All-Time Favorites

My favorite book of all time would have to be The Hunger Games. When writing this book, the author did a terrific job of keeping an interesting, fast-paced mood all through the book. My favorite movie would have to be That Thing You Do. This is a 90's movie based on a small town garage band going big after acquiring a new drummer. My favorite song is anything on Adele's album 21.

Why not...?

Dear Coach Ashmore,

           I'm sure you're a busy man, so I'm going to make this quick. You probably know that the Hunger Games come out on Friday the 23rd. So, here's the thing, with all of these End Of Course tests and test preparation us, freshman, get tired. All we're asking is for a simple day off to enjoy a very good movie. Everyone that has read the book has enjoyed it, so why not take us to see the movie. No matter what your decision, just remember, we're here for three more years...

Dear Jordan...

Dear Jordan,

We never talk. I never really knew you. But even then it's sad to see you go. Have fun wherever you are headed. Hopefully you'll always remember the little town of Wellington.

P.S.- Thanks for the 100.

Sick As A Cat

When I'm sick it's usually not a huge deal. I like to be left alone so I can sleep. All I need is a lemon-lime Gatorade, a few good movies, and enough Ramen Noodles to last me a lifetime. I usually sleep a lot when I'm sick so I don't really need a whole lot. Being sick might be horrible, but at least you get a day off from school.

J.V. For Life

The whistle blew, and we were zoned in. It was the fourth quarter of our district match-up versus the Claude Mustangs. The score was 61 to 13 us. We ran down to the line. Jonathan and I were ready for our time to shine. Will snapped the ball and I took off down the line to the right. The kick out was perfect. Jonathan sealed up inside and Walker took off down the field 60 yards for a touchdown. We may have just added injury to insult, but in my eyes it was awesome. My first varsity game ended with a bang.

Cat Burglar

The sun was on the horizon and the band of brothers were out. Billy Bandit, a fierce western bred cat, and his two apprentices Rac and Coon, twin raccoons, were hustling toward their next heist. Billy knew of the crucial state his was in. After he collected the money from the bank he would have to finally admit to the twins that he was not a raccoon. This was dangerous though, Rac and Coon were two dangerous little pests. In less than five seconds they would have Billy on the floor will a claw at his next. Billy would have to be sly and quick. The crew entered the bank according to plan. The twins would sneak in through the air conditioning vents and let Billy in through the back door. But when Billy walked into the darkness he was held at gun-point. "We know what you're up to Billy," said Rac in a revolting voice. "All this time we've been using you," Coon added on. Billy tried to explain as he backpedaled to the door. Then the lights came on and he was surrounded by a mob of angry raccoons. "You thought you could trick us didn't you?" Rac said while he ran his claws up and down Billy's back. The gig was up. Billy pounced through the glass door and ran for miles. Billy finally realized what he had done wrong. Through all of the plotting, he had forgotten his mask at the safe house.

Applejack and Little White Horse : The Mark of a Hero

Spring had finally arrived in the rolling meadows of Southern California. Applejack had just finished his evening meal when he heard the neigh of a small horse. Quickly, Applejack stood up and began galloping around the side of the barn. Smoke filled the air as the slight glow of flames engulfed the neighboring barn. The faint image of Little White Horse, a new-born colt, burning in the flames made Applejack shudder. The neighs for help were becoming softer and softer as the flames grew higher. Finally, Applejack sprang forward like a majestic stallion. When he entered the blazing building Applejack glance around and saw the colt curled up in the corner. Applejack kicked dirt on him as a sign to let him know to follow. Both horses hightailed it to the door of the barn. Showing extreme speed, Little White Horse quickly put a large distance in between he and Applejack. As Applejack followed the colt out of the exit a large part of the barn door fell on him. Applejack neighed for help as he was pinned to the burning sand. Little White Horse returned and helped move the fallen pieces off of Applejack, and they both sprinted towards the meadow. The next day as a sign of honor Applejack was branded with the mark of the hero. The burning sensation on his hind parts is what inspires him to scratch his hand parts on the fence post on this very day.
