Chadwick Prep

September 1: Kenya Welts
   "Good Morning Chadwick Cheetahs!" I chimed. "This is your host, Kenya Welts celebrating with anda on this fab Friday. One lebih week until Fall Formal which starts at 5:30 so don't be late." I paused as the theme song came on. It lasted a good 30 detik so I had time to review my lines.
   It was a pleasant feeling to have everyone watching me every morning giving them their needed news update. It made me lebih populer which is hard to believe since I'm already so popular.
   "Today's news starts with Kelly telling anda the weather for this week, then we have Dallas reporting live from the fungus filled lockers, and last anda have Thomas on entertainment. Looks like it is going to be a roar of a day,"
   I took my mic off as the makeup crew came rushing to my side. They fixed my hair, makeup, and clothes. They had to be fast because all of it lasted somewhere around 14 minutes. I sat patiently as they they spruced me up. I was use to it but it always made me feel like the object of attention.
   "Kenya," berkata Mr. Kinney. He was the supervisor of the production. "Get ready because anda are on in 5 minutes." Great, I wasn't even prepared.
   "Your hair is so shiny Kenya. What is your secret?" asked an excited girl on the makeup crew.
   "Shampoo!" I replied in mock surprise. "I know that girls on scholarships aren't that poor but can anda really not be able to afford shampoo?"
   "How did anda know I was on a scholarship?" She asked shocked.
   "You reek of it," I stuck up my nose for effect. The sad thing is that the girl admitted she was on a scholarship. I was just guessing but I could have looked and known for sure.
   She had ugly dark brown, naturally curly hair. Her dull gray eyes made no difference with her skin which was really pale. She was short and slender. She wore Levi jeans and a graphic tee that read, "don't hate because I'm pretty". Yeah pretty ugly. I almost felt sorry for her if she hadn't worn those ugly, tan Ugg shoes. Who would have know she knew anything on makeup?
   "You're back on in 5 . . 4 . . 3" Mr. Kinney started his countdown 'til I was back on the air. "2 . . 1!"
   "That is all for today but don't worry, we will be back tomorrow and for the rest of the school week." I berkata as I gave a wink to the camera.
   "And we are OFF!" screamed Mr. Kinney. "Great job kids! See anda tomorrow."
   I got up from my chair and examined my outfit. I needed to know of anything was wrinkled. I wore a black vest over my white shirt. I bought this from Rue 21 for a great price of $65. My black skinny jeans were a Prada exclusive. It also came with a gold, hooped sabuk for free which was $70. It came out as a total of $135 not including the amazing leather boots that I wore. I had to be the prettiest 7th grader there especially with my long, black hair. Usually it would be curled but I was really going for a casual look today.
   "Brandy!" I yelled. "Where is my Gucci bag?" brendi Mitchell came rushing to my side carrying my bag. I snatched it from her. I rummaged through the contents 'til I found my lipgloss and eyeliner. "Those makeup artist know nothing about makeup atau beauty."
   "I know," brendi agreed. She gave them a dirty look.
   "Where are the rest of the crew?" I asked as I put the items back in my bag.
   "Chelsea's arm is still broken and Teresa is busy with Brandon." brendi replied.
   Chelsea Hilton was in a tragic accident yesterday that broke her arm. Teresa Santiago was suppose to be holding her up during cheerleading practice but she got distracted when her phone went off. Chelsea was at the puncak, atas so she came tumbling down. I swear Teresa did that on purpose. Chelsea can't even go to the Fall Formal.
   Everyone is talking about the Fall Formal this year. I heard they would actually bring in acrobats for the circus theme. I would so cinta to be on the committee to help create the dance because I have some fab ideas.
   "Guess what I overheard in the girl's bathroom," brendi said.
   "Is it about me?" I asked.
   "Always," She replied.
   "Then proceed,"
   "Well it turns out that Teresa has quit cheerleading and she is now taking pIano lessons. She has been practicing piano over months now but she never would tell anyone. Her little sister Angelina was telling her friend that Teresa was taking the classes to out stage anda when the dance comes. Teresa wants to perform in front of everyone." I gasped as brendi talked. Teresa was so sneaky!
   "But why piano?" I mumbled lebih to myself then Brandy.
   "Pianist make tons of money," brendi replied as she checked her fingernails. They were a bright shade of green.
   "Why would she need the money? Isn't her father like a billionaire?"
   "I don't know," brendi said. "But I'm going to find out."

   "Who here knows anything about 9/11?" asked Mrs. Lennon. A few hand with up. "Then that will be our lesson for today."
   "Get ready for a long, boring speech," whispered Teresa to Brandy. They giggled.
   "9/11 was when a group of terrorist flew airplanes into both of the twin towers in New York. What made is really devastating was that there were people, tons of them, inside the building. Most of them died." Mrs. Lennon said. I flipped my phone out and the other girls mimicked
   Kenya: GR8 NEWS!
   Brandy: WAT?
   Kenya: PRADA FLIP FLOPS ARE IN SO WEAR SOME TOMORROW WITH A PRADA SWEAT SUIT.
   Teresa: AWESOME
   Brandy: DON'T OWN ANY, LET'S GO toko AFTER SCHOOL.
   Kenya: FAB IDEA! WE ALSO NEED 2 BUY FORMAL OUTIFITS
   "Is my lesson boring anda ladies?" Mrs. Lennon called us out. "'Cause I can stop teaching if that's the case."
   "No need Mrs. Lennon!" I trying to make my dark brown eyes look pure innocent. "Although your services are unwanted and unneeded, we appreciate anda for the effort. Not everyone was born to teach." Everyone laughed at my smart comment.
   "Those who have no talent, teach," komentar Brandy.
   "What if they can't teach either?" Teresa asked being as transparent as possible.
   "They end up alone with 12 cats." brendi replied. Some girls in the back giggled some more. It was fun to watch Mrs. Lennon's face turn bright red.
   "Then anda ladies can give me better ways to teach my class in detention Saturday!" She huffed.
   "You're a hopeless cause," I mumbled under my breathe.


This is an old story which I wrote back in fourth grade. I decided to publikasi it since I had no other use for it.
For those of anda who didn't see my pick, I'm trying to decide whether I should reveal at the beginning of my book, that a main character is going to die at the end. These are three versions of opening paragraphs that I've written. If there's one that anda like the best, let me know in the komentar atau in the pick.

1. This one gives away the most information, including when she dies and how she's killed:
I had no idea when I started at Skip’s Burger Grill, that on October 22, 2009, sitting there in the walk-in refrigerator, huddled together with my colleagues for warmth, my life would be changed...

Give away to the morning

Light is here

Look away from the mourning

Is she gone, is she still...?


And let the hari go ahead

Without you

Find a place, a dark space

To hide you

What’s a day, a sunny day

To you?

Fade away, let the your rainclouds

Guide you


There goes the downpour

Long gone your hello...


Find it in you

To make that last stand

It’s a silent drive

It’s her very last one.


Here come the clear skies

There goes your fare well...

Find the casual sun day

Starting with the stumbling wake-up, the strained smile

Smelling the hurried breakfast, bile up her throat

Shrinks away from it, queasy, holding her stomach

Never letting it leave her, the emptiness filling up

Inside her, determined to make it last


Heavy textbooks never all that’s holding her down

Uncertainty sawing through her, the only thing filling

What she considers a burden, but how could hunger

Be so cruel?

It’s drilling into her, snarling, never dulling

Never letting up, just a little longer

A little longer...


She dry heaves, it’s a tiny stall

And the walls are closing...

If anda spend your life wishing to die, willing to end it yourself, even, and the chance was given, would anda take it? If anda had chosen that fate, when your breath became slow and painful, would anda still wish that on yourself? In the shadow of death, would the reality of it dawn on you, when it was just too late?

A life of darkness was not one worth much, to Taylor.

She had been so desperate to die. Willing to do it herself, had it been possible.

She lifted the pisau to her bared forearm.

The flat, cold edge of the blade pierced the pale skin of her wrist. She felt no pain from it.

The midnight...

The flight from New york to Rome took an excrutiatingly long time to land and all the while i was getting lebih and lebih annoyed with Edward. "as soon as we land we will run to Volterra okay." I muttered quickly braiding my hand through Edwards and sighing contentedly.
"I know that it's just what if we are too late?" his voice broke on the word late.
"we won't be i promise." I didn't know if that was true but i was trying to soothe him i better not voice my true opinion out loud. I half dragged a depressed Edward through the terminals and growled sharply as I saw the bright sunlight outside.
"Oh...

Edward and i made the flight to new york with moments to spare.
while the girl scanned our passports through the database i tried to call carlisle. Again.
"Edward your growling stop it." i muttered to low for the human woman to hear.
"right sorry do anda think we will make it in time?" his words were cracked and strained in his effort to keep it together.
"I hope so Edward, I really do." i sighed delicately.
we got to our seats on the plane edward was muttering a stream of profanities.
"It is faster than running." I tried to placate him.
"i know that." he hissed at me.
"Hey don't take this out on me."...

She reached out and made contact with a brick wall.

Careful not to draw attention to herself, she scaled the building and hurled herself over the lip.

Without pausing, she ran across the rooftops, leaping the small gap between them. The pain was worsening oleh the minute.

She froze, hearing two voices coming from the alley below. She crouched low, peering over the edge, her heightened senses zeroing in on the conversation.

She calculated their positions, and leaped down, her figure a blur. She landed, pinning her first victim down. She clapped her hand over his mouth, stifling his scream. With...

Chapter 2:Getting to know him
Murphy
I spent break alone in the perpustakaan tiring to find a book I've wanted to read for a while-Pride and Prejudice.
It would have been nice to spend break with Savannah,catching up what all happened during the summer,but she had to spend it with her populer friends. I never liked them and they have never been nice to me. I was always too shy and geeky, I guess.
Stacey was the head of the group,the team captain. I remember when I met her-in third grade. She pushed me down to get to the swings first on the playground. That doesn't matter anymore, except that she...

New Smells


The smell. There was nothing like it the first hari at school. I looked to my brother. This was our first school tahun in Maine. The weather was crappy all the time but it was worth it I am not really a night person. Whose to say I have to do everything like my parents. This is the new millennium not 15 hundreds.

My family is different. Other then the fact that we have lived for hundreds of years, we are also vampire. 40 years ago, the human world found out about our world. Slowly rights were made to fit our needs, and schools were open for the young and unadvised. Humans could fall...

Also, when Sean turned to her and gave her a slight grin on his face before heading back with the girls, Jamie also smiled at him and after...

    CHAPTER ONE
    Ugh. I groaned internally as I woke up. My head was pounding, and broken gambar were swirling around behind my eyelids. I had no idea where I was, atau how I had gotten here. I refused to open my eyes and find out, atau give any other sign that consciousness had found its way back to me again. Not knowing exactly where and when I was was a dangerous business for me. Very dangerous.
    You see, the last thing I remember before the blackness hit, is that I was running…
    My legs were on fire. They...

The rain fell silently as I layed there waiting. Not like I had a choice though. But it had seemed lebih like a nightmare than reality. This wasn't how I imagined it... I never even got the chance to say goodbye. Let alone even explain what happened. I needed to wake up... from this nightmare, I tried, but never could... never did.

Life lesson: I learned that trusting people isn't what it actually seemed. There's lebih to it than anda would ever imagine, I mean, it's not just trusting people, but it's who to trust. How can we tell? There might be some ways we think we can tell, but those ways......

It feels like a piercing physical wound; to see her leave me again.

I cannot access the part of me that handles realisation. Serena called her Ashleigh. That child in her arms. Is mine.

My forehead is resting on the edge of the hard granite countertop, and I am trying to ignore the card that is currently lying right in front of me. I already know what is printed on it oleh heart.

Serena Meyer

PREFACE


The woods were filled with silence and I looked around for any signs of the slayer. As I heard the leaves on the ground rustling, I turned around and there he appeared from the treetops of a nearby pohon and he gave me a sly smile which sent shivers down my spine before slowly approaching me and my jantung was pounding inside my chest. I was vulnerable as there wasn’t anyone to protect me and I knew that I was going to die here, alone. Please let this be over fast, I thought to myself.
Every step that he took towards me was another step closer to death. His long, black hair was flowing...

A/N: Ok, this is just a short, about 500 word drabble I came up with. It's about 7-year-old Alice and her drunk derpressed father, called, of course, 'Daddy'. It's not much, but I though I'd post it. Constructive critisizm is welcome.

Please rate and comment.

The smell of his breath came off in waves of grief and alcohol mixed into what could be described as inner turmoil. Although Alice barely gave a thought to the bottle of whiskey in his hand, as she was lebih preoccupied with not throwing up from the smell of her father she should have gotten...

The snow is falling on this cold blistery afternoon.
    Just up ahead, in the clearing I could see a young woman gloriously and delicately skating. Skating, as if she had skated her entire life.
Suddenly, I began remembering an adventure that seemed so many moons ago.
Beyond the horizon I could see myself walking briskly toward the solid, cold ice that kept me Frozen in silence.
I could hear the ice crackling, like jagung meletus, popcorn being popped, beneath my shaking feet.
As I adventured onto to the ice, I felt a cold chill creep up my back that seemingly felt like a warning sign to...

Chapter Five

When Jamie stared and was speechless the moment she saw the handsome man in the doorway, that man looked at her for a few detik and still holding the sepakbola ball, he berkata to her with that grin of his, “So, this really your ball?” In return, Jamie didn’t answered his question, she just kept looking at him and figuring out what her mother was doing, Mac decided to be the person who will do the talking and from below, she looked up to the man and berkata to him, “Yeah, anda are holding my ball!”

After hearing that, the man looked down at Mac and when he squatted down to Mac’s...
