I spotted him before he spotted me. His blonde hair and blue eyes shined bright in the darkness of the night. His Mariner’s jersey was bright white, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I was like a moth to a flame. The haunted house had a line out front, mainly teenagers. The nerves started bubbling over and the voice in my head yapped furiously. My mom doesn’t know I’m here, I’m a liar, my dad will be so disappointed, I’m actually afraid of haunted houses, will Dakota even glad I’m here? I knew that lying was wrong, but right now being the perfect older sister, perfect daughter, perfect truthful human… was not my priority. “Aly, I am so glad you came!” Dakota said as he approached us. This made my nerves twist in a good way. We lined up and entered the haunted house. Ryan first, then Dakota, then me and then Maddie bringing up the back. My eyes were attempting to adjust to the lack of light and my ears were ringing with the screams of people who went before us. A tiny voice spoke to us, “Where is my mommy? Have you seen my mommy?” She asked through little sobs. We kept walking, she was at the end of a hall, sitting in a little chair, with her back to us. In a split second, she turned around and jumped at us. “Help me find my mommy!!!” She wailed. Her face was mangled, covered in blood and gore, the stands of her greasy hair stuck to her mutated grin. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. As if on instinct, Dakota reached for my hand. My grip could have killed a small animal, but he didn’t seem to mind.

As we turned on the mower and we were off we did the bushes and the flowers and the grass and the pond and everything else. We were almost done but it was tiring. We had been doing it for almost 3 weres and so we took a break to eat.  as I was walking I asked ‘’are we going to watch the great British baking show’’ as we walk inside ‘’don't forget to take off your shoes’’ my dad tells me ‘’ok’’ I shout back to him ‘’what are we having for lunch’’ I say ‘’ I do not know but when you come here you will’’ my dad says ‘’ok’’ I say as I take off my shoes and slip on slippers and walk to the kitchen hi mom hi olivia as I think to myself mmm I can't wait to eat some fooood! As I walk to the table as I sit down. My mom had made one of her rillly good omelets with potatoes and ground beef and more! It was so good the beef was crunchy on the outside and salty and the potatoes were soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside I know that I said my bed was like Heven, but I was lying I guess because this is better this is like Heven. Suddenly, my dad phone dings he pulls out his phone and tells us that Josey had died in her sleep as it went silent.

Around 30 mins later we walked to another park called Triangle Park. There was a dark blue purplish sky with white clouds. we were just talking and laughing then we saw someone far away, but we didn’t think much of it but, when he got closer, we saw his bright orange pants and his ripped black shirt and I thought to myself “he’s probably lying.” for some reason we saw him jogging we thought he was just going to talk to us but that jogging turned into running and that running turned into sprinting by brother warned us by saying “someone is chasing us!”. We all started running! We were running as fast as we could, but he was fast himself with his long legs. but we were way ahead so he was not going to catch up, as we were running I yelled “take a left” and we all took a left we kept running half way up the street then we stopped and caught our breath and started walking I kept thinking in my head “why is he chasing us” he stopped chasing us so we were a little calmer we were talking about how some of them were laughing a little but they were serious at the same time.

“Are you ready” mom asked. I said yes, I am ready. I went in the car, came to school and I didn't know where to go. I saw the front door, and I saw everybody looking at this yellow paper, might as well look at this too. I saw my name; it said I must go to A105. I said where is that, like they're should be a guide. My journey has begun. I started walking there passing multiple classes. There it is, I said what class is this? They said “Advisory” teacher told me. “What's your name?” teacher asked me. I said Yahye he said “Yeya” I said Yahye, he said “Yehya” I said just call Yaya he said “okay” and “welcome.” To be honest that was hilarious, but the teacher was nice. Once I stepped into class my mood changed, I was so shy. In my mind I felt like a kid in preschool. In my mind I was too shy to talk. I was so focused. I said why is this class so long. I didn't realize it was going to be 2 hrs 30 min! That got me fuming, Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Finally, it finished. Next class, here we come. Bro, why are these hallways never ending? Finally, I found my next class he said “welcome.” He said his name was “Profe Ever.” I said how do you say it? We were struggling to say his name and he was struggling  to say our names. Class was done, I was struggling to find my classes, they said we had an assembly during fourth period, I was happy because we get to miss fourth period. I found my next class, and the teacher couldn't say my name. It was assembly time, they were telling us about the rules, at this point I didn't even really care, I just wanted to go to lunch, I was hungry.

I was so mad, I didn’t know why, because I usually would just calmly try and get other people on my side to confront them (which usually worked), Don’t snap, don’t snap, don’t snap, I kept telling myself. “No” I said, trying to keep my cool. I was trying so hard, trust me, not to overflow, not to explode. But he just looked at me, but oh I was so mad, I was just getting started. “ALL YOU EVER DO, IS GO FOR US AND BE SORE LOOSERS WHEN YOU GET OUT” and just like that we were both screaming at each other, he was fuming, I was on the verge of tears because this is what happens when I bottle every bit of my anger up then let it out by screaming at someone. Just then the teachers outside had blew the whistles, signaling to every that recess was over. I didn’t care, all I cared about was if I won this argument. He turned away to walk into line, I still didn’t care. I grabbed the 4 square ball that we used to play, and with all my strength, call out his name, I watched him turn around and threw the ball, straight at his face. I didn’t care. I watched him slightly crumple at the impact, his face was red, and he looked like he was about to cry. That’s when I walked away, into my line, my job was done, and just like that, I had won, both the game, and the argument. I did it, I told myself. I walked away in satisfaction, happiness written all over my face. (I was in 4th grade😣)

“Here’s the first thing.” the narrator said. “It might be hard to see but I will highlight it in a second.” Of course, we were all puzzled and we paused the video and went back to see if we could find anything. “Bro,” Tycho said, "Can't see what that guy is talking about.” We all kept looking, puzzled. We played the video, and the narrator said that there was a hand that slipped from underneath something. “Nah,” I said, “this isn’t scary enough guys.” Colton looked at me and said “Yeah, I agree.” We just kept trying to find something scary enough to keep us watching and then we found something after a while. “This looks like it’s creepy.” Colton said. “Alright,” Dominik said, “got to use the bathroom.” “We're not going to pause it for you though.” Tycho said. We watched the video about this guy who saw this guy at his front door, and we got freaked out on how it looked like some real guy. Then we watched this guy who was taking advantage of a scary prank who was in a clown costume. I hope we don’t play scary pranks on each other; I thought. “Dude,” Dominik said, “I think I saw something move outside in some mask.” Tycho went over to the back of the couch and the rest of us did the same. “Gah!” Tycho screamed, “I saw it!” This was a prank to scare the rest of us, and we barricaded the couch area entrance, shut the blinds, and started freaking out.

So, I continue to play connect four with my friends. Time flies, the last thing for today is Capture the Flag and I thought “the area is so big.” Who gets back all their flags (3) first, then you win. And the teams are yellow and green. Then we started the game; I thought “the green team are strong because they run fast, and the yellow team are smart.” At last, the game is a tie, and we all go back home.

So, I pushed my brother away and grabbed the book. Right now, my brother is crying to my mom because I pushed him. So, I started to read when I was about to finish the book my brother stole it from me, I started to chase him around and ask him to let me finish the book but, he screams so loud my ear hurts. Why would he scream so loud, I thought to me. He hides the book and will not let me finish it, I told my mom about it, and she said let him read first. I was frustrated that I could not finish the book. "Please let me finish the book,” I asked him. I tried many ways to ask him to give my book back, but he would not give it. So, I tried giving him snacks or letting him watch Tv, but he still would not give me the book. My brother loves snacks and loves to watch Tv. I looked at places that he might hide and found the book, so I finished the last few pages.

We Neer the end of the block as Dravis skids to a stop. Mulch from the house next to us flew. I hardly notice the itching feeling of my friends watching me. I shrug my shoulders suddenly self-conscious and say “what?” Joey Clears her throat “How was it?” she asks, “it was fine” I reply then my face brightens up “it was actually pretty fun!” Joey shoots me an I-told-you-so face and I give her a sarcastic smile. “Can we do the same thing on the way back in the area just past your house, to the end of the street?” Dravis steps in. “Uh... ok” I agree. The cart was not that bad. Dravis grins and starts pushing while Joey turns the cart around. I loosen my grip on the cart and smile cautiously. We pass my house in a blur, and I hear wing beats just above us. I looked up and a big crow was looming just above us. I saw that Dravis had seen it too. He reached out his hand and pointed upwards as he shouted: “look! A bird!” I turned away swiftly as Joey’s gaze shifted to the ash Black bird, but my eyes were Fixed on the bump just ahead of us. “LOOK OUT!!” I screamed but it was too late the bump toggled the hand, and we turned abruptly and hit the parked car just next to us. The crow’s eyes were looking at the mess, obviously amused. “You should go” I say to my friends through clenched teeth, but they were already Trudging home.

At the top of the lift, I ask Dad; “What should we do first?” “How about sunrise?”, replies Dad with a grin. Dad says Sunrise isn’t actually the name of the run, but I swear to this day that the run that connects Golden Nugget and Silver Fur is called sunrise. Skiing down the slope, I take in the beauty of the almost untarnished nature. Each and every tree has its leaves heavy with snow, like a cupcake someone very generously iced, so that the icing is practically falling off the sides. When we’re back at the top, I suggest we ski Outback. My suggestion is readily accepted, and we head over to the run. On the trail, I spot an offshoot behind a tree that I think looks promising. When I get close to it, I ask Dad, “Can I go on that offshoot?” “OK”, responds Dad, not warily at all. I wonder now if he thought about what could happen to me. After I’ve gotten confirmation, I push over to the little gap in the tree line where someone (probably many people) had started. My feeling of exhilaration increases as I sail over the first rugged and ungroomed jump. I’m ready for more!

We got bored from the park so my cousins decided to do something that would change my life forever.

They all started to act possessed and they were all chasing me. I mentioned earlier that I believe everything, so I thought it was real. Then they started laughing and I said “what's so funny?” And they said “Youve been pranked” I was furious. I was thinking in my head why did I think it was real. After that we just went back to the house and all my cousins were laughing at me. Now I know not to believe everything. Thats the story of how I got pranked. I will never trust my cousins again.

We decided to stop playing tag and eat a little. We eat and sit there while we hear yelling from our siblings. They were as loud as if they had been scared by something. We go back down to the basement and look outside. “The sun is setting, we should do some stuff when it gets dark! Brad yells out. “What do we do then?” Alan asks. Brad runs upstairs and four minutes later he comes back with a flashlight. “Let's play museum!” “Ok!” We all yelled at the same time. We turn off the lights and we wait a few minutes while Brad gets Meli and Lara. Wow it’s dark down here. I thought to myself. When they got downstairs all the lights were off. So, me, Brad, and Alana waited till they got downstairs to scare them. “BOO!” We hear them scream and we all laugh. Brad started the game, and since it was a few people's first time it ended very quickly. We play a few more games then some of them started acting crazy. Just as we were going to start a game, we got called upstairs. I thought I was going to win that game. While I was lost in thought everyone else ran upstairs.

We all looked over at the little boy who threw the block at Willa. He had a big smile on his face. Since he was the one who started throwing blocks at us, all my friends started throwing blocks back at him. He was getting so mad. I did not realize that my friends were throwing blocks at him, so I grabbed two blocks and threw it Straight at his face when he was not looking. At this point he was fuming he was so mad. I knew I said I would try not to get into any problems, but I did. I tried so hard not to laugh. But his face was so red and was angrily grabbing blocks and throwing it at my friends and I, but we dodged most of them and we laughed so hard. “omg” Lucia said while laughing. Oh no I thought to myself. Then one of the defy workers came and said, “You guys good?” Nobody said anything so he walked away. At that point the little boy was so mad he dropped all his blocks and went up to one of my friends and kicked her. Then he went up to another one of my friends and punched her. Ouch I thought to myself. He tried to kick all of us, but he failed. Then he looked like he was going to cry. We continued throwing blocks at him. He ran to his mom, and we ran away laughing. We knew we were not in trouble because the little boy started everything, so we continued playing and laughed so hard about what had just happened.

As we were next in line, I knew this wasn't going to be fun but terrifying. When we got on, I took a deep breath and got on it with my family. When I got on the ride it felt kind of uncomfortable. As they put the security thing on, I started to feel nervous. My dad started to hold me on the ride. Then he said, “Don’t worry I'm with you” And I started to take deep breaths. And this was when I started to feel much calmer than before. When it started to go super-fast, I knew that I had made a big mistake. As it quickly accelerated towards the big fall, it weirdly started to go slowly which worried me. And then, it hit the steep fall that I was seeing everyone screaming at. I didn’t know why but everyone started to put their hands up on the ride. Then I thought “How is my dad not even making a face at this ride”? At this point I also realized that there was literally like a 5-year-old on the ride. “How can he even be on this ride” I told my sister. “Yeah, he doesn’t even fit the height requirement.” Then we heard the worker say, “Hey no kids on this ride if they don’t fit the requirement”. Then the mom said, “But he’s just a kid”. Then I thought “This person just made the workers day even harder than it already is.”

If you looked at the look of my face, you would laugh to hell. Yes, it was that grotesque.

The song started playing in my head called “road to heaven” and “clean up the roooooooom” Because my mom told me to clean up the room in the morning and I haven’t. If you look at my room, you could easily choose a room with roaches over my room. At that moment, I was paralyzed for a nanosecond and unable to speak. In a few minutes from now, Jesus would be in front of my face. IN FRONT OF MY FACE, DO YOU GET IT? IN FRONT OF MY FACE!

My brain is arguing and is giving me a Headache. Here is the argument:

The Argument of my stupid-nonstupid brain.

Clean up the room! But There's no Time! Just clean it up already. BUT THERES NO TIME! JUST CLEAN BRO JUST DO IT YOU COULD BE DONE! BUT THERE IS NO-

So yeah, that's my brain’s argument. The ‘THERE’S NO TIME!’ Piece of my mind won. But there is hope... right?

My eyes fly open. I instantly know something is wrong. It must’ve just been a bad dream I think uneasily. I check the clock. 3:30 AM. I decide it is probably nothing, and go back to sleep. What feels like seconds later, I’m woken again. What is it this time! I think angrily. That’s when I hear it. SCREEEEEEEACH. SCREEEACH. BOOM! CRASH! I have no idea what is happening. My mind goes blank. Something rains down on me from the ceiling. It is thick and tastes like wood. It fills up my throat. I start coughing and gagging. What is that? My grandmother rushes into the room. “Kids! We need to get out of the house!” I don’t hesitate. I jump out of bed, still in my pajamas. I’m filled in on the way out of the house. Apparently, a huge tree fell onto the house, completely crushing half of it. I ask one final question, even though I already know what the answer will be. “What do we do now?” I ask. “I don’t know.” I examined the house. I see the dining room, completely fine. The living room, completely fine. I don’t see any damage....

“Oh, my mom is here I should ask her if she wants a quesadilla.” I thought to myself, and then I said to my mom “hey mami do you want a quesadilla?” and then my mom said to me “yeah can I have two quesadillas, with a lot of chesses and make the quesadilla extra crispy  please and thank you.” so then I started walking to the kitchen to make two quesadillas for my mom. After a while I finished, and I gave it to my mom to see if it was good. “Is it good?” I asked to my mom, then my mom told me “Yes it’s so good Eva and it is so Chessy, thank you.” “Yeah, your welcome, mami.”  So, then we started to watch the movie with my mom. After we watched the movie with my mom, we all got tired, and it was late so then my uncle had to go back to his house, so we said bye to him. After my uncle left my mom, brother and I went to the room to go to sleep. “Good night, everybody” I said to my mom and my brother. Then my mom said, “good night, Eva good night, Ariel” “buenas Noches,” said my brother. Then we all went to sleep. “Good morning, everyone” I said, and then my mom and ariel said, “good morning.” I opened the curtains, and I saw that the sun was shining, and the birds were singing. I thought to myself “it’s such a beautiful morning.” Then my mom started to walk outside to see the chickens and to listen to the birds. Then I said aloud “today is going to be the perfect day.” Until I heard my mom scream my name aloud. “Eva!!” so then I was going to the door but my mom was already at the door so then she told me “Eva  and ariel come with me out side, it an emergence” so I quickly put on my shoes and went outside to the chicken coop, and when I got there I SAW FETHERS EVERYWHERE! And I saw one chicken, but I did not see the other one, so we looked for the chicken everywhere, and then we had to go and check on the neighbor's back yard, so my mom looked under the balcony and she saw the dead chicken there

I got up, got dressed. "I’m bored.” I said. Today I think I'll play with Pi, I thought. and went down to the kitchen to get some food. After I had some food, I got my grandparents' laser and looked for Pi, let me just say that looking for Pi can take up to a full day. This time however, it only took roughly from 9:00 to 10:00. So, I thought it only took about 1 hour to find Pi, even while shouting, "Where are you, Pi?”. Fine I will explain the plot, my name is Tristan, I was 10, I was in Jeannette for 3 weeks. And the cat Pi is now dead.

I was inside my house thinking to myself what should I do? I thought and thought, I could play outside. So, I went to mom begging her if I could play outside. She said yes. So, I called my 2 brothers saying mom let us play outside. My brothers face full of happiness. So, I went outside asking my neighbors if they wanted to play outside. They said yes. So, when we were playing outside my neighbor Yakuba was it. So, he rushed trying to tag me, but he missed. So, when he tagged my older brother. My older brother thought to himself who should I tag. He looked at me with a smile on his face. ‘’I knew that I could not outrun my older brother.” So, I rushed behind the car. My brother tagged me but at that moment I tripped over a rock I was in pain! My older brother told my younger brother to get mom and dad. My parents came out of the house to pick me off the ground and clean all the blood on my leg. “When I finished showering my mom and dad called my two brothers inside.” “When they finished showering my mom and dad called my 2 brothers Adil my younger brother and Nadir my older brother.” When they came downstairs and asked if I was better, I said I was okay. So, we all sat at the table to eat dinner. Then my mom told us to be careful. Then my mom said tell the truth. But I told my mom I am telling the truth that I tripped over a rock. “We then said OKAY When.” I finished eating dinner my mom and dad took off all the Band-Aids and the tape of my leg, my mom told me to stand up. I stood on my tippee toes.

Our boat pierced through the cold Puget Sound waters. As we drove to the spot where we were going to fish. We passed a ton of inlets and bays. After about forty-five minutes of driving. We finally arrived at the fishing spot. We put our lines in and started to drift. A few minutes in, I had a bite, I reeled in as fast as I could. Finally, a fish popped out of the water. It was a flounder. It flopped around. Flounders are flat bottom feeding fish. “Oooh a flounder!” My uncle said. I felt proud of myself for catching a fish. It was my first time catching one in the Puget Sound. After the fish had a quick meet and greet with my uncle’s fishing knife, we kept on drifting. A little while later my rod got super tangled, so I set it down and waited for my uncle to help me untangle it. But a few seconds later, my rod started shaking around. I quickly picked it up and reeled as fast as I could, which was not fast at all due to the line being tangled. I looked down into the water. I could see the long grey shape of a dogfish in the water. By the time my uncle had untangled the rod, the dogfish had baited my rod and escaped. We caught the same dogfish two more times, the first time it escaped and the second time we caught it but let it go. “The storm is going to get here soon” my anxious cousin said. We should get back sooner than later I thought to myself. As we were pulling our rods out of the water and getting ready for the trip back to the house, storm clouds rumbled in the distance.
