“Ok, alright Mama I’m up”.
“Make sure you have your breakfast it’s the most important meal of the day”.
“Ok”
“She always has to repeat stuff” he said under his breath.
In a sluggish manner he went the bathroom, quickly washed his face ,brushed his teeth, brushed his brown hair and put his school uniform on. He swiftly made his way to the kitchen where his cereal was waiting for him. He stuffed his face like he hadn’t eaten for days, some of the cereal getting stuck to his moustache. Bastian was an adolescent boy with a big appetite, rough skin and a lot of facial hair.
“Ok, are you finished Tian”
“Yes Mama”
“Let’s go to the car now”
He quickly grabbed his bag and walked to the rear of the car and put his bag in the back seat. He then got into the front seat and they drove off. When they got to school his mother kissed him and said goodbye. Then it hit him, the sense of nervousness hit him his heartbeats like drums in a band. He cautiously approached the school gates, it’s like he didn’t want to walk in but finally he did.
“Hello do you know where year nine is?
“Go to the last classroom and turn right”.
“Ok, thank you”.
He walked through the corridor the walls of the school seeming like cliffs because of their length. He finally made it to the classroom. He walked in hearing the children whispering. He quickly sat down in his attempt to stop the children looking at him. The teacher walked to the front, the whispering all coming to a halt. The children stood up to greet her all but Bastian but he eventually got up.
“Good Morning Mrs. James”.
“Good Morning Year Nine and welcome to a new educational year!”
She quickly marked the roll, supposedly knowing everyone. She stopped.

    "The bell rang and we went to our next class, each of us knowing our classmate was in the locker, but none daring to open it up to let him out. I don't know if he yelled for help, if he banged on the metal locker to get our attention, or if he remained mute like that woman in the movie 'The Pit and the Pendulum.' Her locker was riddled with sharp spikes ready to pierce her when she could stand no longer. So he had it way better."…

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking.

He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them.

    Overview: Basketball is a team sport consisting of two teams of five players each trying to score by advancing the ball up the court by dribbling or passing and then shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The game starts at the middle of the court and is called the tip off. The referee tosses the ball in the air in between two players (one from each team), and the players try to tip it to one of their teammates who are circled around them. The team that wins the tip off will get the ball to start the 3rd quarter, and the opposing team will get the ball to start the 2nd and 4th quarters. The game is split into quarters, each quarter lasting 8 minutes. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line. If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line (half court), it has ten seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defense gets the ball. Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back of the line. If it does, the defense is awarded the ball. Each shot made is worth two points, unless the shooter is behind the three point line, then they are awarded three points. When a player is fouled in the act of shooting, he will go to the free throw line to shoot free throws. If the player made the shot and gets fouled, the shot counts and he is awarded one free throw attempt. If he misses the shot while fouled, he gets two free throw attempts unless he was shooting outside the three point line, then he is awarded three attempts. Each free throw made counts as one point for the offensive team. After a foul or a made shot, the opposing team gains possession of the ball and has five seconds to pass it in from out of bounds. After a jump ball the team with the possession arrow will…

    The light that filled the house had a buttery, homely glow. Little boys too young to have known loss ran about the house with plastic toys. I wandered around, dodging relatives I did not feel like greeting. The beginning was the worst part for me, it seemed to be five million different people that seeking me out to discuss solely my high school admission process gets tiring after about the seventh time saying, “It’s stressful, but I’ll get through it.” I made my way towards the TV room, seeking solace in my cousin's roars.…
