1. Just another person walking Across the way, running because he is late and Class is about to begin, he loves fighting with friends (but only for pretend.) Ohhh how he fights with his head held high, for he knows he is to be choked before the time is up By his best friend, I laugh as he is rolling around the mat. Close but no cigar is what he is told. He is <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Overlooking the building inside, he looks at me while I am <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Rolling on the ground laughing for I know he has just met defeat. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Before he challenges me, he smiles and laughs along then <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">I am caught off guard and taken down. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Now under attack I look for help but none is to be seen. It is over. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">My how the time flies when I’m with my best friend, <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Yet I seem to be at a loss of words when I look into his eyes knowing <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Behind all this muscle and strength, is a guy who wants to be free. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Everytime he is on the mat I always talk and play around with him. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Some days I am waiting but he is unable to come and I feel as if my heart will drop. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Then out of the blue he comes in huffing and puffing and a loss of words. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Finally the “party” begins. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Running for a warm up laughing as well talk, <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">I am completely unaware that my other friend <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Elle has entered the building. She keeps walking not paying attention. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Now I know that she is talking to a good friend of hers. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Down I go but my spirits fly high like a bird for I am happy with my best friend Jacob Corbin.

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Grande','Microsoft Yahei',Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: 20px;">The wind blowing on our faces, as we race down the white hill. White puff balls blowing by our heads, as they are thrown at the boys snowboarding. laughing on the ground, thinking what a ride. stepping onto the field, knee deepin snowing. we looked around at the untouched, perfectly white snow filled land ahead of us, and suddenly it is gone. snow all over us, the boys laughing, after pushing the girls down. laughing, running, fleeing. having the time of our lives, not wanting it to be over. sitting on the driveway eating in our wet suits. looking around at what mother nature brought us. It starts to snow again…………. YES!!! NO SCHOOL, another chance to live relive the day. snowball fights to end the perfect day, of many to come. Looking out the window at the world around us. Hot chocolate burning my tongue. OWWWWW. SLURP!!! Cousins and friends, sitting watching Mall Cop. Laughing with each other, flirting with our guy friends, flirting back. Thank you mother nature for a weeks of snow we will never forget!

SUMMER By Sara Eadie

Laughing all day on the way to Florida, Not caring about the time till we are in the sunny warm state. Sleeping for hours on end. Texting our friends who are back in Virginia. The time is late but we don’t care. Vanessa and Ashley laughing about how we can’t find a good position to sleep in. We are told to calm down and try to sleep.

The days spent in the water park. Watching the people enter and exit rides, while tanning in the hot florida sun. Talking, chatting, laughing, screaming, Clinging for dear life to the person next to me, I pay no attention that the ride is over we continue our day, but with our new friends. Laughing and passing time by playing marco pollo in the wave pool. Running into tubes, we have the idea to buy one ourselves. Two people in one tube. Me and Jimmy, Vanessa and Josh, Ashley and bri. The others are stuck outside in the cold water.

Party time at the park. 13 and up. Laughing and talking about how much fun it is going to be. Baseball game the next day for the guys, and water park again for the girls. Texting til midnight. Trying not to wake our family.

Leaving, looking back on the experiences we had. Vanessa, Ashley and I crying for we know we will never see the guys again. Now entering gerogia is on the sign to our left and right. What a ride, What a day, what a life, what a summer.

Fall by sara Eadie

Leaves on the ground weather is colder Field Hockey, Mens soccer, and Tenis. Running around watching the cross country runners go by. Screaming for the team to win, and being nice to others. Rain is more likely. looking up and seeing the black clouds above my head. pouring rain in the middle of a game. Players are huddled in the tunnel talking to the team members and not to the other team. Walking by smelling sweat, and tenis shoes. Seasons come and go. but this season seems to stay with us no matter where we turn in our lives. Falling leaves land on the people walking by. carls is unfortunetly closed for the fall and winter. I turn around and look at the world that spins fast, and takes no times to stop and see how much everyone is alike. If for one minute the people would notice how wonderful FALL is then people may see eye to eye.
