4/1/12 Dear Diary~ July 23, 1942 Today was a very intense day for me. I can't begin to explain the situation I was put into. Myself and my younger brother Joey were playing when we were supposed to be working near our barn this morning when I thought I heard a cry. I ignored it, but it kept coming back.

Brothers in a Brutal Bind I was dead silent, the sounds of sirens grew louder and louder as police cars got closer and closer. My friends and I had been ill-advised enough to vandalize the local middle school which had expelled Clark, DeVante, and I. We wanted to show how we felt about all the rules and restrictions of school. Until, all of a sudden, right as I started to shake my can, a security guard walked out of the office and stared right into my eyes. We ran! Over tables, through classrooms

You know you’ve all crept on your ex just to make sure you are doing better than they are, so don’t pretend like you are above it. But seriously, there are psychological facts that back up the “crazy” nature that comes with a breakup, and here are some of my reasons I don’t believe in the term crazy ex-girlfriend, considering pretty

The adults were laughing softly watching them. A small smile spread across my face. Everyone was so happy and peaceful. Except for me. I had been here for almost 1 hour waiting for my best friend, Chloe to show up. We were supposed to go shopping. It was taking her forever. I was now starting to have doubts that

People have always said that I am a daredevil. I try to think that I am, and I am with some things...Such as trying new foods. When I was 6, I thought that I was the bravest person ever, but in the back of my head I knew that there was some fear. At that time I didn’t really know what I was afraid of. Until one day, when I went to a waterpark. I've always and still love waterparks. The ziplines, lazy rivers, and waterslides. All of those things appeal to me. When I was six, I was invited to a birthday
