Walking through the abandoned high school hallways was even scarier at night‚ especially with the news that had gone all around about two teens who were found dead in our school parking lot three weeks ago. To this day the killer is still on the run‚ nowhere to be found. Quickly I head towards my car and at the same time feel a cold shiver go up my spine‚ I try to ignore it. I realize itś a Friday the day when most teens head out to the cabin hidden deep within the woods to have some fun. My friend

I was a straight A student in high school‚ I was an academic all stater‚ I had the highest ACT score in my high school. Being smart had been my “thing”. Now‚ in college‚ my grades were subpar.

It was a pouring and cold afterschool afternoon at Westlake Elementary. I stood under the awning of the school as I waited for my mother to pick me up while holding tightly onto the clammy cardboard plate that displayed the gingerbread house I had made that day covered in a layer of plastic wrap.

The time of the year had come. 5th grade had started! It was a new‚ fresh school year‚ which meant something very momentous (at least for me) was coming up soon - the student council elections. You see‚ I was one of the most courteous‚ bright kids in the fifth grade at the time‚ and decided to take a chance in the elections. I thought back to the time I was in fourth grade‚ making a fool of myself by creating a boring speech with maybe a little bit too much vocabulary. I at least tried my best‚ and

During my sophomore year in high school‚ I decided to join the UIL Cross-Examination debate team. I honestly did not want to do it‚ but my friend was in desperate need of a partner‚ so I decided to help her out. I had no experience in public speaking‚ let alone debate. At our first competition‚ I was extremely nervous. We only practiced the day before‚ but my friend reassured me that it’s going to be okay‚ and I should just “dip my feet in the water” to get a feel for debate. So as I walk over to

We told only a few of our closest friends that we knew would never tell on us. The teachers and staff were confused about what was happening and they even held a grade assembly to discuss the matter. This didn’t stop us and we were getting really good at it. Now we were putting markers and pencils down the sink too. One morning we were all in the bathroom putting

Snoring‚ and fast asleep you are abruptly woken up by your annoying and loud alarm. You wipe your crusty yellow eyes‚ and you are finally awake but you don’t want to leave the warm silky sheets. Finally the loud repetitive sound annoys you to no end and you flip the sheets off and open your cold phone. The bright screen makes your eyes squint back into your head. Blindly‚ you grab random clothes in your drawer and hope they match. The warmth from your bed is leaving your body so you throw your clothes

hastily rushed to investigate the noise. My mom was calling me‚ so I answered‚ “Hello?” She explained to me that she had to leave for work‚ and Auston and I were home alone. She also asked if we were on our way to the school bus stop. I checked my phone. It read 8:50‚ and the school bus departs at 9:00. “Yes we are on our way”‚ I responded and hung up.

It was a Monday morning and we‚ the students of Memphis Business Academy‚ were returning back to school from our diligent weekends. The majority of the kids were attempting to get to class or find their friends to converse with them in the hallways before the bell rang‚ but I had one thing on my mind. I wanted to find the chart with the names of those who made the majorette team. I examined every wall to see where they were‚ while trying to contain my increasing anxiety. When I finally found them
