Shattered Plans...

I hate it when I have everything planned out and people just decided to cancel on coming, or say that they maybe might be able to come. They say it depends on the time, I can't let my parents know. That type of BS pisses me off. If you say your gonna go somewhere with someone, then you shoud go. You don't see me canceling any plans for anyone. I try to pull it off, and make everyone happy, but in the end I end up being the one thats ready to punch someones head off. It's happened almost ever weekend for the past monty. Is it realy that hard to show up somewhere?

My Friday...

I woke up and just threw on my sweats, and a Northface. I walked to the bus stop, but my bus didn't show up. My had to give me a ride to school. First period, we played Ultimate Football and we had a sub so things got a little out of hand. Second period, I had a lot of work to make up so I was quite busy doing it all. Third period, we read Fahrenhieght 451. Fourth Period, we got help on out way back project, aka the where I went on my time machine. Fifth period, we reveiwed out homework. Sixth period, we got our tests and out projects back, I got a A on both. After school, I was supposed to go to the mall but instead my brother took me to a party of his friends. I knew the guy whose party it was but I didn't really know anyone else there. I left early, and then came back to pick up my brother. When we got home we rented a movie, Transporter 3, and I fell asleep watching it.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry has spent yet another miserable summer at home with the Dursleys. He can’t wait to get back to school at Hogwarts, and he’s especially anticipating the third-year privilege of visiting the all-magical village of Hogsmeade near the school. The only problem is that he has to get Uncle Vernon to sign his permission slip to do so. Harry’s bargain with his uncle over the form backfires when Harry gets angry and accidentally “inflates” Aunt Marge.
Frightened that he will be under arrest by the Ministry of Magic for the improper use of magic by an underage wizard, Harry tries to run away but is picked up by a magical bus and delivered to Diagon Alley, where he is able to meet his Hogwarts friends and purchase his supplies for the new school year.
Harry realizes that instead of being punished, he is being protected. A prisioner had escaped Azkaban, the prision for wizards. Harry and his freinds, Ron and Hermione must figure out why the prisioner is after Harry. Is he related to his parents death? Is he with Voldemort?

After a particularly horrible summer at home with the Dursleys, Harry can’t wait to return to Hogwarts for his second year. Banished to his bedroom, Harry receives a visit from an elf named Dobby, who warns him that he must not return to the school, for great danger awaits him there. Finally, he is rescued from his bedroom prison by Ron and his brothers in their flying car. Despite Dobby’s warnings, Harry returns to Hogwarts and stumbles right into the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets.
On Halloween night, Harry, Ron and Hermione find a message painted on a wall that reads, “The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware.” They soon discover that the Chamber of Secrets contains a deadly monster, that it hasn’t been opened for 50 years, and that the last time it was opened, someone died. “The heir” in the message refers to a descendant of one of the school’s four founders, Salazar Slytherin, who had an affinity for the dark side of magic.
The three friends eventually go to the Chamber and fight the creature.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

After being raised in the miserably unfair home of his Uncle Vernon Dursley, Harry practically begins life anew when he discovers that he is a wizard and is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Among Harry’s first-year adventures are making new friends (Hagrid, Ron and Hermione), standing up to the torments of school bully Draco Malfoy, and becoming the star player on his Quidditch team (the favored sport in the magical world). Harry’s life as a Hogwarts “first-year” is more interesting than that of most attendees, because he is already famous for surviving the attack of the evil Lord Voldemort, who tried to kill him as an infant. Everyone in the wizard world knows more about Harry’s family and his story than he does, so a great deal of the book is about Harry growing into his heritage. Little by little Harry grows to know about past, and about his parents.

Everything...Perfect

Have you ever imagined what a perfect world would be like? Perfect everything? A place where nothing is off center? Everyone gets perfect grades? Everyone matches? Everyone is just like the person next to them?
I opened my eyes, and wished I was perfect, I wised everything was perfect. I didn’t realize how horrible that would be, until the day my wish came true. It was a normal warm September night and being dead tired, I carried my self to my room. I entered and kicked aside all my clothes and collapsed on the bed. The second my body hit the cool, soft bed I was out like a light. The next morning is when it all took place.
I woke up, and I already knew something was off. I got out of bed and everything was clean, my usual messy, clothe covered floor was neat, and my closet color coded. Weird I thought, but I assumed that my mom had cleaned it while I was sleeping. Walking over to the bathroom, I saw that the hallway was nice and vacuumed, and all the stains were out of the carpet. Wow, this is pretty neat. Then I thought to myself, “If the whole house is perfect, then would my motorcycle be perfect too?” I couldn’t wait to find out, I ran to the garage.
As soon as I opened the door I knew that it would be better than I imagined. But to my disappointment my motorcycle had vanished, but not completely. In its place was an Audi A4. It wasn’t bad, but I would rather be zipping through traffic on my motorcycle. Looking on the bright side, I just got a new car!
I got dressed and ready for school, on my way out I saw breakfast waiting for me on the table. Weird, my mom never made breakfast, but I wasn’t going to stop her from making it. After stuffing my mouth with eggs, bacon, and milk, I was out the door. I started the car, and opened the garage. When I pulled out of the garage, I noticed something insanely weird. All the houses were the exact same. Same color, same structure, and same size; plus to top it off all the grass was but the same.
I was frozen, until I remembered my wish from the night before. I thought living in a perfect world meant just perfect people; I didn’t know everything else was going to change. Then right when I was about to pull out of my driveway, a man stepped out of each house with a lawn mower and started mowing. I looked back at my lawn, and to my amazement I saw my dad, doing none other than, mowing the lawn.
Within 2 minutes of that incident, the garage of each house opened up. Hence being a perfect world, an Audi A4 pulled out of every garage. I looked closely at the drives, and they all went to my school. I didn’t know what to do, so I just sped off to school. Who knows what the rest of the day had in store for me…

The Silent Hallway

The hallway was silent, I tiptoed anyways. The floor boards started creaking halfway down. I stop. Listened, for anyone else awake; Nothing, dead silence. I reached the end of the hallway and shined my flashlight down the stairs; I walked fast, but carefully, trying not to make a sound. My bare feet hit the cool wooden floor sending a chill up my spine, causing my arm hair to go into defend mode. I walked to the front door to grab my shoes, and I realized they were upstairs. I decided to put on my new school shoes. Wondering into the kitchen, I started searching for the key to the motorcycle. I grabbed the garage opener, and the key, and headed outside.
I was still trying to be quite, making sure no one heard me outside. Sneaking out, while living in an old people neighborhood, isn’t all that easy. I pressed the button to open the garage. Slowly the door rose to the ceiling, and there she was. My dad’s Yamaha R1, it was my dads but he never drives it, and since summer started I’ve been taking it out every night.
After inserting the key into the ignition, I turned it to the “start” position. I checked to see if the bike was in neutral. It was, so gently rolled it out of the driveway on to the road. I took it down a few houses just to be sure my parents didn’t wake up. The sound of the motorcycle was music to my ears. Looking at the motorcycle I slipped on my helmet, and sat down.
Revved the engine a bit before I took off, I shifted into first gear, but let go of the clutch too fast, while accelerating. This caused the front tire to jump off the ground, but luckily I got control before anything bad happened. I made my way to the main road, I was at cruising speed, when I felt the urge to just take off.
Shifting down from fourth into second, I acceleration faster than ever, and shifted into third within 3 seconds. I accelerated faster and faster, until I was closing in on a intersection. I applied the brakes, but I was still going at 90 miles an hour. I was 50 feet from the four way intersection, when I realized I wasn’t breaking enough to stop at the light. The braked harder but it was too late. Right when I was at the lights I jammed the front wheel brake, and I flipped. After that all I remember is hearing tires screeching.
The next morning I was watching my own funeral.

A Box In Her Pocket Final

She touched the box in her pocket and smiled. Knowing that no matter how far her love is moving he would always love her. Nothing could separate them; nothing could make one doubt the other. He proposed to her the day of his flight. It was last minute, but she loved him, and she knew he loved her. That was also the reason he was leaving her to go to another state, halfway across the nation. Just because neither of their parents agreed that they were good for each other. Maybe this was because they started going out at a young age, or maybe because they lied a lot, or because they snuck out at night together. Here’s their story:
Chris was a fourteen year old boy; who was in 8th grade, and attended Mill Creek Middle School. He was very fond of dancing, but his grades were always first priority. He wasn’t a straight a student, but never got less than a 3.5 GPA. He got along with his parents most of the time, and made friends with almost anyone. He was very athletic, and did track and football at school. His favorite dance was breakin’, as in break dancing, he was a pro.
Then comes Alexia, a fifteen year old sophomore girl; attended Thomas Jefferson High School. She was and outstanding track star, and a killer point guard for JV. Besides running track, and playing basketball, Alexia had a spark for dancing. This was a very minor part of her life; she didn’t do it much, only when people asked her to. Her grades were very dear to her, she didn’t try hard in school, she barley tried at all; but her grades were important to her.
These two didn’t have much in common when they first met, or thought they didn’t, but boy oh boy were they wrong. These two love birds met at break practice. At first they didn’t really know who they were but, soon when they started breakin’ more and more, they started getting to know each other. But this wasn’t the first place they met, they had met earlier that year when those two and 4 others went to a break competition together. They talked, and sat together at this competition. They also laughed, watched the show, cheered, and took pictures, ECT.
Then they started their very own break practice with 6 people. Three of them brothers, Chris, Nigel, and Luis; and the other three were best friends, Alexis, Shana, and Rene. They practiced hard; they practiced school days, weekends, whenever they could to perfect their routine. The whole crew met up at Alexis’s house to practice, and the beach wasn’t that far from her house. On the hot days, when they finished early, everyone agreed to walk down to the beach. Down at the beach, they walked on the dock alone, talked and had a good time. At first they didn’t notice but they didn’t look forward to break practice anymore, but instead they looked forward to seeing each other. That same day the whole group decided to play Truth or Dare. Sooner or later, one of Chris’s brother dared Chris to kiss Alexis, and he did. He put his arm around her, and leaned over and gave her a soft, gentle kiss. If you ever meet Chris, he will say that is the most treasured moment with Alexis.


The two got to know each other better and better, and they both realized that they liked the other. One day one the phone Chris asked her if she liked him, and she answered she did. Right then and there Chris asked her out, and she said “Yes.” It made him feel like the happiest man in the world. Time passed, the couple got closer and closer and couldn’t live without each other. Then strategy struck the two’s perfect relationship. Rumors started spreading, parents didn’t want them together, jealous friend tried breaking them apart, parents from both sides refused to let the two meet. This called for drastic measures, so Chris, not having his license, started to take the car out at night during summer to go see Alexis. This is how the two met each other until 2 months later Chris got caught getting back into the house. Since that day, the couple have been in trouble, but never gave up hope, and today they still are together, and show no signs of fading love.
