DEADLY MISTAKE
My mother’s loud yell was what got me up.
“Siren! Get up I want you to come help me today!” my mother yell from the sitting room.
“I’m tired” I said softly as I moved out my legs from the warm blankets while I struggled to crack my eyelids open.
DEBATE COMPETITIONAfter Mesmick’s death I spent my days doing nothing except doing a lot of thinking, helping Apple prepare for the Local debate competition and helping my mother at the Rush’s drying and washing store.I suddenly heard a knock on my door as I slowly moved my eyes away from the ceiling I had been staring at for hours.

SUMMER TROUBLESI slowly walked down the dark hallway. Mesmick suddenly emerged from the shadows running pass me.“Mesmick!” I yelled but he didn’t stop running.The hallway got narrower and narrower until I could no longer see him. Suddenly a loud baby cry shot up from nowhere rapidly taking me back to
MORE SECRETSI sat on the washing machine while I secretly watched my mother who was folding some clothes inside the huge red basket. She hadn’t said a word to me after what had happened last night.
