    I was stomping all over, My head was hot, my fists were clenched. when I was waalking through the halls I saw him, didn't even think, just acted, I dropped my bag and threw my fist right at his nose and he fell with a bang, after that I was Suspended from school and grounded for a week.

    I walked into my room and turned on my fan. Glitter rained down around me. I noticed a note on my bed. It read "I hope you like cleaning! Hahaha." I marched over to my brothers bedroom and swung the door open. I glared at him and crumpled his note up and threw it at him.
    "I see you got my note and gift."
    I just stared at him. My breath was heavy and steam was coming out of my ears.
    "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?!?!?"
    "For fun. And it worked."
    I trashed his room and left to get a broom.

    I got home from school went into my room and just layed in my bed till supper time, not wanting to do anything. I wake up the next day and I don't want to get up or get dressed. I don't get out of bed all day...

    I woke up 10 minutes before I had to leave for school and put on an overside sweater and baggy jogging pants. I didn’t say anything to my parents before leaving. I get on the bus and look for an empty seat at the back, hoping no one sits with me. When I went back more I went straight to my room and played XXXTentacion. Soon after I started to cry. I woke up the next morning and did the same thing.

  6. I could not even move, I just stood there frozen in shock as she fell to the ground. I could feel tears forming, I tried not to show her how I felt, but the tears started flowing, I run over to her but I'm too late. She left me. I kneel by her side waiting for her to come back, but she doesn't she is gone. Forever.

    I walked into the room. She was on a phone call. Was pacing back and forth. I was going to turn around and head out the door when she dropped to her knees. Her hand over her mouth as she shakes her head. A tear drips down her face on to her cheek.

    After school, I was going to the post office. My phone had alerted me that my package arrived! My heart was racing. I walked into the post office like it was the best day of my life. I then bought the package back into the car and opened it up. My heart stopped beating. I put my head down my shoulders dropped. They had shipped the wrong item. My life was over. Then I threw the package on the car floor and went back home.

    He plumped down on the couch as he turned the TV on with his bowl of chips beside him. D'mitrik had just found out that they were having oysters for supper, he slowly walked to his room as he threw the remote at the couch.

    I walked in the door hoping there was some one at the table. I walked up the stares I looked behind me no one was at the table. I started to walk faster when I got to the top I looked around no one was here I when in to my room. the door was open I looked in slowly ... my stuffy was riped and the stuffing all over the room I turn n the light. I yelled my heart was raceing my face red. my room was a mess and my dog was sitting on my bed trying to look like the good one. I ran out of my room and went to the kichen and got a garbage bag and pick all the stuffys off the floor.

  12. As the Teacher walked to her desk, and pulled out her binder, I felt my heart drop into my chest. My mind was racing frantically, as I tried to bring my notes to mind. The teacher placed the sheet on my desk, and as I peeked at the first question, my face displayed an expression of despair and hopelessness. My pencil shook in my hand, as I scribbled down my first guess, while my mind showed me images of my parent's disappointment at my grades.

  13. I woke up bright and early and jumped in my parents bed. "It's Christmas! It's Christmas! I ran into the living room and there it was the huge pile of presents! There was a really tall present and I was hopefull but my family took FOREVER to get out of bed. Once we were all together we opened our presents. I went first and got a new stuffed animal, it was pretty cool but I really wanted a barbie dream house. All the presents were unwrapped except for the really tall one that was for me. Please be a barbie dream house please be a barbie dream house I whispered to myself. I opened the present and it wasn't a barbie dream house it was a pogo stick!

  14. Calstrothult of Bazumetly the vI looked around when they got to Jupeter. His calthrotal valve had been spasaming for the past half hour of the trip. His external lungs started to fill up with water and his air excelerators began to go into overdrive lifting him of the ground a little bit. It was better than Pluto. It was better than Alaska. The thick, poisones fog hung in the air and he took a deep breath in. He could see the storm a few miles away and he began to slunck towards it where he wished to stay for the rest of his life. As he got closer and closer to it he felt the wids pick up. The holes all over his body began to appear and disappear more and more frequently to let the air pass through him. He lay down in pure bliss as he fell into stasis.
