SOLT

SOL
I walked through the hallway backpack slung around my arm I kicked the door and walked out of the school, the horde straight behind me, the buzz started as soon as we hit fresh air. "happy birthday Dai..." I walked towards the buses " the dragon thing was awka..." I looked for my bus but it wasn't they're. I rescanned the buses, but no big white bus 16. "NICHOLAS,Nicholas." I spun around to see my bus monitor standing next to a tiny yellow bus. I sighed and got onto the bus, It was nearly full except for the back. So I jumped over Miguel, who had dedicated himself to stop anyone from passing by sticking out his foot- blocking the way. I sat down ready for the short ride home, It was Wednesday, and I had no activities today so I actually had a chance to finish all my homework before 8:00 at night. As usual swearwords where everywhere when Chris got,ranting on the quality of the bus. Compared how much homework we had with the highschoolers and made it home.

A Slice of Life


January 22 2009
I stepped into the wolf room, my head burning with pain. January 20 2009 the day when president Obama, the first black president would be sworn in. All day I had heard people talking about how he was going to to be shot, but it was halfway through his speech that our school was watching and a bullet hadn't been fired. I would have been happy but my head was hurting from the big screen and all the noise.
I carefully stepped through the large crowd of 5th and 6th graders on the floor and sat down in my spot in the back row.
Obama started to speak again, "We need to change...." I held my head as a jolt of pain hit me, "I say now we the United States of....." I hear people talking in front of me about how he was stuttering a bit, i wanted to object but before I could my head, started to fell like it was about to explode, suddenly Obama finishes his speech. I perk up to see if anything happened, but no Obama finishes with "god bless". I start thinking about the words he said in his speech and I know that no matter how good a president could be the Americans would need to help every bit as much as they wanted to, to save this collapsing world in the next 4 years.
