Seven hours had passed and you could still hear the beeps and buzzes of the ‘Star Track: Revenge of the fallen’ video game, coming from Jordan’s bedroom. “Take that Zornock!” he yelled as he blasted himself to the next level. “Jimmy…Jimmy!...Jimmy!!!” shouted his mother from the kitchen where the video game echoed. “Yes mommy?!” answered Jimmy with frustration. “Come fi yuh dinner and turn that blasted game off!!! Yuh paying light bill in yah?! ” “One sec mommy am almost through, I’ll take dinner when I’m ready ok?” “ Yuh mek sure… yuh hear mi?

It was three in the morning and the little dribbles washed his desk, “Honey…Honey!...Jimmy!!!” Shocked out of his sleep he reacted with ‘manly’ shriek “Aaaaahhhhhhh!” Coming to his brothers rescue with his trusty baseball bat, Jimmy swung at the monster that may have caused the scream but instead of defeating the supposed foe he damaged the bedside lamp! “Wah yuh a scream like gyal suh fah man? Yuh kno yuh scare di Jesus outta mi?!” “Sorry man I thought I was gonna be eaten by that ugly creature from Star Track again,” Jimmy said.

    32 “Well its actually happening ma’, I’m goin’ back to school.”Rufus said. “I want you to know, I truly am proud of you Rufus.” His mother replied. 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. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. 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. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    You really don’t know who we are?” Jason shrugged helplessly. “It’s worse than that. I don’t know who I am.” The bus dropped them in front of a big red stucco complex like a museum, just sitting in the middle of nowhere. Maybe that’s what it was: the National Museum of Nowhere, Jason thought. A cold wind blew across the desert. Jason hadn’t paid much attention to what he was wearing, but it wasn’t nearly warm enough: jeans and sneakers, a purple T-shirt, and a thin black windbreaker. “So, a crash course for the amnesiac,” Leo said, in a helpful tone that made Jason think this was not going to be helpful. “We go to the ‘Wilderness School’”—Leo made air quotes with his fingers. “Which means we’re ‘bad kids.’ Your family, or the court, or whoever, decided you were too much trouble, so they shipped you off to this lovely prison—sorry, ‘boarding school’—in Armpit, Nevada, where you learn valuable nature skills like running ten miles a day through the cacti and weaving daisies into hats! And for a special treat we go on ‘educational’ field trips with Coach Hedge, who keeps order with a baseball bat. Is it all coming back to you now?” “No.” Jason glanced apprehensively at the other kids: maybe twenty guys, half that many girls. None of them looked like hardened criminals, but he wondered what they’d all done to get sentenced to a school for delinquents, and he wondered why he belonged with them. Leo rolled his eyes. “You’re really gonna play this out,…

    There he was, sitting in the middle of the front yard five yards from a smoldering heap of sofa. How was Harold going to explain this one to his grandmother when she got home? Since he had moved in with her the year before, Harold had tried not to be any trouble. She was generous to let him stay, since he couldn’t afford a place of his own. He tried to keep to his room, quietly playing video games with his headset on, so as not to make too much noise. He did his own laundry, washed his own dishes, and tried to stay out of the way as much as possible. Now the house was wrecked. Who knows how much glassware was broken, not to mention the smoke damage.…

    As he had yanked on the back of my collar and hauled me away from his clique, I could hear them snickering about me. I whined like a wounded dog as he finally stopped clutching my collar, and when the pain had subsided to a dull throb, I tried to negotiate and pleaded to him that I would even do all the chores, except Suzanah’s, for a month. But, the knob head wouldn’t bargain with me. Angus just sat and hung his head in his hands, as I started listing all the reasons why he should get me some tickets. That was until I was filled with the dread and realisation, as it rose inside me like the crashing waves of a tsunami, that all the tickets were sold out. As I fell against the wall, my hair fell in my eyes, but I was too shock-stricken to flick it away.…

    “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…

    Judy just wanted some sugar for her coffee. She flitted back and forth between cabinets and drawers, leaving them open as she went along busily searching for that sugar. “Where could it have possibly gone?” she half mumbled to herself, “I just used it the other day.” As she reached behind the box of cornstarch, the honey container tipped over and started oozing onto the counter that was already cluttered with piles of unopened mail, a plate with a half eaten, moldy sandwich, and a variety of orange and white medicine bottles. Distracted by the sound of the door bell ringing, Judy went to answer the door. Her daughter flew in, irritation in her voice, “Mom. Aren’t you ready yet? I’ve been calling you.”…

    It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” my father hollered up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds upset.” As I came downstairs to pick up the phone, I was not happy. I was tired and had looked forward to a nice and quiet evening at home, not another stupid adventure with Jackie.…

    I can relate with your communication assessment. I don’t communicate the same with everyone. This is due to the level of respect, education, familiarity or authority that person holds. I’ve learned throughout the years that not every conversation needs a reply. Also, some are intimidated by your education and feel belittled during a conversation. I tend to make small talk and keep it simple.…

    “Hello, Mr. Wallace? Is anybody home? Is everything okay?” I peak inside and the entire house is filthy. There are flies seeping through the pores of the walls. Their buzzing and the white nose from a tv in the distance were the only sounds I could hear flowing through the house. “Hello?! It’s Dr. Wargo. I’m your son’s speech therapist. May I come in?” I said…

    The familiar optimistic chirping of the telephone broke through the lazy stupor of another casual Thursday afternoon. As soon as I heard the first ring, I automatically knew that the caller was Cosi. Cosette With No Middle Name Young, was her full name, a name so unique that there was a slim to none chance of ever meeting another person who was called that as well. Just like her name, Cosi’s calls were special, because I knew that every time she called, she was inviting me to hang out at her house, which was a very special treat indeed. Racing over to the phone, hurdling past barriers of piled toys, I yanked the cordless off the hook.…

    It was a dreary fall day, the leaves on the ground were soaking into the mildew-covered streets and the must in the air was a sure sign that winter was going to be warm. It had been like that all week, when boredom sinks in it causes the brain to shut down. Anna and I had been watching her favorites soaps; oh yeah let's talk boredom. That was back when she used to call me friend. She was completely immersed in the love affair or whatever this weeks flavor of the month was; I managed to do what I do best, slack off. You would think a five page paper, due tomorrow, would give reason to double time; but it was way more interesting to futz with her new computer. I blame the people who created Mario, damn them it's so addicting. Shortly after Anna discovered my lack of attention to the task at hand followed by a lecture, I started to plug away at the paper.…

    As a nine-year-old girl she wanted nothing, but to see her family get along, well that and for the Red Sox to win, but that’s hard when you try to drag a teenager against his will to hike the Maine-New Hampshire Appalachian trail. From the moment they stepped foot on the trail the quarreling began, “You don’t understand…you have no clue. I don’t know how things were when you were in junior high, but they’re a lot different now” (King 18). While Pete pulled the whole “no one gets me,” angst filled speech Trisha had tried to gain his or her attention. She called multiple times to alert them that she needed to use the bathroom, but to no avail they were to caught up in their own words.…
