Quinton noticed that the air was getting colder. His flannel camisa, camiseta was no longer keeping him warm. He shivered in the cold. His beloved dog, Fortune, snuggled close to him, trying to keep him warm. He dicho to her, "Fortune, I need someone to find me soon." He let her off the lead and said, "Go! Go, Fortune!" She ran off to find help. Quinton waited and waited. He soon saw Fortune with Sasha running close behind. Quinton had never seen a sweeter sight. Sasha said, "Quinton, your parents and I have been looking all over for you. Are tu all right?" He said, "No, I'm not." He told her everything...

Some time passed, and Quinton formed a strong bond with his new puppy, Fortune. One day, he was taking her for a walk. For some reason, T-Rex and his gang happened to be in the neighborhood. T-Rex said, "Hey, look, it's Quinton and Freak Dog!" Quinton said, "My dog has a name, T-Rex, and her name is Fortune!" One of T-Rex's followers said, "It's only fitting that a freak has a dog who is also a freak." Quinton said, "Fortune is not a freak. She happens to be an amazing dog!" T-Rex just mocked Quinton. Quinton tried to walk away, but T-Rex tripped him. Quinton tried to get up, but T-Rex's gang...

After thinking of a name for his new puppy, Quinton finally settled on Fortune, because he believed she was fortunate that he found her. The siguiente day, Sasha paid him a visit. She asked, "What did tu name your puppy?" He said, "I named her Fortune." Sasha said, "That's an appropriate name for her. After being abused por the neighborhood kids, she is in a loving home." Quinton said, "That's right. I don't understand why they think it's okay to abuse someone for having multicolored eyes." After taking his new found friend for a walk, Quinton was content. He enjoyed having a dog in his life again....

Down on his knees, Quinton reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of beef jerky to coax the perrito, cachorro close to him. She limped up to him and ate the beef jerky.

The perrito, cachorro allowed Quinton and Sasha to pet her. Sasha said, "Look at her eyes. It's like they have blue, amber, and green mixed in." Quinton said, "She must be part Husky. The multicolored eyes in a Husky is known as parti-colored. I once owned a Husky. Her name was Luna. She had eyes...

The siguiente morning, John had fixed breakfast. Grace told him, "You really know your way around the kitchen, John." He said, "Well, when tu grow up with a mother who won't cook, tu have to learn to do it yourself." Grace felt sympathy for John. Poor John! she thought. He really did have a rough life. After breakfast, John drove Grace back home. During the ride, she said, "John, my uncle told me that after I graduate high school, I might not ever see some of my friends again. Was this true for you?" John said, "I wish I could say no. I had a pretty good circulo, círculo of friends in high school, but I...

When Grace came to, she looked at her surroundings. She was lying on a couch, and she saw her knight in shining armor, John. He said, "It's good that you're awake, Grace. Are tu okay?" She said, "I think so." He asked, "What are tu doing in Portland? Why aren't tu in Salem?" She said, "I went for a bike ride to clear my head, and I was so lost in thought, and I didn't realize where I was going until I saw a sign that indicated I was in Portland. It was so dark, and I got scared por a shadowy figure. I peddled as fast as I could, and I made it here. I'm glad to know I found you." John said,...

After finishing her homework late in the afternoon that Friday, Grace decided to go for a bike ride. Her aunt asked, "Where are tu going, dear?" Grace said, "I'm just going for a bike ride to clear my head. That's all." Her aunt said, "All right. Be back in time for dinner, okay?" Grace said, "Okay." She went on, thinking about the day's event. It had been quite a rough día for poor Grace. She and her friend, Sabrina, talked about doubling up. Grace remembered what Sabrina had dicho to her. "If tu don't double up with me, I won't be your friend anymore." This hurt Grace deeply. Why is that...

When Grace went into her house, her aunt and uncle were waiting on her. Her aunt asked, "Did tu have a good day, dear?" Grace said, "Yes. I just found out that for the coming school year, I could double up and graduate early." Her uncle said, "Really?" She said, "Yes, and I'm considering it." Her aunt asked, "Grace, are tu sure tu want to do this?" Grace said, "Yeah." Her uncle said, "Eleventh grade is going to be your hardest año academically. If tu combine tu twelfth grade año along with it, that might make it even harder." She said, "I'm willing to face the challenge." Her aunt said,...

Grace was just finishing her segundo año of high school. She enjoyed the experience for the most part. Although some of her friends had moved away within the last year, she still had a few good friends left. Later, she learned that for her third año of high school, she could double up and graduate early. She dicho to herself, "It might not be such a bad idea." Later, she talked with her friend, Michael. She said, "I'm thinking about doubling up for the coming school year." He asked, "Why would tu want to do that?" I said, "Well, I get to graduate early if I do." He said, "The eleventh grade...

It was time to start school once again. I would be starting the seventh grade. After school, I immediately went jogging with my puppy, Redford and my friend, Brian. Unfortunately, Brian scared me at one point. He dicho to me, "Aubrey, we need to stop." I asked, "Why? What's wrong?" He said, "I feel light-headed." He then collapsed at my feet in a dead faint. Redford and I stayed close to Brian. I was prepared to let Redford off the lead to find help. Fortunately, after about thirty seconds, Brian came to. He asked, "What just happened?" I said, "You fainted. Are tu okay?" He said, "I don't...

One day, I went jogging with my dog, Redford. As we were jogging, I tripped and fell. As I fell, my ankle made a horrible cracking sound. It sound like the snapping of a árbol branch breaking. I didn't try to get up at first. As I was lying there, Redford licked my face. I was still holding the lead, and he didn't offer to slip out of his collar and run off. I only had Redford for a few weeks, and he was already strongly bonded to me. I tried to get up, but my ankle was really hurting. Reluctantly, I let Redford off of the lead and said, "Go get help!" He took off. I sat there and held my throbbing...

I went on the Internet and found a dog breed selector. It had a series of preguntas regarding what I was looking for in a dog. The final results led me to a breed. It was the Siberian Husky, simply called Siberian o Husky. I read about it, and I really liked the description. I talked with my parents about it. One day, I heard my parents talking. My father said, "Aubrey has been wishing she had a jogging companion." My mother said, "Yes, and the Siberian Husky is good for that." One morning, my parents woke me up. They said, "Come on. We're going on a trip." I asked, "Where are we going?" My...

One day, I almost picked up a pair of scissors to cut myself with. My father hid the pocket cuchillo from me. I then saw my guitar. As I was strumming, a few words began to pop into my head. I got a notebook I wasn't using otherwise and a pen, and I wrote some words down. They were very sad, but they seemed to give me some comfort. Just then, my mother came into my bedroom and said, "Aubrey, your friends are here." I came downstairs, and my friends Chelsea, Sam, and Brian were standing at the door. I said, "Hi, guys. What brings your here?" Chelsea said, "We're going to the mall. My mother is...

In the months after Jim's untimely death, I remained very sad. Jim and I used to enjoy jogging together. I still enjoyed jogging, but it got lonely doing it alone. None of my other friends were interested in that. The bullying really picked up. My remaining friends would stand up for me, but that didn't stop the bullies from bullying me. Sometimes they would beat me. Many times, I would pretend I needed to use the restroom so that I could be alone to cry. One day, when I was sitting at home, I saw a pocket knife. I honestly don't know what I was thinking, if I was thinking at all, but I began...

Jim and I were two kids growing up in the foothills of North Carolina. We were the best of friends. We did everything together. We even had numerous inside jokes. We very seldom disagreed. When we did, it was always over something stupid. In the end, we would always make up and laugh about how ridiculous we were. Jim and I loved each other in a way that only best friends could. We even had the same birthday. We never thought that we would ever separate, but one day, we did. One day, when we were only twelve, we were riding the bus to go home. Suddenly, the bus slipped on a patch of ice. The...

The members of New Religion went to the recording studio to record a humorous song that Erin had written. Lola said, "I admire that tu were able to keep your humor, despite being injured." Erin said, "Sometimes bad things happen, and there's nothing tu can do about it." Paul said, "That's true. I feel silly for suggesting we leave Miami." Carl said, "Don't feel silly, Paul. Oak Ridge is safer in terms of crime. Besides, no place is one hundred percent safe." Erin said, "Carl's right. Living in fear of bad things happening is the worst way to live. If you're living that way, you're really...
