big prize was given out to rescue the king. Meanwhile in the Darklands the king meets his brother, and they have a family reunion and they have a good time. They saw what each other was up to and get to know how each other’s life was going. Meanwhile in the kingdom of the king, everything was in chaos. With the king gone everyone didn’t know what to do. Ebony tried to calm everyone down, but it only worsened it so Evony decided to go bring the king back to the castle.

Evony asked everyone who would want to help him rescue the king and stop the chaos from worsening. The only people that wanted to save the king were Carl, Josh, Doni, and Megis. Evony and Carl went to the Adventurers Guild to become adventurers to begin to start their journey to rescue the king. When everyone was all ready and packed up, they left the village and started their adventure to find and rescue the king.

Meanwhile with the king and his brother, his brother was introducing his family to him and showing him around. Back to Evony and his party, they encountered a goblin camp and they got attacked by goblins and they swiftly and effortlessly defeated the goblins. A few hours later they found ruins and decided to camp out there while everyone was unpacking Evony went to explore the ruins and found a secret door that led to a treasure room and before he went in he told everyone else.

Evony said,”Guys I found a hidden treasure room!”

 They all went in and they looked through the treasures, and they grabbed some magic weapons and some gold and started a fire back at the camp. After they had dinner they went to sleep. When they woke up they all started to pack up and continue their journey. After some time passed they got attacked by Orcs that saw them while they were hunting and they defeated the Orcs but it took a good amount of time.

 They were getting closer to the king when they came across an inn. The innkeeper welcomed them in kind to stay the night. During the night they heard a weird noise that sounded like a monster. They got ready and started to leave the inn but ran into the monster, the innkeeper.

They were captured and tied up after they freed themself and found each other. They went to save the kids the innkeeper kidnapped. They saved the kids and looked for the innkeeper to defeat him. When they  found the innkeeper and wounded him, he got away and reported it to the king’s brother. The king’s brother ordered his servants to set traps to stop Evony’s party from stealing his brother away from him.

While they were walking down the path they accidentally activated a teleporting trap that separated them all and trapped them in a huge maze with traps and treasures. They all knew that following the right wall was the way to the exit. So after five hours in the maze they finally got out. After they stepped out of the maze it teleported to a treasure room and they took only the valuables, and then they were teleported to where they got teleported to the maze and continued down the path.

They took a little break after they were walking on the path for a few hours for a lunch break. They voted for who would cook the food. They all voted for Doni to cook lunch because he owned the best restaurant in the kingdom. After lunch they continued down the path but they got attacked by bandits and gave them one hundred gold coins and the bandits left them alone.

The Baby Monitor!!

The Baby Monitor!!

By: Katie Cat

Everyone loves summer break, whether it’s getting to play out in the warm sun, hanging with friends, relaxing, and going back to school and telling people about their summer. Everyone thinks that they had a crazy and chaotic summer, but, I don’t think you’ve heard of one this crazy.

“Come on, we’re going to be late!!” I yelled. We were getting ready to go to the second to last football game of the year. Everyone was so excited to go. We have been undefeated!!

We were just about to make a touchdown when billions of people started to say “ooo, that must have hurt.” I looked around to see what had happened, I couldn’t tell, so my friend Chloe pointed out to Billy on the field. Then I saw it, HIS BONE WAS STICKING OUT OF HIS LEG!! The police came and were talking on the walkie talkies to signal the ambulance to come to their location. My brother Sam saw the walkie talkie, and he instantly wanted one, so I told him that we have baby monitors that could work, and he was so excited to go home and find his old baby- monitor.

 “I found it!” Sam yelled, “It’s in this box!!”

 I ran over there to see if he really did, and he did find it! Chloe came over and helped us get the cords untangled. We sat them up and turned them on. 

Kkkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. 

The static overwhelmed the room. “Hey!! I hear something. Do you hear that?” Chloe said

 “Ya, I hear that too!!” Sam said 

“But wait,” I said, “I turned this one off to make the static go away.” “It must be picking up another signal from another baby monitor.” Chloe explained. 

“Y, y..ya, I, I guess you’re right.” I said. 

“Ashley,” said Sam, “are you ok?”

 “Ya, Ya, I, I, I’m fine.” I said 

“Well I’ve got to go home, it’s getting late.” said Chloe 

“Ok, I’ll call you later.” I said

Later that night we kept hearing those strange noises on the baby monitor. My mom said to put it away, but when Sam got up I started to hear words, English!! 

“Wait!!” I yelled “Stay right there!!”

 “What?” Sam asked 

“Do you hear that?” I said.

 My brother swung his hands up, and I heard it more clearly.

 “Wait!!” I said, “Hold that up again!!”

 “I hear it!!” My brother exclaimed “The higher it is, the more clear it gets.”

 We held it up higher, but it was still too quiet, so I put a chair on the table and squatted down on it.

 “Stop!!” I yelled, “Nobody move” 

Krrrrrrrrr “Yes” Krrrrrrrrrr “That is de plan. Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Get more of those earthlings to do more studies. Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr “Wait!! Nrrrg nnrrrrrgsssnrrggg”

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 

“Oh man, We lost the signal.” I said, “Earthlings!!”

 “What?” Sam asked. 

“They said earthlings, so that must mean that they live somewhere else, and not on earth.”

 “You mean like aliens?” Sam asked.

 “I don’t know.” I said, “But what I do know is that somethings up, and I don’t think it’s good.”

We kept hearing the noises, but nothing was abnormal. We didn’t think much more about it, and went on with our summer. I was helping Sam get packed for camping at our cabin,when I saw the baby monitor on his dresser. We didn’t think much about it, but we still took it just in case. 

Afterwards we picked up Chloe and headed to our cabin. When we got there we unpacked and went to bed. When we went to bed I had this strange feeling that something was wrong, or something bad was going to happen, but I still didn’t think much about it. I went to sleep and when I woke up I was outside, so was my brother, and chloe!! I didn’t know why but we were. We were all confused about what happened. I itched my arm. 

“What?” I thought to myself, I looked down and there was this strange marking on my arm, almost like a diamond with a line through it. 

I grabbed Chloe and Sam’s wrists and looked at them. They had it too. That’s when I really started to freak out. We ran back inside and turned on the baby monitor and there it was, the voices again.

 Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Those earthlings, they’re perfect!! Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr They will make perfect specimens for our labs!! Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 “I think they’re talking about us!” Chloe said. That’s when I got this eerie feeling in my stomach. 

“Here it comes again!!” Said Sam.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Them Krrrrrrrrrrr I think they know our plan!! Krrrrrrrrrrrrr Noo!! They must not know of our plan!! Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 

“Oh man, we lost the signal again!!”

 Later on that night, we all three tried to stay awake, I looked down at my wrist to see the sign again, but it was not there!! They looked at their arms too. Theirs was also gone!! We looked outside, nothing was different. 

We all eventually fell asleep, but I got spooked or something and woke up. I looked around, and I was in this strange white room filled with these strange creatures with big heads, but little bodies doing some sort of lab work! One looked over at me with these big glowing eyes!! 

I tried to scream but my throat felt like it was in my stomach. It hovered over to me and put some sort of mask over my mouth, and I fell asleep. 

When I woke up again, Chloe and Sam were at my side yelling my name.

 “We have to get out of here!!” Chloe said 

“Ashley!!” My brother cried, “I just want to go home!!”

Just then, a loud bang came from the left!

“Come on, we’ve got to go!!” yelled Chloe. 

We ran down this very narrow hall to this weirdly shaped door. 

“It’s locked!!” I yelled “Come on, this way!! They’re following us!! Quick!! Hurry up!!” 

We ran down this hallway to our right that led us to this big circle on the floor. Right beside it was this big red button, and of course Sam pushed it. As we stood on the circle, it shined this big beam of light down towards the ground and we floated down to the ground. Right as our feet touched the ground, we ran towards the trees to hide. The weird creatures floated down from the beam of light right after we ran toward the trees. Just then, the marks on our arms started glowing this bright blue. 

  “Wait, what if they are tracking us!! What if this is how they know where we are always at!” I said

  “Hey, Do you still have that flashlight with the magnet on the bottom?” Chloe asked. 

“Ya, In Fact I do, I was going to use it tonight just in case we heard something outside. Why?” 

“Because we could rub the magnet on our wrists to mess up the tracking device so they can’t find us.”

  “Ya, then we won’t ever have to worry about them ever again! You are so smart!!”

  “Thank you, hurry now up, let’s do this fast.” 

We all rubbed the magnet on our wrists. Just then a beam of light shined around as if it was looking for something. 

“I think it’s looking for us,” I yelled. Come on, go this way!!”

 All of a sudden three rays of light shot down at us and we all three floated in the air. We could,’t move, we were like frozen in our place. 2 figures came out from the trees, and hovered right to us. They spoke to each other as if we weren’t even there. 

“Those earthlings are too smart for us, we’ve got to hide their GPS trackers better, and where they can’t find them, like in their nose or on their tung.”

 “I got a great idea for a place.” 

“Really? What?”

 “What about on the surface of their eye or behind their eye socket?!”

 “Great idea!!”

 Just then, one snapped their finger and everything went black. 

When I opened my eyes Sam, and Chloe were laying at my side. All three of us looked around, and we couldn’t remember what happened. I looked at and at Chloe and Sam. I could see tears in Sam’s eyes. I couldn’t believe how hard it must be for a 7 year old boy going through this. I went over to him and gave him a big hug. Then all of a sudden, This big eerie screech came from the night sky. All three of us jumped. 

“We’ve got to go find your parents!!” Chloe yelled

“I know.” I said

“And after that, we should go tell the police!!” Sam cried

“Good thinking, we will.” I said “I promise you, I will never let anything happen to you. Neither of you.” I said 

Scr Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

“Did you hear that? It’s getting louder!!” I yelled, “Come on, let’s get to the cabin!!”

“Where is the cabin?” Chloe yelled

“What do you mean?” I yelled

“Where are we?” She yelled

“I don’t know where we are?” I yelled

“I just Want to go home.” Sam yelled, “I want mom, and dad.”

“I know buddy, We just got to find..

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

“Ahhhhh” We all held our ears from the loud screech. 

“It’s gettin closer, RUN!!” I screamed

We ran for as far as we could, when Sam collapsed. 

“Sam!! Are you ok?” I yelled

“I can’t run any farther!!” He yelled back

I put him on my back and kept running. When we reached this pond I just remembered that I read this book that said Aliens don’t like water, it kills them!! 

“Jump in the water!!” I yelled

“Are you crazy?” Chloe yelled 

“Just do it!!” I yelled back

We all jumped in the water and that’s when we heard the most gut rotting, the most eerie, the most terrifying screech ever!! Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!   It sounded like 200 or more screeches all at once. All of a sudden I saw something swoop down and grab Chloe. Chloe screamed as loud as she could, but nothing worked. Then something swooped down and tried to grab me and Sam, but I dogged it, then a second one came and grabbed me by my arms as I was still holding Sam on my back. We screamed, and kicked but nothing worked. We were brought into the ship, and into this very little room with three hard plastic looking beds. All I remembered was that Sam was taken off of my back, and all three of us were placed on the bed like things and we were strapped down to them and about 13 figures circled around us and I blacked out. When I woke up, I was at home lying down in my bed. I couldn’t remember anything that happened. 

“Was it all a dream?” I thought to myself, “It seemed so real. Did I dream my whole summer? That’s impossible!! You can’t do that.” 

That’s when I had the idea to go to sam. He didn’t know what happened either so I called Chloe and asked her to come over to our house, but she was already here. She had no idea what happened either. I went down stairs. 

“Mom, Dad?” I yelled “Where are you?”

“Ummm, Ashley, don’t  you mean where are we?”Chloe said as she looked out the window.

“What do you mean?”

“Look!”

I looked out the window and we were not at home. There were stars, and a dark sky. 

“We’re in space!!” Sam yelled “But why?” 

“I don’t know Sam, but…” 

Something interrupted me and woke up.I was sitting up against a mailbox. I was all alone, I started freaking out and I started yelling for Sam and Chloe. Nothing, nothing but silence. I looked around in this nearby field. I saw something lying on the ground, and to the right of it was another one. 

“Sam!!, Chloe!!” I yelled, “Sam!!, Chloe!!” I ran over there, and sure enough it was them. I shook them until they woke up. 

“Where are we?” Sam asked 

I ran back over to the mailbox to read the address. It read “San Diego, California”

 We are in San Diego, California!!” I yelled to them as they ran towards me. 

“Why are we in Calla, fonia?” Sam asked

“It’s pronounced California sam, and I don’t know why we are.” I said

“Wait!! California is the state with the most alien sightings!!” Chloe said

“But why would they take us over 1,800 miles away from home?” I asked 

“I don’t know.” Chloe said as she looked down 

“Wait!!” she said “what if this is where the ship is located, what if this is where we’ve been this whole time!!”

“Is 1,800 a lot of miles from home?” sam asked

“Yes buddy, it is. But the real question is how do we get home? What if we don’t get to see our parents ever again!!” I panicked 

 Sam started to cry.

 “Oh buddy, I’m so sorry. I never should have said that.” I said  

“You promised we would get home!! You promised!!” 

“I know buddy, and I will keep my promise.”

“How are you going to keep your promise?” Chloe asked me

Chloe looked at me funny. 

“What?” I asked

 She didn’t answer me. 

“What? Answer me!!”

“At the corner of your eye!! She said

“What about it, is there an eyelash? I asked, “Chloe!!”  

“There is a tiny blue shining diamond with a line in it.” She said

“What do you mean?” I cried

I itched my eye

A large ship hovered above us.  

“Hide!!” I yelled!! 

We hid behind this bush, as if it was going to do anything. 

“We’ve gotta get out of here, make a run for it!” 

“ Where are we going to go?” Sam asked 

“Wait!! I know where!! My aunt Edna lives in Los Angeles!!”

“But that’s about 130 miles from here!! How are we supposed to get there? We don’t have any money, we haven’t ate anything for over 3 days, we are tired from running, what are we supposed to do now?” 

“I didn’t think of that.” 

“I know you didn’t, you never think about what’s happening, you only think about what could happen.”

“So that’s how you feel about me.”

“No, Chloe, I didn’t mean it.”

“No, I get it, I always try to find all of the good things, or the good possibilities that could happen.”

“I know, and that’s what I love about you, that’s what makes you, you!!” 

“Thanks!!”

“Now come on!! We need to get a head start to your aunt Edna’s house!! Come on Sam!!”

We went into the big city to go find Aunt Edna. 

“Guys!! Look!!” Chloe yelled as she pointed to the jumbotron. 

“Hey, that’s the big ship that we were on!!” Sam yelled

“ That’s us!!” I said, “We were all shot down towards the ground!!” I said

“Hey!!” A man yelled, “Those are the kids that were in the UFO and got shot down from that ray of light!!”

“No, we’re not!!” Chloe said

(She doesn’t like crowds)

“Wait, Yes we are the kids!” I yelled

“Ashley!!” Chloe said

“I know what I’m doing Chloe, trust me.” I said back, “Hey everyone, We were taken over 1,800 miles from home, and these weird creatures have done so many studies on us. We haven’t eaten in over 3 days, and we are so tired. So will somebody be so kind as to take us home or at least to Los Angeles?” I asked

“Ya, and some food!!” Sam added

“Hey, I will!!” Yelled a woman from the crowd, “Just come with me and we can stop and get some burgers and fries!! Does that sound ok? Then I will take you home!!” 

“Thank you so much!! You are so kind!!” I said back

“ Ya, thank you!!” Sam said

  We ate for about an hour, and then we headed for home. The woman of course asked so many questions, and I was very comfortable sharing everything with her, especially for how much she has done for us!! We stayed at a hotel for the night because we still had over 1,200 miles to go. 

“How do you have so much time to help us?” I asked the kind lady

“Well, I recently lost my husband in a car crash and then I realized how precious life is, so don’t waste it all and enjoy your life. My husband always told me to “live as if this was your last day.” I never knew what that meant until he passed away. So now, I want to travel the world and live my life!!” She replied

“I’m so sorry.” I said back

“Oh, that’s ok, it feels good to let it all out.

I couldn’t sleep that night. I didn’t know if it was because it was weird sleeping with a stranger, or if it was because of what she said. 

 We traveled for 2 days and we finally got home. My mom and dad were so happy to see us, and They thanked the kind lady for bringing us home. When she left, they sat us down and we told them everything. They didn’t really believe us, but they were just happy that we were home. I heard my mom talking to dad in her room, and she said that she thinks that the real reason we left was because we were mad at them for taking the baby monitor away. Even if they don’t believe us, we will always know the truth about what happened. 

We tried forgetting about it, and I sort of did for a little while, until one day after school, I got an itch in my eye, and could see a little blue diamond with a line in it at the corner of my eye.

The referee’s whistle blows. The crowd goes silent, all Eyes on me. It’s a one point game and we need that  last point. It took me a bit but I finally threw the ball into the air and hit a deep corner. Everyone’s quiet, the line guard looks at the referee, and nods his head. It’s all up to him . He looks like he’s standing on a throne, kinda like he has all the power. He puts his arms out and blows the whistle. I got the winning point. I look in the crowd and see my sister, the one I’m playing for.

    “This is for you” I mouth to her

      “Thank you” she mouths 

I smile slightly, still sad she’s going back to the hospital tomorrow. My whole team is cheering me on and saying “ Oswald high school forever!”

 I smile at them as they crowd around me. It’s making me very claustrophobic if I do say so myself, but it doesn’t matter since I got the point for her. My sister has had Astrocytomas (brain cancer) since she was 9 years old. She’s been living with it for 2 years now and it has brought our family to Chaos. Mom started her old habit of smoking, and dad is just. Dad’s just not doing as well as he used to be before she developed cancer. But it was just how it always is, them fighting over small things. Stupid small things.

“Why did you make JayLynn walk to school yesterday?”

“Its 70* out Martha, She’s fine. She’s still alive isn’t she?”

“How dare you speak to me like that david!”

“Well sorry you can’t drive your own kid to school!”

Like I said, “Stupid small things” but it doesn’t matter right now. All that matters is that Maddie’s getting better. She got diagnosed on 5/07/2020 it was 1 month after her birthday. She passed out at school at 10 in the morning and no one could wake her up. Not even the teacher could get her up. I was still in the school at the time so they called me down immediately to try and get her awake. The police, hospital,and my parents were called. The paramedics arrived first and then my parents after, the police arrived 15 minutes after the secretary made the call. 

I swore when I saw her lying at her desk and I held her hand. It felt Cold. When the paramedics got there I wouldn’t let them take her away from me, so they had to wait until the police came to restrain me. A 14 year old girl in a private school made a fool of herself in front of her parents. I was so disrespectful to them and everyone else. I was in the fight,  flight or freeze mode and it chose to fight. The police took me to my parents, flailing my arms trying to get out of their grip so I could see my sister.

 I looked over my moms shoulder since she’s so short and I saw my sister being put into the back of an ambulance. I cried harder than I’ve ever cried before. It was about 5 hours later that she got an MRI when she finally woke up right then and there in the front of the hospital my dad finally couldn’t hold back anymore ,and brokedown. I couldn’t tell what it was from . If it was from the bleach on the floor which was his least favorite smell,or the fact his youngest daughter got diagnosed with cancer.

It’s the next day now and my snapchat is filled with snaps from my friends and VB team. Everyones congratulates  me for the serve I made and then I smell the air just to smell pancakes, the best smell in the world.So I get out of bed and get dressed into a fluffy pair of pants and a big sweatshirt. I brush my hair and that’s when my father calls from downstairs. I stop brushing my hair and say to myself “it looks good enough” before I go downstairs and eat the delicious pancakes.

I get downstairs to see Maddie there and I ask her“How did you get here so fast?”I asked smiling

“You’re too old to run fast anymore!” She replied, making me laugh. 

I go over to the table and sit down. My father asks me “why is your hair such a mess Lynn?”

I look at him with a puzzled look and ask  “What do you mean?” 

He laughs and points to the bathroom”Go get a good look at yourself!” 

he says in a playful tone. So I got up and went to the bathroom and shut the door behind me. 

My strawberry blonde hair and light green eyes staring back at me from the mirror.  My bruises from past volleyball games on my arms, and legs basically all over my body. I look at my wavy hair all the way down to the middle of my back and notice how frizzy it is. I use my brush to comb it out, and get it straightened out. After I do that I head out to see the most delicious pancakes in the whole world. They had chocolate syrup, strawberries,and little bites of banana on them too.

I sat down to eat and get a big whiff of this amazing smell. Then those beautiful pancakes sat down right infront of me. I swear I was drooling but they looked delicious. How could I help myself? After my dad passes them around he sits down and we all dig into the exquisite food. My dad only makes this type of food for maddie never me, Whenever she isn’t here i usually just have a slice of toast, or a small bowl of cereal.

After breakfast I clean up the food by taking them to the sink and rinsing them off, so there’s nothing on them. I put them carefully down in the sink and go back to the table. “So Maddie has something to share with us?” 

My father says smiling and anticipatingly. Maddie then stands up like she’s going to make a huge announcement. 

“The doctors  said they can cure me with Mitotic and topoisomerase inhibitors or whatever they call it. They said it would be around 20,000 dollars but I knew you guys had enough money, so I signed your names on the sheet to cure me!”  The room went so silent you could hear mom and dads worry in their heads.

“What’s wrong guys? I can be normal again!”Mom and Dad exchange worried glances. “Of course honey!” Mom has such a worried tone, and Dad has his head in his hands. All of a sudden dad stands up, shoves his chair in and walks upstairs at a quick pace and slams his door to his bedroom.”David.” 

My mom says and goes  after him. I’m just in the dining room with Maddie. She looks at me confused. “Did I do something wrong?”

She asks in a meaningful voice (for once). I didn’t know what to say. If she was being sincere or not.

My mom finally came out of her room “JaeLynn go to your room, im taking Maddie back to the hospital. I’m going to have a little chat with her on the way there.”

 she said. And at that moment, I knew Maddie wasn’t just getting a “Little chat”. So I did as she said, and went up to my room and shut the door behind me. Immediately after I do that, mom starts calling out Maddie. I can barely hear anything, everything is muffled

I look around in my room. The same baby blue walls with green paint splatter on them. I see my white desk,made out of wood with the same green paint splatters. Then there’s my trophies. From my newest one all the way to my first one I got when I was Seven. Such a memorable moment. It was when I got to state for my outstanding performance. I was playing with kids that were Eight and Nine! I felt like such an outcast in that group. 

I was practicing with my team in our personal gym and I was in fourth spot and my friend Maggie did a perfect set for me while she was in second spot and I put that ball in the best deep corner. I think that was the best one my coach had ever seen, especially from a 7 year old.  She was so impressed by me she got me a little statue of a girl spiking the ball over the net and the wording on it said “#1 spiker”, and she gave maddie one that said “#1 setter”. That’s how we became best friends.

She goes to the same highschool as me and she’s on my volleyball team. We’ve been friends for about nine years, soon to be ten. She’s a year older than me, but she got held back for ripping out a kid’s hair in 2nd grade so me and her got in a class together. She scared me at first, and even the teacher was scared of her, but I was her only friend and it was like that forever. We’re in 9th grade together now and I’m 15 and she’s 16.

I get dressed into a pair of pjs and scroll on my phone. I look at the snaps from this morning. Some of them are congratulating me, others are just streaks. I continue to scroll on my phone until my bestie texts me. It’s always bad when she texts first. Bc that means she isn’t tired and we’re going to stay up the whole night talking.Im already tired so i don’t answer her, just for both of us to sleep well tonight. She texts me 

“Nice corner you hit today. I’ve been telling you for months you need to teach me how to do that 😭 😭 😭“, I laughed at her remark, tempted to write back.I smiled at her text then put my phone on my night stand i looked at my easel and i went to clean it off.

After i got my easel cleaned off i looked at my cats food bowl noticing it’s empty. I look around the room and notice I can’t find her. I shrug it off and go in my closet for some cat food. I get the cat food and pour it in her bowl. She always stays in my room.Everyone knows not to let her outside into the wild. Ecsp-ecialy from the Tuna incident. When I was about 10 I got a cat named tuna. He was the best cat I could ever ask for. 

One day Tuna got out of my room.  I don’t know how it happened but he got out. My sister was about 3 at the time and Tuna was scratching at the door to go outside. My sister could actually reach the door handle to let him outside. So she did and shut the door after he went out. My mom was driving me to school at the time and my dad was working in his office since he is a work at home dad. 

He didn’t even notice the door open. It was about 7 hours before I came home from school. We live in the country so it takes longer to get there. When I got home I went to my room and called for Tuna. But he didn’t answer. I particularly thought he was sleeping under my bed, so I didn’t think much about it. 

I filled up his bowl since he always came running to the food bowl once he heard the food against the metal bowl. This time he didn’t come so I looked everywhere in my room. I went downstairs to ask my dad if he had seen him.

 “Dad, did tuna come out of my room today?” He just shooed me out of the room. I guess he was on a business call or something. About an hour later mom finally pulled into the driveway. I ran out in tears.”What’s wrong JaeLynn?”

she asked in such a calm tone “Tunas missing” By this point I was sobbing. She hugged me. 

“He’s probably just in your room somewhere sweetie”

“No mom, he’s not in there, I checked everywhere!”

“Its ok let me rest then we can go look for him” 

“Mama you don’t understand!”

She ignored me and went inside. I followed after her looking everywhere in the house. Looking in the kitchen, dining room, maddies room, and even my dads work area. My dad wasn’t thrilled when he came back to see his room messed up and everything disorganized. Maddie kept following me around the house and saying stuff like “Tutu” , what  she called Tuna.”Kitty”, and  “out out” non understanding what she meant by that but she always said that when she was waiting by the door.

I looked everywhere and I tore up the house. Me and my family came  to an agreement that  Tuna got out, and that my parents wouldn’t be able to trust me with a cat for a while. It wasn’t until a year later when maddie finally fessed up and told us that she let tuna outside, and that she didn’t feel bad about it since she never liked that cat anyway. 

I got so furious at her I yelled at her for days, and she was only 7. I got so angry at her while we were in this quarrel when she teased me about “Not being able to function my emotions”, or something stupid like that. I punched her in her side, and she still has a little scar from me to this day.Lets just say she never came into my room and never touched my cat again. The only time she did is when we got Cookie, my new cat. We got her last year after me and my parents had enough money.

Cookie is a Main coon ragdoll moggy. She has a light brown fur color with little black circles all on her fur. Her fur is super soft, and relaxing to pet on stressful days. I got her 1 year ago when she was still a kitten. She’s always been in my room, and she’s never left my room once. Cookie gets home sick when I leave for school, so she’s always happy when I come home. She would always meow at me, rub against my legs, and bats at her food bowl. Somehow she never got fat. I feed her so much that sometimes I think she will explode!

I hear my mom get back and slam the door.

“David, get out here now.”

“Yes matha?”

“That brat actually signed both of our names on the paper, and now we can’t get them off.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Does my face look like it’s kidding?”

“No martha it doesn’t”

“I’m shocked you’re not even angry. She is your favorite after all”

My dad just stormes back into his room furious. I don’t hear any arguing after that so I think it’s safe to come out of my room. I  open my door and shut it quietly, so then they don’t hear it shut. I slowly make my way down to the kitchen noticing no one is there. I go to the cabinets and pull out some cereal. I pour it into a bowl, and go to get some milk from the fridge. I open the fridge door and notice there isn’t any milk, but i can just eat my cereal without any milk

I take my bowl of dry cereal up to my room to eat it. I don’t have a spoon or anything but cereal is cereal with or without the spoon. I sit on my bed and eat my cereal just scrolling through my youtube feed. I finish my cereal about 10 minutes later, but when i finish it i put down my phone and head back downstairs. I go to the kitchen and hear my dad working in his office with his door shut. I don’t know where my mom is, but I suspect that she’s probably in her room watching a new show or something like that.

I rinse out my bowl and head back upstairs to go snuggle with Cookie. I get to my room and sit on the bean bag chair in front of my bed and turn on the tv right in front of me. I watch a movie and Cookie lays on my lap petting her. She’s purring so loud I feel like the whole room is shaking. Her purr only lasts a few seconds before she jumps off my lap, and jumps on my bed. I look at my clock on my wall and see that its 11:00 p.m. I turn off my tv, and get dressed into a silky shirt and a pair of matching silky shorts. I brush out my hair, and get into my bed. I turn to my right side, and fall asleep.

FOOTBALL

  BY:DJX

Hi my name is Ben,I’m 23 and I’m going to tell you about my childhood and how I played football when I was a kid.

I was born in 2001,September26.

Fast forward to when I was six and I started to get interested in football and on my birthday I got a football to play with my older sister. My sister and I went outside to play catch and the football coach was walking by.

“You are good at throwing a football.” seid the coach.

“Thank you” seid Ben

“Your welcome”

“I have a question”

“What that kiddo”

“Can I join the football team for the quarterback since I’m good at throwing the ball?”

“Yauy you can. Let’s start you off at widresever so you can get used to running first.”

“Ok thank you for letting me know coach”

“Your welcome Ben.”

So the next day I was on the football team doing drills and running laps around the football field. The next day we were doing drills like the left then cut right to chech the ball in mid air to get a touchdown.

“You are good at catching the football and throwing it.” sied jem.

“Thank you for the compliment man.”

“No problem for my best friend.”

I had the best time in football and we had made it to the big leagues and we had won.That was the first big game of the year.We had to head home after the game.My mom was worried for my safety on the way home from the bus making noises when we were leaving the school.

We had another football game and we were going to the new york field to play in and we were only 9 and 10 from the age and we are in a famous football field and we are from New Jersey.We are far from home to go back right away.The coach got about 20 rooms for each on of us to be in ower own room to be in and we get to do water we want to.But we have to be quiet whal we are doing the stuff that we want to do.

It was the next day and we were on our way to New Jersey on the school bus and it should take two days to get there.Well i was wrong cuz the bus broke down and nowone had sarves for their phones.But luckily the coach had a satellite phone for just in case this happens to us on the way home.We all called ower parents to let them know that we whald be home later than planned.So instead of taking two days it whald take about three days to get home safely.

The next day we broke down again so we had to call our parents again to let them know we won’t be home as planned again. We were getting irritated.I helped with the engine.We had to tear the engine apart so we could fix it so it wouldn’t break down again.We put the engine back together and we got back on the main highway so we could get home.

The next day we had made it to the school and we had to go home.My dog was so excited to see me again,my sister was still being a jerk like she always is.The next day I was sore as can be win I woke up and thin my sister sad to take the dog out and i told her to take the cuz of how sore i was.She told on me for not taking the dog out and they said

“Why don’t you take the dog out yourself cuz your brother is to sore to get out of bed to take the dog out.” said mom

“No it’s not my chore.My chore is the dishes every other night.

“Thin dishes ant his chore if taking the dog out is so hard to do.”

“O my god I will take the dog out cuz i don’t whant to do dishes every night cuz i whant it where we swap nights.”

Like I said she is a jerk and onley thinks about herself and she stells all of my hard earned money.On a Tuesday i had to mow the lawn.I got paid by my parents to mow the lawn.I got paid $50 to mow the lawn.

We had gone back to school the next day and every one had been hanging on me all day asking me all kinds of questions like 

“Are you a football player?”

“Yes I am a football player and we won awer last game by three points.It was a close game.

Worst Car Crash in NASCAR

Worst Car Crash in NASCAR 

By Trisha Payless

I saw the crowd roar in joy. I smile getting into my car. I look at my opponent. I heard a gunshot and the race was off. I was three laps in and I saw two cars on my side. I see them getting closer. 

BOOM!

I was in the air. I saw the sky and then the ground over and over. The ground upside down. People yelling.

“MICK! MICK! SOMEBODY  HELP.” Ben yelled. Ben was my brother.

I heard the ambulance there, but I couldn’t see it. The race was stopped. They tried and tried to get me out, but they noticed I had a broken neck, arm, and leg. They did the Jaws of Life on the car to get me out. It took 40 – 50 seconds to get me out. They put a neck brace on my neck and put me on a bodyboard. They put me in the ambulance and took me to the hospital with my brother. Twenty minutes later my brother and I made it to the hospital. 

They performed emergency surgeries. Six hours after I got done with my surgery, I was in a hospital bed with my wife by my side and my daughter on my other side.  Ben was standing at the end of my bed. 

“Dad?” said Angel. She is his daughter.

“Yeah”

“ Are you going to be healed for my wedding?”

“ I don’t know but I hope I am.”

The next day I had to go do another surgery. I went in and my wife and Angel stayed in the room.  My wife was praying when I went in. Five hours later I got out and I was in my room asleep. My wife was holding my hand. Angel had her head on my shoulder. 

Two weeks later I got out of the hospital. My wife was driving Angel and me home from the hospital. When we got home the TV was on and President Trump was speaking. I sat on the couch with my wife. It got later and my wife started to make dinner. I was sitting on the couch watching her cook.

 “What are you making?” said Mick.

“Chicken tacos.”

“Okay.”

After dinner, my wife and I are sitting in bed. My wife is setting up an appointment for me. I fell asleep with her. The next day my neighbors were over and their little girl was coloring my cast on my arm. I smiled down at her remembering my daughter when she was little. I knew at that moment I was going to walk my daughter down the aisle.

Six weeks later I was in physical therapy and I was doing well. I was working really hard to get healed for my daughter’s wedding.  I worked every day. My arm was healed. I was still having trouble walking. I kept pushing through and never gave up. I had too much that I still wanted to do in my career, and I knew my daughter wanted me to keep going. 

  After my therapy session, I was sitting in the car waiting for my wife. When she got in the car we went to Taco Bell to get lunch. We got our food and went home. When we got home, she helped me in my wheelchair to the house. After I finished my food. I moved to the living room and sat on the couch turning on the TV.  My wife sat down with me. I put my arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to me. I was thankful to have her.

Three weeks before my daughter’s wedding, my wife went dress shopping today and I stayed at home with Ben and my daughter’s fiance. We were watching football. Five hours laters the girls came back from dress shopping.  I pulled my daughter into the other room.

“Princess I don’t think I can walk at your wedding I am so sorry”

  “It is okay Dad, I understand.” she said, looking at the ground.

The wedding day came, and everyone was getting ready. My wife was by my side. I was shaking in my wheelchair. Everyone started to fill the seats. I sat there listening to the birds sing thinking how beautiful this day was. I waited at the end of the aisle. As my daughter approached, she knelt down to me.  

“Do you want Uncle Ben to push you?”  she whispered.

I grabbed the arms of the wheelchair and slowly stood up.

“No I got it” I looked at her and smiled. “Let’s go,” I said softly. 

 With tears streaming down both of our faces, I walked my daughter down the aisle.

What She Saw

What She Saw

    By: John Doe

The forest was dark and quiet, the only noise was the light footsteps of a big buck walking through the woods. They didn’t see the deer at first but they heard the leaves crunching under its hooves. When it came into view they could see it was a ten pointer.

  “Look, it’s a big one.” Emma whispered.

“It’s a ten pointer, get ready to shoot it,” whispered Bob.

Emma aimed right behind the shoulder and was interrupted by another noise so she turned around and saw… she couldn’t see anything, It was dark. She woke up to the voice of her father saying,

“Emma, wake up!”

“What happened?” Emma asked.

“You fell off the tree,” said Andrew, her boyfriend.

They walked back home and Emma sat down on the chair. Bob was about to walk out the door but before he did Emma said,

“What was the noise I heard before I fell?”

“What noise?” Said Andrew.

“The sound of someone walking behind us.” 

“There was no noise Emma.” Bob said

Then Bob walked out the door and went hunting again. Emma and Andrew stayed behind and Emma went to bed. She had a terrible dream where she was hunting again and heard that noise again. She turned around and saw… Then she felt herself falling again. She woke up the next morning and couldn’t remember what she had dreamed about. She walked upstairs and her dad was up there.

“How do you feel this morning?” He asked.

“Fine.” She said.

“Do you want to go hunting again today?” Said Bob.

“No, I don’t think I will at all this year.”

“Alright.”

Bob left to go hunting and Emma sat there trying to remember what her dream was, but she couldn’t. Andrew came over and asked her how she was and then made her some breakfast. She started to eat and then she remembered something about her dream. She remembered turning around and seeing something but she couldn’t remember what it was. Then she remembered falling and hitting the ground. 

“Did you hear that noise yesterday?” Emma asked.

“No. What do you think you heard?” Andrew said.

“I don’t know but I definitely heard something.”

“What did it sound like?”

“It kind of sounded like someone or something walking behind us.”

“Are you sure you weren’t just hearing things?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

That was that so they continued eating quietly. Emma kept thinking about her dream and kept trying to remember what she saw when she turned around. She just couldn’t remember. All she could remember was falling off of the tree. Her dad came back in and she said,

“When can I go hunting again?” 

“I don’t know, probably tomorrow,” said Bob.

“Ok.” said Emma.

She spent that whole day trying to remember what she saw right before she fell out of the tree. She couldn’t remember what she saw. That night as she started to drift off to sleep. She felt like she was falling and she was. She was back in the dream so she turned around to see what was over there and she saw… She woke up and couldn’t remember again. She got dressed and ready to go hunting again. She walked upstairs and her and her dad Bob walked out the door and got to the tree stand and stopped. 

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Bob asked.

“Yup.”

They climbed up the ladder and sat in the tree stand. Emma kept looking behind them to see if anything was there. She didn’t see anything or hear anything  until they were about to leave. She heard the crunching of leaves like someone was walking towards them. She ran back there to see what it was but there was nothing there. 

“Emma, what are you doing?” her father asked.

“I heard it again! That crunching noise!” she said.

“What  noise Emma, there was  no noise.” Bob said.

“Yes there was, it was like someone was walking towards us and before you say anything there was a noise I heard it the other day and again today.” 

“I think it’s time to go home,” said Bob.

So they went home and Emma went straight to her room, she knew she heard something and she needed to know what it was. So when everyone was sleeping she snuck out and went to find out what it was. She walked down to the tree stand and went to look around behind the tree stand and she saw something hiding in the grass. It was a baby deer with a cute button nose and white on the tip of its ear. She couldn’t help but smile, she had been worried so much about such a little thing. A little and cute thing. She walked back home and woke up the next morning happy and she remembered what she had seen last night.
