Today is the day I’m finally going to talk to her. I have to talk to her. She is the most amazing girl I have ever laid eyes on. She has perfectly curly brown hair with green eyes that are like emeralds. She also dresses so nice and is so perfect, she is flawless. Many say she is out of my league, but you know I don’t believe them. There is only a week of school left. If I don’t talk to her now then I’ll have to wait the whole summer before I see her again. Today when I go into math I’m going to sit next to her. What will I say? I’ll complement her outfit. That is always a safe bet. What if she thinks I’m being weird? “Dude, Charlie, why are you still sitting here?” Conner says while giving me a very confusing look. “What do you mean? We have history right now.” …show more content…
I went to your locker and you weren’t there.” he says. “Are you sure? I didn’t hear it.” “Dude, I’m sure. Come on we have to go to math. Courtney is probably waiting for you.” “Shut up.” Conner is my best friend and has been for like 16 years. He knows how much I like Courtney and won’t let me live it down. He constantly tries to start conversations with her so I will talk, too. However, I always get too nervous and just sit there more awkward than ever. Here I go. She is sitting at her desk on her phone. Now is my chance. “Um—Hi, Courtney.” She isn’t answering. Do you think she heard me? Maybe she is just distracted on her phone? Maybe she is ignoring me? Should I say it again? Here I
“Straining his eyes, he saw the lean figure of General Zaroff. Then... everything went dark. Maggie woke up in her bed. “Finally woke up from that nightmare. Man… I miss my brother. Who was that person that my brother wanted to kill?” she looks at the clock and its 9:15am “Crap I’m late for work!” Maggie got in her car and drove to the hospital for work.
Lily is thinking “how much older fourteen had made [her]. In the space of a few hours [she’d] become forty years old.” She makes this connection after she realizes that maybe her mother's death could have not been her fault and that it could have been T. Ray’s and he was punishing her for it. This caused Lily to pack “...5 pairs of shorts, tops, ... shampoo, toothpaste...” $38 and a map (41-42). By doing this, it made her feel like she had aged, feeling like a 40 year old.
Stargirl was not like everyone else in Mica High. She was a unique individual with no restrictions to her own identity. But when Leo stressed the fact that she was so different, she undertook the task to change herself, for Leo’s sake. Even though Leo was euphoric with the new Susan Caraway, her shunning was not ebbed. The change did nothing for stargirl but cripple her jovial personality. Stargirl shouldn’t have changed herself for someone else’s motive, but should’ve kept herself the way she was, as your own happiness should be put before others, and there’s always someone that stays by your side no matter the notions made of you.
Since a child, Stargirl had always seemed a bit… off. Her parents seemed to adore her weirdness, they even seemed to encourage it at times. To demonstrate, her parents called her Pocketmouse. They used it to so much that even she started referring to herself as Pocketmouse instead of Susan. But did her parents ever do anything about it? Of course not. She kept the nickname, until she changed it to Mudpie. Then Hullygully. And then Stargirl. But at the time, I knew her as Mudpie.
I thought it would be funny and wanted to test the theory that they would stare at or slide away in order to maintain and take back their comfort zone. I did not expect that anyone would start a conversation with him or her or tell him or her to move out of the typical norm of courtesy. Getting video was a bit more of a challenge than I anticipated. My daughter is the bold one, however, because it is not the “norm” of society to sit with someone that closely given the other seating available she found it uncomfortable breaking the norm and making the initial approach. This is where bringing the boyfriend came in helpful as he had to lead the approach and sitting next to a stranger in an “out of norm” way. We selected two of our vid...
I packed my things into a small U-Haul. We were leaving the town I had always known, Houston, to go someplace I barely knew, a small town named Navasota. We moved when I was four because my parents wanted us to experience a small town like they had grown up in. Would I find new friends? Would the people there like me?
I saw her cry so many times throughout the last two years of high school and every time I did I’d always make sure to go over to her house after softball practice. I always wanted to make sure she was okay and if I couldn’t go over I would call her after and just listen and let her vent. The first time I decided to go over was pretty nerve wracking because we weren’t entirely friends yet. We talked and laughed together in class and I would come over to work on homework with her but it wasn’t ever for anything not school related so I was really uncertain on coming over unannounced. I eventually made up my mind and picked up whataburger meals with milkshakes and went over. I didn’t know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn’t what I saw because when I got there she looked completely fine and I was expecting some form of emotional mess. This was a type of Atypical dissonance because I had begun to expect her to be crying all the time but as I got to know her I learned that her parents weren’t really involved in her personal life and they always expected perfection. I finally realized that all those times I saw her crying at school were because she wasn’t able to cry at home. Eventually after realizing this and I knew she was upset I would pick her up and we’d get food from the drive-thru so we could sit in the car, talk, and
Hello my tantalizingly talloned troopers. You're hanging in there with me as my polishing powers persevere through this challenge. I'm glad you're still with me because today I had the chance to use something I really like. GLITTER! (Leftover sentiments from pre-school) I admit, I never grew out of the whole sparkly, colorful, fluffy and pink obsession that little girls have. I'll never disown Barbie, and I refuse to give up my love of sequines and rhinestones (I don't actually wear sequines).

Outside of school, she is really fun to be around, always wanting to play a board game, go for a walk, or bake something. I often find myself doing homework with her and she is constantly lifting my spirits by playing music or showing me a crazy
I stare at Marie as Momma E lets her in the house. Oh lord! I tell myself shaking my head at Marie. Why did Momma E had to let this bitch inside the house, after Eli and I got into a heated argument.

She does not know if she has some how done something to turn you off and by the time you actually call or show up she will be ready to give you the power of the relationship and do what you want in order to keep you coming
