Once upon a time lived a 23 year old princess named Jennta Ellen. She lived in the land Nark. Her mother and father had given her the whole day to find a prince, by that night. See, in Nark if you are a princess you are a queen at age 24. But Jenna was turning 24 in 7 hours, at 9:00 that night.
“Knock, Knock, Eelier in the house,” said Eelier.
“Oh, Hi, Eelier, Ashley, and hey, Alex and Briana,” said Jennta.
“Hey,” said Alex.
“Come on girls, let's go find my prince," said Jennta.
And so Alex, Eelier, Ashley Brianna and Jennta set out to find a prince.
In the woods.
“Can I ask you girls a little question?” said Ashley.
“What?” said Alex.
“Is this the part of the woods that the dragon lives in?” said Ashley
“Oh, snap! You're right Ashley,” said Eelier.
“Run!” said Alex.
And so they ran. But all their yelling woke the dragon.
Just as Jennta was about to get eaten. . .
“I will save you” said Joe Jonas as he killed the dragon.
And so that was how the princess was saved.

Once upon a time lived a boy. You don’t know him, but you see him. And the world will need him.
Ring, ring, ring went the alarm clock as Jimmy Tonlok woke up. He was a normal kid like you and me but he was more than that; he was the luckiest boy in the world. He just didn’t know it yet.
At Shea School
It was 8:00, the start of school. But Jimmy wished it was the end.
“OK, class, today is a pretty day but it’s about to get ugly. I want a 7,000,567 page report. But write it in 3 minutes. If you can’t, you will go in the corner and do 5,000,000,000 pushups,” said Ms.goo.
“But Ms goo,” said Jennifer Mar. As she was about to tell Ms.Goo she can’t do that a crash went through the door.
“Hello, we are looking for Jimmy Tonlok,” said two guys looking like they were from NASA.
“I’m Jimmy Tonlok,” said Jimmy looking at them in a weird way.
“Come with us young man,” said one guys with the name of Mike. As they said that, Jimmy went with them.
At NASA
“Guys, can I ask you a question: Why am I here?” said Jimmy thinking about it.
“Well, you are here because there is a project we need to get done,” said another guy named Carl.
“Well, what’s the project?” asked Jimmy .
“Well, the project is going to space and finding a space theme.
On the space ship
“Ok guys I’m set and sitting,” said Jimmy .
”Ok, the ship will leave in 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 bye” said another guy named David.
“Ok, bye,” said Jimmy .
In space
“Ok, finding something in space can’t be too hard,” said Jimmy as he started to look around.
Meeting a new friend
One second later Jimmy heard something, something weird. And he saw something, something weird.
“Shhhh, shhh, who are you?” said a girl. She was an alien princess.
“I’m Jimmy,” said Jimmy talking in a really slow voice.
“Well, hello, my name is Skylar ,” said Skylar learning how Jimmy spoke.
“Well, Skylar, how would you like to come to earth with me?” said Jimmy hoping that she would. To Jimmy she was the prettiest girl he had ever met. Sure she had green skin, but she had the prettiest eyes and smile.
At planet earth
At planet earth Jimmy and Skylar were at NASA. “Hey, guys, look what I found,” said Jimmy walking out of the space ship. Then second to walk out was Skylar. “Oh, my Jimmy, do you know what you just did,” said another guy with the name of Andrew.
“I brought back an alien, right?” said Jimmy feeling happy.
“Yeah,” said Andrew as he fell to the ground.
Getting back
Back on Skylar’s home planet
”Goodbye,” said Jimmy.
“Goodbye,” said Skylar.
As Skylar walked away Jimmy started to cry. Then Skylar turned around and said, “I will never forget you.”
The End

My top 3 songs:
Selena Gomez, "Tell me something I don’t know"
Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it
Yet so hard to break it
And there's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe it
The dreams that I'm dreaming
I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind
OH!
Tell me, Tell me, Tell Me
Something I don't know x3
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know x3
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, Tell me
Something I don't know something x3
Tell me, Tell me
something I don't know
Tell me, Tell me
something I don't know
Everybody tells me
I Don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm pursuing
The odds of me loosing
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million
Tell Me Something I Don't Know
More like one in a billion
or one in a zillion
I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to anything
But they're never gonna change my mind
OH!
Tell me, tell me, Tell me
something I don't know x3
Tell me, tell me, Tell me
something I don't know x3
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me
Something I don't know x3
I'm on my way I know
I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say
It won't be easy
Tell me, tell me, Tell me
something I don't know x3
Tell me, tell me, Tell me
something I don't know x3
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me
Something I don't know x3
Song 2:
"Love story," Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights,
See the party,
the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Love Story
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh,
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He kneels to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Song 3: "Imagine," John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Imagine
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possession
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
That’s my favorite 3 songs.

One day there lived a girl named Ashley. She was going to start pre-school the next day. So her mom wanted to take here to the playground to meet other kids that were going to pre-school too.
They were driving and they were going around the corner and right when they turned that corner Ashley's eyes got so wide she started jumping in her car seat and yelling. At first Ashley’s mother was mad with all the noise but when she turned around and saw Ashley's face she knew Ashley was not mad at all.

Once upon a time, there were three special friends. Their names were Jennifer, Nicole and RockGirl98. One day, they decided to have a picnic at the park.
“Oh, boy, a picnic!” said Nicole. "Let's bring all our favorite foods!”
“Okay, I will bring sandwiches,” said Jennifer.
” I will bring lots of chips” said RockGirl98.
”Mmm-mmm! and I will bring a lot of soda,” said Nicole.”
"I will bring cookies!" said Jennifer.
The next day the friends took their picnic to the park. They spread their blanket under a shady tree with a big trunk. Pretty soon, the weather started to change. The sun disappeared and black clouds rolled in. The air grew cold. Then, all of a sudden there was a loud clap of thunder.
Plop! PLOP! PLOP! wet drops splashed on their heads.
”Oh no! It’s starting to rain!” said Nicole.
”Our picnic will be ruined!”
It was RockGirl98to the rescue! “No, it won’t! I will save the day!” Then, quickly as a flash, RockGirl98 reached into the basket and pulled out an umbrella.
And she saved the day.

Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me;
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one,
You see
I'm not gonna write you
A love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to
Stay
If all you have is leavin',
I'ma need a better reason
To write you
A love song
Today
Today, Yeah
I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convince me to please you
Make me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one,
You see
I'm not gonna write you
A love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to
Stay
If all you have is leavin',
I'ma need a better reason
To write you
A love song
Today
Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see
With daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one,
You see
I'm not gonna write you
A love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it?
'Cause you need one?
You see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
Or you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you
To stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to write you
A love song
Today

Audio by NickJonasLuver and RockGirl
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"

It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
Romeo save me; they're tryin' to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
Oh.
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
Oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you...

Lyrics by Demi Lavato
Hear it performed by RockGirl by clicking the link at the end.
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I had this dream
Bright inside of me
I'm going to let it show
It's time
To let you know
To let you know
This is the real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I've found
Who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Do you know what it's like to feel so in the dark
To dream about a life where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's to far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is the real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I've found
Who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
This is the real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
This is me
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

I would like to make this story for TapGirl, a very special princess.
Once upon a time in a land far away lived a very pretty princess named Emily. She had always been a good girl as a child but she grew up to be a nasty teenager. She was mean to everyone: her mom, her dad, and her little brother.
One day she was out on her walk in the woods. She was a nasty princess, but she loved the woods so much. As she was walking she bumped into someone.
Wwatch where you're going poor one,” said princess Emily.
”Well, my bad,” said a fine young man named Joseph.
Well, they kept on talking but every word Joseph said was like no words to her at all. She was not looking at his face but to her looking at him was like looking in his heart and loving every beat.
She returned home as she dreamed about him. She went to tell her father the good news about finding the one she liked. When she told him he said, ”Joseph? Joseph James?” spiting out his water.
”Yes, fat father” said Emily.
”No, no, Dear Emily, you may not see this Joseph again.”
”Well, why not?” Emily said getting sad. (She thought ever since she was two she could get away with everything by getting sad.)
”Well. . .well. . .because his uncle is a potty mouth to this kingdom.”
”Well, okay father" said Emily. But she was not giving up. She loved him and to her, her love was strong and hard.
The next day she went to the woods to try to find the Joseph she liked but no one was there. She went farther and farther into the woods when she saw a giant, giant, giant castle. She knocked on the door. There there was the handsome Joseph standing in the door.
”Oh, hello little girl. Are you looking for your mommy?” said Joseph trying to be funny.
”Well, no, I am not looking for my mother,”said Emily. ”But I did come here for a question if I may ask you.”
"Alright then, ask it my dear” said Joseph.'
”Alright then, I want to know if you would like to go to the ball with me” said Emily, hoping that Joseph would say yes.
”OK, I understand. Sorry for the bother” said Emily starting to walk down the steps.
”Well, I wanted to say that I would love to ”said Joseph.
”Great!” said Emily as she walked away back into the woods. ”Pick me up at 7:00, OK?”
So Emily got ready. First she started with her outfit. Then she got her hair done. Then the most important thing of all, the makeup. And at the end she had a pink dress with white and yellow laces around the front and pink cheeks with light pink lip gloss. She looked like the prettiest girl in the world and in one minute she would see her prince.

Addie’s whole world turned upside down when she saw a flyer on her walk home from school. Outside her school a flyer read: Dance on Friday. She took one of the many flyers and ran home as fast as she could.
When she got home she opened the door and ran in her room. While she was running, she bumped into the wall that was orange. Her mom loved to paint it like that because she was an artist.
After, she throws her backpack on her white, plain old bed. She started to think what it would be like to go to the dance with Joe Valerica.
Chapter 2: The Prefect Dress
Well, the next day Addie went looking for that oh, so, Cinderella dress. When she got to the store she saw lots of dresses so she tried the first on. It was green, one of Addie's favorite colors. She didn’t like it one bit. So she tired on a pink dress, another one of Addie's favorite colors. This one was worse. Then she tried on a purple one, another one of Addie's favorite colors. This one was the best out of all of them so far. So she took the dress off and held it in her hand so no one else could take it. Then right there in front of her was the reddest, prettiest, dress ever to be made. She liked it so she did a little dance! But she was not done. She had the red dress in her hand and the purple dress in her hand. She loved both but there could be one in the store that would be prettier than them together. And there she found it, the whitest, prettiest, silkiest dress ever. Along with it came with a perfect tuxedo for Joe. But first Joe would have to ask her to go with him.
Chapter 3: Joe
Well, at school Addie did everything she could to get Joe's attention. She wore a black skirt with a white and black shirt. Then at the end of the school day, she looked in her locker, looking for her dumb old history book. Joe came up to her and taped her shoulder. “Um, hello. Is this your history book, Addie?”
“You know my name?” said Addie, trying to look cool in front of him and taking the book from him.
“Yeah, I know you from my cousin, Lisa. She says she hangs out with you a lot,” said Joe as he took a picture out from his wallet. “This is her.”
“Yeah that’s her,” said Addie, remembering the girl she was talking to a few days ago.
“So there’s something I want to ask you,” said Joe. “Um, do you, um, want, um, um, to, um, go, um, to the, um, dance, um, with, um, me?” said Joe waiting for her answer.
“Um, well, I would love to,” said Addie.
Chapter 4: The Makeup
It was two days before the dance, and it was time for Addie to get some makeup. She was hoping for something that makes her look like a super model. So when she got in the store she saw the perfect kit full of lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, and a mirror. She bought the kit.
Chapter 5: Nails
It was one more day before the dance. She had to do her nails. She thought she would get the color black. She told the lady to do that color. The lady did, and it come out perfect. So she had the nails, the makeup, the dress, and the boy!
Chapter 6: The Day
It was the day. It was her fairytale day, the day she would have everything: the boy and the looks! All she had to do was get dressed and go to school until 2:40 then at 6:00 she would have her for her “Ball”. She got dressed in a pink shirt and brown pants. When she got to school everyone was dressed cool. Normally everyone would dress in ugly clothes. But today everyone looked awesome. But where was Joe?
She looked everywhere for him and found him in gym class all sweaty. She waited outside the gym class. Three minutes later he came out.
“Hey, I didn’t see you there,” said Joe.
“Yeah, well, I was waiting here for about two, three minutes,” said Addie. They walked down the hallway together and then Joe turned left.
“I got to go get ready for the dance. I’ll pick you up at 5:30, ok?”
“Ok,” said Addie.
Chapter 7: 4:00
At 4:00 Addie started getting ready for the dance. First she got on her dress, then her makeup, then her hair that looked amazing. Then she was all set. It was 5:28. In one more minute Joe would be coming. Then the doorbell rang, and Addie’s dad, Addie’s little sister Emily, and her mom answered the doorbell. Joe was there waiting and looking great in his brand new tuxedo. He stepped in their house. Addie’s mom asked Joe if he would like something to drink. Joe said yes so she left to get Joe something to drink while Addie’s mom left. Emily got out her dolls and started playing with them. Ten minutes later Addie came down her steps and smiled. So did Joe. Then they left in the night.
Chapter 8: The Dance
At the dance Addie saw all her friends there in amazing dresses. Addie and Joe started dancing and had a wonderful night.
The End

So you're the boy
I heard the rumor

Wrapped around your finger
Such a sweet heart breaker
You're the game I want

Do it over again again again

Why don't you break my heart
Stare me down intimidate me
Baby please you'll never break me
Bring it on cause I can take
You're so cool the way you play it

Ray and Lynne Simone might as well be big dream famous because they were offered a house for just one dollar. It has four bedrooms. It will take one year for Ray and Lynne to move in.
I would love it if someone came up to me and said, ”Would you like a big dream house only for one dollar?”

Best Friends Forever
Narrator (Walking in) - Once there was girl with a life that felt like she had no friends and no one to hang out with.
Ashley (Walking in with Julia with a confused face.)- Oh, why don’t I have many friends?
Julia- Well, maybe you should meet more people and become friends with different people?
Ashley (sad)- Who would want to be my friend?
Julia (helping)- You just have to try to meet new people!
Ashley- I’ll try.
Narrator – The next day in school Ashley met to new girls named Britney and Maria.
(Brintney and Maria walk in.)
Ashley (Walking in and talking to the girls standing there.) - Hey, you want to be friends?
Maria (being nice) – Yeah, okay.
Britney (trying not to be left out)- I’ll be your friend too.
Narrator (Walking on then walking off.)- Later on that day they went to the mall.
Julia (surprised)- WOW, you took my advice and meet to new people!
Ashley- Yeah, it worked, but don’t worry I wont forget about you.
Narrator (walking on then walking off) – After finding some friends, Ashley was so happy that she ran home and told her mom and dad.
Ashley – Mom! Mom! Guess what? I found friends!
Mom- What? Oh my honey, I’m so happy for you! Tell me all about it.
Ashley- Well, I was asking Julia why I didn’t I have any friends and she told me that I should try to meet different people and so I did and I met friends.
Mom- I’m so happy for you. Just wait until your father finds out!
Narrator- Ashley’s dad came home.
Mom – Guess what? Ashley found friends!
Dad- Wow, Ashley! I’m really happy for you! Lets go out to dinner to celebrate!
Narrator (People are sitting in the back faking to eat.) – So they went. The next day at school Julia tried to talk to Addie but everyone was pulling her away. So Julia just gave up. Addie had lied to her. She did forget about her.
Julia- I can’t believe she just forgot about me.
Ashley – Hey, guys.
Narrator – That night Ashley called Julia.
Ashley – I’m so, so sorry. I know I forgot about you, and I know I shouldn’t have. I’m so sorry.
Narrator- Ashley walked over to Julia’s house and hugged her.
Both Julia and Ashley – We’re best friends forever.
Everyone- We’re all best friends forever.

When I was five years old we wanted to come to New York so did my dad. I was so happy that we were leaving to New York that I kept on asking when are we leaving and my mom would say soon. My dads send $8,000 to us because it was not only my mom and me it was my brother too.
Days passed by. It was time to go. We said bye to my family. My brother and I cried. My mom didn’t what to say bye because for her it was too hard and hurtful.
We got on the bus. I was going to talk to my brother, but my mom said not to talk to him because they wouldn’t let us go together. It took us two days to get to the center of Mexico. We stayed at a hotel. We had to stay in a girls only and boys only part. The problem was that we only had one bed for the girls and one bed for the boys in a different room so some of us had to sleep on the floor. My mom and I slept on the bed.
It was the second day in Mexico. My mom and me and some other girls went shopping for clothes and other stuff. Then we got back to the hotel. We got our stuff and got on the bus.
We headed for a desert close to Arizona. We got off the bus quickly because we didn’t want to get caught by the police. We started walking for about two miles. I was crying because I kept on falling and there was a lot of sticks everywhere. So was my mom because in Guatemala my mom’s legs got swollen. My brother was pushing my mom by saying don’t give up.
We were almost there but since my mom’s leg was hurting we were all the way in the back of everyone. But there was a nice lady that told the man that was taking us to the border (the coyote) to wait for us. A man said that a police car was coming, and we had to hide down. I almost fell because we were on a hill. Then the coyote called a friend of his. He came with his van and we had to get on it quickly. We were almost left behind, but we made it.
We were stuck in a small van but one of us got to sit in front. There was lady that got to sit in front and got McDonalds because we were starving. We got to eat but not a lot. Then it was my mom and my turn to sit in front, but they sent us back because I keep on moving. Than we stopped to drop of people. First we stopped at Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Then New York was our stop.
My aunt was waiting for us at a restaurants parking lot. Then we headed to my other aunt's. There was a party for us. All my family was there, even some family members that I never meet. We stayed at my aunt’s house for two days but that is a different story.

Lyrics by Katy Perry
Sung by SuperStar9 and MoneyInTheBank. (Click on "podcast" link below.)
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a hobo
I would know
And you always think
Always speak
Crypticly
I should know
That you're no good for me
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, You don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now your plain boring
I should know that
you're not gonna change
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, You don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, you don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Lyrics by by Selena Gomez
Sung by SuperSta9, Shorty11, and MoneyInTheBank
Everybody tells me that
It's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break in
There's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what i'm feeling
I shouldn't believe in
The dreams that I'm dreaming
I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind
Oh!
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me something I don't know
Tell me, tell me something I don't know
Everybody tells me
I don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm pursuing
The odds I'll be losing
Everybody tells me that
It's one in a million
More like one in billion or
one in a zillion
I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
So here's the track
Like Catrina makes a
wish Medina
Make em say 'I'm ready'
Are you ready for it
SELENA:Yeah I'm ready for it
Really ready for it?
sELENA:Yeah I'm ready for it
Let's get ready for it
I'm on my way
I know I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say
It won't be easy
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
How many inches in a mile What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Dear Mr.Barack Obama,
Hi, I am a 5th grader at Mamaroneck Avenue School in Mamaroneck, New York. I am glad that you are our President. My school had a voting, and I voted for you because you were going to make a good President. Why? Well, because you promised that you were going to let illegal immigrants become citizens. But you haven’t done anything about it yet. I understand you have plans for it, but time is running out At least you can let kids of illegal immigrants become citizens. Because if they aren’t citizens they can’t get in to good colleges. I am guessing you want us to learn and be smart, right? So let us become citizens. Be a great President, and you will be remembered as a great President, Please, please, I am begging you. Let us and our families become citizens. Thank you.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
SuperStar

Hi! My name is Megan! And this is the story of how I got rid of my teacher.
I had the meanest teacher ever. Her name was Ms. Pigunpiepinklepfloonytooncowmilkydoopingpondasleymeemee. Don’t ask about the name.
That day I went into class.
“TAKE YOUR SEAT=http://!!!!” she said. I ran to my desk as soon as I could. I looked on the board. It said, like always, work, work, work, work! It said dismissal, 5:30pm and we get out at 3:00pm!
“Hello class,” she said in a squeaky voice.
She started passing out math books that said grade 9.
I said, ”Ms.piginpiepinklepuffloonytooncowmilkydoopingpongasleymeemee?”
“WHAT?” she said.
"Um, these books are for grade 9, not grade 5.”
That’s it! You’re going to the principal’s office! MARCH!”
”But I. . .”
“MARCH!”
On the way there I saw Lyndsey, Allison, Amanda, and Jennifer. Amanda said, “Hi Megan, how are you?”
“Not good.”
“Why”? said Allison.
“I got sent to the principal’s office.”
“Ouch,” said Lyndsey.
“I know,” I said. “My teacher is so mean."
“And her name is so long,” said Jennifer.
“I need to get her fired. Will you guys help me?”
“Sure” said Lyndsey.
“And I’ll help you too,” said Allison.
“So will I,” Amanda said.
"Me too,” said Jennifer.
The next day Jennifer, Lyndsey, Allison, and Amanda told the principal they needed him to bring a note to my class. Then, as usual, our teacher was yelling at us. And then, right then, the principal walked in with Lyndsey, Allison, Jennifer, and Amanda.
”What is going on?” he said. “And why do I see grade 9 books on the tables”?
“I can explain,” she said.
“You are FIRED=http://” Everyone cheered.
And that’s how I got rid of my teacher!

I got my ears pierced when I was a little girl. It was very sudden. What I mean is, well, this is the story.
When I was about 7, I went to the Bronx Zoo with my brother and my mom. My mom said it was too hot at the zoo, so we should go eat at the mall. What I didn’t know was my mom was planning to get my ears pierced. I didn’t want to get my ears pierced, but my mom said if I got them pieced I could get a cat. I wanted to get a cat, but I thought it would hurt if I got my ears pierced. [I had been wanting a cat or a dog since I was 4.]
So me and my mom and my brother went in to Claire’s after we were done eating and my mom plopped me in the chair. My mom said, “I’m not signing any forms, just pierce her ears!" She was afraid I would chicken out if the person took too long to start. I closed my eyes and. . .pinch!
“That’s it? That didn’t hurt!” Then she did the other ear.
I finally got my cat. Her name is Belle. She’s fat but so beautiful and cuddly!

Once upon a time there was a little girl, and her name was Red. She always wore her red cape. That’s why they called her Red.
One day Red’s mom asked her if she could bring some goodies to her grandma’s house. Red said OK.
Red went into the woods to bring the goodies to her grandma. After an hour the sun was setting. She thought to herself that she was lost, but she kept walking.
Then she came to a big castle. She didn’t know what to do. Should she turn back? Suddenly she felt a drop. It started to rain, so she decided to ask the person that owns the castle if she could stay the night.
She banged on the door. It opened by itself. She walked around and said, “Hello?” No one answered so she explored the castle.
Then out of nowhere a beast jumped out! The beast said, "What are you doing here? GET OUT!"
Now Red was brave. “I’ll get out when I want to,” she said.
“Brave?” said the beast. He seemed to like it. "You can stay for dinner,” he said.
“I’d be happy,” said Red. Soon enough they became best friends.
One sentence can mean a lot!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl and her dad owned the biggest kingdom of all! Her father and mother were the king and the queen. And this girl's name was name was Alisa.
She was so spoiled! She was about the age of 12. She got everything she wanted. But there was a day Alisa did not like at all. Her mother and father said, “Alisa you are going to public school.”
“WHAT?” She screamed so loud they could hear it 10 miles away from the kingdom. “This is impossible,” said Alisa.
“Honey,” Her mother said.
“Oh, don’t you honey me,” said Alisa.
“You start tomorrow,” said her father and mother.
Alisa went to bed. Her alarm clock rang at 6:00. Alisa said to herself, "who wakes up at 6:00?"
Alisa was starting Reed Middle School. She was in 7th grade. Alisa asked if she could still take the limo, and she could.
When she got to school she put everything in her locker. She saw a group of girls. She went over to them. “Do you want to be friends?”
“No.”
“Here’s $500$ You want to hang out?” she said.
“My name is Ellie”
“Alisa.”
“Where are we going?” Ellie asked.
“Where do you think we're going? Skipping school and going to the mall, duh.”
And Alisa went.
Then she came home. Her parents were waiting for her. “So, Alisa, we heard you didn’t go to any of your classes today.”
"Oh, yeah, I didn’t feel so well and I went to the nurse and she let me lie in her bed in her office.”
“Where did you get all those shopping bags?”
“Oh, people brought me them because I was sick.” She said.
“Alisa!” snapped her father. “It’s not the hospital! You skipped school and went to the mall!” Her parents were furious.
“Time you figured out,” Alisa said.
“ALLISA!!! YOU ARE GROUNDED!!!! Or whatever normal people call it.” Alisa rolled her eyes. She went upstairs.
Alisa’s bedroom was the 2nd biggest bedroom in the castle. Her parents were the 1st. She had a king size bed and a enormous closet! It was almost as big as the mall. She decided to go to the lounge in her closet. She always handed out maps so her servants, parents, or friends could not get lost. Bella her kitten came up to her.
“Hi Bella.”
“Meow.”
Alisa decided to get out of her closet and decided to turn on her flat screen TV. She fell asleep.
[Dream while watching TV.]
“Alisa, 12 year old princess, ditches school to go to the mall! What will she do next?”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
[Alisa woke up.]
“Good, that was a dream.”
Alisa heard that Ellie got in trouble and wasn’t Alisa’s friend. The next day at school Allisa walked up to Ellie and her group, and they walked away. So Alisa was by herself. No one said hi to her, nothing. Alisa went to lunch.
The thing was, Allisa never knew if they liked her because she was a princess or if they liked her for who she was.
Alisa went to lunch. She sat at a table, and someone came over to her. She had brown hair and green eyes.
“Hi, I’m Jen," she said. Alisa decided not to tell her who she was. She wanted to see if people would like her for who she was.
“I’m Alisa.”
“You look really familiar,” said Jen. Alisa probably thought Jen saw her on television. Alisa tried to change the subject.
"I’m new here,” Alisa said.
“Well, welcome to Reed Middle School.”
“Thanks. What team are you on?"
"I’m on team 4,” Alisa said.
“So am I!” Jen said. Alisa was really excited she found a friend who liked her for who she was. Alisa was thinking about telling her. Tomorrow, Alisa thought.
[3 weeks later]
“Do we have to go to my house?”
“Yes,” said Jen. Then Jen saw it. She saw the castle.
“What’s going on,” she asked. They walked inside.
“Hello madam,” one of her servants said.
“What?” said Jen.
“Ok, I’m Princess Alisa.”
“You mean you lied to me?”
“I was afraid if you knew, you wouldn’t like me for who I was.”
“How could you think that?! Whatever! I’m out of here!” said Jen.
“Wait!” said Alisa. But it was no use, Jen was to far. Alisa tried calling her cell, but she wouldn’t pick up.
Alisa went for a walk. She passed Jen’s house. She decided to go to Jen’s house and see if she was there.
Ding Dong!
“Oh, hi, Alisa” said her mom. “Jen is upstairs.”
“Ok.”
Alisa went upstairs. Jen was reading. She loved reading. She didn’t notice Alisa.
“Jen?” Jen ignored her.
“Jen, I know you're mad at me for not telling but -"
“How could you not tell me who you were? How could you not tell me you’re a princess!” Jen went on the back deck.
“I just wanted to see if people would like me for who I was,” said Alisa.
“But I did like you for who you were, Alisa.”
“Well what about this, no more secrets. Would you like to see my closet?”
“Sure?” said Jen. Then they walked in.
“Here’s a map” said Alisa.
“OMG!” said Jen. “The escalator is on the left.” Jen looked at the map. There were all the places on the map.
.Shoe World
.Swimsuit World
.Fall World
.Summer World
.Spring World
.Winter World
There were a lot more but Jen was too busy looking around.
“On the right is the lounge and kitchen.”
“You have a lounge and kitchen in your closet?”
“And a lot more,” said Alisa. They went to dress world.
“I love your clothes, Princess Alisa.”
“Princess? I knew this was going to happen.”
“Wait it will take me some time to get used to it.” Jen tried to catch up with her but Alisa was on the escalator on the way down to her room. Jen felt bad. Jen left because she knew that she should. Jen did the same thing. She kept trying to call Alisa’s cell, but she wouldn’t pick up.
Alisa went to her room, and took out her I Phone. She looked at her messages. 14 messages from Jen it said. Alisa went to check her email on her computer. 18 messages from Jen. Most of them said I’m sorry, please forgive me, Alisa didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know if she should forgive her or not. The house phone rang.
“Hello?” said Alisa.
“Alisa, I’m so sorry.” Alisa didn’t know what to do. She hung up, she was so upset. Alisa was on her bed. She was in need of her latte.
Alisa was in her room drinking her latte and watching T.V. when suddenly her mom walked in.
“Honey, guess what?”
“What?” said Alisa.
“We are going to the World Famous Ball.”
“WHAT?” Alisa was so excited. The World Famous Ball was a ball that was going on for centuries and it only comes once a year and royal families from all over go to it and only the top 12 royal families get into it.
“It also says you’re allowed to bring guests,” her mother said. At the beginning when she met Jen she wanted to bring Jen if Jen knew then, but Alisa didn’t what she should do now.
“The ball is in a week and it’s on your 13th birthday!” said her mother.
“Wait,” said Alisa. “Is Brandon Steen going to be there. Because if he is, I’m not going.” Brandon Steen was a prince. Alisa hated him! He liked Alisa.
But I know what you're thinking. Alisa is selfish. Well, she isn’t. She is spoiled. If you're wondering if they're the same thing, they're not. Spoiled means you get everything you want. Selfish means you only think about yourself. Anyway, Alisa needed advice badly! What does she do if Brandon keeps annoying her? [Even though he isn’t trying to.] Also Alisa wanted Jen to be there with her from when they became friends.
[A week later.]
It was the day of the ball. Alisa was in Dress World. She was wearing a big pink dress. She came out of her closet and went downstairs. Alisa went outside to the limo. The driver started driving. Alisa was not that happy. She wished that she made up with Jen, but it was too late.
“What’s wrong honey?” asked her mother.
“It’s nothing,” said Alisa.
When they arrived, the driver opened the door for them. It was a castle. Alisa saw that Brandon’s limo driver was already there. Alisa moaned. They walked inside. The doorman opened the door. Alisa was walking and looking at the ground and wishing Jen was there, when suddenly she bumped into someone and that someone was Brandon. Alisa looked up.
“Well, isn’t it Princess Alisa.”
“Oh, hi, Brandon,” Alisa said, hopefully thinking this was a bad dream. But she figured out it wasn’t. Alisa tried to get passed him, but she couldn’t.
“Yeah, sure, you look wonderful.” Alisa said, not caring at all.
“Um, Brandon, can you let me actually get to the elevator, to get up to the ballroom?”
“Oh, yes,” Brandon pushed the elevator button. They went upstairs.
“Wow! Nice ballroom they have,” said Alisa, walking in to the ballroom.
“Yeah, it’s not really new to me because my family is the best royal family and we have been invited plenty of times.” Alisa wanted him to be quiet but she knew that would never happen.
“Could you excuse me one sec, Brandon”
“Sure.” Alisa went out of the room and in to the hallway. She took out her I Phone. She went to contact and pressed on Jen. Then a voice came up.
“Hi”
“Jen!”
“You reached Jen. Can’t take your call right now so please leave a message after the beep, thanks!” Alisa hung up. Alisa was so upset. She saw Brandon was coming. She ran and hid. She was behind the pole.
“Alisa! Where are you?” Then he went back inside. Alisa was so glad to get away from him.
Alisa went back in the ballroom. She was hiding from Brandon. Alisa was hiding behind people.
Alisa knew that she had to make a speech. She wanted Jen to be there for that. “There you are.” Alisa knew that voice. It was Brandon. “Oh, you found me Brandon,” said Alisa.
Then an announcer went on the stage and said, “Princess Alisa will not make her speech.” Alisa’s speech was how excited she was to be here and what it meant to be 13.
“Princess Alisa, come up here!”
The music started playing and then stopped. When she got up there, she said, “Thank you, thank you! I am so glad to be here tonight, knowing what it feels like to be a 13 year old teenager princess!” Alisa was so nervous. She barley knew what to say.
“Since I have to get more mature because I am now 13. And I need to be more mature now, so please excuse me. I need to make a quick phone call." Alisa was willing to try to call her again even if it was a message. Alisa took out her phone.
RING! RING!
“Hello?”
“Jen!”
“Alisa?”
“Yeah I’m on the stage in the middle of making my speech and I don’t see you in the audience, and I need you in the audience or up here with me!”
“Really?”
“Really, so now remember that dress you had, that is so gorgeous, why don’t you wear that?”
“Ok, I’ll be right over.”
Alisa knew that she had to tell the audience what had happened. “Sorry, I had to make a really important phone call. It’s a long story. You see, me and my best friend got in two fights. The first one, she got mad at me for not telling her that I was a princess, but then we made up. But then I got mad at her. I got mad at her and, well, I was afraid if she knew that she wouldn’t treat me the same. I thought she wouldn’t like me for who I am. And when she figured out I was a princess, she called me princess, and I was afraid of that. But I shouldn’t have been. So I called her right now and told her I was sorry. And she is coming now.”
Alisa paused, hoping the audience wouldn’t boo her. And then the audience went CRAZY! Everybody was cheering for her! She didn’t know she could do it.
Then Alisa saw Jen walking in to the room.
“Excuse me everybody,” Alisa said while everybody was still cheering. Alisa and Jen ran over to each other with their arms out, ready to give each other a big hug.
“I’m so sorry,” they both said at the same time.
“I should be the one who’s sorry. I shouldn’t have called you princess and I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you for not telling me that you are a princess. I mean we all have secrets.” said Jen.
“No, I should be sorry,” said Jen.
“I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you for calling me princess. I mean, we all make mistakes. Also, I’m sorry for not telling you.”
“Well, I think we both made mistakes, but like you said everybody makes mistakes," said Jen. They gave each other a hug.
Then Bryan came over to them. “Alisa that was a great speech,” he said.
“Wow, thanks Bryan."
Wow, I never thought I would say that before. I mean I thought you were always a little-”
“Selfish? Well I was, but that speech made me think it’s always not about me.”
“Well, thanks. Oh! Bryan this is one of my best friends, Jen!”
“Hi, it’s a pleasure to meet you” said Bryan.
Wow, Alisa was so shocked at how Bryan was acting.
“You too,” said Jen.
“This is the one I was talking about in my speech.” said Alisa.
“Oh, Alisa! I forgot to tell you something. Happy Birthday! And I got you something.”
“You didn’t have to get me anything,” Alisa said to Jen. Then Jen went to get it and she came out with a puppy. Alisa had kittens and cats. Even though she was spoiled, her parents would never let her get a puppy. It was a little puppy.
“YOU GOT ME A PUPPY!” Alisa felt like she was going to cry she was that happy. “You shouldn’t have.”
“But I did. She is a cockapoo.”
“I love her!” Jen put the puppy in Alisa’s arms. “What should I name her? Oh! I got it, what about Amber?” asked Alisa.
“I love that name!” Jen said.
“So do I” said Bryan.
“Uh, Alisa?”
“Yes Bryan?”
“I also got you something.”
“Bryan you didn’t have to.” And then he pulled out a black jewelry case. Alisa opened it. It was a diamond necklace. Alisa put her hand over her mouth.
“Happy birthday” he said.
“It’s so pretty, I love it. Thank you Bryan so much. You too, Jen. These gifts are absolutely wonderful.
“Alisa!” her parents said both at the same time, running over to hug her.
“Mom, dad, look at these gifts,” Alisa said after she hugged her parents. “I got a puppy and a diamond necklace! And I name the puppy Amber and I’m wearing the necklace.”
“Well, you two are wonderful friends,” Alisa’s parents said.
“Thank you,” Bryan and Jen said at the both time.
“Well we better go after the party tonight to the pet store,” said her father.
“Yes, we should,” said her mother.
“Do you think we can ask if they can play a fast song?” asked Alisa.
“Probably,” said her mother. Alisa went over to the guy.
“Do you have any fast songs you can play?”
“Sure,” he said. And the song started playing. Alisa, Jen, and Bryan were dancing together. Finally Alisa got a night of her dreams!

When I last left off, Alisa was dancing at the World Famous Ball with Jen and Bryan. Alisa had a great time that night. She got a puppy and a diamond necklace and all sorts of gifts because she turned 13. But while her mother and father were dancing on the floor, they were thinking, thinking about something they saw in the royal newspaper the other day.
“WHAT????????” Alisa screamed the next morning. “We’re moving?” Alisa was so upset. “We’re moving to France? How can we be?! Mving after it’s been almost two months since I met Jen. And now me and Bryan are friends too. This is just the perfect time to move! And why France? Why so far away?”
“We were looking in the newspaper and saw a kingdom twice the size of this and a bigger closet for you,” said her father. Amber (Alisa’s dog she got from Jen.) came up to Alisa, and Alisa picked her up.
“We can’t be moving to France.”
“But we are,” said her mother.
“If I tell Jen this she will be so upset and today is our friendship month anniversary. And it’s the summer, school just ended.” (Alisa came late in the year.) “I really don’t want to move.”
“I know you don’t, but it’s what’s best for the family, honey,” said Alisa’s mom.
“When are we leaving?” asked Alisa.
“This weekend,” said her father. And it was Monday.
“You should start packing,” her mother said.
Alisa didn’t know how she was going to go through every part of her closet and her suitcases. She was going to need a lot of suitcases. She was thinking she could call up a servant or a maid or somebody to get all of her cloths out of all of her worlds she has in her closet. But she decided she should just do it herself.
She went to Luggage World and got suitcases. Then she went to Winter World. There was a lot of stuff in Winter World. Alisa wasn’t going to do everything that day. She was going to do a little each day and then hopefully by Sunday she would have it all packed up.
By 10:30 am Alisa mostly had Winter World packed up. Alisa was resting on her bed watching TV when Jen came up to her bedroom. (Alisa’s parents didn’t tell Jen yet.)
“Oh, hi,” said Alisa.
“Hi,” said Jen. “I got you something for the month anniversary.” Jen pulled out a charm for their bracelets. It was a sandal. Then Alisa pulled out a dog charm.
“Jen, I have to tell you something.”
“What,” said Jen?
“Well, my parents told me something earlier this morning… and, well, I don’t know how to tell you because you are my best friend. . . .So I will just come out and say it… .I am moving to France.”
“What!?” Jen’s mouth dropped open. “You’re moving to France?”
“Well, sort of.” said Alisa.
“You’re kidding. right?”
“I wish I was.”
“But we have only known each other for almost about two months,” said Jen.
“I know we have, and I really, really don’t want to move,” said Alisa.
“When are you moving?” asked Jen.
“This weekend,” said Alisa sounding very upset.
“Oh” said Jen, very upset too.
“Look, I don’t want to move. but my parents. they found a castle twice the size of this one. Trust me, I really don’t want to move.” Jen’s eyes started to get all watery. “I’ll really miss you” said Jen.
“I’ll miss you, too,” Alisa said while her eyes started to get all watery too. They hugged each other.
“Why do you have to move? I mean who am I going to hang out with always? Who am I going to talk to all the time? Who am I going to sit with at lunch all the time? I mean, I'm really going to miss you, a lot, Alisa."
“That's going to happen to me too in France," said Alisa.
"But you can actually make friends in France. Who am I going to make friends with in school?"
"A lot of people. Come on, you have a bunch of friends in Ree. Trust me, I really don't want to move. I really want to stay here with you and Bryan and, well, a bunch of other people. I mean France is so far away, and I really want to stay here."
"I guess I will help you pack up," said Jen in a really sad voice.
"Are you sure because my closet is REALLY BIG."
"I know" Jen said.
"Well thanks. Also I forgot to tell you we could call each other and write back to each other."
"Well, that is true," said Jen.
"Well, we better start packing my stuff up."
"Yeah."
They went into Alisa's closet. Jen knew most of Alisa's closet, so she usually doesn't get lost. They went to a couple of different worlds in Alisa's closet, but soon they got tired. They decided to go for a walk. They decided to get their minds off of Alisa moving so they went to get an ice cream.
"One chocolate in a cup with chocolate sprinkles" said Alisa.
"I'll have the same," Jen said.
"So," said Alisa.
"Yeah?" said Jen.
"I don't know, I just wanted to say ‘so’ for some reason."
Jen giggled. "I can't believe it. France. It's so far away."
"I know," said Alisa.
The day before Alisa moved
Well, Alisa was packing up the rest of her closet. She had at least 24 suitcases packed. Alisa was thinking about how much she was going to miss her friends when she was in France.
"Alisa? Hello? Alisa, where are you, honey?" It was her mother.
"I'm in here," said Alisa.
"Oh, there you are. Are you all packed up?"
"Mostly."
"Good, because we’re leaving at 9:30 am tomorrow, and I just want to make sure you’re going to be all packed up."
"Ok, well I'm almost done."
"Ok.”
When Alisa was done packing her WHOLE ENTIRE CLOSET she sat down on her bed thinking what it would be like to go to a new school and meet new people and be living in a new castle and not seeing Jen and all her other friends that she had made. Alisa sighed.
Alisa went to the game room where she had a bunch of her games and decided to play on her Wii. Alias was in the middle of playing the Wii game when her I phone started ringing.
“Hello?”
“Alisa is it true, are you moving to France?”
“Bryan?”
“Yeah, Jen just told me and you’re leaving tomorrow?”
“Yeah, I know, kind of sudden.”
“Yeah” said Bryan.
“Well, me and Jen are going to get lunch together. Do you want to go with us?”
“Sure.”
“Meet me at my house at 12:30.”
“Ok.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
It was 11:45. Alisa didn’t want to play on the Wii so she went on the couch in the game room. (There is a TV and a couch in the game room.) She lied down and turned on the TV and soon fell asleep.
Dream:
“Honey, we have some news” said Alisa’s mother.
“Yeah?”
“We’re not moving to France after all!” said her parents.
“REALLY?”
“Yup!”
“YES!”
. . . . . . . .
“Alisa, Alisa, ALISA!”
“WHAT?” Alisa fell off the couch. It was Jen.
“I had a dream I wasn’t moving to France.”
“Too bad that can’t come true.”
“Yeah. Oh! I forgot to tell you. I invited Brandon to have lunch with us.”
“Great!”
Ding Dong!
“Hi is Alisa and Jen here?” asked Brandon.
“Oh yes there in the game room” said Alisa’s mother.
“Thank you.” Brandon went downstairs and found the girls.
“Hey Brandon” said Alisa.
“Hey Brandon” said Jen.
“Hey. So where are we going for lunch?”
“Well, since I’m moving to France, and I won’t see you guys for a long time, I was thinking a picnic on the beach.”
“Sounds fine to me” Jen said.
“Me too” Said Bryan.
So Alisa, Jen, and Bryan walked to the beach, laid out a picnic blanket, and sat down.
“I can’t believe you’re moving to France” said Bryan.
“I know. But I will try to call you guys and email you. But I just really don’t want to move. I really don’t want to.”
So they all ate together and tried to get the thought of Alisa moving out of their heads. When they were all done eating they went back to Alisa’s house. They decided to play on the Wii. Later at 6:00, Alisa’s mother came downstairs to ask Jen and Bryan if they wanted to eat there. Jen and Bryan called their parents to ask and they said yes because it was a Friday.
Dinner
“So how big is the castle?” asked Jen.
“Oh, it’s about twice the size of this one,” said Alisa’s father to Jen.
“Why do we have to move?” asked Alisa.
“Oh honey, you have been asking that for a week now,” Alisa’s mother said.
“What’s for dessert?” asked Alisa.
“Chef Tom’s Famous Cake.”
“Yum.”
After dinner they had dessert. It was delicious!
When Bryan had to go home, Alisa and Jen asked if they could have a sleepover. Her parents said yes, but they would have to get up early tomorrow. They said that was fine. Jen and Alisa went to her house to got all of Jen’s stuff. When they went back to Alisa’s house they went up to her room. In her castle they had a sleepover room. Before they went to Alisa’s room, they put their stuff in the sleepover room. They got dressed in their pajamas and went downstairs to the sleepover room.
“It’s so hard to believe that you’re moving to France,” said Jen.
“I know,” said Alisa. They sighed and tried to get that out of their minds. They brought the Wii into the Sleepover room, and they played it for a little while. When they didn’t want to play on the Wii anymore, they decided to watch some TV. Soon it was 10:45 and they were still watching some TV.
1:55 in the morning…
Jen and Alisa fell asleep. The light was turned off but the TV was still on.
“Jen, Jen,” said Alisa half asleep. “We fell asleep.” Alisa just fell back asleep.
Alisa’s Dream. . . .
“C’mon Alisa, you know you want to move to France,” said Jen.
“No, I don’t want to. I’m trying to convince my parents to stay here.” Jen crossed her arms.
“What? I don’t, and you even know that.”
“But, you told me that you didn’t want to move. But it doesn’t seem like you really care if you move or you don’t move.”
“UHH!”
Alisa was still sound asleep. Until someone came up to her and started licking Jen and Alisa’s face.
“Jen is something licking our face?”
“I think so.”
They looked up. It was Amber. They smiled and then went back to sleep.
Then they felt something tickling them. They opened their eyes. It was Bella. They smiled again. They decided to get up.
“Hi mom.”
“Hi Mrs.Touris.”
“Hello girls. While I’m making your breakfast why don’t you guys go get ready for the day.”
“Ok. But breakfast looks good.”
“Yeah, Mrs. Touris it does look good.”
Mrs. Touris smiled and said, “Thank you”.
They got dressed and brushed their teeth and brushed their hair. Alisa’s cloths were on her bed because everything was in the limo. They did everything they were supposed to do and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Then it was time to leave. Bryan came to say goodbye. Alisa went to say goodbye to Bryan first.
"I'll miss you," Alisa said sounding very upset. But then Bryan dropped down to Alisa's foot.
"PLEASE DON'T GO!!!!"
"Bryan, it's ok."
"I'm all right," Bryan said wiping his eyes.
Alisa went over to Jen. They just gave each other a big hug. They both were almost crying.
"Why do you have to go?"
"I'm sorry. But I will write you a lot, both of you, I will. And I will call you both. too. I really don't want to go. Jen and Alisa hugged again and Bryan joined in. too.
"Honey, we’re going to be late for our plane."
"Ok, I'm coming. I'll miss you guys.”
"We will, too."
Alisa got in the limo. They were in the parking lot of the airport. They got on their plane. Alisa wanted to go back to Jen and Bryan, but it was too late. The plane just took off. Alisa was looking out the window of the plane. She sighed. Soon Alisa fell asleep on the plane. She woke up to a voice that said, "We will arriving to France very momentarily." Alisa wished she could go back. They arrived at the airport in France. They grabbed their luggage and took the limo to their new castle.
"Wow," Alisa said with her mouth open, looking at the castle. They grabbed their luggage into the house. They walked inside. It was WAY bigger than their other castle. It was nighttime in France and it was sunny back in Los Angles, where Bryan and Jen were. It was about 8:30pm in France and it was 9:30am in Los Angles.
Back in Los Angles
"She is probably in France by now." said Bryan.
"Yeah."
"Why can't she come back? Or why can't we go to France?” asked Bryan.
Jen raised her eyebrows up and down two times.
"Oh, no, I'd do anything for Alisa, but I'm not going to France," said Bryan.
"Oh, just come on."
"Fine."
Jen and Bryan got on a flight to France.
Back in France
Alisa sighed. Her room wasn't the same. Her closet was bigger but not the same, and, most importantly, Jen and Bryan weren't there. Alisa had just finished unpacking. Alisa went down for dinner.
Jen and Bryan on the plane to France
"Bryan, do you know if we’re almost there?"
"Um, here let me ask. Excuse me, madam, do you know when we will arrive in France?"
"Oh, we are landing right about now."
"Thank you."
Jen and Bryan landed, and they were in France.
"Do you know Alisa's address?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah, let's get a taxi."
"You mean limo," said Bryan.
"You're right," Jen said with a smile on her face. Bryan smiled back. They arrived at Alisa's castle.
"Wow," they both said at the same time. They knocked on the door. Alisa answered the door.
“JEN? BRYAN? YOU’RE HERE? IN FRANCE? I CAN’T BELIEVE IT=http://!!!!”
They hugged.
“Mom, dad, guess who is here?”
“Who?” they asked.
“Jen and Bryan.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
In Alisa’s new room
“So you should start packing up, right?” asked Jen.
“Yeah, Jen’s right, Alisa. You have a lot to pack up,” said Bryan.
“What do you mean? Asked Alisa confused.
“We mean, go back with us to Los Angles,” said Jen and Bryan.
“I can’t just go back to Los Angles. After, well, I just moved here, I just can’t go back!”
“But you have to,” said Jen.
“So, you just want me to go back after all of this and let my parents down? I can’t do that. Because if you want me to do that your not real friends.” Alisa walked away angrily. Jen and Bryan gave a glance at each other, and then chased after Alisa.
“ALISA!!” they yelled. But they couldn’t find Alisa, because she was hiding.
“So I guess we should go get tickets back to Los Angles,” said Jen.
“Yeah” agreed Bryan. And they left.
Alisa sighed. She heard the door shut, and knew that they were on their way back to Los Angles.
Back in Los angles
“I guess we did that for nothing,” said Bryan.
“Yeah” agreed Jen. But then they saw a girl. It looked like Alisa, AND IT WAS ALISA=http://! They ran to Alisa and hugged her.
“I’m staying in Los Angles!”
“YES!” Jen and Bryan said.
“And we’re sorry,” Jen and Bryan both said at the same time. Alisa said 3 last words: “I forgive you.”

On Tuesday I went to get my haircut. Now this was a regular haircut but a haircut for "Locks of Love," too! My hair was almost down to my waist. Also it was hard to brush. So my mom and I were thinking about cutting for Locks of Love.
Locks of Love is a charity for people who have cancer. They have to take chemotherapy which is a medicine people with cancer have to take and it makes the cancer go away. But when you take cheemotherapy it also causes your hair to fall out. So you donate your hair to Locks of Love, and they make your hair into a wig for the people with cancer. The people with cancer don't have to wear a wig, they can wear a bandana or they don't have to wear anything on their head at all.
So, I went to the hair salon [I waited for it to grow.), and they measured it. It was 8 inches. It was enough! She first braided my hair and then 1,2,3, a little bit of snips, and it was gone. Then I got a regular haircut, and they cut off maybe another inch. Now I have hair that's a tiny bit longer then my chin!

When I was in 2nd grade and my brother was in 5th we had a big surprise that me and my brother had no idea was coming. . . .
It was a Tuesday night and me and my family had Chinese food. I decided to have a fortune cookie. I opened it up and read my fortune aloud, “A big surprise is coming your way.” I just put the fortune down and had the cookie.
Next day afternoon at school. . . .
It was a Wednesday afternoon and my dad was on a business trip. It was choice time and I was playing on the rug with my friend. My teacher called me over. She handed me an envelope.
“Can you give this to your mom? You’re not in trouble, it’s just a letter I need you to give her for me.”
"Ok.”
“Thank you.” I went back to playing on the rug. School ended, and my brother and I walked out to school and got in to the car and said hi to my mom.
“You two will be missing violin and hockey practice.”
“Why?” Me and my brother asked.
“Because we're going to Disney World!!!!”
“WHAT?? REALLY?”
“Yup, you’re dad is already there. That’s where he had to go for his business trip.” I started crying I was so happy.
“The cab is coming to pick us up so when we get home we will be there for only 5 minutes.”
“Ok.”
At home. . . .
“Did both of you two get letters from your teachers?”
“Yes, what are they for?
“There for you. Open them.”
I opened mine and the letter was about Disney World. It said we hope you have fun.
“So our teachers knew about it too?”
“Yup.”
The cab driver arrived and we carried our luggage to the car.
In the car. . . .
“I can’t believe it!” I said.
“It’s only for 3 days,” my mom said.
We arrived at the airport and got on to the plane.
When we arrived. . . .
“We're here!!”
We got off the plane.
“We're supposed to meet your father here. We got our luggage and then we found my dad. I ran over and gave him a big hug. I was so excited to be there. We got in to a cab and drove to the hotel. We entered an EZpass thing that said welcome to Disney World. We arrived at the hotel and we went to bed because it was already night time. I got under the covers and closed my eyes and went to sleep.
The next morning. . . .
It was the next morning and I was so happy, I couldn’t wait to go all the rides and see Mickey and Minney and all those characters. I brushed my teeth. Then we went to the Magic Kingdom.
“Which ride do you guys want to go on first?” my dad asked.
“What about Space Mountain?” my mom said.
We said, "yes!"
I had so much fun!!

A couple of weeks ago I got a cell phone. It’s called the Nv2. (I'm not sure if that’s how you spell it.) When you open it, it’s a keyboard. I wasn’t supposed to get a phone until 5th grade graduation. But my parents said that I’ve been mature and that I have been helping around the house a lot. So they said I was allowed to get a cell phone. I love my phone! It rocks! I text a lot! If I didn’t get a texting plan it would cost over 1, 0000 dollars probably. I give a special thanks to my parents! Thank you so much!!

My class and all the other 5th grade classes went on a field trip to the Maritime Aquarium to see the Lewis and Clark movie in IMAX. All the 5th grade classes are working on the big trip of Lewis and Clark. The trip took about two years! The day of the field trip the 5th grade took two buses. It was about a 45 minute trip. When we arrived, we entered this BIG movie theater. When we all got our seats a voice came on the speakers. It said, “Welcome to the Maritime Aquarium. The screen is 6 stories high. We hope you enjoy the Lewis and Clark Expedition.” Then the movie started. It looked like we were actually there it was so cool!! We were all like, "Whoa!!" I thought it was interesting!! I had a lot of fun!!

Attention to whoever is reading this right now. You are about to hear my review for the movie "Enchanted." OK, here it goes.
"Enchanted" is a Fantasy/Comedy. It is basically a twisted story of all the princess movies: Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Sleeping Beauty and all those princesses. It is a perfect movie for kids and their parents.
It's about this girl named Gisele who is waiting for her true love to come. At first, she is an animated world. When she finally meets her true love, Prince Edward, they get married. A witch like the witch in Snow White is disguised as an old lady and takes her to a wishing well. The witch tells her to lean in closely and make a wish. Giselle leans in and says, "And they lived happily ever. . . ." What you're probably thinking is. . .YES! PUSH! The queen pushes Giselle into the well. You think she is still in an animated world, but think again. She actually ends up in New York City! And she's coming out of the sewer. She has no idea what's happening. She has no idea where she is. Everyone is looking at her. She has on a big puffy wedding dress. So she walks around a little, trying to get help but everyone thinks she is crazy. Then it's starts raining, and she is roaming around New York City. So she is walking around New York, and she sees this billboard. On the billboard there is a castle. And of course she thinks it's a real castle. She tries to climb up on to the billboard. A taxi passes by, and in the taxi is a man name Robert. His little seven year old daughter really likes princesses, and she sees Gissele in the billboard. She tells her dad, and her dad tells her it's a mannequin. The little girl, whose name is Morgan, jumps out of the car and runs to the sidewalk which is under the billboard and. . . .
Well, you'll just have to see the movie to find out the rest!! And I'm telling you I think it's a great movie!

This week something something big happened. My brother had a hockey game. Me and my mom didn't go, only my brother and my dad. So we got a call and my dad said my brother got hurt. He got hit into the boards with his shoulder. My brother got right off the ice, and my dad asked if he wanted to go back on and he said no. My dad said there must be something wrong, because he usually wants to go back on the ice. So my dad called us when he was on the highway to ask where a hospital was near the place where he was playing. My mom gave him directions and said to call us back to see what happened to him. Later my dad called and said that my brother sprained his clavicle. My mom was upset. Later we called them, and my dad said that he actually fractured it. So I made him a card. He has a sling on him. I feel so bad for him!!

What do you do if you don't know what to write about? Well, you came to the write (right) website. I will give you one thing, DON'T JUST SIT THERE!! THINK!!
I'm just kidding, but really don't just sit there. Some things that you can write about are nonfiction or fiction. Those are your first main topics you have to think about. If you decide if you want to write about nonfiction then you can write an article. Maybe a review of a movie or even a book, some event that has happened in your life, or a trip. If you have a pet maybe you could write about that or write about when you got your pet. You could write maybe just about you and what you like. And if you're writing a fiction story, you just really have to think and be creative! Actually you have to be creative all the time in writing!
So don't just sit there doing nothing. Go ahead and grab a piece of paper and a pencil and get started writing!

One time (It was probably like 2 or 3 years ago.) my brother had his friend over. They always fight about who gets to sit in the front in the car. My mom was out grocery shopping so my dad had to take us somewhere. My brother and his friend raced to get to the front seat, and my brother got it first. So I went to him to say to let me in the car with him. He wouldn't let me. But then he opened the door a little and closed it, and, , ,OW! By accident he closed the door on my finger! He opened the door right away. I was crying. I went in, and ran to my dad. He asked me what was wrong. I think I was crying and too much in pain to answer him. But I finally got to say what happened. My dad got an ice pack. He said that he would take me to my mom over at the grocery store. It hurt so bad. My brother said he was sorry. My dad and I found my mom, and I stayed with her. I finally got better about maybe a couple of days later.

Most of you have read the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid and its stories, the first one and the Rodrick Rules one and the latest new one, Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Last Straw. I'm going to give you my review on the first one. Don't worry, I won't give anything away.
This book is about a kid named Greg Heffley. His mom got him a diary and he wasn't that thrilled about it. He tells you not to expect him writing, "Dear Diary this and dear diary that." So you could tell that he isn't that really into the diary that much. Then he basically explains his life.
I thought it was a very good book. It made me laugh and laugh. It's a book for all ages. You will love it. Even parents could read it to their children and enjoy the laughter. So don't just sit there and do nothing. Go ahead and pick up a Diary of a Wimpy kid book today!

A couple of years ago I got a scar on my thumb. And I'm going to tell you the story of how I got that scar on my thumb.
It was one or two years ago. I had a babysitter. She was one of my neighbors. She said that I could ask some of my other neighbors to come over and ride their bikes.
So I went over to my neighbor's house and asked them, and they said sure. We had an idea to have a race, two against two. So I thought to myself, sure why not?
This is how the race went. Two people would wait at the end of the hill and wait for their teammate to come down to the hill and slap their hand so they could go.
What happened was when I went to slap my teammate's hand, I put out my hand, lost balance, and fell with my hand right beside me. It hurt so much. You cannot believe how much it hurt. My thumb was bleeding and it was. . .was. . .JUST DISGUSTING!!
My babysitter saw and took me to her house because her dad was a doctor. I put it under water and my babysitter called my parents. My dad was coming home soon anyway.
I had to use the computer because it was my right thumb and I couldn't hold the pencil. Even today I still have the scar. And whenever I look at it I remember the memory and everything that happened.

Lyrics by Hannah Montana
Sung by CheerGirl and TapGirl
Sometimes I walk a little faster
In the school hallway
Just to get next to you
Some days I spend a little extra
Time in the morning
Just to impress you
[PRE 1]
Guess you don't notice
Guess you don't need this
Why you're not seein' what you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dyin' to say
[CHORUS 1]
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
[VERSE 2]
Sometimes I wish when the phone rings
That it would be you
Saying let's hang out
Then you confess
That there's something special between us
Why don't we find out
[PRE 2]
you don't even know me
Guess you don't need me
Why you're not seein' what you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dyin' to say
[CHORUS]
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a...
[BRIDGE]
...rock star
If you only knew the real me
I might even be a rock star
I'm telling you that we are meant to be
Now wouldn't it be nice if you could see
That I really am a rock star
[CHORUS]
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
Rocking it where ever we are

Over the summer I went to Six Flags, New Jersey. I've been to Six Flags before, but that day I was planning to ride the world's fastest wooden roller coaster, El Toro! (That's spanish for bull.)
When we were parking in the parking lot, I SAW IT! Right then I knew why it was called The Bull. First of all, the whole roller coaster was huge, and I was just really focusing on the huge drop in the beginning. Somehow I was so scared to go on it, but also somehow I wanted to ride it SO BADLY!! The drop went completely straight down. And I still wanted to go on it. I saw other people riding it, and I could hear their screams.
Since I had been talking about the ride ever since my parents told me that we could go to Six Flags, they said we could go on that ride first. When we got to the ride I measured myself and I was tall enough. I think all you had to be was about 48 inches. My heart was pounding, and there was no line. I was so excited. I couldn't wait to get on that ride with my family. There were two coasters riding and there was only a little of a line so it did not take long.
Then it was our turn to go on the El Toro. My dad and I were in front of my mom and brother, but we weren't the first cart. When the ride starts off you go on a hill, then you turn, then. . . WE WENT DOWN THE HILL!! I was screaming but loving the ride at the same time.
The ride is personally one of my favorite rides ever. I had so much fun.

Lyrics by Miley Cyrus
Sung by CheerGirl & TapGirl (click the links at the end of the lyrics)
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin',
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I might not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Yea
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Woh-oh-oh-oh

Tuesday I had my first softball game. My dad is one of the coaches. It was SO cold outside, and it kept drizzling. But we still played. My team is a lot of fun to hang around with. No matter what we're doing, either out on the field or waiting to bat, we're always having a good time with each other. Even though it was my first softball game, I was having a lot of fun.
We didn’t get to finish the whole entire game because it got dark out. We still need to finish it. But when we stopped the game, we were winning 10-5.
The first time I got up to bat I struck out, but the second time I got up I got a foul call. (It could have been a hit but it just went outside of third base.) Then I got a walk.
The positions I played were second base two times and outfield once. Once when we finish the game I think I’m playing outfield and shortstop.
Softball is one of my favorite sports to play. It’s a lot of fun to play!

Have you ever had a crazy day before? Not CRAZY, crazy. If you don’t get it, maybe this story will help you get it.
My friend TapGirl and I were getting out of Choir. We went to pick up my next door neighbor at the main office. I had to pick up my neighbor and TapGirls’s mom and my mom were having a meeting with our principal Ms.Amon about the 5th grade graduation. So TapGirl and I and my neighbor sat down waiting for my mom and her mom. When our parents finally came out, I said goodbye to TapGirl. We drove home and I dropped off my neighbor. My brother came out because we had to drive him to his baseball game in the Bronx, which is about a 20 minute ride from where I live. We drove my brother to the game. No one is there. We drive around looking for someone. No one from his team was there still. My mom brought the schedule with her so she checked the time. It got changed to 5:15. We thought it was 4:15. So my brother says, "Why we don’t go home" because he forgot his cleats. We went home and he got his cleats. We went back. And guess what? No one was there. So we drive around for about 15 minutes. Still no one was there. My brother brought his I-pod Touch with him and it gets Internet. He checked my mom’s email. The game got canceled! We got dinner and went back home. Then we had to drive my brother to hockey tryouts. We dropped him of, and me and my mom got back. We had a message on the answering machine. My mom checked it. It was my brother. He said that when he got there his team was already on the ice! So we went to pick him up. And that was our crazy day!

How I Got Rid Of My Teacher 2
Hey, it’s Megan. You guys might have heard the teacher that I got rid of Ms.. . .uh, well, you know her name, the really long name. Well, the story is NOT over just yet, because things did not get any better. They got WORSE.
It was a Tuesday morning, and Mr. Stockfofruit, our principal, walked in.
“Class, as you may know your teacher, Ms. whatever her name is, got fired.”
The class cheered.
“But you will have a substitute.”
The class stopped cheering as soon as they heard the word “Substitute.” Now, I don’t believe in the word “Substitute” because the last time we ever had a “Substitute” the class. . . .Well, let’s just say the almost half of her hair came off because one of the kids in my class had scissors and. . . .Why don’t I just stop there.
Well, anyway, a beautiful lady came. She had beautiful blond hair and a big smile on her face. She had a bag with her. In it were cupcakes and games. I thought to myself, “Maybe this will turn out good?” Mr. Stockfofruit said, “Everyone, I would like you to meet Mrs. Smiles.”
“I would just like to say it is an honor teaching you,” said Mrs. Smiles.
She wrote her name on the chalk board.
“Well, I better leave you to teaching,” our principal said. He left. She smiled at us. And we smiled back. The class was silent for a little while. You could hear a pin drop. She sat down. Seven minutes passed by. My friend Sally was next to me. She whispered, “Hey Megan, 10 minutes have almost passed. I mean, are we just going to sit here or do something.”
“I have no clue.”
I had no idea what Mrs. Smiles was up to. All she was doing was smiling at us. Then she turned her head to me. She stared and smiled at me for a good 5 minutes. I did not have a good feeling about this. Then she wrote something on the board. I couldn’t really see what she was writing because she was blocking the board, but then I saw something she wrote on the board. She wrote, “Do this now.” Then she moved out of the way. Then I saw what she wrote underneath that. What she wrote was “x+9=7+5+p-g+9+=__” I thought this lady is crazy!
I told myself this problem is not for me! So I didn’t do it. But then the strangest thing happened. I made myself grab the pencil. But I didn’t do it. I mean I did it, but I felt like I wasn’t the one controlling myself. Then it happened again with me and my notebook. I took a deep breath and tried to put my notebook and pencil down, but I couldn’t! Definitely Mrs. Smiles was doing this. But how? And I bet Mrs. Smiles isn’t even her name!
Mrs. Smiles came over to me and whispered in my ear in a mean voice, “Having trouble with something?”
“Okay, why can’t I control myself?” I said while writing down the problem.
“You’ll see.”
She went over to the black board and wrote, “Stop.” I finally was able to let go of the pencil. Then I figured it out. Whatever Mrs. Smiles wrote on the board would come true!
I whispered to Sally, “I don’t think this teacher is as nice as she seems to be.”
“Why do you think that?"
"Now class, I'm not who you think I am." She took off her gloves. Long nails came out. She took off her hat. Green hair! I looked at the cupcakes she brought. They had turned into slugs!
“RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" I screamed! Everyone raced to the doors, they were locked down!
Mrs. Smiles (which I really don't think her name was), her voce started to sound really squeaky.
I went over to Sally. "THAT’S why. And I think she is a --
"Hush! There will be no talking in my class! Oh, and yes, were you about to say A WITCH, Megan? Well, you'd be correct!" She laughed.
"Oh! And you can call me Mrs. Witch."
"Wow, you have really simple names." I said. “Oh, yeah, and one more question,” I said. “What was up with the chalkboard thingy?”
“Oh, you see, my dear, that’s how I get started.”
“Okay?”
“You see, it’s in my substitute/witch book.” She took out a pot.
“What are you doing with that pot?”
“Now which one of you should I cook up? Perhaps all of you?!” The class screamed.
“I’ll be right back.” Mrs. Witch yelled. The door closed.
“Okay, what are we going to do?” I asked.
“We have the weirdest teachers ever,” said a boy named John in my class.
Sally stood up, “Are we having her for the rest of the school year?”
I said back, “We might not even have her for the next few hours because we might get eaten.”
“There has to be someway out,” Sally said.
“Hey, look!” said Tyler, one kid in my class. “There’s her broom stick.”
“So?”
“So, her broomstick must be powerful, so there could be a chance we can get out of here.”
“That might be actually not a bad idea.”
So I made my way over to the broomstick. There was a power button. I pressed it a button called “fly mode.” It didn’t budge.
“I think she put a lock on this.”
“Wow, she really thought this plan out” said Sally.
I was still sitting on the broom. Then I heard a SNAP.
“Uh, oh.” The broom snapped like a twig.
“This can’t be good.” I fell to the ground.
“Quick” said Sally. “I think the witch is coming. Put it in the supply closet.”
“Good thinking.” I rushed my way over to the supply closet and threw the broom in. “Quick, act natural.” Everybody went to there seat and started whistling.
The witch came in.
“I was gone for 5 minutes to go look for an ingredient, and why do I come back to all of the class whistling. . . ? Must be a human thing.”
“Did you find the ingredient?” I asked.
“No, but I might just have some in my bag.” She went in to her bag, and asked a question that I was hoping she would never ask. “Where is my broom?” I and my class were speechless.
“We don’t know. It’s not like we ever touched it.” I said. The witch came right over to me and looked at me straight in the eye.
“I did not touch it.”
“You filthy kids hid it didn’t you? Well, guess what, your plan is ruined, because I will find it, that broom. And also I bet you don’t know that witches have an excellent sense of smell. I have been with my broom FOREVER so I have an EXCELLENT sense of smell for my broom.
She went sniffing around. She got to the closet. She took a big sniff at the closet. But then she went on to the next place. Then she came back to the closet. She put her hand on the door knob. And did the worst thing I could’ve imagined. . . .She opened the door! She saw her broom and picked it up, but she could only pick up half of it because it was broken.
She did NOT look happy at all.
“WHO BROKE MY BROOM?!” The whole school shook, she shouted so loud. Our principal came in.
“Mrs. Smiles was that coming from --.” He saw Mrs. Witch. “By any chance, what is going on here?”
“I can explain.”
“That’s what they all say. Goodbye whatever your name is.” The class cheered. And that’s how I got rid of my teacher. . .AGAIN!

July 3rd
Dear Alli,
How’s it going at camp? It’s so sad that we can barley see each other through the summer. I mean, you’re in camp for about the whole summer, and I’m going to be in Hawaii for about another month. Wish you could be here with me, and I wish I could be there with you.
See you in August!
Sincerely,
Jessica
P.S Can’t wait until you get home because we have two weeks all to ourselves. But then school. :(
As you can see, I was writing to my best friend Alli because I’m in Hawaii and she is on the other side of the country in North Carolina for Sleep Away Camp. You see, we always hand out during the summers, but since we are going to sixth grade her mom wanted her to go to sleep away camp and my family planned for us to go to Hawaii for two months. Besides Alli not being here, I’m really enjoying Hawaii. It’s so beautiful! Especially the beaches. There was a mailbox outside our hotel. I licked the envelope and placed it in the mailbox. As I was walking back in to the lobby, I was thinking about tomorrow, 4th of July. But the only sad thing is, Alli is not here to spend it with me. Last year we would go on the deck of my house and watch the fireworks and she would usually sleepover. It was tradition.
Morning of 4th of July
I really thought it would take a couple of days for Alli to get my letter and send it back, but she must have really been expecting a letter because I got the letter today. I went out to my mom to tell her. She was sitting out on the beach.
“Hey, Mom, I got the letter back from Alli.” I ripped the envelope open. I read it out loud:
Dear Jessica,
Camp is going well. But it would be better if it was the both of us. Anyway, how is Hawaii? I told you it was beautiful too. And I forgot to tell you, happy 4th of July! I bet you will watch the fireworks much later than me because of the six hour time difference! Anyway, enjoy the fireworks!
Sincerely,
Alli :)
P.S You’re right, we do have two weeks to ourselves!
I ran into our hotel room and grabbed a pen as soon as I could. I got a piece of paper and wrote,
Dear Alli,
Happy 4th of July to you too! Hawaii is good and you were right, it is beautiful. It’s good to have a best friend who went to the same place as me. So, are you excited about sixth grade? Well, I think it will be a little weird because we were so used to being the oldest ones in the school, but now we’re going to be the youngest. Well, got to go have breakfast bye! :)
Sincerely,
Jessica
I ran to have breakfast and put my bathing suit on. Today we were just spending the day at the beach and the pool. I ran to my mom outside and put down a beach chair. I was trying to get a tan. I mean, I’m in Hawaii! I need to get a tan!
I don’t know how, but mine and Alli’s letters were getting to each other so fast! It was weird being away from Alli. We always spent the summers together. It started to get late but my family and I just kept sitting there for the fireworks. It started to get darker out. Then I heard a boom! The fireworks were starting! Oh! They were gorgeous! All the colors you could imagine and a pitch black night for the background! Oh, how beautiful were they. The fireworks ended late. It was getting around 10:00, but me and my parents were wide awake from the fireworks! We went to get Hawaiian ice creams. They were actually really good!
July 5th
The next morning I woke up and went outside to check the hotel mail. But there was nothing from Alli. Maybe the mail was slow?
July 6th
I went to check the mail. Nothing, again. Was Alli mad at me? Did I say something wrong in my letter? So I went to ask my mom. She didn't know why either.
July 7th
Nothing.
July 8th
SOMETHING!
Dear Jessica,
Sorry I haven't written in a long time. I haven't found a lot of time to write. How were the fireworks? Ours were good. Oh! And guess what? I met this girl, Lily, who will be going to our school next year, and we have been spending a lot of time together. She's a really nice girl. I can't wait for you to meet her. Well, I got to go. Me and Lily are going swimming in the lake.
Sincerly,
Alli
P.S Maybe next year we can all go to this camp! :-)
I had no idea what to write back. Was this girl Lily trying to replace me? Has Alli told her all about me and her secrets? I was getting worried. What was I supposed to write back to her “are you trying to replace me?” I was going to wait a day or two.
July 9th
Well, I got something from Alli today.
Dear I don't want to say your name because it's the weirdest name ever!
Let me just say something. You’re stupid, weird, gross, lame, and the worst friend anyone could ever have!
Alli
I just stood there with my mouth open. I could not believe my eyes. I did not understand why she wrote this. So I wrote back….
Dear Alli,
What did I do? I don’t understand why you are writing this.
Jessica
North Carolina…….
“Hey, Lily, I got something back from Jessica.” Alli read it. “What am I talking about?”! What is she talking about?! While Alli was reading over the letter, Lily smiled.
Hawaii…
I have been very confused over the past couple of days. I just got the meanest letter from my best friend. And I had no idea what to write back. But, I got a letter back from her…
Dear Jessica,
What are you talking about?
Alli
So I grabbed a pen and wrote
Dear Alli,
The letter you wrote me where you said I was, mean, gross, stupid etc.
Jessica
Well, I got the letter back the next day. I think the mail man was getting annoyed at me and Alli with all these letters. Anyway, the letter said…
Dear Jessica,
I never wrote anything about that. I would never say anything like that.
Alli.
Dear Alli,
Well OK.
Jessica
I went on the beach and sat there in the sand for a little while. I was TOATALLY confused. But then I got a thought. Could someone else be writing these letters? Could Lily? - I knew it! She is sabotaging me and Alli’s letters. I knew this girl was trying to wreck me and Alli’s friendship.
Dear Alli,
I don’t think this girl Lily is so nice, because I think she is-
I crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it in the garbage. I can’t write a letter like that for two reasons. First reason, what if Lily reads it and throws it away so Alli won’t see it. And second, Alli wouldn’t believe me. I mean really think about it, what was I supposed to write? Dear Alli, I think your friend Lily is trying to sabotage our friendship. Then she would think that I’m trying to sabotage her friendship with Lily? Uh! Like I said, this is confusing. No this is REALLLY CONFUSING! So I thought about it a little and I wrote…
Dear Alli,
Just wondering has anyone else been reading our letters besides us?
Jessica
I went to put it in the mailbox.
Next Day
Well, I got a really simple letter back from Alli. All it said was “no.”
A couple of days have past and I and Alli haven’t been writing to each other that much. I bet she was just as confused as I was.
Well, it’s been two months. We were on the way back to New York. Alli was getting back a day earlier than I was. When we finally got off the plane ride, got our luggage, and we got home, Alli was waiting for me in the driveway. I opened the car door and ran to her. At the same time we both said, “I have so much to tell you.” We laughed.
“Jessica I would like you to meet Lily.
“Hi Jessica. I have heard so much about you.”
I could see the little evil in her eyes.
“I have heard so much about you too,” I said in a not so nice voice.
“Wel,l anyway,” said Alli, “Let’s go celebrate with ice cream.”
We all walked down to the ice cram parlor.
“So, Jessica,” said Alli. “I never wrote you that letter. I mean I would NEVER write that about you.”
“Oh, I know you would never write that about me,” I said looking at Lily. Lily looked at me in a not so nice way and I looked back.
We got to the ice cream parlor.
“Um, hey, Alli and Lily, why don't you guys go get us some drinks next door.”
We left the ice cream parlor.
“Okay, Lily, you can dropt the act.”
“What act?”
“Oh, I know you are trying to get me and Alli not to be friends again.” Before she got to say something I said, “I also know you were the one who wrote that letter about me.”
“Okay, look, Alli, say goodbye to your best friend Alli. I’m taking her away.”
“Oh, you know I could just walk in to the ice cream store and tell Alli everything you just said,” I said.
“Oh, you wouldn’t want to do that.”
“Why wouldn't I?”
“Because I and Alli have spent two straight complete months with each other. And she thinks that if you go and tell her that, then she will think that you are trying to mess up our friendship.”
I tried to say something, but she interrupted me. She said, “You can’t out smart me.”
She gave me an evil smile. She was right, I couldn’t out smart her.
“No,” I said.
“No. . .what?”
“You are not taking my best friend away from me. I don’t care what you say. I’m going to tell Alli the truth about you.” I walked out of there.
“Alli, I need to talk to you.”
“What is it?”
“Your friend Lily is not so nice. And I have proof.”
What Lily didn’t know was I had a recorder on my phone and I recorded everything she said. Alli listened. Lily came into the store.
“Looks like I out smarted you.” I showed her that I taped everything.
She said. “I can’t believe you did this.”
“Well, nothing can break me and Jessica’s friendship. Let’s go Jessica.”
And we walked out of the ice cream parlor.

High Healed
Inspired by the songs of Miley Cyrus (and Hannah Montana).
Characters:
Alyssa
Maggie
Max
Mini
Alexa
Dad
Six Girls
(Walking to school.)
Alyssa (walking towards Maggie): Hey, Maggie.
Maggie: Hey Alyssa.
Alyssa: OMG! I just remembered that they’re having a major sale on high heels in a couple of days!
Maggie (under her breath): Oh, high heels? Of course. . . .
Alyssa: Did you say something?
Maggie (smiling and walking farther from her): No!
Alyssa: There’s something up with her today….
(In school hallway.)
Alyssa: I’m telling you there is something up with her. I tried talking to her in Biology but she wouldn’t talk to me. I asked her if she was mad at me, and she said no. It’s just like she’s not the same ever since I told her about the high heels shoe sale.
Max: Maybe she doesn’t like high heels?
Mini: Yeah, maybe Max is right?
Alyssa (taking a deep breath): Nooooo! No, no, stop saying that! Oh!
Alexa: You never know, Alyssa.
(Max, Mini, and Alexa walk off.)
Alyssa (putting her hands over her eyes not knowing what to do): No, that can’t be it. Maybe it is, I don’t know.
(Maggie enters. Alyssa still has her hands over her eyes.)
Maggie: Hi, Alyssa!
Alyssa: AH! You scared me!
Maggie: Oh, sorry.
Alyssa: Hey, you haven’t been the same ever since I told you about the shoe sale on high heels. And Max said that maybe you don’t like high heels anymore. I know that can’t be possible, right?
Maggie: Uh, of course not! BYE!
(Maggie runs off.)
Alyssa: Now there is DEFINITELY something wrong with her today!
(The scene changes to Alyssa’s house. Alyssa walks in to her dad and mom’s room and her dad is watching TV on the bed.)
Alyssa: Hey dad, Maggie was really different today.
Dad: Why?
Alyssa: Well, I’m not really sure but it started ever since I told her about the high heels sale that’s in an hour.
Dad: Maybe she doesn’t like high heels.
Alyssa: WHY DOES EVERYBODY KEEP SAYING THAT?! Max, Mini and Alexa said that and now my dad. Uuuugggghhhh!
Dad: Maybe they’re right.
(The doorbell rings.)
Alyssa: I’ll get it!
(Alyssa opens the door.)
Alyssa: Hey, Maggie, come in.
(They go and sit on the couch.)
Alyssa: I need to ask you a question.
Maggie: Sure, anything. What is it Alyssa? Wait, I think I know. Are you gonna’ ask why I have been so strange today. It’s because. . . .
Alyssa: What is it?
Maggie (NOT telling the truth): Jjuuusstt because. . . .I was in one of my moods.
Alyssa: Well, ok!
(Maggie hangs out a little at her house. After, Alyssa goes on a three way phone call with Max, Alexa, and Mini.)
Max: Soooo, what happened with you guys?
Alyssa: She said that she was in one of her “moods.”
Mini: Do you believe her?
Alyssa: I don’t know, should I?
Alexa: Well, it’s up to you.
Alyssa: What do you think guys?
Mini: Yup, I agree, it’s up to you.
Alyssa: Max? You got any advice?
Max: Nope, sorry. I agree with Alexa and Mini too.
Alyssa: Wait, I’m getting another call. It’s Maggie! What do I do?-
Mini: Just speak to her!
Alyssa: But what if. . . ?
Max, Mini, and Alexa at the same time: GO!
Alyssa: Fine, fine, bye!
Max, Mini, and Alexa at the same time: Bye!
Max: You think she’s gonna’ make it?
Alexa: Not at all.
Mini: Same.
(They all get off the phone. Alyssa and Maggie are on the phone)
Alyssa: Hey, Maggie.
Maggie: Hey, Alyssa. I was wondering if you were free on Friday. Maybe we can have one of our sleepovers!
Alyssa: Friday, Friday, uh, yeah I think I’m free.
Maggie: Your house, 6:00?
Alyssa: Awesome!
Maggie: K
Maggie: Bye!
Alyssa: Bye!
(Next day, two days before the sleepover, Alyssa passes Maggie in the hallway. Maggie is talking to Mini, Max and Alexa. Alyssa realizes she is wearing shoes instead of high heals. Alyssa wipes her eyes thinking she’s seeing wrong. When she takes her hand off of her eyes she sees she wasn’t mistaken. Alyssa just shrugs and walks off.)
(Day of the sleepover. Scene changes to Alyssa’s concert. Maggie and Alyssa are together, arms locked with each other. Max, Mini, Alexa and six girls are behind them.)
Maggie: Good luck.
(They hug each other.)
Max: Well, we better go take or seats.
(Scene changes to a stage. Alyssa’s friends are in the front seat. Alyssa is up on stage.

One of the six girls: I just love that song!!
Maggie: I know, right!?
(Mom enters Alyssa’s room.)
Mom: Girls, was that you making all that sound?
Alyssa: Oh, sorry, mom, we’ll try to keep it down.
(Mom exits.)
Maggie: I have a little surprise for you.
(Maggie pulls out a best friend necklace and the heart is broken so they both have one. Then they hug!)
Alyssa:
I’ve been in a rut
Back and forth enough
Heart like the wheel
Without you around
So uncomfortable is how it feels
Every time you’re near
Trouble disappears
Under the ground
But when you go too far
Silver clouds will start hanging around
And I know why
Try to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
Skippin' down a broken path
How long can I last?
Please let me know
Where’s the finish line
‘Cause I’ve got to find somewhere to go
I don’t want to hear
These people interfere
What do they know?
What I feel inside
When I’m up all night
Needing you oh…
I don’t know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
I'll keep on runnin’
Till we meet in the middle
I'll push it right aside
And I give just a little
There’s miles to go
But wait
Don’t hold back

(Maggie and Alyssa trip after the song is over because Maggie is wearing sneakers and Alyssa is wearing high heals. They both laugh.)
Alyssa: Wait one sec, Maggie are you wearing sneakers?
Maggie: Uhhhh…. OKAY yes, I’ve been dying to tell you that sneakers are SO much better.
(Everyone gasps. Alyssa starts to give reasons why they are so much better. Then Maggie starts to give reasons why sneakers are so much better.
Alyssa: I can’t believe you like sneakers?!
Maggie (pausing): I’m going to bed
(Everyone else does, too. Maggie wakes up. Everyone is still asleep.)
Maggie: It's six a.m. and I'm wide awake
'Cause I can't stop thinking
About the stuff you'll say
And me and I, I can't let it slide
The paper's not here yet the sun's not up
But I'm not afraid to tell you what I feel inside
I had one of those dreams that make it all so
Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Why did I smile when I hurt inside?
Said I was okay when I knew it's a lie
I wanted to believe in you
You took your chances and one was me
So I'll just forgive you and set you free
I'm on my way
Yeah I'm stepping out of the haze
And it's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
I wanna put the past behind
Try and maybe I can find better days
The first time in a while
Think I even feel a smile on my face
I got a whole new perspective
You can't treat me that way
It's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Yeah, so clear
So clear, so clear
Ooh
Sun's going down on a Saturday
And I feel all right, I feel okay
(Maggie leaves without anyone knowing. Everyone wakes up wondering where Maggie is.)
Mini (waking Alyssa up): Alyssa? Where is Maggie?
Alyssa: Please don’t even say her name and, besides, she is right here.
(Alyssa puts her hand on the other side of her and feels that she is not there.)
Alyssa: Big deal, she went home. I’m going back to sleep.
Mini: Alyssa!
Alyssa: What? It’s not my fault. Which side are you going to be on Mini?
(Mini stays quiet. The sleepover ends.The scene changes to the school hallway, and Alyssa is telling Max what happened.)
Alyssa: I can’t believe she likes sneakers more than high heels.
Max: Well, um, Alyssa. . . .
Alyssa: And I know I’m going to have you on my side. Because obviously when me and Maggie get in fights your always on my side.
Max: Well, I am actually on -
Alyssa: My side!
Max: Could you just let me finish?!
Alyssa: You don’t have to. I know you’re going to be on my side, right. . . ?
Max: Actually, no.
Alyssa: What do you mean, no?
Max: I’m on Maggie’s side. Bye, Alyssa
(Max walks off stage.)
Alyssa: Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us
But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
Alyssa: Goodbye Max.
(Alyssa goes off stage. Scene changes to Alyssa’s house.)
Mom: Is something wrong Alyssa?
Alyssa: Oh, nothing.
Mom: Are you sure?
Alyssa: Yeah, I’m sure.
(Scene changes to Maggie’s house. Maggie is on the phone with Mini.)
Mini: So don’t worry, I’m on your side. Also I heard that Max is on your side too.
Maggie: Max? I thought he and Alyssa had been friends since Kindergarten?
Mini: Yeah, they have.
Maggie: He really went on my side then Alyssa’s?
Mini: Yeah. But I heard that Alexa is on Alyssa’s side.
Maggie: Fine, Alexa can be that way.
Mini: Got to go, bye.
Maggie: Bye.
(They hang up on the phone.)
Maggie: Uh, why did this stupid fight have to happen?
(Maggie starts to sing “When it all falls apart.”)
Maggie: Too bad she’ll never forgive me. . . .
(Scene switches to Alyssa’s room.)
Alyssa: High Heals, Sneakers….a fight! What was I thinking?
Alyssa: I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking, every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
but I got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s The Climb
The struggles I’m facing, the chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing but these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about, it’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith
Alyssa: Too bad she’ll never forgive me after what I said. . . .
(The scene changes to the hallway. Alyssa and Maggie both come in. Maggie is walking one direction, Alyssa is walking the other and they pass each other. Everyone gasps. Alyssa comes in with Alexa and Maggie comes in with Max and Mini.)
Maggie: Uhh. . . .
Alyssa: Umm. . . .
Alexa and Mini (at same time to each other): Look what the wind blew in? Look what the cat dragged in?
Maggie and Alyssa (at the same time): It’s OK, I got this!
(Alyssa looks down at Maggie’s feet. She is wearing sneakers. Then Maggie looks down at Alyssa’s feet and sees she is wearing high heels.)
Alyssa: Soooo. . . .
Maggie: Awkward!
(They both laugh a little then look back at each other with a straight face.)
Alyssa: Hey, don’t laugh. I’m mad at you!
Maggie: Well, I’m mad at you!
(There’s a long pause. Then they start laughing.)
Maggie: Nothing can keep us apart.
Alyssa: Not even a pair of high heels and sneakers.
Maggie: Hug?
Alyssa: Hug!
(Everyone says Awww.)
Max: And I have to say something too. I wasn’t really on someone’s side.
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to Max): What?!
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to each other): What?!
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to Max): What?!
Max: I was trying to get you guys to realize how stupid this fight is.
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time): Ohhh. . . .
Alyssa: Now there’s nothing like topping it off with a song!
Alyssa: You wake up, it's raining and it's Monday
Looks like one of those rough days
Time's up, you're late again, so get out the door
Sometimes you feel like running
Find a whole new life and jump in
Maggie: Let go, get up and hit the dance floor
But when the lights go down it's the ending of the show
And you're feeling like you got nowhere to go
Don't you know
Everyone: You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home
You can change your style, yeah your can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home
Alyssa: Your best friends, your little hometown
Are waiting up wherever you go now
You know you can always turn around
Cause this world is big and it's crazy
Alexa: And this girl is thinking that maybe
This life is what some people dream about
Cause when I'm feeling down and I am all alone
I've always got a place where I can go
Cause I know
Everyone: You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello

When I was going to Florida I took one flight from Atlanta to Florida, then from Atlanta to Westchester. It was after our trip one year, and we were heading home.
When we were on the plane from Florida to Atlanta it was really not that nice of weather. It was raining or snowing, I did not know which one because I was in a plane and the window was shut. But I know that it was not good weather because the person in front of me was opening his window, and I could see that it was not sunny outside. I also knew because when we got off our flight there was a big sign that said all flights were canceled. It could not have been anything else. All the flights were canceled except one and that was a flight five seconds away and coming back soon. When that flight came in, it would say “canceled” in bright letters. Well, all the words that said “canceled” on the board were in bright letters, all in bright orange. It was bright so people could see them, they stood out.
So we went to the place where we were supposed to get our flight just in case it stopped snowing or raining or both and we could get on our flight.
One and a half hours later
One and a half hours later we decided that my brother and mom were going to wait there and tell us if they found out if our plane was going to leave soon. That left me and my dad to go see if we could find a dinner place around where my brother and mom were sitting. My mom and brother were going to go look around because my mom wanted to buy a magazine, and she wanted to bring my brother with her because he had been sitting down with her for a while when me and my dad were walking around. She also said that she would buy something for him if he came. That is unfair for me so my dad said he would get me something.
An hour later
It was six forty-five now and we were not going anywhere for a while. My dad and I went to go to the place that we had found for dinner before because it seemed like a very good place to have dinner. So we asked my mom and brother what they wanted. My brother said he would come and help us carry stuff back to where my mom was going to stay and watch our stuff so no one would take it. My mom wanted a sandwich that looked like it was good. My brother said we were going to decide what we wanted when we got there. My dad did not know what he wanted at all. At least my brother and I had an idea.
When we left I really did not want to walk around the whole airport again. It wasn’t at the other end of the airport but it was far enough. But it was great exercise. So we started walking, and when we got there a few minutes later I was out of breathe because my dad walks so fast. I had to catch up to him to stay with him. We got there, and my brother and I went to the drink machine but my dad said we had to pay for drinks before you got them. We hurried to the line so we could get our drink because we were so thirsty. My dad ordered the drinks first so we would stop complaining. When we got the cups we raced over to the drink machine. (It was only, like, two feet away.) Of course I won because I am amazing. No, it was because I was closer to the drink machine, and I got a head start because I got my cup first because I was standing first in line and he was standing behind my dad who was standing behind me. So, first I got the cup, then my dad, then my brother. When we got our food we went back to our seats and ate, like, twenty minutes after.
Then an hour later, a little after we were done eating, our plane was ready to leave. That was not a very good day, but we now know our way around the Atlanta airport!

Once upon a time there was this very poor boy who lived and slept in a shed. The only thing he had was a flat screen TV. Don’t ask me how he has a flat screen if he is poor. He also has video controllers and one lounge chair. He doesn’t live with anyone but he does live near a beach.
You are probably wondering what he eats. He eats whatever he can find. But the thing is that he has a dad that gives him food. You are also probably wondering why the dad doesn’t live with him. The reason is that the boy wanted to know what it was like to live by himself.
The time came that he started to be addicted to video games. Then the time came that he had to go to school, he was nine years old. His dad said he had to go because he had to be smart and he could not stare at a screen 247.
So tomorrow he was starting Heathcoat Middle School. Yes, he is starting middle school even though he is nine because middle school starts in fourth grade. It,s kind of weird, but that’s how their district works. He is going to walk to school everyday. He is kind of nervous because he doesn’t have any friends. He thought they were going to make fun of him.
His schedule was kind of fun, he had gym everyday. His day started at 8:00 and ended at 3:45. He had a very long day, and he needed to go to sleep now. He fell into a deep dark dream. . . .
(His dream)
Okay, today was the big day.
I was starting school today.
I got into school and all these kids run up to me. It’s like they’ve known me forever. Wait a sec, I don’t know these people and how do they know me? Whatever, people finally know me. I love this. In ten minutes I have Homeroom.
I get into Homeroom and Mrs. Stevens, (the teacher) says, “Hello Jake” (the boy’s name) and he says hi. I think to myself, how does she know my name and she is also my social studies teacher.
“So, today we are going to write what America is to us,” says my teacher. Next I have Gym. In Gym today I am swimming. Mr. Banks, the gym teacher, says, “Today we are swimming and each of you have to swim three laps to pass your deep water test.” I thought he was very loud.
In the middle of gym class Mr. Banks got a call from Jake's dad and he was saying that Jake had to go to LA, (California) pronto. They were leaving in one hour. He had to leave school. Jake quickly had to get dressed and run back home to pack.
When I got home there was a pile of suitcases and a note. I go open the note and it says:
Dear Jake,
These are the suitcases I need you to pack in. I will meet you at gate seven in 20 minutes.
Love,
Dad
So how does he expect me to pack and get to gate seven 20 minutes on time?
(Not his dream)
Diinngg diinngg DDDIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
I wake up. Wait a sec, I was in a dream and I have to go to school for real now. I was so angry. I had to get up, eat breakfast, get dressed, and go to school. My dad met me at my shed door to take me to school.
And school wasn’t that bad that day.

When my mom got a new car she decided she wanted a Honda Pilot. In the car there was a D.V.D player, the seats went down, and the best part was that my brother didn’t know. My brother didn’t know because it was the year before my first year at sleep-away camp, my brother was already at sleep-away camp, and we got it during the summer.
When visiting day came my brother was, like, "Why are you driving someone else’s car?" At the same time my parents said, "That is our car.” My brother got in and started pressing buttons. He wanted to watch a D.V.D. and my dad said, “no, sorry.” My brother was a little mad about that.
But he will get to see a movie when we go on a long car ride because my mom and dad don’t want to hear us on a long 3 to 4 hour trip or when we go to Florida. That is a 1 to 2 DAY car ride. UUUghhhh, I hate sitting in a car with my brother.
But we loved my mom’s car and still do!

Once upon a time, there lived this really pretty girl named Jessie, and she lived in a castle. Obviously she was very rich so of course she had a butler, a maid, a servant, and a nanny once a week that was very nice.
Her parents were in England for a meeting. They had to stay there for a couple of months and the nanny was watching her. She couldn’t go to England because she gets tutored three times a week plus her butler teaches her French. She also has a tutor for math, literature, and science.
Her tutors were very nice except for Mrs. Bloom. She was the science teacher. She could be mean if you didn’t pay attention, which I don’t do a lot! I don’t like her that’s why I don’t give 100% attention. (Sorry, Mrs. Bloom. I will try next time.) But Mr. A is fun and so is Mrs. Campervan. Jessie calls her Mrs. C. She is also very nice and fun.
If you haven’t noticed I haven’t told you what do in my free time? In my free time I do whatever I want. If you haven’t noticed, I live in a castle.
So my parents are getting back tomorrow. I guess I have to clean up the mansion.
How do I do this by myself??
I AM IN BIG TROUBLE=http://=http://=http://=http://
So I quickly call the maid and we get it all cleaned up. It took awhile, but we got it done.
Finally my parents got home and we go out to dinner!! They had fun in England!!

In the past years, I have had really good teachers.
In Kindergarten I had Mrs. Gross. In first grade I had Mrs. Beshar. In second grade I had Mrs. Weiss. In Third grade I had Mrs. Cereola. I also had her in fourth grade. n fifth grade I have Mr. Brune, and so far he is a great teacher. I also have Mrs. Schore, but she is for advanced math. There are also specials. I love all my teachers.

A week and a half ago was my first travel softball game. My team's name is the Wildcats. Our uniforms are orange and blue. We won our first game. We also won our second game because it was a double-header.
During the game I got one person out, and I made a run. I also hit a ball into the outfield. I also almost slid.

When you look at this house it is like you are walking on the sky.
If you just take a look at it your eyes are going everywhere. This house is constructed in the northern German Island of Usedom. People say it is like icing on a cake, everything is upside down.
This house was built and designed by two polish men. They said
that they wanted to build something really unique. The two
builders said it was expensive to build. And even though it is built for two people they never thought that anyone would buy it. More than 100 people have been in it, and a lot of them say it a little disorienting. The two of them have not told anyone what they want to do with it.
I think that I would never want to live in that house because how do you go to the bathroom?! I wonder if anyone will buy it? I wonder how much they are selling it for? Would you want to live in it?

Today after I brought K. to voice lessons, I had to go to my brother’s soccer game. It was so boring. He was the orange team, and he was playing against the blue team. Half an hour later my mom starts screaming, “Yeah, orange team!” It was really annoying. In soccer there is this thing called "Silent Sunday." So I scream, “Mom, it’s Silent Tuesday, zip the lip.”
They also had their coach as the ref because they didn’t have a ref. I met a girl named Lizzie, and I played with my family friend's dog. My mom talks with EVERYONE!
My brother's team also won!

When I went to the mall, I went with my grandma because my mom could not go and my dad does not like shopping, and I would not want him to go with me. Like, when we went to this store in Rye. We walked in and 5 minutes later we were out.
When we finally arrived we first went to Clairs. I bought two fat bracelets and a rainbow beaded bracelet. Then we went to Limited Too. I bought a shirt with a
smiley face dude on it. Then we went to Abercrombie, and I bought a navy blue
undershirt. Then we went to Hollister, and I bought a blue and white striped sweater, and a new backpack. Then we went to go get pretzels bites. Then we left. We had the most fun time ever. I said thanks, and she left.

I was at camp the first time I flipped in a kayak. I had done a hip flick, which is something when you are in a kayak and you turn all the way around in the kayak but you don’t put your head in the water. One ear in the water, and one ear out.) Then I said I wanted to do a real flip, without anyone’s help! I felt so good.
Then the horn went. That means that it is the end of the period. So I said that I would do it tomorrow, which was visiting day. So I left because I had to go to swimming.
It was the next day, and I was in the kayak, in the water, and my parents were there. I was about to flip. I tried, but I didn’t get it, so the counselor turned me around so I was out of the water. And I tried again.
And I. . .Got it!
I was so happy I could hardly believe it!
I kept doing it until the horn blew.

Kelly: Hey what’s up? Did you do your homework?
Eliza: No, did you?
Kelly: Yes, but it was very hard.
Eliza: I didn’t even try.
Five minutes later they were in the classroom and Ms. Lang was trying to collect our homework but we have a bad class so it was not working.
Ms. Lang: Kelly, can I have your homework. (Yeah, sure.) Eliza, can I have your homework.?
Eliza: Um, well, I didn’t do it.
Ms. Lang: What do you mean you didn’t do it?
Eliza: I didn’t do it.
Ms. Lang: You have to go to the principal’s office.
Eliza: What!?
20 minutes later. (It was 20 minutes later because Eliza took awhile in the hallway.) Eliza was in the principal’s office.
Mr. B (the principal): What did you do Eliza? You are never in my office.
Eliza: I didn’t do my homework. (Uh oh, I muttered to myself.)
50 minutes later Eliza was back in the classroom and they were doing social studies.
Jon (the one who likes Kelly.): Hey, what are you doing tonight?
Kelly: Nothing, but I am not going out with you.
Jon: Why?
Kelly: Because I don’t want to go out with you.
Jon: Well fine, I’ll ask Eliza.
Kelly: She will say no, I know her. We are practically sisters.
Jon: Bye
Jon asked Eliza the next day.
Eliza surprisingly said yes, and they were going out at 5:00 on Saturday. When Kelly found out she knew that she had to spy on them.
The date on Saturday
Jon: You look very nice tonight. (He said very shyly.)
Eliza: Thanks, I guess.
Anthony (The waiter): May I please take your order?
Jon: Can I please have the chicken.
Anthony: That comes with a side dish. The side dishes are on page four.
Jon: I would like the mashed potatoes.
Anthony: And for you lovely lady?
Eliza: May I please have the Mac-n-Cheese.
Anthony: Yes you can. I’ll be right back with that.
Kelly (mumbling to herself): They are so weird.
15 minutes later
Anthony: Here you go.
He placed their food on the table.
Eliza: Thanks.
Jon: Um, do you like social studies?
Eliza: No! I got sent to the principal’s office today because I didn’t do my social studies homework.
Jon: I’ve experienced that before.
Eliza: You mean you’ve been in the principal’s office?
Jon: Yup.
The next day at school
Eliza: My date with Jon was awesome, I loved it.
Kelly: Yeah, I bet it was.
10 minutes later
Ms. Lang: Does everyone have their homework?
Eliza: I do!
Kelly: You do?
Eliza: Yeah, Jon helped me with it.
Ms. Lang: Can I please have it.
Eliza: Here you go.
After social studies was over Jon was waiting for me in the hall way and asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend.
Of course I said yes, and we went on a date the next week!

When Amanda found out that she had to go to public school she freaked out. Amanda said she would give up her dog and her phone. This was big for her because her dog and her phone were her life. In a million years she would never want to give up her phone and dog. Her dad said that she couldn’t give up her dog or phone, she would just have to go to public school. Her dad said she just had to go, no ands, ifs, or buts. And that was the end of it. So tomorrow she would have to go to pubic school.
She had to go out and buy school supplies, but she had never been to school before so she just got makeup, clothes, and new purses. When she got home her servant said that was not expectable, and she had to go back but with her nanny.
This time she got books to read. That was not expectable either because she needed notebooks, pencils, paper, folders, pens, and appropriate clothes and shoes. When she finally got to public school, she was three hours late, she had to get to gym class, and she had to go get changed into her gym cloths.
When she went into the gym everyone stared at her. She felt so embarrassed, but she just walked down the steps anyway to the floor.
Amanda started playing what she thought was soccer, but it was not soccer. It was not soccer. She was looking like she was having a spaz, so the gym teacher went over to her and asked if she was ok.
"Of course," she said because she thought she was doing the right thing.
At the end of the day she was not happy. She went home, and she missed her violin lesson. Her dad was not happy that she skipped her violin lesson, so he got his servants to pull her to her lesson.
When her lesson was over, no one picked her up. Her limo was suppossed to pick her up, so she had to walk home. It started to rain when she was walking home so she got really wet.
When she finally got home, she was surprised that she had found her way home. She went straight to her dad’s home office, and he said he had to talk to her. She asked if he was mad at her, but he didn’t say anything. He just started to stare at her. She didn’t know what to do, so she just went over to him and hugged him. Once she started talking, he said that her mom was going to take away her phone and dog if she did not go to public school.
Of course she still went to public school. She hated it, but she HAD to go if she wanted to keep her phone and dog. They kept laughing at her in gym, but she did not care. She only had one friend, and that was her dog Butters.

There once was this girl who lived at a sleep away camp. She lived there all through the winter, all during the spring, and all during the fall. But when it came time to start the camp, she didn’t go to the camp. She just stayed in her room. She did not get out of her room at all. There was a bathroom in her room. She stocked up on food right at the end of spring, and put it all in her mini refrigerator. She had a big room so she could fit all of it. It was like a hotel room with a kitchen.
You are probably wondering why she lives there if she doesn’t even go to the camp. Well, no one really knows, so I can’t tell you. But she doesn’t know anyone. Her parents died when she was first born, so she decided to walk around the world, and she stopped here in this sleep away camp. And no one has found her. Her grandparents don’t know about her because she was so sad that her parents died that she just walked away from it all. So what does she do when everyone is at sleep away camp? All she did was write letters to herself because she didn’t know who to send them to. At the end of the summer she would have
piles of letters all addressed to herself. She is kind of weird, but she doesn’t care because no one knows her. The camp directors don’t even know that
she is there because that is no one’s room, so they don’t know. No one’s knows.
She only has two pairs of clothes, and she only wears one of them because her other one is a bathing suit for when she goes down to the lake during the spring and fall. She had a raft, and a boat, so she would go on her boat, and when she got far enough, she would jump off to her raft. When she goes too far away, she would swim back, get on her boat, and go back to the campus. She loved it out there. She thought it was so relaxing, and it gave her something to do. She also went out and played soccer, volleyball, and softball. She could swim 50 laps back and fourth without stopping. She said that she wanted to be in the Olympics when she was older. She also said that she was going to do every sport, except basketball.
She had this one toy that she played with. It went everywhere with her. It even went on her boat with her. Its name was Jessie, and it was her best friend in the entire world. She seriously went everywhere with her. She LOVED it. It was her life. She even had a little bed for it. She got it when it was born, so her cloths were all ripped up, and she was really dirty.
You are probably wondering how she pays for food. She went to her parent's safe before she walked away. They were, like, millionaires. She now had millions of dollars. She was rich. She only uses at least 70 to 100 dollars every time she tries to find the grocery store because she wants some when she is older also.
At the grocery store she would get milk, cereal, chips, pretzels (snack food), chicken, pasta, etc. Yes, she can cook, and, yes, there was silverware in the camp because it was a camp. Tthe camp directors have to feed all the campers. For the big holiday she would make big meals, and have leftover for other meals. Sometimes if she was not that hungry she would not have lunch. She would always have dinner and breakfast. She is going to be very responsible when she is older. She also said she is going to go out to the store, and buy books so she can be a graduate at a college, and get married, and have kids. But right know she is just a girl in a sleep away camp.
Today she said that she was going to the lake, and she was going to sun tan. She was bringing Jessie. This is what her boat looks like:
It is a nice boat, right, but it is kind of small so sometimes she just takes the raft out and floats on it for awhile. She likes going on her boat better though. Sometimes she even just goes on her boat and just lays there until she thinks that she is suntanned enough and heads back. She usually stays on her raft for about thirty minutes, and she stays on her boat for about three hours. She stays on her boat longer because if she was on her raft for that long, she would probably drown. She also has a little room under the boat that has a bathroom, and a kitchen with food, and a living room, and stuff that would have to do with house materials. But the stuff is a little smaller than in a real house. She still likes it a lot. That is why she likes being on her boat better than her raft. Her raft is not the kind of raft you think it is. It is the kind of raft where there is a circle, and there is a whole in the middle. But on the outside there was a foamy part, where you can put drinks, snacks, toys, etc. She still goes on her boat during the winter because it has the underneath part. Sometimes she just sits in her boat, but her boat is still on the dock. She just likes sitting there and staring out to the other side of the lake.
She loves looking at the view. She sometimes goes on hikes so she could just look out at the view. Sometimes she even brings drawing paper so she can draw what she sees. Sometimes she has millions of drawings at the end, and she hangs them up in her room. Right now if you probably walk into her room, you probably can not see her room. Her favorite thing to do is draw, so she draws a lot, and she gets better at drawing. After she is in the Olympics, she wants to be a famous artist. But she does not like painting. She only likes drawing with color pencils and crayons. In her lifetime she has never ever used markers. Sometimes if she is drawing something really hard she sometimes uses a plain pencil with an eraser, but usually she just uses a color pencil. She thinks using a regular pencil is not very fun because then everything is black and white.
She likes to be happy and exciting. She thinks that her children (when she gets children) should always be happy and excited for everything. She also said that she wants two boys and two girls. She wants to have a really smart husband. She wants to have a husband that is really smart, and one that went to a good college, and went to good grade school, and she hopes that her kids will also be smart.
It was finally the summer time, and the other day she had gone to the store for the last time, got all the food she needed to, and all the new toys that she wanted to. She got home, put everything in the fridge, and looked at everything one last time because everyone was coming this afternoon. Then she went to her room, and she locked the door so many times she couldn’t even move her doorknob. She closed the shades, locked her sliding door, and then laid on her bed till she heard the buses coming. When she heard them, she got up, and stared out the window. She only opened the window a little bit so no one could see her. She watched them get their cabin assignments, watched them hug each other, watched them do everything until someone knocked on the door. She didn’t know what to do so she didn’t move. She closed the shade, but she didn’t dare ask who it was.
Ten minutes later, the person knocked again, and she decided to get into bed. Then she could hear them walking away a few minutes later. She got out of bed and went to take a bath. She sat in the bath for awhile, and she sat there and started to wonder who it was, and how they had found her. She fell into a dream in the bath tub.
Dream:
Knock, knock at the door.
She went to go open it.
There was this weird guy at the door.
He asked if he could come in.
Of course she said yes, sure. She was delighted.
She had never had a visitor. But when the visitor came in he. . . .
Then she woke up. She didn’t want to know what he was going to do to her. She was so scared and so shriveled up. She got out, put on her cozy pajamas, and got out unbaked pasta, and started to make it for dinner. After dinner she was going to go watch T.V., and watch the campers go eat dinner outside. She always got worried that someone would find her. That’s why she didn’t really like the summer. She liked the fall because of the changing leaves. She also liked it because she could go on her raft and boat.
10 years later:
Ten years later she was out of college. She had met one boy who she really liked. She thinks that he is going to ask her to marry him. She knew that because they have been dating for three years, and they had a date tomorrow.
Tomorrow:
They were on the beach together. She was standing up. He knelt down, and he asked her if she wanted to marry him. Of course she said yes, and they were getting married on Sunday the 9, 2010. They were so excited. It was everything that they wanted. They had everything in common. She left the camp to go find and buy a house. They found an apartment in NYC, and they had the whole floor to themselves. They thought it was gorgeous and wonderful.
A year later:
They had their first baby girl, and her name was Bella. They LOVED her. She had her own room because the apartment was so big. Her room was pink and had flowers on the walls. It was like a dream room.
3 years later:
They had triplets, two boys and a girl. They were as happy as they could be.
They got everything they wanted!

Seven years later:
Bella is now ten years old. Cody the other kid, he is eight years old. The twins are now six and a half, and they love to go to school Bella is really smart. Jon, her husband, is working as a lawyer, works 5 days a week, and comes home on the weekends. I am a stay-at-home mom, and I watch the kids when they come home from school. I take them to all their activities, but on the weekend Jon takes them to their activities and we watch the games together. We go on vacation every other 3 months and for the school vacations.
Sometimes we go to beaches, Florida, California, etc. We love going on vacation. I get all the packing done when they are at school. They love their life so much. Bella said that she wants to go to a great college, like me, and be a teacher and a mom when she is older.
She just found a job working as a secretary for a lawyer. She loves her job. She works three days a week, five hours everyday. She has time to get home and change before she has to get her children.
She just found a job working as a secretary for a lawyer. She loves her life. She has met a lot of new people, and they love her there. She works three days a week, five hours everyday, and the rest of the days of the week, her husband works. But on the days that she works, her husband doesn’t work.
Now that her husband stays home a lot, he has learned so many things that he didn’t know before. He loves them better than he did before. He took pictures of his kids and his wife and he put them in frames and took them to work and put them on his desk. He wishes that he could take off work one day to be with his family and do a family activity. For their birthday parties he wants to be a part of everything, and plan everything.
10 years later:
Bella loves college, and she is almost out of it. The twins and Cody are now in high school, and they can all drive. You’re probably thinking that they all have their own cars, but they don’t; the four kids all share two cars. The twins and Cody don’t really drive that much, only when they have to. Bella uses the cars a lot. She uses them a lot because she is older than them, and she goes to more parties. Cody likes to ride his bike, and Jessica and Zach like to walk to places. They like to get a lot of exercise.
In the family they now have four cars, and they are all different cars. But the parents don’t care if they use their cars or the cars that their parents bought for them. Since Bella uses one of the cars so much, it is really like her car because she doesn’t let any of her brothers or sisters to use it.
One year later:
My mom and dad asked us to sit down on the couch, and told us something. They said that we were moving, and that we had to get packed up, and that we were leaving on Monday. Bella started packing right away, then Jessica went up to pack, but Cody and Zach stayed on the couch and they told their parents that they had just met really pretty girls. They wanted to stay right where they were. They were moving because Bella was back from vacation, and they needed to pack herself, but they are moving on because their dad found an awesome job to still work at. What he is doing is for a longer time period, so mom is going to be again a stay home parent. So she could spend more time with her kids because her husband has been spending a lot of time with the kids. She felt that she didn’t know them any more. So on vacations they are still going to go to vacations, but it will be different because they don’t know how to get places from where they are.
They did find a gorgeous beach like ten minutes away, and they are going to try to go there on Christmas vacation. They also just had three visitors at the door, and they gave us cookies, and we liked them a lot, and one of them is Bella’s age, and the other one is eighteen, and the third one was the mom. They seemed very nice, and Bella is out to dinner with the one that is her age, her name is Julia. Julia goes to the same school as Bella, but they did not know that they went to each other’s school. They didn’t know because it was their first year there.
It was three weeks into the school year, and they both didn’t know that many people there. Sometimes it is easier to not have that many friends, because then you can focus more on your schoolwork more than your friends. But Bella and Julia had finally met someone that was just like them. They could still have friends, but not the kind of friend that would care what they wore or how they acted.
You have to remember that she is still in college, and the twins are still seventeen. They just turned seventeen, and they use the car more. But Bella took her car to college. So the twins and Cody have to use their car and their parent’s cars, when their parents aren’t using it. Jessica still doesn’t use cars that much, so it lucks out for her brothers. She walks a lot, and sometimes she gets rides from friends. She is one of those people that likes to save the environment, and if she is driving a car, the exhaust blows out of the car. Anyway, they have boring cars, and her friends have amazing cars. Her friend’s cars are so much cooler. She does not like being seen with her parents, neither does Zach. Of course, they both don’t; they are twins.
Cody doesn’t mind, but he’d rather he wasn’t with anyone except his girl friend. They hang out twenty-four seven. That is why he likes to use the car a lot because he goes on dates with his girlfriend. His mom and dad don’t know that he has a girlfriend, but he told his brother and sister. He told them to promise that they wouldn’t tell mom and dad. If they did, they wouldn’t be seeing mom and dad again. (That means that Cody would kill them. Yes, it is violent.)
Cody just went away for vacation with all his friends because it is Christmas vacation, and that is what they do. He is sharing a room with his best friend, and next door is his girlfriend and her best friend. Her best friend is Cody’s best friend’s girlfriend. They are going to go to the beach and dinner with each other. They are the final four, that’s what they call themselves. They have this one night that they are going to a dinner with the whole school and they have to bring someone, so they are going with each other. They already called to reserve a table for the final four. They are the most popular kids in the school. You are probably wondering who pays for all of this. Well, the whole school doesn’t go, only the seniors and the school pays for them. Only the seniors go because they are the oldest, so they get the privilege of going without the rest of the school. It the special thing that seniors get to do. The rest of the school goes when they are seniors.
For vacation Bella is going with Julia to the beach in Long Boat Key and the twins are going their own ways. Jessica is going to a museum with her new boyfriend, and Zach is staying at home with their parents. He is broke, that is why he is staying with his parents because he gets everything free. He said that he doesn’t want to work, and that he wants to stay at home because he is getting very lazy. You probably know that when you get older, you get a little more boring. Julia just broke her arm so she can’t do that many things.
Seven years later:
Bella is going to get married in a week, and Cody just asked his girlfriend to marry him. Zach is just hopeless, he doesn’t do anything except lay on the couch in his parent’s living room. They said that if he doesn’t find something to do, or if he doesn’t find a wife, he has to move out. He doesn’t care, because he knows some people to go to like his grandparent’s, his friend’s apartment, or he can just find a job because his parents said if he finds a job he can still stay at the house. He just won’t be there all the time. He likes that idea. He is trying to look for a job as a person that works with computers. He loves his computer, and he wants to help people enjoy their computer even more than they do.
Well, Bella is going on a vacation with her husband and her new baby girl. Her name is Jess because she loves her sister. Her name is Jessica, and she loves her best friend Julia. She didn’t want to name her kid after them, so they came up with the name Jess. She is now three months old. Bella is not working, but her husband is. In five months Bella is going back to work, and her husband is going to stay home with their baby girl Jess. They love being parents, but they don’t get as much sleep as they want to. They hope that when she Jess gets older she will not stay up half the night. She is not bad when she has to take naps. She is only bad when she has to go to sleep at night. It is dreadful. She stays up half the night not crying but making noises. It is so annoying to Bella and her husband because Jess shares a room with them. She has her own little bed in there with them. It is not really a bed but a cradle, but it is big enough to be a bed. She also has a room that she sleeps in when she takes naps, but she sleeps in her parent’s room when it is nighttime because she sometimes sleeps in the bed with them. And it is easier just walking a few feet than walking all the way down the hall.
Cody is getting married in one week, and they are all so crazy. They cannot wait for the big day. Cody’s fiancé, Sarah, already got her dress, but Cody has not seen it yet. He is seeing it for the first time when she walks down the isle. He is so nervous and happy at the same time he cannot wait. Neither can she. On the other hand, the parents of the two of them are freaking out because they are just so stressed about the whole thing. All parents are stressed before their child gets married.
Zach finally got his job, and he is working at the Apple store in the mall. He also has a girlfriend named Ashley, and she is gorgeous. She really is. They are newly dating so there is no marriage yet, but Jessica is starting to really like the boy that she is with. They are going out to lunch in the city, and she thinks that he is going to ask her to marry him. She cannot wait for the big day.
Bella is back at work, and she misses Jess so much, but she loves to be back at work again. Everyone missed her and was so glad that she was back. They had a little party for her when she had walked through the doors. Instead of screaming “surprise,” they screamed “welcome back.”
Cody is getting married today, he is really excited, but he is really nervous.
One year later:
Bella is now pregnant. She thinks she is going to have a boy. But she and her husband don’t want to find out until the big day. Cody’s wife on the other hand is having a baby. They are so excited!!!! They are both really excited. They are both wondering if they are going to have a baby on the same day. They don't want to because then they have to have two rooms that the parents have to go into, not one. But if they do have a baby on the same day, then they could celebrate together.
On the other hand, Zach is very happy, and he is starting to work longer hours, and more days, and he gets more money doing what he does. He bought himself an apartment, and it is in the City also. He has started to get out more than he used to. He only goes over to his parent’s house when it is a holiday. He can do his own laundry, and he has his own car. He has one of the cars that he used to have. He just got it painted again. He also now has enough money to pay for himself and to get his own food. He likes not having to worry if his parents are going to buy food for the next day or not. But his apartment is not like the whole floor, it is half of the entire floor. It is not that big so he can still raise a family. He just doesn’t have to pay for the whole floor. It is cheaper than having the whole floor. It is also bigger than having that little room in his parent’s house. Here he can be alone, and he doesn’t have to worry about anything. He has to look very nice for work. He has to wear a tie and suit. But on Wednesdays, because it is the middle of the week, he always has to wear the shirt that he got handed out at the beginning when he started working. Every week he gets an e-mail telling him what color shirt he would wear. It is usually a rainbow. He has two of every color in the rainbow plus other important colors that the manager feels that his workers have to wear. One of the colors he doesn’t wear is black because the manager likes his costumers to see who is working there. On the front of the shirt it says Apple, and on the back it says STORE, APPLE STORE. It says it in all capitalized words. If you don’t wear the shirt on Wednesday, you have to wear it the whole next week. That makes you look funny because everyone else is wearing a tie and suit. So far he has never forgotten to wear that shirt on Wednesdays, but he knows people that have forgotten to wear it. Barley any people forget because they don’t want to look like freaks the next week.
He his going to go visit his parents this weekend. Jessica is also going to go see her parents and she is taking her fiancé with her. She is so excited to see her parents. She hasn’t seen them in so long. Her fiancé is also so happy to see them because her parents really like him. His dad died, and he thinks of him as another father. It is really nice for Jessica to see that her parents get along with her fiancé. Zach is also bringing Ashley. Her parents are also coming. No one knows this but he is going to ask her to marry him. He is hoping that she says yes because if she didn’t. That would be very embarrassing because her parents are going to be there. His parents and Jessica is going with her fiancé. That is why she would be very embarrassed.
Bella just had her second baby a few days ago, and Cody’s wife had her first baby yesterday. They are so stressed out right now, but they are probably the happiest people in the world. Bella wanted had a baby boy, and she is taking him to her parent’s house. So is Cody and his wife. They are both going because they want to let everyone see their new children. The whole family is going to be there. That is the only time that the whole family is going to be together. They are all going to stay at the house or at the hotel down the street because the house is gigantic, but it is not big enough for everyone. Their parent’s house is really big, but they don’t have enough guest rooms. They are not going to just sleep in the hallway. Their parents live in Scarsdale, which is why they have such a big house. The people that live in Scarsdale usually have really big houses. The hotel is not literally down the street, but it is a couple streets down. The people staying in an apartment are Zach and his girlfriend, the parents of Zach’s girlfriend, the parents of Cody’s wife, the parents of Jessica’s fiancé, and, last but not least, the parents of Bella’s husband’s parents are also staying at the hotel. The rest of the kids are staying at the house, sleeping in their old rooms.
The next morning they are all going to have brunch together, and they are renting out the whole luxurious Tavern Place, which is a place in the City. It is the nicest place. They rented out the whole place. If they didn’t, they would have to go to a different place because they would be very squished. They are having about twenty-five to forty people. They are very happy to be having all these people because all these people are family. It is nice to see family. It is even more special because the whole family is there. Not just one of her sons and his parents, it is all their sons and daughters and their family.
Later that month everyone was back at their own houses. They were back with just their little family living their lives. But something happened. The thing that happened was. . . .
Jessica got married. She got pregnant right away. She knew she wanted a girl, but her husband wanted a boy. The next day they went out to the doctor’s on Long Island. They went because they needed to find out if they were having a boy or girl. The whole time they were in the car they were so nervous and wondering if they were going to have a boy or girl. They were ecstatic, but they had to sit in the car the whole time until eleven o’clock because that was when they were having their appointment. At the time it was only nine thirty because if they wanted to be there at the right time they had to leave early. They were about to pee in their pants they were so ecstatic. They just couldn’t wait.
Then they got a phone call from Cody and his wife, they were sounding so nervous. They said that there baby had just gotten sick. They were so nervous, they sounded like they were crying. They would be crying because it is their first baby, and they probably know nothing about being parents because their child is five weeks old. I would not be freaking out, but I would not be happy if my first kid was sick within the first five weeks of being alive.
Then Bella beeped in. She said her new child was coughing a lot, and that he was sneezing. It sounded like they had been around the people at the party last week because they got other people’s germs. That was weird they had both gotten sick, but Bella was calmer than Cody and his wife. Bella was not worried because she has had a baby before, and she was very relaxed.
Jessica was due in a week. She and her husband were so excited. They were ecstatic. They could hardly wait for the big day. They were practically counting down the days. But you know what is really weird? Her husband was more nervous than her, and she is the one having the baby. They are having a girl, and they couldn’t be happier. They have already set up the room. All they needed was a high chair. But they were going today and they were going to pick out the best one because they were going to have the best things for the best baby in the world.
Jessica finally had a baby. It is a girl, and her name is Jay. She does not cry at all. She is the best baby. She doesn’t cry when she goes to sleep or when she takes a nap. Jessica and her husband are not tired at all when they wake up in the morning. They are not tired during the day. The baby does not make any noises either.
Guess what, you will never believe this but their parents are going on a cruise for three hundred days around the world. They have started packing because they are leaving on the second of December. During the time they are away, Bella and her family are moving into her parent’s house because they are the family with the most amount of people. They can hardly wait because, as I said before, the house is really big so they get the whole house to themselves. You are probably wondering what they are doing with their house during the time. They are renting it out to their family friends who are looking for a house. When they find a house they move to their new house, and Bella’s house is going to be empty when their family friends find a house.
Okay, so their parents are leaving tomorrow, and Bella and her family are moving today. It is only a ten minute move and they are taking all their cloths and toys because their house had beds and furniture and stuff. They don’t need to move all their stuff, just a little bit of it.
They are moving today because they want to be able to say goodbye to their parents because their parents are still getting the last bit of stuff together and they can’t leave it. They are also leaving at four fifteen in the morning. They are leaving that early because their boat leaves at six o’clock, and the boat leaves at the Regatta. The Regatta is the boat place down the street. They got tickets because the captain is their really good friend, and they used to have him over for dinner. Then he became the captain. He was on the boat the whole time. Everyday he is there, every hour he is there, he is, like, never on land.
Finally Bella and her husband have the house to themselves because Bella’s parents left four hours ago. They are happy because they are all alone in this gigantic house. Bella’s parents said that they could watch TV, they could eat their food, they said they could do anything they wanted. They even said that they could sleep in their bed. Now, you have to realize that their bed is two queen size beds put together. They are not fat people, but they have a big room. They said, what the heck, we will buy this. We have enough money, so they did.
Bella and her husband love the way they feel right now, in their own bed every morning. They wake up and groan they do not feel well when they sleep in their own room. They love her parent’s room. They love their everything.
Five months later they came home from their cruise. It was their April break, and they were all going to the Atlantis together. Even though the kids are very tiny, it is not like they are going to go on every ride. They are going to go on some rides. They are going to have fun!

Memories of when I found out that we had ten minutes left of our plane ride to the nicest hotel in Florida
When I found out that we were going to Florida for Christmas vacation, and they said that it was a five star hotel and that it was one of the nicest hotels in Florida, I really freaked out. I was jumping up and down and screaming. We also got a deal because one of my family friend's dad works for something I don’t know but he got us to have a lot of money off our room. He paid for half, and we paid for the other half. It was a very nice treat.
After about fifteen minutes we were in our rental car, and it was an hour away. It was five o’clock so we had to hurry up if we wanted to make dinner at six thirty. The family friends got there the day before so they were waiting there when we arrived and helped us find our room. Then they went to go reserve our table downstairs.
So the next day since it was so late we were going to the beach club that the Ritz Carlton has. It was about ten minutes away. It is so nice. They also had people that work there bring us down our lunch. You can order it and they bring it down to your seats. Also you can order a drink, and they can bring it down to you. Everyday I used to get a strawberry smoothie. Then the next year almost everyday I got a chocolate milk shake.
There is this other family going also. They have two little girls. One is five and the other one is almost one year old. Then they have a boy as the oldest child, and he is eight. They have really cute kids. They are going because we told them how good it was there, and because we would like to spend our vacation with them. They heard about it from us. They do not get a discount because I don't think they know the people that we got a discount from. They have to pay the full amount. We got lucky. And as I said before, we don't have to pay the full amount.
This year I am so happy. I can not wait even a little second, not even the tiniest second in the world. We were going to drive this year, but then we decided not to. We drove down I think when I was in first grade and it was so much fun. Even typing about it I can remember it. I got to wear pajamas and I was all comfortable. It was a nice drive down. At night we went to a restaurant and then we stayed at a nice motel. Then in the morning we went to the breakfast place downstairs. Then we got back on the road. We stopped because we had been driving since four thirty that morning, and my dad could not drive that long. We went to have dinner around six thirty and drove and found the motel. Then we finally went to bed around maybe nine fifteenish. It was a late night for us. My parents went to bed around eleven, but they weren't that loud except for the T.V. that my dad was watching while my mom read a book. It was a good night. But the T.V. was a little loud, and I didn't want to tell my dad to quiet down because he thought that I was asleep, but I was not. I finally fell asleep around ten thirty. But that was late for me because as I said before I was only in first grade. My
