Epilogue
The first day of school: take three was a success. As I thought so, they were scared of me and my reputation, and I went home with a happy feeling in my stomach. They’re scared of me, I thought. I’m not the nerd that I used to be. I knew from this day that everything would change. Nothing will ever be the same, with Erik arrested and everyone trying to stay away.. The next day, lunch was different. Everyone was trying to get away from me this time. Not the other way around. I was eating lunch and I was really lonely, since nobody wanted to sit by me. I was sad and a little upset of the way that things have been, but it did spark me that I wasn’t the scared one. Nobody invited me to their house, nobody wanted to play with me, and

However, I started to hate this life, but towards the end of school, someone decided to make it worse. She was from Helena, Montana, and she was one of those girls that are ugly yet fierce. Her eyes always seemed to be filled with fire, and she walked with a stomp that terrified everyone. Her name was Olivia, and she walked straight up to me to ask me a single question.
“Are you Paul Fisher?” she asked fiercely. I didn’t know what to say. Was she mad at me , or was she happy to see me. I wanted to be on her good side so I replied with a gruff,
“Yeah. Yeah I am. Is there a problem with

What did I just do? Who knows what this girl has done. For all I know she might have murdered someone. Should I tell her that I am not the person that she thinks that I am, or should I live up to the expectations of my bad boy reputation. This whole thing of meeting at this place tonight sounds a little sketchy and a little weird. Mom picked me up at school at around 3:00pm. Today felt different… I did not know what was this odd feeling was and what it was coming from. As we got home Dad seemed like he was trying to hide and keep something from us. I decided to just let it go, since he has been quite moody since Erik was arrested. For the next couple of hours I decided to work on my homework and I was texting Tino about how the Tangerine farm is going. Everything was good on the tangerine farm and all of the tangerines are healthy and ripe. Tino said that at Tangerine Middle School everything's the same, including the soccer
8th grade, 8th grade from the opening day to the signing of the yearbooks. This is the year of memories, goodbyes, and regrets. 8th grade and I’m still realizing that there are people in the world that would die to go to a school like this. A school where every body knows everyone’s name, respects everyone, and where violence and fighting are about as common as the Yankees missing the playoffs. When I’m done with my homework and go to bed, as the days of 8th grade wind down, summer will come and go, and I will find myself in one of those giant, scary places called high school.
IT WAS MIDNIGHT by the time that I had returned from school. School had finished late, but not that it mattered. No one was waiting for me. I looked at the front door, something was different, something was amiss. I slowly opened the door, perhaps someone had come to visit.
Of course, this didn’t go over well. The moment I got on the phone with her she had a certain tone in her voice. It sounded as if she was annoyed with me, did she not expect me to call back? “What do you want?”
I didn’t know if the mean person was out of my house yet. I didn’t know if he came with someone else and if they were waiting for me. I was too afraid to get up and walk down the hall. I was frozen in time.
Her response to that was also not something that I was expecting. She laughed. “What? Why are you laughing?” I had to ask; instinct wouldn’t let me get away without being at least somewhat imposing and awkward.
Earlier that week my mom had kicked my father out the house. My sisters and I were coming back home from getting boxes to pack and my father was following us home in his truck. This wasn’t a protective follow either more eerie and ominous. I had pushed this to the back of my head and got ready for our event. Once we left our home to go our church, my father was gone. So later that night, my sisters and i started to feel like something was wrong, but we couldn’t place our fingers on it. We all become trapped in our subconscious trying to place where our sudden worry was coming from. The next day we got word that our mother was in the hospital,but we all thought it was because she was stressed out about the move. Little did we know something terrible happened. Things around me changed at home. My eldest sister Safiya moved in with us along with her husband. My niece was already living in with us at time so now Ta’ki got to see her
Everybody expects life to be “easy” once they are “adults” when, in reality, their lives have just begun. Life is full of surprises, and expectations are based on your perception of these so-called “surprises.” For example, if you were told all your life that other areas aren’t as good as the one that you’ve been living in, growing up in even, then you won’t want to leave the place that you have so many memories from. This happened to me the spring break of 8th grade. I had to move from Jenks to BA, which I absolutely hated at the time, but I soon realized that the move was one of the biggest blessings of my life.
Do you remember your first grade year? Not many people do, but i’m gonna tell you a story about my whole first grade life. It was the summer before I went into first grade. My mom had told me and my brother that we are moving. We didn’t know where though.
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 remember my first day in middle school as terrifying. Walking down the long hallways I doubted I could accomplish anything. Until, I walked into my social studies class. My teacher’s name was Mr.Lawrence gave me the confidence I needed and made learning fun. And, it made me feel from his introduction i would at least have a chance in his class.
I woke up with a grin on my face, ready for the long but exciting day. Today could change my whole middle school career. So many questions. Where to sit at lunch? Where to go for classes?
The feeling to fight someone came to mind, however I quickly put on my earphones with music blasting loud to ignore my thoughts. I walked right passed them to the bus without talking to anyone. Purple tops were everything I seen on the bus- today was purple day for school. I found a seat in the last row and I quickly placed my pack back besides me to indicate that I didn’t want anyone to sit by me. I felt there was someone standing by my seat but I look out the window and ignored it. Callie sat on the seat of the opposite side from my seat with Tammy by her side. I looked out as I started to ask myself “why would she do such a thing? She was one of my best friends. We would always tell each other everything and anything.”
My name is Lauren De Silva and I just moved here from California with my family three months ago because my dad had a job transfer. This town seems to be bigger than the town I used to live in. Back to my story, many people say that I look prettier with my hair down. But I always loved to tie my hair up because it is pretty long and dark brown hair with some highlights. I’m tall but not too tall, about 5 feet. I wore glasses, which made others perceive me as a geeky student who only cared about grades. All my things with me were pink because it is my favorite co...
The last two days of school were really fun. On Thursday I went bowling with some of my friends. Then on Friday, I went to eat at a restaurant called Sizzler and I went to play in an arcade with my friends.
It was around 2:00pm and it was time to open presents. I started with opening friend’s presents then I opened families. I was finally done opening all my presents. I looked around at all the people, who were looking at me and my dad was nowhere to be. That was the only present that I was looking forward too. The party ended and my dad didn’t show up, my little four years old hopes were in the ground, it was like I could feel my heart ripping appart. I looked at my mom and she mouthed I’m sorry, my faced turned rosy red and my eyes filled with tears. From that moment on my life was never the same. It was a dark cloudy day and I was going to see my dad. We were playing the game Sorry and he was winning. I was the yellow player and he was the green player, he was laughing and smiling the whole time. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my Friday afternoon any other way. When the game was over he asked me to clean up the game while he went out to smoke a cig. When he entered the room and the game wasn’t picked up, he went crazy. His eyes seemed to turn a dark almost black color. It was like he was a completely different person when he came back
