I slept peacefully last night. I woke up around 6:00 in the morning. I wash my face before heading to the living room. I took out some eggs and cooked them. I made scrambled eggs. I turned on the TV and Drake and Josh is on. It is 6:15, so I quickly eat my scrambled eggs and head for my bathroom. I wash my face again and brush my teeth. I put on a blue crop shirt and a white skirt that is up to my knee. I put on Our Moment by One Direction perfume. I put on blush glass liplicious lipgloss from Bath and Body Works. My stepdad came in. "Wow you look fantastic darling." "Thank you." "Last night I bought you a pink bike with a basket, it's size 24." "Thank you." "It's in the garage if you want to ride it to school or you can walk with me if you want to." "I think I'm going to ride my new bike instead." "Ok." "I'm sorry dad, I know you want to walk with me, but today I want to ride my new bike." "It's ok darling, because I bought a bike for me and your mom." "Do you want to ride your bike with me to school?" "Yes darling, your mom is coming along." "Ok." "I'm going to read my library book while I wait for her." "Ok." My dad said. I took out the library book I borrowed yesterday and I started reading chapter 14. Chapter 14 is really good and there is more drama in it, than any other chapter. My mom walk in and she stares at me. "You look very astonishing honey." "Thank you mom." My dad walks and he said, "are you guys ready?" "I'm ready." I said. "I'm ready." My mom said. We all walk in the garage. We unlock our bikes and my dad opened the garage door. My mom's bike is mint green and has a bigger basket than mine. My dad's bike is blue and is bigger than my mom's. My mom's bicycle is 26 inches and my dad's bicycle is 28 inch... ... middle of paper ... ... posters about math. The room is big and very colorful. Math is my favorite subject and science too. When I was nine years old, I started to love math. I love science, it's a very interesting subject to me. The bell rings and students' voices echoed in the nearby hallway. The teacher wrote something on the whiteboard. I copied what she wrote onto my planner. I looked up and the room was filed with students. "Class, we have a new student." The teacher said looking straight at me. I smiled at her. "Her name is Ella, come up here Ella." She said motioning me to go to the front. "Introduce yourself to us." My math teacher said very softly. I am shy around strangers. "My name is Ella, and I moved here from New York. My biological dad abused me a lot, and my mom divorced him. I am still traumatized from the abuse but I am happier than ever." I said with a huge smile.
Every chapter I would summarize what I read, my mom gave me compliments of how I was improving. We would both talk about the book. I finished the book and my mom was impressed by the improvement I’ve made. It was time for us to watch the movie. Once we watched the movie, we both agreed that the book is way better than the movie.
“What are you reading?” My mom asked when she saw my book in my hand
“That is my playing mom.” I answered. She then closed the door and proceed to wash the dishes. My mom just complained about my playing and she usually never pays attention. I thought to myself. I soon began taking
Arriving at Lacey’s house I walk to the backdoor letting myself into the house. Lacey was putting on tanning lotion in the kitchen, “Lacey,” I called to her, “my mom wants me to pick up snacks for the beach, do you want to go into town with me?”, “Sure,” she replied, “do you mind if my cousin comes with us?”, “Of course I don’t mind,“ I answered, “but we have to get moving, my dad only left me the car to use ‘til noon.”
I woke up to the sound of my mom calling my name. ‘’Just five more minutes,’’ I said as I pulled the covers over my head. ‘’We’re going to Yosemite.’’ my mom said. My mom finally dragged me out of bed. I trudged into the bathroom and then brushed my teeth and got dressed. ‘’Well look who got up.’’ my grandma yelled. My sister ruffled my hair. ‘’Hey bro.’’ my sister said sitting down for breakfast. I went and joined her. “Do you want cereal or french toast?” asked my grandma. “I’ll have cereal please.” I said. We all ate breakfast and packed some backpacks with waters and got on the road by 8:30. My sister sang a song I didn’t recognize. “What song is that?” I asked. “Heart of gold” she replied. “Never heard of it” I said. We pulled up to the
The summer Alison turned thirteen, many significant events imbricated in the Bechdel family as well as throughout our country. First of all, Alison’s “father’s secret almost surfaced” (153). He started seeing a psychiatrist, which Alison realized as an adult, was probably to stop cheating on his wife with underage boys. Alison’s diary plays an important role in this chapter specifically because as Alison explains, “There was a lot going on that summer. I’m glad I was taking notes” (154). The Watergate scandal was also unfolding during this time in Alison’s life. It seemed to occur with what she perceived as the loss of her childlike innocence as she explains, “It was only one of many heavy-handed plot devices to befall my family during those strange, hot months” (155).
I was in a stage of shock. I really thought she was going to blame me for taking the cookies. “I was hungry and I didn’t think I could wait for dinner to be done cooking. I took the cookies without asking. I’m sorry momma.” Samantha’s story sounded so fake but, I went alone with it. “It’s okay sweetheart. Next time just let me know and we can fix the problem. You did break the rules and I want you take out the trash tonight and tomorrow.” Mom commanded. Wait, is that all she has to do? I yelled in an angry voice.
Bonnie the secretary introduced me to my new teacher. As Mrs. Bonnie was leaving the room, my new teacher Mrs. Evaheart introduced me to the class. As I stared at the class I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. I wanted to go back to my old school where I had friends, knew almost everyone, a place where I didn’t feel lonesome, a place anywhere but here. As I saw each and every one of my new classmates faces the utter dread that I felt slowly began to fade as I saw a familiar face. Seeing one of my former friends give me a renewed hope that maybe being in this school won’t be so bad after
I was so tired of riding my red and silver scooter around thanks to my two older sisters Vanessa and Nora. Wherever we decided to go they always rode their bikes no matter how close or far we were going especially since it was summer time. They always found a way in getting me upset mostly when they enjoyed making fun of me just because they arrived before me or they had to wait for me to arrive. If my sisters had to wait they would yell or begin calling me unnecessary names. Since then that became a reason for me to learn learn how to ride a bike. Due to my constant nagging my father began teaching me by letting me use my sister Nora’s bike since it had brakes. Nora's bike was perfect for me but I hated the color for being a bright yellow. I wanted to learn how to ride with Vanessa's bike but my father said no since it had no breaks but it really wasn't a big problem for me because all I wanted was to learn how to ride.
“surely it will firm up mom,” I said yearning to get them done so that I could go eat turkey. “Why don’t you go take one of the pecan pies to grandmom’s house so that we will not have to waste time later on.” Ok I said happy to finally have something to do. We loaded up into my dad’s truck and started to leave for the three minute drive to my other grandmas. I held the burning hot pie on my lap so that it would not slip and fall. It was so hot from just being out of the oven that I had to hold it with a towel. As we drove my mouth started to water. I was very hungry to get my hands on a slice of the other pie. The pie smelled so good! When we go to my grandma’s house I handed the pie to my dad to carry up the steps. When we got there my grandma greeted us at the door. She looked at the pie and said “yum” I knew this was a good sign! We chated a little bit and then it was time to leave. We got back in the car for the ride home. I looked at my watch. 12:00. “Oh no,” I groaned. “We are really going to be late!” When we got home I walked inside and just barely got my coat off when my mom came in the living room with the
It’s Halloween and I had gotten back from trick or treating hours ago but I still sat in my costume. Mom had taken me trick or treating because dad had to work late. He always has to work late. I was planning to stay up as long as I had to until he got home. Mom had tried to coerce me out of my costume but I had held my ground, daddy just has to see me in my costume. Mom had tried to explain that he could see me tomorrow. But I countered in that it wouldn’t be the same or as special. He has to see me in my costume on Halloween or it just doesn’t count. Finally she gave up and said goodnight, probably t...
W arrived at my grandmothers’ house around 5:30, at once my aunt Gaye grabs me by the arms, “Hey girl! Give your favorite Aunt Gaye a hug!” pulling me under her arm. I yanked my head away, but I already got disillusioned by the smell of month old gym clothes. “And who is this fine young boy behind you?” I was so red by this point that I just took him to the kitchen, introduced him to the rest of my family, that was there.
“Look mom, they’re so cute. Can I please get them.” I implored her as she was looking at the sweaters. She insisted that I should have listened to what she said when we walked in there but I wasn’t paying attention to what she said before. It was only a million times that I begged before I stopped because her answer was always no. I have to admit I was furious. I threw the shoes back on the shelf and stormed outside and got into the car slamming the door. I waited for my mom to come out. When she came out I saw her with a bag indicating that she bought something at the store. This made me peevish. As we were driving back home, I was shouted words and comments that have never came out through my mouth when I ever spoke to my mom. She bounced back with a comment that was the final straw of my anger. “If you actually weren’t lazy and did work around the house then maybe I would have bought them for you.” We were on the road that lead to our house. We stopped at a stop sign. Little did my mom know was that I opened the door when she halted at the stop sign. I didn’t have a seat belt on so as soon as I pulled the door handle and stood from my seat, I jumped out.
“I know it is not polite of me to have gone through your things, but I did and I found a picture of my mom. A couple of days later I wanted to look at it again and this time there was more pictures and some postcards. The postcards are dates from recently and I don’t understand what’s going on. Whether you think so or not, I am old enough to know what my mom is doing that she couldn’t provide for me herself.” As I finished my speech they glanced at each other and then my grandpa finally spoke
“Hello Miss Megan, or should I say my royal highness” she said with a playful smile, promoting my fantasy. I curtseyed to her and then ran to the kitchen to grab another handful of snacks. I plopped down on the floor cradling the Cheerio box in my lap. I watched my mom and grandma share hushed conversation near the door way, followed by a lingering hug.
