Get me out of here. I know something is about to happen, I feel it in my gut. It's a setup for failure, really. A party at an estranged house on the edge of the city full of nothing but intoxicated and incapacitated teens. Something is bound to go down. I started to think of ways to get out without just bluntly saying it. “Yo Trey, check it out!”, I turn and see my boy Ice, my teammate and best friend since third grade. “You see all these honeys up in here? You know they love football players haha, better rep the huskies tonight!” I grin, he was right after all. I was the starting quarterback back for the Wake Forest Huskies varsity team, so I couldn't just leave the party. Me and my boys, we the life of the party. “Aye, but I'ma catch you later bro, ya know Jaida waiting for my upstairs, ya feel me?”, I roll my eyes. “Jaila. Her name’s Jaila.” Ice always has a different female at every party we go to, and he goes to all he can. “I don't care if her name was Humpty-Dumpty ghee, all I know is she look good tonight.” As Ice jogged upstairs, I saw …show more content…
“I don't know, somebo-”, she started to say, but she was interrupted by a gunshot from upstairs. The music keeps blaring, and time froze. Everybody was paralyzed by fear- that is, until the first person dashed out of the front door. I grab Genesis and bolted to the front room, only to see a throng of teens stampeding her front door. We jump out of the front window and hop in the back of my pickup truck across the street. “Stay down.”, I say, not realizing how obvious and idiotic i sounded. I knew it. I should have left. But I didn't, so now I’m stuck hiding in the back of my pickup truck because Ice had my spare key. Where is Ice? Actually… I haven't seen him or Jaila since he went upstairs. I wait another ten minutes, which felt like hours when there was a shooter literally within 50 yards of me. There was only one gunshot, that is if it was a
He knew it was going to be a no excuses to lose to weather and it was going to be a good day for fans to watch football tonight. He had met with Kyle Cannon who was the quarterback for the team and a running back on the team named Dion Gordon;
Terrified, she turns to face the killer. Just as she does, a shot rings out through the night air. Morning dawns on this gruesome scene and police are called in to assess what happened. Now as they comb through the scene, people start to gather around and whisper about what they think happened. Since this happened in
Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.
“It won’t shut!” I whimpered as I used all of my force to try and shut the window in the living room “Nevermind got it!” I sighed rubbing my sore arm from pushing on the window so hard. “Okay, what now?” I

When it comes to what separates me from other teenagers, there would be quite a bit to tell. I would say a major difference which separates me from my peers is my love for barbershop harmony music. I do not have a quartet of my own; however, I love to sing barbershop tags with other friends at church. I set myself apart from the world because of my beliefs: as a New Testament christian, I believe the bible gives us all instruction concerning spiritual matters.
It was the last day of school and I was so excited for summer. I was going to do all kinds of stuff and go out of the state. In reality I was going for one of my worst summer ever. All I was going to do is travel most of the time. It was going to be the most boring summer ever.
Who knew that things could change so abruptly, it almost felt that my whole world was flipped within a blink of an eye. Things were going to be different from now on, the people, the weather, even the fresh summer breeze from the coast will soon become a cold bitter winter breeze. This all came to my mind when my mom announced to my family that we’re moving, to New Jersey, once my school goes on summer break. At first, I began to panic, why do we have to move? Why can’t we just live here? We don’t even know anyone there, except for my aunt. We just moved here three years ago from New Jersey, and we didn’t like it, that’s why we only lived there for a month. Then why would we would we like it now? I question my mom, and I demanded explanations
The summer of 2015 was the summer I moved for the first time in my life. Moving was a mix of emotions because after thirteen years I became attached to my bedroom and the looks of my house. The certain smells I would get when I walked through the door. Then, leaving that house that I have lived in and that bedroom I slept in for all those years was hard. It was a nice house and all, and I loved my room, but only a couple days later, I was already comfortable in my new home.
Freedom: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or resistance, that is what we don’t have right now. Our lives have been hard,we are often tempted to give up and not press forward, but we are not quitters, all of us together are going to fight until we have moved on.My poor family will be Britain’s slaves if our American troops do not try. All of our colonies sleep together snuggled in a little cabin like hut , it is not the perfect little dreamhouse, all snuggled up together in a warm, comfortable bed, no, we did it the harder way.
I caused Greg to break his hand without any remorse at the time. Greg was a high school acquaintance who tended to bully me. He was significantly taller, stronger and more athletic; therefore physically bullying me wasn’t much effort for him. When I heard he was coming to work at the warehouse, I wasn’t particularly happy about it. The warehouse contained boxes from multiple suppliers. Some were really thick and some were really thin. They all contained books, though some were heavy text books while others were light weight paper backs. All workers with experience knew which boxes were heavy, which had thick soft cardboard as a box, and which were encased in thin cardboard. I waited until Greg stopped by with his working partner for
Yelling at the top of our lungs, I couldn’t believe what was about to happen. Next thing you know, we had hit a big pole right in front of the mall. The windshield was shattered into pieces and my head had hit the front seat, almost as if I was about to fly straight out. My head was pounding that’s when I realized I had hit my head pretty bad. Blood was dripping down from my eyebrow and it felt like I was about to pass because my vision was getting hazy.
At a young age, I moved from the country I was born in (Dominican Republic) to Miami Florida. Moving is not an easy thing to do, I had to leave all of my friends and family behind and become familiarized with uncertain place. I was surrounded by the unknown, everything was strange and so different to what I was usually use to. At the time I could not speak any English at all but that eventually did not matter to me, I slowly started adapting to my new environment and I became more positive. Although I could not communicate well and had a few obstacles I was very organized with my studies and kept very decent grades.
My family used to be like it was portrayed in movies; father, mother,daughter, son, with a few pets living in a nice house in a small town and friendly neighbors. My life flipped upside down when I was seven years old because my parents were getting divorced and I had to start a new life in Kansas with a man I didn’t know and my mom. I was hurt that I had to start my life all over and start a new school, leave friends behind, and I wanted to live with my dad too just like my brother was. I wanted to stay Nebraska and not leave my friends behind, not leave my home, and not leave everything behind. As I had to organize on what I wanted to keep and leave with my dad, tears ran down my face, realizing my life wasn’t going to be the
At a very young age, I began making my own decisions and putting myself first. After my parents got divorced, my mom decided to move. The move wasn't small. In fact, it was a very large one. We were moving halfway across the world. I did not understand why we had to move but I knew my mom would always make the best decisions for our family. First, it seemed cool when I was telling everybody. But then it hit me hard, knowing that I wasn't going to see my friends and family for a very long time. At the age of eight, I did not understand what was going on. I felt like I was out of the loop. I was going to have to make new friends and meet new people even though I did not know the language. Even when it came to finding something to eat, we did not know how to order food. It was a great struggle that was hard to overcome.
