Inside, I was smoldering, and for a moment, everything felt...RED! The windshield wipers squeaked as they whipped furiously back and forth. The sound was almost obnoxious though right now almost everything seemed irritating. Firmly gripping the steering wheel, my knuckles turned white as I swung around a bend. Today, in the second week of the senior year, had felt like the worst day of my life. Just forget about it, Jared, I ordered myself. Stop thinking about it and concentrate on driving. But right now, what was there to focus on, all there was in front of me was a wet, long road that bore the appearance of polished obsidian. That, and trees. Most people thought the tall, emerald pine trees that guarded the town of East Bay were comforting. But to me, they felt suffocating, fear-inducing. As majestic and handsome as they were, I often thought the branches looked like they were grinning at me with a knowing secret. An ominous superiority. Like they were hiding something sinister, deep within their depths. Shifting gears, I accelterated forward, keeping my eyes trained on the horizon. However, the horizon was now becoming more and more indistinct. It was then, I started to feel a wave of drowsiness. My heart was still thumping in my chest but it gradually starting to slow. The sheeting rain looked like it was beginning to merge …show more content…
The scene was wild, and too crowded. Feeling slightly claustrobic, I fought my way through the chaos in pursuit of an empty room to ease my anxiety. Climbing the stairs, I hastily turned right, once I reached the top, and twisted the nearst doorknob. But when I pushed open the door, I didn't find the safe haven I had been expecting. Instead, I found Leena, lying in bed with what looked like a college-age guy. So many emotions raced through my mind at once: surprise, rage, sorrow, betrayal. But at that moment, all I could think to do was to take
On that note, I shifted my truck into reverse and vacated the parking lot of the college I was dual-enrolled at. The thirty minute ride to my high school could not be over soon enough, as my destiny for the upcoming summer was at stake. The multitude of emotions I experienced on the seemingly endless car ride overcame me as my speedometer pushed the speed limit. Feelings of nervousness, excitement, optimism, courage, and anxiety crept into my mind.
A thick plume of black smoke and ash hung in the air in a heavy haze, almost completely obscuring the lurid red glow of the waning sun. Below, a cloud of grey plaster dust twisted and writhed amid the sea of debris as intermittent eddies of wind gusted by.
Cherry is a very different soc because she loves watching sunsets just like Ponyboy. Throughout the story, Cherry’s simple life had been through many turns. She became friends with some greasers, her boyfriend, Bob gets killed by Johnny, she became a spy for the greasers, and her greaser friend, Johnny had died. She’d been so through so much, but she treats greasers and socs equally because she sees no difference in them.
I could feel the weight of the car on my hand and then it would go away. It would feel like holding a feather. The nerves didn’t know how to respond to the pain that was created. My conscience was fading. Two lights coming at you with speed.
White puffy clouds, in a big blue sky. So, now that I knew what the beautiful color was, I went back in the wondrous memory. As I was enjoying the bright blue sky, there was a crash, and screech noise, so loud, shrieking, piercing my ears. Oh, the pain there was, objects moving everywhere, I didn’t know where to look.
I was caught off guard. I began to break a sweat and feel sick to my stomach. My hands tensed around the steering wheel, as I swallowed hard.
“Let’s go for a jog!” I said in excitement. “Don’t fall behind because I had gym today, so my feet are screaming to run again,” Alex jokes. “Then let’s go to the trail before it gets dark,” said Lilly. “On your marks, get set, GO!”
The piercing blare of the alarm clock was enough to wake the dead. Nicholas jolts out of his slumber, his face inches away from the source of the noise. Groggily, he lifts a hand to smack the snooze button, but in doing so misses, the clock tumbling off the nightstand. It clatters to the hardwood floor, skidding a few feet before it is stopped by its own power cord. That it was still intact after its fall was a testament to the sadism of the person who'd created it.
Sasuke sat up from sweat dampened covers and dry heaved. Annoying sheets and dark hair stuck to his body and face. After throwing up earlier that night he felt a little better, but clearly even that wasn't helping with sweating, nausea, and the shivers. Sasuke groaned as he turned over to look at the alarm clock that showed a blurry 3:26 am. "Go to bed he said, you'll feel better once you wake up he said.
But, it's so tempting, why get a little when I could get a lot? I weave back and forth picking up speed need to go one direction or the other. Left lane. Right lane. Left lane.
There I was sitting at the coffee shop on the corner of First Street and Washington. It was a rainy and gloomy day, but I was beyond excited to get the inside scoop as to what began the Sunday at Noon journey. As I was sitting there with two coffees on the table a man approached me. To me he looked in his twenties but when he spoke I was taken back the man exclaimed, “Is that for me?” drawn back, I didn’t recognize him but the comical man that approached me was Jack Vanderpol!
Impatiently I was waiting, feeling more nervous by the second. However I forced myself to wait for the last ride to finish. ‘Oh wow!’ It is one of the tallest rides possible, as I looked up to the highest part of the ride my neck started to ache! I waited and waited becoming more and more anxious each second that went by.
My surroundings all of a sudden seemed ominously quiet. Something wasn’t
It was a hot morning in Yakima when I put the last backpack in the car. I sigh,“And we are done!” I walk into my house and pat my husband, Dave, on the back, “Ready to go?” I ask him. “Yes,” he looks up at me, “I know you love going on road trips Janis, but do we really need to go on them every other month?”
“It looks like the weather’s turning,” my dad started to say, but his sentence was whipped away by a gust of wind. Without warning, a gush of water came thundering into the boat. I took a deep breath, braced myself against the stiff breeze and tried to hold on to the side of the boat, gasping from the shock of the wave and the icy
