    Charlotte Johnston been sitting at a black top table surrounded by a group of chatty students her own age. And hadn't been paying much attention to what the teacher was saying, because everything zoned out, besides appearances and movements. Mr. Hube was wearing a bright purple sweater with tan khakis, and was extra fidgety. Something got him all hot and bothered, and it was obvious.

    “Ugh!”, he grunts from how large the suitcase is. “Will you be able to carry that, Scottie?” she says, her face, worn from time, twists with concern for her son. “Of course”, he laughs. “Okay, if you’re sure.” She says as she opens the metal gate to the front yard. They slowly walk through the cracked pathway until they reach the steps to the porch. Beatrice opens the sturdy door with her keys. “Honey, I’m home!” Scottie yells into the empty living room. “Must you do that every time you come inside the house?” She says fondly. “Of course, I must.” He says as if she should already have known the answer. While they were talking, Alice and Jake, Scottie’s younger siblings, heard his announcement and excitedly ran out of their room and down the beige stairs. “Stop making all that racket!” she admonishes her children. “SCOTTIE!” they yell out enthusiastically. “You’re home!” Alice states, full of wonder that her big older brother is finally back where he belongs. “Well, it’s obvious that I’m home unless I’m an imposer who’s secretly an alien”, He jokes, winking at Alice. “I definitely didn’t miss your humor,” Jake lightheartedly says. “Oh, come on, I tell the best jokes”, Scottie says smiling. “Yeah right, in your dreams”, Jake jokingly teases. “Leave your brother alone for right now. He had a long trip and he’s probably exhausted.” Beatrice gently tells to her…

    When I had got to the shop I was about 10 minutes late, I had trouble finding parking and the coffee shop. After I got some tea I made my way to the meeting room past the restroom hallway, where a woman greeted me at the door with a form that she said we’ll all be filling out for fun. I said thanks and then found my seat. The room couldn’t fit I’d say no more than 60 people, with chairs on a rack and a whiteboard and projector screen in the front of the room. After grabbing my chair and taking a seat, I saw that the form ask us things like where did you grow up, where have you visited, and where have you lived? It didn’t take long to fill that thing out. As I see people one by one filling the room, people chatter as they fill out the sheets, it was fairly noisy. Once people had stopped coming in the lady at the door joined us in the room to enthusiastically introduce the speaker Catherine Watson. The lady at the door was Sarah, one of the founders of the Meetup.com group and a friend of Catherine’s she explained. Sarah stated some of Catherine’s accomplishments like being a pioneer for travel writing in American newspapers, being the first travel editor at the Minneapolis Star Tribune, how she teaches travel writing in colleges throughout the U.S, and how she’s been around the world three times!…

    The day was warm, and the scent of freshly cut grass entered my nose as I pulled my car into a parking spot in the small apartment complex. I was surrounded by 3 story white buildings. My purpose was to speak with Autumn Crevosier, a local raver, performer, hooper, and the girl I had chosen to interview for my profile sketch. I was certain it would be an enlightening experience into the more personal life of someone within the rave subculture. I exited my silver Toyota Avalon, quickly making my way up the narrow sidewalk to the first floor apartment. I gently knocked on a green door on the first floor that had a large, gold, number 4 on it. It slowly opened to reveal just the person I was here to meet. Autumn stood at about 5’5”, only a few…

Can I start you off with a drink?” over and over, she thinks of many things.
