I was running in my backyard chasing my sister. Then I hear and feel my left knee twist and “pop”! I fall and my knee hurts for a while, and then stops. It felt like someone twisting my knee like they’re angry at me or something. It’s happened many times before and I don’t even know why. I was finally brave enough to tell my mom what happened. My name is Ariana by the way. The day after my mom called the Children’s Hospital and made an appointment. When we went to the Children’s Hospital I was a little nervous. I didn’t know what they were going to do, and that was why I was sweating on my forehead, breathing a little heavy like a person who just finished the marathon. The sound of doctors talking to patients and the machines going “chikaw” made me wonder why there was no one in the front desk. Then a person came rushing in like she was being chased by someone, and went to the desk. My mom checked in and I saw children coming out with casts and babies crying because they had an appointment. The nurse finally called us and the room we walked in was just blank with 1 poster. It even smelled like this pink medicine that I take when I’m sick (Yuck!). They asked what the problem is and I said, “Well when I lift my left leg it slowly pops.” They took x-rays and they made no sense to be honest, and did tests. Then they gave me un-useful options, they said I can leave it alone or get surgery (which will hurt a lot)! I was upset! I had to choose to leave it, I mean it’s better than getting pain… I guess. I was still upset though, so my mom bought me hot chips, to make me feel better. Then we left. As I was slowly eating my hot chips like a monkey eating his banana. Slowly. I thought why would I need surgery when my knee is perfectly fine? It doesn’t affect me or anyone in any way. I mean it’s not like I’m like my handicap sister or my other sister with one eye. Also, my knee isn’t that of a big deal and not a problem compared to my sisters. I should just accept who I am and be cool with what I have. We should be thankful for what we have been given.
So I see you are wondering why I am mad. Well I am mad because, wait… Pause, my name is Alex. So I am mad because my mom says, “You are going to ruin your brain if you play too many video games.” I said, “Mom video games teach hand-eye coordination.” Now I am GROUNDED because she said I was talking back, so she took my video games. She said I am grounded for 10 months, without video games. So everyday when I get home from school I am happy because I think I can play video games but I remember I am grounded and I don’t have my video games. Now I am really, wait… I thought of a plan. I can call my friend Tyler and we can make our own video games. So I went to my mom and said, “Can Tyler come over and study with me?” she said, “Sure but only to study.” “OK, studying only, I promise,” I said with my fingers crossed. So I called Tyler and asked him if he could come over. He asked his mom and he said thanks faster then she could say yes. He rushed upstairs and put his shoes on. He went outside got on his bike and went to my house. They also live in the same neighborhood. He told Tyler, “Sup, I’m glad you came because I came up with the best plan. So we are going to make our very own video game.” Tyler said, “But how?” I said, “We have to figure out how to make one scientifically. Step 1:Take paper and make the cover Step 2:Make instructions Step 3:Get metal and make it circle Step 4:Get electricity with metal Step 5:Draw the pic for the disc Step 6:Think of video game name But rather than making a video game we made this controller that controls our mind. So Tyler said, “This doesn’t look like a video game to me.” The controller had an opening where you could see the electricity. The controller started to control Tyler’s mind by making him act like a robot. I said, “Tyler why are you acting like a robot?” So then the controller pointed at me and I started acting like a robot. We started dancing like robots without noticing that we went inside stores and destroyed everything. While we were destroying the stores my mom went in my room and got the remote. She got the remote because she knew there was something wrong because we weren’t there and the room wasn’t like it was at first. It looked like a science lab. All the lights were off and she saw the electricity from the remote. It was a blue light flickering and she knew that meant it was being used. She picked up the remote and she looked through all the stores close by the house. Then she found us. My mom came to the store we were in and brought the remote. She didn’t know what was going on, so she was running as fast as she could, then it just started raining and my mom accidently dropped the remote in a puddle. So Tyler and I became normal again. Tyler said, “What happened?” I said, “I think we were just robots.” We ran outside and my mom was standing there and she said, “There you are.” So she drove us to my house. When Tyler and I walked in my room you won’t believe what we saw. It was a video game that said Kill All Robots by: Tyler Butler and Alex Hall. Then my mom came in the room and said, “I am mad that you weren’t studying when Tyler was over.” I said, “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t last 10 months without video games.” She said, “Ok, but next time just tell me the truth.” I said, “Ok, I promise.” This time there was no fingers crossed.
The Evacuation By: Sara Hernandez part 1 It was a calm night, my two siblings sleeping soundly, and I was laying on my pillow falling asleep. Suddenly I heard a loud crash outside of my house. The crash was so loud that it woke up my siblings. Lily, the youngest was crying, holding her small little brown teddy bear. Henry, the middle sibling, was so in shock that when he went to look out the window, another loud bomb had crashed, only this time it was closer to my house. Early the next day, my siblings and I were at the train station. Before we left our house, the sun was barley up. London was up earlier than ever. At the train station, we were in longer lines, waiting to buy our tickets at the ticket booth. Our mother was going to buy the tickets for us and that was the last time we might ever see her. “Listen to me children,” my mother said, “Once I buy these tickets, John you are responsible to watch over your siblings do you understand me?” she said with a fierce face and a down face all at once. All of us had our own luggage and I was carrying a small satchel to hold anything that was small and important. It seemed to take hours, but we finally got our tickets from the ticket booth. Before we went on the train, my mother surrounded us in a circle and said, “Children, this is not goodbye, this is a see you later. Remember this children, family will always reunite with each other, okay?” We all shook our heads. Those were the last words we heard from her. I held both of my sibling’s hands and we walked into the huge crowd of children and adults. We were pushed and bumped. I held tight on my siblings’ hands and they held tighter on mine. We made it to the train, but when Henry got on the train, a huge crowd was walking towards Lily and I. The crowd was pushing and pushing my body and Lily’s. I tried to hold tight onto Lily’s hand, but she let go of mine. I couldn’t see her anymore. It was like an angry crowd was pulling her away. “Lily?” I shouted, but then I knew that she was far. I ran onto the train, found Henry, threw my luggage at him, and ran back to find Lily. I pushed people to see through and kept on shouting her name. “Lily!? Lily where are you!?” In less than a minute, I found her, standing still, her head looking down at the floor. She was not saying a word. I took a deep sigh and said, “Lily, you had me worried about you, I thought you were going to be lost and confused and,” I kneeled down to see her face. “We have to be going, the train will leave any minute now. Let’s go.” She nodded her head, took my hand, and we were walking to the train. It took about two days just to get to a small town named Hexham. I woke Henry and Lily up to get our luggage ready. “Come on Henry and Lily, we have arrived at Hexham.” I said. The train slowed down and we were walking to the exit door. The train stopped, and we got out. I thought there were more children coming out too, but no one else came out of the train. The weather was calm, no clouds up in the sky, and the cool breeze blowing at us.
The Evacuation By: Sara Hernandez part 2 I looked around to see what the town looked like. It was small, not a lot of people there, and only a few buildings here and there. “I believe we need to wait here John.” Said Henry. I turned my head to see him, “Yes I think so too.” It had been only a few minutes when we all heard a horse. We all turned our heads, and we saw a lady riding a horse carriage. She stopped the horse, got off, and was heading towards our way. She stepped onto the small stairs and she was standing in front of us. I had a better look at her. She had short black curly hair and on her head she was wearing a horse-riding helmet. She was also wearing a jacket and a knee length skirt. But what was strange about her was everything she was wearing was black. “Are you the children from London?” she asked us. “Yes ma’am.” I answered her. She looked at my ticket that was hanging on my satchel. “John Lewis,” she said and went to Henry, “Henry Lewis,” and to Lily, “Lily Lewis, rhyming Miss Lewis.” She smiled at Lily. Lily only looked at her strangely. “Well, children, let me introduce myself. My name is Nancy Brooks. You can call me Nancy or Mrs. Nancy or anything you would like to call me, okay?” We all shook our heads. “Okay then, follow me, we are going to my house.” She said, and I held Henry and Lily’s hands and we followed her. We sat on the carriage and Nancy said, “Hold on children, we are going for a bumpy ride.” The ride to Nancy’s house wasn’t far as I thought, but during the views of the small town, Henry and Lily were amazed. There were many churches, but not a lot of houses, which was strange. “John look, there’s castles in the town!” Lily said with excitement in her voice. Henry laughed and said “Those are churches Lily, see the big cross on the top?” She looked up, and so do I. “ Oh, but it still looks like a castle to me Henry.” We arrived to Nancy’s house in less than ten minutes. She got out and helped us get off of the carriage. “All right children, we have arrived.” She said. I looked at her house, the place where her house sat was a huge land with trees everywhere. The house was also big. The house was made out of tan bricks. On the right side of the house is a small cottage. It seemed like she noticed me looking at the small cottage, “That’s the place where all of you will be sleeping.” She pointed at the small cottage. Henry then said, “Can we go into your house?” “No!” she snapped at Henry. Lily then got closer to me and held my hand tighter. Is she scared of her? I thought to myself. Nancy then cleared her throat. “What I meant to say is that you can’t enter into my house. That cottage is the place you will be staying. Don’t worry; I won’t lock you inside the house. Now, go in.” she said. At the same time, we all said, “Yes ma’am.” We walked into the cottage, there was not a lot of detail in the house. The wallpaper was peach and there were small windows around the cottage. There were two rooms, one room had two beds and the other had two beds. I checked the cabinets to see if there was food inside, there was enough food for a week. I told Henry to help me move one bed from one of the rooms to place it in another room that we were all going to sleep in.
The Evacuation By: Sara Hernandez part 3 After that, I took my luggage into the room to put my clothing in the dresser. I also put away Henry and Lily’s clothing in the dresser. Ten minutes later, we had nothing to do, not until I heard Lily playing with her teddy bear. Then I saw Henry take out his book and he sat down on the couch and began reading the book. I didn’t know what to do then. I thought to myself, if it was a usual day, I would be drawing by now. I went to the room, found my satchel and took out my drawing journal. I looked around the house to see if there was anything to draw, then I see a flower vase. There were no flowers in the vase, but the vase was so old and the painting was so detailed, I began to draw it. It had been days, then it turned into weeks, then to months, and then I realized it had been a year since Henry, Lily, and I had come to this town. Every day was always the same, getting up, eating breakfast that I would make, going outside to play, coming back inside to eat lunch, Nancy coming in to say “Hello children, how are you today?” Soon it’s afternoon, and again we go outside to play, after that the dinner that Nancy made for us is ready, then we get ready for bed. The same routine over and over again, but Henry and Lily seem not to be bothered by it. Then again we never had entered into Nancy’s house. I didn’t think of going inside, but I never wanted to. When we go to sleep, I always thought that Henry would scream in the middle of his dream, or Lily would scream, but nothing happens, the room is silent. Mostly every night for me, when I sleep, I always have a memory of what happened before we had gotten here. After the explosion right next to our house, the windows broke into pieces and Henry got hurt by the glass falling on his arms. I screamed his name, rushing to him to pick him up. My mother then came into the room, grabbed Lily into her arms, and we both ran to the basement. More bombs exploded and more screaming. When we entered into the basement, right after I shut the door, I woke up. It scares me because of how Henry had the face of pain and how Lily was screaming in fear. Now it has been two years and I see Henry and Lily growing up. I’m now sixteen, Henry’s twelve, and Lily’s six. We never saw the town. The last time we all saw the town is when we arrived at the town. Spring is my favorite time of the year and one day, when we were outside enjoying the weather, I saw a red tulip next to the tree trunk that I was laying my back on. The color was a bright red, like it had joy around it. Then I looked closer, I saw the edges of the petals, the edges were white. I then remembered something. Something that I don’t really think about too much. My mother. It was her favorite flower, with the white edges. I told Henry and Lily to come over here and take a look at the flower. “It’s pretty.” Said Lily, “It reminds me of mother, her favorite flower, the tulip.” Said Henry. We decided to pick up the tulip. I held the roots of the flower, Henry opened the door to the cottage, and I placed the tulip in the vase that I drew. Lily had a small bucket of water and poured the water into the vase. After that we stood next to each other and stared at the bright red tulip. Then we all realized that we can be with our mother. The tulip will remind us of our mother. She is always there with us, and soon one day, when this war is over, we will be with our mother.
“Granny! Bert keeps touching my things!” Danny and Bert would you stop bugging me already your giving me migraines. Go play a game with each other or something while I’m at the flee Market,” said grandma. “Fine,” Danny said. Bert and Danny set out to look for something to do. They tried playing sticks, they tried playing army guys, they tried and tried but nothing seemed to entertain them, until Dan and Bert went downstairs in the furnace room to get there foam swords to play crusade. When Bert went to go grab his sword, a blue faded neon box caught his eye. He then grabbed it and blew the dust off. Dan then said “wutcha got there” Bert replied “I don’t know I found it under the shelf.” Dan replied “Well put it back, it’s just a box of junk”, “Wait What does solar quest mean?” asked Bert. “I don’t know just put the junk back already” said Dan.
Dan ran upstairs to get his GI Joe action figure to play but he couldn’t seem to find it. He looked under his bed, under his dresser but still couldn’t find it. Meanwhile Bert was left down stairs.... alone with a grayish neon box sitting before him along with a mind filled to the gills with curiosity
Bert glanced around the room and then started to play the game. He rolled once 10 spaces he moved. Bert rolled once again but the piece didn’t merge, he rolled again and again but nothing happened. Bert said to him self “ Dan is right this is a piece of junk”. Hey Bert! Danny yelled do you know were my…. Danny suddenly just stopped talking, when the house started shivering. Bert and Dan yelled earthquake they quickly ran under the kitchen counter and huddle together.
There was complete silence between Bert and Dan. It was quiet, too quiet, Dan as the older brother built up enough courage to get out from under the table he proceeded to walk to the door very cautiously, one step at a time. Dan opened the front door and to his amazement and awe to find countless creatures staring back at him waiting….
“Come on James,” Jake said, “we have to clean the house before she get back.” It was a Sunday morning. James and his big brother Jake were cleaning the house and Jake trips on a game. The name of the game was Underwater. So Jake picked up the game and showed it to James. James said, “Put that game down. We don’t have time to play it. But Jake did not listen and instead he opens the game and started the game but he did not read the directions. The directions actually say once you start the game, you have 2 hours to stop the game. “Jake come here!” shouted James. Jake drops the dice but the game thinks he started. So while James and Jake were cleaning they saw a puddle of water.
James rolled a 4 on the dice. Then he picks the fourth card up. On the card it said, “it has sharp teeth and it smells blood. The puddle of water got deeper and deeper and they saw a shark float pass them. James and Jake were so scared that they ran upstairs and called their mom. But mom did not pick up the phone. The boys were so scared that they stared to throw things at the shark to keep it away. One hour passed.
So Jake tried to get it away, so he rolled the dice but he rolled a 3 and he picked up card 3 and card 3 had a photo of a piranha. They were so scared that they did not know what to do for almost another hour. Then they hear a crash so they swam down stairs to find a bite in a vase. They fight the piranhas until James rolled the dice and he got a 6 and the shark and the piranhas were gone just in time before mom came home.
The story starts here. In Las Vegas at midnight there was a magic show. The cars were honking and music was playing. There was a Magician name Criss Blane Houdini. Criss looked like a masked person with a cape.
He was stupendous at magic but one day a person named Zigor came to the magic show. Zigor filmed at every magic show and put a video of how the magic tricks are done on his blog. Zigor always has a hood on so people won’t know who he is. Criss says, “Come in closer cause the more you think you see the less you will actually see.” Criss says, “Now I will saw the lady in half.” A gasp came from the crowd and then laughter because he did it. But Zigor was filming his secret. Zigor says, “hahahahahahah.” At the end of the magic show Zigor was gone and no where to be seen. Zigor went home and posted the video on his blog.
Criss went home and he went in his secret hideout where he keeps his magic collection. Criss went to sleep and he dreamed of laughter in his head. Criss woke up then he took some magic decks of cards and a magic kit out for his magic show tonight.
At the magic show Zigor was the first person there. This time he hid his camera in his hat so people won’t know he is filming. 30 minutes later the place was half full since some people saw the magic tricks that Zigor posted.
Criss says, “Now I will make myself disappear.” The crowd said, “Not true.” Criss did it. The crowd said, “Wow.” At the end Zigor was gone but at his seat there was a note. It said, “I will make you pay and lose your job.” Criss read it. Criss felt wretched.
The next night Zigor was there but he was in a disguise. Now, less than half of people were there. Criss says, “Now I will make one person in the crowd disappear.” The crowd says ,“Impossible” but he did it. The crowd says, “Wow that is so cool.” Zigor was gone and there was a note on a white piece of paper that said, “My plan is working.”
Criss kicked the chair and said, “How does he do this?” He called the cops but they did not believe him, so Criss went back home and got ready for the next nights performance. That night criss heard the laughfter again. That morning he took his magic stuff and he hid a camera in his hat and he went off to the magic theatre. But only 5 people came to the show. Zigor was in his disguise again.
Criss called the cops to hide there so they can check to see if Zigor is at the show and he was. But at the end of the show Zigor was gone but he left his camera there. Criss showed it to the police and they said, “The next time he comes they will arrest him.” So Criss went home and that night he caught who was making the noise. It was Zigor so Criss went to call the cops but he was gone. At the show there was two cops and Zigor. Zigor got caught and Criss said, “That is him.” So the cops arrested him. This time nobody came to the show because Criss canceled it. Criss went to see Zigor but the cops were sleeping so he can escape. There was a note on one of the cops it said “You will pay.” So Criss got ready for the performance. Criss was scared so Criss thought he saw Zigor next to him. He got to the show. Many people come to the show. Another guy named Phil was filming it, but it was really Zigor in disguise. Zigor turned out to be Criss brother. The whole thing will happen again since Zigor escaped.
“RING, RING,” Lizzy woke up, to the sound of her ringing alarm clock. It was March 3, 2012. She had ISAT. She was so nervous; she studied all of her notes before the test and even the night before. She was a focused, kind, and honest person. She finally got to school, she was confident in herself that she will pass 6th grade. If she didn’t pass ISAT she would repeat 6th grade.
As soon as she walked in her classroom, the whole room was chaotic. The desks were moved into corners, by the window, and in front of the room. She had never seen the desks like that before. That’s when she saw Tim waiting at the front of the door. Lizzy and Tim had been close friends since kindergarten. Tim said, “Hey are you scared about the ISAT cause I know I am very nervous.” “I’m nervous too but I know I’m going pass the quiz.” The teacher said, “You can talk until it is 9:00 o’clock.” The boys and girls were talking to each other except Lizzy. She studied that whole time until it was test time.
The teacher said, “You will get 45 minutes, and if you still haven’t finished you will get an extra 10 minutes.” Lizzy thought, “Ok that’s enough time to finish the quiz. I am going to pass this quiz like nothing. I will make my mom so proud of me that she will be so happy, and that she might even buy me an iPhone 5c.“
During the test Tim kept calling Lizzy in many different voices. She whispered, “What do you want?” Tim said, “What page are you on in the test?” “You called me just for that, and just to ask me for what page I’m on?” “Well yeah basically,” said Tim. “I’m on page 21. I’m almost finished with it, what page are you on?” said Lizzy. Tim said, “I’m on page 15”.
Later on during the test, Tim said, “what did you get for number 5 on page 18?” “Why do you want to know what I got, use your own brain!” “It’s hard, I don’t get most of this stuff, just tell me what you got for number 5.” “I don’t care if it’s hard, figure it out yourself!” She yelled. Mr. Green’s faced turned red as an apple, because Lizzy wasn’t supposed to be talking during the test.
“Go to the office now! You know you shouldn’t be talking during the ISAT!” “But I didn’t do anything.” “Yes you did, you were talking when you weren’t supposed to.” “But Tim kept calling me in many different voices, asking me what page I was on, and what the answers were. I told him stop talking to me or I’m going to get in trouble.” “Is this true Tim? Did you ask Lizzy for the page and the answers?” “No this is not true. I never asked what page she was on and I didn’t ask her for the answers.”
Lizzy was sent to the principal’s office. Her hands were sweaty, she started to sweat, and she felt very sick waiting for the principal to call her name to go in the office. “So why were you talking during the ISAT?” “I wasn’t talking or cheating. It was Tim. He wouldn’t leave me alone. He kept bugging me to give him the answers and I never responded.” “I know it wasn’t you, and I believe you based on Tim’s history. He has a lot of records and plays jokes on many people. Even on teachers.” “Maybe Tim wasn’t a good friend after all these years, I was just too dumb to realize that.” When Lizzy got to the classroom and everyone looked at her. Lizzy said “I didn’t get in trouble.” Tim said, “Hey I’m sorry I lied…” She rolled her eyes at him and said, “Don’t talk to me. Forget about all the great times we had together ever since you put me in that place where I got in trouble.’’ At that moment she knew that she lost a friend for good.
Keante ran up the court. Lebron James stole the ball from him. Keante was wretched because Lebron took the ball like 2K and sprinted down the court dunking the ball. Keante was somber. He was feeling like a tiny man. So he got the ball and dribbled down the court. Keante shot a 3 pointer. He missed. Lebron got the rebound and dashed up the court fast and did a 360 by turning all around and dunking the ball. It made Keante very unhappy.
Keante got beat 54-25. He was very depressed. Keante was feeling like he did not know how to play basketball. But Lebron said Keante can play but also he told him that, “Practice makes perfect.”
After the game Keante and Lebron went to his house because they were going to hang out. But later Keante found out he played his father in the game. He was cheerful Keante told him. He wanted to play again and he said, “OK!”
Woof was walking in a dark forest. The trees had acorns. Woof smelled something like his family but it was a tree. He yelled, “Mother where are you?” Then he stopped and saw 5 caves and he went in each cave. “Is that you mother?” he kept saying. The fist cave was too dark. Then the second cave was too bright that Woof couldn’t see. The third cave was too small for woof. The fourth cave was too big that woof got scared. The fifth cave had a hairy, scary bear. After Woof saw the hairy, scary bear he ran to the pond. When he found the pond he went hunting. The pond had lots of fish. Woof caught a toad. Woof went in the water to catch some more toads. When Woof was hunting that reminded him of him and his mom hunting together. Then he was crying and said, “Mother I will be alone without you.” He said in a sadly voice. Then he heard a voice that was saying, “Is that you, Woof?” Woof saw his mother and he was happy.
It was a bad day for Caleb Rodriguez. The school bully, R.J., took his lunch money and his homework for the 20th time this semester. “Hey, dweeb, give me all of your homework from last night.” Caleb was very bright and did his homework every night, but R.J. kept taking his homework. Because of this Caleb got F’s on all of his assignments. The only grades Caleb got credit for was his classwork.
One day when Caleb was walking home he passed by the ‘‘EXOTIC PET SHOP’’ and saw a tiger for adoption. Once Caleb saw this sign his heart opened up and he ran into the shop. Then Caleb stopped. He looked around the shop as he saw the most exotic animals he’d ever seen. The clerk came up to Caleb and asked him did he see anything that interested him. Caleb started talking to the clerk about the sign that said : WOULD YOU LIKE A TIGER? WE HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD TIGER CUB IN OUR STORE.IF YOU’D LIKE TO ADOPT THIS CUTE FURBALL PLEASE SEE AN EMPLOYEE INSIDE.THANK YOU. The clerk then said ‘‘C’mon, I’ll show you’’. So when Caleb finally was in front of the cage where the tiger was he instantly fell in love with the cub; it was like he was hit by one of Cupid’s love arrows. At that moment the clerk saw that Caleb was worthy of taking care of this cub. While Caleb was staring at the cub, the clerk walked into her office and grabbed a piece of paper. That paper was a pledge that ALL new pet owners must agree to. The clerk stopped Caleb and asked him to recite the pledge after her. Caleb did as told and once he finished the clerk picked up the tiger and gave it to Caleb. Then Caleb said thank you and went home. Then he and his new tiger sat down together. Then the perfect name came to him, “Taz’’.
Everyday Caleb left the tiger alone at his house as he went to school. Caleb anxiously couldn’t wait to see Taz. But one day when Caleb walked by, R.J. tripped him and Caleb instantly fell to the ground. His papers were all over the hallway. Then that’s when R.J. saw a picture that Caleb drew of Taz. In a hurry, R.J. picked up the drawing and stared at it while laughing at the same time. Caleb’s eyes swelled up in tears as he grabbed all his papers and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Caleb ran out of M.K. ACADEMY and went straight home. Caleb knew right at that moment that he officially HATED R.J. From that point on he made a choice to never let ANYONE and he meant ANYONE stand in the way of what he wanted or what he thought was right.
It was the second quarter of the championship game. I was guarding Cardyel. Cardyel elbowed me in the chest. The referee blew his whistle and yelled, “foul!” I want to the line so I could shout 3 times. The first time I shot the ball it went around and around and fell off the side. The second time I shot the ball, it hit the backboard, rolled on the rim and fell in the hoop. The third time I shot the ball it went right in the hoop. It was all net.
Both the Green Dogs and the Snow Foxes got back on the court. The Green Dogs had the ball. I was still guarding Carerly. Jackson had the ball and threw it to Cardyel. I jumped in front of the ball when Jackson passed the ball to Cardyel. I tripped but I kept running. I passed the to Ivan who made a lay up. We had 10:00 minutes left on the clock before the third quarter starts. The score was 58 and 61.
I am on the pitcher mound and William was on second base. Then, William shouted, “You throw slow.” He was trying to distract me so I would throw 4 balls and his teammate could walk to first base. Next, William was getting his legs ready to run. I threw the ball to the Sam at second base. He caught the ball and then dropped it. Then, William ran toward third base so we got him into a rundown. So Sam chased William. William was close to the third baseman so he threw the ball to third to try to get William out. I go to second base because Sam was chasing the runner and no one will be there to get him out. The third baseman threw it to me at second. William slid to second base and was safe. I was upset because someone scored at the last minute of the last inning. My team was down by one and it was the last inning of the game. I felt miserable because my team lost the game. When you lose the game you should not be upset. You should be cheerful because you had fun.
Eagle Boy VS Chuck The Evil Chicken Maker BY TYLER BUTLER Tyler, aka Eagle Boy, was playing a cool 5D video game called “Attack of the Evil Alex and His Robots” in the arcade called Frycade when Tyler heard a security bell go off. The reason why Tyler heard that was because of his super hearing. Back at the scene of the crime, Chuck was robbing the bank. “Ha Ha! I’m rich, I’m rich I’m RICH!!!!!$$$$$” cried Chuck. And Eagle Boy won’t stop me because my robot will grind that little sucker into dust!” “I heard that,” said Eagle Boy flying to the rescue. “Ughh, not you again! Robot! Turn Eagle Boy into big pile of dust while I get the last thousand moolah for myself.” The robot was too fast but Eagle Boy was faster. He punched a big hole in the Robot’s stomach. “Ohhh! Wires! This will be a great time to pull those things out so I can make my own Robot.’’ Then he looked at Chuck, “Ok Chucky, all you have to do is give me the BBQ gun which you ALWAYS use to defeat me so I can break it in half and fly you to jail so the police can put you in a warm cell. I am not going to hurt you. Come to think of it, how about a clean smack in the face.” Now that made Chuck scared, even just thinking about it. “No! Never! The money is mine! My BBQ blaster is mine! And I will not let you slap me!!!!” Eagle Boy smirked and did it anyways. With Eagle Boy’s super flying, he broke Chuck’s Blaster, he slapped Chuck’s face, and put Chucky into jail. “Since that’s done I guess I will go back to the arcade and beat my record and get a nap and make my own awesome cool body controlled robot.”
It was a dark and stormy night … not really, that just makes it sound better. So it was actually just an average summer day in New York City. Bob Johnson and Joe Blake, yes they have average American names and I’m going to tell you a story about these two best friends. :P
“Are you ready to go the toy store down the street?” asked Bob.
“Almost,” Joe replied.
The two guys were getting ready to go to the toy store and buy this super cool action figure that they were saving money up for. The action figure was a premium limited edition red Power Ranger. There were only limited quantities and the thing that makes this one different than the other power ranger action figures is that this one was the one with a sword that comes with it. Don’t worry, they’re only ten and eight so they still want action figures. The two of them have saved money up by working for neighbors and doing extra work at home.
“Joe, let’s go!” shouted Bob.
“Can’t you wait one more minute dude?” replied Joe.
The boys went outside and began to walk towards the toy store. After ten minutes, they arrived at Dana’s Emporium. They walked in and the boys got so excited that Bob froze. “BOB! We’re here, don’t freak out now!” explained Joe.
“Welcome to Dana’s Emporium, I’m Dana,” said the old woman who the boys weren’t paying attention to.
“Duuuuude! Hello? Earth to Bob, Earth to Bob,” asked Joe.
After shooting him with a nearby rubber band, Joe awakened his best friend. Dana was just standing there waiting for a response that she didn’t get. The boys go around looking for the premium Power Ranger figure.
“I’ll go down this aisle and you go down that one,” demanded Bob.
“Okay, first one to find it gets to keep it for the first day!” responded Joe.
“Challenge accepted, make that the first week!” Bob said excitedly.
So the boys obviously went looking for the toy and Dana was still there, thinking in her head, “Am I going to get a response or not?” (The world may never know!)
Bob and Joe scurried and searched through aisles but unfortunately; they didn’t find the toy they had dreamed about for months. They started to worry that the big and extravagant toy store of Dana’s didn’t have the premium red Power Ranger action figure.
“No, did you Jobo?” replied Bob. (Little boys give each other nicknames right?)
“Nope, the challenge is still on and the reward is still up for grabs I guess,” said Joe in a thrilled tone.
The boys continued to look through the aisles where the action figures for boys were. They had each gone through five aisles and they continued to eagerly scan around to make sure the other one didn’t get to the figure if the toy was actually there.
Who was going to get to the toy first? (Mysterious Music Plays)
Dana watched the two boys continue running around through her grand store. She was wondering what they were looking for. Could it be the limited edition premium red Power Ranger action figure behind her counter?
“Come on, did you find it? I just want to play with it now, I don’t care who gets to it first anymore,” remarked Joe.
“Yea, agreed! You want to look for it together man?” questioned Bob.
“Sure, let’s do it pal!” stated Joe.
Dana couldn’t stay in this situation anymore. She asked the boys what they were looking for. Bob and Joe told her they were looking for the finest limited edition red Power Ranger action figure. Dana busted out laughing. She was right. The boys were looking for the one behind her counter. Was she going to tell them that it was behind her or was she going to let the boys keep looking for it? She decided to tell the boys to keep looking for it by telling them that the toy was all the way in the back of the store in the exclusive zone of her emporium. (Wow Dana is such an appalling old woman.)
The boys kept on looking and they went all the way to the back of the store to keep on searching for their desired action figure. To their misery, they could not find the toy at all. They went back to Dana and ask her. “Are you sure the toy is there in the back of the store?” questioned the boys curiously.
“Boys, you mean this toy?” asked Dana as she pulled out THE limited edition power ranger figure. (DUHN DUHN DUHHHHHH) The glorious scarlet color shone upon Bob’s flabbergasted face. The sword was perfectly polished in the Power Ranger’s hand. It was a moment that Bob would never forget in his short-lived life so far.
“Oh my god! It’s so beautiful! I want it NOW!” exclaimed Bob.
“Well considering that you two ignored me when you two walked in, I think I’ll just keep it for myself and give it to my friend, Josh,” explained Dana.
“Awwww, come on Mrs. Dana!” begged Bob.
“Nope sorry boys, you two left my question hanging in the air and I will leave your desired toy hanging on the wall of Josh’s bedroom!” replied Dana. HAHA!
Hypnotize vs. Hit ‘em up By Brandon Rios “I guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid,” Biggie said. “What you trying to say Biggie?” Tupac said. “Man…. I’m tired of rapping with you, and everyone thinking that you better than me,” Biggie said. “Well its true Big. You ain’t ever gonna be better than me in yo’ life!” Pac replied. New York City’s two most amazing rappers fight about being better than each other. Tupac Shakur from eastern Harlem and Christopher George Latore Wallace from Brooklyn express their thoughts in songs. After both men talk rubbish they start making songs about each other. Tupac’s irritation against Biggie was gaining and worsening. So Pac’s response to his irritation against Biggie was making a song named “Hit ‘em up”. After the world listened to what Pac had to say against Bad Boy Entertainment, Biggie, and everyone who was involved with Bad Boy’s, Biggie had to act. Bad Boy Entertainment is a record label that biggie signed with. And Death Row is a record that Tupac signed with. Biggie replied the “Hit ‘em up” song with calling a hit squad on Tupac. 2pac Shakur was shot 5 times on a elevator. Rapping about someone and putting out for the public isn’t always the best way to solve your problems. It might lead to the wrong solution. One day a boy named Alex had the same problems as Tupac and Christopher. Alex made a remix of “Hit ‘em up” to a kid he didn’t like and put it on YouTube. Alex didn’t know the kid he made the song about had friends in a gang and a month later Alex was pronounced dead with the album’s poster in the background. The kid that wanted Alex killed said that he wanted him killed because he was making too much of a diss on him and needed to act. The kid stated, “ Alex had it coming,” but he doesn’t feel wrong for what had happened.
Diego always was a sleepy kid. Diego always sleeps on the car rides and also at school. When Diego is sleepy he feels like he can’t keep his eye lids open. He also feels like he is going to fall. Diego likes to go to sleep late because he likes texting his friends on kik messenger. Diego knows he is not supposed to go to sleep late because he is a very grumpy kid. Diego goes to sleep at 3:00 in the morning. When Diego’s mom tries to wake Diego up he yells at his mom.
Diego’s mom strolls into his room and yells, “Diego wake up or I’m going to pour cold water on you.”
Diego screams at his mom saying, “Leave me alone!”
Then Diego’s mom gets the dog, Luna so Diego can wake up. Luna the dog is a baby pitbull that likes to lick people. Luna is white and has black spots. She looks like cow. She snorts like a pig. When Luna enters, she dives into Diego’s bed. Then she jumps on the bed and licks and licks Diego’s head. This makes Diego chuckle but he still feels awful.
Diego was gloomy even though the dog had licked him. He was so tired that he stood up and fell. Diego busted his nose and started to bleed. He looked dreadful and had to clean his nose. Diego stated, “Do not ever wake me up.”
On a hot summer day in New York in the 90’s, a puppy tries to find his destiny in finding a family but soon is in another problem. He is a secret super hero, just like superman, and tries to hide his power and act like a normal dog. He wants to save people as well. This is his story.
* * *
I was born on a hot summer day in a cardboard box with nine of my brothers and sisters. My mom was a blonde Labradoodle. We have been living there for about a week. I could tell that I was the smallest of all my brothers and sisters. They called me the runt. My mom always paid more attention to me because I was the smallest and helpless. My mom named me Max and I like it, because my mom looked after me the most my brothers and sisters hated me. Like each time we played they would try to trick me and run and leave me there. But then I had an incredible sense of smell I followed back to the box. We were doing a race because we were fighting over a chew toy. I was faster then all my brother and sisters. I discovered a lot of power emerging out of me.
Every one of my brothers hated me except my older brother Mathew. When he’s around my brothers he will play around and act like he hated me, but then he will go and ask me to play with him. He was my favorite brother. Like usual I get up and drink from my mother‘s milk then we go out and play. After all my brother’s played they went to sleep. Mathew and I were out playing until one of our sisters spotted us playing. She went and told my other brothers, so my brother told me to run. We were running until Mathew told me to leave without him, so I ran as fast as I could. I can hear Mathew crying because of the punishment they were giving to Mathew. The next day as I walked to my house I heard no barks or I couldn’t see my mother. All I saw was nothing so I imagined the stories that my mom told me about a monster who takes dogs and then sends them to like a prison for dogs
Emily was a girl that had big dreams. Emily’s desk has a drawing of two hearts combined. Emily sits in the seat of LOVE. Emily has dark braided hair, wore Twinkle toes for shoes, wore blue jeans, and had DARK brown eyes. Her favorite hobbies are drawing, playing soccer, and reading. One day at school Emily found a note in her desk. The note was from her secret admirer. Emily felt flattered and flustered. There was only one problem, Emily had a crush on someone already. Emily hopes that her secret admirer is her crush…
Emily and her friend try to find out who the secret admirer is by finding clues. Emily found notes all over the school but none of them have a name in sight. The next day Emily found a note in her locker. The note said " Follow you heart and your heart well choose. Emily said " Well how will I do that, I need a doctor."
Kayla, one of her friends, replied " That is not what the note said. The note said follow your heart."
"I didn't know, don't need to be all mean"
" WEEEELLL SOOOORRRRRYYYY!!! “
“ How am I suppose to listen to my heart when all I hear are thumps?”
“It’s just a saying Emily. All it is saying is ‘who do you like,’ then you could write that person back saying who.”
“Who what????”
“Who you like!! Is your mind asleep or something???”
“ No!!! “
When class was over Emily and Kayla went to see if there were any more notes in her locker. When she checked there were 2 notes. Emily opened the first note.
“ I don’t know if you know who I am but, my initials are J.E. “
The second note said…
Look around, there might be kids around. Find the person with these initials and you will find out my name.”
So, Emily looked around and saw that there were only 3 kids with these initials.
“ Alright!!!! There are only 3 kids with these initials. All I need to do is ask who wrote these letters.” Emily went up to Jonathon and asked if he wrote the note but he said “ No I didn’t write you any note.” Then she went to James and asked but he said no also. There was only one more boy. She walked up to Jayden and asked and he said “YES!! I wrote that note. I’m your secret admirer. “ Jayden smiled. Emily had the same reaction. She smiled and said“ Thank you secret admirer!!”
Nerdy Phil Becomes A Magician! Short Story 2 By Alex A
In a world full of bullied kids there is a kid who gets bullied named Phil. That is me. I look like an ordinary teenage boy. I have glasses and long hair. I always carry a pen in my shirt packet. I also have a high-pitched voice. I go to a school called The School of Awesomeness.
My principal is called Mr. Robot Master. He is a robot. The principal is the meanest principal ever. Whenever a student does something wrong they get a SMACK! This means the principal get’s a stick and whacks the person on the arm. The principal always smacks me whenever I do something right. He says it is wrong. The principal is mean to me because my parents wanted to get him fired. My parents want to get him fired because I always come home with red marks on my arm.
Because of this, people started to bully me. They would say, “There’s the trouble maker.” They would take my school backpack and throw it away in the trash. The principal would do nothing. In my head I thought, “The principal is a jerk.” I felt furious at him.
I saw a video of someone doing magic, so I started to do some magic at my house. I practiced in my room at home because that was only quit place in my house. Whenever I practiced a new magic trick I would do it at school. Then people started to like me more after I did the magic tricks. People would call me P Dog. People would say, “Wow great magic trick P Dog.” I would say back, “Thanks.” Everyone apologized to me for being mean.
One day I tried hypnotizing the principal with a watch and it worked. I made him tell the truth and only the truth so he would tell everyone why he would smack people. He said, “Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. I want everyone to be perfect.”
The principal would only say the truth about everything people asked him. Meanwhile the principal tied up all the police so they won’t arrest him because he was being mean the kids. He burned the rope and all the police robots were gone in the U.S.A. He did that by multiplying himself. He did this so they can’t escape and then they can’t arrest him.
Now everybody would trash his office. One day the principal got unhypnotized. He got arrested by ten secret policemen who dressed up like kids at the school. The policemen destroyed him and a new principal was hired. He was nice. He was called Mr. Fun. It is nice here now.
My new name is P Dog. I look like a punk kid. I always wears sunglasses. I also wear a hood. That is the end of my story about a kid who gets bullied at the beginning. And now a popular kid at the end who is a great magician.
It was the summer of 2013, and my family and I were driving to Gettysburg with a moving van. My new house was in Gettysburg, which makes me glad because my best friend moved there one year ago, and now I was moving to the small town. My dad got a job in the small town. He got a job as a tour guide, and he was going to give tourists a look around the location where the civil war occurred.
I used to live in Los Angles, California, but now I was moving all the way to Pennsylvania, which took us about three days. I’m the oldest in my family, Gabby is the second oldest. Joseph is the middle child, and Izzy is the youngest. As we arrived at the new house that my family was going to live in, it was already mid afternoon. The house had two floors, with three bedrooms. My sister Gabby and I decided to share a room. Joseph had his own room and Izzy also had her own room.
Outside of the house, the walls were painted white and a very light green. The very light green paint outlined the windows, the columns that held the front, and the triangle like roofs. Around the house there were trees, many, many trees.
I got out of the minivan, so did Gabby and Joseph. I grabbed my backpack with my two journals and ten books. I also grabbed my suitcase, with more books inside. I am a reader of course. Gabby grabbed her backpack with her suitcase too. Joseph grabbed his backpack too. “Kids, you can go inside your rooms. Your beds and dressers are already in your rooms.” My mom said while she picked up Izzy from her car seat.
We all nodded our heads and went inside the house. When we went inside the house, the first thing I saw was an old brown picture of a family on the right side of the hall walls. I took a closer look at the picture; there were four children and two adults. A mom and a dad with four children, three girls and one boy. The family looked sad in my opinion, and the picture was not black and white. It was like a brownish picture.
I took my eyes off of the picture and looked around the house. The house had a Victorian theme. The walls were a tan color. There were a few pieces of furniture in the house. I went into the living room; there was only an old couch with a dark wood table and lamps on each side. In front of the couch was a coffee table with a vase sitting on the table. I went to the kitchen; the walls were a mix of red and dark purple. The stove was there, with a few cabinets around it. I went to the hallway where we entered in, and there was a staircase. I went up the stairs to the second floor.
As I went up, I felt a cold breeze on the back of my neck. I turned around, and nobody was there. But the front door was open, so I thought it must have been the wind. I got on the second floor, there is a long hallway with many old pictures on the wall. I walked through the long hallway to find my room. I went to the nearest room, I peaked through the cracked door, and I saw Joseph in the room. He saw me. “Hey Margret, this is going to be my room.” He said. Joseph had already started unpacking. I nodded my head and continued walking.
I walked all the way to the last room at the end of the hallway. I opened the door, and I saw Gabby already unpacking her things. “Hey Margret, this is a cool room, big enough for the both of us.” Said Gabby smiling at me. I smiled back at her. The room had bunk beds, a dresser, and a window on the right side of the room. The walls were painted green, a very light green, like the ones outside the house. I put my backpack on the floor and I started unpacking.
It had been half a month and I hadn’t made any new friends at my new school. The only friend I had was my best friend, Jamie. We went to the same middle school, which is scary looking because when you see outside of the school, it is so old, the bricks are brown and inside is even worse. The walls are dirty and the lockers are rusty.
But there are many students, and none of them ever talked to me, except for Jamie. It was Friday and I didn’t know what to do. I went to my locker to get my things, and I left for my house. “Hey wait up Margret!” I heard Jamie behind me. She caught up to me. “Hey Jamie, another ‘no hi from any one’ day.” I said with a hopeless voice. Jamie then patted my back. “Don’t worry, soon someday someone will talk to you.” She said. I nodded my head, but she didn’t make me feel better.
My house was only three blocks away. I walked all the way to my house and I passed the house that was next to my house. Two boys were playing catch. One of them was about my age. When I walked passed them, the older boy whispered something into the other boy’s ear, and he stared at me.
I got to my porch to open the door, and the boys were still staring at me. Then they looked at the house. I went inside, and then closed the door. I looked at the old family picture, and then I got the greatest idea to talk to people. I smiled and I dashed to my room, put my backpack down, I went to my desk, and got out my writing journal.
On Monday, I went to school, and I had to find the nearest person that I could talk to. I saw a girl that was about my age; she had red hair and freckles on the bottom of her eyes. She was getting things out of her locker. I walked up to her and I said, “Hi, my name is Margret, do you know about the tragic event that happened at my house?” The girl looked at me with a curious face. “No and I’m Cassie. What kind of tragic event happened at your house?”
The Gettysburg's Haunting By: Sara Hernandez part 3
I cleared my throat, remembering what I wrote, and I said, “Well, during the civil war years, a family of four children lived in the house. The oldest daughter of the family was mad at her family because her parents weren’t happy with her for falling in love with a stable boy. Plus her sister and one brother treated her unfairly.” Cassie came closer to me, so I guess she wanted to know more.
“So during the middle of the night, she grabbed the sharpest knife and she stabbed her family multiple times. And when she saw her three year old sister while she was sleeping, she didn’t want to kill her because she was the only one who loved her. So she killed herself.” Cassie’s eyes widened. “Really? So the little sister was the only one who was alive?” I shook my head. “Wow, your house must be very haunted.” Cassie said with a surprised voice, and she walked away because the school bell rang. I was thrilled that someone was in shock of my fake story, so I continued telling it to many other students.
It was Saturday night and I was about to go to bed. I went to the bathroom down the hall to brush my teeth. As I brushed my teeth, I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I rinsed my mouth, I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror again, and I saw a girl looking at me. I gasped and turned around, nobody was there. “Gabby, was that you?” I shouted. “I’m in the room!” Gabby shouted back.
I was shocked. Some girl was staring at me. From what I remembered, she was wearing a yellow nightgown and she had brown hair. Her eyes were filled with terror. I turned off the bathroom lights; quickly closed the door, and I ran to my room. I was too scared to walk through the hallway when the lights were dim. I closed the bedroom door. “You saw something right?” Said Gabby, lying down on the bottom bed with the lights still on. “Yeah, I saw a girl, almost about your age looking at me.” I said.
Gabby sat up on her bed. “Does that girl have brown hair?” She asked. I nodded my head. “Then you saw the ghost girl. I think her name is Jane. She talks to me, but I don’t talk to her.” I nodded my head; surprised that Gabby talked to a ghost. I turned off the bedroom lights, and I went to my bed on the top of the bunk bed.
I had a dream, that it took place back some time in the 1860’s and I saw this family. The family was terrified of something. But what was strange to me was that the family was the family in the picture that was hanging on the wall in my house. It was during the night. The father shouted to the family saying, “Hurry, the cannons are going to kill us!” The family was trying to unlock the back door, but it wouldn’t open. Then I heard a bomb explode and the family had terror in their eyes. The cannon bombs killed the family.
Then after the explosion, my mind went black. Suddenly, I heard a girl’s voice whispering in my ear saying, “Tell the truth about us, or something will happen that you will not expect.” I woke up after the girl’s last word. After my dream, I told everyone the truth about the family, some were surprised that I made up the story, but some were not. Maybe it’s because the town has hauntings everywhere. But I told myself to never make up a story about a ghost.
A rode trip would be awesome! Peter the dad was driving his family in the sky blue SUV on a rocky mountain in the afternoon on a 100- degree sunny day with a great view of Hollywood. Stewie, who is 3 years old, was sitting in the middle of the hot, sleepy, and depressed back seat. Stewie’s 15-year-old brother Chris had one window seat; Brian the dog had his floppy ears and big mouth hanging out of the other window.
Chris and Stewie had been fighting for four days about their space and were feeling uncomfortable, squished, and tight. Chris shouted at Stewie “MOVE OVER”! Stewie did a cheeky push with his whole body and mocked Chris in a little baby voice “MOVE OVER”! ...to be continued...

ReplyDeleteThe popping Knee!
I was running in my backyard chasing my sister. Then I hear and feel my left knee twist and “pop”! I fall and my knee hurts for a while, and then stops. It felt like someone twisting my knee like they’re angry at me or something. It’s happened many times before and I don’t even know why. I was finally brave enough to tell my mom what happened. My name is Ariana by the way. The day after my mom called the Children’s Hospital and made an appointment. When we went to the Children’s Hospital I was a little nervous. I didn’t know what they were going to do, and that was why I was sweating on my forehead, breathing a little heavy like a person who just finished the marathon.
The sound of doctors talking to patients and the machines going “chikaw” made me wonder why there was no one in the front desk. Then a person came rushing in like she was being chased by someone, and went to the desk. My mom checked in and I saw children coming out with casts and babies crying because they had an appointment. The nurse finally called us and the room we walked in was just blank with 1 poster. It even smelled like this pink medicine that I take when I’m sick (Yuck!). They asked what the problem is and I said, “Well when I lift my left leg it slowly pops.” They took x-rays and they made no sense to be honest, and did tests. Then they gave me un-useful options, they said I can leave it alone or get surgery (which will hurt a lot)! I was upset! I had to choose to leave it, I mean it’s better than getting pain… I guess. I was still upset though, so my mom bought me hot chips, to make me feel better. Then we left.
As I was slowly eating my hot chips like a monkey eating his banana. Slowly. I thought why would I need surgery when my knee is perfectly fine? It doesn’t affect me or anyone in any way. I mean it’s not like I’m like my handicap sister or my other sister with one eye. Also, my knee isn’t that of a big deal and not a problem compared to my sisters. I should just accept who I am and be cool with what I have. We should be thankful for what we have been given.
Kill All Robots
ReplyDeleteby: Alex Hall
So I see you are wondering why I am mad. Well I am mad because, wait… Pause, my name is Alex. So I am mad because my mom says, “You are going to ruin your brain if you play too many video games.” I said, “Mom video games teach hand-eye coordination.” Now I am GROUNDED because she said I was talking back, so she took my video games. She said I am grounded for 10 months, without video games. So everyday when I get home from school I am happy because I think I can play video games but I remember I am grounded and I don’t have my video games. Now I am really, wait… I thought of a plan. I can call my friend Tyler and we can make our own video games. So I went to my mom and said, “Can Tyler come over and study with me?” she said, “Sure but only to study.” “OK, studying only, I promise,” I said with my fingers crossed.
So I called Tyler and asked him if he could come over. He asked his mom and he said thanks faster then she could say yes. He rushed upstairs and put his shoes on. He went outside got on his bike and went to my house. They also live in the same neighborhood. He told Tyler, “Sup, I’m glad you came because I came up with the best plan. So we are going to make our very own video game.” Tyler said, “But how?” I said, “We have to figure out how to make one scientifically.
Step 1:Take paper and make the cover
Step 2:Make instructions
Step 3:Get metal and make it circle
Step 4:Get electricity with metal
Step 5:Draw the pic for the disc
Step 6:Think of video game name
But rather than making a video game we made this controller that controls our mind. So Tyler said, “This doesn’t look like a video game to me.” The controller had an opening where you could see the electricity. The controller started to control Tyler’s mind by making him act like a robot. I said, “Tyler why are you acting like a robot?” So then the controller pointed at me and I started acting like a robot. We started dancing like robots without noticing that we went inside stores and destroyed everything. While we were destroying the stores my mom went in my room and got the remote. She got the remote because she knew there was something wrong because we weren’t there and the room wasn’t like it was at first. It looked like a science lab. All the lights were off and she saw the electricity from the remote. It was a blue light flickering and she knew that meant it was being used. She picked up the remote and she looked through all the stores close by the house. Then she found us. My mom came to the store we were in and brought the remote. She didn’t know what was going on, so she was running as fast as she could, then it just started raining and my mom accidently dropped the remote in a puddle. So Tyler and I became normal again. Tyler said, “What happened?” I said, “I think we were just robots.” We ran outside and my mom was standing there and she said, “There you are.” So she drove us to my house. When Tyler and I walked in my room you won’t believe what we saw. It was a video game that said Kill All Robots by: Tyler Butler and Alex Hall. Then my mom came in the room and said, “I am mad that you weren’t studying when Tyler was over.” I said, “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t last 10 months without video games.” She said, “Ok, but next time just tell me the truth.” I said, “Ok, I promise.” This time there was no fingers crossed.

ReplyDeleteThe Evacuation
ReplyDeleteBy: Sara Hernandez
part 1
It was a calm night, my two siblings sleeping soundly, and I was laying on my pillow falling asleep. Suddenly I heard a loud crash outside of my house. The crash was so loud that it woke up my siblings. Lily, the youngest was crying, holding her small little brown teddy bear. Henry, the middle sibling, was so in shock that when he went to look out the window, another loud bomb had crashed, only this time it was closer to my house.
Early the next day, my siblings and I were at the train station. Before we left our house, the sun was barley up. London was up earlier than ever. At the train station, we were in longer lines, waiting to buy our tickets at the ticket booth. Our mother was going to buy the tickets for us and that was the last time we might ever see her.
“Listen to me children,” my mother said, “Once I buy these tickets, John you are responsible to watch over your siblings do you understand me?” she said with a fierce face and a down face all at once. All of us had our own luggage and I was carrying a small satchel to hold anything that was small and important. It seemed to take hours, but we finally got our tickets from the ticket booth. Before we went on the train, my mother surrounded us in a circle and said, “Children, this is not goodbye, this is a see you later. Remember this children, family will always reunite with each other, okay?” We all shook our heads. Those were the last words we heard from her.
I held both of my sibling’s hands and we walked into the huge crowd of children and adults. We were pushed and bumped. I held tight on my siblings’ hands and they held tighter on mine. We made it to the train, but when Henry got on the train, a huge crowd was walking towards Lily and I. The crowd was pushing and pushing my body and Lily’s. I tried to hold tight onto Lily’s hand, but she let go of mine. I couldn’t see her anymore. It was like an angry crowd was pulling her away.
“Lily?” I shouted, but then I knew that she was far. I ran onto the train, found Henry, threw my luggage at him, and ran back to find Lily. I pushed people to see through and kept on shouting her name. “Lily!? Lily where are you!?” In less than a minute, I found her, standing still, her head looking down at the floor. She was not saying a word. I took a deep sigh and said, “Lily, you had me worried about you, I thought you were going to be lost and confused and,” I kneeled down to see her face. “We have to be going, the train will leave any minute now. Let’s go.” She nodded her head, took my hand, and we were walking to the train.
It took about two days just to get to a small town named Hexham. I woke Henry and Lily up to get our luggage ready. “Come on Henry and Lily, we have arrived at Hexham.” I said. The train slowed down and we were walking to the exit door. The train stopped, and we got out. I thought there were more children coming out too, but no one else came out of the train. The weather was calm, no clouds up in the sky, and the cool breeze blowing at us.

I looked around to see what the town looked like. It was small, not a lot of people there, and only a few buildings here and there. “I believe we need to wait here John.” Said Henry. I turned my head to see him, “Yes I think so too.” It had been only a few minutes when we all heard a horse. We all turned our heads, and we saw a lady riding a horse carriage. She stopped the horse, got off, and was heading towards our way.
She stepped onto the small stairs and she was standing in front of us. I had a better look at her. She had short black curly hair and on her head she was wearing a horse-riding helmet. She was also wearing a jacket and a knee length skirt. But what was strange about her was everything she was wearing was black.
“Are you the children from London?” she asked us. “Yes ma’am.” I answered her. She looked at my ticket that was hanging on my satchel. “John Lewis,” she said and went to Henry, “Henry Lewis,” and to Lily, “Lily Lewis, rhyming Miss Lewis.” She smiled at Lily. Lily only looked at her strangely. “Well, children, let me introduce myself. My name is Nancy Brooks. You can call me Nancy or Mrs. Nancy or anything you would like to call me, okay?” We all shook our heads. “Okay then, follow me, we are going to my house.” She said, and I held Henry and Lily’s hands and we followed her.
We sat on the carriage and Nancy said, “Hold on children, we are going for a bumpy ride.” The ride to Nancy’s house wasn’t far as I thought, but during the views of the small town, Henry and Lily were amazed. There were many churches, but not a lot of houses, which was strange. “John look, there’s castles in the town!” Lily said with excitement in her voice. Henry laughed and said “Those are churches Lily, see the big cross on the top?” She looked up, and so do I. “ Oh, but it still looks like a castle to me Henry.”
We arrived to Nancy’s house in less than ten minutes. She got out and helped us get off of the carriage. “All right children, we have arrived.” She said. I looked at her house, the place where her house sat was a huge land with trees everywhere. The house was also big. The house was made out of tan bricks. On the right side of the house is a small cottage. It seemed like she noticed me looking at the small cottage, “That’s the place where all of you will be sleeping.” She pointed at the small cottage. Henry then said, “Can we go into your house?” “No!” she snapped at Henry. Lily then got closer to me and held my hand tighter. Is she scared of her? I thought to myself. Nancy then cleared her throat. “What I meant to say is that you can’t enter into my house. That cottage is the place you will be staying. Don’t worry; I won’t lock you inside the house. Now, go in.” she said. At the same time, we all said, “Yes ma’am.” We walked into the cottage, there was not a lot of detail in the house. The wallpaper was peach and there were small windows around the cottage. There were two rooms, one room had two beds and the other had two beds. I checked the cabinets to see if there was food inside, there was enough food for a week. I told Henry to help me move one bed from one of the rooms to place it in another room that we were all going to sleep in.

After that, I took my luggage into the room to put my clothing in the dresser. I also put away Henry and Lily’s clothing in the dresser. Ten minutes later, we had nothing to do, not until I heard Lily playing with her teddy bear. Then I saw Henry take out his book and he sat down on the couch and began reading the book. I didn’t know what to do then. I thought to myself, if it was a usual day, I would be drawing by now. I went to the room, found my satchel and took out my drawing journal. I looked around the house to see if there was anything to draw, then I see a flower vase. There were no flowers in the vase, but the vase was so old and the painting was so detailed, I began to draw it.
It had been days, then it turned into weeks, then to months, and then I realized it had been a year since Henry, Lily, and I had come to this town. Every day was always the same, getting up, eating breakfast that I would make, going outside to play, coming back inside to eat lunch, Nancy coming in to say “Hello children, how are you today?” Soon it’s afternoon, and again we go outside to play, after that the dinner that Nancy made for us is ready, then we get ready for bed. The same routine over and over again, but Henry and Lily seem not to be bothered by it. Then again we never had entered into Nancy’s house. I didn’t think of going inside, but I never wanted to. When we go to sleep, I always thought that Henry would scream in the middle of his dream, or Lily would scream, but nothing happens, the room is silent. Mostly every night for me, when I sleep, I always have a memory of what happened before we had gotten here.
After the explosion right next to our house, the windows broke into pieces and Henry got hurt by the glass falling on his arms. I screamed his name, rushing to him to pick him up. My mother then came into the room, grabbed Lily into her arms, and we both ran to the basement. More bombs exploded and more screaming. When we entered into the basement, right after I shut the door, I woke up. It scares me because of how Henry had the face of pain and how Lily was screaming in fear.
Now it has been two years and I see Henry and Lily growing up. I’m now sixteen, Henry’s twelve, and Lily’s six. We never saw the town. The last time we all saw the town is when we arrived at the town.
Spring is my favorite time of the year and one day, when we were outside enjoying the weather, I saw a red tulip next to the tree trunk that I was laying my back on. The color was a bright red, like it had joy around it. Then I looked closer, I saw the edges of the petals, the edges were white. I then remembered something. Something that I don’t really think about too much. My mother. It was her favorite flower, with the white edges. I told Henry and Lily to come over here and take a look at the flower. “It’s pretty.” Said Lily, “It reminds me of mother, her favorite flower, the tulip.” Said Henry. We decided to pick up the tulip. I held the roots of the flower, Henry opened the door to the cottage, and I placed the tulip in the vase that I drew. Lily had a small bucket of water and poured the water into the vase. After that we stood next to each other and stared at the bright red tulip. Then we all realized that we can be with our mother. The tulip will remind us of our mother. She is always there with us, and soon one day, when this war is over, we will be with our mother.

Go play a game with each other or something while I’m at the flee Market,” said grandma. “Fine,” Danny said. Bert and Danny set out to look for something to do. They tried playing sticks, they tried playing army guys, they tried and tried but nothing seemed to entertain them, until Dan and Bert went downstairs in the furnace room to get there foam swords to play crusade. When Bert went to go grab his sword, a blue faded neon box caught his eye. He then grabbed it and blew the dust off. Dan then said “wutcha got there” Bert replied “I don’t know I found it under the shelf.” Dan replied “Well put it back, it’s just a box of junk”, “Wait What does solar quest mean?” asked Bert. “I don’t know just put the junk back already” said Dan.
Dan ran upstairs to get his GI Joe action figure to play but he couldn’t seem to find it. He looked under his bed, under his dresser but still couldn’t find it. Meanwhile Bert was left down stairs.... alone with a grayish neon box sitting before him along with a mind filled to the gills with curiosity
Bert glanced around the room and then started to play the game. He rolled once 10 spaces he moved. Bert rolled once again but the piece didn’t merge, he rolled again and again but nothing happened. Bert said to him self “ Dan is right this is a piece of junk”. Hey Bert! Danny yelled do you know were my…. Danny suddenly just stopped talking, when the house started shivering. Bert and Dan yelled earthquake they quickly ran under the kitchen counter and huddle together.
There was complete silence between Bert and Dan. It was quiet, too quiet, Dan as the older brother built up enough courage to get out from under the table he proceeded to walk to the door very cautiously, one step at a time. Dan opened the front door and to his amazement and awe to find countless creatures staring back at him waiting….
Underwater Adventure by Jeremiah E
ReplyDelete“Come on James,” Jake said, “we have to clean the house before she get back.” It was a Sunday morning. James and his big brother Jake were cleaning the house and Jake trips on a game. The name of the game was Underwater. So Jake picked up the game and showed it to James. James said, “Put that game down. We don’t have time to play it. But Jake did not listen and instead he opens the game and started the game but he did not read the directions. The directions actually say once you start the game, you have 2 hours to stop the game. “Jake come here!” shouted James. Jake drops the dice but the game thinks he started. So while James and Jake were cleaning they saw a puddle of water.
James rolled a 4 on the dice. Then he picks the fourth card up. On the card it said, “it has sharp teeth and it smells blood. The puddle of water got deeper and deeper and they saw a shark float pass them. James and Jake were so scared that they ran upstairs and called their mom. But mom did not pick up the phone. The boys were so scared that they stared to throw things at the shark to keep it away. One hour passed.
So Jake tried to get it away, so he rolled the dice but he rolled a 3 and he picked up card 3 and card 3 had a photo of a piranha. They were so scared that they did not know what to do for almost another hour. Then they hear a crash so they swam down stairs to find a bite in a vase. They fight the piranhas until James rolled the dice and he got a 6 and the shark and the piranhas were gone just in time before mom came home.
The Magic Show Doom!
ReplyDeleteBy Alex A.
The story starts here. In Las Vegas at midnight there was a magic show. The cars were honking and music was playing. There was a Magician name Criss Blane Houdini. Criss looked like a masked person with a cape.
He was stupendous at magic but one day a person named Zigor came to the magic show. Zigor filmed at every magic show and put a video of how the magic tricks are done on his blog. Zigor always has a hood on so people won’t know who he is.
Criss says, “Come in closer cause the more you think you see the less you will actually see.” Criss says, “Now I will saw the lady in half.” A gasp came from the crowd and then laughter because he did it. But Zigor was filming his secret. Zigor says, “hahahahahahah.” At the end of the magic show Zigor was gone and no where to be seen. Zigor went home and posted the video on his blog.
Criss went home and he went in his secret hideout where he keeps his magic collection. Criss went to sleep and he dreamed of laughter in his head. Criss woke up then he took some magic decks of cards and a magic kit out for his magic show tonight.
At the magic show Zigor was the first person there. This time he hid his camera in his hat so people won’t know he is filming. 30 minutes later the place was half full since some people saw the magic tricks that Zigor posted.
Criss says, “Now I will make myself disappear.” The crowd said, “Not true.” Criss did it. The crowd said, “Wow.” At the end Zigor was gone but at his seat there was a note. It said, “I will make you pay and lose your job.” Criss read it. Criss felt wretched.
The next night Zigor was there but he was in a disguise. Now, less than half of people were there. Criss says, “Now I will make one person in the crowd disappear.” The crowd says ,“Impossible” but he did it. The crowd says, “Wow that is so cool.” Zigor was gone and there was a note on a white piece of paper that said, “My plan is working.”
Criss kicked the chair and said, “How does he do this?” He called the cops but they did not believe him, so Criss went back home and got ready for the next nights performance. That night criss heard the laughfter again. That morning he took his magic stuff and he hid a camera in his hat and he went off to the magic theatre. But only 5 people came to the show. Zigor was in his disguise again.
Criss called the cops to hide there so they can check to see if Zigor is at the show and he was. But at the end of the show Zigor was gone but he left his camera there. Criss showed it to the police and they said, “The next time he comes they will arrest him.” So Criss went home and that night he caught who was making the noise.
It was Zigor so Criss went to call the cops but he was gone. At the show there was two cops and Zigor. Zigor got caught and Criss said, “That is him.” So the cops arrested him. This time nobody came to the show because Criss canceled it. Criss went to see Zigor but the cops were sleeping so he can escape. There was a note on one of the cops it said “You will pay.” So Criss got ready for the performance. Criss was scared so Criss thought he saw Zigor next to him. He got to the show. Many people come to the show. Another guy named Phil was filming it, but it was really Zigor in disguise. Zigor turned out to be Criss brother. The whole thing will happen again since Zigor escaped.
ISAT BETRAYAL
ReplyDeleteby Carlos G.
“RING, RING,” Lizzy woke up, to the sound of her ringing alarm clock. It was March 3, 2012. She had ISAT. She was so nervous; she studied all of her notes before the test and even the night before. She was a focused, kind, and honest person. She finally got to school, she was confident in herself that she will pass 6th grade. If she didn’t pass ISAT she would repeat 6th grade.
As soon as she walked in her classroom, the whole room was chaotic. The desks were moved into corners, by the window, and in front of the room. She had never seen the desks like that before. That’s when she saw Tim waiting at the front of the door. Lizzy and Tim had been close friends since kindergarten.
Tim said, “Hey are you scared about the ISAT cause I know I am very nervous.”
“I’m nervous too but I know I’m going pass the quiz.”
The teacher said, “You can talk until it is 9:00 o’clock.” The boys and girls were talking to each other except Lizzy. She studied that whole time until it was test time.
The teacher said, “You will get 45 minutes, and if you still haven’t finished you will get an extra 10 minutes.” Lizzy thought, “Ok that’s enough time to finish the quiz. I am going to pass this quiz like nothing. I will make my mom so proud of me that she will be so happy, and that she might even buy me an iPhone 5c.“
During the test Tim kept calling Lizzy in many different voices. She whispered, “What do you want?”
Tim said, “What page are you on in the test?”
“You called me just for that, and just to ask me for what page I’m on?”
“Well yeah basically,” said Tim.
“I’m on page 21. I’m almost finished with it, what page are you on?” said Lizzy.
Tim said, “I’m on page 15”.
Later on during the test, Tim said, “what did you get for number 5 on page 18?”
“Why do you want to know what I got, use your own brain!”
“It’s hard, I don’t get most of this stuff, just tell me what you got for number 5.”
“I don’t care if it’s hard, figure it out yourself!” She yelled.
Mr. Green’s faced turned red as an apple, because Lizzy wasn’t supposed to be talking during the test.
“Go to the office now! You know you shouldn’t be talking during the ISAT!” “But I didn’t do anything.”
“Yes you did, you were talking when you weren’t supposed to.”
“But Tim kept calling me in many different voices, asking me what page I was on, and what the answers were. I told him stop talking to me or I’m going to get in trouble.”
“Is this true Tim? Did you ask Lizzy for the page and the answers?”
“No this is not true. I never asked what page she was on and I didn’t ask her for the answers.”
Lizzy was sent to the principal’s office. Her hands were sweaty, she started to sweat, and she felt very sick waiting for the principal to call her name to go in the office.
“So why were you talking during the ISAT?”
“I wasn’t talking or cheating. It was Tim. He wouldn’t leave me alone. He kept bugging me to give him the answers and I never responded.”
“I know it wasn’t you, and I believe you based on Tim’s history. He has a lot of records and plays jokes on many people. Even on teachers.”
“Maybe Tim wasn’t a good friend after all these years, I was just too dumb to realize that.” When Lizzy got to the classroom and everyone looked at her. Lizzy said “I didn’t get in trouble.”
Tim said, “Hey I’m sorry I lied…”
She rolled her eyes at him and said, “Don’t talk to me. Forget about all the great times we had together ever since you put me in that place where I got in trouble.’’ At that moment she knew that she lost a friend for good.

The Mystery Of Lebron!
ReplyDeleteKeante ran up the court. Lebron James stole the ball from him. Keante was wretched because Lebron took the ball like 2K and sprinted down the court dunking the ball. Keante was somber. He was feeling like a tiny man. So he got the ball and dribbled down the court. Keante shot a 3 pointer. He missed. Lebron got the rebound and dashed up the court fast and did a 360 by turning all around and dunking the ball. It made Keante very unhappy.
Keante got beat 54-25. He was very depressed. Keante was feeling like he did not know how to play basketball. But Lebron said Keante can play but also he told him that, “Practice makes perfect.”
After the game Keante and Lebron went to his house because they were going to hang out. But later Keante found out he played his father in the game. He was cheerful Keante told him. He wanted to play again and he said, “OK!”
The very lost little wolf

Woof was walking in a dark forest. The trees had acorns. Woof smelled something like his family but it was a tree. He yelled,
“Mother where are you?”
Then he stopped and saw 5 caves and he went in each cave.
“Is that you mother?” he kept saying. The fist cave was too dark. Then the second cave was too bright that Woof couldn’t see. The third cave was too small for woof. The fourth cave was too big that woof got scared. The fifth cave had a hairy, scary bear. After Woof saw the hairy, scary bear he ran to the pond.
When he found the pond he went hunting. The pond had lots of fish. Woof caught a toad. Woof went in the water to catch some more toads. When Woof was hunting that reminded him of him and his mom hunting together.
Then he was crying and said,
“Mother I will be alone without you.” He said in a sadly voice. Then he heard a voice that was saying,
“Is that you, Woof?”
Woof saw his mother and he was happy.
Tiger Adoption
ReplyDeleteby Joshua G.
It was a bad day for Caleb Rodriguez. The school bully, R.J., took his lunch money and his homework for the 20th time this semester. “Hey, dweeb, give me all of your homework from last night.” Caleb was very bright and did his homework every night, but R.J. kept taking his homework. Because of this Caleb got F’s on all of his assignments. The only grades Caleb got credit for was his classwork.
One day when Caleb was walking home he passed by the ‘‘EXOTIC PET SHOP’’ and saw a tiger for adoption. Once Caleb saw this sign his heart opened up and he ran into the shop. Then Caleb stopped. He looked around the shop as he saw the most exotic animals he’d ever seen. The clerk came up to Caleb and asked him did he see anything that interested him. Caleb started talking to the clerk about the sign that said : WOULD YOU LIKE A TIGER? WE HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD TIGER CUB IN OUR STORE.IF YOU’D LIKE TO ADOPT THIS CUTE FURBALL PLEASE SEE AN EMPLOYEE INSIDE.THANK YOU. The clerk then said ‘‘C’mon, I’ll show you’’. So when Caleb finally was in front of the cage where the tiger was he instantly fell in love with the cub; it was like he was hit by one of Cupid’s love arrows. At that moment the clerk saw that Caleb was worthy of taking care of this cub. While Caleb was staring at the cub, the clerk walked into her office and grabbed a piece of paper. That paper was a pledge that ALL new pet owners must agree to. The clerk stopped Caleb and asked him to recite the pledge after her. Caleb did as told and once he finished the clerk picked up the tiger and gave it to Caleb. Then Caleb said thank you and went home. Then he and his new tiger sat down together. Then the perfect name came to him, “Taz’’.
Everyday Caleb left the tiger alone at his house as he went to school. Caleb anxiously couldn’t wait to see Taz. But one day when Caleb walked by, R.J. tripped him and Caleb instantly fell to the ground. His papers were all over the hallway. Then that’s when R.J. saw a picture that Caleb drew of Taz. In a hurry, R.J. picked up the drawing and stared at it while laughing at the same time. Caleb’s eyes swelled up in tears as he grabbed all his papers and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Caleb ran out of M.K. ACADEMY and went straight home. Caleb knew right at that moment that he officially HATED R.J. From that point on he made a choice to never let ANYONE and he meant ANYONE stand in the way of what he wanted or what he thought was right.
The Championship Game
ReplyDeleteBy Todd Bruce-Penn
It was the second quarter of the championship game. I was guarding Cardyel.
Cardyel elbowed me in the chest. The referee blew his whistle and yelled, “foul!”
I want to the line so I could shout 3 times. The first time I shot the ball it went around and around and fell off the side. The second time I shot the ball, it hit the backboard, rolled on the rim and fell in the hoop. The third time I shot the ball it went right in the hoop. It was all net.
Both the Green Dogs and the Snow Foxes got back on the court. The Green Dogs had the ball. I was still guarding Carerly. Jackson had the ball and threw it to Cardyel. I jumped in front of the ball when Jackson passed the ball to Cardyel. I tripped but I kept running. I passed the to Ivan who made a lay up. We had 10:00 minutes left on the clock before the third quarter starts. The score was 58 and 61.
The Close Inning of the Game
ReplyDeleteBy Marcos Rios
I am on the pitcher mound and William was on second base. Then, William shouted, “You throw slow.” He was trying to distract me so I would throw 4 balls and his teammate could walk to first base. Next, William was getting his legs ready to run. I threw the ball to the Sam at second base. He caught the ball and then dropped it. Then, William ran toward third base so we got him into a rundown. So Sam chased William. William was close to the third baseman so he threw the ball to third to try to get William out. I go to second base because Sam was chasing the runner and no one will be there to get him out. The third baseman threw it to me at second. William slid to second base and was safe. I was upset because someone scored at the last minute of the last inning. My team was down by one and it was the last inning of the game. I felt miserable because my team lost the game. When you lose the game you should not be upset. You should be cheerful because you had fun.
Eagle Boy VS Chuck The Evil Chicken Maker
ReplyDeleteBY TYLER BUTLER
Tyler, aka Eagle Boy, was playing a cool 5D video game called “Attack of the Evil Alex and His Robots” in the arcade called Frycade when Tyler heard a security bell go off. The reason why Tyler heard that was because of his super hearing.
Back at the scene of the crime, Chuck was robbing the bank. “Ha Ha! I’m rich, I’m rich I’m RICH!!!!!$$$$$” cried Chuck. And Eagle Boy won’t stop me because my robot will grind that little sucker into dust!” “I heard that,” said Eagle Boy flying to the rescue. “Ughh, not you again! Robot! Turn Eagle Boy into big pile of dust while I get the last thousand moolah for myself.” The robot was too fast but Eagle Boy was faster. He punched a big hole in the Robot’s stomach. “Ohhh! Wires! This will be a great time to pull those things out so I can make my own Robot.’’ Then he looked at Chuck, “Ok Chucky, all you have to do is give me the BBQ gun which you ALWAYS use to defeat me so I can break it in half and fly you to jail so the police can put you in a warm cell. I am not going to hurt you. Come to think of it, how about a clean smack in the face.” Now that made Chuck scared, even just thinking about it. “No! Never! The money is mine! My BBQ blaster is mine! And I will not let you slap me!!!!” Eagle Boy smirked and did it anyways. With Eagle Boy’s super flying, he broke Chuck’s Blaster, he slapped Chuck’s face, and put Chucky into jail. “Since that’s done I guess I will go back to the arcade and beat my record and get a nap and make my own awesome cool body controlled robot.”

So Now You Want to Listen
ReplyDeleteBy Eric C.
It was a dark and stormy night … not really, that just makes it sound better. So it was actually just an average summer day in New York City. Bob Johnson and Joe Blake, yes they have average American names and I’m going to tell you a story about these two best friends. :P
“Are you ready to go the toy store down the street?” asked Bob.
“Almost,” Joe replied.
The two guys were getting ready to go to the toy store and buy this super cool action figure that they were saving money up for. The action figure was a premium limited edition red Power Ranger. There were only limited quantities and the thing that makes this one different than the other power ranger action figures is that this one was the one with a sword that comes with it. Don’t worry, they’re only ten and eight so they still want action figures. The two of them have saved money up by working for neighbors and doing extra work at home.
“Joe, let’s go!” shouted Bob.
“Can’t you wait one more minute dude?” replied Joe.
The boys went outside and began to walk towards the toy store. After ten minutes, they arrived at Dana’s Emporium. They walked in and the boys got so excited that Bob froze. “BOB! We’re here, don’t freak out now!” explained Joe.
“Welcome to Dana’s Emporium, I’m Dana,” said the old woman who the boys weren’t paying attention to.
“Duuuuude! Hello? Earth to Bob, Earth to Bob,” asked Joe.
After shooting him with a nearby rubber band, Joe awakened his best friend. Dana was just standing there waiting for a response that she didn’t get. The boys go around looking for the premium Power Ranger figure.
“I’ll go down this aisle and you go down that one,” demanded Bob.
“Okay, first one to find it gets to keep it for the first day!” responded Joe.
“Challenge accepted, make that the first week!” Bob said excitedly.
So the boys obviously went looking for the toy and Dana was still there, thinking in her head, “Am I going to get a response or not?” (The world may never know!)
Bob and Joe scurried and searched through aisles but unfortunately; they didn’t find the toy they had dreamed about for months. They started to worry that the big and extravagant toy store of Dana’s didn’t have the premium red Power Ranger action figure.
So Now You Listen (Part 2) by Eric C.
ReplyDelete“Hey Bobo, did you find it yet?” questioned Joe.
“No, did you Jobo?” replied Bob. (Little boys give each other nicknames right?)
“Nope, the challenge is still on and the reward is still up for grabs I guess,” said Joe in a thrilled tone.
The boys continued to look through the aisles where the action figures for boys were. They had each gone through five aisles and they continued to eagerly scan around to make sure the other one didn’t get to the figure if the toy was actually there.
Who was going to get to the toy first? (Mysterious Music Plays)
Dana watched the two boys continue running around through her grand store. She was wondering what they were looking for. Could it be the limited edition premium red Power Ranger action figure behind her counter?
“Come on, did you find it? I just want to play with it now, I don’t care who gets to it first anymore,” remarked Joe.
“Yea, agreed! You want to look for it together man?” questioned Bob.
“Sure, let’s do it pal!” stated Joe.
Dana couldn’t stay in this situation anymore. She asked the boys what they were looking for. Bob and Joe told her they were looking for the finest limited edition red Power Ranger action figure. Dana busted out laughing. She was right. The boys were looking for the one behind her counter. Was she going to tell them that it was behind her or was she going to let the boys keep looking for it? She decided to tell the boys to keep looking for it by telling them that the toy was all the way in the back of the store in the exclusive zone of her emporium. (Wow Dana is such an appalling old woman.)
The boys kept on looking and they went all the way to the back of the store to keep on searching for their desired action figure. To their misery, they could not find the toy at all. They went back to Dana and ask her. “Are you sure the toy is there in the back of the store?” questioned the boys curiously.
“Boys, you mean this toy?” asked Dana as she pulled out THE limited edition power ranger figure. (DUHN DUHN DUHHHHHH) The glorious scarlet color shone upon Bob’s flabbergasted face. The sword was perfectly polished in the Power Ranger’s hand. It was a moment that Bob would never forget in his short-lived life so far.
“Oh my god! It’s so beautiful! I want it NOW!” exclaimed Bob.
“Well considering that you two ignored me when you two walked in, I think I’ll just keep it for myself and give it to my friend, Josh,” explained Dana.
“Awwww, come on Mrs. Dana!” begged Bob.
“Nope sorry boys, you two left my question hanging in the air and I will leave your desired toy hanging on the wall of Josh’s bedroom!” replied Dana. HAHA!

“Well its true Big. You ain’t ever gonna be better than me in yo’ life!” Pac replied.
New York City’s two most amazing rappers fight about being better than each other. Tupac Shakur from eastern Harlem and Christopher George Latore Wallace from Brooklyn express their thoughts in songs. After both men talk rubbish they start making songs about each other. Tupac’s irritation against Biggie was gaining and worsening. So Pac’s response to his irritation against Biggie was making a song named “Hit ‘em up”. After the world listened to what Pac had to say against Bad Boy Entertainment, Biggie, and everyone who was involved with Bad Boy’s, Biggie had to act.
Bad Boy Entertainment is a record label that biggie signed with. And Death Row is a record that Tupac signed with. Biggie replied the “Hit ‘em up” song with calling a hit squad on Tupac. 2pac Shakur was shot 5 times on a elevator.
Rapping about someone and putting out for the public isn’t always the best way to solve your problems. It might lead to the wrong solution. One day a boy named Alex had the same problems as Tupac and Christopher. Alex made a remix of “Hit ‘em up” to a kid he didn’t like and put it on YouTube. Alex didn’t know the kid he made the song about had friends in a gang and a month later Alex was pronounced dead with the album’s poster in the background. The kid that wanted Alex killed said that he wanted him killed because he was making too much of a diss on him and needed to act. The kid stated, “ Alex had it coming,” but he doesn’t feel wrong for what had happened.

ReplyDeleteThe Grumpy Kid
ReplyDeleteBy: Diego L.
Diego always was a sleepy kid. Diego always sleeps on the car rides and also at school. When Diego is sleepy he feels like he can’t keep his eye lids open. He also feels like he is going to fall. Diego likes to go to sleep late because he likes texting his friends on kik messenger. Diego knows he is not supposed to go to sleep late because he is a very grumpy kid. Diego goes to sleep at 3:00 in the morning. When Diego’s mom tries to wake Diego up he yells at his mom.
Diego’s mom strolls into his room and yells, “Diego wake up or I’m going to pour cold water on you.”
Diego screams at his mom saying, “Leave me alone!”
Then Diego’s mom gets the dog, Luna so Diego can wake up. Luna the dog is a baby pitbull that likes to lick people. Luna is white and has black spots. She looks like cow. She snorts like a pig. When Luna enters, she dives into Diego’s bed. Then she jumps on the bed and licks and licks Diego’s head. This makes Diego chuckle but he still feels awful.
Diego was gloomy even though the dog had licked him. He was so tired that he stood up and fell. Diego busted his nose and started to bleed. He looked dreadful and had to clean his nose. Diego stated, “Do not ever wake me up.”
The Dog Days (Part One) by Naason Olea
ReplyDeleteOn a hot summer day in New York in the 90’s, a puppy tries to find his destiny in finding a family but soon is in another problem. He is a secret super hero, just like superman, and tries to hide his power and act like a normal dog. He wants to save people as well. This is his story.
* * *
I was born on a hot summer day in a cardboard box with nine of my brothers and sisters. My mom was a blonde Labradoodle. We have been living there for about a week.
I could tell that I was the smallest of all my brothers and sisters. They called me the runt. My mom always paid more attention to me because I was the smallest and helpless. My mom named me Max and I like it, because my mom looked after me the most my brothers and sisters hated me. Like each time we played they would try to trick me and run and leave me there. But then I had an incredible sense of smell I followed back to the box. We were doing a race because we were fighting over a chew toy. I was faster then all my brother and sisters. I discovered a lot of power emerging out of me.
Every one of my brothers hated me except my older brother Mathew. When he’s around my brothers he will play around and act like he hated me, but then he will go and ask me to play with him. He was my favorite brother. Like usual I get up and drink from my mother‘s milk then we go out and play. After all my brother’s played they went to sleep. Mathew and I were out playing until one of our sisters spotted us playing. She went and told my other brothers, so my brother told me to run. We were running until Mathew told me to leave without him, so I ran as fast as I could. I can hear Mathew crying because of the punishment they were giving to Mathew. The next day as I walked to my house I heard no barks or I couldn’t see my mother. All I saw was nothing so I imagined the stories that my mom told me about a monster who takes dogs and then sends them to like a prison for dogs

The Mystery Of HEARTS
ReplyDeleteEmily was a girl that had big dreams. Emily’s desk has a drawing of two hearts combined. Emily sits in the seat of LOVE. Emily has dark braided hair, wore Twinkle toes for shoes, wore blue jeans, and had DARK brown eyes. Her favorite hobbies are drawing, playing soccer, and reading. One day at school Emily found a note in her desk. The note was from her secret admirer. Emily felt flattered and flustered. There was only one problem, Emily had a crush on someone already. Emily hopes that her secret admirer is her crush…
Emily and her friend try to find out who the secret admirer is by finding clues. Emily found notes all over the school but none of them have a name in sight. The next day Emily found a note in her locker. The note said " Follow you heart and your heart well choose. Emily said " Well how will I do that, I need a doctor."
Kayla, one of her friends, replied " That is not what the note said. The note said follow your heart."
"I didn't know, don't need to be all mean"
" WEEEELLL SOOOORRRRRYYYY!!! “
“ How am I suppose to listen to my heart when all I hear are thumps?”
“It’s just a saying Emily. All it is saying is ‘who do you like,’ then you could write that person back saying who.”
“Who what????”
“Who you like!! Is your mind asleep or something???”
“ No!!! “
When class was over Emily and Kayla went to see if there were any more notes in her locker. When she checked there were 2 notes. Emily opened the first note.
“ I don’t know if you know who I am but, my initials are J.E. “
The second note said…
Look around, there might be kids around. Find the person with these initials and you will find out my name.”
So, Emily looked around and saw that there were only 3 kids with these initials.
“ Alright!!!! There are only 3 kids with these initials. All I need to do is ask who wrote these letters.” Emily went up to Jonathon and asked if he wrote the note but he said “ No I didn’t write you any note.” Then she went to James and asked but he said no also. There was only one more boy. She walked up to Jayden and asked and he said “YES!! I wrote that note. I’m your secret admirer. “ Jayden smiled. Emily had the same reaction. She smiled and said“ Thank you secret admirer!!”

ReplyDeleteShort Story 2
By Alex A
In a world full of bullied kids there is a kid who gets bullied named Phil. That is me. I look like an ordinary teenage boy. I have glasses and long hair. I always carry a pen in my shirt packet. I also have a high-pitched voice. I go to a school called The School of Awesomeness.
My principal is called Mr. Robot Master. He is a robot. The principal is the meanest principal ever. Whenever a student does something wrong they get a SMACK! This means the principal get’s a stick and whacks the person on the arm. The principal always smacks me whenever I do something right. He says it is wrong. The principal is mean to me because my parents wanted to get him fired. My parents want to get him fired because I always come home with red marks on my arm.
Because of this, people started to bully me. They would say, “There’s the trouble maker.” They would take my school backpack and throw it away in the trash. The principal would do nothing. In my head I thought, “The principal is a jerk.” I felt furious at him.
I saw a video of someone doing magic, so I started to do some magic at my house. I practiced in my room at home because that was only quit place in my house. Whenever I practiced a new magic trick I would do it at school. Then people started to like me more after I did the magic tricks. People would call me P Dog. People would say, “Wow great magic trick P Dog.” I would say back, “Thanks.” Everyone apologized to me for being mean.
One day I tried hypnotizing the principal with a watch and it worked. I made him tell the truth and only the truth so he would tell everyone why he would smack people. He said, “Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. I want everyone to be perfect.”
The principal would only say the truth about everything people asked him. Meanwhile the principal tied up all the police so they won’t arrest him because he was being mean the kids. He burned the rope and all the police robots were gone in the U.S.A. He did that by multiplying himself. He did this so they can’t escape and then they can’t arrest him.
Now everybody would trash his office. One day the principal got unhypnotized. He got arrested by ten secret policemen who dressed up like kids at the school. The policemen destroyed him and a new principal was hired. He was nice. He was called Mr. Fun. It is nice here now.
My new name is P Dog. I look like a punk kid. I always wears sunglasses. I also wear a hood. That is the end of my story about a kid who gets bullied at the beginning. And now a popular kid at the end who is a great magician.
Gettysburg’s Haunting
ReplyDeleteBy: Sara Hernandez
It was the summer of 2013, and my family and I were driving to Gettysburg with a moving van. My new house was in Gettysburg, which makes me glad because my best friend moved there one year ago, and now I was moving to the small town. My dad got a job in the small town. He got a job as a tour guide, and he was going to give tourists a look around the location where the civil war occurred.
I used to live in Los Angles, California, but now I was moving all the way to Pennsylvania, which took us about three days. I’m the oldest in my family, Gabby is the second oldest. Joseph is the middle child, and Izzy is the youngest.
As we arrived at the new house that my family was going to live in, it was already mid afternoon. The house had two floors, with three bedrooms. My sister Gabby and I decided to share a room. Joseph had his own room and Izzy also had her own room.
Outside of the house, the walls were painted white and a very light green. The very light green paint outlined the windows, the columns that held the front, and the triangle like roofs. Around the house there were trees, many, many trees.
I got out of the minivan, so did Gabby and Joseph. I grabbed my backpack with my two journals and ten books. I also grabbed my suitcase, with more books inside. I am a reader of course. Gabby grabbed her backpack with her suitcase too. Joseph grabbed his backpack too. “Kids, you can go inside your rooms. Your beds and dressers are already in your rooms.” My mom said while she picked up Izzy from her car seat.
We all nodded our heads and went inside the house. When we went inside the house, the first thing I saw was an old brown picture of a family on the right side of the hall walls. I took a closer look at the picture; there were four children and two adults. A mom and a dad with four children, three girls and one boy. The family looked sad in my opinion, and the picture was not black and white. It was like a brownish picture.
I took my eyes off of the picture and looked around the house. The house had a Victorian theme. The walls were a tan color. There were a few pieces of furniture in the house. I went into the living room; there was only an old couch with a dark wood table and lamps on each side. In front of the couch was a coffee table with a vase sitting on the table. I went to the kitchen; the walls were a mix of red and dark purple. The stove was there, with a few cabinets around it. I went to the hallway where we entered in, and there was a staircase. I went up the stairs to the second floor.

As I went up, I felt a cold breeze on the back of my neck. I turned around, and nobody was there. But the front door was open, so I thought it must have been the wind. I got on the second floor, there is a long hallway with many old pictures on the wall. I walked through the long hallway to find my room. I went to the nearest room, I peaked through the cracked door, and I saw Joseph in the room. He saw me. “Hey Margret, this is going to be my room.” He said. Joseph had already started unpacking. I nodded my head and continued walking.
I walked all the way to the last room at the end of the hallway. I opened the door, and I saw Gabby already unpacking her things. “Hey Margret, this is a cool room, big enough for the both of us.” Said Gabby smiling at me. I smiled back at her. The room had bunk beds, a dresser, and a window on the right side of the room. The walls were painted green, a very light green, like the ones outside the house. I put my backpack on the floor and I started unpacking.
It had been half a month and I hadn’t made any new friends at my new school. The only friend I had was my best friend, Jamie. We went to the same middle school, which is scary looking because when you see outside of the school, it is so old, the bricks are brown and inside is even worse. The walls are dirty and the lockers are rusty.
But there are many students, and none of them ever talked to me, except for Jamie. It was Friday and I didn’t know what to do. I went to my locker to get my things, and I left for my house. “Hey wait up Margret!” I heard Jamie behind me. She caught up to me. “Hey Jamie, another ‘no hi from any one’ day.” I said with a hopeless voice. Jamie then patted my back. “Don’t worry, soon someday someone will talk to you.” She said. I nodded my head, but she didn’t make me feel better.
My house was only three blocks away. I walked all the way to my house and I passed the house that was next to my house. Two boys were playing catch. One of them was about my age. When I walked passed them, the older boy whispered something into the other boy’s ear, and he stared at me.
I got to my porch to open the door, and the boys were still staring at me. Then they looked at the house. I went inside, and then closed the door. I looked at the old family picture, and then I got the greatest idea to talk to people. I smiled and I dashed to my room, put my backpack down, I went to my desk, and got out my writing journal.
On Monday, I went to school, and I had to find the nearest person that I could talk to. I saw a girl that was about my age; she had red hair and freckles on the bottom of her eyes. She was getting things out of her locker. I walked up to her and I said, “Hi, my name is Margret, do you know about the tragic event that happened at my house?” The girl looked at me with a curious face. “No and I’m Cassie. What kind of tragic event happened at your house?”
The Gettysburg's Haunting

I cleared my throat, remembering what I wrote, and I said, “Well, during the civil war years, a family of four children lived in the house. The oldest daughter of the family was mad at her family because her parents weren’t happy with her for falling in love with a stable boy. Plus her sister and one brother treated her unfairly.” Cassie came closer to me, so I guess she wanted to know more.
“So during the middle of the night, she grabbed the sharpest knife and she stabbed her family multiple times. And when she saw her three year old sister while she was sleeping, she didn’t want to kill her because she was the only one who loved her. So she killed herself.” Cassie’s eyes widened. “Really? So the little sister was the only one who was alive?” I shook my head. “Wow, your house must be very haunted.” Cassie said with a surprised voice, and she walked away because the school bell rang. I was thrilled that someone was in shock of my fake story, so I continued telling it to many other students.
It was Saturday night and I was about to go to bed. I went to the bathroom down the hall to brush my teeth. As I brushed my teeth, I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I rinsed my mouth, I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror again, and I saw a girl looking at me. I gasped and turned around, nobody was there. “Gabby, was that you?” I shouted. “I’m in the room!” Gabby shouted back.
I was shocked. Some girl was staring at me. From what I remembered, she was wearing a yellow nightgown and she had brown hair. Her eyes were filled with terror. I turned off the bathroom lights; quickly closed the door, and I ran to my room. I was too scared to walk through the hallway when the lights were dim. I closed the bedroom door. “You saw something right?” Said Gabby, lying down on the bottom bed with the lights still on. “Yeah, I saw a girl, almost about your age looking at me.” I said.
Gabby sat up on her bed. “Does that girl have brown hair?” She asked. I nodded my head. “Then you saw the ghost girl. I think her name is Jane. She talks to me, but I don’t talk to her.” I nodded my head; surprised that Gabby talked to a ghost. I turned off the bedroom lights, and I went to my bed on the top of the bunk bed.
I had a dream, that it took place back some time in the 1860’s and I saw this family. The family was terrified of something. But what was strange to me was that the family was the family in the picture that was hanging on the wall in my house. It was during the night. The father shouted to the family saying, “Hurry, the cannons are going to kill us!” The family was trying to unlock the back door, but it wouldn’t open. Then I heard a bomb explode and the family had terror in their eyes. The cannon bombs killed the family.
Then after the explosion, my mind went black. Suddenly, I heard a girl’s voice whispering in my ear saying, “Tell the truth about us, or something will happen that you will not expect.” I woke up after the girl’s last word. After my dream, I told everyone the truth about the family, some were surprised that I made up the story, but some were not. Maybe it’s because the town has hauntings everywhere. But I told myself to never make up a story about a ghost.
The ride of your life By: Jalen Tripp
ReplyDeleteA rode trip would be awesome!
Peter the dad was driving his family in the sky blue SUV on a rocky mountain in the afternoon on a 100- degree sunny day with a great view of Hollywood. Stewie, who is 3 years old, was sitting in the middle of the hot, sleepy, and depressed back seat. Stewie’s 15-year-old brother Chris had one window seat; Brian the dog had his floppy ears and big mouth hanging out of the other window.
Chris and Stewie had been fighting for four days about their space and were feeling uncomfortable, squished, and tight.
Chris shouted at Stewie “MOVE OVER”! Stewie did a cheeky push with his whole body and mocked Chris in a little baby voice “MOVE OVER”!
