Remember how I have to sit next to Jake, for the rest of the semester?
Yeah, that's right. I'm dreading about it now. I feel like constantly banging my head against the wall or something.
I don't exactly have feelings for Jake anymore; he broke my heart, whether he intended to or not. He toyed with my feelings, just for Roxanne and for her own, little entertainment- that stupid bet.
You know; that makes me wonder. Roxanne parents are actually really friendly, and sweet- but what happened to their child?
I shake my head, to stop thinking about useless things.
When I look around in the classroom, I notice how Jake isn't here yet. I let out a sigh of relief, and take a seat on my usual spot.
I know, how it isn't me, who made the mistake. It's him. But, I can't stop thinking about how awkward it might be, to talk to him normally.
When the bell rings, everyone pours into the classroom and begin filling up the empty seats. Then, Mr. Thompson, our Maths teacher enters, and starts checking our attendance.
"Natasha Robinson."
"Here."
"Jake Roberts."
There's a silence; because, Jake isn't here yet.
"Roxanne Mccoll."
There's a pause again. Roxanne isn't here yet, either.
Everyone murmurs something at once, that all the words sound inaudible to me.
"Silence, class!" Mr. Thompson bellows.
Then he continues, "We shall proceed our lesson, without Mr. Roberts and Miss. Mccoll."
I stare at the empty seat next to me. Well, I'm thinking; what's going on?
Mr.Thompson continues to babble about the Maths questions, which were unable to be solved last class. I begin resting my chin on my left hand, feeling like I'm sent off to sleep.
Suddenly, I hear someone barging into the classroom.
It's Jake.
With Roxanne, his 'dearest' girlfrie...
... middle of paper ...
...and you've became-"
I swiftly shove some food into his mouth, and fib, "Oh, he's just saying how I'm famous, for being friends with Roxanne."
I laugh nervously, as I'm not the best liar.
When Scott opens his mouth to talk, I mouth to him, "Shut up, Scott."

"Honey, come on! Try on this dress," my mom says.
"But, mom I don't see a point of 'impressing' dad's business partner," I groan.
Okay, this is what's happening; mom told me that dad's business partner wanted to invite our family for a dinner, with their family. Now, she's forcing me to try on a dress.
It's a short sleeved navy coloured dress, with white peter pan collars. It's pretty formal, but I don't see a reason why I should wear a dress- it's so uncomfortable!
"Come on, it's not that hard," she repeats.
"Fine," I finally give in. I fit myself into the dress, and my mom zips it up from behind.
Again Jake plays the role of the hero is when he saves young Culver from becoming utterl...

I'm ready” I said with wearing my second favorite dress. A very simple one in fact, it was made of cotton and polyester, I thought it was such a pretty and simple dress. or so I thought. I didn't know what was wrong with dress. It wasn't to tight but when I went out to show my mom and dad they stood there gawking like there was a ghost behind me.
I visited Mrs. Cable’s kindergarten classroom at Conewago elementary school one afternoon and observed a math lesson. Mrs. Cable had an attention-grabbing lesson and did many great things in the thirty minutes I observed her. I have my own personal preferences, just like every teacher, and I do have a few things I would do differently. There are also many ways this observation can be related to the material discussed in First Year Seminar.
We all talked with each other and helped each other. Mrs. Janasky walked to the front of the class at the end of the 20 minutes and writes the answers on the board. I look at the board and check my answers.
First of firsts, what to wear. You keep asking yourself, “Does this make me look fat? Is this color all wrong? Where is the skirt I was going to wear?” Nothing is clean. Nothing looks right. You have ten minutes until you need to be ready to go and you’re running around in your underwear like a chicken with its head cut off. Aaaah! Finally you give up and put on your favorite pair of bedraggled jeans and a solid color T-shirt. Now that you’re dressed you start to calm down, only to turn your thoughts to the next major stress of the evening, the stress on your wallet.
“You don’t know me.” My voice sounded as unsteady as his stance. He shrugged as he chuckled; the laughter turned my blood cold. He seemed to know something I did not.
This would mark day number one of classes. I was not alone as I realized the other number of students were just like me, alone and disordered. The school resembled my old high school, with long hallways and multiple classroom doors, which reminded me that I had no clue where I was going. I figured I would have this problem so I had printed my schedule out the night before to use as an atlas to navigate me toward my multiple destinations for the day. All my prior preparations for this day of classes seemed to be failing me already. While I frantically screened for the right door number and avoided the glares from the upper classmen to hide my embarrassment, I had finally arrived at my first class, Chemistry
“Look she’s going to room 22B, our math room!”Delaney exclaimed as we peered around a corner at her. She was knocking on the
When you are born people are there to take care of you, love you, and guide you through life. As you grow up and life changes, you must take charge of your own life and not become so dependent on others. Throughout the course of life a person will encounter many changes, whether good or bad. In 'A&P';, 'The Secret Lion';, and 'A Rose for Emily';, the main characters in the stories are Sammy, the boys, and Miss Emily who face changes during their lives. All of these characters are in need of change. Because of their need for change, their lives will become much better. They are filled with wonder and awe about the world around them. No matter what type of person, everyone will encounter changes. It is part of the natural process. A person is encouraged to make these changes for the good. Sammy, the boys, and Miss Emily all encounter changes in their lives that fulfill their need to become something different.
Your hand quivers as you fill in the ‘c’ bubble. You hesitate, realizing there’s no way they would have put so many ‘c’s in a row. An anxious shudder thunders across your skin, leaving yet another trail of goosebumps in its wake. The next three questions seem to be of an entirely different language and you eventually fill them in with a random assortment of ‘a’s and ‘b’s. This trend continues throughout the morning as you answer endless questions about genetic variations and the application of trigonometric ratios. By the time you are dismissed, you are a nervous wreck. Lunch passes in a daze, your mind locked on the rest of the tests you have ahead of you for the afternoon.
According to Witkavitch (2010) life is about change and as human beings we’re always changing, growing, transforming and transitioning our lives. Our whole life is made up of change. It is relative to time and a natural component of our everyday life. Things change, they grow, they develop, they die, and something else shows up. There are many changes that can occur during a person’s lifetime. For instance, we all were once kids who changed into adults. With that said, as we age, dreams change. There will always be something new in life and we can’t expect everything to fall in place as we wish because the future is constantly changing. In the age of globalization, information and communication revolution changes are affecting our lifestyles, our ways of thinking, feelings and the way we act. Life changes everyday for a person in some way. Just like we expect the seasons to change and children to grow older. Some changes are very small and can affect your life in an enormous way. However, other events can be very important and could change your whole life such as getting married, getting arrested, having a baby, and even losing a close friend or relative. The important events that altered my life are coming the United States, playing club soccer, becoming a U.S. citizen, going to graduate school and studying abroad. In this in paper, I will discuss how these phases transformed my life physically and mentally.

I wish that I wasn’t so naive because Brandon had stopped talking to me and was ignoring me two weeks after we started dating. I was crushed because I was in love, I had thought that he didn’t want to be with me any more. When he said that we needed to talk, he asked me what my problem was, so I had told him that he was ignoring me. Brandon said, “I didn’t realize that I was,” he apologized, for a few months’ things were
After the bell rings, there will be a bell ringer on the board every day for students to complete. Bell ringers are to be done inside of a composition notebook
