Afternoon Delight
The grill was smoking, the sun was beaming, and the beers were flowing down their throats like the river banks into the Atlantic. Yeah, I’d say it was a pretty good spring afternoon. It had been raining the past week and a half, and many of the houses around the tri-state area had flooding. It was mid-March and my spring break had already begun. Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name is Will Allen and I go to Don Bosco Prep High School. Anyway, the night before me and a bunch of my friends had a party at our friend Lucien’s house. We had spent the night drinking, dancing, and uhhhh…. let me put it to you in PG terms, fraternizing with some girls.
I woke up at around 9am, I guess I had passed out because I was downstairs in the basement on his couch with all my clothes still on. I was woken up by the ringing of my phone. It was my mother who had called; I hate it when she calls! I’m not saying I hate her, but whenever a mother calls they always have bad news or a reminder of some sort that you wish you could just forget about.
“Will, where are you?” She had said to me.
“I’m at my friend’s house, I slept here last night. I was too tired to drive home.”
“Don’t you have class today?”
“No remember, I’m on spring break.” I told her in a bit of an annoyed manner. Oh, and by the way my voice was so “shot” and raspy from all the drinking and talking last night that it made this phone call even more unpleasant; I had to keep clearing my throat after every sentence.
“Oh. Well don’t forget you have the dentist at 2 o’clock.” She reminded me.
Son of a bitch I hate the dentist, all the day there is make you wait, hurt my teeth and gums, make me bleed, and give me lectures about oral hygiene. There’s nothing I hate more than getting lectured. I just nod my head in agreement, but in reality whatever they’re saying to me is going in one ear and right out the other. Like who needs flossing anyway?
“Mom, what the hell, it’s my spring break I don’t want to go to the dentist, call them and cancel”
“No, Will. If you don’t cancel within 24 hours they charge me 50 bucks.”
Well it’s not my money what do I care, I think to myself. “Fine, I’ll go, goodbye.”

Dialouge
Abr. "Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"
Sam. "I do bite my thumb, sir. "
Abr." Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"
Sam. "Is the law of our side, if I say ay?"
Gre. " No. Sam. No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir. " Gre. "Do you quarrel, sir?"
Abr. Quarrel, sir! no, sir.
Sam. If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you.
Abr. No better.
Sam. Well, sir. Gre. Say “better”: here comes one of my master’s kinsmen. Sam. Yes, better, sir.
Abr. You lie. Sam. Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow.
This passage is humorous in the way you can feel the tension building. I liked the little aside to Gregory asking about the law.
My own dialouge
“I can’t Babe you know that. In a couple of years I’ll have more money than you can imagine, I just got to work my way to the top.”
“I hate that lifestyle Billy, I have to worry every night what your doing or who your with. Do you know how hard it is to sleep when all your thinking about is the person you love being shot or arrested over something as stupid as drugs.”
“Well those stupid drugs paid for that gold necklace you have on right now did it not?” Billy was referring to the gold played necklace he had bought her for her birthday, it was shiny looking necklace, and Billy could see himself in the reflection of it. The necklace spelt out her name Maria in script, and Billy had put a little heart of the “I” in her name.
“I just want us to get out of here out of the ghetto; do you want our children to grow up here?” “Children, what children, I’m not having any children.” Billy said with a baffled face.
“O shut up, you know you want me to have your children.”
Billy smiling said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m never having kids ever!” “Whatever Billy you can be such an ass.”
“You know I’m jus joking, give me a kiss Babe.”
Sam. "I do bite my thumb, sir. "
Abr." Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"
Sam. "Is the law of our side, if I say ay?"
Gre. " No. Sam. No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir. " Gre. "Do you quarrel, sir?"
Abr. Quarrel, sir! no, sir.

@nd short story
“Dance with the Devil”By: Danny Pozo
Billy hid behind the green garbage bin, which had been filled with all the old burgers, fries and the rest of the rotten smelling trash. Billy wanted some extra cash on him, so he knew this would be the easiest way to come about it. He waited until the right car rolled up, it was still midday but around these parts crime was as common as a rain shower, then he noticed a young black man pulling up to the drive-thru menu in a new blue BMW 745. Billy had a little smirk on his face, “I got this fool.” Billy said to himself. He came out from behind the bin with a 22. Caliber in his hand, he crouched sneakily towards the passenger seat to not be seen by the driver. He gets up to the door and swings it open and closes it just as fast. “Give me all your fucking money or ill shoot the shit out of you!” The driver who must’ve been no older than 22 was in complete shock, not a peep came out of his mouth. “Did you hear me I said give me all your fucking money,” Billy said while holding the freshly polished silver gun in the young mans face. “Alright man don’t shoot, Ill give it to you.” The kid having his window down, had been overheard by the employee through the drive-thru speaker, she must have not been able to hear their conversation but was able to hear voices coming through. “Welcome to McDonalds can I take your order?” Billy saw this as another opportunity to have some more fun. “Get me a double burger with cheese.” “What?’ said the young man. “I said get me a freaking double burger with cheese, and I’m not joking.” “Can ummm I get a double burger.” “I said with cheese bitch.” “Sorry, I meant can I get a double burger with cheese.” “Ok sir drive up please.” They drive up to receive the food and after Billy received his food, he takes all of the young mans money. “I know where your from now, I saw your license if you tell anyone about this Ill find you and kill you.” Billy runs out the car and back home, but now about 400 dollars wealthier.

Sentence Monday
1. Is it still raining? When did i move to seattle?
2. Why does everyone hate Mondays so much?
C. P. Snow- The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
I agree with the above statement, because its so true. You can't go out and find happiness; it just comes to you when you least expect it. my friend once told me,"you might have had something that you really liked and you might feel like you'll never have anything as good again; don't worry becuase when you least expect it, you'll have something even better."

Waiting story
20 Bucks by: Danny Pozo
“Where the hell is she? She always freaking takes forever to get here.” Sorry for the profanity, but I’ve been waiting for my girl for the past 25 minutes to get to my house and she only lives 2 minutes away. Why do girls always take forever? Were they born that way? We’re going to the movies in Paramus; I heard Shutter Island was really good. Actually, while I wait let me go ask my sister for 20 bucks. I hear her upstairs blow drying her hair; she’s probably getting ready to go out any request I make shell probably just succumb to so I get out of her hair. I make my way up the stairs. I don’t know what it is about these stairs but they always make a loud creaking sound when you go up and down them. The sounds echo even louder because I’m a little nervous to ask my sister about the money. She has a tendency to get annoyed fast and yell. UHHH! I see her in her room in front of the mirror with the blow-dryer and brush in each hand. The blow-dryer is blowing full force I don’t know how she can hear anything; the radio is not going to help my cause either; she has it blasting way above the recommended volume.
“Let me get 20 bucks,” I demand her. “What?” ‘Let me get 20 bucks, I’m going to the movies and I don’t have any cash on me plus I don’t feel like going to the ATM.” “Look in my purse and only take 20!” “Where’s your purse?” I ask with a little smile on the inside now, yes she gave in! “I don’t know Danny, look downstairs.’ I go downstairs by the stairs, in the living room, dining room, kitchen and nothing. Now I have to go back up again, shit! “Its not downstairs.” “What?” All the freaking noise in her room is muting all of my words, how wouldn’t it be? Her fucking dryer is going Mach 4 on her hair right now. “It’s not downstairs!” “Look in my car then.” I make my way out to her car at least I already have my shoes on. Fuck! The doors locked. I don’t want to go upstairs again now I’m getting annoyed. Her dryer is off; all I can hear is the music. Fuck that I’m going to scream from down here. “Where are your keys?” I shout at the top of my lungs, thank god I’m over my sore throat. She actually hears me. She creeps out the door and tosses them down. I click the little unlock button go in her car and find her bright red purse. What’s up with girls and having crazy purses; anyways, nice 20 bucks. I lock the door behind me and leave the keys by the stairs I’m sure she’ll find them there. Alright movie time bitches! “Fuck, where’s my girl?????!!!!!”
