He opened it. It was a gold cherry blossom pin. David smirked; Nina’s favorite tree has always been the cherry blossom tree. He looked at her and smiled. She grinned shyly. “When you get your varsity jacket pin it on the left side.” David had a curious look on his face. “Why on the left side?” “That's where the heart is.” Nina put it on at once. When David laid eyes on her, he laughed. “What’s so funny?” Nina asked. He shrugged, “It’s so big on you!” Austin and Mason were astonished- this was the first time they had ever seen David Anderson actually laugh. “Oh yeah! Nina, I’d like you to meet my friends, Austin Steel and Mason Russo. Guys, this is Nina Young.” The girl smiled at them. Austin flashed his cheeky grin, “Hiya Nina.” Mason just nodded, but Nina understood. David was like that too.. Mason figured Nina must have quite been something to gain the respect of David. Finally, the four teens headed to first period. The classroom door was closed but no one made an effort to knock. The door swung open, revealing a white-haired man. “You’re…?” he spoke. “I’m Nina Young.” she replied apprehensively. “Oh! Becky told me there would be a student returning from Japan today! Great timing! Come on in you four, take your seats. The girl was surprised at how lenient this man was. The two boys headed to their desk but Nina remained at the door still clutched David’s hand. “It’ll be okay.” he whispered, letting her go. “So, Miss Young, welcome to Bayview High. I am Mr. Ramond, your AP Human Geography teacher. Would you like to tell the class where you’ve been these past two years?” Nina nodded, slightly embarrassed. She headed to the front of the class practically half wet and wearing David’s jacket that spelled out his last name on the... ... middle of paper ... ...d you too, Nina.” She rolled off him. They sat next to each other. “What a surprise.” An annoying voice interrupted. Adam and his goons walked up. David got up, helping Nina do the same. He glared at Adam. “What’s that supposed to mean?” The other boy faked a look of shock. “Well, it isn’t every day you get to see David Anderson beaten by a girl. That’s sets a whole new low, even for you.” Nina stepped between the pair. “I hope you don't mean what I think you do.” she growled. Her eyes were flickered with a fire that David knew and feared. Nina was pissed- really pissed. “You mean that I think girls are weak things, and men are better?” he paused, considering what he'd just said. “Well, most men.” glancing at David. Poor Adam,he had no idea what he just got himself into. Nina smiled a wicked smile, one that sent shivers down David's spine. “Care to test the theory?
“Jackson. If a group of boys were beating up a friend of yours, maybe Jake or Zach, what would you do?”
Suddenly, I recognized the building. Just last week, I had visited the exact same campus. My eyes explored the hall in front of me for the second time. It’s Early College High School, I realized. This school is extremely academically orientated, I recalled.
“Hey, you!” said a voice far down in the hallway. “So you’re the new girl, huh?”
Silent Spring is one of the most important books of the environmental movement. It was one of the first scientific books to talk about destruction of habitat by humans. As a result, one can imagine that Ms. Rachel Carson needed to be quite persuasive. How does she achieve this? In this excerpt from Silent Spring, Carson utilizes the rhetorical devices of hyperbole, understatement, and rhetorical questions to state the necessity of abolishing the practice of using poisons such as parathion. Carson starts out by using the symbiotic nature of hyperbole and understatement to paint the whole practice as dangerous and unnecessary. She further strengthens her argument by using rhetorical questions to make her readers see the ethical flaws and potential casualties caused by deadly pesticides.
"Me too." She replied, tears still running down her face. For a few seconds they just stood there, accross the room from one another, staring at each other through the sparks and small fires. Then she started walking toward him, saying, "Oh what the hell, we're gonna die anyway."
It wasn't a typical Friday for Josh, the curly haired sophomore. He was just finishing shoving his backpack in his locker when his friend, Taylor, came up to him and said their goodbyes. As the principal told all the students to go outside for announcements over the intercom, Josh left through the back door to be alone instead. He did not tend to have good friends and if he did, they didn't stick with him very long.
Opening the door of the school and exiting, an odd looking man approached Jimmy. "Please, come with me Jimmy" the man said. Quite worried, Jimmy began to walk at a faster pace to get away.

He makes movement that I can only explain as trying to swim when there is no water. My eyes return to Cleo’s beautiful gentle eyes, and I resume our previous topic of conversation. “You said you wanted to be a teacher. Past tense. Why don’t you now?”
“Not waiting!” I said, giggling to myself as I rushed to the door that lead to the high school hallway. I opened the door and fled inside, Delany managed to catch up to me. Coach Elder was way ahead of us, heading towards the middle school.
"Don't be afraid of me Michael, my priority is your safety. David and I are together in this plot to safe your life, so don't look at me that way." My eyes have turned watery, for a moment I thought that I was on danger grown with the enemy. But he touched my chin and convince me that he will never hurt me.
They flip their hair behind their left shoulder and walk towards Signe. Sean puts his head down and heads to class.
After reaching the school building, David struggled with the door, and found his way inside; the crowd immediately swallowed him up, before Susan could catch up and start to walk beside him. She then gave up, after his friends, Jeff and Mark joined him at his side. After she had been pushed into her homeroom, number 117, she had two minutes to wait for class to start and sat uncomfortably at her seat, rummaging through her purse, for a lack of something better to do.
