  1. My brothers will literally be the slow agonizing death of me. Im only 13- im not ready for that! Going into freshman year is even scarier. I have no mature friends and Rowley will never act older than a five year old. Not even kidding you. Maybe with some motivation i can make it; but im not promising anything.

    2. You and rodrock need to be good students! my parents would punish me for such bad behavior. Your parents might not let you hang out with him and you wouldnt have any friends, like me.

  4. You know when someone is just everything you want them to be from the start? That was Adam. Instill remeber our first date. He claimed he got tickets from family to YO YO MA which is my favorite cellist. After we walked around and then we stopped. "Why me?" I aksed. And he just simply replied,"because I like the way you play, you go to another place." That was the night I realized I was in love with Adam. "Why do I have the feeling you're about to mess up my whole life?" I said.

  5. Another day in the hospital. I cant believe that the second surgery DIDNT work!!! The doctors dont know what to do anymore. When we first came to the hospital from our roadtrip, they thought my appendix ruptured, but they were wrong. I overheard my parents and the doctors talking and they think itsba good idea to send me to a childrens research hospital. But I dont want to go because im just getting used to the hospital.

    1. Thats insane! Are you scared for your life, god kniws I am. Being chased by a Ghost? I would rather be in a hospital. Not saying your situation is a good one, just saying mine sucks. But...whats something good to say..? Ah! Stay strong!

    1. I was also seperated from my family as a youth. No one survived except me and the man who carried me to safety, who is now my step father. Good luck to surviving, I know how hard it can be.

  7. Am I going crazy? Ever sense I got here to the amazing Paris; France, I have been seeing...things. Ghosts, I think. No one else see's her. So I suppose its just inside my head..? I can't tell Hannah or Pilar. They will think i'm mental for sure. No way I can I tell anyone. Maybe when I go home, this thing will stop following me..? I just hope it doesn't kill me before that. She reminds me so much of a woman from centuries ago. But not old, like a...queen. Actually, she looks a lot like Marie Antoinette. Do you think, i'm being haunted by the former queen of France?

  8. We finish one war to get into another. The reds and hanza get into there own fight over what our government should be when surviving is hard enough. They finally give up because the losses on each side were too great and the dark ones start attacking different stations. They are fearless, powerful, and have no remorse. No one even knows where they came from either.

  9. Well when i was getting to school i was late and i totally forgot we had a field trip today. When i was going to the bus the bus started taking off. I told my friend that had her head out the window to stop the bus. When i was screaming that for about five minutes i saw that she had something in her hand. Finally when the bus stopped and i got on the bus everyone was looking at me. I asked my friend what she had out the window and she said her phone. She also said she recorded me and put it on the internet. Within minutes everyone on the bus saw it and i was mad at my friend and really embarrassed.

  10. My major conflict was the holocaust. It is a external conflict. I am battling Hitler so my sister and I don't end up in a concentration camp for ever.

  11. Am afraid one day I will not wake up, to know I woke up. The fact of my parents not being parents anymore. Am struggling with my emotions either to get away from my loved ones, and not feel like a grenade or to use my time left with those that mean the most to me. -Hazel grace, The fault in our stars

  12. I hate myself, why did i let her go to NY alone. I should have gone with her, even if she told me to stay. Maybe then we wouldn't be sitting here in a small diner making pathetic small talk, still waiting for your apology, still waiting for to just be a dream. I miss her, but it doesn't matter now. I wish i wouldnt have went to that performance, just left the past in the past. You know ? How does one person effect you so much ? I hate this.

    1. Sometimes the right thing to do is just tell the truth. Luck for you, your people know whats right from wrong. My people don't even know what is wrong and thinking everything is ok.

  14. Everyone thinks this community is doing everything right, but what is the right thing to these people. I am faced with emotional distress with the community not knowing the truth. Like these people don't know how bad a release is. I need to find a way to expose the truth and all the memory from the past.

  15. I am not sure about what Aaron was thinking but about an hour later he asked, "so when are the next bathroom facilities coming up?"
    I said, "what?"
    "You know latrines, port-a-potty? Something like that."
    "Uh, Aaron, we just go in the woods, we rarely have any facilities. Even most of the shelters we live in don't have bathrooms and ones that do aren't so nice," i said.
    "But theres showers aren't there?" Aaron asked. He had a puzzled look on his face.
    "No Aaron" there are no showers. We have gone as many as eight days with no shower."
    "No shower?" I am not sure i am going to like this, aileen."

  18. I hate my counsellor Carla, she cheated me, you told me that you will be my best friend forever. But you left me, you left the school. I did my Math homework for you, I did the book report for you, i even changed the whole person. I was a monster, because of you, i became a good student. but you won't come back anymore. you made my heart feel hurt. you changed me so much and i really hated this!
