Fear the Power

“Goodbye boys, I’m going to the mall for about two hours, don’t get into any trouble when I’m gone!” My mom yelled as she slammed the door and went to the mall. She took my dad’s 1997 Chevy that would be just perfect for everything that she would buy there. And my dad was asleep on the couch after watching three hours of wrestling. Me and Johnny sat there bored out of our minds, two twelve-year-old boys with nothing to do. “ Hey, didn’t your parents just get that new 2001 Toyota Corolla that they hardly ever drive?” Johnny asked me. “ Ya, why?” I said with fear. “Well your dad is zonked out on the couch for at least an hour, and your mom just went to the mall for two hours, what more of a perfect chance will we ever get to take that baby for a spin around town for a while? I mean we play those racing games at the arcade all the time, how much different can it be? And it’s not really that much bigger than the go-carts at Fun Land, so come on, let’s do it!!!” I sat there wondering if he was serious or not, until I decided that it might not be that bad of an idea. …show more content…

I looked in front of me again and as soon as the light turned green I pushed the gas pedal to the floor and sped through the intersection running over a curb and driving straight into the park! We ran over a fence and some kid’s bike, right as I pushed down on the break, I ran over a teeter-totter and broke one half of it. Me and Johnny looked up just in time to see Johnny’s little sister go flying off of the teeter-totter and into a bunch of pine

    A gust of air audibly exited my lungs as I opened the creaky door of my mother’s beat up four door car. Charley didn’t have the same spring in his step that was present in his youth, but he did his best to run over and hop in. I wish he didn’t try so hard. My heart sank as he made vain attempts at pulling himself into the vehicle. I bent down and gave him a little assistance. He was quick to turn around and look at me anxiously. He never felt comfortable if I wasn’t sitting with him. I took my place in the back seat and slowly closed the door.

I saw my friend Kolin pull up in his rusted, broken-down gray van, and the side door opened as Mark jumped out and motioned for me to come. I was just about to get in when my mother called from the front doorway. She wanted to talk to me, but I didn't want to talk to her, so I hopped in pretending I hadn't heard her and told Kolin to drive off.

  • Impact of Mobile Phones on Students' Education

    1410 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some people argue that cell phones are helping them learn more, and are helping them to contact their family in emergencies because it is always with them and is fast. However, they do not realize that cell phones are not helping them learn. Students are not learning if they are using their phone in their class. When it comes to contacting family in emergencies, the student can use the teacher’s phone that is provided on the desk in case of emergency. Years ago, there was no technology like cell phones, but these days’ students cannot go anywhere without their cell phone because they are so addicted to it. Phones are just there to addict people and get their focus away from them. Overall, banning cell phones in high school and college is a really good decision.

Before I knew it I was out, I woke up about…an hour or so later. I looked out of the window the grass blowing in the wind, the sky as blue as a lake not a cloud in the sky. I sat up right “dad where are we going” the car stayed silent for a couple minutes then I heard the deep voice of my dad “where going to Spring Lake.” It sounded nice I thought hopefully there’s a lake and that’s not just the name of the park. “How long until we get there?” I heard the squeak of my mother’s high pitched voice “soon sweetheart, soon.” I decided I should sleep, since my parents hadn’t been helpful in telling me when we would be getting to Spring Lake. Another hour later I felt the lurch of the car and the seatbelt tighten around my waist, I sat up and stretched my arms, I noticed the car was parked and the engine of the car is off.
