June.12/2014 Creative Writing #2- The Reputation of a Pencil
Blk: C

It was a day that changed my life forever. I could recall the events that happened on that dreadful and tensed day. It was the final horrific exam that I would encounter in my high school career. It was the final exam for the English twelve provincial, which was worth an astonishing 40% of my final grade. Prior to the final exam, my day started off with the sun smiling at me as its rays shot through the dusty blinds of my bedroom window, shining brightly upon my eyes. On the other hand, the alarm clock was crying to wake me out of my bed. I immediately jumped out of my soft, silky bed and went to the bathroom, trying to get fresh as quickly as possible, so I wouldn’t be late for my exam. My mother was down in the kitchen, preparing me a healthy breakfast, so I wouldn’t be tired in the exam. It was 8:30 am, fifteen minutes before the exam started. I quickly like a cheetah got into the car with only my bag and whatever was needed for the exam. My mother dropped me off at school, wishing me best of luck and saying to do your best.

I walked breathlessly towards my designated area as where the exam was taking place; in the cafeteria of my school. I waited impatiently for the exam to start, as I was ready to take on any challenge that was being thrown at me in the exam. Finally when it felt like hours and hours, the time had arrived to go for the gold. I walked down the gloomy and silent hallway, only to hear the stomping of shoes and imagine what was ahead of me. Once I got into the room, I placed my bag onto the side as instructed by the teachers monitoring and took out my crafty eraser, and took out the instrument that would project my thoughts onto the paper for me, the only led pencil. I went to my assigned seat and waited eagerly to start my exam and get out of the exam on time, as I am a very careful and detail-oriented person when it came to

    Fighting temptation describes a battle that is as much spiritual as it is emotional or physical. To be tempted is not a sin. Everyone is tempted and at different levels. Even Jesus was tempted! Temptation happens when the opportunity is presented to do what we know is wrong, whether against God, ourselves, or others. Being tempted is not wrong - it's the decision to do wrong and the corresponding action that follows.…

    It had been a crazy morning as I ran all over my house trying to find my jacket and boots. My mom had been admitted into the hospital that morning for a massive headache and all I could think about was whether or not she would be okay. I took her to the emergency room that day before so going to class was the last thing on my mind. My father and sister had agreed to stay with her till I ended class so I was more at ease knowing she wouldn’t be alone. After running all over my house looking for my things I quickly gathered myself to make my train. I finally got to Penn Station with four minutes to spare. I quickly walked to where the rest of my class was as we waited for instructions to where we would…

    Today I was filled to the top with euphoria because mother promised me she would take m to London for my birthday. I woke up abnormally early and washed my face with cold water and put on my favourite polka-dotted dress. I fixed my bed sheets and sprayed a small amount of perfume onto my clothes. I glanced at my pocket watch and found that it was already five o’clock; it would take two hours to get there. I raced down the stairs and shoved a few spoons of rice into my mouth and sprinted back upstairs to awake my sleeping mother.…

    I went through my first three classes hurriedly, mind wandering to how I’m going to complete my essay on time and still get a good grade. Period one I was thinking of a time that I delivered bad news. Second period I put all of my jumbled thoughts into a nice, clean, and orderly fashion. Then in third period I focused entirely on big words; the fancier the words the smarter you sound and the better the description. It is finally my free period, at the moment my nirvana. I raced to the school library as fast as I could, ignoring my best friend’s “hello” in the hallway; he would understand. I finish my run that felt like a mile, but was really about a hundred feet, only to be yelled at by the school librarian. “Don’t run in the halls, you need to put your bag on the counter, no cellphones in the library, I ignored all of this; I was on a mission, and no librarian was going to get in my way on this day. I practically jumped on a computer, its monitor was dirty, the tower was loud, but right now it was my only hope.…

    My head was buzzing with excitement, nervousness and sadness all at the same time. I knew walking in the school coming back from recess that this was one of the last times I would walk into that school all the emotions and the bitter sweetness was so confusing at the moment. Walking sheepishly back to my desk, I tried my hardest to concentrate on the math test that I so dreaded to take. My mind swirling I started working on the test, also while in the back of my head I was thinking what our new house going to would like? What color is my bike going to be? Where will I go to school? Will I have friends? It was too much to take in all at once. Hurrying through the test so I could just be done, not even caring what my score was going to be. I had bigger questions standing in front of me than the test…

    The test was today! Why did I waste an entire day playing that dumb game? I thought, feeling upset. Forgetting you had a test the next day was awful, but realizing you never studied, and it's all of your fault, made me feel paralyzed. Spending an entire day glued to my phone? This wasn't like me! I felt guilty and nervous throughout my whole body because I knew today wasn’t going to end well. With dark circles under my eyes from staying up all night on my phone, I tried not to feel exhaustion that was consuming me, hoping for the best as I left for school during that bright early morning. On the bus, I tried to cram as many facts as I could in my brain, but nothing was familiar; I knew nothing. The only thing I knew on the test was how to write my name, and the grade I was going to receive on it: a failing one. When I got to school after a terrible bus ride, any trace of false hope disappeared from my mind, and as I walked into my class, I had already felt defeated. After taking my test, I didn’t want to think about it a second more than I had to, I just wanted to relax by playing Candy Crush on my…

    I opened my dry aching eyes and immediately felt the pounding in my head. With regret on my breath I stumble into my petite bathroom. I go about my normal morning routine, but in a more sluggish way, and put aside the fact that it is three in the afternoon. All I wished to do was crawl back in bed, but I was being forced to attend this youth group at the church down the street. Hating every bit of my life at the moment, I throw on the dress that I secretly shoved in my bag last Thursday at Tj Max. Though the dress was only worth $29.99 and was on the clearance rack for 40%, I still felt some kind of rush getting away with such a thing. Most 15 year old girls didn’t usually wake up with a dreadful hangover and wear clothing neither their parents nor themselves paid for. Then again most 15 year olds don’t date 19 year old guys with scraggily beards. I did though; that was normal for me. This new group of so called “friends” I had. A group far too old for me and introducing me to nearly everything: alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana… the list continues. Though my parents knew of this new group of friends I had in my social circle, I had seemingly convinced them both I was too old for them to talk to parents. Convincing mom and dad there was absolutely nothing to do at my own house that would interest anyone, not even myself. So more and more I began not to show my face, whether it was because I was highly intoxicated, or because I was convinced I was old enough to no longer depend on my parents.…

I had to admit that I felt like I was so dumb but considering the fact that I didn’t prepare for the test at all, I guess it was just a normal feeling. It was good to know that I wasn’t the…
