Lonely  

"The sad truth is the truth is sad." 

Ring Ring Ring! The school halls fill with children pushing left and right, going in and out of classrooms. Class is finally over 

am trying to keep up with my friend named Kai. When finally catch up, I ask about the party he told me about the day before. “It is going to be a dance party,” says Kai, “There’s going to be a shining disco ball and a colorful sleek dance floor! I just wish I could go to the party, but I am going to piano class the night of the party,” Kai sighs, “Maybe you could go and tell me about it!” Kai exclaims, “I don’t know, You’re my only friend.” say, “Then you can go to the party and make more friends,” Kai replies.  “Fine, I’ll go,” I reply. 

When the night of the party came, I slowly walk to the party house, I see in the distance a building filled with beams of lights and roaring music. I trek through the muddy dirt road towards the flashing lights and the loud music. When I reach the door to the party house, I take a deep breath and push the door open. It's like I walked into a different dimension. I see the DJ playing the loud music I heard from a far. I see the glistening dance floor Kai mentioned. I'm not very good at dancing so I sat down on a chair off to the side. After I sit in my chair for a while, I realize that I will probably sit in the chair for the whole party, but I’m fine with that. Near the end of the party, I’m lonelier than ever, before I liked siting off to the side and watching people dance. But now I see that everyone is having fun but I’m not. I just wish that I hadn’t come. But suddenly I see another kid just siting off to the side looking sad like me. I hesitantly stood up from my chair and walked towards the lonely kid. When I was at his chair slowly I ask, “Would you like to be friends?” His frown slowly turns into a smile. “Yes! I would love to! My name is Arthur!” He replies, “I thought everyone hated me in this school!” I smile. I had just made a new fantastic friend! 

 

The Books

 
 Once Upon a Time, all the books of the library lived in peace. Then one day the librarian got fired and all the books got very messed up causing all the characters going from one book to another. Every single kid that read one of the messed-up stories got stuck in the book that they read. There was one character that went into the book called Little Red Riding Hood that character was Alice in Wonderland. Seems Messed up right. Well remember that all the books were messed up. Anyway, Alice found Little Red Riding Hood in the rightful book that Little Red Riding Hood should be in. “Alice asked what book I am in?” and Little Red Riding Hood answered, “well you're in the book Little Red Riding Hood.”  after a little bit more talking Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood became friends and they both knew that kids got stuck in books that they read so Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood decided that they would help save the kids and help them get out of the book that they were in. 

 
 

 They adventured to the book Harry Potter and they found a kid named Tiny. Tiny was quite big for a kid but that didn't matter he was stuck in between a battle Little Red Riding Hood through her basket of muffins at Voldemort and Alice in Wonderland told Harry to stop casting spells.They made it out alive but now they had to figure out how to get out of the book. To get in the squished into the side of the book Harry Potter. So, to get out they needed to find the edge of the book and squish into it to get out, it took a long time to find the edge of the book, but they made it and they're pretty tired, but Harry had secretly followed them and saw that they were very tired and luckily Harry had brought food and shared it with Tiny, Alice in Wonderland, and Little Red Riding Hood. After they finished eating, they came out of the book they were turned Tiny to the Overworld and Alice and Little Red Riding Hood Ben's back two Little Red Riding Hood’s book. All went well when Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood saved Tiny from Voldemort. But there was still one more kid to go. 

 
Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood I looked in every single book they could accept one Alice in Wonderland’s book.  They found a kid named Sherry so much better and she was lost in the forest Alice and Little Red Riding Hood found Sherry and Allen Show in Sherry what berries were edible. Sherry, Little Red Riding Hood, and Alice in Wonderland went to pick berries to have a snack. They ran into the mad chef and everyone started to sneeze. “let’s get out of here!” Alice yelled. Soon after They ran into the Mad Hatter and the Mad Hatter insisted on Alice, Sherry, and Little Red Riding Hood to stay and have some tea. So, they stayed but only for around ten minutes because the Queen of heart’s wanted to execute them for some reason. And her cards were on their way to capture Sherry, Little Red Riding Hood, and Alice in Wonderland. They needed to run quickly with the cards on their tail. When they reached the end of the book, they got out of the book, but the cards followed them out of the book! But luckily the cards got scared and ran back into the Alice in Wonderland book. Just then the new librarian Walked into the messed-up library and made everything neater and then Alice and Little red Riding hood knew that is when they needed to go back to their books, and they lived happily ever after. Except now Alice is always on the run because the queen wants Alice dead for whatever reason.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom full of magic named the kingdom of Magic. It wasn’t always magic, in-fact before the trolls came there was no magic at all! And this is how we, the trolls came to the Kingdom of Magic. In troll land it was always very busy, but I liked making portals to other worlds through mirrors! I would explore the new world and tell my parents about the world that I explored. Things were quite normal until our plant exploded of stink. I quickly made a portal to a new world and I told my parents to tell everyone to go through the portal I made everybody made it before the plant exploded and that portal took us to the kingdom of magic! When we came, we taught everybody in the new world magic!

                                                           The lonely boy                                                       

At the big school dance there was slippery and sticky floorBeside me there was a chocolate fountain. Big colorful balloons filled the room. The ceiling was old and creaky                                                                                                        

 My friends were over at my house before the dance and one of my friends said Anthony are you supposed to be warring Sumthing nicer a t shirt and some gym shorts. I said no I have nice shoes on they are the vintage Nikes. We were going to the dance in our bikes when we pulled up to the school. it was around 4:00 the dance started now, and we went in there and all around us there were people.  

                   I walked in and there was a huge Shandler dangling on the old ceiling I had a cup of mountain dew when I tripped on a string and bumped into Max than he started making fun of me. Max pushed me so I pushed him back we both got in trouble, so we had to go outside and then we saw clouds rolling in but there was no rain but there was thunder and lighting and for some reason everyone started leaving me and Max were all alone there at night in the chilly weather and we were enemies. Then Maxes mom came and picked up now I really started to worry my bike was stolen I was locked in school and no one can pick me up and I was all alone in the dark. Then lighting struck the school did not think much of it but then I started smelling smoke and then a tree on fire fell next to me. I turned and looked at the school the whole gym was on fire and no one was at the school to help me I had to put out the fire. 

                                 I went to the 5th grade classroom because my brother was in fifth grade and I saw that his teacher loved to drink water, so I thought some water bottles would be in there. After all I was thirsty and because I needed to put out the fire when all the sudden, I heard liquids from my feet looked down and the classroom was flooding. Now I was Reely tired because in was around 2 in the morning I was lonely to when I heard some sirens outside of the building. It was the firefighters and police they rescued me. The next morning, I woke up and no one was at home all I wanted was someone to be there when my mother came home, I said after what happened last night, I feel very lonely. 

                                                                

 

 

The Shark and the Whale 

                      It was a nice day in the Bahamas while Steve was on a fishing boat with his dad his dad said do you want to go swimming. Steve said shir I'll go get my wetsuit on when got his wet suit on he dove in the water. He was looking under water when he saw a tiger shark the shark said follow me. Steve followed him to the reef and the shark had a cave where he sheltered. Steve asked where are you taking me. 

                                The shark said don’t worry the cave was leading to the depths of the sea when they reached their destination the shark said time for the feast when a blue whale said I don’t think so. The whale bit the shark and the shark was hurt the whale said ride on my back to your boat he was riding on the whales back when the shark bit at the whale and the whale got his tail and whacked the shark so the shark swam away and was never seen again

             The old house on the block 

There is a house on the block that has dead dry grass. Also, every morning the house has a small black figure that runs along the crunchy tree branches. When the fog comes over the house every night shadows of ghosts haunt the town. At 3 o'clock AM an old creature sits on the front porch pulling spider webs down. 

 

I was walking in the streets trick or treating on Halloween night. My friends were running home with me and we saw an old house with Lites on. My friend Vincent said let's go to that house I said shir. We were sneaking to the house when we heard a running in the brush. It was around 11 o’clock and we have made it to the house we shrugged when we heard a big bang inside the shed. 

  

                                At the front door we smelt a toxic smell it smelt like super glue. We didn’t think too much of it when we saw an old Russian gas mask on the ground. I thought cool and tried it on. I took it of a meatily when I saw spiders crawling out of it, we walked to the side of the house when we saw a toxic lab. 

 

               We slowly opened the door and walked in it was filthy. Funiture was every ware it was flooded with sewage water and the windows were broken. We quickly ran into the kitchen and everything was moldy food, bread and drinks. We heard the big bang again a guy with a white mask long hair and a hazmat suit busted the door open and just stood there. He got out a dead rat and threw it at us we sprinted out of the house and ran home. 

 

The next day we were at school when we saw a guy that came out of his car and threw a matchstick and set the school on fire, we evacuated. That night the black figure was hiding in my closet. I went to sleep at 2 o’clock am when I woke up and looked at the door when I saw three sharp fingers opening the door and the creature came out and scratched me and my dad came in and slugged it. And the thing flew away and never came back. 

 

          Next year June 16, 1984 we went to Arizona for summer vacation. We had a little campsite in the desert we told scary stories and ate marshmallows. It was June 20th, and we were driving on the block we pulled in the driveway and are house was no longer there it was the old house on the block.

The moral of  the story was never go in a strangers house. 

 

11/5/20        The underwater school 

 

 

 At the bottom of the ocean there is a rough colorful reef and swaying green kelp. At The twilight zone there is a sunken submarine on the rocks and scary big sharks. At the sunlight zone is silvery small schools of fish and big fat whaleson the surface there is flapping winged pelicans and tide pools along the coastline. 

   Steve is at the tide pools and he is looking down at the big deep pool. He drives his pod into it and goes down. The fish thought it was a real fish because it was yellow. He has heard that there is an underwater school at those tidal pools. He went deep down past the sea anemones past the coral past the crab villa and finally he was there. It was an underwater cave that had seaweed tangled all around it. He drove his pod into the cave and didn't believe his eyeshe saw a whole bunch of fish and a lobster teacher. 

This lobster was nice and didn’t pinch. On his chalkboard it said never go to the tidal pools on high tide or you will get IngjerdBut if you’re a fish you will get washed away. He greeted me into his class and gave me a seaweed neckless. I said thanks for the neckless he said always. He said take a seat when the fish scurried and fought over seats. 

   The teacher said today were going to learn about the tide. You know when it's high tide when the water rises. I was boring already so I told the teacher I need to go to the bathroom. When I tried to drive the pod to the bathroom a mean grouper pushed me into a rock.  

It started leaking and the teacher got a crab and sealed it up. We had one more thing to do and it was art. I asked if a fish can you be my partner. The art project was making your own reef. My friend Johnny the fish and I were the number one bestie’s in the class. I had a great day. 

         

12/15/20                                           If I was able to travel back in time, I would go back to 1982. I would go back to 1982 so that I would be able to wear knee socks and go to the arcade with my friends. Also, I would go back to 1982 to see rocky 3 in the movie theaters and et the extra triserial. Also, in the 80s good music came out like tears for fears Hewy Lewis and the news Gorge Michael and so on.

                                                                        Lonely 

                               'It is lonely when you’re among people, too,' said the snake.” 

                                             ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince 

 

 At home was a hard wooden floor and a soft comfy carpet. There was a sturdy purple bed and a brown long-lasting nightstand. On the celling was a big, black fan.   

My name is Candice, and I am in the 4th grade. Sat 27th 2021 I woke up thinking was a normal day then realized it was my friends party today, but the party was in... 3 HOURS! Well, I thought to myself I can just go early. I grabbed my invention, that my friend gave me yesterday and rode my bike to my friend's house. When I arrived, it looked so awesome like I was in a fairytale. Wait, I thought to myself I FORGOT MY SWIMSUIT and I didn’t realize ether I was in my PJ’s. So, I zoomed my bike to my house and changed into my swimsuit and zoomed back. I was so panicked I even forgot what the party looked like. I was blushing so much, I looked like tomato, but I didn’t care I was so fired up. When I arrived again, I saw what the party looked like again. It was like the first time I've seen it.  

There was green, bushy grass and a glossy, big pool. Also, a red, massive table with fresh, delicious snackspointy, rainbow party hats, and blue, wet water balloons sitting on the table. What hung from the sky was colorful, bright balloons. In the sky was white fluffy, clouds and a shiny, huge sun. 

I came in and what I saw made me offended. I saw my friend talking with my backbiter, Kaitlyn. Well, she WAS my friend, until she backstabbed ME! UGH this girl makes me bananas!!! Well, I thought maybe she won't notice me? But nope she saw me of a blink of an eye. Oh no I thought is she going to hurt me? But she didn’t because she didn’t want to be a tight-fisted person and didn't want my friend to stop being friends with her. 3 hours later all the people came with presents except me. I forgot to bring my present and I felt foolish. I rushed home. I thought to myself why do I always forget everything? When I came back, I surged in the pool swimming excitedly and talking with friend. I got out of the pool eating the snacks and throwing water balloons at each other. Until I saw Kaitlyn was muttering to her friends. I didn’t know what was going on but didn’t bother to care.  

I changed into my clothes and settled to sit by the pool. Then Kaitlyn and her friends were behind me. I thought it was my friend until Kaitlyn strong armed me into the pool. I was soaking wet. I dashed out the pool hearing all the kids laughing. I grabbed my bike and rode it home. I was crying when I got home, I slumped on my bed thinking why she pushed me. Sometime later my friend came over and tried to comfort me with her beautiful words and complementsAfter, she went home, and my mom comforted me to when she came back from work. Finally, I went to sleep dreaming about the day I had.         

 

The forest girl and the bully

At school there was a bully named Jack who always bulled Isabelle he would pick on her saying mean things to her and was rude. One day Isabelle ran away from school, she took of her glasses through her notebooks and took of her shoes and she ran into the forest then Isabelle realized she was lost she wanted to be one with nature, so she did she wrote down information about animals on trees she made friends and was eating healthy all day. After a month in the forest Isabelle was hanging in a tree intel Jack came into the forest because he wanted to pick on her again, he found Isabelle hanging in a tree and started to pick on her again she was not surprised to see Jack initial she said ‘’I don’t care if you bully me” Jack said ‘’what are you going to do about it’’ Isabelle said ‘’lions attack!!!’’the lions roared at Jack and he ran away like a cat and the moral is stand up for yo

                                                                    The Haunted House 

There is dead, tall grass and big black spiders crawling on the grass. What is a in front of the house is a rusty, old fence and what is next to it is a dusty, musty bush. What was above the house was stiff broken windows and a cracking thin tree. Above in the sky was a rocky bright moon and squeaking flying bats. 

On Halloween night I was alone and saw a dirty abandoned house I walked up to the old musty door I heard the leaves crunching as I stepped on the leaves and heard a dog barking ‘’woof’’, I looked left I looked right but nothing no lights were on either, but it didn't bother me. 

 I knocked on the musty old door and expecting for a person to open the door and hand out a bowl of the sweet candy, but no one was there so I knocked again and thought if there wasn't anyone in the house, they would leave a bucket of candy by their doorstep I looked down but no candy. I was curious and knocked one more time then the door opened with a creaking sound CREEK no one was there, or no one was holding the door. I had 2 opinations 1 I could run away or 2 go inside so I went inside.  

I went inside and saw lots of shattered glass all over the moldy rusty floor I felt a little scared and shivered, but I still walked avoiding the shattered glass. I went to the kitchen it was stail broken and had so many cobwebs and spiders. Until... SWISH I felt a cold tickling shadow behind me I turned around, but nothing was there I walked some more for 5 minutes looking for an exit until I heard a whispering quiet voice saying, “roses are red violists are blue I know your here because I will find you’’. I shacked in fear. And ran out the door not looking back. 

Until I heard a voice behind me saying “WAIT” I turned around and I saw a girl with black hair, ripped up clothes and was a GHOST! Don't leaveShe cried. I need your help’’ she sniffled. I stopped and asked nervously “ U..um what do you need”. “I need to fix my old house” she asked. I thought I need to know her better so I can help her. I confinity said ‘’I need to know you before I can help you. She nodded slowly and told me her name and her backstory. Her name was Lucy, and her back story was she was poisoned by a dangerous man when she was 10 years old and she was waiting for her revenge. Now I got to know her better I could help her, so we started to fix the windows Lucy gave me invisible glue to glue the windows. After I glued the windows it looked like it wasn't even broken so I did it to some more windows after that we started to sweep and mop the floor and dusted the all the cobwebs, we painted the kitchen walls and the furniture we put her food and cans in the shelves next, we went to the living room  the couch was broken and the TV was cracked I used the glue that I used for the windows it worked then we sewed the couch and painted the walls, and it was done then we went upstairs to her bedroom it was messy we fixed her bed and added a new dresser. Lucy hanged her favorite panting's. Then we fixed the bathroom we painted, fixed, ugggggghhhhhhh. But there was 1 more thing we needed to do paint the outside of the house we painted the outside of the house before the sun rose. Finally, we were done Lucy rewarded me a gold bar I was jumping up and down. We said goodbye and was skipping home. I learned that if you help someone, they will reward you.  

 

 

  

11/5/2020                                              The Adventure 

        At the dark bottom ocean there is dark black water strange unique fish swimming around and rocky brown hills. Above are big blue whales and strong biting sharks. Where it gets lighter are colorful bright coral and wet long seaweed. Up above are beautiful swimming fish happy jumping dolphins and shiny clear waves crashing the sand like a wrecking ball. 

Up on the surface is a mermaid named Faith she was tall her tail was rainbow, and she was a part of the royal family. It was her first day of fish middle school. She went in the math class pod with the number 251 and it as so clean that when flies land on it they can slip. She went inside and saw so many other mermaids and a lobster teacher? Faith sighed put away her book bag and sat in her desk. Ms. Lily, who was the teacher, told Faith to stand up in front of the class so she did. Ms. Lily said in a sweet voice “mermaids this is Faith be nice to her’’. She sat back down to her seat. The other mermaids whispered at each other one of them whispered she's a part of the royal family. The lecture begun about fish math she whipped out her notebook and began to write. 

After math class it was History class one of her favorite classes. She put her book bag down at the side of the pod and was about to go in until someone taped her on the shoulder. Faith turned around and a mermaid with an extra eye. Faith wasn't scared of that, but she asked, “is there something I can help you with”? The mermaid said hi do you want to be friends” in a nervous voice. Faith was surprised it was her first friend. Faith said yes in an exited way. She pushed the History pod door while holding the mermaid's armUntil she stopped and said in joy “Omg I completely forgot what your name is?!” The mermaid mumbled “my name is Abby’’. It was almost History class. Faith saw the clock it was almost 10:00 AM! Faith ran while Abby followed behind her. 

Before she could sit down the ground started shaking. Rumble.... Rumble …. Rumble. Faith was confused until she remembered the story of the 10-tentacle spiked octopus. Faith shouted “RUN”! Every single mermaid swam out of the pod except Faith and Abby. Abby cried “how come were not running?!” Faith said Ive been waiting to fight this octopus and we can do it together.” Faith pulled her rainbow sword from her hands. “You have superpowers”!!! Shouted Abby. Yes, I do I'm from the royal family said Faith. Suddenly Abby’s third eye glowed. You have superpowers to! Shouted Faith. The pod began to crumble. Faith and Abby swam up in one of the holes in the roof and saw the 10-tentacle spiked octopus. Faith began to charge she tried to hit it, but the octopus hit back. Abby didn’t know what to do until a laser shot out of Abbys third eye. The laser hit the octopus's eye. That’s when Faith hit the octopus in the head with the sword. The octopus was almost down but they needed one more hit. They thought an idea. Then they thought an idea. Abby lasered Faith’s sword and held it together. They swam as fast as they could and BOOM!!!! The octopus exploded into gold. Faith and Abby collected many pieces of gold and lived happy ever after. The lesson is if you work together you will get rewarded. 

 

Dec 15th, 2020 

           Me and my brother were playing a video game when suddenly we got sucked in the TV screen. We were at the tittle of the screen and were suited up like robots. We didn’t know what to do so we hit play.  We saw this lady called Professor Lilly. She was our starter trainer. She told us to fight of the evil monsters and creatures and we needed to have enough strength to fight. 10 min later we were ready to fight. We punched kicked shot blast and stomp. We won and gained xp (experience points). We fought and fought and fought until the boss came. He was Big like a cave mightier than a dragon and had red glowing beaming eyes. He was a lava dragon dinosaur. We sliced out our swords and begun. We sliced blast punched and kicked. He tumbled down like a hill crumbling and we won. Finally, we were back home Breathing heavily and gasping. 

2/9/21                                                    Lonely 

                                           “Wilbur didn’t want food, he wanted love.” 

                                           _ E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web 

 

It was the year of sixth grade. The ground was smooth, lit up, dance floor. There is a big, long, table with a white tablecloth. On the table there was a huge, silver, tray of cupcakes. There was a ginormous, bright, disco ball. My name is Charlotte and there was going to be a school dance. 

It was a bright sunny morning. I had just got out of bed to get breakfast. After breakfast I ride my bike to school, but since I live on a hill and had no gears on my bike, I had wasted my energy and almost got to school late. After greeting my teacher Miss Marks, I went back to my deck but when I sat down my chair broke. Everyone laughed at me. My teacher gave me the chair in the back, but I was still embarrassed.  

The next day at school the school bully pushed me off the playground and hurt my knee. I went to the school nurse and got a band aidAfter getting a band aid I walked to class. During class the principle a nounized that the sixth grade must help set up the school dance after school. After school I saw James. A boy who I wanted to go to the dance with. I asked and he said yes. I was happy. 

Today was the day of the dance. I wore my sea green dress. I went to the school and it was all so pretty I thought I was hallucinating. I saw James and went to him. When I asked him to dance, another girl came and said do you want to dance. He said he wanted to go with her and not me. I couldn’t believe what I heard. I went to the snack table and cried. I felt deserted. I was heading for the door but then my friends came over and asked if I wanted to dance since their dates blew them off too. We all had a good day together. 

 

 

Once upon a time was a fox. The fox lived in the peaceful place in the forist until one day... wolfs romed the forist. They were very mean to the animals. And when they met the fox they thout that the fox just a joke so they hurt her.  

And she was furious and angry. She challeged the wolf to a fight. She said that if she won the wolfs would have to leave the forist for good.The wolf said if the wolf won he would get to make her a slave. 

The next day they were ready to fight. The fox and the wolf faut until the fox pind the wolf and the fox was a hero to all the animals and live happily ever after. 

 The moral is to never jump to conclusions.

                                               The Haunted  house 

  The ground is covered under a huge gray puffy fog. There is a rusty old gate. Next to the gate there are big black bats. There is a gicantic bolt of a bight srike of lighting. There are reseling noses in the house. 

It was halloween night. I was with my friend. We were slowly going to the door. I herd eerie sounds as I went closer to the house. The door was made out of roten wood. I saw slash marks on the door. I saw something dash right passed us. I let out a little scream. 

We were at the front door. There was a cold brees. There was a howl in the wind. AhooooooThe door was almost going to brake. 

I was opening the door. It made creking noises. We were walking in the house when we heard a groan. It moand get out, but we sayed inside. We were going up stares when the door slamed shut. We tried to open the door but it stade shut.  

We then heard foot steps. My friend Isabella was scared. She wisperd to me. ‘’ We need to go hide.’’ We hid under the tabel. We were both scared. We then saw twins in black. They saw us and said at the same time’’ come and play with us.’’ We ran upstares when, we saw a ghost! 

We kept on runing but we kept seing monsters. We relised there is no way out. We then came to a wall. It was panted yellow but the pant was torn.There was a closet, but we couldn’t stay forever. They broke in and we were in trouble. They were to get us! We had to escape. I then saw a window and a rope. We ran through the monsters and we didn’t make it. They caried us to the basment. We tried to call for help but it was no use. 

They then put us down. They look like they were angry. I saw there was a back door. I sliped out of the thing they put us in. I got Isabellout and went outside. We were free Isabella cried! I learned to go in a hauted house.

The underwater school 

Down deep below the ocean there are strange mysterious fish and murky water. The water is a dark blue color and there is long sea kelp that rises all the way up from the ocean floor and touches the surface like an underwater forest. You can see large scaly fish and big gray whales. Near the surface the water is bright light blue color and there are huge bubbly waves. 

Marina was standing on the shore. Nervous and yet excited as she was invited to attend the underwater prestigious, Outer Banks University for Crustaceans and FishShe had sky blue eyes, wavey dark brown hair, and golden-brown tanned skin. She was the only human invited to attend this special underwater school. She was so excited to participate in this new learning environment. She was also very nervous as she was swimming toward her pod. Would the other fishies be friendly? Would they except her because she is different?   

She finely got to her pod and climbed inside. There were many buttons on the dash. There were buttons that make the pod go up and down and side to side. Buttons for lights and so much more. Marina pushed the green button and she started going down below the ocean. She soon arrived at the school and there were clown fish, tuna, sharks, and so much more! Marina found her classroom. She was greeted by her new teacher, MisClaws. She was a lobster teacher. She was very kind and showed Marina where to sit her pod. 

 During recess she ran into a few fish from her class. They were very welcoming and kind. They all wanted to be her friend. There was Tammy Tuna, Dory Dolphin, Rocky Rockfish, Annie AnchovyMichael Minnow, and Pranks the clown fish. They all got together after classThey took Marina all around the outer reefs to show her where they all live and play. She then learned how friendly and peaceful fish can be and spent the rest of her life educating others about the beautiful creatures living beneath the ocean surface.

Lonely 

'It is lonely when you’re among people, too,' said the snake.” 

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince 

There were` colorful blue and purple confetti on the ground, sweet red punch, and “20” different types of snacks at the tables there are Cheetos, pretzels, Fritos, and many more. Huge purple and blue balloons taped to the walls. A shimmery ginormous disco ball was up high on the ceiling. There were people dancing everywhere. There where teachers chaperoning but also dancing and having a blast. 

I was the new girl in school, and I was at the best 4th grade school party of the year. My favorite song played I was so excited I jumped to the dance floor and danced my heart out. I was so into the song that I didn’t know what I was doing, next thing I know I fell into the snack and drink table. Everyone was laughing at me and I felt so embarrassed I hid in a corner and called my mom. I forgot that my mom had work that night until 11:00 which is when the dance ended, so the whole night I stayed in the corner. 

I felt so alone my mom wasn’t answering and I was too embarrassed to get out of the corner. I was stuck. Finally, at the end of the dance my mom picked me up. I didn’t talk the whole car ride. My mom asked me how the dance was I said nothing. When I got home, I ran to my room. The gray rough carpet touched my feet I plopped on my light pink bed I turned to the side and looked at my big yellow posters I turned to the ceiling and saw my silver white fan. 

After I looked at my ceiling for a half an hour, I fell asleep. my mom brought me breakfast to my room in the morning. She asked me what was wrong I didn’t say anything. Then she said I had a visitor I was very confused cause I didn’t invite anyone over. It was Leila a girl in my class I was even more confused because she doesn’t even know me. Hi Christina, its Leila she whispered because she knew what happened at the school party. I whispered back hi, she started talking and told me a time when she was embarrassed. We talked and laughed we had become very good friends. 

The next day we walked to school together. When I walked through school. I was not alone any more or embarrassed because I had a friend to help me whenever I was embarrassed, sad or lonely. The lesson is there is always a person to put that frown upside down.

The next morning, she got up looked for her father on the map and told him her journey,

Haunted House 

There is dead yellow grass with ginormous jumping red spotted spiders and crinkled tumble weeds rolling with the wind. Dark brown trees are crumbling to the ground, an old rusty fence with pitch black crows are surrounding a tall leaning houseA girl that looks 9 years old is in a pink dress at the window. There is a full bright white moon tonight and gray fog almost covering it. 

It is 9pm at night and I am camping with a few of my friends. We all said, not it”! to see who would go get firewood. I lost, so I had to get it, while I was walking into the woods, I saw this abandoned house it made me curious. I was about to check it out, but my friends called me back, so I went back to the camping sight. I did not tell them about the abandoned house, and it bothered me all night. When everyone was asleep, I took a flashlight and went back to that abandoned house I was scared but I had the urge to go. 

I was at the front door; it was made from glass that looks to be at least 50 years old. The right window was broken but the left had a girl looking out of itI rubbed my eyes I looked again the girl was gone and all sudden the door creaked open. 

I walked into the house the floors were dusty there were spider webs all over the ceiling. opened a cupboard and bats flew out the kitchen is filled with spiders. I went upstairs and there was 4 bedrooms 5 bathrooms and a lot of food in this huge master roomGlass doors was in the master room, so I went in to eat a little bit and suddenly the doors locked. since there are glass doors, I saw the girl running downstairs out the door towards the camping sight. 

She did not look like herself when she was running, towards the camping sight she looked like me. An hour later the girl came back and slid a note under the door the note said, I have been stuck in this house for 100 years the only I could get out is if someone came in so now, I am stealing your identity have fun. I was scared and worried what will she do with my identity. 

5 years later she came back and said thanks. she let me go and I went to the nearest bus stop to home I knocked on the door and my family was not there. There is a different family living there now. so, I had to sleep on a bus bench in the morning I went to school and everybody hated me I was alone and then I realized how the girl felt. So, I went back to her and I said I know how you feel. No one likes you because you are a ghost in a haunted house. But I am not a ghost yet. so, can you please tell were my family is and how to make up with my friends she said in tears ok thank you for understanding me. She told me everything, so I made up with my friend I found my family and every Saturday I visit the girl, so she is not alone. I learned to not judge a girl by her cover.

     Underwater Adventure 

 

 In the ocean, brown rough sand with green wavey seaweed and pink coral reefs are on the ground. Purple octopus and white fierce sharks are roaming around pitch black water. Small orange clownfish and silver gray fish are terrified of the sharks in the dark blue waters. Happy dolphins are jumping up in the sky to the surface which the water is as clear as glass. The clouds are as fluffy as marshmallows, the sun is so bright it is blinding. 

It is the first day of summer Kayla is so excited for underwater school. She packed her bag a week before Kyla rushes her mom out the door into the carWhen they got there Kayla rushed to the water and there was a lifeguard that showed her to underwater school. Kayla is nervous and excited. Kayla is excited because she gets to explore underwater. Kayla’s nervous because there are no humans except for her, and she is scared 

Kayla saw the pod it was amazing the pod was gold with seaweed all around it. Kayla stopped thinking about that she was the only humanKayla swam to the pod as fast as she could. Kayla opened the door, inside were all these buttons that made it move. They are colorful the red one moves the pod, the blue one gives you food, and the yellow one gives you a beverage.  

A lobster is Kayla’s teacher, and her name is Mrs. Lobchester her husband is the assistant teacher Mr. Lobchester. Mr. and Mrs. Lobchester are both very nice. One thing they both are very clumsy. Mrs. Lobchester dropped 12 seashells that we were going to study. Mrs. Lobchester sent me and this fish name molly to go get them Mr. Lobchester gave us a flashlight, but he dropped it. Molly had an extra flashlight, so they used hers. As they were going down to the dark ocean floor Kayla and molly bonded over movies, colors, and surprisingly snacks. 

They got to the ocean floor Molly had a spare flashlight and she handed it to Kayla. Molly said we should go right but Kayla said no we should go left. They argued for 10 minutes. Then they separated Kayla went left and Molly went right. As Molly was swimming, she mumbled to herself I will get the seashells and the flashlight first, Kayla mumbled to herself I will get them first 

Then Kayla froze she saw all the beautiful coral reefs, sea creatures, and not so beautiful seaweed but Kayla was amazed of the ocean. Kayla and Molly heard something behind them. Molly screamed; Kayla screamed they both said SHARK! Kayla was being chased by a huge grey shark and Molly was being chased by a fierce white shark. Molly hid behind pink coral reefs and Kayla hid behind the same pink coral reefs they saw each other and apologized.  

As they were going up to the class Kayla said even though we did not find the seashells I am glad Mrs. Lobchester dropped the seashells because now we are friends. Kayla said but you still went the wrong way, but I forgive you they both laughed. The lesson is don’t leave your friends.

A dog point of view 

Hi, I am a dog, and people always wonder what I do so I am going to tell you my daily routine. I wake up every morning about 6:00 and I feel fresh. My owners come out and play with me for about 2:00. Then the girl owner that is nine years old who is my favorite goes to her room to do work. After that she feeds me breakfast most of the time it is tripe and I love tripe and then she goes to school on this weird looking device called a Chromebook. For about 2 and a half hours then when she is done, we go outside in the backyard and play. Then she tries to catch me, but I am too fast for her, so I feel bad during the end I let her catch me. I eat dinner which is sometimes chicken. When I am done eating, she brings me to the couch and puts me on her lap I curl up in a ball and sleep. She puts me in my bed and the next morning is a new day. That is my daily routine.

“Christopher didn't want food, he wanted love.”  

 

There was a school that had a party. There was bown wooden floors that creaked a lot. At the party there was juicy, tasty fruit bowls and soft fluffy Bing bag chairs. There was a huge freezing ice sculpture. On the roof there was a big shiny disco ballThe lights flickered and there was a lot of noise with a lot of colorful lights too. 

 

There was a school dance so I half to go. I went down the street the black rode has some holes and a lot of cracks. The crows that look like coal are on the tall brown telephone poles or the bare trees. I am at the school and it is made of bricks and a big bell at the top. If you go inside there are a substantial number of lockers with long hallways. I went into the cafeteria where there was the school dance!  

 

The dance was huge and a bunch of lights where on the ceiling. I went into the roaring crowd and started to talk to people I stumbled on my all my words a lotEveryone was giggling at me and saying, “Why do go keep stumbling on your words” or “learn how to speak.” The dance was boring, and most people ignored me or made fun of me for stumbling on my words. After the long party I sprinted home when I got home, I saw my sister and she gave me one of her rainbow lollypopsAs my sister and I eat are lollypops I know I am not lonely anymore 

 

 

One day a boy went into the woods alone his name was Chris. He had ripped jeans and a white shirt and cool shoes and the most important part he is a very nice boy. He came upon a black cat, and it looked at him.  The cat was talking, and said “How are you? if you are nice can you come with me” Chris thought about and wanted to be nice, so he saiyes”!. Walking with the black cat he says, where are we going?” the cat says “we are going to a cave” he saw the cave the cat was talking about and he went in it. Then the evil cat closed the opening to the cave.  

The cat trapped him in the caveChris saw through a crack that it was not a cat at all it was an evil wizard. After two seconds the wizard diapered the only thing, he can do is explore the cave and see what was in it maybe an exit. He walked for hours and did not see light but then he saw a little bit of light and it got brighter and brighter, but it was not an exit it looked like a very old room from the past. Then he saw an ark way he touched it then a blue dot then it got bigger it was a portal it was pulling him in to somewhere else. 

 

He woke up in somewhere the trees where blue and the green, red, and blue. He started to walk and each step the animals got weirder and weirder he saw a deer with four antlers with red skin that was so small, but he kept walking. He saw a little town and a palsieso he walked toward the town and went into the palsies but the guards got him and bring him to a room to question him he said everything from earth that he knows and told him that how he got here and can get home but the guards said that he cannot get home. The guards and the people in the city helped him live and they lived happily ever after

Haunted House  

A town has a very haunted house that looks like it is empty. There are so many Big bugs that are all different colors. There is a wood fence that is very broken, and it looks like it will fall. There was a dry dead bush that is very big and a full moon, and the sky is pitch black. Look in the window there will be a thing that has big red eyes and a thousand teeth that are super sharp. One very important rule is that do not go into the house because the things that go in never come out.  

How I got here was in the afternoon I looked in its widows and I started to walk it was like it was pulling me. I was walking right into the door it open and the creek was so loud that I can’t hear any more. I felt that people are pushing me into the house, but no one was there I was so scared that the only thing that I can move is my eyes. I looked around there is the thing in the window it looked at me in the eyes with his sharp teeth I think that I will be eaten I know I was not safe. 

I am at the door frame I want to go away from the house, but I can’t move so I walked in slowly. I start to get a whiff of the thing it smelled like it has not showered in weeks and I heard the cries of every one that came into this house. When I was in the house, I was free from the thing that was pushing me then the door closed I looked at the door and it was very broken, and a lot of bugs are in there then I felt the door I think I almost got a splinter. The taste of the air was like ash the floor was creaking everywhere then I had a thought how do I get out. 

I think the monster thing is not here yet I want to get out of this house, but I had to be careful it could be anywhere. I tried to get out but there were no doors and there were no windows it felt like I was in a dream I looked right there was a table that looked like it was very old and a broken vase that is very dusty. When I looked to the left there was a fireplace that I can fit in and I think that the taste of ash and right next to looked like a big dog bed for the thing. I took one step forward and then he saw a hammer that I can break the door down, but the thing was right next to it. I ran to the hammer and I got then I went to the door and I destroyed the door but then the thing woke up and I ran outside, and the thing ran after me when it got outside it tuned to dust. My lesson of the story is that sometimes you just need to run away.

The Ocean      

In the ocean many worlds exist. At the bottom of the ocean, there can be a plain landscape of sand and rocks. Further away the floor can have many different plants and animals that existAt the next level of the ocean there are big blue whales and a lot of sharp tooth sharks that travel in packs that look like a giant school of fish. The next level there are fish that are so cool to look at and so many different color animals that are super friendly. Finally, at the surface the water is shiny and still and there are big white birds that are high in the sky 

 Chris is going to school, but he is not a fish, he is a personChirs’s mode of traveling under water is by using pod that looks like a big sphere that dives into the sea with two propellers. Chris’s pod has a lunch box, a water bottle, and a desk for school. It has advanced technology so Chris can navigate the big ocean. Chris’s pod is a home away from home.  

Chris has a lobster teacher she is the biggest lobster in the coral reef she teaches us about the ocean and everything in it. Her name is Ms. Clara she has bright red skin and her right arm is bigger than her leftSometimes she will bring a random class pet like a puffer fish or a small crab and every class pet it is better than the last pet Ms. Clara brought. Every month Ms. Clara would make us go on a field trip and she would take us to an underwater volcano that has a lot of sea life. Every day before we leave school Ms. Clara gives us a math problem and if we get it right, we get a sticker. 

At school the only friends you can make are fish, but some fish are super friendly, and some are mean and rude to Chris. Some fish do not like that I am a human and not a fish but some fish like that Chris is a human. Chris’s fish friends are two dory fish, one puffer fish, three crabs, and five clown fish.  Chris’s fish friends like to play games like hide and seek in the reef and we like to go to the other fish’s houses. Chris’s friends are awesome, and they are the best friends in the big blue sea.  

Today it was Friday, and we did not have school, so Chris went to his friend's house, but no one was then Chris went to school, but no one was there not even the teacher. Chirs looked all over the coral reef but there were no fish then he looked in the big coral and he found a letter. That had a clue where they are at. They are at the cave Chris rushed to the caves and he found them surrounded by sharks. So, he beat the sharks up and got Chris’s friends back and every fish in the reef, so Chris was the reef hero. Sometimes you must help a lot of people or fish so you can be a hero.

In a Video game  

 

A lot of games have people or things that you can control using your remote control, but did you ever think that those things thing that you control are real. They don’t like when you kill them for fun and when they get mad the game begins to glitch. A glitch is bad for the thing you are controlling but it’s fine for you then you half to reset but it will clear the things mind.

Lonely 

'It is lonely when you’re among people, too,' said the snake.” 

 

There is a huge crystal disco ball, colorful balloons, Long white tables with Mutiple snacks, some paper-like streamers and giant black loudspeakers for music. I was at my house and my friend told me to go to party that he was going to, so, I left my house. I was walking to the party at what I thought was the right time.  

I got to the doors I saw the white posters and it said it was in 1 Hour but the door was open so I went inside and waited, some how I managed to wait for an hour and still no one came, I did not see that it said 1hr and 10 min, I went back to my house and waited some more until I thought I waited long enough and I went back to where the party was, everyone was already leaving. I went inside, I asked when the party started, it started 10 mins after I had left. I went inside and I felt sad and lonely, every single party I go to, of all of them I come late and and if I am lucky, to get there on time. After all the times I am have been late, I was never late to another again to another party or late to anything ever again. 

          

             Once upon a time, there were two animals named Jackal Coyote, they were friends. They had something in common, like they both loved to go on adventures. Everything always went smoothlyThey never got into trouble. They did not know that this was the day, they were going to be trickedJackal & Coyote were in a jungle and they found a panther and he needed help. The two friends said to the panther, “do you need help”? He said yes, he does. They asked, how can I help you? He said can you steal some food from the grocery store? Okay, they said They were going to the store, not knowing that he said to steal. It was midnight when they got thereOnce they got to the back of the store, the back door was wide open. Then they went inside and stole some food. When they got back, they just noticed that they had stolen. They returned to the store and put everything back where the items were and ran back to the panther. They said we aren’t going to help you because you made us steal so... We are never going to come back to help you! 

The lesson is do not trust strangers and don’t steal. 

 

 Cole T 10/26/20                                                  A haunted house 

At ground level there is a pond and bullfrogs as big a baseballs and dirty and brown dust and sharp glass on the ground. There was a table and a flowerpot and lots of pottery and chairs and a gate that rotted away. At the head there is bats hanging upside down and floating lanterns with nothing holding it. In the air, there are flying bats and fog and clouds that are bigger than a car! It was a hot summer day in 2018, I heard that there was a haunted house not too far from the city, the house was starting to be built in the late 1700s only to be abandoned till now after it was finished in 1797. Before it was abandoned, this house once lived George Washington. When he died no one came back. The forest and its plants and animals took it over. We went to the house and at the front there was a piled and I tripped over it,” OW!” I uncovered it and I saw it was a pile of Muskets that were that were molded and rusted. I thought the house looked cool. I saw a sign that said, “Welcome to the 1st Presidents house” and that’s when it hit me the president George Washington once lived here. I ran back home and called my friends and my uncle who was a historian for Colonial times for the Britin and America. We drove his Humvee to the house, and we went to the house and we went inside but my uncle stayed outside to watch out for anything. Me and my friend went inside, "Wow!” I said to myself, this place is more than 200 years since this was seen. We HAD to explore! First, we went to the cellar and it was empty. Next, we went to the bedroom and we found a chest! It had 10 kg of gold inside and we went outside and dropped it into the bed of the hummer, and we went back in. Next, we went into the kitchen and that’s when something unbearable happened, we were looking, and I accidently flipped a switch and we fell, and I went unconcise 2 hours later I stood up and looked around my friend said are you ok? “yes” I told him that I saw a vent and went into the vent inside the vent, it was rusty and was super-hot but finally we got out and ran to my uncle he was in the car and then said hurry! I knew why their where skeletons trying to get us, so I jumped into the truck and then we drove as fast as we can! 

I learned never go to a house that is abandoned again and always check your surroundings and be careful.

 Underwater school 

In the clear blue ocean, the waves crash on the beach, the orange kelp floats in the water and the great smell of the fresh sea, cute sea otters on rocks crack open his food. Underneath the water, a pod of dolphins who playfully does underwater flips and jump out of the water. In the distance a huge whale and her calf swim and catch good krill to eat and seagulls that plunged under to catch fish to eat. A scary great white tries to find his prey with no luck. Colorful coral reef has a monetary swimming about harmlessly. An old sunken ship that the sea took over. In the Twighlight zone the animals get weirder and the water gets darker, a disgusting pink blobfish sits on a ledge staring off at the rock wall. At the midnight zone is dark and creepy, an abnormal giant squid swims slowly around. Mini eyeless shrimp float around and the only light source is an anglerfish's light and an amazing bioluminescence jelly fish swim’s by. 

A boy named Xavier is no ordinary kid he doesn’t go to school on land, he is going to school underwater and it is his first day. On his first day of school, he was walking with his mom and dad on the beach “bye mom and dad” he said, I am scared I am a human everyone at the school is a fish! You'll be late! Said his mom, he put on his diving gear and jumped in, bye! He said. He swam down. When he got to the front he took a deep breath then he opened the door and peeked in quickly closed it, he tried to swim up but he couldn’t and he hesitated and then the teacher said class is in 1 minute and 30 seconds. He went into the class and the teacher who was a lobster said “this is Xavier everyone” all the fish said hi The first lesson was about sharks the teacher read the book The sharks attack! He thought the book was cool but all the other students, every time the saw the shark, went crazy and hid under the desks! After the shark book they did math, reading and geography and California studies weekly and got free time and he made a friend named Paul, he was a pufferfish. The same day they were going on a field trip to the seaweed forest it was big and grand. The only thing we didn’t know is that many people & fish got lost.  An hour later and they got out and got to the school bus, that is when I noticed that my friend Paul was missing! I said to my teacher Mr. Claws and I said we should save him the teacher interrupted and said two word: you should. Ok? I guess I will find him. 

He went into the kelp forest and went around yelling at the top of his lungs and a moment later still he couldn’t find until he heard a fish screaming XAVIER!!!! I knew it was Paul. I found him and then when we were going back they got lost, we are lost! Xavier said and in a flash a sea horse came and said lily at your service” hello lily” said Xavier and Paul in chorus, what do you need? Can you please take us to the school? Said Xavier, ok she said and we finally made it! So far he was having a good day but something will happen that will be in his memory for years to come. When they were packing up to go home and then a army of shark attacked them. Xavier remembered that his grandpa got attacked and my grandpa got all of them, I told him to teach me. I came back to my senses and found a  butter knife and got almost all them until he couldn’t hold them and then he called the fish police, they handled them until the king shark came with his guards and then he said we will take all of fishki ,he stopped and fell in to dust Xavier took out the shark king, all his guard ran away. He was honored by the fish leader for taking out the king shark. 

He was tired but he had a awesome day and couldn’t wait to tell his mom and dad he helped all the fish!

I am a dog and my owners are nice people who gives me food when I need it. My favorite spot to sleep is underneath a tree and when I am good I get a back scratch, ahhh. Some times they bring me to big bear and I dig into the snow to try to find squirls he he! Even though I never find them. They bring a snowboard that they made for me so, I can go snowboarding with them, Woof Woof, bark bark! The first thing I do when I go back to my house is shake off all the left over water from the snow. Shake shake! I always have fun with my family WOOF! That’s the life of me!

Lonely 

It was a misty Monday morning at Mira Catalina in late June. It is dark and gloomy outside. The kind of day when I do not want to go out. No one is on campus. There is no light. There are no cars in the parking lot. It looks like a normal day, except no one is here. It’s supposed to be a normal party. It was a summer party.  

I had walked to school for the first time by myselfMy family lives about a third of a mile down the hill from school. Next, I open the door to the MPR and walked inside. The room was incredibly quiet and dark. Then, suddenly, all the doors locked. All I hear is barking in the distance 

I am reminded of a book I read last night: "'Where are the people?' said the little prince at last. 'It’s a little lonely in the desert…' Then I see a dog running toward me. I am frozen with freight. Then, I notice It’s wagging its tail and it is my dog “Bella. I am relieved. 

At least I am no longer alone. Bella leads me out of the building and back home. When we get home, my parents and my sister are sitting at the dinner table. They had not even noticed that I was gone or that Bella had come to get me. Loneliness is boring. I am glad to be back home with my family

 

 

The Dog and the Cat 

One day at a park a big, fluffy dog named Bella wanted to catch a black and white cat, named Rosie because the cat was very meanThe cat liketo tease the dog because it couldn’t climb trees. So, the dog called his friend, the wise owl to think of a way to get the cat down from the tree. The owl thought for a long time until he bumped into the brown beaver named Bob. The owl asked Bob the beaver, “Can you help me think of a way to get Rosie the cat down from the tree?” Bob the beaver said, “Oh, I can help you with that. I can cut down the tree with my saw.” So, Bob the beaver, the wise owl, and Bella the dog walked over to Rosie the cat. The cat ran up the tree. Rosie the cat teased Bella the dog again. So, the dog, and his friends, cut down the tree.  Rosie the cat fell hard. The cat apologized to Bella the dog and together they planted a new tree. Rosie the cat never teased Bella the dog again.  

 

The Haunted House 

 

At the ground there are green, slimy bugs. Under the bugs are puddles of deep, dark mud. Above the bugs are the remnants of an old, rusty fence. Further up there are many, many, broken windows. The small pieces of glass are scattered on the muddy ground. Up in the dark sky big, black bats are flying high above. It is very cold, but there is no rain in the forecast. It is Halloween night. A rat, the size of a cat, scurries by. The smell of too many cats is in the air. The sound of a cat crying echoes through the night. 

It is Halloween night my sister and I are trick or treating in the neighborhood. We stumble upon a sort of hidden house.  We walk through the gate. We see a black cat chasing a rat. The cat runs inside the house. That’s how we see that there is a small opening into the dark house. 

My sister and I follow the cat to the front door. The door is tall and made from wood. We want candy and say, “trick or treat?”  We smell rats and dirt coming from the floor of the house. We hear cats meowing. We see a big spider crawling on the floor. There is no light except for one flickering candle at the end of the hall. We enter the house and walk toward the candle.  

I see the door close. We run upstairs but it’s a dead end. We try to open the tall wood door. Its locked. We unlock it but it does not open. We see a zombie we run and run. Then itgone. We sweat buckets. We see the black cat. We catch the cat. We give the cat a little food we had in our pockets.  

We try to find an exit the cat meowing. It run away we go after itIt found a window jump out with the cat that how got our cat. If you see a house that looks weird don't go inside

Liz’s First Day of School 

It is a sunny day. Just below the surface of the ocean water is a school of striped, orange clownfishAs it gets a little darker there is a dense kelp forest and sea cucumbers. Sperm whales are swimming left and right and jumping to the surface to get air. Deep down on the bottom, about a thousand feet down, it is very dark, except the glimmer of light coming from a school. The school is made of glass that has a yellow tint. There are teachers that are big gray lobsters. One teacher is talking to a school of fish. There is yellow big airtight pod. A frightened girl is sitting in the pod.  

This is the first day of underwater school for Liz. Mrs. Lobster, the teacher, has a kind smile and greets Liz. She tells Liz to sit in the front row next to two clownfish. The two clownfish are reading a book. The book includes a writing prompt for a five-paragraph story. Liz is nervous. She has never written that much. The two clownfish help her by giving her ideas.  Liz begins to write. 

After the writing class is over, everyone swims out to the kelp yard. Mrs. Lobster has yard duty and bites into a large, red apple. Liz is playing with the two clownfish. Their names are Jenny and Ben. Thy are playing hide and seek in the kelp forest. 

When recess is over, everyone goes back inside. All of a sudden a loud bell rings. It is a shark alarm drill. Everyone goes under their desks and hide from the huge shark. Everyone is worried until Mrs. Lobster reminds the students that this is just their daily shark drill. Everyone goes back to their seats and continue to do their math problems. Liz is surprised that there is a daily shark drill. 

Now Mrs. Lobster finishes the math lesson. Liz hates math and she is glad when it is noon and she can go home. Before she leaves, she gives Jenny and Ben her phone number so that they can set up a play date for the weekend. Liz is happy that she made friends. She had a good first day.

                                 Lonely 

‘It is a little lonely when you’re among people, too,’ said the snake. 

- Antoine de Saint- ExuperyThe Little Prince 

 

In the busy hallway, shoes were noisy on the sleek, shiny, floor. The ground was cold and hard and was made with concrete. Plain, boring, backpacks were carrying big, heavy, textbooks. The girls were wearing black, long, skirts while the boys were wearing blue, striped, shorts. The serious, fancy, teachers were hanging up white, wordy sign-up sheets on the brown, brick, walls. The bright, gigantic lights were stuck in the long, tiled, ceiling.   

It was a bright summer morning, and I was having breakfast when I noticed something. My parents were staring at me and didn’t blink for a whole minute. So, I figured that something was going on. I asked, “What’s going on.” “Sweetie, we have something to tell you.” My mom looked at my dad then back to me, “You... have to go to a private school.”” What?!” I screamed. I shook my head, “No, it can’t be. Why do I have to transfer?” “It’s your school.” “My school?” I questioned. “You said that at your school you didn’t have a lot of friends so, with your dad’s new paying job... we just figured you would want to transfer to a better, nicer, school.” My parents worry a lot like this, so this wasn’t surprising. (Sigh) “Alright, I’ll try out this new school for a week and if I like it, I will stay but if I don’t, I will leave right away.” My parents agreed.  

It was the first day at my new private school and I was so nervous. I didn’t know anyone there; I didn’t know what any of the teachers were like! But I had to try. I walked to my locker with directions that the front office gave me. I put the books that I didn’t need in my locker and I strolled to my first class. When I sat down everyone stared at me, even the teacher! Then he said, “Welcome to Oak Hills Prep Academy, Haley.” “Thanks.” I responded. He showed me my seat and then he began with class. Class was a little boring, but it was also very educational. I was on my way back to my locker when I bumped into these two girls. (Bump) “Oh, sorry” I apologized. The two girls said, “It’s okay. We weren’t paying attention to where we were going. Oh, we didn’t introduce our selves.” Then one girl said, “I’m Mia.  And that’s Isabella, though everyone calls her Bella.” “Oh, I’m Haley. I’m new here. I didn’t exactly know where I was going so, I was looking down at my map.” “You know, you're pretty nice, we should hang out sometime.” Mia said.  

It was only my third day here Oak Hills Prep and I was already starting to like it. My friends started to help me fit in more, too. Friends meaning that Mia, Bella, and I were hanging out more. We were on our way over to English class when Bella got an amazing idea. “We should host a welcome sleepover party for Haley.” Sadly, we couldn’t text about it in class because the teacher took our cellphones. So instead, we decided to pass notes. I shared a desk with a kind of cute boy, his name was Logan. Usually, I would drool over Logan, but today I was passing notes in class. I wouldn’t normally do this, but this school has changed me. I wrote on a piece of paper, “What should we do at the party? I passed it to Mia who shrugged, then she passed it to Bella, who also shrugged. Bella passed it back to Mia who passed it back to me. But while she was handing it over Mr. Franklin (our English teacher) caught us. By the look on his face and the piercing look in his eyes, we knew to stomp over to the principal’s office.  

Our principal told us that we had to clean the bathrooms at the end of the day. Even the boy’s bathroomsThe good thing though about cleaning the bathrooms was that we were alone, and we could talk as much as we wanted, without passing notes or texting each otherSo, we talked about the sleepover. When we were done, we headed over to my house to plan the sleepover. Here is what we planned, we would eat pizza and chips, we would have sodas and water for drinks, and we would get makeovers, have pillow fights, and talk and dance all night long. The only thing we didn’t know was, who would we invite? 

Mia, Bella, and I began making invitations to all of Mia and Bella’s friends. My hands cramped occasionally, because they had a lot of friends. My parents agreed to have the sleepover if I only invited a fraction of Mia and Bella’s friends, so we did. It was this weekend that I was having the party; I was incredibly nervous. We had all the food, drinks, and activities ready to go for the sleepover. A few days later it was time, it was sleepover day!!!!! I had Bella and Mia come over early to help get things ready. At 5:30 pm everyone started coming over. As they arrived, I asked Bella, “Why are all these people here? I thought we agreed to only invite a few of your friends.” “This is a few” Bella replied. “Don’t worry. It will be ok. Your parents are out anyways.” 

Everything seemed to be going okay, until the dancing. I told Mia to turn down the volume of the music when we started dancing but she didn’t hear me. So, I asked Bella and she shook her head. Right when I was about to turn down the volume, my parents walked in. “What in the world is going on in here” my dad asked. The room was filled with people, food and drinks were trashed on the floor, and two very disappointed parents shook their heads at me. My parents told everyone to get out except Bella and Mia. My mom told us to clean up and that my friends could sleepover only because it was late. The room was full of silence. Until I broke the silence and said, “I told you to only invite a couple friends. I told you to turn down the volume on the music. But did you listen to me, no! You didn’t! And guess what happened.” They stared at me with blank faces. “My parents are so disappointed in me that they might never trust me again.” I know that they felt sorry but the fact that they didn’t listen hurt me a lot. Then I blurted out, “I don’t want friends that don’t listen to me!” They looked so hurt. I wish hadn’t said that. 

The rest of the night they completely ignored me when I tried to say sorry, but I deserved it. They talked all night when I was trying to go to sleep and get some rest for school was in the morning. They tried to annoy me all night. In the morning my mom drived us all to school. The car ride was silent. In gym class Mia and Bella ran with their other friends while I stayed in the back of the group. But someone else was back there with me. Her name was Abagail. She is nice, caring, and listened to what I said, unlike Mia and Bella. We began being friends and I even invited her to sleepover at my house a few times. I never talked to Bella and Mia again. But occasionally I looked over my shoulder at them and that they were staring my way, almost looking jealous. I stayed at Oak Hills Prep Academy, with my friend Abagail.  

 

Family Trip 

Once upon a time, there was this big happy family.  There was a mom, dad, older sister, and younger brother.  The sister’s name is Elena and is 15 years old and the brother’s name is Shane and is 10 years old.  The family was eating breakfast when Elena got an idea!  “How about we go on a family trip” she suggested.  Mom and Dad nodded, and Shane responded, "That sounds awesome! Can we, can we, can we, can we, please”.  Then mom asked,” Of coursebut where would we go.”  They went to look at a map Then they found the perfect place.  The family packed up some suitcases and hopped in the car and went to the place.  When they got there, they were stunned. There were beautiful cabins and a barn full of horses.   

The first thing Shane and Elena wanted to do was go check out the horses.  While mom and dad went to check in, get the key to the cabin, and unpack, Shane and Elena looked at the horses.  When they were looking around the barn they bumped into the owner of the place.  His name was Jack.  He said,” How about instead of looking at the horse you ride them.” “You can ride them, that’s awesome!  Can we go pick out our horses please?” asked Elena and Shane.  Jack nodded and told them to go look at all the horses while he told their parents where they were going.  Elena and Shane picked out the horses, groomed, tacked up, and started ahead on the trail.  When they were halfway through the trail, they saw something magnificent.  They saw a rare horse!  It was pure white and had black mane and tail.  It was just beautiful!  They could not stop looking at it, but then they saw that the horse was hurt. They told the horse to follow them and the horse listened.  When they made it back to the barn, they put a bandage around the cut and put some anointment on it. The horse said,” Thank you for helping me.  I was wandering around in the woods by myself and got attacked by a bear! I saw my whole life flash before my eyes.  I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself; my name is Aria who are you?”  

Elena answered for them,” I am Elena, that is Shane my little brother, and that is Jack he owns this ranch.”  Nice to meet you guys” Aria said then she thought for a minute, why go wandering in the woods when you can be in this cozy barn.  Then she asked Jack,” Do you think I could stay in this barn instead of living in the woods?”  Of course, wandering in the woods alone can lead to trouble.  And you can get hurt far worse then that cut” responded Jack.  So. Aria lived at the barn and Shane, Elena, Mom, and Dad all visited every summer, winter, and spring break.

                                                The Old Town House by the Cemetery 

At the old town house by the cemetery, dead, ashy, grass blows with the wind as the crispy, brown, tumbleweeds roll by.  The gray wolf covered with snow, snarled but then smiled.  A rusty, old, wooden fence creaks.  Big, black, bats fly by.  A fog covers the bright blue moon as it faintly shines on the white, worn out, carriage.  Some rotten, broken, branches cover a cold skeleton of a horse.  Through the broken window, there is a glass chandelier that hangs down from the black, wooden, ceiling.  In the house was a faint white ghost who ran away out of the house and right through the fence then into the woods.   

It was Halloween day when I decided to go to my best friend's Halloween party, but then it felt like someone was pushing me towards the old town house by the cemetery.  There are legends that in the cemetery and in the old town house a young girl died there a mysterious death and her ghost still lurks in the shadows waiting for her next victim.  She has been waiting to get revenge on the person who killed her for centuries.  As I was pushed to the town house, it felt like someone was forcing me with their hands.  Then looked around, terrified, as I saw a mysterious white figure enter the house, who I thought was the young girl in the legends.  The hands that were forcing me to the house stopped when I was at the wooden fence that led up the driveway then to the front door. I warily started walking up to the front door very curious but cautious. The wolf covered with snow had started following me.  As we made it to the house the sky that was a dark blue darkened to a black as it was midnight. 

The old stone house was dirty and covered with cobwebs.  The old wooden door opened by itself after I knocked.  I couldn’t see a thing, but then, somebody grabs my arms and pulls me into the house!  As I was in the house all I heard was scurrying of mice (scurry scurry), scratching on a wall when no one was there (scratchyscratchy), and a black figure right in front of me, my height, looked my age, a girl, and her eyes were as blue as the sky and ocean.  “Why hello Ava”, the girl said creepily, and somehow, she knew my name! Then I asked hesitantly,” Wh-Who are you and how do you know m-my name?” “I am Mary, and I am the girl who died here centuries ago, and now I am out for revenge” Mary replied.  slowly started stepping back but then started walking forward toward Mary because I was too curious to back out Mary gave me a tour of the house, shared the history of the house, and said that she is the keeper of the house and whoever she doesn’t like comes in the house never leaves.  Then dies. 

Mary and I walked outside as I was going to my house at 1:00 A.M.  My best friend Clair called me,” WHERE ARE YOU AVA?” she screamed in the phone. “You won’t believe this, but I met a ghost, and I am at the old town house.  You have to come over right now!” I replied.  I smelled something like a pumpkin, then I looked down at my wolf friend and he apparently got a hold of a pumpkin.  He looked at me with his cute face innocently.  I looked up from him when I heard the crunching of gravel under footsteps.  It was Clair!  Mary looked at Clair suspiciously for a reason I don’t know. “I feel like I know her, but I don’t remember where or when or why. “Mary stated.  Clair came up to us and smiled.  Clair asked,” Umm, is that the ghost you talked about over the phone. What is her name.”?  “She is Mary” I said.  “YOU!” Mary shouted!  “Your great -great -great -great -great -great- great-great-great-grandfather was the one who killed me, and I am out for REVENGE!!!!!” Mary super-shouted angrily.  OMG, I thought, MY BEST FRIEND AND MY GHOST FRIEND ARE FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!  When Mary shouted, all the windows broke.  Rumble, rumble, rumble, what is happening I thought!  “What is going on?” I asked.  Mary and Clair replied at the same time, "I think it is an earthquake.”  They glared at each other.  The earthquake had stopped.  But then 5 minutes later, RUMBLE RUMBLE, a huge aftershock happened!  I lost my balance and fell unconscious as I hit a rock.  Everything went black.  

 I felt Clair and Mary touch me and I also heard the ambulance.  Being able to wake up I saw Mary run away into the house and never came back out.  When I was in the hospital Clair the doctor came in the room and said, "Well, I have bad news and good news.  What would you like to hear first, Ava?”  I answered, "Bad news.”  Ok then, the bad news is you sprained your ankle.  The good news is you can go home in three days, but you always must have someone be there for you. Alright?” he replied. I just nodded.  School was starting tomorrow, and I would have to be walking around in crutches all day!  It was three weeks later, and I was driving to the doctors to get my cast off. “Am I healed?” I asked Dr. Smith.  Dr. Smith replied, "Yes you can get your cast off, but you still have to take it easy.”  “Ok”.  After that I hiked up to the cemetery to see if Mary would be there, but she wasn’t, so I went to the old town house and BINGO! Mary was sitting by the wolf I named Fang.  “Why did you run away?” I asked.  “Because... I made the earthquake happen! I am the reason you had the sprained ankle, OK, it was all my fault. Just leave me alone.” she screamed.  “It was all your fault” I echoed.  “Yes” “I have an idea. Come with me” I said.  “Fine” Mary replied, standing up.  We went over to Clair’s house.  Mary rolled her eyes when she saw Clair.   Clair asked, "Why are you so mad at my family?” “Because like I said, your relative killed me on purpose. I am dead just because I stole something from him.” Clair replied,” What did you steal from him? Did you steal a necklace from him”? “Yeah, I didn’t know it was that special until I had already died. I wouldn’t have stolen it if I knew it was special.” Mary declared.  Well now I know why he was so mad. Now I am mad too, so you’re gonna get it again it again. I am going to make your life miserable.” Clair said angrily.   

         We all went home after that argument and Mary came to my house the next morning.  “I am leaving town” she blurted out.  “Why”? I asked.  “Because I have to. It is for my own good. I don’t want to live the rest of my life miserable.” she responded.  “So, you’re going to leave me?” I shouted.  Mary replied, "I guess I am. You have been a great friend.  Bye.”  Tears were streaming down my face.  I rushed over to Clair’s house and screamed in her face, "You are an awful friend! I am never talking to you again. You made Mary leave town because you threatened to make her life miserable.” “What are you talking about” she asked. “You heard me. She left.” Then I stormed off.  Me and Clair never talked again, and Mary never came back.   

Lesson: Never leave when things get tough.

                                     The Underwater School  

The black, puffy ink that shoots from a squid moves with the dark, blue water.  Small, silver fish go into the cracks of the ocean floor.  Ominous, glowing starfish stick to the beautiful coral reefs.  Solid, colorful shells are hard to find in the ocean when the purple, wavy sea anemones are covering them.  Pink, scraggly jelly fish roam with the gray razor-toothed sharks.  Bright, orange garibaldis hide in the green, swaying kelp, when the dolphins splash in the water after jumping and twirling.  Green, sea turtles move slowly with the white, crashing waves.  Grayish black, cormorants play while the bright, burning sun is shining on them.  People pull out their cameras to take pictures at the sight of a brown, furry sea otter.  Kids at the beach swim in the salty, ocean water.   

Gracie was so excited to go to the beach with her BFF Bella.  Bella and Gracie met up at the beach.  As they put their swimming flippers and snorkeling gear on, Gracie said, "I can’t wait to see the turtles, fish, jelly fish, coral reefs, dolphins, crabs, and rare shells. Bella rolled her eyes playfully.  When they dived in the sea, you could see how happy they were.  They saw some fish hide in the seaweed when the girls swam by, as the fish were scared.  Gracie and Bella’s eyes were as wide as saucers when turtles and dolphins swam up next to them.  The dolphins were so friendly that they let the girls hold onto their fins.  Bella’s face was as curious as a horse because the dolphins were leading them to a special place.  When they arrived at the place the girls were amazed at the sights they saw.  They saw a lobster in a classroom writing on a big seaweed board with a hard shell as a pen.  Dolphins, fish, whales and all other sorts of sea creatures were students as they filled the room.  

“Why hello unknown creatures,” the lobster teacher said.  “What do we owe the pleasure of your acquaintance?”  Gracie and Bella didn’t know they could breathe underwater until Bella blurted out,We were exploring the ocean then the dolphins led us here.”  Bella and Gracie exchanged astonished looks.  They knew they were thinking the same thing, how were they able to talk underwater?  “You are probably wondering how you are able to speak in water” and somehow the lobster knew what they were thinking too!  “You are able to breathe under the water because in this reef the water is special,” the lobster saidYou cannot tell anyone about this adventure.  By the way, my name is Mr. Larry, and you can visit us or join our school any time.”  The girls smiled at the thought of being in a school in the summer with sea creatures as students.  They left thinking about the summer ahead of them.  

When the girls met up at the place where they usually meet, they found a note on a rock that said, Please go to the pier I think you will find something very useful there.”  Gracie and Bella were very confused, but they went anyway.  When they arrived at the pier, they found an underwater pod waiting for them!  They were so excited to go in it.  “Why hello there, Gracie and Bella.” the fish in the suit said with a British accent.  They were stunned, but they got in the pod because they loved the thought of doing school with fish.  On the ride to the school, they driver of the pod, had an assistant fish that would bring the girls drinks, food, and anything that would make them as comfortable as they wanted.  The fish in the pod were super nice.  They arrived at the reef where the school was, and they saw Mr. Larry and all the other sea creatures they saw the day before.  Mr. Larry asked Gracie to take a book from the rock and take a seat on the shell, then asked Bella to follow.  Thannggggg!  “Ow” Bella exclaimed.  Gracie asked her,” What was that?” as they looked at Mr. Larry who was standing by a huge shell holding a narwhal horn.  They were guessing that Mr. Larry hit the shell with the horn saying it was time to take a break.  The girls told the fish driver to take them outside to the coral reef to play with the animals.  The fish did just that.  Gracie and Bella put on their bathing suits and went outside the pod to play.  All the sea creatures went up in the girls faces asking them questions about where they’re from, what the pod is, and asking if they wanted to play with them.  Obviously, they said yes.  The dolphins taught the girls how to jump up in the air from water, the turtles taught them how to move with the waves, which the dolphins were making, and the fish were just being so friendly to them.  They had such a great day that they never wanted to leave. 

But sadly, the time came to say goodbye.  They said goodbye and started off.  Gracie saw that Bella looked guilty for something, but she didn’t want to ask why at that moment, so she waited to ask.  Bella got in the pod and Gracie followed.  There was an awkward silence between the two, until Bella blurted out, “I can’t go to underwater school tomorrow!” “Why not?” Gracie asked.  “Because I ... I have a family bonding thing and it’s going to interfere with underwater school,” Bella said, sadly.  “Well, don’t go for school go for me” Gracie looked at Bella desperately.  “I-I I have to go Gracie. I must. Bella and Gracie glared at each other for quite some time until they arrived at the pier.  When they got out, they went in separate directions.           

It had been a week and Bella still hadn’t been at school!  Gracie stomped up to Bella’s house and angrily rang the doorbell.  She waited and waited, then Bella opened the door warily as she knew who it was.  “WHY HAVEN’T YOU BEEN AT SCHOOL FOR THE PAST WEEK!”  Gracie shouted in Bella’s face, “I told you, I had family stuff,” Bella scoffed.  Gracie huffed, “Yeah, for a whole week I doubt that!” Bella looked down at her feet and mumbled, “I kind of did.”  Then she looked up and looked Gracie right in the eye and said, “We will still have time to do stuff together.”  There was a moment of silence.  Gracie broke the silence,” I’ll tell Mr. Larry that you're not coming today.”  Gracie left to go to the pier.  Bella closed the door with guilt.  When Gracie got to the pier she hopped in the pod and the fish who was assisting the driver asked, “What is wrong?”  “Nothing” Gracie said, under her breath.  When she entered the reef, Mr. Larry said, “Hello.  Then he asked, “Where is Bella?”  “She’s not coming” Gracie grumbled.  He sighed.  “Let’s get started, shall we.  Everyone take your seats and pull out your books.   After you have everything you need, look at the board.” Mr. Larry instructed.  When Mr. Larry announced it was time to play, Bella arrived at the reef!   

“I have to tell you something!” Bella exclaimed.  Bella didn’t even wait for Gracie to answer, she just shouted, “I didn’t really have a family thing all week, I had homework.”  Gracie asked, “I don’t understand, it’s summer, we don’t have homework.” “I know it’s confusing, but I was falling behind in math this year and I was too embarrassed to tell you about it. I had to study for a test so I wouldn’t have to take summer school” Bella admitted.  Gracie said comfortably, “Oh Bella, I would never make fun of you just because you had homework Yeah, sure I was disappointed that you weren’t there the past week, but that is so much more important than underwater school.  Come here.” They hugged.  After that they were the best of friends, and they were always there for each other.  The rest of the summer went great.  Underwater school was a blast.  Gracie and Bella learned how to jump and twirl like dolphins, and Bella passed her test.  That summer was the greatest summer of their lives and they learned the true importance of friendship.   

Lesson:  Always tell the truth.

Once upon a time, it was the day before Christmas Eve and Santa was at the North Pole getting ready for the big journey ahead of him.  He and his elves were packing the presents in Santa’s sack.  While they were doing that, Mrs. Claus was baking cookies in the bakery.  Santa’s village was as big as a lake maybe even bigger. He had toy shops, tech stores, bakery's, and even a stable for the reindeer.  Santa has been around for as long as I can remember, which isn’t that long, but... you get the idea.  After the elves and Santa were done packing all the gifts, they met up with Mrs. Claus in the stable because she said to meet her there.  When they arrived, they were stunned.  All the reindeer had escaped!  They don’t know how it happened but without the reindeer, Santa had no one to pull his sleigh.  But then, he remembered something.  Ding!  Santa had an idea!  Last Christmas he had a friend help him with a Christmas disaster and he figured that she could help him again.  He called her and she said yes!  She came and helped find clues as to where the reindeer might have run off.  She found twigs that were broken in the Enchanted Forest.  There were also some hoof prints in the snow.  They found the reindeer in a clearing not far off from Santa’s village.  They were wondering why the reindeer had run off in the first place.  Then another herd of reindeer had emerged from the trees.  Since all the reindeer on Santa’s team were males, the other herd were all females, and some were even babies.  The reindeer on Santa’s team had families.  Santa allowed his team to stay with their families just until it was time for them to deliver presents.  They found the reindeer, the had a good Christmas, and they all had a happy ending!

      Lonely 

 

 "Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love 

  Brown smooth wooden floor. TV tray tables. also balloons and a Broken disco ball.  Bright yellow lights on the roof. 

I am Andrew and my birthday is coming up. I am getting my house ready for the party.  I am so excited for it!  I invited all my friends to the party. There will be so many little games like pin the tail on the donkey and hot potato. I don’t have much time, there were just two days until the party, and I have so much to do. 

The next day I went to school and all my friends were asking me what there was going to be at the party. I told them all the amazing food, things and games.  But there was just one problem, my dog had been going wild. Fiona, my little black pup had been barking, growling, breaking and chewing my toys.  She had been running around the house like a crazy animal. But she had started to calm down a little bit so, I hope she will be good at the party.   

When I got home from school, my dog jumped on me and started to lick me.  After I got attacked by my dog, I started to make my birthday cake with my mom. While I was making the cake, I remembered that my big cousin was coming over. He is always trying to embarrass me. If I mispronounced word, he would yell out something. For example, if I said suspific instead of specific he would embarrass me by laughing as hard as he could and saying the right thing. That night I was so excited. Also, the party is on a Saturday! That morning I woke up and thought my birthday party is today.  I looked at the time 9:35, I have three more hours.  

I got dressed and waited for my parents to wake up. When there was one hour and thirty minutes left! I woke up my parents and said, Get ready for the partyBy the time they got ready there was one hour left. We were going to go downstairs to wait for people to come. But when I looked downstairs my smile faded and my face went straightAll the decorations were ruined! The cake was halfway eaten, and the disco ball was cracked on the floor. And my dog lay there with a stuffed belly and pieces of glass in her foot from the disco ball.  Now I had to hurry and clean up. I had to hide the disco ball and buy a cake at the store.  

I ran in to car and told my mom to go! We went to the store, got a cake and went home. There was only 15 minutes until the party and then I stopped and remembered the decorations and food was all ruined. We had no time to get food and decorations. I thought about the Halloween decorations and said they would do.  But I looked outside, and everyone was coming, there was no hope.  I tried to act normal, but my cousin embarrassed me and said, this is it and laughed.  Everyone left and I ran to my room and I was lonesome and feeling sorry for myself. I was laying on my bed and heard a lot of noise. I went outside and to my surprise everyone was still there and said, “Happy Birthday!”. I was so surprised! So, I guess that wasn’t so bad. 

 

 

 

 
 
Once there was a boy he normal he was not rich was not poor normal he wanted to go to the party at the palace.  he was there he saw gems and gules but there was a dragon guarding them but his family did not need them he knew it was wrong but he was greedy and wanted everything he saw.so he tried to steal them but he got caught so he got kicked out of the palace. But worst his family was fined 1,000 dollars. And he did not get money he lost money.

The Grindy House 

There was white, foggy smoke everywhere. It felt like watery air. There were bushes with creepy spiders and a huge house right in front of meEvery morning the sound of screams come from the house and freaky laughs can be heard. There is a huge dirty window with a shattered rusted chandelier you can see through the window. The moon looks like a face with scary teeth each night 

It was Halloween night. I was going to the haunted house with my friends, Marley and Jayden. My friend, JJ had been kidnapped!  We think the owner of the haunted house had been trapping kids, so we knew we had to put an end to this.  We decided to meet up and ride our bikes there.  We were close to the house and we knew if we go in, we may never come out. 

We were about to walk through the door and then the door opened its on its own. We were scared! The door was old and creaky. We saw the black broken floor and I told my friends that we should go back, but they refused. My friend walked in and then he said, See nothing's happening.” But then that very moment we saw him. We saw the owner! He wasn’t normal, Hwas a monster! His eyes were blood red. He was about fifteen feet tall and he had sharp claws and teeth. I was scared! 

 Then the monster took my friend, Jayden!  We closed the door with a creaking sound, and we saw him through the window!  Then we opened the door. The monster was waiting right Infront of us. We ran into the house and hid. he was destroying the houseAfter an hour he found us, and he took my friends I was the only one leftI saw my friends, but the monster was guarding them, and a ghost was to! So, I knew I had to get help, so I called the ghost busters! They were outside and I told them the ghost and monster were in the basement and they told me that they might not be able to catch the monster and the ghostSo, I said why? They said there was a barrier! They also said that the that the monster and ghost won't be able to catch! So, I was about to leave but the monster grabbed me and knocked me out! 

When I woke up, I was in the basement and I noticed that the monster and the ghost were asleep, and I snuck out with my friends! We were searching the house and then I found a power ball. It could defeat any monster in the universe. But when we got to the basement the monster and ghost had woken up! So, I hid and tried to get a good angle to through the power ball when I got a good angle. I through the power ball and I hit the monster! 

After I got the monster the ghost busters came and got the ghost. My friends and I were safe, so I learned my lesson to never do something dangerous without telling a parent.

Underwater School            

 

There was white soft sand. Hard broken rocks were everywhere. Orange beautiful starfish were on the yellow and blue coral reef. Gray playful dolphins were swimming through the ocean. Blue toothy sharks were chasing a group of fish. Fast hungry fish were chasing their pray too. Crashing foamy waves as everywhere broke on the beach. White puffy clouds could be seen from under the water. salty moist air was everywhere. 

 James is my going to his first day of school.  he took a submarine to school. He didn’t get permission to do it, but he still did it. When he got there, he put on my Scooba gear. When he was about to get in, he met a new friend jack. He wasn’t a normal human he could speak fish and human. I know what you're thinking so cool but it's not. If you a shark sees me, he is not nice at all. He will say mean things and try to convince me to come in his mouth! 

The school was inside a broken pod! The pod had rusted old iron and cracked glass. I didn’t want to go in, but my friend told me I should go in and that I will have a fun time. The school looked discussing it had trash on the floor and seaweed growing on the seats it was literally an old pod he did not have a good feeling about this. When he swam in, he was feeling like this would be a long day. 

James was not happy our teacher was a lobster but after a while I got use to her a found out she was nice. The other students were fish of course. There is Billy the shark, joey the eel Jack the angle fish and Mrs. Claws the lobster and Me. The day was going well the fish are nice Billy the shark was a baby, so he was out of control, but he was nice. 

The day was nice, but I lost air at one point! I had to hurry to the submarine to go to the surface. While James was in the submarine it got hit by an angry whaleHe had to swim to the surface to refuel my tank with air. After the day was over, he noticed that Under water school is not as good as normal schoolJames missed all his friends and he almost diedJames learned that you should not do something permission.

 My name is Mr. Santos, and I am going to test my knew invention. It’s a time machine and I am driving to my lab to test it out. When I get there will be people seeing my invention. When I got there, I was nervous and scared thinking what if it mow functioned or had a glitch. When I tested it I set it to twenty million years and then activated it. First, I saw darkness, but then I saw a dyno sore and ran I looked for the time machine but couldn't find it but then I saw a tyrannosaurus and ran but then I saw the time machine and went back to normal time and said and that is my invention and left.

Lonely 

'It is lonely when you’re among people, too. Said the snake. 

 

 

A shiny checkered floor covers the building while confetti fall from the ceiling. The Slithery dance floor gleams across the room as The Shiny Brown coffee tables sits there with cups of fruit punch spilled all over it. The shiny disco ball hangs from the ceiling as other students are gobbling up the cake celebrating the end of the year. 

 

The red dirty bell rings releasing us from class. I look around everywhere and I see everyone talking about A HUGE party at George's house that he set up secretly while his parents were not home. My friend Liam asked if I would be there, “No I don’t think I can be there”, I said. “C’mon” he said, “It’ll be fun”. “Fine I'll go but for not that long got it”, “got it” he said. The next day school starts. Everybody stares at the clock waiting for it to hit 3:00. “What time is the party”, I whisper to Liam. Liam bends over and tells me, 6:00”, I bend back up and ask the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. He says, “yes you may”. 

 

 

I walk to the bathroom thinking what I should wear to the party. “sports jersey? “Maybe a leather Jacket?” “No, How about a Tuxedo.” That was it I was going to wear a tuxedo to the party. I walk back to class thinking how much fun I’d have with Liam. The bell rings letting us go home. I walk back to do my homework. Its 5:30 and I'm getting my tuxedo on hoping Liam would show up. Liam is my only friend so going there without him would be a disappointment. It 6:00 And I'm walking to the party. The brown dirt road stains my dance shoes while bits of dead grass surround my feet. The dusty bushes are full of leaves and green. the wooden Gate blocks my vision of George's house. I walk up to the white porch and hope Liam is in there. I walk in and look for Liam. there 

 

The Farmer and the little man 

Once upon a time there was a farmer who was poor without money. One day the farmer heard the kings messenger yelling the king will visit the town with a drive by in his carriage. The farmer was very excited to finally get a job as the king's servant! When he heard everyone screaming and cheering the farmer quickly ran out to meet the king. When he got to the king, he said “Lord please grant me with wealth I'm begging you”. The king approached the farmer and said to him “I don’t think that’s going to happen”. “Why not” said the farmer, “because you're never going to be like me”, “you don’t try hard to earn wealth". "you weren't part of my struggles you can't be part of my success "said the king as the farmer walked away. “I'll prove him wrong” murmured the farmer. The next day the farmer sat on his bed hanging his head down in despair. He realized he forgot to pick the corn, so he went to pick the corn, as the farmer was walking through the field, he heard a little voice from below saying “hey watch it don’t step on me! The farmer looked down and saw a little man in a green suit. “what are you doing here” he asked. The little man replied, “I'm hungry so I wanted some corn and then saw your cornfield”. “then can you please get out”. “only on one condition”. “yes”, said the farmer. You must find the great pumpkin pie, if you do you will be granted with gold and I must leave”. “okay” said the farmer, later he was on his way in the mountains over the hills and soon he ended up in the little man's state England he walked by for a couple of hours and suddenly and saw a piece of pumpkin pie in the middle of the street. The farmer grabbed it and ran off with his horse, when he got back, he saw that the little man ate all the corn! But the farmer didn’t care he gave the little man his pumpkin pie. The little man gobbled it up and said you may now be rewarded.

the long dead grass blows in the wind as spiders jump around and mice crawl through the building. There are signs are everywhere demanding for visitors to get out, the moon shines bright in the cloudy night, sky, as the wolves bark and howl throughout the night. Echoes of spirits flow through the dead grass. 

It is Halloween night trick-or treating alone in the dark night sky. I get pushed from behind thinking it is a ghost.  I Quickly run away and behind me to see a couple of bullies behind me I knew I had to get away from them quickly run to a house old and dusty, loose planks as if they were about to fall. This was the perfect place to hide. 

 

I ran to an old and chipped doorway scared to go in I knew I had to go in. in the distance I hear “come back here kid!” I quickly ran in. 

As I am in the house, I walk up the stairs to find a hiding spot suddenly, the glass lights fall to the floor and shatter. I was terrified hoping I do not get attacked. I carry on walking until I feel someone grab my shoulder I ran as fast as I can and see a werewolf crawling towards me I keep running until an old lady grabs the werewolf by the collar and tells him no. I tell her thank you for saving me”. The old lady replies “oh I’m not here to save you I’m here to play a game it’s a classic”. “It’s called hide and seek”. I am shaking my head no. the lady asks me to go hide. I sigh “fine” I run to hide. I find the perfect spot. 30 seconds later I hear ‘ready or not hear they come. 

 

As the old woman’s monsters search for me, I hide in the attic curled up in a ball as if I was a hedgehog. Hoping I would survive, right out the door I taste a weird and gross taste, seconds later a slimy drip of some kind of liquid falls on my head I look up and see nothing I look up once more and see yellow eyes with sharp white teeth drooling on my head. I am struck with shockthe wolf barks and chases me like I am a squeaky bone toy. I run down the stairs and as I’m running I see a loose floor, just as my mom taught me, ‘always be prepared for what’s coming at you’, as the wolf is coming at me I take a deebreath and slam the floor making a big hole through the floor. The wolf falls in and cries for help I ran away. I keep running down the stairs and see knight statues right in front of me. I try to run past, but they just bump into me, the knight start slamming their sword at me. I always have a plan. I run up the stairs as they are chasing me, I jump off the edge of the stairs and hurt my feet. I start limping as they get closer and closer, they start slamming their sword at me again I get skimmed by the sword and run out of the house. 

 

I am finally out of the house but, here’s the problem, the bullies were waiting for me outside the whole time. I learned a lot today especially to never risk your life over some people being mean to you.

The underwater school 

Under the ocean is a magical place. Coral reefs, rocky hard rocks. Clams build their homes here. Small orange and shiny fish swim through the wavy kelp beds. Yellow sand fills up the reef as the sharp-toothed sharks roam looking for their prey. Its pitch-black as the slimy fish swim through the waters. The only source of light is the lightbulb on a fish's head. Rusty broken boats lay on the ocean floor. Their brown color stains the water as the fish searching these boats for food and shelter. The sun lights up the ocean as the corals dance within the brightness and sing with the fish. The salty ocean water waves with the wind. 

 

One day a little boy named john went to the beach. He loved the water as if it were his home. Every day he would go under water to see the fish swim in the reefs with the clams blowing bubbles. Yet john never went deeper to explore. An underwater school lies there with many students the classrooms are clams with the sardines swimming around it. The halls with seashells on the walls the teacher Mr. Lobster teaches all kinds of fish there. He watches for bullies and makes sure no one is sad or lonely. 

 

John had good time at the beach. The water was clear until he saw a slimy red lobster with huge antennas. Trying to grab it the lobster he asked, ‘would you like to attend our school, it’s a blast?’ john replied, 'a talking lobster no way I can't any way I have real school’. “it's the weekend” replied the lobsterok then” john said with excitement“welcome John to the great underwater school!” said the lobster. John was filled with excitement for his first day at underwater school. John walked up to the ball asking what it is. “it's a pod” said the lobster. The fish opened the door and told john to come in. John walked in the pod and floated away. John admired the beauty of the ocean. He looked all around and saw many kinds of fish in boats as cars. John knew this was going to be a good day. 

 

 

John kept on floating until he saw a giant coral reef. Clams had students work and play in them. The corals were used for music class. John was excited to go! When the lobster let him in, he went to the main office and signed up. He went to math class and learnehow to do fish division, water multiplication, and more. John went up to his next class science. John learned how the great underwater volcano erupted and the damage it had done. John rushed down to recess and played with friendly fish and swung on the swings. 

 

John was having so much fun until suddenly the ground rumbled. He looked up and saw the great volcano was erupting! Everybody ran for their life john knew he had to do something. He quickly ran to a rock and threw it to the top and it did not make it. John ran up to the volcano and jumped in. It was burning hot, but john did not care. He ran to the core of the vol Cano and dug. He was too slow he tried even more but he couldn't do it alone. He gave up and sat down on the edge of the lava until he saw the friendly fish jump in and start digging. John got up and asked, “why are you doing this”. The fish replied, “we want to save our families to”. John started digging more. They finally dug a big enough hole for all the lava to fall underground. There was no time to lose the lava kept fall in and disappearing in the ground. only an inch of lava fell out. Everyone in the school came out and cheered. John was happy to see everyone ok. John walked up to the exit and swum back up the shore and saw his mom waiting for him. John told everything that happened to his mom. John learned a lot, especially to never give up.

An interview with buddy. 

In the Jefferson’s lives a dog named buddy. Buddy was a good dog. He was nice and playful and respected his owners, but he did not always get good things. Ugh why did you throw the meat on the floor fine I'll eat it! Buddy did not really like he was getting his food. They just throw it on the floor. I keep telling them I'm not going to bite, but they don’t listen. My neck hurts all day every day because of my walks. They tug whenever I see food on the floor or on the street. It's annoying yes. I just want to give them a lick on the cheek then I get pushed off them. In revenge I tear up teddy bears. So, I'm hoping they’ll get nicer at some point and let me do stuff and go on peaceful walks without them pushing me around.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE          10/29/20  

 

 One time in the forest there was haunted house and I went to check it  had dead grass a lot of spiders dead rats and it was night there was a full moon so bats came and I checked everywhere outside and that rats came back to life and chased me inside the house and I closed the door as fastest I could and I closed so ran around the house and I found a lot of skeletons and I found a person that kept on teleporting every second and after 1 second it brought every insect and they had red they were bigger than  bats and rats and there was more teleporters and they went outside and I chased them and they led me to  a basement that had a lot of clowns in that was the end.

There is a beach with sand and broken rocks and shells and kids playing everywhere and when waves come there is little fish and its California so beautiful and there is crabs everywhere and like 100 feet away there was a whale that was eating a lot of fish  and there was orcas and dolphins they were swimming around the area where we were it was so cool they were jumping everywhere, and all the kids started swimming every where

Some people didn’t come to my party. It was sad for me. I was not having fun because everyone didn’t listen to me. I got mad at everybody and I kicked everybody out of my house. I was glad that everybody left my house because, no more listening to loud music, and pushing, and someone no more messing around. That was most horrible party I had so far. I relaxed on the sofa and I 'didn't feel lonely anymore.

The haunted Mansion
There was once a haunted house. there was black dead grassfollowed by a full blue
moon. There was a purple big cat and a huge haunted house.
The Reason I was going there was because I was so curios, I read there was a story of
three kids who went there and were never seen again. Who! Who! I heard the wind
Blow.
There were stories of a black figure who buries people alive but no one noes because no
one made it out alive. After hearing the stories that made me have nightmaresI walked
up, and the door had dark bloody hand prince followed by teeth marksteeth marks and.
Right when I got in the floor broke and I fell I side of a roller coaster that was called the
roller coaster of death. There was this board that you hit your neck against, and you
usually get a concision.
so, I ducked and didn't hit my head and there was this blue figure, but it wasn't the
color they said. In the stories that was a reason that no one ever came out alive that
really freaked me out than I figured it out I was going to and so after school Mr. Garvin
told me he was setting up Halloween decorations with a roller costar and the thing that
looked like a metal board was an allusion and was the roller coaster so that made me
think it couldn't be him could it I was thinking all night than I was school time and I
hated school but I never got bad grades one reason because my mom was always on
top of me with it .
didn't move it was all an allusion and the figure was a scare crow so, I figured out that it
was our principle so the thing I learned that to never listen to people with no
experience, but I thought It was that, but I saw him take of a costume and his name was
Dr. Garvin the liar of course but He said he was Throwing a party, so I got even more
curios so at that moment life just was not making since.

 

                                         Wull and the School of Fish 

11/5/2020 

It's very peaceful smooth ocean floor followed by a pretty path of sand Cruel small shark's squid.  Small dolphins while the fish flutter around the whole lagoon just fluttering around.   

The next thing is there is huge pieces of kelp and some of the last things are A dark unforgiveable sea with black gross tar. While the pretty sun shines over the hole ocean. It is a very pretty ocean. 

There was a kid named Wull he was nervous of the underwater school.  school was in an underwater school and that is under water school the teacher was Mrs. lobster she greeted him. Wull spotted an underwater pod he had never seen one, before. But he learned about them in schoolwhen Wull spotted one he freaked, and he was scared. 

Mrs. Lobster is a very nice teacher she was usually nice sometimes though she is strict but for the most part she is very nice he was having a good day the thing he learned is that sharks are predators and that they love to eat fish and can smell blood from a mile away! Do you like sharks? 

 

 

12/15/2020

In my opinion I would pick art one of the main reasons is that art can be very fun.  Usually, in PE they pretty much put a YouTube. Probably the reason is that we are in zoom It's not that I don’t like exercising. Its just that I kind of miss being able to play like pip squeak Wilbur with all my friends or playing basketball. 

 

Wilbur didn’t want food he wanted love. 

      Lonely

 Feb 2 

 

 The house where the dance party was big, black, house. And the lawn was full of yellow dead grass. Walking on the path was the grossest thing ever because it was polluted! 

 I'm Jonathan. And I’m on my way to the party. I looked at the address, I was here.  When I got in the house, I was not welcomed it seemed nobody noticed me. so sat on a chair. I tried to start a conversation, but the music was so loud no one heard me, so I went back to the chair. 

 When I went to get a glass of water, I hit the table and spilled the fruit punch on the school bully who other kids called BiggyHe was sent to the principal 5000 times in one year. And he punched the superintendent on his visit. He stared at me. I was freaked out.  

He started to chase me.  then he started to chase me. Quickly, I ran in the back yard and hid in the bush behind the pool. when he was in front of the bush, he looked in the pool and I pushed him in. I ran back inside and hid in the curtains. When I peeked out of the curtains he was gone.  

When I walked out of the curtains, I noticed the disco ball fell on the table and cracked it in have!  everybody ran to the basement to get a replacement before the parents noticed that an $1000.00 table went to the dump. When we got the replacement and set it on the floor. After that, I felt so tired that I could fall asleep standing up.  

When my mom picked me up a 11:00 PM I was ready. When I went to bed, I thought was this a good day or a bad one. The answer came to me. It was both. 

 

 

 

 

 

Once upon a time there was a doufuss named Buck. He loved his car named Bessie, they would drive all over the place. Of course he didn’t do a good job because he was a doufuss. 

 They had such a great time until bessie’s batterie died! So he went to Riley auto parts and said to a stafGive me all the batteries for a talking car.”  

So he got the batteries for free some how dont ask about it. When he put the batterie in bessie started working. Then Buck realized hrobed the battiries so he took it out and put it back then he realized nothing is free so he went to bed. The next morning Bessie was fixed some howThey lived happlilly ever after. 

 

          The haunted house                                                            10/ 29/20 

There was dead yellow grass everywhere followed by some cobwebs full of big venomous black widows with a house surrounded by an old rusty fence with cobwebs on it too.There was an old mossy dead tree with three black owls that took off into the dark red sky. The sky had a giant scary looking blood moon with about 300 bats in the night sky that were circling the house. Every midnight the moon got a face with a devilish look on it. 

It is Friday the 13th and I am on my way to the front door.  I heard a scream and it madeit scarier. I'm here because I want to prove to my friends that the house isn’t haunted. Every step I make it feels like the sky gets darker. The house is next to Lake Erie I'm sure that makes sense because eerie means it is scary. On the porch I saw a rocking chair and it was rocking, but there was no wind. I was surprised but not curios. Before I went, I backed supplies just in case. Legend says that whoever enters never comes back. 

I needed to keep a low profile. The door looked broken and the air smelled like rotten eggs. So, I kicked the door down that’s when I heard a squeaky scratchy laugh. When the dust cleared, I saw a circular white figure wearing a crown race across the mainroom. That made me curios, so I went in. 

When I got in there was a lot of fogThen I saw that white thing again, so I followed it. It led to the to the guest room, then it stopped, and it was a ghost, and it possessed the bed somehow. Then it chased me all over the house leading to the end of the hallway. Then the ghost came out and evilly said "bye.” the I fell to the bottom floor. When I woke up from the big fall, I found a Lamborghini but there were no keys so then I found a ladder, so I climbed up and tried to find the keys. I remember something shiny in that ghost that possessed that bed. Maybe those were the keys! So, I tried to find that ghost.First, I looked in the main room I saw a vase shaking I thought it was the ghost butt it was just a black cat. Then I looked in the bedroom and found the ghost! Then chased itall over and caught it. Then the ghost turned into some sort of mega evolution. Then it tried to eat me! So, I ran and hid under the bed and tried to figure out how to defeat it. Then I remembered I'm a tech builder. So, I built a ghost sucker. I call it the ghost destroyer. So, I found the ghost and sucked it up. Then before it got in fully it called all his other ghost that all turned mega powered like the first one. So, when I sucked them up the ghost destroyer exploded, and the Lamborghini keys flew out. So, I went down to the bottom floor and rammed through the wall. Then I learned to never go in that house again. 

 

OCEAN SCHOOL                    

By Jonathan Baran 

There are big shiny tuna fish and small white tip reef sharks circling the coral reef in the day light zone. In the twilight zone there are small clear box jelly fish, nearby them are some big gray hammer head sharks. In the midnight zone there are humongous colossal squid, with three little angler fish behind it. In the bottom of the ocean there is no life. But there is a broken yellow sub with a bright white skull. 

 Jonathan was on the beach and his dad told me a surprise. He said I was going to ocean school! I was so excited that I was going to ocean school! And my dad had another surprise. An underwater pod! So, I was on my way to ocean school.  

The pod was 1 million dollars and was yellow in color. Its full speed is 30 mph. It had 2 lights on the front and 4 motors on the back. It looked like a UFO. I was ready to go. 

When I got to the school, I noticed it was a sunken ship. I went in and saw the principal and I asked which room I was in he said I was in room 7. my teacher was a lobster, and her name was Mrs. gammy. She had a nice expression with a big smileShe was talking about fractions and then the bell rang for recess. When I got to the playground some fish asked me if I was new and I said yes. He asked to if we could be friends and I said yes. I noticed his species was electric eel. He was nice and cool. So, we played with the other fish and had fun. I didn’t have to much fun since I was in a pod. Then I realized that this is just a part of life, so I had a good day and made the best of it.

                                                A hunted house  

   

     In front of the big house are many trees with long branches.  There was brown dirt and spiders on the floor.  The windows were dirty and open because the wind blow them and broke some glass.  The sky is black and there was a full moon.   

    AI was trick or treating with my friends we walk in front of the house to ring bell and to get candy. Then I noticed something was poling me in the front of the door as it opened. My friends were trying to figure out was happening because the door closed and I was inside and my friends were outside.  There was a old man holding my hands.   

     When I looked around in the house, I saw a died body. He looked familiar.  Then I looked a little better and realized the dead body was fake and I was scared for nothing.  The old man noticed what I saw and started laughing and opened the door to my friends that were outside.  They looked inside and at first were scared too but then saw that the old man and I were laughing so they started laughing too.  It was all trick for fun.

Lonely  

And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved Him the best of all. 

 My pink little flipflops are wet and cold. The big, heated swimming pool is very deep. The blue pants that I am wearing. The snack table is filled with yummy treats shaped like a cone. The walls are filled with big flat posters. My big black t shirt has glow in the dark Figgers. The beautiful night sky. 

And the little twinkling stars are the best part the of the party  

  

One-night beforeI was in my pjs then all sudden heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and some people from my school gave me an invention to party. I think? What type of party is it going to be?  The invention said that it is just a party. I hope. The next day after school I can’t chose what to were? Sence it is going to be a normal party I chose a glow in the dark shirt and blue pants. I am in front of the house, and I have so many mixed emotions. It is like I am talking in front of (trillions) of people. I open the door and I see no one in the house. Where is everyone? I walk through the house and for some reason they are in the backyard swimming pool. I walk up to someone and I ask. What type of party is this? A pool party she said. Oh No!  

 

A pool party I said. I never packed for a pool partyI need to spot thinking about it or else I am going to be stressed out. I found a seat on the other side of the pool. I walk over there thesuddenly; I fall into the pool. Help! Help I don’t know how to swim. Then someone jumps into the pool and swims me to the shallow end of the pool so I can stand up and get out of the pool. When I got out of the everyone started pointing at me. I was all wet I did not know what to do. Then someone came up to me and asked do you need a towelYes, I do. Here you go. Can I sit next to you. I ask. Yes, you can. Do you want to be my friend I asked? Yes, I would love that. She gave me spear clothes then we danced together. That was the funest and the craziest time of my life.

 The Scary House  

 

 

Me and my friends went for a walk and say a big hunted house. There is tall died grass and a big rusted gate. There are big green bushes with big black bugs. My friend and I were looking around at the dark night with a big white moon and the trees were swaying in the wind. Me and my friends went around the house and found a broken window. My friend does not want to go up to the house.  

My friend and I decided to go to the haunted house, so we went back to my house to get flashlights. Then we went back to my house we still were looking around the house and I stopped to look inside the broken window to see inside and the first time we came across the house I could see inside the house but this time someone blocked up the window.  It got very dark so we decided to go back to my house so we can go back to the haunted house the next day. We came back the next day and we say a sign that said [do not disturb!]. We did not know what to do.  

We were standing there think what to do. Then I had an idea, so me and my friends went back to the front door and were looking around the front door and we say a big metal door with some big red spiders. The big metal door was rusted like it was in water. I tried to find something so I can try to open the door but there was nothing that I can try to open the door, but I couldn'tI got a big stick and put it in the crack of the door, and it opened. I thought for a second my friends went in.  

 

My friends went in the haunted house I got scared then went in the house. It was pitch black in the house. The good thig is I brough a flashlight. I turned it on and was looking around the house. Then I heard a thump! from the basement. I was scared. I the movies the scary part is in the basement. But I went in the basement with my friends. I heard something coming closer to me, but I did not see what every it was I said to myself is that a ghost or did it not pass me yet. My friend said to the past us all right, so there is a ghost in this house. How do we get the ghost out of the house?  

 

I have a good idea to get the ghost out of the house! We can be like the ghost busters. We can make a ghost trap and trap the ghost in it. My friend said what if i there is more than one ghost there might be more than one ghost. There is just one in this house, I hope. So far, I have only heard one noise and I hope it is only one noise in this house. Me and my friends made two traps out of things form the yard and from in the house it was hard making those traps, but I did it. Then me and my friends put the two traps on the first leval and the second trap in the basement where we herd the noise. It got dark that day, so we went back to the house so, we can come back the next day in both traps were shaking. Now I think that there is more than one ghost in this house. I had an idea to keep all the ghost in. Maybe we can make big bothat can hold all the ghost in me, and my friends tried to build the box and we did. So, we somehow put the ghost in the box the used the two traps agin and got some more. I put the ghost in the box then used them agin. It got dark so we went back to the house the next day and both traps were empty. I did not know what to do with to ghost so we dough a hole and put the box in the hole. Me and my friends that it was crazy, so went back to the house and told the parent and they though was crazy. I took my friends back to their houses. In the car my friends said that was the two craziest days in my life. I learned to problem solve and to be confident.

Water School! 

  

  Under the beautiful blue waves crashing on the tan-colored sand beach there is round grey rock with a rainbow coral reef and fish of all sizes and clams of all colors also there is beautiful grey dolphins. On top of the cool blue sea there is a big bright sun and many boats. Excitedly there is people surfing on the top of the wavesIn the deep blue sea, there is many ship recks. 

Hi, I am Michael, and he is going under the sea to a place named school. The   school looks like a big building that is white, orange, and blue. There are big rusted doorsThere are colorful reefs and big shiny clams. There is are small little fish that are different shapes and sizes and colors. 

    I am not a fish I cannot dive down there I will drown said MichaelThat is why you are going in a pod said a helper. Why don’t you take the pod for a test run so you can look around the school and see how pretty it is. Don’t were about the fish they can’t see you the pod is camouflaged. You can see through the window, but they can’t.  

    It is time for class, so jump in your pod and go to class. I can’t wait to see who my teacher is. I got to class, and I got scalded that my teacher is a lobster. Hallow class my name is Mr. Alex and welcome to my school for a worm up let's get out your math books page5 lets questor 1. Then he said to take out your reading book and open to page 20. Hours went by then before I knew it class was over. Michael said by to the teacher and left he had a fun day and school.  

     After school Michael was in his pod and a fish came up to him and asked him if he can be his friend and he said yes. Now Michael has a friend. His friend looks blue, pink, and yellow. He is a small fish and there in the same class. The next day in class they went on a field trip to a sunken ship. When they were there a big octopus that try to eat everyone, he did not know what to do so they hid in some kelp Michael came out of the kelp and pressed a Butten that said to fight an octopus and he got from that batten a big box that you can put the octopus in, so they fought it then pushed it in the box.  After that they went back to the school 

     The next day we thought the octopus a lesson to be nice and not to try to eat people also we thought him other things to like not to be a bully and we told him what to eat. We did that so when they let him free the octopus he would not hurt anyone. The next day they let him go at a big cave were there is plenty of things to eat . Michael had the best time at Water school and he can’t wait to see his friends next year. Michael learned not to eat anyone so they don’t get heart.

 The Sleep Over 

Nock! I went over to the door and opened it there was no one there. Boo! I got scared. My friend came over frobehind a bush. Come in I said.  This is going to be an awesome sleep over. So do you guys want to play hide-in –seek. Shure. Everyone goes hide. Who am I going to find first. A few minutes later person I found is Kaden. In the closet next to him is Megan and behind her is Mickael. There is one more person where could she be? I was walking around the house and say her with a head of a lamp on her head. Let go have some popcorn and watch movie . That was the best sleep over.

   Lonely 

                                "Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love." 

-E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web 

Fast, loudstormy waves are washing through with slimy, color nice fish. Yelling, jumping people are on the sand with bannersFirst, Second, and Third place steps with confetti cannons on the sides. Tables with water bottles filled with water and red Gatorade for the people. Squawking, hungry crows going for the fish to eat. Planes in the air with surfboard shaped piñatas ready to get cut opened.  

I am in a surfing contest that I have trained for since I was three years old. I had to go through water cones and through waves which is very hard but not for me. I love fish so when I looked over and saw they were getting ate right in front of my eyes I went out of the cones and scared some birds away. I needed to win so I rushed back to the contest in a fast, efficient way that no one else could. I finally got back in first place at the last second. I thought all that training was going to just go to second place which didn't make me feel good. I felt like throwing up on the fish. When I got first place, I screamed my heart out. Then I looked who got second place and it was JJ. He is so mean some people run from him. He said, if I don’t come to the second-place step will have bad luck. I refused to go but later that day I found out my uncle had to move across the country and my ant had to move for work alreadyMy cousin that is fourteen now must take care of her ten little siblings, but she just likes her phone. My uncle was mean to me anyway, so I don’t really care. Before during that day when I won, I had confetti all over me and people asked my name 

replied, my name is Kelsey and I trained since I was three so this is a huge honor this is the only thing, I cared about winning yippy oh I still am so happy it isn't waste of my life I'm so happy”. I spoke to myself in my head that isn't even how happy I really am. I felt like a piñata when kids hit them openThen I looked up and saw a piñata coming down apparently for me the winner. They gave me a baseball bat but all I did was say no for that is how my ant had to move. A baseball bat somehow broke my aunt's old work. The building torn to bricks, wood, and metalNo one knows how a baseball bat can break a building but, it did so my ant had to leave. Instead, I used bark from treesBark worked! I eat a lot of candy with more than half left. I didn’t really want to eat much of it for the look showed my life. All my friends weren’t there, and it made me kind of sad I cried with joy fifty% and sadness fifty%.Yahoo yay, let's go Kelsey, were here surfer girl.  

it's my friends they came I hollered. I've never been happier in my life and I am almost twelve. “hi girls come look at who got second and third” I howledI never even realized that I never looked at who got third, oh geez” I wailed. It was my sister who has always tried to make me lose this race. She just knew how much attention I got when I won the easer ones and how much I loved surfing and that’s what she hated the most about me. “Hi Kels it’s a family winning competition or I mean sister winning competition. This is so exciting maybe you should come down her so we can take pictures. Unless you want to do it up there on first place.” my sister afforded in her screechy annoying voice. I chose to ignore her and keep having fun. Finally at the end I could catch up with my friends. They told me that they all needed help with their homeork on math and they knew I was great at math so did it already. I replied, “sure how about the free room for anyone at the school”. They all shot me the face of that is what I was thinking. I hoped on my brothers’ skateboard that my sister brought and rode to my friends' houses first Briana’s house then Julis but this time Michel was with Briana so next I went home. I bounced onto my bed when I got home and did some surfing Legos. It took me about four hours to finish three and a half sets but then I was done for the day. I looked at the time and say it was time to go so homework. The school room is open at three o’ clock and it was two thirty-four. I quickly grabbed my math books put it in my backpack and ran to the door to pick up my mom's car keys. I forgot to ask my mom to drive so I requested “mom I need to help my friends with homework at the school and I need you to drive”. My mom told me she can't, too much work today.  

 I ran to the garage for a mini car or skateboardInstead, I found a brand-new bike for my first place that said, “surfing all day getting first place Kelsey.” I jumped up and down a thousand times then hoped on and went to the school. I then realized I can't go to school in this it's my two-piece swimsuit. It was already Three-fifty-seven no turning back now just must hope everyone knows about my surfing comp, so I don’t get in trouble. I parked my bike then darted in the school to the room. I suddenly stopped; something was stopping me just a few blocks away from the room. Somone whispered “your sister is mine now too bad to you”. It was JJ who stopped me but now he is gone so I flu right to the roomThe school was quite with nothing except lockers. 

I opened the door and through my bag in the middle of the huge room. “Hello where are you guys it is four-o-three an hour and three minutes late. Are you still here? hello why are the lights off?” I heard a whisper “one two three lights” then a loud scream “boo! Cognates! good job!” The lights turned on and all my friends popped out of hiding spots. I thought my mom probable knew this would take a while so she couldn’t drive me. Was JJ a part of it? If JJ was a part of it, I would be surprised.  I made a speech “Thank you everyone for this wonder full surprise I am so happy! If only I could repay you guysomehow, but nothing could replace in a fear way. Oh, Michel that is why you went with Briana and Juli that is why you wanted them to go first you live closer to the school so they can start coming her and then when you get home you can go, and you guys would get here at the same time to set it all up. It is so smart to do that, and I didn’t even know about it at all. Is that JJ walking in”? “Yep, it’s JJ you know he just joined four weeks ago, and he has just acted like he was mean so he could get second place and then celebrate to you by being nice and partying. So, let's party”.Juli announced 

When I really looked around, I saw there were rainbow, light up dance floors with small, shades of blue confetti all over. Two huge, delicious snack/drink tables with a bundle of square, ice metals underneath is big, descripted water learning books with see-through, floatablelight weighted water balloons attached to shelfs and doors. Surprising there are four expensive, shiny, circle disco balls. On top of the door beautiful, thoughtful congrats banner. Many pools and wave pools all over with some diving boards and water slides. There was one wave pool that you chose when it goes off, so it doesn't have to go off, with paddle boards, jet skis and more for people to use. 

In this case for the party people to use for my congrats surfer winning party. To my curiosity I hunted “all this stuffwhat is the school going to do with the pools there under ground and above, so it is hard to get rid of them? Everyone yelled in reply “It is our new group as friends we got the school to let us friends have our brand-new club for us friends here starting tomorrowOh, and the club thing your three BFFs made it up about seven hours ago jus for you Kelsey now let’s really party.  I first wanted to dive because it is one of the things I needed for the smaller comp. When I dived everyone thought I was a pool hacker or a mermaid. It was a blast diving, swimming and sliding but I fell it was to so jet ski with a twist. When I hoped on the jet ski, I put my closest foot to the paddle board I just needed one more thing! I took a boat and put my foot on the jet ski onto the fishing boat. I looked funny because the jet ski I was sitting on, the paddle board my left foot was on and my right foot was on the fishing boat I was basically in a split. It was a good thing I guess I was in my swimsuit and a stretchy one at that. I steered with the jet ski and went out of the water a bit only to turn around in a cool splashy way. People started cheering “wave pool surfing wave pool surfing”. I listened to them and went to the wave pool to surf I was so good that part of the time I could just stay in place them wing blasting fast. Out of nowhere I fell ofthe surfboard sinking so Juli tried to help me, but she fell and started to sink 

We made it out crawling like babies with all the people laughing at me. I failed what I am best at I am alone. It feels so lonely over here on my own the nice balloons now look like sad tears. I thought I would try fruit punch, but it tasted like nothing. I wanted to find a way to not be lonely any more it isn’t fun. I finally thought who lead the laughing my sister, so I'll challenge her to a surfing contest. “Hi sis I challenge you to a surfing contest” announced! They all just ignored me until my sister walks up and shows you vs. me contest now let's go. We got on our boards and set off. I washed water all over her to get her to fall but it didn’t work yet. I was a bug away to falling but instead washed up the worst teammate ever. “uhg” my sister grasped. “I won now you lost so you are out of this club who wants to verse me next just kidding I won't verse any of you right now, but I am never failing in surfing. Remember always I'm never failing in surfing”. We all started dancing and my biggest crush walked in Nathen. The DJ turned on slow dance for me and Nathen and at the end of the dance we started to date. 

  

 

 

Once there was a big happy city. There was someone that only had a few dollars. He could not get the big fancy shoes that everyone else could. He was unhappy and wanted the shoes. 

     Then he saw a nice clean pair on Miks doorstep and thought I could take those and say they are mine. Everyone would think i am cool. The next day everyone thought he bought the nice shoes. Then someone yelled my shoes are gone someone stole them! 

      He saw Mike and began to runEveryone saw the guy that lost his shoes. Mike yelled out loud get that boy he took my shoes. It turned out to be a chase for the shoes. He made it back home, but the people broke into the house and took the shoes back.  

     Later, that day the boy came up to them and said I know I took your shoes and i am sorry. I should have just let them on your doorstep MikeMike said just remember don’t touch something that is not yours.

                                                          Haunted House 

 

There are light colored, flimsy bags on the ground. There are big, blue bugs inside of them. In front of see through, large windows are grey small stacks of books. A blackspotted dress is hanging on the wooden wall outside. Next to the dress is a colorful, beautiful drawing. In fount of the red, full moon is brown, flying bats. 

I was with my friend Jerry and she told me that whoever goes in gets trapped for ever. I yelled ‘really that is so scary’. I had to go in though because my brother named Kai was in there. It was the scariest thing ever when I walked up the with Jerry. I got to the door and I sighed ‘you sure I am kind of scared’.  

When we made it to the doorstep, we saw like 40 floors.  At the door I see grass on glass on the ground. Jerry rang the doorbell and it yelled I am going to capture you. It was so scary we sprinted to the back. It was weird back there because it was normal. 

Then in the back I saw one window on the 24th   story swung open. I saw I ladder right next to itSlowly I walked up after jerry. heard a little baby scream form Kai inside and I pushed Jerry out of the way and ran up. Jerry followed me in, and we saw a dark room with a bundle of cats. I whispered, maybe he is in that room over there. The room looked secretive and it makes my grossed out. Jerry suggested I will go if you go first. I said, ‘fine let's go’. We walked in the room and found a bunch of old toy swords. The cats ran in after us like they never been in the room before. We heard a noise form the other side of the room but there was no way to get there. Jerry saw a mouse whole in the wall, but it was big. She went in right next to me and, the only thing we saw was a rusty elevator. We went in while yelling ‘if this is a joke it is not funny’. 

I hit the button at the very top thinking it must be the right one. I heard a noise, but I did not know what it was, so I asked, ‘did you hear that Jerry’. All though I knew Jerry would say no because she always says she ‘I did not hear that’ because she is talking in her hear that she can do it. It stopped and I ran out not forgetting about KaiKai snuck by me, so I ran after him. Kai whispered, I just made it out of the rope in that room and she is evil let's go’. We made it to the first floor and to the door, but she started chasing us. I knew we needed to get out of hereThe lady locked the door and, Kai couldn’t open it. Me and Jerry tried, and we could not ether, so we ran to the 24th floor, to go out the window but it was closed so we just ran up and down the stairs on the left of the house. Kai realized that the lady was not there. Wfound her opening the windows next to her for fresh air. We ran up to her and pushed her out the window and a crash pad we just found. Then we jumped on the crash pad and ran. Jerry asked kai when we were safe, how did that happen. He replied ‘I went out on my own trick or treating and got lost. I taped him on the head and yelled ‘you are 7 you need to stay with in older kid or adult’. When we got home, we saw a paper with writing that had don’t leave the house again.  

That is how Kai learned never to anything or leave anything without an older person.

   FirsSea School 

 

In the ocean there is green, wavy, coral reef with black, splashing water all around it. There are big, beautiful Rainbow Flashlight fish. Also, huge, Grey Sperm whales surrounding bubbling, blue Hatchet fish. In the blue, sparkly water there are pink, swimming Man of War Jelly fish. At the surface tiny, slimy sand crabs are in the sand. Hungry, fast furious Seagulls are trying to eat brand new, tadpoles. 

Briana is a little girl who was awoken by her mom telling her to get to the beach. She was not happy with her mom for waking her up until, she remembered that it was her first day of sea school. Sea school is a school that is in the ocean. Briana didn’t even wait for her mom to get ready with the car, she just ran to the beach. When she arrived, she forgot a paddle board. She looked around and saw a bundle of paddle boards and paddles on a wall. She took one and went to the water. 

Briana started paddle boarding so she can get to the pod fast. The pod is her way to take her underwater school. When she finally made it to the pod she could see now that it is round and shiny. The shine was so bright and yellow that she needed sunglasses on. A boy inside of the pod pressed a button and a door opened like it was a castle door. The door looked like it had another door inside, but it wasn’t. It was just a bubble that kept water out but, you could walk through it. Briana saw a lot of buttons and lights inside the pod. The boy asked, “What is your name? Mine is Mikah. Briana was wondering if she should tell her name to a stranger. She yelled across the pod “It is Briana. They made it to the part of the ocean that the school was at and Mikah opened the door that water could not get into.  

The teacher walked up, and it was lobster. Briana whispered to Mikah, “The teacher is a lobster. On the lobster they saw a sign that said Mr. Lobney and she thought that this must be a joke. Lobney was stomping and he was mean. It is hard to hear because she sounds like a mean, loud alienBriana heard that it was time for math then reading the words on shellfish bubbles then more. The math was very weird we just counted bubbles and learned to ride horse fish while counting the fish form biggest to smallest. Briana couldn’t ride the horse fish, so she just counted the fish from the pod. Briana was a little sad that she couldn’t try but she tried to not let it show. 

Next thing she knew there was a horse fish with a goldfish riding it half in the bubble half out. Goldfish explained “I will get off for a little and you can at least sit on my horse fish”. She was so happy she jumped on and has as happy as she could be. Mikah had the pod start to move, and she was still on the horse fish, so it was like she was riding for real. She knew she would have to give the fish back to the little goldfish but, the goldfish let her stay on. Goldfish just swam right next to the pod. Little goldfish swam very fast for the pod was going 76 miles per hour, and goldfish stayed next to it the whole time. A big octopus came to us and Mikah thought he was going to have them crash. The octopus just wanted to talk though so they slowed down. Octopus called out “Can I play too”. They responded, “Yes always yes”.  

Later, that day they were reading bubbles and Mr. Lobney keep yelling at Briana. Briana was crying the whole time because it was not fun having your lobster teacher yell at you when the voice is already loud. The fish were so nice that every single fish in the class swam around the pod screaming “Briana and Mikah are friends and good” repeatedly. Goldfish and Octopus was so nice because they started it but now everyone is chanting. Briana finial stopped crying and was happy with all her fish friends.   

It felt like the best day of here live until the next week on a fienday which is a Wednesday but for fish. Everyday Lobney was still mean to Briana. On that one-day fienday Lobney was nice. Lobney thought that Briana finally found out what sea school is about. Wich she did get what sea school was more about. It was the best day every and Briana was having so much fun at sea school. She never wanted to leave the sea school again. That wish came trueInstead of leaving and coming back every day, Mikah stayed in the ocean with the pod and had sleeping bags. Not only sleeping bags, he had a lifetime supply of food and everything you can think of.  

One day she went back home to see her mom. When she got there her mom was yelling and running around. Sweaty, where were you her mom screamed. Briana forgot to tell her mom that she was staying at sea school. She explained to her that she stayed and forgot to tell her mom and her mom understood. That is how Briana learned to always tell her mom before she said yes.

        Lonely 

“Wilber didn’t want food, he wanted love.” 

-E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web 

 

There are warm, fuzzy bunny slippers and full, white bookshelves. There is a big, bludresser and prettydiamond lights.  

I am Liana and it is my birthday, and I am getting ready to go to school before my party. I walk down the stairs, and nobody made pancakesOnly plain old fruit from lasts nights dessert. As I bike to school, I realize that my bike feels noticeably light. Just then I knew that I had forgotten my lunch! I put all my textbooks in my locker and walked to class. 

As I walk to class, I see Big Jack, the meanest kid in class. He has been expelled 12 times across the country. He walks up to me and says “Give me your lunch! Now!”  

I don’t have a lunch” I sputtered. He lifts his fist up to punch me in the face, but I dodged it and ran to class. “Ring, the bell rang I rushed back to my house to get ready for the party. As I get there, I see cars. Who could be here? I walk in and I see. 

A bright, blinding dance floor and a fruity, peach punch bowl. There are green, leafy plants and gigantic, gold balls.  

Somebody threw my party for me! My head was red hot. The person who threw my party made it all ocean themed when I wanted it dog theme or no theme at all. Then I see my BFF El (short for Elisabeth) dancing with my other friend DarcyPsst. El” whispered waving my hand so she can see me.  

“Hey L, love the party!” she yelled while walking with Darcy.  

“Ya about that, El I didn’t throw it.” 

Of course, you didn’t silly I did, Oops!” 

“You what?” My head was boiling red, but I cooled down and walked away calmly. Just at that moment I hear a loud CRASH! I thought something might have fallen, but instead the gold balls broke. I quickly ran over to the dance floor.  I was thinking “What happened?” Then I saw my suspect Mr. B. He never did like me and now he is trying to demolish my party. 

El knew what I was thinking because of the anger on my face that only she can see. I think she thought that Mr. B was trying to wreak my party too. If only I had the brains of Mystery Incorporated who can solve mysteries and find out who’s the bad guy and trap him/her. Then I had an idea what if I wait until whoever is behind the wreckage to prove their next point so I have more evidence because it could be anyone. 

2 hours later at 11:00 I hear a Rip,” and I look over and see I was right it was Mr. B destroying the partyThen I look at what he’ripping, and I see he’s ripping my favorite plant that took me year to grow! 

I walk backwards in disbelief. “SPLASH!” Big Jack (not supposed to be there) spills punch all over my new dress! A rush of embarrassment comes up my face. I run to my room as quickly as I can and sit on my bed to cry. I felt lonely. The next day I walk as slow as I can to school with gum on my shoe from the sidewalk. When I got there, I felt unwelcome, lonesome, and comfortless. 

I made sure to pack my hoody so nobody can see me. El and Darcy tried to comfort me, but it was no use because my face said all the guilt it needed to. They next day everything was the same except that day I got mail. I thought it might be like a present and a card that was like Happy B-day or something to that affect, so I didn’t want to open it but El and Darcy encouraged me 

No, I was wrong I was something way different! El and Darcy know me very well they got me a Mini Australian shepherd puppy! Now I know why El made the party ocean themed because she and Darcy didn’t want me getting suspicious about what I was going to get for my birthday. 

 “Thank you thank you thank you!” I said hugging my puppy. 

 

One day Pixie and her BMUFF (best mermaid Unicorn friend forever) Rose had a sleep over for ten days straight. Pixie and Rose went to their favorite place of all the park called Magic LandEveryone loved Magic Land it was so much fun. They went there every day after the petting zoo. The next day they went back there on the way there they saw a Bear shark coming at them. As soon as they saw it, they were in the mouth of a Bear Shark! “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” they both screamed. They were both shivering with fear then they realized that they were combined with two magical creatures. They put their horns together and burst out of the Bear Shark. They quickly swam to the Magic Land park and had a ball. The Bear Shark well that guy was never seen again.  

Moral: Two heads make things right.

     The Haunted House 

           The house next door is very creepy. It has dry yellow grass and hairy poisonous spiders! The trees are brown and dead like meat. It's near a cold, greyand scary cemetery. There are black dirty crows and loud creepy owls outside. In the sky there are dark weird bats and a bright full moon. 

It was Halloween night and I wanted to get a lot of candy to put in my stash. As I was walking toured the door to the last house, I saw a crow and my dog barked frightfully as I quivered in fear. Suddenly I hear an owl “Hoot, Hoot, Hoot” I peeped at my dog “come on girl it's for a good cause. As I look down, I see a road of squished bugs then I look up and see a moving tiny figure.  

I creep up the steps and my, my body feel a cold chill. I was very curious what that shadowy figure was. The door there was a dark brown, creepy door the nob on there was very suspicious it looked like a scull. My dog sneakily tried to run but I stopped her from leaving me then she looked at me like she was saying “you're crazy I’m not staying here for another minute it is creepy!”. Then I looked up and saw a group of bats coming our way “AHHHHHH!” I screamed. Just then the big door opened with a SCREEECH!  My dog and I jumped in fear then said, “Trick or treat!”. 

Nobody was there! Just a big old chandelier on the ceiling. We walked insideThen a big old ghost came straight toward my dog he swooped her up and took her away. I ran after her, but ghost flew to fast and I couldn’t catch up. I sobbed a little my onlprecious German shepherd Black lab dog was gone! Suddenly, I had an idea! I could search the rooms to find my precious puppy. I looked up there where a whole lot of rooms.  

The first room were dark and cold. The second room was the complete opposite it was LOUD! These weird ghosts where partying and drinking what looked like blood but, now I kind of think it was punch. Then I decided to go to the next room I opened the door and could not believe what I saw. I was a huge room and for some reason ghosts where holding umbrellas and there wasn't any rain then I spotted a grave inside, and it was also wet when there was NO RAIN! By the time I had reached half of the rooms I still haven't seen my dog. Just then I heard a wiper, and it was followed by another and another I ran to where it was coming from! 

There was my dog I ran and kissed her on the head, but it seemed too easy to find her shouldn't something bad happen next?Then SLAM! it sounded like a door closing what was that? I said. I looked up and saw a closed door I quickly jumped up and ran to the door to open it, but it wouldn’t budge “it’s stuck” my dog even tried to nudge it open, but it didn’t work. So, I looked around to see if there was anything to open the door then I spotted a hammer. I grabbed it and started smacking the door as hard as I could it wouldn't even make a dent it was like the door was steel! 

Finally, I found a wrench that seemed easy and the ghost probably thought I didn’t have a brain and thought I would think that it would be complicated, but he was wrong. I opened it easily and grabbed my dog’s leash ran to the door “goodbye creepy house” I said. From that day I learned to never give up.

The Ocean Adventure 

In the water there is rough, squishy sand and ticklish, slimy kelp. Above the kelp is kind, chubby sea creatures and a tiny, dark, mysterious sea cave. Look above and you’ll see big, bule whales and a red, snappy crab floating about. On the side is a school of orange, scaly fish. On the surface there is a peaceful, turquoise sea and there might be shimmery, jumping dolphins. If you look up, you’ll see white, hungry seagulls and a bright shiny sun. 

Pearl was worried. It was her first day at under water school! She had butterflies in her stomach as she walked towards the water. Then she remembered what her mom said, “when everything feels bad it will end good.” She felt the water it was warm and nice. When she was half-way in the water, she saw tiny little fish curiously looking at her toes. Once she was half-way there, she quickly jumped in as fast as she could to not regret it. When she jumped in her brown hair quickly turned black and her beautiful white bathing suit turned light blue. 

She flopped down in the deep blue and took her bright purple, pink, and blue pod. She called her pod the Turbo Pod 2,000. It was so fast that she could race a dolphin and win. It also went 50mph. Anyway, Pearl wanted to take the long way to get her mind off from everythinthat is happening. She also saw many, many fish and Merpeople that go the long way too. Pearl thought “will I see these people at my new school or will there be other people and fish. She made a quick turn and headed the short way half changing her mind about how the day will be for her. 

When Pearl got to The Academy for Under Water School, she saw that the people that took the long way were there.  Then the last bell rang “Bong, Bong, Bong!” “oh no I’m late to class!” Pearl said in a worried voice. When she got to class her new teacher Mrs. Harp, who was a lobster, introduced her to the class. She said, “Good morning class we have a new student today her name is Peal Ocean land. I want everyone to be kind to her.” Mrs. Harp was a very kind lobster and had a bright, shinyred shell. 

After that it was nice Mrs. Harp assigning her buddy, so Pearl skipped class with her new friend who was a merman guy named Brett. Brett had bold, blue eyes and wavyblond hair that glowed like the sun above. He gave Pearl a tour around the school and help her catch up on work which took almost the rest of the day. When they went to recess Brett needed to go home early “By hope to see you tomorrow!” he said as he waved from the car. “You too” Pearl answered now Pearl was left all alone! Just then a mermaid came by “Hi do you want to be friends. I heard you where new.” said the girl in a shy voice. “sure! What’s your name?” Pearl replied. “Meredith” she said. 

On their way inside Pearl and her new friend Meredeth where laughing out loud. “Meredith is pretty funny.” Pearl thought. Just then three shy, cutelittle fish came up to them and asked, “where is room 10?” “over there!” Pearl and Meredith said at the same timeAfter the fish left “tee he” the girls started giggling softly. As they went inside the classroom and sat down Mrs.Harp was starting to dismiss everyone by row “red row, green row, blue row you are dismissed now. Have a nice day everyone!” “goodbye Mrs. Harp” Pearl said as she exited out of the class. Pearl said goodbye to Meredith, jumped into her pod, and rode away. 

When Pearl was at the surface, she grabbed her pod and went to the car where her Mom was waiting for her. “How was your day?” her Mom asked “Great!” Pearl answered. “See told you it would be good at the end.” After that day Pearl learned to make new friends and go with the flow.

The Point of View of a Dog 

Have you wondered what dogs think about all day about you? Well, iyour dog likes to protect you than they would probably be thinking about protecting you.  When they walk away from you then they might be thinking “what is this person trying to do?”  Sometimes when you are sad and your dog is near you then its probably thinking “why is my owner sad if they are sad, I am sad.  When you're eating a sandwich and your dog is looking at you, they might think “when are they going to give me that.” O“why are they holding it that isn’t right they should eat it on the plate with their mouth. So, behind your back they are thinking a lot of things that you don’t even know about.

Walking on the cracked sidewalk to the Disco dace party my friend invited me to. was watching little birds fly from tree to tree. Made it to the party, the place the party was hosted in, was all warn down with thin cracked walls. Hope it holds for the party. 

My friend was supposed to meet me at the party. I sat on a little brown wooded bench, swaying my feet back and forth. Then I heard my phone ring it was my friend, she sed ‘’ Sory, I need to watch my little brother can't make it to the party.’’ I hung up, and sat in silence, for a mint or two. What just happenedmy only friend called and sed she can't make it to the party. What do I do now 

walked up to the big Brown doors.  And took a deep breath. Then I pushed open the doors and walked into the party room and gees wat I saw. A big silver glamming disco ball. Then I looked over at a little yellow char in the corner. I slowly walked to the char and sat down looking up at the disco ball. 

 I was still sitting in the char looking up at the disco ball. Then I was startled by a lowed sound that the D.J. made with his microphone. He shouted ‘’ Dace circle! ‘’I did not join the dance circle, but I did watch every one’s moves. Then I looked up at the disco ball, it was shaking like crazy! Then I noticed the safety clip was not in. Then I looked over next to the char it was a latter, I picked up the latter, and started climbing up it. I put the clip back on and climbed back down. I saved the party. 

       did not make any friends, but it was a good party. 

 

In the forest lived a mouse. The mouse was small brown and smart.  one day in the spring the mouse

   Lonely 

  •  

It is lonely when you’re among people, too,' said the snake.” 

 

It was fifth grader graduation at my new school. Everyone had been telling about what a fun event it would be with a Dj, photo booth, carnival games, a game truck, and two vr rooms Were a new addition for our class.it was what everyone couldn’t wait to party. The problem for me was I was new, had no real close friends, but I wasn’t to miss out. 

The day arrived too soon. As I walked in and looked around, I knew my two only friends couldn’t be here. Willam would be in Alabama visiting his grandma, and Skai was home sick high fever.my stomach churned and twisted. Butterflies ran through me and up and out my mouth. I rushed to the bathroom and puked. Luckly no one was in there, and my stomach felt settled. I reentered to the M.P.R 

I looked around and saw a dirty door mat from all the shoes that had entered. Red confeth was launched like a cannon.  It rained like no tomorrow. The disco ball spun creating a rotation of colorful lights. Everyone had something to do. Everyone but me. That’s when the teasing began. I was bullied to go in the scary vr room. It was awful that I was temhed into the next night. 

One I exited the room the bullies were still there. This time they tossed cups full of red fruit punch on my new white tuxedo. Gerurd whipped out his  phore and flmed the whole event. Later that night he posted it on YouTube. The video went viral. I was ternhed to show my face again. The teasing lushed until eighth grade. That is what lonely feels like. 

 

 
Wos onpe a time  there was a rat that will steal food but one time the rat stol a lions food the lion  woke up the lion the rat ran as  fat as he can . The lion cotch the rat the lion said  I will eat you he said.the rat  saidpls don’t eat me would do thing  lions said get me food with out seating . Rat said yes.afaer that he never stels  a gen.

On a cold moonlit night, the dense fog lifted as two headlights appeared on the road. The car tires crunched on the gravel as it rolled to stop and the car doors slowly creaked open. Two strange figures got out of the car and walked into the dead overgrown forest towards the meadow

As we headed into the forest, we knew that we could now tell the kids at school we were not scared chumps. Then we heard mischievous laughter coming from behind us. I continued ahead to the meadow and when I turned around, my frienwas not there. In a panic, I looked for my friend. I called out for him but there was no reply. I grabbed my phone to call 911. There was only static on the line. I heard laughter again. Then I was struck in the head by something and I passed out. 

 I woke up in thmeadow in front of aabandoned fire damaged home. I got up and walked to the front door and pushed it open. 

  I saw my friend on the floor with dried blood around his nose. I shook him hard to wake him up. He cried “behind you a ghost!”.  It was a creepy ghost figure. The door slammed shut and locked. We were trapped. We ran into a bedroom and hid under the bed.  

 The ghost searched the room for us making an awful screech. The room became quiet and we knew this was our chance to escape. We broke the window and crawled out quickly. 

We sprinted back to the car parked on the gravel road. Once safely in the car, we vowed never to go back into the forest.  

 I learned to never go in an abandoned house.

                                           Jeff’s Underwater Adventure 

 

As the cliffs of the California coast disappeared, a new world came to life. On the top of the ocean the waves were turning and twisting and eventually crashing on the shore. The pod slowly submerged into calmer waters and headed toward the coral reef. A reef filled with sea life and color. 

Finally, the propellers on the pod came to a stop. Jeff had arrived at the Underwater Academy. Nervously, Jeff emerged out of the pod with his scuba tank and wetsuit on. He grabbed his underwater paper and started to fidget with it.  

 Jeff’s teacher greeted him with a nice relaxing smile. His teacher was a big confident lobster. She reached out a claw to shake Jeff’s hand and said, “Hello. I am Mrs. Carol Lobster. Please call me Mrs. Lobster.” Mrs. Lobster had put Jeff at ease, and he felt better about his decision to attend the Underwater Academy. 

Things were going Jeff’s way until recess. This is when two giant fish started the taunting and teasing about his scuba gear. During the pushing, Jeff’s regulator fell from his mouth, and he struggled to grab it. Luckily he got it back to his mouth just in time before passing out.  

After recess, Jeff headed to science class with his head hung low. More than anything, he wished to be up on dry land far away from the Underwater Academy. In class, he found everyone sitting in partners. Dave, the clown fish, was sitting alone. Mrs. Lobster told Jeff to take te seat next to Dave. Dave grabbed the beakers of air to start their lab and cracked a joke to Jeff. Jeff started laughing out loud. He knew Dave was a funny fish, but one who was caring, as he asked about how Jeff was doing. 

At the end of the day, Jeff couldn’t wait to come back. Not only was Underwater Academy exciting, but he knew he found a friend in Dave. It had been a great day.

 Has I sleeping in the plane in the north pole and the siren go's on then boom! Then I woke up in the snow I got up and ran to look for salter. But 1 hour later passed out. I woke up in  stant worker shop. And then I walked to a elf. I woke up in my bed it was crimiss.  

 LONELY 

I was at home one day and I got an invite in the mail to a party. It said that the party would start at 1:00 pm on Sunday. So, had dinner than went to sleep. that morning I ate breakfast and got ready for the party. When I got to the party, I saw so a big glimmering disco ball hanging from the roof. I walked around for a bit and then I found the stage. There was a band called the Cobras playing on the stage. 

I went to see the cooking contest that was there. But it got boring, so I went to check out the dance floor. I danced for a bit and there was a red glowing square on the disco floor that looked a little lose so I put it back into place. When I was done dancing, I walked over to the food table and I fell onto the apple juice. My shirt was covered in apple juice, chicken strips, and chips. Everyone laughed at me. And I felt like a dog at a cat party. So, I got up and went home. That night I felt lonely and just decided to go to sleep. 

That morning I went to the host’s house and apologized for spilling all the apple juice. After that I felt a little better, but I was still thinking about the party while I ate breakfast. Eventually I set that problem aside and hoped that it would never happen again. 

 

Once upon a time there was a beast well known amoung the rendede population. They call it the flander now the flander was a very powerful and mean beast. He has the power tminipulate his surroundings like if he sees te ocean he can create a tsunami. If he sees a clif he can make it collaps.

Ray used his skills to go into a war were he gose into the spirtiturl world to yous his spiriturl knolweg to his advantege. After the fight Ray won and saved the rendede population. But then he ran into anouther problem his friend was lieng to him about something this thing is him and his friend were saveing up money together but ray and his friend agreed no to spend the money until they had enough to buy what they wanted. But rays friend spent a lot of the money and when ray asked he said that it was fine and that it wasn’t him spending the money but ray found out and then said im not helping you get your money. Ray got really sad his brother just said don’t lie to your friends then.

 

MY HUANTED HOUSE           BY: MATTHEW  10/29/2020 

 

There was a once a house this house was not just any house it was a large, rusty and smelt disgustingEvery night the moon would shine a light on the house. The locals believed the house was haunted. Anyone who dears to enter the house would never be seen again. But one day the sheriff department sent a search party for the people who went lost in the house. The search party gathered information on the house. They reported that there was corpses and bones everywhere and they also discovered that they were not alone. The door shut and the curtness closed. They were never seen again. 

 

One day I was invited to a Halloween bash, but I knew I had to cross the old haunted house to get there. So, I was scared to go there. I decided I would be brave and go. On my way a strange force was dragging my feet to the old, Rickity house. It felt like a hand pulling my feet. Soon after I was at the door. The house smelt bad there were strange voices coming from the house. I got paranoid of all the legends and roomers of the house. There was tall dead grass and dead corpses all around the house. I saw a big black crow on the tippy top of the roof. Through the window I could see a girl with no eyes and a dress full of blood. I started to panic but then I saw a cute little mouse, so I start to panic less when thinking about the cute little mouse. 

 

The house starts to shake the girl with no eyes was gone moments later the big rusty metal door opened there was a big black figure holding the girls corps. I heard a scream of help from the house. I was curious so I decided to talk to the big black figure I asked him who was screaming for help and he said YOUR NEXT! So, I ran as fast as possible I ran so far by the time, I realized how fast I ran I was at the Halloween bash I originally wanted to be. 

 

At the Halloween bash my friend said ‘’look!’’ standing there was the big black figure with a grin on his bloody and dirty face. We all ran screaming the black figure grabbed a kid by the arm and dragged him to the old and haunted house moments later screaming came from the house then the kids hat flew out the window I looked at it and it had blood all over it with a note that said ‘’PLEAS HELP ME!!’’ I shook nervously as I looked at the haunted house, I thought I should look for the kid, but I did not want to risk it. 

 

That night my legs shook as I thought about the big black figure. I could not sleep that night. In the morning I heard on the news the military sent special spy force to find out how all the kids went missing. Everyone was locking their doors and staying near their family. I was still interested on who or what that black figure was and how to avoid it. So that night I grabbed my binoculars and gathered as much details as possible on the house. Soon after I reported this information to the F.B.I. And they were shocked about what I reported.  

The big black figure turned out to be a dark spirit sent by the devil to try and infiltrate planet earth. I decided to run back to the house and check it out. Their I saw the black figure with a big crow sitting on his arm. The big black figure saw me, so I quickly ran away. While I was running away, I heard the figure laughing quietly. 

 

The black figure looked human like with long arms and a skinny body. It was like 10 to 20 feet tall and strong he was able to pick up multiple people with one arm. His feet were dirty, and his body was covered in blood. He had small green eyes and his mouth had 6 rows of razor-sharp teeth. And slimy stuff would ooze out of his ears. He looked disgusting. He also had claws on his fingers. And he had a black top hat. Under the hat he had a shiny bald head with patches of blood on it.  MAKE SURE TO THINK BEFOR YOU ACT!! 

 

MY UNDERWATER STORY 

 11/5/2020 

 

Underwater just below the surface there is colorful and small fish Glimmering in the crystal-clear water. A bit farther down there is large sharks with razor sharp teeth and a fears attitude. Even farther down there is the twilight zone. It contains little life with giant squid, jellyfish and sperm whales that will dive down occasionally, for food. Closer to the bottom of the see floor is the midnight zone. It has little to no light. Fish down there have teeth like knives and some even glow. It's called bioluminescence. Then lastly at the ocean floor the lowest point in the ocean. The water is cold like ice, the pressure of the deep-water crushes like a wrecking ball. There is no life and no light. It's like if every living thing was dead. Going down there is one of the most dangerous places ever. Because of the pressure. 

On the beach Sid lays with comfort on the soft, warm sand. He was ready for under water school. He had light brown hair and eyes green like grass. So, he swims to his futuristic looking pod. He goes inside and thinks to himself ‘’wow, this is cool!’’ soon the teacher arrives, and Sid jumps out of his seat saying ‘’omg it’s a lobster!?’’ The teacher sits down saying “yes I'm a lobster’’ Sid gets ready for class with his books. The school is made of big colorful coral and small rocks.  

The teacher had large black eyes and a beautiful tail. The students are all fish except for Sid. He started to write down what the school was like in his notebook. When school started the teacher got her white board out it was made of a smooth white rock. The teacher took attendance everyone was there. When the teacher wrote down what we were doing for the day Sid asked, "what's that you're writing with?” the teacher replied ‘’its squid ink” Sid wrote that down in his notebook like all the other amazing details about the underwater school. 

Sid makes some friends at lunch time. Like Garald the garibaldi. And Maddie the Mino. There were so many students Sid got to see like Shemmy the shark, squiggly the squid, creamy the crab and terry the tuna fish. Sid then came across the bully starry the sting ray. Starry was mean and would always pick on Maddie the Mino. After lunch he went back to work and an hour later school ended. And he was released to finally go home.  

 

Sid was amazed while thinking about the underwater school. He thought to himself I want to go back tomorrow he loved the school, and he had a great day! When he got home, he started to show his drawings and notes to his mom. “this is a really cool school!” his mom shouted. She said, “I will let you go back if you make sure you're doing good in math.” Sid was so excited to go back tomorrow and see all his great friends. 

 

10 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT WINTER 

I really like skiing and going up to my grandma's house foChristmas at my grandmother's house it snows everywhere. I liked baking gingerbread cookies at Christmas time with my family. One of my favorite things about winter is the fact that I can drink a lot of hot cocoa and have snowball fights with my sister. In the wintertime I feel cold but with some hot cocoa my stomach gets all warm inside. But my number 1 favorite thing about winter is a nice break from homework. Getting a long break from homework is one good Christmas gift!

Lonely 

One day I was just playing video games when my Mom called my name. When came out, she told me I was invited to a party at pump it up. by my only friend I only wanted to go cuss he was going. it was today at 3:15 pm. 

 We had 3 hours to get there. When we got there were a bunch of kids that where from my school that hatted me and the bullies. And then I got a text my only friend he said he could not come because there was too much traffic. I was bemudded out. “I asked my mom if I could go home, she said no because we took a 1-hour drive here, we are not leveeing now!   

The ground is blue and soft. The celling is black and dark. 

The Walls are red and orange, and the walls are 6feet wide. There where balloons everywhere the table has drinks and food to feed ablest 75 people 

flew kids are doing back flips and fount flips; The parent and the children are yelling really load. Charles and the other bully were playing doge ball. got up from my chair.  

Everyone laughing at me and the Bullys were telling people how dumb I am even though I'm not, but its Relly the Bullys who are dumb.” At this point I did not care I just ignored everyone and played alone. This is how it feels to be alone.  

 
The black rex wonted to destroy the city with out getting cAUGH so he knew because is black the best time to strike was at night when he did all people heard has load nosices and because he was black when they looked up they would see his head but beuase he was black you only saw the feet and the rest of the body was like invisible and because he dint just attack in right away people thot it was a earth quake so when they went in side it was time to strike and it work out perfict no one saw. The problem was that the black ranks did not want to be seen. The lesson was that black rex knew the best time to strike was at night beuase he was black and he was camofloshed so no one could see him

On Thursday a haunted house was found in the woods surrounded by a Lake, so I went to check it out. I instantly regretted it. There was coffins everywhere. It gets even more creepy the sky is pitch black. The crow watching me like they're going to attack me. The water was red and making creepy sounds. When I walked over the bridge to the house. once I stepped on the island with the house. the bridge fell right when I stepped off it. I quickly got my phone and looked up this place and this place were apparently one of the most haunted houses in the world. So, when I went up to the door it was all covered in blood. When I saw that I know it was the end unless I figure out a way to get off the island. And there was a sign on the door that says get out unless you want to die. So, when I saw that I knew I needed to call someone to help me, but my phone had died. So, when that happened, I knew it was over.  

But I was desperate to live so I went inside the house and found some broken planks. But this is where the ghost comes right as I was about to run out the door with some planks to try to get over the water the ghost looked me in. When that happened, I thought about the window I said to myself maybe the window is open. I I could see the open window. I ran and jumped right out the window. When I jumped out the window, I landed in a bunch of bushes but I was fine. I still had the wood so I used it to get across the water and I ran as fast as I could and never came back. I learned never go to haunted house alone and never go to them.

 Liz’s Under Water Field Trip. 

 

 

The Dolphins are jumping out of the water.  The water is shining like the sun. The sort waves are moving the water around. It is very silent.  the dolphins are moving with the current and the sharks are lurking in the water.  

 One day Liz went on a field trip they got there Liz was nervous to get in the pod. But she got in the pod. Her teacher is a crab. Liz was in the pod watching fish she made some fish friends. Her teacher was tired of swimming. So, she went on the surface to get some rest. Lizs goal is to find a great white shark.  

So, she went alone to find one she was scared. but she wanted to see a great white shark so bad. she was out there for about 2 hours. And dint find one. So she went up to get her teacher for some advice to find a great white shark. Her teacher said look for big fins and a spot that’s not deep or high find a spot that’s looks just right. So Liz looked for big fins and looked at spot that’s a not to deep and not too highAnd right out of the ordinary there it was a great white shark. It was a female one to and she knew that because it was way bigger than a male. 

 She was watching the great white shark and the female great white shark was moving weird, but Liz saw why the female great white shark had baby. And because Liz saw that Liz she was super interested now. But the teacher yelled it time to go class, so she left and went to the shore and she talked all about and the baby great whites and the female great white all day. And she said this was the best day of her life.

"The sad truth is the truth is sad." 

  — Lemony Snicket, The Hostile Hospital 

Radiantjumbled up, glowsticks are in a basket in the corner. Lit upcolor changing, dance floor shine next to the red sweet fruit punch, and colorful satisfying lava lamps. Flashy paper posters of peacocks with their graceful feathers made it look alive. Small transparent balloons with golden, ribbon-like, strings float right next to the miniature reflective disco ball ornaments. 

It was the day before spring break, and I was excited about the party. I went to the party and nobody was there. I read the poster again and it was scheduled after the spring break not before. “Oh no. I have to wait after spring break?”, I shouted unexcitedly.  

After spring break, I was walking to school. Suddenly, I saw a colorful bird on a tree with royal feathers. I observed at it for a while until, I was almost late for school. I now sprinted all the way to school. 

  Time went by so fast, that the school teaching sessions are two hours long but, it felt like two minutes. At recess, there was unusually a lot more plants and animals than I rememberedThere are even species that had never been here before. There are tiny finches with rose feathers. Fat squirrels eating nuts, and lizards hunting for insects. More poison ivy and dandelions flourished. Everything looks fake, but its real. 

The party started imminently after recess and I was almost late. The royal bird flew all the way to the school, perching on the skinny branches. I rushed my way to the 4th grade school dance party. Finally, I made it to the party, there are bright lights, mini disco ball ornaments, and cupcakes that look like birds. 

One of the assistants accidently spilled a little bit of fruit punch. The assistants had so many things to do, they ignored the minor spill. Ants started to flood in to drink the fruit punch that had been spilled. Soon, a frog started to hop in to eat all the insects. I ignored the fact that there were ants and a frog in the party. I tried to eat the cupcake but instead, the frog hopped on the table and slammed cupcake right onto my face. 

I went outside of the party with an unusual sight, the bird with royal feathers, hobbling on one leg. I tried to release the bird but, it didn’t even fly away. I soon realized that the bird has a broken leg and wing. I set up a cage outside with all its needs to survive. After a few months, the bird is all better. I was glad that I at least one companion that is a bird. 

 

 

The Duck, the Lizard, and the Grasshopper  

 One day in the middle of autumn, there was a duck in the middle of the pond. The duck found the grasshopper and thelizard storing plants and insects. Why are you storing plants and insects?" the duck said. “We are storing food for the winter; it’s going to be zero degrees Celsius” the grasshopper said. It’s going to be at least two point three Celsius, also I am not going to store food for the winter” the duck said. “Good luck without food for six months" the lizard said. There is going to be food you're going to miss out” said the duck. The days grew colder each night until winter came and the duck realized that there was no food in sight. The duck found grasshopper’s den and the duck said “grasshopper”. The grasshopper said, why did you wake me upI was sleeping until you woke me up. “Do you have any food”, said the duck. I ate all the food and good night! The duck found lizard’s house and the duck knocked. The lizard said, I will keep three insects and you can have the rest of the insects. I realized that I only need one insect every month and next time, prepare for the unexpected.

The Haunted House 

         There is dead brown grass around the dark abandoned house. Big hairy spiders roam around the grass and the pathway. Old rusty fences are around the haunted house. Transparent shattered windows fragments were everywhere around the grass. Wispy but sticky webs blew with the wind. Rotting unknown trees were all over the place. White lightweight ghosts were scared and flew away. Black dirty crows called during the night. 

I was trying to find animals around the woods, but I found a strange house in the middle of the forest. I came home and went to sleep. Soon, I was bugged about the house. I took a flashlight and quietly snook out to find the house. 

I finally found the house that was abandoned in the cold ecosystem. It smelled like old cheese and looked like the door has tunnels filled with termites. A gecko skittered across the door and ran right away. 

A black cat with green eyes slightly rubbed its face on the door and the door opened. The cat jumped up to a bookshelf as I walked through the squeaky house. On a torn-up rug, a red yarn ball was on the middle of the rug. I picked up the yarn ball and the black cat jumped down to the couch 

At first, the cat clawed the chair and chewed on the fluffy pillows. Second the cat wagged its tail furiously at me. Then, other cats came from the shadows. Finally, I realized that I was surrounded by cats. One of the calico cats went meow and held on to me. I tried to run away but, the tabby bit me. I let go of the red yarn ball and ran away. Soon, the cat scurried and played with red yarn ball. I learned that to never trust stray animals.

Underwater School 

 

Gooey grumpy blobfish slide across the sand. Stringy bioluminescence jellyfish flout like butterflies in the ocean. Wavey green seaweed move with the currents. Dense small sand particles get disturbed when the waves roll in. Bright colorful coral reefs are home to many species of fish. Scaley hard shelled turtles glide through the ocean. Grey playful dolphins jump and never steal food. White flighty seagulls get scared by the dolphins and fly away. 

Liz is nervous about the first day of school. He wanted to study the ocean but, he had a phobia of sharks. Liz decided to go to ocean class and withstand his fear. He was nervous but, he is excited. 

Liz had a pod made of metal and glass covered in blue paint. The pod can go up to thirty-five mph. He pushed the pod in shallow waters and then hopped in the pod.  

Liz tried to find the underwater school but, he was lost. Soon, Liz found a school of fish and a lobster. The lobster teacher was using mats of kelp as a whiteboard. Liz was very confused about a lobster as a teacher and fish as students. Later, he got used to having a lobster as a teacher. 

He really liked the fish but, there one student that was a shark. At first, Liz thought that the shark was a bully but, the shark was a friend. Soon, he had to go back to the land. He went back to land and it was a good day. He learned that it takes time to get use to new things. 

 

 

Over Coming an Obstacle  

 

Once upon a time, the duck waddled out water to get his feathers groomed. He looked up to see lizard on the tree doing nothing at all. The duck flew up to the tree to see what's going on. Soon the duck found grasshopper on a branch. The grasshopper was ready to jump onto a thick branch a few feet away from the branch he was on. The duck tried to stop the grasshopper from jumping onto the other branch. The grasshopper jumped oveduck and got to the other branch. The grasshopper overcame his obstacle.

Lonely 

`It is lonely when you’re among people, too,` said the snake.” 

The littered, firm cement would clack at the step of shoes. People driving cars with colors of white, black, and silver jerked their foot on the break as they waited for students to make their way across the guiding crosswalk. The slight wind pushed softly against the green, bushy trees and the colorful, welcoming flowers. Busy mothers ran errands, rushing in and out of stores as the white, puffy clouds slowly moved across the joyful, blue sky. 

It had been my first day at my new school, which was surprisingly decent. My family had to move since my dad had gotten a new job. It had not been clear whether anyone considered me a friend yet, but everyone stopped by to say “hello” whenever I walked past them. I had just finished walking home and arrived back to my new house, which had two floors- the top with a balcony, which was my personal favorite part since our last house didn’t have one. Our home was painted pure white, and our front yard grew soft grass and sunflowers that would make your face beam whenever you saw them. 

I stepped through the doors, greeted my mother who was in the kitchen, grabbed a snack and rushed to begin my homework. Our math teacherMr. Johnson, had been kind to reduce the amount of homework assigned because it was only the first day of 6th grade. It was when I turned my computer on when I heard a “DING!” which was the notification for a new email. A moment later, a gray bar slid in from the bottom left side of my screen. In the bar was the email’s title: “Welcome to Middle School Party”. Interested, I clicked on the email to get more info. It read: 

“Dear all new coming 6th graders, 

Welcome to Lincoln Intermediate School! I am the principal, Mrs. Johnson- as you may have already heard, the wife of one of our math teachers, Mr. Johnson. This email has been sent to you and all other 6th graders as an invitation to what we call, “Welcome to Middle School Party”! Of course, it is optional to be there, but we highly recommend it as there will be good food, punch, soda, dessert, games, and dancing! It also gives a big opportunity to greet other 6th graders who could possibly become your new friends! Exploring the campus to get more of an idea where your classes are is too, allowed. The event takes place just a week from now, July 18, from 6:00-9:00 P.M.! We hope to see you there! 

Sincerely, 

Principal Johnson 

For a moment, I sat in my chair, my hand rested on my mouse. Then, I began to reread it. I didn’t like parties very much, but it did sound like a good way to get started at my new school. I thought about it. Do I have a fancy dress to wear? Do I have matching slippers? Should I go and try to make new friends? 

At first I thought to myself, It won’t matter that I am new to this area- all the rest of the 6th graders are new to Lincoln Intermediate tooBut then I considered that many of the 6th graders might know each other from their past years in elementary school. After that realization, I let my idea drop, but still explored the email, my mind switching back and forth. I’ll go. No, nobody will talk to me. What would be the point then? But what if people DO talk to me? 

After all, I had never even gone to a party- it was only the thought of it that bothered me. I decided it was good to try and do new things, so I discussed it with my mom- although, it was more of an asking for permission. 

“I agree with the principal,” she said. “It would be a wonderful opportunity to get started.” 

I was almost relieved she approved of it. I skipped back to my room with only a couple words and finished up my homework. I never thought I would be excited to go to a party, but I was! 

It was a week later, and I ran home from school as quick as I could. I had noticed my mind had gradually changed about to idea of a school gathering- with loud music and dancing. Now, I liked it very much, and as soon as I returned to my house, I ran to my room to get dressed. I put on my blue, frilly dress and my matching blue slippers. I was about to tell mom I was ready to go, but then I realized it was still 3:00 P.M. The hours went by slowly, and right when the clock showed 6:00, mom and I were out the door and driving to school. 

We arrived to the party. It looked much different than what it had looked like before, which was a plain brick building and nothing else. Now, colors and ribbons beamed as the music didn’t struggle to blast out the doors, making it hard to hear anything. A large, glittering disco ball spun swiftly on the ceiling, and the sound of laughter and cheering made me feel quite joyful. Glancing through the doors, I could see cupcakes, cinnamon treats, and donuts. I could see good food, like spaghetti, pizza, and fruit- as well as the promised punch. 

Waving goodbye to my mom and walking up the stairs, my heart slowly began to drop. Soon, I didn’t feel as excited as I was a couple seconds ago as I got closer and closer to the party. The music began to sound overwhelming. The many colors began to hurt my eyes. All the greasy food and desserts almost made my stomach sick. But my mom had already drove off now, and I was to stay until I said I would- 8:30. 

First, as I stepped in the doors, I tried to wave and say “hello” to everyone, but they were too busy talking and nobody noticed  

  1. Oh well, I’ll jump in a conversation later. 

I approached the food counter, wanting to serve myself some peperoni pizza and the red, ripe apples that rested in a beautiful design on a beautiful plate with other fruits like bananas, orange slices, blueberries, watermelon, and blackberries. As I reached for a plate, a group of people ran past me, and without realizing, pushed me out of the way. The plate then flew out of my hand and hit someone on the head. He was wearing a cream-white suit, his pants matching the color. He had a crimson-red tie. He turned around, and somehow, given the amount of people next to me, knew that it was my plate and they called out, “Hey, watch it!” 

“Sorry, it was an accident!” I tried to shout back over, but just then the music changed to a louder song and he couldn’t hear me. At least, my second attempt for a plate, pizza, and fruit was a success. After that incident, I started to feel a little less sure of myself being at the Welcome to Middle School Party. Looking for a place to sit, I shuffled around aimlessly, with my arms stiff and close to my body. I held my plate close to my chest. 

I suddenly felt a little better after I saw a group of girls and boys sitting at a table in the corner of the room having a casual conversation. They were wearing neutral colors- it was almost relieving not to see such bright sightsI approached the table when I realized one of the boys was the boy I hit with my plate. 

“Hey, this is that girl I was telling you all about,” he laughed mockingly, loud enough for some people around to hear. “The one with the plate!” 

Suddenly, a lot of the sounds around me were canceled out by laughter. Then, they all began to shout, “Plate thrower! Plate thrower!” 

More humiliated than I had ever felt before, I quickly dashed out of the crowd into a quieter place with the people who had not heard the commotion. My cheeks burned red, and I was not sure whether it was a red of anger or a red of embarrassment- maybe it was a combination of the two. I had thought I heard whispering around me, but I shrugged it off and ignored it. 

I figured some punch would make me feel better. The fruity drink was a bold, vibrant red. I poured some into a glass and walked off, sipping the refreshing liquid. I heard the whispering again, but this time it was below me. Still moving my legs, I looked down. But I looked down too late. The same boy was there, with the cream-white suit and pants with the crimson-red tie, and before I could figure out what he was doing below me, he stuck out his hand and tripped me over.  

I stood up immediately, anger heating the blood flowing inside me. Then, that anger faded away. Suddenly, I felt a wave of amusementto his surprise, or I should say both our surprises- the red punch had spilled all over his suit and stained it. His jaw dropped, and with nothing else to say, he lied and shouted to everyone, “She pretended to trip over just so she could spill her juice all over my suit! And you all know what she did with the plate!” 

I protested. “Come on, you ALL saw what he did! And I didn’t even mean to throw the plate, I was knocked over and it flew out of my hand and hit him on the head. I even apologized for that!” and then, under my breath, I said, “Though I wish I hadn’t.” 

The people around us whispered, and though I could not hear the words they spoke, I knew they were all discussing whether to believe him or me. 

The conversation ended up in a tie. Some people, who had known him in elementary, saw no reason to believe a stranger rather than their old friend. Others, however, thought my side of the story was more reasonable and believable than his. A few people didn’t know what to think. 

When everyone walked away, he approached me and whispered, “You’ve just made your entire 6th, 7th, and 8th grade here tough, new kid. You’d better watch your back.” Then, a hand rested on his shoulders.  

Mrs. Johnson? My mind suddenly felt looser and light. 

“Hello Zack,” she said in a firm voice. “Please come to the side with me. I’d like to speak with you.” 

His face turned pale as he silently, with no words, followed Mrs. Johnson to the side. But then my head went heavy and stiff again. I was still mad. I stormed off and found my way out the door and sat down in the quiet, starry night. The refreshing wind blew softly against my hair, and the hard, cool cement under me almost distinguished the heat in my cheeks. But I was still very disappointed with how the party turned out. But the thought that surely not every 6th grader at the party was a bully made me reconsider going back in. 

I checked my phone. 8:00. That was two hours? I looked up at the sky, noticing how the color of the blue had changed, then looked back down at the time. I can’t believe that was two hours. Then, I heard footsteps behind me. A voice greeted me and sat by my side. He told me he saw what had happened. He said he was sorry that he didn’t do anything, but notified me he believed me and not Zack. 

“You don’t have to be sorry,” I said, not bothering to lift my head and look at him. “Nobody else did anything, anyways.” 

He began to say, “I just thought maybe-“ but then paused. He stuttered for a moment, then spoke, “Reagan?” 

Recognizing his voice saying my name from somewhere, I lifted my head and right then and there knew- it was my old friend from my other school in elementary! He had moved to Florida too! 

Standing up, I asked, “A-Aidan? Is that you?” 

“Yes!” 

“Why’d you move here?” 

He told me the entire story. He told me his father had lost his job because the business was shut down and couldn’t find any other good jobs to apply for. So, they researched good occupations and found many great options in Florida, and as a result, moved to the state as well. I was in disbelief, relief, and joy all at the same timeHe told me he had other friends he had made earlier at the party and introduced them to me. Their names were Jasmine, Sarah, Cole, and Joseph. They were all very happy to welcome me into the group, and I was too.  

It ended up Zack was too much of a coward to do what he said: make my years at Lincoln Intermediate tough. But me? I was not- of course, I encountered other bullies while at my new school, but unlike Zack, I pushed my way through those people and made it to the end happily and successfully graduated.  

I learned many lessons at Lincoln Intermediate: responsibilitygroup projects, the ability to accept a big change. But that day at the party may have been one of the most important of all- the knowing of what it feels like to be lonely. 

 

 

 

 

The Rabbit’s New Home 

Once upon a time, a small rabbit was climbing up a large mountainlooking for fresh grass that had grown after the snow had melted into water. The grass down by his burrow had been eaten by greedy cows- the rabbit had to eat the grass from the high mountain. 

“It’s a shame of those greedy cows,” he muttered to himself. “I do not want to climb up this large mountain everyday just for grass. I must think of an idea to find my food in a not so tedious way.” 

Then, an idea came to the rabbit’s mind. I will make a new home up in this mountain! He thought joyfully. He gathered his grass and put in inside his basket. He ate a little, for energy to make his new home. He found a cave- that happened to have a nice deep patch of dirt in it- perfect for making a burrow. He began to dig, when a big growl came from the cave. It was so loud, it pushed the rabbit back and caused him to fall over. 

“Who goes there?!” The low voice demanded. “Who is digging in MY cave?” 

The little rabbit was not like other rabbits- he was bold. He stamped his foot and said back, “This is MY cave now!” 

The beast crept forward. Claws. Head. Wings. TEETH. Just in time, the rabbit hopped out of reach from the snap of the beast’s jaws. 

Great Carrots! The rabbit thought. It’s one of the legendary dragons! 

“I am very hungry, and I have just the right appetite to eat you right up!” He growled.  

Maybe I will try bribery, The rabbit thought. “How about,” he said, “I give you carrots! If I give you 10 carrots, will you let me make a home in your cave?” 

“NO!” the dragon roared.  

I can try reverse phycology, The rabbit thought. “Oh yes, you can eat me up.” he said. “You will not get any carrots. I want to be eaten. You may eat me anytime. You can roast me over a fire and eat me.” 

“Do not try and trick me, foolish rabbit!” He exploded.  

Desperate, the rabbit tried to reason with the dragon. “Please, don’t eat me. I just want to make another home. The grass down there is all taken up because of the greedy cows. I do not want to climb this mountain every day.” He begged. 

“I can eat you, and stop your climbs!” He said. He opened his mouth, right when the rabbit reached a dead end. He curled up into a ball and closed his eyes, waiting to be eaten. 

The dragon stopped. He closed his mouth. He looked down at the helpless little rabbit, who just wanted a home in the mountains. A good rabbit who had done nothing to the dragon. The dragon stepped back. His angry face disappeared. He picked up the rabbit and moved him to the patch of dirt, where his basket of grass lay.  

“I will not eat you,” he said politely. “You may make your home here. After all, it’s the least I can give.” 

The rabbit opened his eyes. “You mean,” he said softly, “You will not eat me?” 

“No, I won't,” he said. “I will share with you.” 

And forever, the dragon and rabbit lived together, and became friends. The dragon protected the rabbit, and surprisingly the rabbit could protect the dragon. After all, if you have a lot, it’s not hard to give a little.

Mr. Wereson and His Haunted House 

The long, tan, dead grass had buzzing flies that flew around and the biggest spiders would crawl about the ground. The sharp branches of the dead trees had no life in them-  along with the empty nothingness across the land. The foggy gray clouds themselves made the sky a cold, gloomy placeThe mournful wind howled, as the smell of dead rats filled the air. The solemn owls cried, “WhooWhoo!” But the most saddening sight was the gloomy, full moon that raised above in the sky, like a heartbroken king ruling the land. 

My friends and I gave a knock on the door. I shrieked as a large, black, and red spider landed on my flip-flop. Yes, I was wearing flip-flops. But I didn’t intend to. My friends and I were going on a trip to our local garden. We saw an unusual bird, and we followed it. We ran after it, not realizing our surroundings. All our eyes saw was the bird. But if flew up into the sky, slowly disappearing from sight. We lowered our heads.  

“Where are we?” I gasped, once our eyes had lowered. 

 We didn’t know where we were. It was a beautiful, green, and vibrant forest. We trenched along the muddy woods, until at a certain point in the forest, one half of the woods, the one we were in, ended. The other half was… dead. The branches were sharp and broken. The grass was tan and long. No life seemed to exist. But there was a sign on this part of the forest. It read: 

“Beware, travelers. For when you cross this line, your life is in jeopardy. For when you cross this line, you will never come back.” 

But out of our curiosity, we crossed the line. We crossed the line, not aware of all the dangers ahead. That is when we came upon the house. 

We examined the door. This was the door of a short but wide wooden shack. The windows were broken, and some glass pieces lay on the dead ground. An owl landed on top of the roof. It looked as though there were fountains- waterless, of course. It looked as though the whole house had not been used for a thousand years.  

We reluctantly gave a knock on the door. A second after we did, a light turned on exactly on the fifth window on the second floor. The next window over, a pair of big yellow eyes peered out the window. We gasped as their attention glued to us.  

“Hide!” I whispered. “Behind a rock. Climb up the trees. Just hide!” 

Whoever’s eyes those belonged to closed and we saw a pair of furry hands- or maybe claws is a better word- close the curtains, and the lights in the fifth window turned out. We gulped. Suddenly, the door creaked open. It was a small shack- nothing could happen in a house that small, right?  

We slowly walked inside the shack. But it was not small. Oh, not small at all! It was like magic! The house had expanded! It was much bigger than it looked on the outside. It must have been a mile long! But a low, dark and evil voice filled the room, destroying all the beautiful peacefulness in the house. 

“Greetings, visitors. I have been expecting you. It’s Reagan, Miles, and Skylar, yes?” 

“How do you know who we are?” Miles asked. 

“Bold of you to question me,” the beast roared. Then in a calmer voice, he said, “Everyone who crosses the line… the line splitting the forest and Werewolf Woods, I know about. All the information of the people who enter Werewolf Woods is given to my mind. It is because…” 

He stepped all the way into the light. We saw what he was. “Because I AM THE KING OF WEREWOLF WOODS!” he roared. He was a werewolf! But that was impossible. They were extinct! Unreal! Nonexistent! “So, I have a challenge for your survival in Werewolf Woods. If you pass, you will be taken back to your home. If you do not pass, in other words, get captured… you will stay here FOREVER! And so, my first challenge to you. It is… SCARY SKELETON ATTACK!” 

Suddenly, the floor broke into little pieces and we fell into a pit. Around us, strange red dots were printed on the walls. I touched one of them. Let’s just say, I learned the hard way not to touch red dots- when I did, skeletons came falling from all over the place! 

“Quick,” Skylar said, jerking her head over to me, “Give me a stick. I can get us out of this.” 

My eyes immediately glued to the ground, searching for a long stick. I found one! It was long, and it had sharp spikes on the end of it. I threw the stick to Skylar. She knocked down all the skeletons, and we completed challenge one. 

“You are good,” the werewolf said, as the floor began to go up out of the pit. “But can you survive… BAT BATTLE!!” 

The werewolf magically disappeared. I jerked my head around, and then bats came flying from a door (which had no handle to close), blinding us. I squinted my eyes. I spotted a rusty lever.  A switch! Maybe that would close the door. Miles was the closest to it. 

“Miles! See that switch?!” I yelled. I had to raise my voice so he could hear me over the screeching bats.  

“Yes!” He loudly replied.  

“Switch it off! It might close that door!” 

“Got it!” He answered. He carefully moved towards the switch, and used all his strength to pull it down. The door closed, and we all sighed in relief. But we turned pale with fear as we felt the werewolf touch our shoulders.  

“You are smart little children,” he growled. I could tell he was angry. He didn’t want us to pass the test. “But can you pass… my final… my greatest… my most wretched and horrible and despicable… MULTI-MONSTER-CHALLENGE! Let out the skeletons! Let out the zombies! Let out the bats and witches and cats! Oh, skiddly-doo, I am Mr. Wereson, king of Werewolf Woods, and you shall NEVER pass this challenge! 

Surrounding us, I could see skeletons to our right. They were like the ones we had fought before- but they were bigger. MUCH bigger- like the size of a 7-foot adult! I turned my head to the left. I spotted zombies- that actually looked quite buff- coming in our direction. Spiders began to come down from their webs on the ceiling. These were worse than the huge spiders outside! They had yellow stripes on their legs, and red dots on their backs. How were we to get out of this? We had no weapons. We were surrounded. Mr. Wereson would take no mercy on us, it was clear now. There were so many things to fight off! But then I realized it. I saw it- right behind Mr. Wereson! Behind him, I saw some switches. The first one read: 

“Flip this switch to activate: SCARY SKELETON ATTACK.” 

The second one said: “Flip this switch to activate: BAT BATTLE.” 

The third one said: “Flip this switch to activate: MULTI-MONSTER-CHALLENGE.” 

I saw it! The solution to our problems! If we switched it off, we would be able to escape! Mr. Wereson would have to keep his promise. He’d have to let us go!  

“Guys!” I yelled. “All three of us need to pull that switch off!” 

They nodded. “THREE!” I shouted. “TWO! ONE!” 

We ran past Mr. Werewolf with all our speed, and we pulled down the switch with all our might. As we looked behind ourselves, all the skeletons stopped moving. They turned around, and they began to walk out of the house. We looked up. The spiders stopped, and climbed up their webs. The zombies walked out the other door. We did it! 

“Well,” Mr. Wereson sighed. “You have passed the challenge. But there’s just ONE problem…” 

“What’s THAT?” Miles snapped. “We passed your challenges. Let us out!” 

“You see,” He said, sighing, with his face in his palms. “I can’t let you out. It’s my father who can. But I don’t know where he-“ 

Suddenly, a larger werewolf walked into the room. “MY DEAR SON!” He roared. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH OUR GUESTS?” 

Mr. Wereson was a liar! He was not the king. He was the FUTURE king of Werewolf Woods! This werewolf, right here, was the present king of Werewolf Woods. After listening to him give Mr. Wereson a lecture (and not a very kind one), He told us to grab his arm. 

“When I snap,” he explained, “You will go home.” And he did it. 

We arrived back home. Our parents were very worried, but happy we were back. That day, we learned our lesson.

Umi Attends Underwater School 

In the distance, the water was cool and smooth; yet near the shore, the excited, blue waves crashed down. The seagulls called, making the beach a peaceful place to be as they soared across the sky. The playful dolphins hopped and played along the boats. Under the water, there were waving, green kelp. Colorful schools of fish wiggled their way across the water; some were hidden inside the crevices of the big, rough rocks. The ocean floor was rather dark; The sunlight struggled to touch it. But the beautiful load of coral itself made the ocean floor a quite pleasant place. Starfish of many colors were attached to the rocks; crabs and lobsters crawled about the ground. The seashells you would think of would be pink and white. But the colors of the seashells on the sand were astonishing! Fantastic! Reds and blues and oranges and greens, all the colors you could think of. 

Umi was nervous for her first day of underwater school. She had never gone underwater for school, or in other words, for 6 hours straight. She did not get any sleep; the thought of being underwater without her parents, Mrs. Haigara and Mr. Haigara, made her palms sweat. 

She walked along the beach with Mrs. Haigara and Mr. Haigara, approaching the pods to go underwater. The pods were clean and white; it reminded Umi of a submarine. She moved her hand across the metal; it was smooth as glass.  

Mrs. Haigara smiled and said, “Have a great first day of your 4th grade underwater school! We are going to leave in our car now. We’ll be here to pick you up at 2:30 PM!” 

They left the beach, having a conversation that Umi could not hear. She turned her head around, her eyes fixed on the pod. She paced back and forth. She muttered to herself. “Well, it’s scary... but my mother and father would be proud of me... but it’s dangerous...” Struggling to think, she thought of all the possible bad things that could happen. I could see a shark, she thought. Sharks are strong. They can break through glass, and possibly metal. Then it would eat me! Or, she continued in her thoughts. Or, a school of fish might swim all around me. Then I wouldn’t be able to see. Then I would get lost and never get back home! But then she thought of the odds. Those things were unlikely to happen. She made up her mind. She hopped in the pod. She took a deep breath, and wrapped her hands firmly on the controls. 

“Time to go to underwater school!” She exclaimed. 

When she arrived to the school, she realized this school was not much different from a reagular schools looks. It was made of rough, red bricks. Little fish and crabs swam and crawled into the school. At the top front of the building, there hang a shiny, golden bell. Umi drove her pod into the school.  

She turned her head left and right in the school hall, looking for the right class. The room she needed to go to was called, “Room B4, Ms. Karms’s”. Mrs. Karms was a lobster, and she was considered one of the best teachers at the school. Finally, she found the room. She opened the door, and greeted all her classmates. 

“Hello, students!” She exclaimed, clasping her hands together with much energy. Umi could already tell she liked her. “Today is your first day of school. Due to that, we are going to make all subjects of learning today into games! First, let’s get started with math.” 

“To start off with the year,” Ms. Karms began, starting to draw on the chalkboard, “We will review our multiplication tables- 1-12. But to make it fun, we will use flashcards! We will all shout out the answer when we see the problem on the flashcard. But if you are the last to say the answer, you unfortunately won’t move on to the next problems. Whoever is last wins!” 

This made Umi feal uneasy. You see, Umi was a shy girl. She did not like contests, or speaking in front of the whole class. 

At the end of the contest, Umi was 3rd place. Not too bad, She thought to herself, I thought I wouldn’t do as well. Umi felt a little spark of confidence. The 1st place winner swam to Umi. “Nice job,” he praised. “You are pretty good at math. My name is Sammy, in case you’re wondering.” Umi thanked Sammy. 

After playing another round of Fast Flashcards, Umi and the other fish were excused to recess. As Umi put on her swimming gear and exited her pod to go on the tunnel slides, she saw a small blue fish. He was being cornered by some big orange fish. They looked like 5th graders- and he looked almost a grade down- maybe even two. 

“How does it feel to not know how to read?” they teased. “You’re such a baby!”  

Umi felt upset. Being young and not knowing how to read was part of growing up. She decided to tell that to the big fish- even if they were older than her. She took a deep breath, and swam to them and said, “Hey, you shouldn’t say that. Not knowing how to read as well as older kids is a part of growing up. Once, you didn’t know how to read either!” 

They stood still. They glared at Umi, but inside they felt defeated. Without another word, they swam away in a huff, looking back at Umi every couple seconds. The little blue fish thanked Umi. Umi felt another spark of confidence, but this time it was bigger. 

Back at class, it was time to read. Ms. Krams chose a fun story about a first day of school. After 5 paragraphs being read, Umi was called on- but Ms. Krams must have mistaken Umi’s stretching for a raised hand. Umi looked down at the page. There was a word she could not read. She gulped. She took a deep breath, and began to read. She got to the word she could not read. She sounded it out. “con-fi-dent-ly,” she said slowly. “Confidently.” After she finished her page, her smile beamed and her heart was beating fast with joy.  

At lunch recess, she saw the same mean fish at the playground. Mrs. And Mr. Haigara had always told her that you should stay away from bullies when they aren’t bothering you. So, she turned around the other direction and figured she could go on the swing instead. Swimming in her ocean gear, she headed towards the swings. But the big fish zoomed right in front of her, almost making her lose her balance.  

“I bet you think you’re tough,” the first fish said. “For standing up to `baby fish`.” Then they began to howl with laughter. “I think you’re a baby too.” 

“I’m not a baby,” she said, “and I can prove it.” 

“Okay, then. What’s the square root of 144?” 

Square root? Umi thought. There’s no such thing. If anything, they are babyish for making math up. 

There’s no such thing as a square root,” Umi said. “It’s babyish for YOU to make up math.” 

This got the fish so badly they fell down on the sand, laughing so hard it was like they couldn’t breath 

“No, a square root is just a kind of math that BABIES haven’t learned yet!” The second fish said, still catching his breath from laughter.  

Umi WAS  a 4th grader- she didn’t know as well as 5th graders did. Assuming they were telling the truth, Umi’s cheeks began to turn red and her palms began to sweat. Her face burned with embarrassment, and tears began to roll from her eyes. She didn’t know how to beat the bullies, and she was outnumbered. 

“Hey, you there!” called a voice. “If you are older than Umi, you’re closer to being a cranky old fish!” 

The fish turned around, with angry frowns on their faces. They gasped. Umi gasped as well. This was not a teacher. This was not someone on yard-duty. This was not a staff of any kind. This was the little blue fish, the one that Umi had saved from the bullies. Behind him was Sammy, the winner of Fast Flashcards. 

“I decided I owed you one,” the little blue fish said. “I decided I’d save you from these cranky old fish. 

“Call me a cranky old fish ONE MORE TIME!” The first fish said angrily. 

“Come on Umi, let’s go and ignore the cranky old fish.” 

“AHH!” screamed the fish together. Umi walked past laughing.  

When the day was over, Umi, the little blue fish who Umi found out’s name was Karina, and Sammy, were all friends.  

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” Umi said, waving to her friends as they swam down in the sea and she arrived at the shore. She saw Mr. and Mrs. Haigara waiting for her at the car. Umi told them a summary of her day. 

“First, I met our teacher. She’s very energetic, and her name is Ms. Krams! I also got 3rd place in a game called Fun Flashcards, and I met the 1st place winner, whose name is Sammy. Next, I went to recess and saved a little blue fish whose name is Karina from two big bully fish! Then, I sounded out a word ALL BY MYSELF!” She exclaimed, making many hand gestures. “But the best part was when Karina and Sammy saved me from the two bully fish and when we decided to become good friends.” 

“That’s great, honey!” Mr. Haigara exclaimed. “Sounds like you had a good day. 

As they walked back to their car, though the waves crashed, Umi could NOW hear Mr. and Mrs. Haigara having a conversation. 

“I can already tell this is a good school,” Mrs. Haigara chuckled. “She’s a confident and  changed person already.” 

That day, Umi learned that little acts of kindness can create friendships, and new friendships can change you into a better person.

An Important Oak Tree 

You may have heard stories that were told from rats, humans, even from toys- but I’ll bet you’ve never heard the exciting story of me, a tree. 

Many people think that trees are boring plants- all they are, at least people think, are big sticks in the ground with bunches of bushes on it that gives off oxygen. They don’t think we have a point of view. They don’t think, sadly enough, that trees have feelings- sadness, fear, happiness. But if you listen to this story, you’ll hear that I, in fact, saved a little boy’s life.             

There was a terrible storm- what humans call Hurricane Katrina. I can’t say I agree on everything the humans say, but I’ll agree that it was one of the worst storms in history. It was so vicious that it was the reason I’ll never see many of my friends again as long as I live- which is, for a tree like me, centuries. 

House crumbled apart, people ran out from toppling buildings. Suddenly, I heard a crack in my roots. Another one. And another. And another. The next thing I knew, I was floating in the water, not knowing what to do. The only thing I could do was wait.  

In fact, I did wait, for about half an hour or so as I floated down the flooded ground. The town, however, had not changed. People were still screaming. They were still running. Destruction proceeded. Then, next to me, I heard rhythmic splashing. As it got closer, I heard crying. I struggled as I titled my branches over to take a look at what it was. Funny enough, it was a little boy. He was alone. His arms wrapped around my trunk, and he climbed aboard.  

“Mom? Dad?” He yelled. I could tell he was lost. Then he jerked his head around when he heard a call: “Andrew! We see you! Come off that tree and swim to us!” 

He jumped off of me and thanked me though he knew I couldn’t thank him back- I don’t think that boy will ever know that I was aware. He leaped off my trunk just in time as I sunk down into the water. 

When I woke up once again, all my friends were standing next to me. I was in a field, a beautiful one with birds on my branches. I was firmly inside the ground. I knew right then and there that my life in earth was over, but instead of fretting this, I thought of the good. I was with my friends. I would never experience tragedy again. I saved a life, and most importantly, I served a purpose as a tree.

Characters 

Mr. Muffin [hamster] Mia [teen] 

 

 

18-2-21                                             

6 teens rushing up to the door as my brother opened it and greeted them one by one. They all yelled “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!” they all ran to the couch one snatched the remote and changed the channel I was watching the last episode of my favorite show they were only showing this episode ONCE EVER and I was about to find out the big secret was 

After a while they started to play mini golf on the mini golf course in our backyard, but one I wanted to play too but they had taken all the golf clubs and Ethan was using my Lucky golf club and my lucky golf ball I was so upset I saw him using it better than I did I started to become sad the whole day so far had been a complete wreck at least Alex was having fun. 

Then I walked over to Chloe and her and her friend Alice were playing dolls on the soft carpet of the living room floor, I asked if I could play too but Chloe replied by saying “no sorry we're already too far in the game for another person to join now go see if you can play mini golf with Alex and his friends oh and also if you don't mind Alex is going to use your doll I got it from the top of your desk in your room” then I grabbed Chloe and said Chloe come here! Mr. Muffin escaped from his cage again! “Alice stay right here and don't move!” shouted Chloe. I quickly ran to Mr. muffin's cage and grabbed Chloe and shut the door to Chloe's room. Chloe, you know my best friend Elizabeth got me that doll as a going away present for when we moved to Washington DC, I told you to never touch that doll Chloego put it back Alice can use one of your dolls” I told her. I went back to the couch and layed there. 

After a while I was hungry, so I went to the pantry to see that all the good snacks were GONE, even MY SPECIAL HOMEMADE COOKIE DOUGH GAR. I walked into the living room to find my cookie dough jar EMPTY. I saw my phone was missing and I went outside to find Mia [one of the teens] on my phone and hers laying on the couch! I went outside and gave her phone and Mia said “oh my gosh! I took the wrong phone! That’s why it kept saying the password was wrong and I think I disabled your phone for an hour sorryAhour later I had the chance to put the password in, but I GOT IT WRONG instead of 1 I put 2 now my phone was disabled for two whole hours! 

After I got back into my phone it was time for dinner. We were having tacos! I waited patiently for my brother Mia, Jake, and Ethan to get their food but when It was my turn all that was left were two chips and a little bit of salsa. Then Jake came running over because he forgot to get some berry red fruit punch so he got the biggest cup he could and as I was walking to the other table Jake ran to the table my brother, Mia, and Eathan were sitting at and JAKE RAN INTO ME AND ALL HIS BERRY RED FRUIT PUNCH SPILLED ALL OVER MBRAND-NEW WHITE DRESS! And then Jake yelled “OH dang That must suck! Hahaha" he ran back over to the fruit punch as if nothing had happened and he got a bigger cup and filled it to the very top and walked to the table but this time I waited for him to get to the table first. I ran to my room sobbing. Finally, at 10:00 P.M. Jakes mom came to pick him up, Eathan's sisters car drove up to the driveway and she yelled “EATHAN TIME TO GO HOME!” and then Mia hopped into her car and drove off 

All the teens had left, and I was ready for bed my parents wanted to sing happy birthday together as a family. We all sang “happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Alex happy birthday to you” ‘happy 17th birthday Alex!” my little sister Chloe shouted. In the end I had a terrible day, but I was glad that Alex and his friends had a great one. 

 

 Hi! My name is Greg the grasshopper I live in a wonderful mansion with the Wilsons I live in a big glass cabinet in Rose and Ava Wilsons room.  They feed me the world's finest leaves and they are freshly handpicked just for ME every single morning and 6:23 AM sharp! Every other week my home gets brand new interior but... lately I have been hearing Rose and Ava talking about getting a... GUINEA PIG!!!! A grasshopper's worst enemy but I also realized something after a while that whenever Mrs. Wilson (Rose and Ava’s Mom) walked into the room, the girls would hide me which was weird but at the time I thought nothing of it because I just didn’t want to lose my home or... my friends. Rose and Ava would take me out every single day so I could get some food on my own such as Mr. Wilsons lettuce from his amazing garden we would always play hide and seek and when he saw me, he would always run after we with a little net sort of thing a try to whack me with it silly old man! (but I soon learned we weren't playing hide and seek) But then on the worst day of my life ROSE AND AVA GOT A GUINEA PIG and they put him right next to MY cabinet they named him Peanut. Peanut would always try to annoy THIS IS WHERE to me and chase me around and eat me sometimes Peanut even asked if I wanted to come join him for dinner but of course I always declined his offer as I knew it was a trap and that I was the food! Although Rose and Ava still let me out all the time until one day they didn’t, and I didn’t get my leaves until 9:46 AM because they were too busy playing with Peanut. About a week later summer ended and it was time for the girls to go to school, and they were too much to rushed to notice that they had left Peanut’s cage open and the second the girls left the house Peanut ran out of the cage to try to escape from the house through a tiny crack in the window although I didn’t like Peanut to much at the time and was about to just let him escape it was at that moment I realized how much Peanut really meant to Rose and Ava as they had been saving up the money for a Guinea pig since before I had even met them and even though me and Peanut weren't very close at the time we were kind of siblings and we would have to live with each other for the rest of our lives. So, I broke out of my cabinet and  ran to close the window. but just before I could Peanut ran out and I ran out after him and then I asked Peanut “why are you leaving!?” “Well because all I ever wanted was human and a friend to talk to when the human is away, but I can clearly tell you DONT want me here infact you don’t even like me!” Peanut stated. And then at that moment I realized that Peanut wasn’t trying to annoy me he was trying to talk to me, and Peanut wasn’t trying to chase me and eat me he was asking me if I wanted to play a game with him and Peanut wasn’t planning on eating me Peanut had noticed that Rose and Ava weren't feeding me as often as they were before and instead was just trying to share the lovely freshly handpicked leaves with me as Peanut new that I had grown very fond of them. " I am very sorry and that I had misunderstood as I thought you didn’t think that I was the most pleasant grasshopper in the world, and I promise that from now on we  will play all day and I will come to your den every night to eat dinner with you!” I immediately stated I'm sorry too” said Peanut as we started walking home. And from that day forward I always ate dinner with Peanut and sometimes we even had sleep overs! Now me and Peanut are very close friends, and we have fun together every single day! 

 

Haunted House
On hallows road there is a creepy old broken down (said to be haunted)
House everyone calls it the Ghost Mansion or for short Ghost House. There are
many dead leaves that have fallen to the floor. The windows have been boarded
and there is much black fog in the air.
Me and my best friend Rose decided we were going to visit the haunted house to
grab a couple things from the house for the Halloween party. Mr. Elis Mr. Cackle and
Mr. Hallow were best friends as kids. Mr. Elis And Mr. Cackle lived in a two-person home
together when they were kids as for Mr. Hallow, he lived right next to their house for
two people. Mr. Elis and Mr. C loved the house so much! But the third family the
Hallows had lived in the two-person home before them, the Hallows warned them
about Delana’s spirt. Delana was an evil witch who had cursed the town and everyone in
it. The two-person home used to be hersso when she died the house was then called
the ghost house her spirt remained in the two-person home and haunt it till someone
could stop her.
Me and my best friend went to go find our friends lily and Ava to ask if they
would come to the haunted house with us, but we couldn’t find them. So, we just went
on our own and then when we walked into the ghost house THE DOOR SHUT CLOSED
AND LOCKED, WE WERE STUCK!
We were super scared and then we saw her. It was the ghost of Delana she said
“HAHAHA you’ll never escape” we were so scared that we ran up the stairs and went
right into the first room and again the door shut and locked. Then I saw a note that had
been framed and it was written in French it said, “clock on the wall clock on the desk
first clue has been found but where are the rest?” And then Rose said “look the times
on the clock on the wall is different! Maybe if they are both the right time at the same
time, we will be able to get out of here!” So, I climbed up on top of the dresser and as I
was. Looking at the clock in small writing I saw the world Walter Elison “THIS IS MR.
ELIS’S ROOM” I yelled. Rose said “Oh my gosh! It is!”
When we put the clocks to the same time the door opened! And then the
ghost's of Mr. Cackle Mr. Elis and Mr. Hallow appeared they all said “ you need
to find Delana’s old room that’s where you’ll find her crystal it’s the only thing
that will defeat her when you find the crystal say ‘spirts here spirts there take
them off the earth we share’ and all the spirts who died or went missing on the
day December 9
th 1999 (Delana’s birthday) will be taken to their final resting
place”
So, me and Rose ran up to the 3rd floor and found the latter that
lead to the attic Delana’s old room. Surprisingly it wasn’t a crawl space it
was very large and then in the middle of the room there was the crystal it
was glowing green, blue, purple, orange, and pink all at the same time. I
carefully picked it up and there she was Delana standing right in front of
me for the first time ever no had seen her face to face 80 years! But then
I remembered why we needed the crystal in the first place, it was to get
rid of Delana and at the same time we grabbed the crystal and said
“spirits here spirts there take them off the earth we share and then
Delana disappeared and the house looked as if it had been redone the
walls were white as snow and the floor was a beautiful marble color with
black and white.
Soon after looking in all the new rooms we walked down to the
last two room and I walked into one of the rooms Rose in the one next to
it. When I walked into the room, I saw all of things and Rose said she saw
all her things! When we both walked down to the kitchen both of our
moms and my mom said ‘how do you girls like the new house”
The End
That day I learned that anything can and does change

 

  

 Sea School 

             Long tailed rays graze across the sandy floors like horses on a farm Playfull dolphins play in the coral reefs. Lovely rainbow fish beautiful glowing squid. Calm elegant waves and whales blowing light blue water from their spouts. Lizzy was getting ready for sea school! Her mom drove her to the dock and there waiting was her shiny pink pod. She looked under the water she saw a strange old lobster wearing glasses next to a big tiger shark. But then the first bell rang Lizzy panicked sea school was starting in 10 minutes! The man there was very nice and as he helped Lizzy into the pod, as Lizzy was admiring the blue coral and then... the top of the pod had closed, and she was ready to go! 

The second Lizzy was lowered into the water there was a medium sized shark waiting right there for her and then he said, “Hello Lizzy I hear you are Sea School’s new student” Lizzy said, “Yes I am the new student, and my name is Lizzy what's your name? “My name is Mr. Shark come on follow me you can't be even a second late on your first day” as Lizzy followed Mr. Shark threw out the halls of coral he suddenly stopped and said “This is your classroom Lizzy hope you have a wonderful first day a school Mr. Shark swam away as the door opened Lizzy walked in and everyone was there except for Mrs. Lobster Lizzy was confused as for many years she had admired Mrs. Lobster from books and Lizzy knew that Mrs. Lobster was NEVER late for ANYTHING ever!!!! Lizzy knew there was something wrong when a great big mean shark swam in and said “Hello students I am Mrs. Lobsters brother I will be taking her place today call me Mr. Tiger Shark but DO NOT TELL MR. SHARK I AM HERE AT ALL”. 

 

Lizzy noticed some fish that were alone, so she told them about Mr. Tiger Shark, and they all knew that Mrs. Lobster had been taken the fish took me to many different places, but we couldn’t find her there was one place that Lizzy and the fish hadn't looked the forbidden salty seas. So, they went to the forbidden salty seas and there she was Lizzy yelled “YOU GUYS IT MRS. LOBSTER!!!!!!” Lizzy and the fish ran to Mrs. Lobster and she called the fish police and Mr. Tiger Shark was put in coral prison

There is an old elf on the shelf that lived in the north pole. His name is Alf, he was a grumpy old elf that had worked for the grinch. But one day.... the grinch got max. Alf HATED max so he left to work for Santa. Alf flew up to Santa one day and said, “Santa will you train me to be a Christmas elf?” Santa said, “yes Alf but on one condition when you grow you must become a house elf and you will be paired”. In the end Alf agreed but Alf also stated that he didn’t want to be paired with a mean green, black or blue elf Santa excepted Alf’s conditions and agreed to train him. Alf spent many many months training to be a Christmas house elf. Eventually it was almost December 1st elf deployment day where all house elves that didn’t have a house got paired. As Alf walked into the pairing room the reddest of all the red elves approached Alf and said “hi my name is tomato will you pair with me I have a great house we can hide at every year there are 3 kind kids that live there” “what are their names” Alf said, and tomato replied “you'll know when we’re there”

                                                        The Girl with the Same Clothes 

                                                                             

“And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all." 

 

Red, dull bricks stood beside all the children to make a wall. Children were laughing and talking to each other. The cold hard ground squeaked as the high heels of the teachers walked by. The sky is as bright as the shallow water in the blue ocean. Clouds were moving from side to side creating shade. 

As I walked through the school grounds, I saw a banner hanging on the wall by the cafeteria. I walked closer to only see a party invitation to the whole school! I sat down at an open lunch table, eating and thinking that the party would be fun! 

The day of the party came, and I was ready. My bold, white top glowed in the light of the sun and my jeweled jeans looked great! I was ready to have a great time! I made my way up to school and through the gates. I wandered all the way to the MPR for the party. When I reached the doorway, I froze with amazement. I stood in the doorway not making a sound. Shiny, red confetti filled the floor. Tables were filled with drinks, food and deserts. They were piled high; there was enough food to fill hundreds of people. Red, big balloons hung on the walls and a glistening; silver disco ball dangled down from the ceiling. 

 I walked deeper inside the party room with my black laced flat shoes. As I made my way to the dance floor, I notice that there was no one that I knew! Now I didn’t want to dance anymore. I went to the back of the room, where I found a chair. I sat down and now had a whole view of the MPR. As I watched everyone dance, I saw someone dancing in a white blouse, and with jeans that had sparkles on them. Also, the girl had black laced shoes, just like mine! When I looked at the rest of her clothes, she was wearing the same top that I had on and the same pants! Does she shop at the same store that I do? I thought, but the thought quickly went away. I didn’t want to be seen looking just like her. So, I tried to cover myself with my arms. Of course, everyone noticed! It was embarrassing. 

A half an hour later the students formed a circle on the dance floor. They were laughing and shouting at the person who was dancing in the middle of the ring. It looked like an enjoyable thing to do, so I got up and joined the group of students on the dance floorThe joyful children clapped their hands and cheered at the amazing dances. After the dancer in the circle was finished, another girl or boy came in and started dancing. Finally, I got enough courage to have a go to dance in the middle. 

I made my way in. When I was in the middle I started clapping and doing high knees like I was warming up for a tennis match. I thought my moves were stunning, but then I heard the laughter. People were sticking their tongues out and laughing while pointing at me. I felt my face feel hot with embarrassment. My cheeks felt hot, and I knew they must be crimson. I hung my head and ran back to the chair in the back of the room, tears streaming down my face. No one wanted to talk to me.  My head still low, I sat down.  I could still hear the laughter and I knew it was about me.  Then a kind gentle voice rang in my ear. 

“I’m sorry about that. I liked your dancing! It was unusual, but it looked like you were having a good time! That is what dancing is about right?” The calm voice said. wiped my tears with my sleeve and looked up to see the girl with the same outfit on that I was wearing! 

“My name is Mary and I really like your outfit!  What is your name?” the girl asked 

“Sybilla and I like your outfit too,” I responded.  We both laughed.   

“That is a beautiful name! Do you want to be friends?” Mary asked. I really wanted a friend! 

“Of course! Hey do you want to go to my house and play! It would be better than this party,” I asked looking straight into her eyes. 

“Yes! Come on let’s go!” Mary exclaimed and we both grinned. WE walked out of the party linking arms.  We were smiling the whole way home and I was happy to have a new friend. 

         
 
 The Flutist
Long ago, there lived a flutist. She was so beautiful and
played the flute like a dream. She was the best in the land, and
everyone admired her. Some people wanted the flute and
thought it was magic. Others thought it was pure talent.
Sometimes they would have fights in the land and that is where
it started. One day she was sitting by a pond practicing her
music, when something came up behind her. It was tall and
floated in the sky. It had no wings but had feet. The thing
covered all the shade and the sun. The girl stood up. “Hello,
what do you want with me?” The girl asked. “I want your flute!
You play it beautifully, and I hope I can do things with it.” the
creature told her. She looked shocked. The flute was her life
and her thing. She wanted it, but the creature that was in front
of her was 5 times as big. “No, you may not have my flute. It is
my life and my hope and dreams!” She told the big creature.
“I’m a cloud beak! A mix be twin a bird and a lion. I’m a fierce
animal and can get you really hurt!” The Cloud Beak told her.
She looked frightened and scared. She didn’t want to give up
her flute. “I know that you have been lying about this flute and
see yourself as a great person! You are not! You are a cheater
and a fool!” The Cloud Beak said. She did not know how this
creature knew that. It was impossible to read minds! She
wanted to get out of this problem fast and didn’t know how.
“Please can I go! I’ll give you my flute, only if you leave this land
and never touch a single soul!” the girl told him. “You have a
deal with me!” The creature told her. He picked up the flute
and left. From that day on she was known as the liar and the
cheater and she learned she didn’t need to be the most
popular, she needed to be kind and always tell the truth.

A Haunted House

Dead, moving, brown grass waves around like it is alive. In that grass little ears pop up. Under those ears are mischievous eyes and point like noses. There are many of them. Probably eight, nine, or ten. These are the little rats that live there. Closer to the house are spiky, curved, branched trees. There are many of them, too. All the trees are in rows. The branches move down and up. Even closer to the house is a white broken down, dirty fence. And on that fence are dead, curled, thorned roses. They might seem and sound spiky, but the roses are more than that. They have venom inside the thorns and rose petals. The house has 2 floors and has a pitched roof. There were several balconies were spreaded around the upper floor.

As I move up to the house, I feel a chill in the air. It is Halloween night and I'm lost from my trick or treating group. I keep walking to the trees. The grass is still waving under my feet. Now I'm starting to creep up. Shadows start moving around me, and I think someone is there. I stop and look behind myself. No one is walking to me, and I can’t see anyone. As I keep creeping up something grabs at my ankles. I look down. I see the grass grabbing at my ankles and tugging me into the ground! I tried to wiggle myself out, but it just wouldn’t work. I tried to try running to the forest. I started running soon after. Faster and faster and I went. Once I saw the trees, I knew that I was safe. So, I kept walking. I went past the forest of trees and to the fence of roses.

As I look at the roses, I feel like something is wrong. The petals of the flower are green. Roses are not green and well it seemed spooky. I jumped over the fence, not hitting any of the flowers. Now I'm on the doorsteps. I look up at the door and see something weird.

“That’s weird. It looks like there are snakes slithering up the door,” I stated to myself. I went up closer to the door and touched it. The door was slimy and wooden and very uneven. I wanted to knock, and come in, but something inside me said no. I really wanted to knock, so I moved closer to the door. Now I could see a knocker and the doorknob. The knocker had a ghost printed on it, and knob looked like witch cauldrons were flying around it. I took out my hand and put it on the knocker and I knocked three times. Once I finished it opened with a creek.

I peeked my head through the door and saw no one. I walked inside the house and looked around. Wallpaper was on all the walls, laps were lit everywhere, and there were several doors. A huge rug was placed around the floor. Dull colors were facing the ceiling. Gray, black, white, and brown. I walked further into the house and saw so much more. I kept walking, and walking, and walking until I saw a door opened. I went over to see what was in the door and saw something amazing. There were witches dancing in a ginormous ballroom and they were singing something.

“We will get them, we will track them, and we will catch them. The children are no match for us! We can out smart them and we can...make...them...disappear!” They croaked. It wasn’t very good singing, but that didn’t matter at that point. I was a child, and they wanted children! They wanted to track them, catch them, and make them disappear! My face drained with color and well I ran. I ran up the stairs and in a dark, creaking, empty room. I stayed there for a while, waiting to hear if the witches are walking up the stairs. I stood still the whole time. I didn’t want to stay in this creepy house. I wanted

to go home. Seconds later I heard something. Something that did not sound good. I thought I heard it behind me, but no. It was from the window. I walked over to the window and looked out of it. There in the middle of the grass was a werewolf. I gulped. I thought werewolves were in myths and stories! I didn’t feel so safe at this house. I wanted to rush out of the door and go back to the trick or treating group. I went out of the door as fast as I could and run down the stairs, too. I went past the witch door and straight to the dull rug. Then I finally saw the door. I put my hands on the handle and pushed, but it just wouldn’t budge.

I tried more and more times. Still the door wouldn’t open. Now I knew what happened. I was locked in the house. My face turned white after that. I didn’t want to disappear or get eaten by a werewolf! All I wanted was to go back to the trick or treating group and eat some candy. This was the worst Halloween ever! I stayed next to the door hoping it would open, but no, it did not. Now I gave up. It was no use trying to get out. I felt like I was going to trapped forever! I hung my head down low and started crying. I walked back up to the room where I hid from the witches and sat down on the ground. I heard more of the howls of the werewolf, and I felt a cold breeze go by. There was a pit in my stomach and in my thoughts, I was thinking how was I going to get out? I sat there longer and longer and longer, until something happened. Something exciting happened. I saw a light. A light coming from the window. The window from the roof! But that was very dangerous, and I knew better, but I wanted to get out right away. So, I looked around the room for anything that was tall. Nothing was there except a stool! I climbed on to it and raised my hands up high. The hands touched the window, and I pushed the window open. A cool breeze came into the house. It was not like the breeze I felt sitting on the ground, it was fresh air! I poked my head out and then squeezed my body through. It was a perfect fit! When I jumped on to the roof, I staggered a little. It was hard not to fall. Once I got to the point, I froze in my spot. I felt like I was slipping! Soon I lost my balance and fell! Down, down, down I slid all the way to the front of the fence with the flowers. I jumped over it once again and ran. I ran past the trees and into the waving grass. I pulled my feet from the grass as I ran, too. Finally, I was out of the boundaries of the house. That day I learned not to listen to my instincts with things that look not right.

                                              The Underwater School 

 

In the ocean, tan, beautiful, sand filled the bottom. Around the sand is dark, blue, water. Swimming furiously are different, long, toothed animals. They don’t look like normal sea animals, though. Above the twilight zone, are grey, vicious, roaming sharks and under those sharks are wavey, green kelp. Near all the kelp are colorful, swimming fish. They are rainbow, orange, and many more colors. The water is salty and untasteful, too. Above all the sharks, fish, and kelp, are living, bright coral reefs. Some fish are swimming in and out of the holes in the coral like they are excited for a new school year. Tiny, hustling minnows swim about their day. Keep on swimming, and there will be small, rare seashells. Where all the coral and fish are, the clear, blue water glistens in the shining sun. Right at the top of the water are playful, jumping dolphins. Huge, blue waves crash at the shore. The sun shines as bright as fire. Some seagulls fly and hit the water for their meal, fish. 

Katrina stopped at the beach and puts her flippers on. The sand is warm and happy, and she feels good to be there. Katrina has bright dirty blond hair, with twinkling blue eyes, and dimples when she smiles. She fells nervous and scared about what she was about to do. She is going to go to an underwater school. There would be fish, coral, and so many beautiful sights. She walked down to the water and felt it. The water was warm, and clear. She thought about the school and thought how it might look. Blue coral was made into a big school. Fish will be swimming by, and maybe she will see shells and kelp! She was nervous, but excited about this idea. 

Katrina hopped in the water and went into her pod. The pod was right at the shallow end when she got in. The pod was white as snow, and very heavy. She fit in perfectly and started moving around in the water. She went deep into the water, and to the kelp. She saw many, and it looked very pretty. When she looked up to go to the coral, she saw the sharks. They were roaming around and not paying attention to anything, so Katrina moved the pod straight up. Once she was where the coral was, she saw many fish, and the coral school.  

“Wow, this school it big and amazing! I would have never seen this coming!” Katrina said opening her jaw. She looked at it for a while until she looked at her waterproof watch, and it was time for school! She moved the pod up to the school and went inside. Everything was made of coral, and the walls were blue. Fish were swimming in and out to classes, and if you looked outside, the playground had big shells and more different colors of coral! Once she heard the bell, she knew she had to get to class. 

She went up and down the halls for a door that said, “Mr. Clawson the lobster”, but nothing said that. Once Katrina found the door, she opened it. When she moved the pod inside, crabs, fish, and lobsters were staring at her.  

“Aw! Miss. Katrina! Everyone, this is our new student. She is an animal above sea! Um, what do you call yourself, Katrina!” Mr. Clawson asked looking at her. Mr. Clawson had a ruby red, smooth, and shiny shell. He had a smile like no one else and had sharp claws like a shark's toothShe could tell that he didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of his students about not knowing this. 

“We call ourselves, humans or people, but everyone can call me Katrina,” Katrina explained to them politely. Mr. Clawson nodded and turned back to his students. 

“Well, Miss.Katrina, please go take a seat next to the orange crab over there.” Mr. Clawson said pointing to a chair. 

“I’m sorry, but I can’t sit down. This pod is way too big for a seat,” Katrina exclaimed sadly. “I'll just stand in the back and listen.” She moved her pod all the way to the back of the classroom and faced the board. The board looked like rocks combined with shells. It looked cool, and when Mr. Clawson started writing on the board, he did not use chalk like any other teacher Katrina had ever had. Mr. Clawson used his claws! They were so sharp and pointy they etched directly on the board. He was writing something that said a word. A word that was long. Katrina looked closer and it said, Field Trip. Katrina smiled and jumped up and down in here pod. She wanted to explore the ocean for the whole day! Some of the fish, crabs, and lobsters were happy, too. Once everyone calmed down, Mr. Clawson spoke. 

“We are going to go to the kelp forest to learn about the kelp with Mrs. Loppy, the shark! I think all of you will love this project. So, can everyone please pack some snacks and anything that you can fit into your kelp backpack,” Mr. Clawson said excitedly and went to his desk to pack his own things. Once everyone was ready, the class left the classroom and exited through the doors of the coral school.  

Some of the fish were friendly and some just ignored her when she tried to talk to them But with the friendly fish, she could talk about her life above the sea and talk about her family. The fish were interested in these stories and always asked for more details about her life above water 

“Well, I don’t have many friends, but my best friend name is Kelly. She always cheered me up when I was sad My school’s name was Mary Mount Elementary for 1st through 6th grade. It was a great school, but I was looking for more excitement. When I found out about doing school underwater and learning about the sea, I was thrilled!” Katrina added. The fish looked amazed. Katrina smiled and looked ahead. They were still moving to the kelp forest when they saw someone moving toward them. Mr. Clawson moved closer and smiled.  

“Hello Mrs. Loppy! How nice of you to come closer to us. I am so excited to see the kelp forestIt will be fun to learn all about the kelp. My students are excited, too,” Mr. Clawson exclaimed. The shark named Mrs. Loppy looked at them and then looked back to Mr. Clawson. 

“I am so happy that you found a time for you to come over. Well let's keep swimming and then we can go into the kelp forest,” Mrs. Loppy said happily and swam away from the class. They followed and once they got there, Mrs. Loppy led them into the kelp. The kelp was gleaming in the sun light. The light green plants were swaying back and forth in the water. They kept on swimming and Katrina steered her pod into the middle of the forest.  She was awed and amazed at the wonder of the kelp.  Suddenly, Mrs. Loppy noticed that Mr. Clawson was not with them.   

“Where is Mr. Clawson?” Mrs. Loppy asked. All the students looked around the kelp forest and back to Mrs. Loppy. No one knew where he was. This was a disaster! They were only there for a few minutes and he was now missing?  Katrina was lost in thought about what to do when she had an idea. 

“Did Mr. Clawson follow you into the kelp forest or is he still where we started?” Katrina asked Mrs. Loppy.  

“I do not know if he is there, but that might be an idea. We could go back to the beginning,” Mrs. Loppy said confidently and swam off. Everyone followed and when they came to the start of the forest, Mr. Clawson was being attacked by an octopus! All the students gasped. This was a very terrifying scene. Mr. Clawson was under the arms of the octopus and was screaming for help. Katrina wanted to help him, but she didn’t have anything with her that could save him! She looked around the water trying to concentrate on finding something to retrieve him from the arms of the octopus. A last she found it. It was a shell. Not bigger than her, but bigger than the fish. She moved her pod over to it and gestured to the fish to come over. The fish came like a bolt of lightning to the shell and picked it up with their fins. They looked at the shell and back at Katrina confused.  

“To help Mr. Clawson!” Katrina exclaimed. They swam over to the octopus. They all held the shell together and poked it into the octopus's skin! The octopus fell back and looked at the wound. The animal was scared and swam away, and Mr. Clawson was free! He floated in the water and smiled. 

“Thank you, Miss. Katrina, for your smart thinking! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten away from the octopus!” Mr. Clawson said relived and happy. All the students clapped and cheered. Katrina had the best day at the underwater school and learned that even the littlest of things can beat the biggest of obstacles.   

 

 

                                                                         A Christmas Miricle 

On a snowy day, elves were working. It was 5 Christmas and no presents had been finished! Winter, one of the elves was a nervous wreck and this was one of those days that she was freaking out. 

“Oh, how are we going to finish all of these in time! Santa will be mad and none of the children will get there presents!” Winter cried looking at her partner, Jingles. She was the only one freaking out on the present wrapping workshop, and everyone else was doing just fine. They only had 30 presents finished, and 450 to go!  

“It will be alright, if we work hard enough, night and day, I think we will fine,” Jingles reminded her and patted her on the back. She felt a little better and kept on working. Soon 2 days went past, and they only had 100 presents finished! It was better than nothing, but now everyone was freaking out just as much as Winter! 1 day went past, then another, and only 358 presents had to be done. Now it was Christmas Eve and Santa was loading his slay. He came over to the workshop to collect the presents and found a surprise.  

“Ho, ho, ho! What do we have here? Only 435 presents? Winter, Jingles, what happened?” Santa asked looking up into their eyes. 

“The business this year was slower, and we got fewer finished!” Jingles answered, his voice quivering.  

“Oh well! This is more than we need! Thank you for telling the present makers to make more!” Santa said gladly. He smiled his great smile and turned to leave. That day, both Winter and Jingles thought that it was a Christmas miricle!

Lonely  

Where are the people? 'It’s a little lonely in the desert…' 

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Princess 

 

There is a colorful red rug that is constantly getting stepped on. The ground has grey smelly shoes that smelled terrible. There are tiny colorful presents that looked well wrapped. And of course, there are big crumbs on the ground. Next to the table there was a king-sized chair that looked magnificent. The table had a very neat cake on it. On the table there were plan white platethat were well washed. Next to all the plates there were napkins with silver wear on the napkins. On the ceiling level there was a yellow big bounce house. There is a red long ribbon that says Happy Birthday.  

I’m Toby. My birthday is today so I'm going to invite all my friends, but first I have school. So, I grab my lunch off the kitchen table and leave my house. I get on my bike and ride to school. I arrived at school and see my best friend Benjamen. Then Benjamen says “What's up I can’t wait intel school ends and I got you a gift for your birthday. Then I said “Thanks.  Benjamen has a brother named Fred so anytime I’m hanging out with Benjamen Fred won’t go anywhere near me but if I’m not hanging with Benjamen Fred always will bully me. When I was walking to my class, I forgot my textbook! So, I rushed back home and grabbed my textbook then went back to school. I had a good day. 

I ride my bike back to my house. My friends start to arrive. My first friend that arrived was Benjamen my best friend and he is charming. My second friend that arrived was not my friend he was my cousin his name was Jack he is very smart. My third friend that arrived was Alex and he is very helpful in any situation. Then my mom invited a bunch of her friends and her friend's kids came. My mom set up a bounce house and it was amazing. The outside of the bounce house was yellow and on the top of bounce house was a sign that said Happy Birthdayand the inside was red with an inflatable basketball hoop. 

Everyone went into the bounce house except Fred I did not realize that Benjamen invited his brother Fred. Everyone soon went out of the bounce house except me. Then Fred said “It’s the perfect time. Then Fred Popped the Bounce house with a fork. I was not able to get out of the bounce house and then I passed out because there was no air in the bounce house. When I woke up, I was in bed I did not realize what whapped.  

Then When I went downstairs my mom explant what happened then my mom called Fred’s mom and my mom told friends mom what Fred did then friend got in trouble. Now I know to make sure If I invite somebody over, I need to make sure that know who came over.

 Haunted Machine 

 

10/26/2020 

There are green dented marks all on the ground. There are dead black tree branches all over the grass. The tree branches are 1,000 years old. In the sky there is bats and an orange moon and, there is a Huge Machine.  

 It was Halloween I was Trick or Treating with my friends and I walked up to this house all the lights were on but, this house looked way to spooky to go up to the house ring the doorbell and say TRICK OR TREAT! My friends were arguing about if we should go in the house or not then one of my friends went into the house, but we did no longer see him so were like should we go in or should we not? 

 

We were investigating the outside of the house we saw green marks on the roof it was a cliff hanger how we even saw the roof because the machine was huge. It was getting super late, so we decided to just go back to are houses the next morning we got straight up to investigate the house, so we did when we were walking up to the house we saw a metal mask and a green coat we saw the metal mask and the green coat throe a window. When we got to the door, we smelt Dark Chocolate. We thought that whoever was in this house loves Dark Chocolate. Then we realized the door was locked we saw a carpet and we thought that the key for the house was under the carpet are prediction was right, but it wasn't a key it was a paper clip than my friend told us that we could use that paper clip to pick the lock than my friend tried to pick the lock and he did it he picked the lock. 

 

The door opened we got are flash lights. We went into the house we, were extremely scared but we were so confident that we would catch who ever this person was and that we would tell him to give us are friend back. We went into the room that had the metal mask and the green coat we found are friend taped to the celling the man walked into the room he said you guys can have your friend back only if you defeat me so we had to go to the front of his and try to defeat him this was a huge problem but we went home with are friend that was missing. We stayed up all night we made metal suits for all of us. We practiced fighting all night and we thought that we were ready. So, we take a nap for the day. The first, thing we did when we woke up was go to the machineThe bad guy was waiting for us he had a huge green ball in his hands before he throe the giant green ball he said and by the way my name is Victor Von Don Doom also known as Doctor Doom. Then we throe the big green ball at us we went flying my friends all were not ok when Doctor Doom was flying over to me, I was calculating what I needed to do I figured out that I needed to take of his mask so I jumped kicked Doctor Doom then he fell I took of his mask and I defeated him I was so proud but I learned my lesson to not do anything without permission.

THE OCEAN SCHOOL 

 

 

The Yellow small sand lays on the bottom of the surface. White hard seashells get blowed bye the wind. Green salty water gets splashed all over the beach. Black striped fish swim Fearlessly.  The blue jumping dolphins are very kind because they never fight or take food. The tan skilled surfer Jumps over the waves with his silver surfboard. 

 

My name is Kevin. I’ve had a terrible day. I’m sea sick and I have school in a pod The school was called Ocean time. Then I saw the pod. It looked beautiful. I could not believe what my eye’s saw. It was red and blue with a Lobster on it. I wasn't scared at all because I saw that. So, I named it the Ocean Hive. Even though it was A pod. 

 

 When I went in the pod. I saw a lobster and 16 fish. 16 fish were all clown fish. The fish were orange and had black stripes. They were 1 foot longI decided that I should not be scared because I’m bigger than the fish. The Lobster told us that fish can swim a mile per hour. Then the teacher took us to the Look-Out Room the teacher spotted a shark eating a fish outside the pod. Then the shark looked at the fish in the pod. The shark started to chase the pod. Are teacher got straight to the controlling area and moved the pod as fast as he could. We got very unlucky because one of the fish died the fishes name was Tod So, we put Tod in the Resting Room. We had a funeral for Tod. 

 

Today the teacher introduced himself. He told us that he was 36 years old, His Name was Loberand his last name was Labby. He was Married so we called him MrLabby. Mr. Lobert was married to Lancy, but she worked for the other pod, so any time we had lunch we ate lunch with MrsLabby’s pod. Mr. Labby said that we will be come biding are class with Mrs. Labby’s class. He chose to come binded are class because we were so in love with Mrs. Labby. There was one nice fish and, he was very kind. I asked him can we be best friends and he said yes. We talked to each other all day. But mostly we introduced our selves to each other. So, we became best friends. 

It turns out that I wasn't having such a bad day intel something happened. Me and my best friend were arguing about who had the best Dance moves. Then I said, I don’t care about your dance moves because mine dance moves are better than yours. Then he bite me a shark saw him bite me then the shark bite me I ran away from the beach and I never went back there. 

I learned to never get in a argument.

Stuck in the middle of a game  

 When I was playing a game called Minecraft. I heard a noise and the noise I heard was the sound of a Trex than I teleported into the game. I farmed a tree than made a crafting table. Then I farmed another tree and made a Wooden Sword, a Wooden Pickaxe, and I made a Wooden Axe. Then I decided to go in a cave to get stone pickaxe to mine Iron. I minded 12 stone and then minded 64 Iron. Then I used my stone pickaxe to get Cobllestone. Then I use the Cobllestone to make a furnace. Then I got food from getting chickensI made a Iron pickaxe. Then I went into a riven to mined Dimond's. I found Dimond’s next to lava, so I minded the Dimond’s. Then I saw lava and water right next to each other so Minded Obsidian with my Dimond pickaxe. Then I built a Nethrie portal. Then I went into the Nethrie portal, and the first thing I saw was a Fortress, so I went Into the Fortress and got Blaze Rods. Then I went back I the Nethrie portal and out of the riven. Then I found 10 Enderman and got them so I made Eyes of Ender Then I throw them and made it to the Ender Dragon then I got the Ender Dragon and made my way out of the game. To be honest I liked being in the game.

Lonely 

Yay! It was my friend's birthday party!  she was turning 13 years old I was invited and was excited to go. Chucky Cheese here I come! When I ran in the golden doors, I suddenly saw millions of games to play. I heard cars crashing, bumping, and honking. I looked up and saw colorful balloons and a big shiny disco ball. The disco ball threw confetti-like shapes on the ceiling. I couldn’t wait to play with people since it's been about a year that everyone has been quarantined. When I looked around, I saw nice people playing with friends except for meI felt left out and lonely. I was sitting in a brown chair feeling sad, so went over and said, “Hey, could I play with you guys?” They said, “Yea, sure.” Then I felt a lot better to be included.       
 

 

 

Once upon a time there lived three little goats and they were hungry. There was grass across a lake. 

Oh! No, we can't get across hmmm oww I have have an idea there is big stick let's put it across the lake. They put it across the lake but they saw a scary troll nobody can cross my lake the troll said. How are we going to eat hmmm I have an idea. Hey troll were hungry can we please have some grass. Hmmm said the troll ok. Thank you. The goats said and they ate the delicious grass. Yum. And they lived happily ever after. 

The lesson is that to be nice to others!

There is tall, black grass.  also, there are big hairy ugly spiders. and when I looked up it was pitch 

Black. But when I looked down, I saw footprints leading to a big scary haunted house. 

It looked so spooky, That the windows were open. Inside you can see a creepy shadow. 

 And there were tons of spider webs outside the house to. I walked up to the door. I knocked and 

Suddenly the door opened by itself. This was to creepy, so I decided to leave. 

11/1/2020    

I saw tall, black grass in the yard.  Also, there were big, hairy, ugly spiders in the trees. When I looked  

up, I saw it was pitch black nighttime. But when I looked down, I saw glowing footprints leading to a 

 big, scary house. I think it might be haunted. 

     The haunted house looked so spooky. The windows had spider webs and were crackedThrough the 

 window, I could see a creepy shadow. I thought maybe it was a ghost. I’m really scared of ghosts. As I  

walked to the front door, I walked through tons of spiders’ webs. They stuck on my face. Ew! I 

 bravely walked up to the door. knocked but suddenly the door flew open by itself. Quietly I 

 tiptoed inside and I heard an evil laugh.  I screamed AHHHH! then I raced outside to safety. 

     What I learned was it was fun and scary. Sometimes fun and scary can go together.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful ocean filled with shark, fish and even crabs.  

Suddenly there was a huge school under water. There was fish in the school, and even lobster. 

 

I brought my binoculars so I can see what is going on in the school. I decided to walk to the front door i was scared but I did it. When I was at the front door, I knocked the school door and a fish answered 

.

I didn’t know what to say so, I said hello and the fish said hello back to me. The fish said welcome to fish elementary school. Nice school I said thanks said the fish. Do you want to come in said the fish? 

 

I was thinking if I should go in hmmm Shure I said. Alright then come on in said the fish. Wow there is a lot of fish and crabs in here. Yeah, I know right said the fish.

I got tired though, but it was still fun, and sometimes I would even take it with me on trips to places like palm springs and other places we finally got home, and put my fish to bed, in its water tank I said goodnight fish, and then I went to bed.

     Lonely 

There was a grassy area with lots of colorful beautiful flowers with some trees with those brick boxes that are like benches. Near the flowers and the trees there are some outside tables with white cloth and there are rainbow colored balloons with a banner that read           *😊School Dance Party!!!😊*. At the school hallway there were some posters about a school dance, and it was at the place where the students eat. There are going to be some colorful streamers and a sparkly disco ball. The school dance is going to have a after party with lots of food to eat and presents to open for the party planners and one big present for the student who wins the prize. 

I was going to the school hallway that leads to the outside area where you get picked up from school. When I saw a poster about a school dance at 1:00 P.M. today, it was at the cafeteria. I went home and got my favorite beautiful dress. Then a few hours later I went to the school at 1:00. It felt weird since it is 1:00 and I never come to school this late. Then I saw Liv with her group of “friends” Then she was beinreally nice then I thought maybe she is being too nice so she can get into my head unless... Actually, no I am just going with the thought I just said. I went inside the party in the MPR I forgot what it stands for but, it doesn’t matter. It is so pretty inside, it had a color changing dance floor, there were streamers that were really colorful, and a sparkly disco ball. 

 Then the lights were turned off and everything was like a neon rainbow threw up there were so many lights than I expected. I danced and I was a little thirsty and I got a sparkly blue drink then Liv spilled my drink on me and her sparkly pink drink too, and she said” Oops like she didn’t know, and she said It was on “accident” then her minions oh I mean followers spilled their sparkly pink drinks on me too. Then I looked like a mess and I tried to wash it off, but I couldn’t wash it off. It looked like something that something vomited on my dress.  

I had to sit on those chair that you sit on when something usually goes wrong. At least Liv didn’t win I think and somebody else won but, there was a glitch with the microphone so, I am not sure but, I bet Liv had something to do with that and I think she didn’t win so, she made sure nobody else won too but, then they said I won!!! Now I know why Liv ruined the microphone it was because I won. Wow I did not think that was going to happen and I don’t think Liv thought about that too. Everyone clapped but Liv and her friends were booing.  

Then asked, “What is the prize?” then she said “the prize is... Umm where is it? It was just right here on the podium.” Then Liv smirked and showed me the tiny present in her hand the present was wrapped beautifully. It looked like a I phone 12 Wow! I can’t believe that the school can afford that. Wait she is opening it oh no!!! Cool! It is a I phone 12. I mean bad because Liv took it but, still cool! I am going to try to take the iPhone back. Liv ran outside and dodged the tables by, going over them and the tables were showing their color and it was like navy green. Then I saw Liv put the phone in her pocket and got out her other phone to call her friends then they came out of nowhere and blocked me so I went to the parking lot and her friends wouldn’t dare to go there for some reason then I saw a car coming towards me and I dodged it and I went to Liv. I saw Liv standing there on the hill, and she said “I give up I am very tired”, and she handed it back to me. Then Liv said, “ I was just trying to get back at you for spilling drinks on me.” Then I said “Well I never did it on purpose for you to get mad at me”,  I'm sorry", Liv said then she said “ I am very sorry what happened” “it is ok” ,I said. “ Here and she gave me back the present. “Thanks, I said do u want to go to the after party with me?”, then she said ”Yes”, “Ok c'mon” and we when to the after party and danced. It was so fun. 

 
There was an animal named Emily that was a rabbit. One day she went to the forest to pick some flowers for her house aka her parent’s house. Then she smelled something wonderful she thought maybe it was a picnic so, she followed the smell. When she got there, she saw a little girl playing with a little penguin plushie she did anything with the plushie. Then she said ‘’Hi’ ’then I waved my hand or as you call it a paw. I came over there, but I was a little shy I thought because she was little, she would squeeze me but, she didn’t she said ‘’Hi my name is Shellby what’s your name?’’ but, she couldn’t understand meThen we played together for a little bit. Then she gave me some food and she said I could leave then I gave her a big hug. Then I learned never judge a book or by its cover.

Haunted House 

 

There were spooky pumpkins with weird looking faces. Then there was a full moon on top of the house. Then there was a wolf howling to the moon. There was a sign that read ‘’Get out while you can!’’ Then there is a cat black as the night that are looking at the things and blocking the things that are going into the house.  

When I was going to the next house for trick-o-treating to waste time. Then my phone beeped that meant the party at the house has started. Then I said excitedly to my friend ‘’let's go to the party ‘’ she put a thumbs up. Then my phone beeped twice that meant the party has changed the location. It was in the haunted house it was the place where the girl that was turned into the cat that looks at people. I went there and I heard that whoever goes into there never comes out but lets just go there. We had to go through a tiny forest to go to the house when we got there, I saw pumpkins with weird faces The I heard a wolf howling to the moon when I got near the house, I saw a ’’ Get out while you can!’’ sign Then I saw a cat that looked at me and my friend, Emma when I opened the door the cat followed me, and I was like ‘’ok’’ confused. I don’t really like cats so that is why I was confused I like dogs better. When I went inside... 

I went in inside and there was a lot of scary stuff to imagine. Then out of nowhere a ghost came and took my friend EmmaI chased it for like hours but, it was like a few minutes I chased it upstairs on spiral stairs, I went somewhere you don’t want to imagine but, I found someone to help the cat to turn back into a girl , and I went to the dinner table yuck! Then finally... wait...I’m so tired and the ghost is tired too. Yes! I caught up to him or her. I got my friend back and I got the cat back into a girl and went out of the house and I went straight back home and never ever came back. I learned to never give up.

An Underwater School 

Up above the ocean there were some sea gulls diving and coming out with yummy fishThere were some buoys with seals barking on them and diving into the oceanThe beach was very calm with the ocean crashing on the waves. There were some playful funny dolphins. Under the ocean were school of shiny silvery fish.  On the sand there was some beautiful colorful coral with tan and yellowish sand. There were red shiny crabs the crabs were munching on the wonderful green kelp with some lobsters that are red and hard. There were some starfish that were red and orangish.  

At the beach Liz was at the beach waiting for the people to put her into a pod for the new school to bring her underwaterThe people who were bringing the pod up the put me in the airtight pod or a mini submarine to a fish school. 

 When she got to the school Liz was very nervous that her airtight pod may leak, or she doesn’t make any friends when she went inside the doors were a pink giant shell spilt into two. When she went inside a funny looking lobster with glasses waved hi to Liz and Liz waved back to her.  She asked the lobster where her class and the lobster said that she is her teacher, Ms. Ling and she was just going over there 

When they went to the class everyone was being quiet doing their homework waiting. When she got into her seat the teacher gave math. After that, the school bell rang and it was lunch time and she ate her lunch. A fish came up to Liz and talked to her and asked her questions about above the water. When they went to recess and the fish asked her if she wanted to play ball with them 

When the 30 minutes went by, they went back to class. When they did reading, school was over. Liz had a good day today in the first day of school. Liz learned to never be nervous for the first time on anything.

At the North Pole there was a little gingerbread looking house. There were tiny elves that made presents and there were some that wrapped the presents too. Then if you see a red velvet curtain if you go inside it. You will see a town with lots of houses for the elves to live in and to work in. If you see a place with stairs in the front with a fountain. There is santa that is take a vacation in a VR room at a beach and you see Mrs. Clause siting on the chair with him. It is time to leave so I go back home to my house.

                                                      Lonely 

                            “Wilbur didn’t want food, he wanted love. 

                                      - E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web 

                    

                         There was a wooden, black floor with a white, furry carpet. 

             I'm Ziva.  I got an invite to my classmate’s birthday party. I was getting ready to go to the party. My mom drove me to the party when I was ready to go. We went into the car and drove off.  

 

     “Have fun” my mom said. I was very thrilled to go to a birthday party. I knock on the doorMy friend Ramona opens the door. She was the birthday girl that invited me to the party. I walk into her house and I see a lot of my classmatesI said hi to all my classmates and put the present on a pink, rectangle table. 

 

 I was walking to see some of my other friends, and they were dancing on a pretty, color changing dance floor. I went to go dance with them for a little bit and then I went to go talk to Ramona. 

  

        I walked over to her and said, “Hi Ramona, this is a really fun party.” “Thank you I'm really glad you like it.” Ramona said.      

   

“Knock” I heard a knock on the door. Ramona walks to the door saying, “I'll get it.” 

 

 When she opened the door she said, “Hi Ruby.”  “Hi” Ruby said in a tired voice. Ruby was the mean kid in class. She would make fun of people at school and blame things on our classmates when they didn’t even do anything 

 

      Ruby did not say anything to me neither did I. We all sang happy birthday to Ramona and had a big, tasty cake. I saw Ruby standing next to the chocolate machine. It looked like she was trying to fix it, but I didn’t know why. 

 

    While I was talking with my friends, we got to have a shiny, black balloon and there was a bright shiny disco ball. I went over to the yummy, and delicious chocolate fountain. I grabbed a strawberry and let the chocolate drizzle onto the strawberry. 

 

   I heard a strange noise. It was coming from the chocolate fountain. The noise started getting louder, and then, chocolate comes splattering out of the machine. I tried to stop it from getting everywhere but I couldn’t find the button to turn it off. 

   

  I finally found the button. I was a mess! Everyone was looking at me. I walked to the door with green, and yellow streamers sticked to my shoes. I walked home wondering how the chocolate machine malfunctioned. Then, I remembered that Ruby was standing right next it, acting like she was trying to fix it. The next day I saw Ruby. “Hi Ruby” I said to her. I told her that she should be nice to people and be respectful because earlier she told me she malfunctioned the chocolate machine. I said nicely to ruby, “You should never be mean to anyone or make fun of anyone and always be respectful”.  

 Therefore, you should always be respectful, nice, caring, and helpful.

                     Top 10 list of ways you help at home 

   When I'm at home and my mom needs help, I help her take care of my little brothers. When my family is done eating dinner, I will help my mom clean the dishes. My family and I have a room called the playroom, and that is the room where we keep my little brother's toys. The playroom is always messy, so I help clean, and pick up the toys in the playroom. I help a lot around the house, and one of my favorite things to help with is making dinner for my family. When my dog needs to go on a walk, I take her outside for a walk. Every Sunday my family and I have “Sunday breakfast”, and before we eat, I set up the table. 

 

    On the weekends my dad likes to clean the cars, and he really likes it when I help him because it'll be quicker and if we’re done early, we get to have fun. I also try to keep my room clean and neat every day. If my mom is busy when I’m hungry I try to make my own meal, so I don’t have to bother her. I also do random things for my parents throughout the day, like run upstairs to grab something or whatever my parents need me to do. We have a lot of people in our house, so we all must do our part.

                             There are so many reasons to love the winter season. What I love about the winter season is that in the winter, Christmas comes up and I love the holidays. I used to live in Japan. In the winter it would snow, and my older brother and I would play in the snow. Whenever it’s cold outside I like to drink hot cocoa with marshmallows and whipped cream. When it is Friday sometimes my family and I watch a Christmas movie. In the winter Christmas is close, so that’s when I like to write down my wish list for Christmas. I love to get festive when the holidays come up that is why in December, I like to decorate my room for Christmas. This year I’m going to put a little Christmas tree in my room and put more decorations around my room. I love spending time with my family. In the winter we like to make gingerbread houses and bake cookies. What I especially love about winter is that it is my Birthday in the winter season. In class I also love to do Christmas worksheets. The winter season is a good time
