If I Were in Charge of the World
If I were In charge of the world, I’d cancel vegetables, sickness, and medicine.
If I were in charge of the world, there would be candies, ice creams, and more
shopping stores.
If I were in charge of the world, a person who is afraid of hikes and roller
coasters and can’t do the splits would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.
My Worst Day
One morning I went outside to play as I do every morning. My brother and sister
wanted me to play kickball with them. I agreed, although I didn’t know how to play
kickball very well.
When I tried to kick the ball, I kept missing it I tried more than ten times. I was
very annoyed, but I knew that I should keep on trying.
Then I tried very hard and when I believed in myself I finally kicked it. It
wasn’t that high, but I did kick the ball.
I was kind of proud of myself. It wasn’t such a bad day afte all.

The secret shortcut
In the break of dawn before school, Wendell and Floyd mapped out a new shortcut to
get to school on time. Wendell was at Floyd’s doorstep and Floyd was still in
his pajamas. Floyd quickly dressed in his school clothes, did his hair, and
walked out the door. Wendell and Floyd ran into many different problems on their
new shortcut and took treacherous paths.
They ran into their first problem. A thick jungle lied before them with
greenery and mystery. They walked through the thick and sticky jungle and heard
a rumbling sound in the distance. Wendell whimpered, “What was
that.”
“I don’t know,” said Floyd shakily. They tiptoed out of the jungle leaving behind
them a mystery of danger. Then, Wendell and Floyd knew exactly what lay in front
of them.
“Volcano,” yelled Wendell and Floyd. The two friends booked it trying to avoid getting
burned by rushing lava. Rocks were flying everywhere and one just barely missed
Floyd skinning his back.
Wendell yelled, “This shortcut sucks!” “Ya think,” screamed Floyd. After a long
period of exhausting running, Wendell and Floyd finally made a safe distance
between them and the volcano. Wendell and Floyd thought that was it, but it was
just the beginning.
A dozen strong guard dogs patrolled the area and growled
at every sound they heard. Wendell and Floyd quietly walked
away from the guard dogs when they saw two bows and 24 arrows lying on a tree
stump. Before they could realize that it was a trap they took the bows and
arrows and started to run. The guard dogs ran after the boys. Wendell
yelled“What are we doing, we have bows and arrows”. The boys did a 360 and
started shooting the guard dogs one by one. Each dog fell hopelessly to the
ground whimpering their last words. Wendell and Floyd cheered and moved on a
dirty, windy road.
Wendell and Floyd heard the school bell ring in the mere distance.
They ran as hard as they could thinking that they could be
early to school for the first time this year. A bullet whizzed right between
them and hit the maple sapling. They turned to see five bandits loaded with
weapons and wondered what to do. As the bandits surrounded them they
remembered that they still had their bows and arrows and started shooting in all
different directions. They were mesmerized when they saw all five bandits lying
on the ground with arrows in their bodies. Floyd ran as fast as he could and
Wendell followed shortly after. Both ran up the school’s hillside just as the
late bell rang. They rushed in the classroom and exclaimed “We are here!”
Wendell and Floyd were happy to get to school early and promised to never ever
go on that shortcut again!!!

The Adventures of Simon and Dexter
One summer day, two friends named Simon and Dexter went on an amazing adventure.
They decided to begin their adventure in the woods in the Golden Gate National
Park. When they entered the woods, they came across a bunch of ninjas that tried
to attack them. The reason the ninjas tried to attack Simon and Dexter was
because they attack any person that dares to go in the woods. Simon ran as fast
as he as he could while Dexter ran slowly. Once they found the exit they escaped
and the ninjas were gone.
Next, Simon and Dexter arrived at a volcano
that sounded like it would erupt. The volcano erupted with a lot of lava that
became is a dangerous situation for Simon and Dexter. The river of red and
orange lava was extremely hot. Suddenly, a huge fire dragon appears in a huge
bolt of fire. The dragon uses the massive eruption that seemed to swallow up
Simon and Dexter. Luckily Simon and Dexter jumped out of
that lava while
the dragon exploded.
Finally Simon and Dexter ran up a staircase that led them to the castle. The
castle had a huge crack because a huge war happened here. Simon and Dexter
were able to make it to the top of castle although it was not easy at all. They
found the way out of the castle. But a black knight blocked their way because
he wanted to challenge them into a duel. Simon said no and threw a rock at
him. The knight was defeated and Simon and Dexter escaped the castle.
After a long day, Simon and Dexter returned safely at home and they talked about
their most amazing adventure at the Golden Gate National Park.
My Happiest Moment
My happiest moment was when I won an iPad for the first time.
The way I won an iPad was because I put my ticket that I paid a dollar
for, and I was also the last person to put the ticket in. So that is the reason
why I was picked so easily to win the iPad. I won it at the Tracy mall
where the raffle was held. I was happy that I won it, because I always wanted one.
I felt so excited that I started to play the ipad over and over again
as if I enjoyed it. It had a lot of fun games so that was exciting for me.
It also had Netflix which meant I could watch movies which is exciting
too. The iPad had a lot of exciting apps so far. I really had an exciting time playing
my iPad.

The Dogs
One day my sister went with her friend Kendra.
My sister spent the whole day there. She said she was going to
the lake on a boat but she did not go. I did not know if Kendra had any dogs. It
was 8:00 PM when I went to go pick up Kendra and Veronika (my sister). There was
oncoming traffic coming both ways. My mom parked her car on the other side of
the street. Kendra’s garage door was open. I went into the driveway. GGGGGRRRRRR!
I did not know what it was until I saw three big dogs running after me. I
started running. The three big dogs were barking. Because I was wearing some
shorts, I felt fur on one of my legs. The dogs were catching up to me. I ran
very fast. I was screaming so loudly. Finally Kendra came out with Veronika.
When Kendra called her dogs, the dogs stopped in their tracks. Veronika walked
me to my mom’s car. My sister and I climbed into the car. We went home and laugh
about it.

The Shortcut
Wendell and Floyd decided to take a shortcut to school. “Boy, I sure don’t want to
be late!” sighed Floyd. “HA! I’m not sure that’s even possible!”Wendell complained. The
two boys galloped along. “Hey… I know a shortcut!” whispered Floyd under his
breath, careful not to let anyone hear. “Well then let’s go! I don’t want to be
late AGAIN,” sighed Wendell. So the two boys hurried off. Over the hill and
through the woods, Wendell and Floyd skidded to a stop. “Great. WATER.” mumbled
Wendell. “Don’t be a scaredy cat,” Floyd groaned. The boys sailed across on a
nearby boat. “Ninja Turtles!” they exclaimed. They dove down under the water to
escape them. The Ninja Turtles swam fast at their heels. Floyd and Wendell
escaped just in time.The two boys moaned and groaned when they found what was
ahead of them next. Demons, then Quicksand, then MORE demons. Floyd grabbed a
stick and Wendell grabbed a leaf. “How will that help?” a confused Floyd
asked. “Fine,” muttered Wendell, who dropped the leaf and grabbed a vine. They
battled their way through the demons, sending them flying at every step. They
crossed the quicksand with Wendell’s vine and battled through the rest of the
demons. They crossed to a rocky pathway that twisted and turned through the
mountains. “Some shortcut,” mumbled Wendell. As they crossed through the
mountains they felt relieved to have no more obstacles. Suddenly a mountain top
behind them blew off and cold snowflakes fell everywhere. The temperature
dropped rapidly. “S-s-s-s so C-c-cold.” shivered Wendell. “Oh stop complaining.”
sighed Floyd, a hint of shivering in his breath. They ran out of mountain range
and into a mud pit. They scrambled through the mud to school. They burst
through the door, ran down the hall, and slid into their seats just as the bell
rang. “Nice to see you boys.” hummed the teacher with a twang of annoyance in
his voice. “Well at least were on time.” Floyd whispered to Wendell.
“Ha-ha. Grumbled Wendell sarcastically. “On time and muddy.”

Playful
It was so fun to play night tag outside with all of my friends. We played for a
little more than two-hours. My friend lives on a court, so the boundaries were
the start of a new road and the house at the end of the hurt. We were all having
fun until a kid almost got hit by a car, even when it was three in the morning.
We stopped we went inside and just played Xbox until 8:00 in the morning.
My best friend had a party, but he was at the one where we were right then.
He had asked his mom if I could go with them 3 hours before the party. She
said yes but we need to set the party up, like put up a few banners go put
prizes out in the orchard, stuff like that.
It was a swim party for about 3 hours, and his dad barbequed.
We had a contest at the end to see who could do the best trick
on a trampoline or into a pool. We flipped a coin to see what we would do.
Heads was the trampoline, tails was the pool. I got to flip it, and it was
tails. Everyone wanted it to be tails except one kid, and that was the kid who
almost got hit by a car. There were 1st 2nd and 3rdplaces. I got 3rd my friend
got second, and my other friend got 1st. The guy who won did a cartwheel and
then a front flip into the pool holding his breath for 47 seconds. No one could
do that but him, so weautomatically told him he got 1st place. And that was
the end of my weekend.
Secret Shortcut
To start off
the morning Karan and I were obviously late to school, again. We always want to
get to school on time, but we always seem to run into something you don’t see
every day, such as flying monkeys or dancing hotdogs, which happened a couple
weeks ago. Now the same thing is starting to happen: first the annoying and
deadly hoard of cymbal players, next is the one and only Niagara falls, at last
but not least, who would guess the Spartan 300 attack.
“Great,” said Karan. “Because of your stupid idea we are probably not going
to be on time for the 79thday in a row."
“Hey, your dumb idea two weeks ago
caused us to eat 12 dancing hotdogs,” I replied.
“You have to admit, they
tasted pretty good,” Karan said with confidence.
“They were horrible,” I
barked.
“I wonder if there are still more of them out there somewhere,” Karan
wondered.
“You’re so unpredictable,” I told him. As
Karan and I kept on walking towards school they heard big Bings, and Bongs.
“Uh Oh, we said, “The cymbal players are coming!!!” BONG BONG BONG
BONG!!!!!!
“We need to…” hur-CLING!!
“Whoa!” Kar-
CLING!!
“OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!”I screamed.
10 MINUTES
LATER……
"Where am I?” Karan wondered.
“Karan, KARAN! Wake up! Were
about to fall down NIAGRA FALLS!! Hold on to this rock,” I said. “If we let go
we will die!”
5 MINUTES LATER…
“Hey, at least we only have to worry
about the 300 Spartan attack,” I told Karan.
“You do realize
they have sharp spears, bows and arrows, and swords,” he said.
“I know.”
“Hey, I think I see school,” Karan said surprisingly.
“Wait a minute. I do
too. Hurry maybe we can still be on time and not run into the 300 attack.”
As
Karan and I made it on time but the Spartans showed up in their class and we
die.

The Shortcut
Wendell and Floyd decided to take a brand-new shortcut to school. They
walked along a dusty road hoping to make it to school on time.
“You found an awesome shortcut, Floyd,”Wendell said excitedly.
“Yeah I found it last night,” replied Floyd.
“Well it’s a good thing that-,” just then, Wendell was cut off by an
ear tearing growl. Wendell and Floyd turned around and saw a giant wolf standing
16ft high and heading their way.
“Run,” shouted Floyd. They ran away, every
step crucial to
escape capture. “We’re going to make it,” exclaimed Floyd.
He just jinxed them. His last word had barely escaped his mouth when a
field of spikes came into view.
Wendell and Floyd came to an abrupt
halt. They turned around and saw the giant wolf still in pursuit but somehow
they had made the gap between them larger. “Grab the vines,” commanded
Wendell. They swung from vine to vine until they landed safely on the other
side. Meanwhile the giant wolf tried to stop itself from falling but just had
too much momentum. It rolled into the field of spikes and died as it was speared
by the sharp spikes.“Now since that’s over let’s hurry. If we’re quick we
could still make it to school on time.” Floyd explained. They hurried toward
school but found themselves in front of a huge rock wall. Wendell asked,
“Now what?”
“Now we scale the wall to get to school.”It took them 15 minutes to get over
the wall and down to the floor. As soon as
they were over the wall they could see the school. They ran straight past the
double doors of the school, through the hallways, and into their classroom just
as the school bell rang. They quickly sat down as their teacher called role and
were still on time.“Yes!” Wendell cheered silently.

Bad Day
The day that our STAR testing finally ended in 7thgrade we
had another problem to worry about. Our proficiency testing was coming up, and
to our teachers, it`s almost just as important as STAR. We had two weeks to get
ready for it and I’m pretty sure at least the majority of our class was stressed
out.
The first week, and the first day, we had to study 10 problems
on the practice proficiency… numbers 1-10. My teacher makes us have our work
shown for every problem, and if we don’t show it then we have to call our
parents. Also if we just don’t do the work at all, and make up an excuse, you
get an infraction. At the end of the week we`re up to the last problems of 31-40
and I’m A LOT less stressed because I had been studying hard and I
knew how to do about every problem in the practice test, which was great since
my teacher said that the practice test and real test are almost identical. Over
the weekend though, we had to take the proficiency test home and finish problems
41-50. BAD TIMING! I had absolutely no time during that weekend to work on it
besides the sixteen hours of my sleeping time for those two days.
The weekend was over and I was scared to death because I didn’t do my homework
so I was thinking of what excuse I could say to make him realize that I was telling the
truth. We got in class and I told him, “I didn’t have enough time during the
weekend to do my homework,” which was actually true, but in his class there are
absolutely NO excuses! I knew right there that I was toast, so I just tried to stop
talking but he kept asking me questions and the more he asked, the worse it got.
After class was over, I stayed in, and he had me call my mom and then gave
me my very first infraction. The infraction was for another reason though, because
I’ve realized that when I have to deal with teachers as mean as him, I really do have
a big mouth!

so I was thinking of what excuse I could say to make him realize that I was telling the
truth. We got in class and I told him, “I didn’t have enough time during the
weekend to do my homework,” which was actually true, but in his class there are
absolutely NO excuses! I knew right there that I was toast, so I just tried to stop
talking but he kept asking me questions and the more he asked, the worse it got.
After class was over, I stayed in, and he had me call my mom and then gave
me my very first infraction. The infraction was for another reason though, because
I’ve realized that when I have to deal with teachers as mean as him, I really do have
a big mouth!

Diary of a Dog
June 23rd
Dear Diary,
Hi diary! A little beagle like me got in a fight with my
owners! Today my owners
were fighting again! I tried to tell them that
fighting is not the case but all they say back is, “Shut up you dumb dog! Stop
it! Stop barking!” But I am not barking (I guess they
don’t understand
English)! They would not stop fighting, so I went outside to see what my dad
was doing. Like always he was fishing in the pool. A stick and rope was his
fishing pole.“Not plastic fish again-- we can’t just eat kibble all the time!”
my dad barked.
But I was fine with kibble. At least it’s a
different flavor every time! Like mouth-watering steak and home -style
salmon.The only one I don’t like is the veggie one.
And of course I get
the veggie kind tonight. I guess I got my hopes up too high again!

Dear Diary,
Ok, today I decided I am going to
run away! My parents have gone missing and I’m
going to find them! I will
miss little Kelly though. I would always comfort her when her parents were
fighting. At least I will be coming back. Wait--what if I brought Kelly with
me? That would be perfect! I’ll go get her! Wish me luck to get her to come,
Diary.
June 27th
Dear Diary,
I ran away,
but without Kelly. She just said, “I love you but quit barking at me! Am I doing
anything that bugs you?” So now I am on my own. I can already picture Kelly
crying that she misses me. I miss her too, but I must find my parents. As I
walked along the road I saw my family! I ran up to them and they said, “What
are you doing! Why did you follow us? Just go back home! Please, we are
running away because our owners ( not Kelly) told us to get out and opened the
front door to let us out!”
“But why? I don’t care-- you should have
stayed!” I said as I ran away.
June 30th
Dear Diary,
Now I really hate my parents! They hurt me like a stab in the heart! I wish
they had never run away-- ever! Sorry I’m being so harsh. It’s just that a
little beagle like me
has no parents anymore. Bye diary. Wish me a good
life.
July 4th
Dear Diary,
Today is the
4th of July. It’s my favorite holiday. I love the fireworks and I get to eat
human food! Steak!!! But the only problem is that my parents are not here. I
love this holiday because I get to celebrate with my family but all I have is
Kelly! Diary I really
hope they come back. Now I am mad at Kelly’s
parents. I am mad they let them go! But if I were my parents I
wouldn’t go! I would just stand there staring outside with a look on my
face that said what am I supposed to do! I heard a knock at the door. Probably
a party guest for dinner. But when Kelly opened the door it was not party guest
it was my parents! They had come back on my favorite holiday! I was so excited
that I did a flip in the air! Kelly gave me a piece of steak for that. I ran to
my parents and said, “Hi! How is it going! You came back on my favorite holiday!
I missed you so much and I love you so much too! “We came back because we could
not live without the little beagle in our life! We could not stop thinking about
you so we came back!”my parents said. Well I’ve got to go eat some steak and be
with my family! Talk to you later Diary!
July 6th
Dear
Diary,
Today I went to the park with my mom, dad, and Kelly! We had so
much fun! I got to catch Frisbees, slide down the slides and I attempted to do
the monkey bars. Note to self: Never try monkey bars again! It is hard! I
like to run around so the park is the perfect place for me! On my way home I saw
a fly and I went to bite it. I realized it was a bee! It stung my lip and I spit
it out. Thank God we live close to the vet. We were at the vet and I had to get
a shot in my lip! Oh the horror! They did not even put me to sleep for it! They
did it right away! Oh my lip still hurts! At least I don’t have a big swollen
bump on my lip! Well I think I am a big boy now! I got my very first shot! Well
Diary I hate to tell you this but this is my last pageL! So I will get
another Diary somehow and write in that one soon. I will miss you Diary but at
least I get to keep you!

When My Dog Broke Her Leg
One day my dad and I were chasing my dog, Coco, around the house because
she had got a Popsicle stick in her mouth. As we were running my dad threw a big
pillow at her. Instead of being hit with a pillow she slipped and bumped into the wall. Hard!
Then she fell on to the carpet and howled in pain. My dad took a look at her and
said “she needs to go to the vet” then he picked her up then put her in the
front seat of his truck as me and my sister jumped in the back seat and drove to
the vet.
We had told our vet, Dr. Vega, the story of how we chased her around
and how she bumped into the wall. Dr. Vega took Coco into the back
room to take an X-ray. He told us “Coco has a broken leg.” We asked how many
days she would have to stay at the vet and he said three days she would have to
stay. The front desk workers said “have a good day and pick her up in three
days!”
It was sad without Coco at home. No crazy dog running around the house. No dog
going in your room stealing your socks. No dog that will
snuggle with you. It just wasn’t the same without her! And the three days were a
long three days! As that day came along we all jumped in the car and drove to
the vet. When we got there Dr. Vega was holding coco. She had a hot pink cast on
her left leg and was wagging her tail like crazy! We took her home and left her
on her bed and let her chew her bone, which was her new welcome back present.
We were always carful when we pet her and were very gentle. She could not walk
for a while.
About eight to nine weeks later we took coco to the vet for a checkup. She still had
her cast on though. They said that they could check her leg and take the cast
off! And of course there was no cast when she was given back!

Sea Cadets
Ever summer Naval Sea Cadets get
to choose whether they want to go to boot camp or not. I chose to go because I
learn more for my group like, marching and the commands. Each of the cadets get
to choose which boot camp to go to. The commander has to approve it and of
course there’s a cost to pay. I chose San Luis Obispo Military base. I stayed
there for a week. Some of the other cadets chose San Luis Obispo, too. So
whoever was going could either choose to ride with the commanding officer or
their parents. I chose to ride with the commanding officer and other cadets did
too. We went as a group all the way to San Luis Obispo.
When we got there we signed in, and went to our cabins. Girls were separated
from the boys because of sexual contact and privacy. We did a lot of stuff, like r
unning two miles every morning and learning about what kind of stuff the military does.
The fun part about boot camp was doing activities, like the military courses
and watching some of the men and women do there drill’s. They taught me about
leadership and different things about the navy. One of the things they taught me
was knot tying. I had so much fun.
The day of our graduation was kind of sad to me, because I was going to miss
everybody I met there, and the fun I had. My mom and brother were there to watch
me, and I will never forget this experience.

Swimming in a Lake
A month ago, I was going to a lake for the first time! I was excited to feel the
cold water, swim, and play in the sand. The lake was in Livermore and it was
very big. It had a picnic area, paddle boat area, and a huge water area. It looked
so cool; I wanted to stay there forever. When I was swimming, the water was
freezing cold and I played with my sister. After an hour of swimming, I ate lunch.
Then I played in the sand, and then swam again.I was laughing, and finding in
shells in the water. It was awesome. My mom, brother, and sister came with me.
It was fun until more people came and the beach was almost packed with people.
It was kind of hard to swim because I haven’t swum in a year. The lake was big and
had little rope separating the lake for height for babies to adults. It was fun for my
first time to a lake. I played water tag with my sister and we did hand stands
in the water. It was the best time of my life. I want to go there every day.
If I were in charge of the world
If I were in charge of the world, I would cancel Justin BIeber (boo), sharks, weapons,
drugs, annoying little sisters and shots.
If I were in charge of the world, there would be more giraffes, pandas, zoos, beagles,
music, money, and ice cream.
If I were in charge of the world a person who hates sharks, spiders, and some famous
people would still be in charge of the world.

The Secret Short Cut
Wendell and Floyd took a new short cut to school. Along the way something made them
stop. They got dirty at the first stop, because it was a volcano about to
explode. They had to climb up and down it to get to the ground.
After that, the worst was coming. Up ahead was Pointy Pencil Forest. The worst place
to be. All kinds of pencils were attacking. But Floyd and Wendell climbed a tree and
stayed there until the pencils were gone.
They were almost to school. They heard the bell. But up ahead was the giraffe pack
making their way to Green Leaf Island. They then ran past them but on the way they fell
in a puddle of mud. They were about to quit but something caught there eye, the
school. They were never late again.
My Exciting Trip
One day, on my birth day, we decided to go to Disney land. It was fun.
We rode on different rides and went to different places. On my birth day we
wore costumes, got our faces painted, and went to Ariel’s Grotto. We had
so much fun. It was also my sister’s birthday. I also got autographs by
different characters. I got it from fairies and princesses. I also got pictures
with them. Tinker Bell liked my sister’s pen. We stayed for 3 days and 4 nights.
It was fun. I hope I will go again.

Secret Shortcut
Mike and Julian went to a new shortcut at first, they met the ninjas
and the ninjas were trying to kill them. The ninjas had a treasure full
of weapons. Next, they had to go through the deep rapid river and they
actually survived. Later they had to go through the volcano they got bad
bruises but they survived it. Then they went through the cave of monsters
they were scared it had monsters and spiders and also bats. While they
were in there they thought they weren’t going to make it but they did.
Finally they went through the bumpy train tracks and then they reached
the school.

Hawaii
Going to Hawaii made me excited and happy. I liked Hawaii, because we
got to snorkel and look at all of the fish. We snorkeled deep in the Pacific Ocean.
There were all kinds of fish, like simple orange fish to stingrays. I saw my favorite
sea animal, the non-poisonous water snake. To snorkel, you have to breathe with
your mouth through the tube and there are also these goggles which you could see
all of the animals from. There was also the infinity pool. There was a bar in the
top left corner of the pool. There was also another pool that had a volleyball court
in it. We went to Maui, in the island of Hawaii. It only took a couple hours to get there,
unlike the Caribbean. We also ate barbecued chicken on the beach. In the bar, they
had lots of sodas. I drank Dr.Pepper and Dr.Thunder most of the time. We also got
to ride on horses. The caretakers didn’t handle the horses. They teach you and then
you go ride by yourself. My horse led me to the forest and it also ran very fast in
the water.
If I Were In Charge Of The World
If I were in charge of the world, I’d cancel homework, boring books, vegetables,
gravity, sisters, nice things, brushing your teeth and Justin Bieber. If I were
in charge of the world, I’d have zombies, chocolate as vegetables, video games
in school, everything would be free, rated R movies would be G, no rules, no
presidents, Apple would be selling infinity items a day at 1000000 dollars an
item, zero gravity, no parents, no laws, no clones, no weird people, you can
teleport, you are invincible, aliens would be real, man eating monkeys, King
Kong, Men in Black would be real, and everything is awesome! Someone who likes
rollercoasters, who likes video games and likes M games, can still be in charge
of the world.

Disneyland
One day in 2009, we took a family trip to Disneyland, and I had the best time ever.
We rode rides like Madahorn, Tower of Terror, California Screaming, Big Thunder
Mountain Railroad, and Splash Mountain. We ate delicious food like hot dogs, pizza,
hamburgers, corndogs, chicken, ribs, potato salad, salad, and Ice cream. We also
got Mickey Mouse hats. Then we went to a place called Bibbidy Bobbity Boutique.
They did my hair and makeup, I looked so pretty. I was a rock star and my sister
was a diva. Lastly we watched the fireworks and lived happily ever after.

The Surgery
“Good luck”, encouraged my mom and
dad but the trembling in their voice gave away the fear. I was seven years old
when I had been given anesthesia for the second surgery on my right arm. I let
out a scream when the orderly gave me the shot. It was like glass poking in on
bare skin. My head kept falling to the side and then jerking back up as I was
being carried along in a little car-like structure. Not sure what it was,
though. I felt so…….un-alive.
Alright, you’re confused aren’t you? Let’s go to the flashback. I was born legs-first
which, let me tell you, is quite rare. And as the doctor tried to take my right arm out,
he pulled my hand back too hard! My fingers bent back to my wrist and it hurt a million!
(For the record, I’m left-handed so the thought of suing the doctor didn’t work out.)
Back to the story? Okay! As I was getting rolled in,
I gave a last glance to my parents. My dad burst into tears and my mom couldn’t
stop hers either.
After four hours of difficult surgery, I finally became conscious. But I had to
stay in the hospital three more days because my cast wasn’t ready. After I got
my cast, hot pink of course, I had it on for three months. Lack of education caused
me to be homeschooled. But it didn’t bring me down.
Finally that November day-- oh, how I loved that November
day—the cast came off! The first thing my parents said to me was,“Hello, good
morning!” I could feel their happiness. And that made me happy. In fact, my dad
was so happy that he took me to the movies, Toys ‘R Us, and ice cream.

THE DYING OF RUE
The Hunger Games is about a boy and a girl from every district, who have
to fight for their lives. From all the districts only one person can win. That means
that everybody else dies, including Rue.
Rue is an 11 year old little girl, and she is from
district 11. She is smart and good at climbing trees. District 11 is based on
agriculture, which is why she is good at climbing trees. Marvel is Rue’s enemy
and he is from district 1. He is a career, so that means he can team up with
district 2 and 4. To survive, Rue and Katness allied with each other. Katness is
from district 12, which is based on mining. They became friends, while they were
training.
Before Rues was killed, she was trying to distract the careers
by lighting up three fires, so Katness could blow up their supplies. The careers
are district 1, 2, and 4.They are the only districts that can team up against
everybody else. Her friend blew them up, but Rue failed to light the last fire.
Marvel threw a spear at Rue and it went up her stomach. As soon as that
happened, Katness used her bow and arrow and killed Marvel. In the end, Rue was
only able to light two fires and that was the end of Rue’s life.
The Hunger Games is about a boy and a girl from every district, who have
to fight for their lives. From all the districts only one person can win. That means
that everybody else dies, including Rue.
Rue is an 11 year old little girl, and she is from
district 11. She is smart and good at climbing trees. District 11 is based on
agriculture, which is why she is good at climbing trees. Marvel is Rue’s enemy
and he is from district 1. He is a career, so that means he can team up with
district 2 and 4. To survive, Rue and Katness allied with each other. Katness is
from district 12, which is based on mining. They became friends, while they were

AGENT
FREDISON!
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!”I screamed with all my might. I
bet no one heard me I was trying to out run an avalanche. Ice was being sheared
into smaller pieces with my snowboard; snow fell on my face I can’t tell if it’s
the snow or my emotions that I’m “frozen with fear.” “CAROLINE! UHH ACTAVATE
ROCKET BOOTS!” I shouted to my watch.“ CRITICTAL ERROR… ERROR 847837437!”
buzzed the watch. My eyes widen with fear.
“TTRRREEEEE!”
EARLIER THAT DAY!
“ZzzzzZZZZzzzzzz.” I
snored in class I was in my usual dream being awesome as always.
“FREDSION
WAKE UP AND ANSWER QUESTION # 67 ON PAGE 908!” shouted
my teacher right in
front of my face.
”GAHH… uh the answer is 87?” I replied in a question.
“NOPE ITS 1! You stupid piece of trash called a boy.” My teacher
sneered as she pointed to the white board to this math problem: 1X1=? I slumped
down into my chair, glumly.
“RING RING RING… I SAID RING RING… IS ANYONE
GONNA ANSWER?” went our school’s phone. They really need a new ring tone.
The teacher answers the phone” HEY FAILURE FREDSION YOUR CHECKING OUT!
Shouted the awful teacher “I hope forever.” The teacher mumbled coldly.
"Uh alright…” I mumbled I walked slowly to the office. Time didn’t go by faster as I
thought. When I came to the office I saw two men in black suites. “Are you
Fredsion McLege?” asked the 1st guy. ”Uh yes, yes I am. Who are you guys?” I
asked. “OUR names don’t matter. Just come with us,” told the 2nd man.
“I’m not supposed to talk to strangers,” I replied
"We are from the FBI,”the 1st man grumbled.
”WORKS FOR ME,” I shouted as I walked into their car.
“Fredsion your parents were kidnaped by Dr. Gunsin,” grunted the driver.
“GASP!” I gasped.
“So we are taking you to the lab where you can
get high tech stuff to defeat this … man.” Then all of a sudden the car turned
in to a jet plane. We live in Florida, but in 5 minutes and then we were at
Brazil. They landed in the water. My eyes widen in fear as water was all around
the car jet thing, we sunk down, down, down. Then soft a bump startled me. We
landed in a high tech base.
”WOW COOL!” I ran out of the jet car thingy and
ran into the base itself. “WHAT DOES THIS THING DO!? OOOH WHAT DOES THAT DO?” I
shouted.
“DON’T TOUCH TH- and you touched it…,” muttered a
scientist.
“BOOOOMMMMM!” exploded the Malfunctioned machine I
touched
“Cough cough!” I coughed.
“Ok, even though you blew up HALF of
the facility, we are ordered to give you this,” one of the scientists’grumbled
coldly. He gave me this watch that had a digital face. “Its name is Caroline. We
haven’t fixed the little problems. “Confessed the man.
“MUST DESTROY.” went
the watch.
“Ok … um let me fix that.” The scientist went nervously. I was
unsure that the watch was going to help me when they came back with her, well
“It.” As they gave me the non-destructive Caroline back to me, the lights went
out and I was taken away.
To be continued?
AGENT FREDSION! PART 2
Then the power went out and I felt a hand on my shoulder, and it started pulling
me away. I tried to scream but something was over my mouth, I tried to get a good
long look of the villain, but all I saw was a sack on my head. Then I tried to kick the kidnaper,
but he just hit the back of my head with his ice cold hand. I couldn’t do
anything so I feel asleep exhausted from trying to fight the guy, but it was
very hard to sleep when you’re being dragged on the floor. Then when I woke up,
there was a blinding light right above me. “Am I dead?” I asked worriedly.
“NO,” croaked and awful sound. “Well not yet anyway.”All
I did was gulp. I tried to get up, but I found out that I was tied to a wooden
chair. The evil bald man was just glaring at me. “ Just sit down you
little brat. You can’t go anywhere; you’re stuck here on my chair.” Hissed the
bald bad guy. ”oh how rude let me introduce myself I’m Dr. Gunsin! Be afraid
young one,” chuckled Dr. Gunsin. When the doctor finally left, I was
looking for a way out. “Caroline,” I whispered to my watch
“Yes, Mr. Fredsion?” buzzed the watch. “Uh do you have a laser
on you?” I questioned. “Laser?” asked th robotic watch.
“LASER ACTVEATED!” screeched Caroline.
Then a HUGE laser as tall as a
white board times 3 started zapping the ropes one by one. Free at last. Caroline
stowed away her laser and we were off. I never ran this fast in my life, but
well maybe that one time in P.E class. I heard a cry for help so I applied my
nonexistent brakes and opened a door that led to the noise.
“HI MOM HI DAD.” I beamed.
“Hi son, now can you help us to GET US OUT OF HERE?! Please.”
Boasted my father.
My parents where both tied onto a chair.
Caroline got her laser again and stat cutting away. Then my parent’s
disappeared randomly.
“IT’S A TRAP! They were holograms!”Caroline
observed. I ran out of the room to the hallway.
“MR. GUNSIN LIED! HE DOSENT
HAVE MY PARENTS,” I shouted “I WISH I CAN SIMPLY PLACE AN AVALANCHE ON HIM!” I
cried out.
“Avalanche started, sir.” Went the destruction crazy robot
watch.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE went the evil lair. The exit was right outside. I
was almost out when I saw snow for miles.
“Uh oh, Caroline uh give me a
snowboard.” I grumbled with snow up to my knees.
“Snow board activated.”
Caroline buzzed. Then the watch untangled itself off my wrist and into a
snowboard that looks like it has flames. I jumped on the snowboard and away I
went. I felt something on my wrist, when I went downhill. Caroline was on my
wrist. “Wait, if you’re on my wrist then who am I riding on?” I
asked. “Your ridding on an imposter sir do you want me to
…MALFUCTION!” Caroline went crazy. And so did the fake Caroline snowboard.
TO BE CONTINUED … AGAIN!

Dear Diary,
I’m a really big lion and I live in the African plains. There are a
lot of really big trees around me and a lot of grass around me to.
Africa is a really big continent. I can found my food in a lot of places
that’s a good thing about Africa. There are a lot of small animals
or really big animals in Africa.
I have very sharp teeth. My teeth can cut through a lot of thing. For example
I can cut the skin and bone. I can kill my prey. But I can also kill myself if I
want to because that’s how sharp my teeth are. So now I told you how sharp
my teeth are.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
Bye.

P.S. To get sharp teeth you has to be a lion.

My Summer Vacation
Last summer I went to a
police academy for four hours a day and for two weeks.We did a lot of things
there like holding a real unloaded gun, and we got to see a volunteer get
tazed.The coolest thing was on the second to last day when we went to mountain
mikes pizza and got to arrest some volunteer’s then eat some pizza.This year I
am going to the police academy again and I hope I get to do similar stuff to
what I did last year.
One thing I’m doing this summer is getting a
new videogame on july 31st it’s called Kingdom hearts 3D dream drop distance
it’s supposed to be the last back story game until they make kingdom hearts
3.Another thing I’m doing this summer is going to the movie theater’s with my
dad to see movies like the Avengers and The Amazing Spider – Man I am most of
all looking forward to Spider – Man because he is my favorite superhero.
The last thing I plan on doing this summer is hanging out with my friends
Brian,Kylee,Austin,and my best friend Ahmed we are proably going to go to each
others houses and stay their all day.
That concludes my list of summer
activities I have planned this summer before school starts on augest 9th I’m
going to be in the 7th grade this year and in two years I’m going to be in high
school and four years after that I’m going to be in college.

A Shortcut to School
Mia and Kendall were
late to school every day for the first few weeks of 4th grade. They would wake
up early, they would run to school, but something always stopped them from
getting there on time. After the first few weeks of being late, Mrs. Walkermen
was fed up with their schemes and outrageous stories. She announced in her most
firm voice, “You must be on time tomorrow or else!” Mia and Kendall had no clue
what they were going to do. They decided after a two hour talk that they were to
set off for school at 6:59 AM.
The girls woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and Mia made it over to Kendall’s
house just in the nick of time. At the exact time they planned, 6:59, they set
off for school. It should take them 66 minutes to get to school and be in their seats
before the late bell. Kendall told Mia about the shortcut she found last night when she was
going to get her sister from her play date at Kimmy’s. Kendall guided Mia to the
back road which led to the shortcut.
After about 12 minutes, they
approached an enormous ape throwing banana peels. Kendall was a worry wart. She
worried and worried and worried. She also panics in times like these. After
being hit in the back with a banana, something clicked with her because she
grabbed Mia’s hand and she ran and dodged the banana peels. After 23 minutes,
they were walking back on their trail to school.
Not long after the ape incident, a crowd of business men crowded around the two
girls asking them to buy this or buy that. Mia took charge this time by telling the
business men “no thank you”,“no thanks” but of course they did not listen. They wanted them
to buy something. Mia shouted with her loudest voice “There are people over
there they would love to buy your items!” The mob dashed in the direction of the
way Mia was pointing. The girls were so exhausted from all that running and the
mob they sat on the curb of the side walk drinking the water they brought with
them. In a flash, the mob was back. “Oh-No.” “This cannot be happening I thought
they were gullible!” cried Kendall. “We’ll never make it” cried Kendall again.
Mia whispered “Jump into the bushes we will camp out until they clear out.”
Kendall nodded in agreement. After about 9 minutes, the businessmen cleared out.
“We only have 22 minutes until we are late to school.” Mia said as calmly as she
could so she would not worry Kendall.
The girls ran and ran and till they could not run anymore. Then they came across the
weirdest thing… it was raining, hailing, and there was a tornado in the middle of the
summer. How weird! Kendall was sucked up into the tornado. When she reached the
top and could see the school and she shouted “I see the school, I see the school!” Mia
shouted back up “Is it close?” “Yes it is” replied Kendall. Kendall flew across
the street. She shook all the dirt off her and the two girls ran through the
snow, hail, and other weird weather.
They heard the bell ring! “We’ll never make it!” said Kendall! “Yes we will” replied Mia.
The girls made it to school before the second bell rang and Mrs. Walkermen was surprised!
“Thank you for being on time girls.” That is all Mrs. Walkermen told the girls.
“We are taking the shortcut every day from now on! Agreed?” “Agreed.”

Dear Diary,
Today I visited my best bud, the Dog, and he was chasing a cat. He was not doing very
well so I stepped in. Not my best move. I came out with a bitten tail and a ripped ear. Mom is

Dear Diary,
Today was Dad’s birthday and I could not wait to give him my present! J
Dog taught me how to set up the gift I gave dad. It is called a mouse trap! It looks
like a foot massage thingy! This morning I set up the mouse trap and dad stepped in
it! I proudly announced, “Do you love your present?” But it was interrupted by a
piercing scream. “Dad” I said to him,“You are not supposed to scream, it is a mouse
trap it is supposed to massage your feet, I think.” Dad yelled “Mouse traps are supposed
to catch mice not massage feet!” You could tell Dad was angry. “Sorry!” I squeaked in my
most innocent tone. He was not buying it. “You are grounded mister!” On the
bright side, I got dad to let me have cake! Remember in future: Mouse Traps do
not give massages, they are to trap mice.

Dear Diary,
Well yesterday I was ungrounded! Dad only ungrounded me because he said I
did not know better. I was invited over to Dog’s house and when I got there he was
swimming. I went in with him for the first few minutes. It was so cold my fur was not
helping keep me warm. I finally got used to it and I jumped off the step like dog did.
Dog was a swimmer, he loved swimming. Other dogs I knew hated swimming but Dog
loves it. As soon as I jumped in I started to drown. I remembered something important,
I can’t swim! “Help” I screamed “Help!!” SUPER DOG (aka Dog) came to my rescue.
He saved me! That night I told my family about it. Dad rolled his eyes and called me a
trouble maker. Mom laughed and laughed and laughed and said not to swim anymore.
All my brothers and sisters laughed and laughed. Remember in the future: Do not swim!

Dear Diary,
Today Dog and I are being investigators to find the mystery of my lost
cheese! First, we asked mother if she knew anything about it and she replied,
“Nope, sorry sweetie.” None of my brothers and sisters knew about it either.
Only one suspect left, Dad. We set up a Cheese Cam and put a plate of cheese out
the same type as mine. We checked the Cheese Cam later and saw that dad ate it!
How rude! I knew it was him! When we confronted him he said he did not eat it!
Who could it have been then? Dad told us to check the Security Cheese Cams. I
did not know we had those. I checked them and I was surprised and angry with
myself. I told Dog he could not check them because he could not fit through our
tiny door. I guess I was so hungry I ate my cheese too fast and I didn’t realize
I had none left. I thought someone ate my cheese. Oops! Remember in future: Make
sure it is not you before you think it is someone else.

not give massages, they are to trap mice.

Dear Diary,
Well yesterday I was ungrounded! Dad only ungrounded me because he said I
did not know better. I was invited over to Dog’s house and when I got there he was
swimming. I went in with him for the first few minutes. It was so cold my fur was not
helping keep me warm. I finally got used to it and I jumped off the step like dog did.
Dog was a swimmer, he loved swimming. Other dogs I knew hated swimming but Dog
loves it. As soon as I jumped in I started to drown. I remembered something important,
I can’t swim! “Help” I screamed “Help!!” SUPER DOG (aka Dog) came to my rescue.
He saved me! That night I told my family about it. Dad rolled his eyes and called me a
trouble maker. Mom laughed and laughed and laughed and said not to swim anymore.
All my brothers and sisters laughed and laughed. Remember in the future: Do not swim!
Your barely alive friend,

Dear Diary,
Today Dog and I are being investigators to find the mystery of my lost
cheese! First, we asked mother if she knew anything about it and she replied,
“Nope, sorry sweetie.” None of my brothers and sisters knew about it either.
Only one suspect left, Dad. We set up a Cheese Cam and put a plate of cheese out
the same type as mine. We checked the Cheese Cam later and saw that dad ate it!
How rude! I knew it was him! When we confronted him he said he did not eat it!
Who could it have been then? Dad told us to check the Security Cheese Cams. I
did not know we had those. I checked them and I was surprised and angry with
myself. I told Dog he could not check them because he could not fit through our
tiny door. I guess I was so hungry I ate my cheese too fast and I didn’t realize
I had none left. I thought someone ate my cheese. Oops! Remember in future: Make
sure it is not you before you think it is someone else.
Your cheese eating friend,
The Mouse
Veronika
The Shortcut
One day Veronika
and her friend Kendra had to take a shortcut to school, because their teacher
Mrs. Alexander said if they are late one more time they would be in big trouble.
Veronika told Kendra to get up really early. In the day Kendra woke up and went
to Veronika’s house. Veronika did not expect Kendra to wake up at 6 am and come
over without calling, but she got dressed anyway. When she was done they were
off.
Veronika and Kendra took the shortcut and on
their way to school they ran into some evil trees. Kendra asked Veronika “Can we
please take the other way I’m a little scared.” Veronika told her no because it
is a shortcut we will be there in no time and I will be here by your side.
Kendra said okay lets go, and Veronika said Very cheerfully, “Yes.” Veronika ran
and the trees got up from the ground and chased her Kendra walked in relief that
the trees weren’t chasing her. Veronika out ran the trees and Kendra came right
behind her, and they kep going.
The next thing they came across was ninja horses. Kendra asked if they
can go back, but Veronika told her, “No.”
“Do you want to back to the evil trees?” asked Veronika.
“No.” Kendra said in fright.
Veronika asked “Don’t you have a
black belt in karate?”
Kendra said, “Yes”
Veronika said “Okay then kick
some horse’s behind.”
After that thee two friends kept walking Kendra
said, “We are lost.”
Veronika said, “No we are almost there.”
After those five words the two girls saw something so amazing. It was a huge and scary
volcano and it was getting ready to erupt, the both of the girls were scared.
Theolcano erupted, but it was not lava. Surprisingly it
shot out some cute penguins. Veronika told Kendra, “Penguins now can fly, well
it’s a good thing I brought my umbrella.” Kendra said, “Ha, ha very funny.”
Veronika gave her a funny smirk. The girls walked around and they could
hear the school bell.
Veronika said, “We can make it if we run.” So
the two children ran to the sound of the bell. The girls ran and ran and ran
until they were at school.
Veronika said, “We made it.” Kendra said, “Yes we are not late no bad
punishment.”The girls sat in their seats and the teacher congratulated them for
not being late, and the teacher asked them what they did to not be late. The two
girls said only three words,“Wake up early.” Now the girls take a new short cut
each day. After that the two girls were never late for school again!

The Secret Shortcut
Wendell and Flowed took a new short cut to get
to school. At first they ran into a volcano but the volcano was exploding so
they jumped over it they found a vain and went back and forth and the vain went
fast and they jumped and made it. When they jumped over it they fell in mud and
got dirty.
Then they went through Pencil Forest but it was hard to get
through because the pencils were very sharp. They were thinking of a way to pass
them so they went around them. It was hard to get around them. Finally they got
out of the pencil forest. Meanwhile they were walking and saw big giraffes’.
They got sacred so they gave them self a moment. They went on top of the
giraffe’s neck and slid down on them. They were on the hill to get to school and
they heard the bell so they started running. They made it to school on
time.
