Joshua Dun throws his arm lazily around aTyler's shoulder as they walk down the crowded street. People walk past stepping in puddles left over from the slight drizzle of rain that had fallen about a hour ago. The clouds were covering the sky like a dark grey veil, almost black. You may know Josh and Tyler as the 2 person band, Twenty One Pilots. Tyler and Josh are a group of cops that only work on, "special cases".…
Harper Wilson didn't like to be around anyone she had isolated herself from society because she was different from everyone else. Many say that when you look into her eyes you can see the blue ocean and that her hair was as dark as the night, long and beautiful. Harper was only seventeen years old with a double life she was a high school student in the morning and as the sun went down for the night she was a completely different person. Rumors say that she was drug addict others that she was constantly abused by her father; no one knew the truth of Harper's disappearance at night. Each day she had to rush out of school, everyone questioned themselves where could she possibly be going in such a rush?…
Once you’re born you only get one life, not everyone lives long enough to experience different things. Growing up I was told I wasn’t going to finish school, being told I won’t get nowhere in life without an education is heartbreaking. I was tired of the negativity so I came across this program called “Fresh Start” ran by Penn foster. I bet you’re wondering how I got into the program and what I’ve been through to get where I am now once you continue reading you’ll find out why. Everything happen back on 2009 October 26 to be exact.…

As I walk into the eating establishment there are only two employees, a girl named Lilly, and a guy named Jason, both who are very quiet because I soon as I walked in I hear dead silence is seen except for when they are talking about making order or drinks. But also, when I walked in Lilly was mopping the floor, while Jason stayed behind the counter and took care of orders. But when I walked in, she immediately stopped what part of the area she was mopping and took my order. A guy comes in named Mr.Brown, who isn’t in a uniform and automatically says to Jason, “I’ve been banging on the door dude.”…
It has been eight years since I last visited Glen Ellen Farm, but it is as fresh in my mind as if I was there yesterday. I always referred to Glen Ellen as my Aunt Debbie’s farm, but I eventually learned there is a long history with this place. An engineer for the B&O Railroad line originally built and owned the property in the 1850s. In 1874, the property was sold to Professor Herbert Thompson and his wife, Lady Ellen Thompson, who were from London. It was four years later when he and his wife opened Glen Ellen Academy at the manor house.…
How can I ever forget about that day, it marked me so deep into my veins and it was written all over in papers.. It was one sunday afternoon and as I exit the parking lot into the building were the store I worked was located I felt this warm feeling rolling round and round not only in my belly but in my head.. The smell of cannabis drowned the whole building it was insanely gross. I speed walked as I covered my nose with my long sleeve shirt.…
The spotlight is in my eyes. The hubbub dies down to an anticipatory, judgmental silence, daring me to break it. I look back, making sure the band is ready. Thumbs up: it’s time to roll. I tap my foot to the rhythm.…
Lacy Blue's brother, Austin Blue, has tried to keep her on a tight rein.

Everyone has a different hero and different views on what makes someone a hero. Some people view heroes as characters in movies or comic books that fly and wear capes, but not me. Being 6'11 with fiery red hair and only half a left, Kevin Laue is my hero. I had the opportunity to meet Kevin last Saturday at a student council convention at Vandebilt.…
After the game, Jessica’s dad ran over to the girls and congratulated them with hugs and high fives. “Awesome game girls, let's sit in the shade and get some fluids.” Amanda and Jessica followed him to a shady spot near the tree and stripped off their socks and shoes. They knew better than to run around in the sun and heat when they had three more games ahead of them, and they definitely knew that they shouldn’t argue with their coach. Their hour break was flew by; the girls lounged in the shade and shared headphones.…

The Onion in Me People have a tendency to look remarkably like their pets. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t look much like Onion; her round blue eyes, stubby legs, and short squished snout are all but alien to my own features. On the outside, I bear practically no resemblance to my feline friend. Yet on the inside I hope that I look even remotely as beautiful as she does. Onion was only 2 months old, a furry ball of snow, vulnerable and fragile in the arms of a giant.…
“And the ones who are on the team are Katie, Ava, Ella, Lily, Emma, Bella, Ashley, Nicole, Jenna, Maddie, and Olivia.”. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the best day, it was the most amazing day. It was the day that I, Olivia Davis, made the varsity soccer team. I was so excited!…
Imagine you’re worst fear come to life and the only way to get rid of a burden this big is for you to face it, face your fears. But how could you even remotely come close to achieving this goal when your hands are shaking, palms are sweating and you’re whole body feels like it’s going to shut down in a matter of seconds. That was me on June 17th, 2014 the last day of 8th grade. Preparing for this day was one of the toughest most challenging things I had to do in my life. Every year on the last day of school the 8th grade choir would sing “Lean on me” by Bill Withers at the end of the year assembly.…
