“Love is true and solemnly between two people, a deep devotion shared.” This is the quote that lay under my shrine of Garrett. He was so beautiful, with his long gold locks, and his sun kissed skin. I loved him so much, he was the perfect boy. Today I had to look my very best, as it was the first day of my second year at Newhall High. I woke up at five in the morning to do my hair and makeup perfectly. I didn’t have to worry about my outfit, as I stayed up until three picking it out the night before. Everyday since the sixth grade, I forced myself to kiss goodbye my shrine of Garrett, and if I didn’t, it would mess up my entire daily routine for the day. If everything wasn’t perfectly perfect, how could I function? Second to my love for Garrett …show more content…

She wore pigtails and the tiniest skirts, it’s not surprising how all of the boys were constantly trailing behind her. “Despicable,” I said to my friends. They were agreeing with me, afraid that if they defended Adelaide I would go on full rage mode. I hated this girl, I was so utterly jealous of her. I could not let anyone know this, so I put on a happy expression to disguise my hatred for her. The boy with the most interest in her was Garrett, of course. I knew this from the start. If she thought that she was going to get with him, well, she was in for a …show more content…

If anyone was to be caught talking or cheating, they would receive an automatic zero. I crumbled a piece of scrap paper for the test, and threw it at the back of her head. “OUCH!” she yelled,” Who did that?” Ms. Fletcher sternly got up and stomped towards Adelaide, “If you are not aware, this test is worth seventy-five percent of your grade, make another peep and I will give you a zero.” Adelaide stood up straight, and continued to do her test, wincing at how much her head hurt from the force of the paper. I then whispered, “Adelaide… Oh Adelaide.” She turned to me, and said, “Huh?” She then moves toward me, and Ms. Fletcher immediately stands up, yelling, “That’s it,” she walks over to her, “I hope you like looking at a failing grade Adelaide, let this be a warning to all of you, if you test me, you will fail my class!” I snickered in my seat quietly, and looked at Garrett’s face, disgusted by the fact that this seemingly perfect girl cheated on the biggest test of the year! My plan was working ever so

But we all still think and talk about them everyday.(I mostly talk about Cherry.) When we see the Socs wondering the streets we don't go over and try to pick a fight anymore. We either smile and wave, it's like we're all one big friendly neighborhood.

    Gasping. Fresh air fills your chest. Scaldingly cold. Opening your eyes, a blinding white room occupies your vision. Again. A profluent voice issues into your head, “You have been revived by your loving government. You have experienced a near death experience. Please remember than intentional deletion is not permitted in Australia. If you wish to be deleted, please present your application to a local branch.” Slowly, you heave your new body off a coroner’s table. The world sways slightly. Fixer drugs do that to you. Wandering through a hallway filled with debris, you reach the high arcing front door. Barely impressive anymore, you pass under the crumbling masonry without a second glance. On the street, the soft cascades of a thousand footfalls

  • Cheating Vs Cheating

    1415 Words  | 3 Pages

    “For every clever person who goes to the trouble of creating an incentive scheme, there is an army of people, clever and otherwise, who will inevitably spend even more time trying to beat it. Cheating may or may not be human nature, but it is certainly a prominent feature in just about every human endeavor. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more or less” (21). This quote is important because it proves how everyone has cheated once. In many cases it is true, people often cheat on tests or even on their diet. Not everyone can live up to their expectations. Some may justify it, others proudly proclaim it, and others will try denying their cheating vigorously. Most people consider cheating as a bad and unwise action. In this novel, it gave two examples of cheaters, school teachers and sumo wrestlers. It shows how both authors can take two different people and still find something similar with both of them, like cheating.

    Despite these works being written over centuries apart, the authors correlation of the concepts of love were notable.

  • Emily Dickinson And John Donne's Comparison Of Religion And Science

    1321 Words  | 3 Pages

    The author, John Donne, had a distinct amorous and philosophical style in his literary work characterizing love as religion. Donne was born in a religious Roman Catholic home, which influenced his decision to be ordained as a deacon and priest in his adult life. In his amorous tone, Donne often uses metaphors and imagery to describe and display his love for someone or something. Metaphors and imagery are one of the central figurative languages used by Donne when characterizing his love as a religion that bewilders him in how for every good deed he’s done, the woman won’t return the favor. The metaphors and imagery used to characterize an intangible thing contribute to the theme of how love pertains to our lives just like religion

  • Pranks

    We listened as Mrs. DeCostia enumerated the names of those involved. “Kat, Tara, Kelly, Alexis, Rob, Joe, Matt, and John.” She announced with annoyance. How is it that all my friends got in trouble for the greatest prank in Fairfield’s 75 year history, but my name was left off that prestigious list? I watched my friend’s proud faces as they walked to the front of the room and I laughed as I heard Matt say “So you caught the people, who perfectly reconstructed your room on the roof of the school, but you will never know who the genius behind it was, and as long as that stays a secret, we’ve done our job.” Then Mrs. DeCostia grabbed him by the shirt collar and dragged him outside. Soon there was a wave of people standing and clapping for their hero, the only person to show Mrs. DeCostia what a horrible person she really was. Apparently since my name had been left off the list, they had no intention of revealing it. But still I got the greatest prize of all, even better than being called up there with them: knowing that it was my idea to take every item out of her room and put it on the roof. There was a loud slamming of the door and soon the classroom fell silent. “Whose idea was it?” shouted Mrs. DeCostia. She was answered by silence. “I’ll ask one more time: Whose idea was it?” She said, speaking ever so slowly to ensure he understood. This time she was answered by a deep voice that could only be recognized as John’s. “You’re never gonna know so you might as well give up now.” “Oh, I will find out and when I do that person will be expelled! Now who is it?” Then in a voice that always seemed to say “What are you looking at?” Kat said “Listen lady, I don’t know who you think your dealing with but you’re never gonna know. We’re like...
