Autumn pulls out the books of her crumbling locker, afraid of it all collapsing on her. Her locker was on the top and this was great considering her height. Her brunette hair falls to her face as she bends down to pick up her fallen pencil case. She places it on her books and begins to close her locker. She swivels around on her semi-high heels and walks away to her dreaded English class. As she passes the musty classrooms her eyes glaze over her reflection. Most people would see a light hazel-eyed girl looking back with bouncy curls defining her perfect face. Bu all she sees is a slightly crooked nose only noticeable with a protractor and one forming pimple which could be only spotted with a microscope. The flaws, in herself but the rest of the world sees her beauty, both in and out. Except for a group made with the most sinister monsters alive. Autumn's good sense of humour and her award-winning smile presents her as a friend her peers and a responsible individual to the teachers. She is known for her will to do what is …show more content…

Autumn thinks, while trying to bring blood circulation back into the arms that held those dreaded books, 'They should really stop printing the useless textbooks and just allow the online version. One, none of the teachers use them. Two, they weigh a tonne.' It is lunch and she finally gets to see Laura. She goes down to the cafeteria to collect her lunch. Autumn usually has to get school lunches because her parents are too busy. But she doesn't complain, she knows that they're doing it for her. Autumn has a tray of juicy glistening fried popcorn chicken with a small scoop of ketchup, a dollop of buttery mashed potato, a small clump of bright green peas and a chocolate chip cookie. She glances around the cafeteria and finds a table for the both of them. Autumn takes a seat and starts to nibble on her chicken, waiting for her best friend, who seemed to be taking the time of her

Witches, werewolves and vampires lived in secret, blending in with the humans on a daily basis - and the humans remained completely in the dark about their existence. It was after thousands of years of living this way, whilst everything was completely normal, that a small group of vampires decided that they’d had enough. They spent months devising plans.

I looked up at Gabriel from the grass. I never actually got to inspect the full extent of his features. His dark brown hair was tussled and looked as if he had been running his fingers through it from stress. His green eyes resembled emeralds. He had a bit of muscle on him, but he wasn’t too broad shouldered. You could see a small rose tattoo on his upper bicep. He wore a dark green t-shirt and jeans. He was definitely handsome, and all his features complimented each other.

She was late to lunch, like usual her teacher from the class before lunch wanted to speak with her. Usually she just wanted to speak with Rebecca about her grades or if she felt like she was doing okay in class. She stopped by the bathroom to freshen up. Rebecca stopped by the mirror, looking at her reflection, her deep brown eyes, short slicked up black hair, and the piercings on her lips and eyebrow. After splashing some water on her face and wiping the water off with a paper towel. Sighing contently, Rebecca turned around. Her eyes widened, her lips parting in shock. Falling to the floor, she inched away from the pale blue, or maybe white, could it be purple figure in front of her. Not only was the pigment of this figure alarming but the person in front of her had deep black holes for eyes and no legs, it wasn’t helping that she could see right past the

Eating different cuisines and trying new dishes at a variety of restaurants is an important hobby in Ashley’s life. In the future, Ashley hopes to go into the field of marketing or advertising, and hopefully specialize in food. But no matter what job she pursues, she hopes to have her own children (she is hoping for two) and a joyful family. The first thing she teaches her kids will be to always try new things and be accepting to the unknown. That is the one thing she regrets from her childhood. Not being more open-minded and unwilling to step out of her comfort zone. But despite this, her childhood has shaped who she is today.

Senior Picture Day Characterization
295 Words | 1 Pages
For my character discussion post I am going to talk about the main character from Senior Picture Day. The story may seem a cliché being about a young American girl who dislikes the way she looks but ultimately this is a very relatable topic for most young females today. Not to say that all girls hate the way they look but most people when asked can think of at least one thing about their body they would change. In the story the girl wants to change her nose which she says is “far from feminine and was broad.” The girl in the story compared her looks to other girls in her school and specifically her friend Terri. Over the years especially as a younger child I can remember looking at the other girls at school and wishing to be more like them

For once he listened to me and went off to get it. People were gathering around again. Watching everything unfold. I was next to the boy, crouched down on the ground to reach eye level with him. His eyes were a dark shade of red. The need to feed was killing him, literally. His eyes were full of shear terror. He hadn't the slightest clue what was going on.

I survey the scene as I wait for the others to arrive. The police were right, there isn’t any evidence of a break-in. The only real sign of anything amiss is the bloodstain on the cream carpet, the splatter on the walls. Stepping lightly, I move to the walls to study the photographs. Immediately, I notice something that forces a gasp past my lips.

Why The Creature That Opened My Eyes Of Frankenstein
1318 Words | 3 Pages
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time

When I finally reached my locker, I collapsed onto the floor. I sat on my knees, unlocked the metal door, and all but threw my things into it. Weighted with exhaustion, I pulled out all the supplies I would need for class before slamming the locker door, and rising to my feet. Just as I was about to turn down the hall, I was alerted by the sudden presence of another person standing in my way.

The squishy mud and damp grass slushed under my hurried steps as I ran deeper into the thick rainforest. Looking back, I could no longer see my small traditional village, but a dense overgrown growth of green foliage. Dusk was coming; the twilight sky seemed darker than usual, which caused a feeling of unease throughout my body, shivers ran up and down my spine. Thoughts rapidly darted in and out of my mind about how Karta had pushed me too far! Why?
