Ugly. Gay. weird. Strange. He got called these names everyday, constantly. He was just an average teenager, fifteen actually. The bullying started in sixth grade when he was eleven years old. He had braces, glasses, and was the nerd type. In every class, he raised his hand until the day came when a rumor spread like a wild fire. He was laughed at on the bus, teased at lunch, and picked on during gym because he wasn't athletic. His mom and dad didn't know because whenever they ask how his day was, he always replied with "fine" or "okay" but in reality, those were just words and not feelings. No one really cared about him until he was gone, dead. Instead of reading this from our point of view, lets read it from his.

I don't have the best life, friends, well no friends actually because no one liked me. I'm the kid that sits alone at lunch, sits in the back of the class, and I'm that one out of fifty that gets bullied. I'm not attractive and probably never will be. I wore old jeans, converse, and plaid or band shirts almost everyday. I get bullied for that too. The bullying and the rumors and began in sixth grade. It was after math, my favorite subject, a group of boys started teasing me about being a 'nerd' and looking the way I do. They judged me on my glasses, my braces, the fact that I loved math and school in general. From that day on, I sat alone at lunch ( like usual ), in the back of the class, and I didn't ride the bus home, I walked. I hid my feelings from my parents because I knew they would freak out. I'm their 'little baby' even though I'm 15 and in high school. Anyways, all through out middle school, I skipped a few days every month and I constantly left early because I was to afraid to go to my last class for to long, but my mom thought my stomach hurt. My last class was the main class I was bullied in because the teacher was never there so she didn't notice.
Now, I'm in high school, a sophomore, you thought people would be more mature as they got older but that's not true. People threatened me, took my money, hit me, and more terrible things, After five years of being bullied, you would think a teacher or your parents would notice, but mine didn't.
My dad died (got bullied for that too) so my mom kinda zoned out of every thing. She stopped asking me how my day was, stopped watching TV, or going out and just sat in her dark room. The most terrible day at school, I got beat up really bad, and that was the one day my mom didn't stay trapped in her dark lonely room. I had bruises on my arms and back, my shirt was torn and I had a swollen, almost black eye. She asked me what happened and I finally explained everything to her. She started yelling at me because I never told her these things but at the same time she was crying because she felt bad for me. I sat in my room for a while, crying and thinking. "I'm so sick of being bullied. I get called insulting names everyday, my money gets taken, people judge me on how I look and even how I sound, even where I lived and my home life! I didn't have much, we lived in a cheap apartment with twenty stories and my mom often worked at a gas station. She tried her best to please me and get me what I wanted even though I never wanted anything." I grabbed my laptop and created a social media account and saw there was a hate page all about me. The things said online were nastier and more rude than what was said to my face. I was mad. I shut my lap top, grabbed my shoes, and ran out of the door and up a ton of stairs. I'm on the top of our apartments with my feet dangling and I'm looking down at the hard ground. I'm thinking about what I'm about to do, "I'm gonna loose everything I have but I have nothing worth saving. I'm tired of being bullied, living, bre-" 

And he was gone, His life ended in the middle of a sentence but then again, whose doesn't?
The next day, everyone at school was talking about him and hoping he died...he did. His mom was broken. She sued the school for letting the kids get away with bullying, for causing her child to commit suicide. They didn't deny it. She officially had no one in her life.
She soon became a 'mentor' kind of person who helps people with bullying, and suicide, She's now known across the country because of her four published books for helping suicidal/bullied children who don't want to speak up and get help. Pretty much kids like her son.

Object in family members house

Every year, my family has a big thanks giving dinner but we do it at different houses each year. A few years ago, my aunt Janie became a part of the family again after being missing for almost eight years. She wanted to have the dinner at her house this year, so we did. She had quite a large house so every one could fit. I loved exploring new places that were foreign to me because I found out so much stuff. The way my aunt acts, I bet she has a lot of stuff to hide so I would have fun in her house! My mom baked apple pie, brownies, and chicken legs. We were now heading over to aunt Janie's and I was excited, not for the family or food, but for the mysteries. Maybe I would find out why she was 'gone' so long or why she wouldn't allow any one up stairs.
We pulled up to her house, it had four stories and a lot of land. The back yard was fenced in and there was an old shed about 17 feet from the house. When we got inside, I made sure no one was paying attention to me so I could make my escape up stairs. It took me a few minutes but I finally made it upstairs. Some of the doors were blocked off and the bathroom had red stains every where. I opened the bath room closet and a knife fell onto the floor with what seemed to be blood stains. I started assuming that aunt Janie was a murderer, or maybe she didn't know the stuff was here. I was making my way up to the third floor when I heard talking up there. I continued walking anyways. I was finally on the third floor which was one big room, maybe like a living room. I started to get suspicious as to why I heard talking but no one was up here, The third floor had no rooms, doors, windows, or anything except carpet. I brushed that off my shoulder and out of my mind and went up stairs. It was really pretty upstairs. Maybe the prettiest floor in the house! There was silk curtains and fluorescent furniture. It smelt of roses and perfume which smelled kinda good. I started walking around and found a book and a pen laying on the coffee table. I sat down on the red sofa and began reading the journal. The first few pages were alright but when I started to read the sixth page, the only words I read were "I killed" before I heard aunt Janie's voice coming up the stairs. She didn't know I was up here so I shoved the book up my shirt and acted like I was asleep. She was now up stairs, on the couch, and looking at me. She began crying. I heard her whispering to herself because she thought I was asleep, "Oh Madison, you remind em so much of my daughter Madeline before she died. She had bright/golden brown hair like you and the softest blue eyes." She started rubbing her fingernail along my back bone, then i 'woke' up because I didn't like where this was going. She was going to kill me! I bolted downstairs to my parents and held on to them for a while. Soon, I went outside to the mysterious shed I saw when we arrived. The door was locked but the lock was so old and barely got messed with for a while. the lock just came off when I pulled on it. I slowly opened the door and I was amazed at what I saw! It was a little girls body with blood covering her throat. I immediately ran inside and made my parents come back to the shed with me. When I opened the door, their mouths dropped and they whispered, "Madeline." It was aunt Janie's daughter... My mom ran inside, grabbed Janie's hand and drug her outside. She started yelling and cussing at aunt Janie because she murdered her child, my moms niece. After my mom was done yelling at my aunt, she called the police and explained everything. Aunt Janie then went to jail for life time.
I knew my aunt was weird but I didn't know she was that weird, I guess that's why she went missing for so long, she didn't want any one to find out about her murder case!

princess, Knight, and dragon

The princess, Isabella, was soon getting married to the knight, but not by choice. Her parents chose who she married because she was a princess and not a normal person. She didn't wanna get married to him because every time they were alone, he would hurt her and beat her, but not enough to leave marks or scars. Her parents don't know because he plays a good guy in front of them and if she tells anyone, he'll hurt her worse. She only had one true friend but it was a dragon. His name was Fiery and he knew all of Isabella s secrets, including that she hates the knight. Fiery didn't tell Isabella but he was gonna rescue her the night before the wedding! He knew it would make her happy and make the night angry. Fiery would take Isabella to his home and never let her go back to the mean knight.
It was now the day before the wedding and early that morning, Fiery told Isabella the plan and she went along with it. It was now night time and Isabella told the knight she had to use the bathroom which was all the way down stairs on the first level of the castle. She ran down the stairs with a small bag and ran to the woods and she escaped. No one noticed until morning and everyone was having a panic attack, except the knight. It's an hour before the wedding and no one could find Isabella because she was long gone in a safe place. As soon as Isabella and Fiery landed at Fiery's home way in the sky, all the dragons came to welcome her and set up her new house. She was so happy to be living in the clouds where no one could find her.
The wedding was starting and the knight stood at the end of the isle waiting on Isabella for a whole hour! The knight charged out of the wedding room in the castle and into the court yard. He knew that she ran away because of him and he was now beating his head with a flower pot and calling himself stupid. He told himself that if she ever came back, he wouldn't hurt her again. That wasn't helping him at all. The damage was done and Isabella's gone, he can't take back what he did.
Isabella was fixing lasagna for the dragons because they had never had it before except Fiery. When the lasagna was done, they all ate some and wanted more. Where Fiery lived it was only him and his small family so nothing major to worry about. But not, it was time to go to bed.
When the knight and Isabella's parents' got back to the castle, her parents took the night into a small white room and started asking him questions due to why their princess ran away. After 3 questions, the knight finally confessed to him abusing her and all the mean things he did to her. The king was extremely upset. He took all the nights Armour, clothes, weapons and everything he had and put him in and arena with a hungry, and wild unicorn for entertainment and punishment. The unicorn chased the night for almost 10 minutes then stabbed him in the back and ate him. He was gone now.
After 2 weeks Isabella decided to visit her parents and she didn't know the knight was killed. She missed her family dearly and she wanted to stay with them again but she didn't want to leave the dragon. They all compromised that she would stay 2 week at home and 2 weeks with the dragons. She then went to visit her unicorn and saw his head. She smiled a little knowing she was safe now.

Death date tattoo

At birth, everyone has a tattoo on their arm and that's the day they would die. My tattoo was my birthday, August 10th, but the year was 2080 and it was currently August 9th, 2080. My mom made August 9th a big day for me since I was going to die tomorrow. While she was ordering food, she gave me fifty dollars so I got something simple, a few numbers. I changed August 9th to August 19th and I changed 2080 to infinity. I was hoping to live a little longer but I know this won't work. I went back to the food court and gave my mom the thirty dollars in change but she told me to keep it. She ordered us two cheeseburgers, two sweet teas, and a large fry. Of course, it was from my favorite fast food place, cook-out. "So, what did you buy that was worth twenty dollars?" my mom asked. I showed her my 'fixed' tattoo and she smiled, "I know you don't wanna go but there's really not much we can do about it." My eyes got teary and I didn't finish my fries.
When we finally got home from being out all day, I put on shorts and an over sized long sleeve shirt and grabbed my laptop. I started thinking, "what if this tattoo fixing actually works, what if I live longer than I'm supposed to, longer than twelve in the morning August ninth, twenty eighty? Would I be a legend, or would no one care? I hope it works." It was soon nine at night so I took a shower, ate some pizza, and brushed my teeth. I didn't go to bed right away because I wanted to stay up as long as I could if I was going to die. My phone started going off with fifty new texts all saying sappy stuff like you're the best  or were gonna miss you or stay strong. It got pretty annoying and only made me think about my death more!
After I calmed down and the thoughts that were giving me a head ache were gone, it was eleven thirty pm and almost time for my death. I sat on my phone for a few minutes until my mom walked in. My dad isn't in this part of my life because my parents divorced a few years ago when I was thirteen. I'm now sixteen. It was eleven fifty eight and we were crying and holding each other. We didn't realize how much time we spent crying because it was now twelve thirty on August 10, 2080. I lived! The tattoo worked and I didn't die! Me and my mom started screaming with joy and we had ice cream, candy, cake, and more. I got thirteen alerts on my phone, all from friends. A few of them read; I miss you already or sad you're gone. They didn't know that I didn't die, and I like to scare people so I ignored their texts but around nine AM, I text-ed them back with a smile face. Ashley, Kimberly, and Amanda all rushed over to my house. They didn't even knock, they came straight in. When I opened my room door, their mouths dropped and they were so surprised. They were crying and hugging me and we were all laughing. 10 years later, I was 26 years old and still living. I told no one about the tattoo except Amanda. My career launched off as a singer and I even started helping Amanda with vocal lessons so she could open for me!

I'm a tree describing my view

I'm a tree. I have bright green bushy leaves and I'm not like any normal trees, I can talk! Mainly to animals, but sometimes to humans. Yes, they get freaked out but if they record me, I hit them with one of my limbs and I hide them in my leave nest forever. One day, something strange happened! A unicorn eating pancakes with a lions tail, cats feet, and fairies wings ran past me, I was shocked. I had never seen anything like that before except for now it was amazing. She was colorful and had bright and neon wings, and her horn was beautiful! But the way she ate seventy pancakes and three muffins at once was totally unattractive. I've heard of her and I want to meet her but I'm only a tree. I can't move, I can't walk, and I can't express emotions. I can think emotions, I can say them, but I can't actually express them. After I was done obsessing over the unicorn I just saw, a little kid and his mother were running and stopped in front of me, "mom, I know I saw it, I just know it! It had neon wings with a tiger tail and cat feet and it was a unicorn!" The mom rolled her eyes, "you're hallucinating bobby, there was no unicorn, they're fake." Bobby crossed his arms then grabbed his moms hand, "come on mom please, I know it's real!" The mom yanked away, "you made me run half way across this forest to tell me you saw a stupid unicorn even though they don't exist?! We are not going any further!" I couldn't take it anymore, so I finally spoke up, "Ma'am there was a unicorn. She was beautiful and your son isn't hallucinating, maybe you are." That was the first time I had spoken to a human in six years and it felt great! Little Bobby was screaming with joy but his mom passed out. Bobby did not know how to get out of the forest and it was night time so he stayed with me. I kept them safe from danger. After a few weeks, Bobby and Laura (his mothers name) ended up living with me in the forest! It made me happy because I had someone to talk to when I  was bored or needed someone to talk to. They found their food in the wilderness and rarely ate meat so that's good. The only times they ate meat was when they killed some thing that tried to attack me. After a few months. it felt like we were almost a family! I loved it! Soon, I even met the unicorn/tiger/cat of my dreams. She visits me every day! From then on, we all supported each other and we lived happily but no more people passed by for a long time.

Storm

It was a bright sunny morning, the sky was happy and a very pale pink. The sun was out and the kids were playing and dancing around. Around noon time, the sky started fading to a magenta color. It didn't seem safe but the parents didn't get a notification so they stayed out side. The kids played on swing sets, in their backyards, and even climbed trees. I was driving to my uncles house and heard a little kid scream to his friend, "watch out! The sky's raining giant lava drops!!" I looked up to see that the sky was now purple with magenta and red rain droplets falling down. I got worried because this has only happened one time before, three thousand years ago. I sped up and soon arrived at my uncles. It started to thunder so all the kids and parents went inside. Jonah, my uncles six year old son got locked in a shed. He was to weak to break the door, to short to pick the lock, and no one could hear him because of his tiny little voice. So, he sat. Soon, the sky was red, yellow, blue, and brown, and the rain drops were orange and green. So many teenagers were outside with their phones taking selfies, it was ridiculous. Loud thunders and lightning strikes started  and they were all neon plaid. In the distance, you could see a red, silver, gold, and metallic purple tornado joined up with seven other tornadoes heading towards us. We all ran to the seller, except little Jonah. With everything going on with the storm and all, my uncle completely forgot about his son. Once the tornado hit, it damaged the shed severely, it took down four of our trees, two of our cars, and more. After the storm was over, the sky was a pastel blue with orange pastel flowers. My uncle soon became very angry and barged into the shed only to find his son, Jonah, laying on the ground with a hammer through his stomach, and an ugly color of blood coming out of his eye sockets and toes. My uncle screamed in fury and they sky turned red, black, and a dark purple.

My little cousins funeral was held two weeks ago with what was remaining of his body. No one in their right mind talked to my uncle, visited him, or spoke of him. He hates himself, the world, and everything else now. So that's how my cousin died from this rare storm two and a half weeks ago.

She's crazy...

  It was five in the morning, Kristin and Tessa were in their backyard looking at the lake. They saw a figure run along the edge of the lake. The two girls looked at each other with a frightened look. Tessa jumped up and ran into the house only to see the same figure standing at her door. She slowly backed out of the house and ran to Kristin, "Kristin, there's someone in the house," Tessa said almost in tears. Kristin rolled her eyes, "this can't be real...I think you're hallucinating." As Kristin walked into the house, she heard a lamp fall and a scream from upstairs. When Kristin went into the house, Tessa got a call. It was a blocked number but when she answered it, a message came on; "Hi, this is the Canadian government. There has been a girl on the loose that murdered her family. Watch out for her, she's mean, she's crazy and she's a killer. She has been spotted just outside of the stratford area and she goes by the name Selena. If you have any sights of her please contact the police. She has brown, curly hair, brown eyes, and a tan skin tone." they hung up. Tessa's mouth dropped, "KRISTIN," she yelled. Kristin ran out of the house to see how scared Tessa looked, "we have to leave NOW!" Tessa said desperately as a tear started rolling down her face. "I'll explain to you later, we just have to get some where safe," Tessa whimpered. The two girls then started running. They finally arrived at their friends Kristina and Michelle's house. Tessa finally explained everything to everyone and they locked everything, the windows, door, basement, garage, everything..."But the worst part is...she was in mine and Kristin's house. That's why we came here." Kristin's face went pale and her eyes' got wide, She didn't speak for the rest of the night. At around two in the morning, Tessa got another phone call, "This is the Canadian government. Selena, the murderer was last seen in someones house 15 minutes out of stratford. But now she is gone. Be on the look out and call the police if you notice any suspicious activity."  Tessa put her phone down but didn't go back to sleep. An hour later, Tessa, Kristina, Michelle, and Kristin were all in one room. The doors were all locked before they went to bed. *screech*  there was a scratching on the wall outside. Now every one's awake and paranoid. *screech* 10 minutes later, we heard foot prints on the stairs. Then, the only light in the room switched off, the room went pitch black and the door opened. All they could see was a figure standing there with curly hair. They all knew who it was and they were all doomed. The next day, the police found Kristin, Kristina, Michelle, and Tessa all dead in a river. Selena was then found with her leg caught on a branch only a few feet away from the girls. Selena was sent to a solitary confinement for lifetime.

Durham in 100 years

Mia and Anna were born almost 19 years ago, they're twins. Their mom died when they were 6. As they were going through her stuff, they found a little notebook with a lot of stories in it from 2014. It was now 2114. Mia was searching through the book and reading the stories and she found this specific one which said;

My name's Megan. I'm 15 years old and I know I'm gonna die within 100 years.

I really want to know what the future of Durham is like in 100 years though. I want to

have two lovely children and live in a two-story house so I can slide down the stairs like I did as 

a kid. I want to be happily wed to a wonderful husband and I want to own my own business.

If any one's reading this in 2014, how's Durham? What's it like?

A tear strolled down Anna's face knowing that if their mom only lived 13 more years, she would've seen what Durham was like after those 100 years. Anna looked at Mia who was trying to fight the tears, "I think we should write a 'letter' back to mom and put it on top of this page in her journal," so they did. When Mia and Anna were done, the letter said:

Dear mom, the future is...okay. Definitely a lot different than 100 years ago. Everything

is pretty much technology, and the national anthem is now Gas Pedal and the national

dance is now twerking, which is pretty stupid and gross. The I phone 97 just came out yesterday

and it's thin as paper and as long as a size 6 shoe!! But I'm still here with the I phone 60 

because the newer phones are stupid and just glitch to much. 

No one exercises anymore except a few people. Most of the people fly around on little

hover crafts but we decided to stick with walking. It's not all that great here in Durham 

for us... People only rely on technology and even stores stopped selling paper and note 

books so it was kinda hard to find the sheet of paper we're writing this letter on..Anyways, 

hope you're having fun with grandpa, grandpa, and dad, we love you!

Mia and Anna folded the note once and stuck it into the notebook. Guess Durham isn't all that great in 100 years. I mean look at it now! Anna put the notebook where they found it and it was now dinner time. "Well I guess Durham can't be that bad, Twitter got deleted so that drama is gone. TMZ got banned so the rumors have died off. I guess I'm pretty happy about TV too... dumb shows like Uncle Grandpa and Phineas and Ferb got cancelled and kids are actually starting to act better in school," Anna announced. Mia shook her head agreeing to what I said with her face stuffed with food.
