A squirrel came across an acorn and decided to bury it. Later, he forgot about it.

The acorn grew into a sapling. Caterpillars munched on its leaves. Then, it grew into a tree. Squirrels came for acorns, birds came for shelter, and people came for shade.

Years later, a young squirrel came to the tree and decided to make it his home. He didn’t know that the tree was planted by his great-great-grandfather.

I opened my eyes and looked around. There was ice cream everywhere, big scoops of ice cream. It started raining but not rain,sprinkles and flakes. Then I went over to the lake and the lake was not filled with water but strawberry syrup  and the waterfall was not dripping water but chocolate syrup. Then I woke up. I had been dreaming that was the best dream ever; it made me hungry.

A crop top, platform shoes, and butterfly clips. Who was she, from the 90s? Ignoring the stares, she strode down the bus aisle. Not me. I could hear the voice in my mind. Obviously she had to sit next to me. "I'm Ivy." She offered her hand. Is everyone looking at me? What should I do? But one look in her eyes, and I knew my answer. And I shook her hand.

“I don’t understand why mom made us come out here, it's so hot. We can simply just play Xbox” Alex groaned.
“At least we have Ruby.” Rob positively said.

The sky, a dark grey, from the smoke filling the sky. The water, was pitch black. The forests? None. Animals? There used to be blue water, clear skies, and wildlife. Humans kept littering, and using fossil fuels. Soon after, Earth was gone. This is a true story, or more it is going to be. Let’s start saving the planet now, before its too late.

The eagle flapped its wings close to a tree and began its search for food. It crept slowly behind its prey and jumped at it as quickly as it could. It grabbed the little creature scraping its claws into its neck. Shush. The eagle whispered. He could easily be spotted. The eagle swallowed the tiny thing and flew away carefully. The eagle flew high above the lake and swooped into the clouds.

The alarm clock was bouncing up and down, trying to screech in my ear. I jumped off the bed and turned it off. I sauntered to the bathroom and slowly brushed my teeth. My hair covered my eyes but I didn't care. I meandered down the stairs and ate breakfast. Then, I logged on to my Chromebook. I knew I was just looking at another long day without my friends or teachers.

I peeked out of the curtain once, twice, three times. I took a deep breath in and out. It was the first time I’ve ever been in a play. My BFF Ashley patted my back and told me “Don’t think about all the people watching. Be confident, and shine!” I nodded. The audience clapped. That was my cue. I walked to my spot, took a deep breath, the curtain lifted; time to shine.

The glowing got brighter and brighter. Then, just as suddenly, it disappeared. Upon the street, the man and the figures were nowhere in sight.
