I followed him around for about five minutes. We came up on a long turn, and Gavin bounced his front tire off the ground once. I saw him do it and I thought it looked fun, so I did it a bunch of times when we were coming around the turn. The handle bars started shaking back and forth, and I knew I was going to fall. I leaned my head to the right so I wouldn’t hit the curb and crack my head open as I fell.

The loudspeakers turned on and started to play jump around. Every one of the 80,000 people at that game rose out of their seats, and began to jump.The entire stadium shook, as 80,000 people jumped up and down to the music. You could feel the vibrations of the stadium as your feet came in contact with the ground, only to jump back up into the air again. It was as if the 80,000 people had become one, massive leaping giant.

When we arrived I got out of the car. The field was on a hill and had a  large playground next to it. It was perfect weather for the game, not too hot, not too cold. It was also sunny with a slight breeze. I ran to my team's bench, put my bag down and started doing warm ups.

The cave was maybe a 5 by 3 foot opening and it was pitch black. My grandpa wanted to stop and take pictures so we did. As we exited the trees we heard a gunshot. It was very loud and at that moment we saw a buck running from back behind us. We entered a clearing and realized how sunny it was. There were zero clouds in the sky. The clearing was very short and we got right back under the trees. We could see that we started to walk up a hill. One point in the hill it was very steep. When we started walking up we had to take a break because it was so hard to walk up.

Emma didn't know what to say, does she cry? Does she get mad? She stared into space and thought for a few minutes. “Hey… you okay Emma? I know this is a lot to dump on you.” Kris said. “Can we go see her?” Emma barely got the words out before bursting into tears that she couldn't hold back anymore. “Aw Emma, I'm sorry.” He said, as he reached over and gave her a hug. “Yes. Let's go, right away.”

Just then the bus stops. It’s time for school. Cam takes my hand and rushes me off the bus. I know she’s uncomfortable and wants to beeline it down the stairs just as much as I do. We walk to homeroom and sit down to wait for Mr. Sanchez. He comes into the room and starts lecturing. I zone out for 30 minutes until I feel a buzz in my pocket. I look to see several missed texts from Vanessa saying “ I’m sorry Cal! Please we need to talk.” I immediately delete the texts. Slowly one by one. I power off my phone and watch as the screen goes black. Going dead and silent. A dark black screen, and a broken friendship.

On today's agenda is hiking and cliff jumping, which is quite unfortunate when

taking into account that heights are my biggest fear. I get done with my morning routine and head downstairs, and realize I was the very last one to finish. Shocker. Everyone is downstairs playing  Monopoly waiting for me to finish getting ready. The others clean up their game and grab their bags to leave the house, while I grab a couple of last-minute things to throw in Samantha's bag because the last thing you’re about to do is catch me carrying a bag all day. Everyone hops in the car with Donny in the driver's seat and we

head to the mountain.

We sat down to eat lunch, at the picnic tables overlooking the beach. My mom starts pulling out sandwiches and chips from the cooler. My dad grabs drinks telling us to stay hydrated. I grab the cool can, setting it on the table. My mom hands my sister her bag before her phone starts ringing on the picnic table. She glances down at the caller ID before declining the call. We were having lunch on a beach in Hawaii; nothing could ruin the beauty and peacefulness. We began eating before her phone buzzed with a notification. Her phone kept buzzing, texts flowing in one after another. Then her phone rang again. I glanced at the caller before my mom snatched her phone off the table. It was her friend Kyle.

“Hello, I'm Mrs. Driscul, I'm here to help you with some reading”. She had glasses and very light blonde hair almost white with frail skinny fingers and some wrinkles. I never thought those words were the start of my struggle. The start of my tears. The start of a lot of my pain.

She looked back at her mom and Johanna before jumping. Johanna waved. Cleo jumped. The wind rushed in her hair and it blew in her ears, droning out any other sounds. Her ears popped. The air flew around her as she descended. Once she got down to the ground, Cleo laughed loudly with joy. Her face lit up and glee along with terror filled her heart.  “That was really fun! Can we do it again?”

I throw the volleyball up in the air, as it reaches its peak I bring my arm back smacking the ball. It soars through the air just barely over the net at a diagonal. The whole crowd goes silent, all on the edge of their seats. The ball was hit with such force that nobody could dig up the ball in time, making us win the final point.

We also went to cities like Struga and Tirana with them. The day we went to Struga was on June 24. The river there was really pretty. It was as clear as crystal.  In Struga I was obsessed with the ice cream there, it tasted really flavorful.  A little after that, On July 18, was the day we went to Tirana which is in Albania. During this summer, my family and I were only there for a week. So, the day we left was on July 28. While we were there, we went to a hotel which was right next to a beach. We went shopping, swimming, and just walked around to enjoy and explore the place.

Once I was about to say my fear I started to see it. They start crawling out from cracks in the wall. Crawling in from the window. I start to scream. As I was screaming they kept crawling in from everywhere. They were huge and hairy. Lily and Molly kept asking me why I was so scared. After I finally calmed down I told them about all the spiders I was seeing.

As I got on the bus I stared at the rows of kids in seats all staring at me. As I hobbled past all the kids my heart pounded as every single one stared at me with wide eyes studying me to see if I was worth talking to or worth bullying. When I sat down in the back of the bus I looked out the window as the bus drove by the houses in my neighborhood. I saw a handful of kids getting car rides from their parents to school since ‘it's their first big day of 10th grade yippee’.

We all had finished our lunch and we were going to find a new spot to spend the afternoon. “We should find a spot to fish,” suggested my grandpa. Me and my cousin Peyton agreed that it would be fun to fish for a bit. We drove by the Memorial Union on our way to find a spot to fish. I pointed out all of the colorful chairs along the lake to my cousins as we drove by. We found a spot and fished for a while and then we all started to notice that the sky was getting really dark. My dad checked the radar again and said “ now it looks like we might get a little bit of rain”.

I was sitting in homeroom listening to Mrs. Lavin talk about our electives for 8th grade. It was near the end of 7th grade, a sunny spring day. She was listing the classes that you could choose from. FACS, tech ed, art, business, French, Spanish, band, orchestra, choir, agriculture…agriculture! That's the one thing I knew that I wanted to do.

Speaking of dangerous things on my bike I started getting into stunts. I pretty much just looked up how to do a stoppie, and after about 1 month of practicing I can finally do it.I also can ride and turn with no hands which is kinda cool. If I love something and I want  to achieve my goals, I will always achieve one I truly want to achieve.

It was the week before our biggest competition yet. After the week was over we all got ready for our 4 hour bus ride to the convention center. We all got in uniform and got warmed up. It was almost time to perform. All of us were scared about our routine, but then Maya had the best idea!

“We should all go conquer our very deadly bucket list wishes if we won first place”.

When me and my dad took it back to the store, we went to the desk and asked about the bike. “I would have to see a video.” The worker told us. Somehow, we had a video to show him. Earlier, I said, “We should take a video to show them!” and it actually came in handy. The worker actually told us: “The noise should go away soon.” It didn’t.

When I woke up the doctor was beside my bed. He had the results of the scan. I was very nervous because one of my worst fears is having to get surgery. The doctor told me I had a grade 3 laceration in my left kidney. I became very stressed. “What If I have to get surgery?” “What if I have to stay here for a long time.” My thoughts were making me more stressed so I calmed myself down. The Doctor told me I won't need surgery because an injury like this heals on its own. He told me I would be moved to another hospital to stay overnight. This was so I could be monitored by a trauma specialist. All my stress and worry was unnecessary and I got good news in the end. From this experience I learned to not stress and worry about things that aren't a big deal.

Finally after we all tried out to the rides we were wanting to do we ended up spotting a ride called Raja. Everyone thought it looked so fun, plus it was pretty new at the time. So we all waited in the long line for about 20 minutes which is pretty long for a water slide. But the closer to the front of the line we got the more we noticed about the slide. When you get to the front you choose if you want to go by yourself in a single tube or with one other person in a double. At the top of the slide you enter into like a half of a tube then when you do two circles it's fully enclosed and at the end you drop into something that is kind of like a bowl with a little bit of water in the bottom. When we were in line we kept seeing kids walk back passed the line with disappointed faces and we were wondering why. When we went to the front of the line we realized why there were kids turning back. It was because there was a scale and if you didn't weigh enough you couldn't do the ride. Of Course we were all too light to go by ourselves so we had to do doubles, but even then we were still a little off the weight. So we came up with a plan, the plan was when the two people were getting weighed we would have the next one of us in line put a little bit of their weight on the edge of the scale but just enough for it to get to the limit because if we put too much it would be easily noticeable.
