Candy Apple Red
Is it really mine?
This one of a kind,
Candy Apple Red,
Racing Stripes,
Driving Fast.
The glares I get from all those strangers,
They can’t believe it’s me,
Driving behind the wheel of a Mustang GT.
A mustang is as fast as a horse.
Some people think that the name came from a horse,
But they were wrong.
It came from a plane,
Shocker hey!
The gorgeous mustang,
Now in my hands.
I can’t believe what I’m seeing,
A 2008 Mustang GT!
I have always dreamed of owning a mustang,
Now as I stare at the mustang I now own.
A Mustang is a horse,
Aka: a Mustang.
Is it really mine?
This 2008 Mustang GT.

Changes
“Come on Vanessa, the bus is going to be here in 5 minuets.” Isabelle yelled.
“I’m coming.” I hollered.
Vanessa ran downstairs, her blond hair blowing in the wind, her blue eyes glistening in the sun. One word describes it all ‘Beautiful’.
My name is Vanessa; I’m a 14 year old girl living the life she always dreamed of. Two loving parents, two wonderful siblings, Isabelle, and Joseph, Caring friends, a wonderful boyfriend, and best of all, a team that loves her.
“Mom, I’m going Jamie’s after school before practice.” I said as I rummaged through my backpack.
“Okay your dad will be there to pick you up after.” Her mom said.
Vanessa grabbed her backpack, hockey stick, and her hockey bag and was out the door in a matter of seconds.
When Vanessa got on the bus, everything was silent, and all eyes were on her.
“Sit over here Ness” One girl said.
“No, sit over here!” Another yelled.
Vanessa just smiled and sat next to her best friend, Amanda.
“Hey Mandy.” Vanessa said as she stumbled over here stuff.
“Hey Ness, you excited for playoffs this weekend?”
“Ah, not really” Ness said sarcastically.
“What are you talking about girl, yesterday that’s all you could talk about, now you’re just going to change your mind just like that?” Amanda said.
“I’m just kidding Mandy, of course I’m excited!” Vanessa giggled.
This bus stops, the door opens everything was silent. Drew Hanson appeared on the bus. The one I call ‘Mine’.
“You’re so lucky to have him” Amanda said.
“Oh come on, he’s not that amazing.” I look at him again. “Okay, maybe he is!”
“Hey ladies” Drew said
“Hi Drew” Amanda said.
Vanessa just smiled.
The bus stopped, once again. Vanessa, Drew, and Amanda stare out the window, Stacey Jackson, - The dancer. All we could say is Ew. Long Brown Hair, Dark brown eyes, and a body so fragile, I was scared she would break if I touched her. She stared at me and gave me a dirty look.
I look at Amanda, Next Drew; she couldn’t handle how un-popular she was.
We arrived at school at 8:45am. Drew, Amanda, and Vanessa, Best friends, side by side, together forever.
The bell rang, and Ness walked to class.
After school was finally over, Ness walked straight to Jamie’s locker.
“Hey Jamie” Ness said.
“Hey Ness, are you ready to go?”
“Fo Sho” Ness and Jamie laughed as they walked out the door.
When they got to the corner of the street, they met up with Drew, and
Amanda.
“Hey Guys” Ness said.
“Hey” Amanda and Drew said.
We walked to Jamie’s.
~*~*~
When I got home, it was dark, as I stumbled through the door, the kitchen light turned on.
“Oh, Hi mom.” I said.
“Hi Ness. I was just taking a nap when you got home.”
“Sorry I woke you.” I said as I walked into my room.
As soon as I got into my room, I dropped my stuff on the floor, and walked directly back into the kitchen. When I got into the kitchen, I sat down at the table at my regular spot.
“Ness can you get Izzy, and Joseph for me, please?” mom said.
“Sure” I said as I walked out to Izzy’s room.
“Dizzy, supper is ready” and she walked down to the kitchen.
After I walked to Joseph’s room.
“Time for supper bud.” I say.
Joseph walked to the kitchen and sat in the seat besides Izzy. I followed him into the kitchen, and sat down across from him.
The food was ready, and on the table, my mom and dad sat down and we all started eating.
“So how was hockey Ness?” my dad asked.
“Good” I replied.
“Listen Ness, we need to talk, you dad and I thought about it, and … we think it would be best if you maybe, quit hockey.”
My mouth dropped. I can’t believe their making me do this.”
“WHAT” that’s all I could say.
“I know you’re mad, but hockey takes up too much time, and costs way to much money.” My dad says, but I can barley hear it.
I hear those words running through my mind, quit hockey, quit hockey, quit hockey… over and over again...
“I’m not hungry anymore” I said, and walked up to my room.
I ran to my computer, and immediately e-mailed Amanda.

Message:
Oh my gosh, MANDY,, MY PARENTS ARE MAKING ME QUIT,, There killing me,, ahh,, this can’t be happening, I can’t believe there making me quit. HELP ME!!!!
From: nessybear56@ hotmail.com.
My mom walked in the room just as I was closing the internet.
“Ness hun, I know this is hard for you, but hockey costs just way too much money, maybe you could join another sport, maybe dance, figure skating, or maybe soccer.”
“No I want to stay in hockey, I’m captain, the team is depending on me, I can’t just quit in the middle of playoffs.”
“Sorry Ness, you have to quit, were not making this an option, your quitting, you dad is calling your coach right now.” My mom said as she walked out of my room, and closed the door.
I decided to just lay down in my bed and go to sleep.
In the morning, I woke up not wanting to do anything, I got in the shower, and when I got out I blow dried my hair and curled it, and I got dressed, that’s all I really wanted to do. I went outside at 7:45 and sat on the lawn waiting for the bus. When the bus got here, I stood up and walked to the bus, for the first time in months, everything stayed it same when I got on, no one asked me to sit with them, I just walked to the back and sat down beside Amanda, even If she didn’t want to sit with me I was still going to sit with her.
“Hi Mandy.” I said
“Hi Ness” She said happily.
“Is it alright if I sit here with you?” I asked.
“Of course, just because your not on the hockey team doesn’t mean that were not friends.”
“Aw, thanks Mandy” I smiled.
Now Drew walks on the bus, smiling.
“Hey Drew” I say.
“Hey Nessie” he says.
All the way to school me Amanda and Drew, were all talking about my future, should I join dance, baseball, softball, figure skating, or soccer. They think I should join soccer, but I have something else in mind. Something that I don’t think they will like.
~*~*~
When I got home, I told my mom and dad, that I thought of what sport I want to play. I told them Dance. They were shocked.
“Okay Ness, if you want too, I will call the teacher for Dance Revolution that you would like to join, hopefully they will let you join.” My dad said.
“Sounds good.” I said, and I went to bed.
In the morning, I told Drew and Amanda that I’m joining dance. They were shocked, and exactly what I thought, they hated it.
In the hallways I saw Stacey, the one I will be dancing with.
“Hey Stacey.” I said.
“Ness, why are you talking to me?” She said surprisingly.
“I just wanted to tell you, that my parents are making me quit hockey, so I’m joining dance!”
“WHAT, you have to dance with me, oh god, this cant be good.”
“Oh, come on, I’m not that bad of a dancer, well I hope I’m not.”
“Fine, I will see if you are good enough to be dancing with ME” she said.
“Oh don’t be so conceded.” I said.
“Well I am a very good dancer; I have been dancing for 10 years now.” She said.
“Oh well I have been playing hockey for 11 years. BEAT THAT”
We both laughed.
“Well I guess I should get to class, Mrs. Hansen is going to kill me if I’m late again.” I said.
“Well see you later.” Stacey said to me. “Oh don’t forget we have dance tonight from 5:30-8:00, BE THERE!” she said.
I walked to my classroom, and sat down next to Amanda.
“Hey, we meet once again.” I said
She just ignored me.
“Mandy, Hello.” I said.
Amanda, my best friend just stood up and went to go sit beside Drew. MY BOYFRIEND.
I need to go over and settle this all.
“Drew, Amanda, I need to talk to you guys, I know you guys are mad at me for quitting hockey, but its not my fault, I didn’t want to quit, my parents made me, I cant help it.” I said, hoping they would forgive me.
“Vanessa, just go away, I’m breaking up with you.” Drew said.
“Whatever, there is nothing I can do, good-bye forever guys.” I walked away.
After school I walked on the bus, and sat down by myself.
“Is this seat taken?” I heard an unfamiliar voice say.
I look up, Caitlyn Smith; the LAST person I thought would be talking to me.
“I heard you joined my dance group, I never would have guessed that, I thought you were a hockey girl?” She said
“Yeah I did play hockey, but my parents made me quit, so I joined dance instead.” I said, still kind of surprised.
“That’s cool, I’m sure you’re an amazing dancer.” She said. “Well this is my stop, see you tonight at dance!”
“Bye” I said.
When I got home, I went and put some shorts and a t-shirt on, apparently, that’s what you wear to dance class.
When my dad got home it was 4:45, my mom made us supper, and by the time we finished it was 5:10, so we left for my first day of dance.
When I walked into the dance studio, my dad followed me in.
“Hi Vanessa.” I heard a lady say. “I’m Janessa; I will be your dance instructor from now on.”
Janessa is very pretty, she had blond hair and blue eyes, her hair tied up in a pony tail, and she was wearing yoga pants and a black jacket. There weren’t very many people in the group, I counted 11, and I knew a few of them, Stacey, Caitlyn, and a girl from my math class, Ally.
“Girls, we have a new dancer joining us today. Her name is Vanessa.” Janessa told the girls as we walked into the studio. Janessa introduced me to all of the girls, there were 14 people in the group now, and two were missing today. The ones that were here were, Stacey, Caitlyn, Ally, Kylie, Michaela, Kayla, Ashlee, Natalie, Christina, Madi, and Grace.
Ashlee was the first one I noticed; she had medium length blond hair and gray eyes, she was beautiful and I wanted to be her best friend.
“Okay girls lets do some stretching.” Janessa said.
I followed Ally to the dance floor and sat down next to her. Ashlee came and sat down beside me.
“Hi Vanessa, I’m Ashlee.”
“Hi Ashlee, you can call me Ness.”
“Okay, that’s a cool nickname.”
“Yeah, my best fr- I mean my ex- best friend gave it too me when we met in grade 4.”
“Why isn’t she your friend anymore?” Ashlee asked.
“I don’t really know, she just doesn’t talk to me anymore, since I joined dance.” I replied.
“That’s too bad. What is her name?” She asked.
“Amanda, I call her Mandy.”
“Oh, that’s cool.” She said.
~*~*~
After dance was over my dad was there to pick me up.
“Hi.” I said as I sat down in the car.
“Hi, how was it?” He asked.
“Great! I met a lot of new people.” I said.
“Well I’m glad you liked it.” He said
It took us 10 minuets to get home; when I got home it was 8:25pm. I walked in the house my mom was sitting on the couch watch TV. She turned the TV off when I walked in the room.
“Hi Ness.” My mom said.
“Hi, Dance was awesome, I love it. I made a lot of new friends. There were 11 people there and 2 were missing.”
“That’s awesome, I’m glad you liked it.” She said smiling.” Now, are you going to stick with it?”
“I think so.” I said. “Well I’m going to go to bed, I’m really tired. Good-night.”
“Night.”
In the morning I woke up raring to go! I prettied myself up and left for school. But after school and before dance, I was in for a real surprise.
~*~*~
Dance that night was worse then I expected. The two other girls were there, Jessie, and … AMANDA!! Yes, my best friend Amanda. When I saw her my mouth dropped.
“WHAT!” I said.
“Oh Hi Ness…” She said quietly.
“I thought you hated dance?” I said with an attitude.
“Uh, yeah about that, um, I actually love it I have been in it for over 8 years, I was just saying that because I didn’t want anyone to know I was in dance.” She said still kind of quiet.”
I couldn’t speak, she lied to me, and As soon as she said this I walked away, now I know she wasn’t worthy enough to be my best friend.
~*~*~
When I got home I went straight to my room and thought about life. For two hours I just sat there, at 10:45 I finally fell asleep.
~*~*~
When I woke up in the morning, I couldn’t believe it, it was finally the weekend. I was happy but I really wasn’t looking forward for school on Monday, but of course it came.
Monday morning was the worst day of grade 8; it was usually amazing but today just sucked.
At school I could barley look any where near where Amanda was. She was my worst enemy. Just thinking that she lied to me, makes me even madder. But the time had to come, in 4th period Amanda walked up to me.
“Listen Ness, I’m sorry I lied to you, I know its wrong, but it’s the best thing to do, I didn’t want people making fun of me because I was in dance. I needed an excuse, I know I shouldn’t have lied and gotten mad at you, but it was for the team.”
“Whatever Amanda, there is nothing you can say that will ever make me forgive you, come on we were best friends, I can’t believe you did this to me. Peace Out” I walked away.
For the rest of the time I was in dance I didn’t talk to Amanda at all, I stayed being friends with Stacey, Ally, and Ashlee. It was a very good idea but I still felt that loosing her was really hard for me, but it also helped.
“I’m coming.” I hollered.
Vanessa ran downstairs, her blond hair blowing in the wind, her blue eyes glistening in the sun. One word describes it all ‘Beautiful’.
My name is Vanessa; I’m a 14 year old girl living the life she always dreamed of. Two loving parents, two wonderful siblings, Isabelle, and Joseph, Caring friends, a wonderful boyfriend, and best of all, a team that loves her.

Matthew Charles Sanders
Matthew Charles Sanders.
This report will discuss many facts about the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold, Matthew Charles Sanders. It will explain: What his life story is, how the band came up with Avenged Sevenfold, how long has he been in avenged sevenfold, what are his interests, and has he been in any other bands before Avenged Sevenfold. Here are the questions.
1. What is his Life Story?
2. How did the band come up with Avenged Sevenfold?
3. How long has he been in Avenged Sevenfold?
4. What are his interests?
5. Has he been in any other bands before Avenged Sevenfold?
Matthew Charles Sanders was born on July 31st 1981 in Huntington Beach California. He is the lead singer in a band called Avenged Sevenfold. Matthew was expelled from 6 different Huntington Beach schools. He was known as “The kid who killed the principal” After the principal had a heart attack. He had a good heart but a bad attitude. He went to a private school for a year but got kicked out for smashing a woman’s windows in 6th grade. Matthew got his stage name ‘M. Shadows’ when he was attending Huntington beach school. He was the darker kid of the band; He also wanted to have part of his name so Matthew was changed to ‘M’.
Band names are one of the toughest things any group can do; the name Avenged Sevenfold is not only unique but stands for a lot. The name captures the essence. Avenged Sevenfold is based on the biblical story of Gods wrath upon killing able. It reflects who they are and what they stand for, and what they believe in.
Avenged Sevenfold was formed in the summer of 1999 in Huntington Beach California. Brian, (Synyster Gates) met the rest of the band through ‘The Rev’ Brian and the Rev met in Metal shop back in 8th grade when the rev started to make fun of Brian, but they both relived they had a love for music, So they made the band Avenged Sevenfold with Zacky, Johnny, and Matthew.
Matthew listened to a lot of punk-rock music, but got into the metal scene when his father brought him ‘Appetite for Destruction’ by Guns N’ Roses. Matthew feels strong about the troops serving the war in Iraq. Matthew sings in the band Avenged Sevenfold, but he played the Piano before he started to sing. Matthew doesn’t like to read a lot.
Matthew formed a number of bands with Rhythm Guitarist Zacky Vengeance. Matthew was in a band called ‘Successful Failure’ witch penned the song ‘streets.’ Now he is in Avenged Sevenfold with Synyster Gates on Lead Guitar, and Back-up Vocals, Zacky Vengeance, on Rhythm Guitar and back-up vocals, Johnny Christ, on Bass and back-up vocals, and The Rev on Drums, percussion, Piano and Back-up vocals. Their former members were Matt Wendt- Bass, Deamon Ash- Bass, and Justin Sane as Bass, They went through 3 Bassits to get the perfect one.
In conclusion, Matthew is a very talented singer with a good heart, but a bad attitude but he will always be a great inspiration to all. I hope he will keep his career going for as long as he can.

Matthew Charles Sanders was born on July 31st 1981 in Huntington Beach California. He is the lead singer in a band called Avenged Sevenfold.

He went to a private school for a year but got kicked out for smashing a woman’s windows in 6th grade. Matthew got his stage name ‘M. Shadows’ when he was attending Huntington beach school. He was the darker kid of the band; He also wanted to have part of his name so Matthew was changed to ‘M’.
Band names are one of the toughest things any group can do; the name Avenged Sevenfold is not only unique but stands for a lot. The name captures the essence. Avenged Sevenfold is based on the biblical story of Gods wrath upon killing able. It reflects who they are and what they stand for, and what they believe in.
Avenged Sevenfold was formed in the summer of 1999 in Huntington Beach California. Brian, (Synyster Gates) met the rest of the band through ‘The Rev’ Brian and the Rev met in Metal shop back in 8th grade when the rev started to make fun of Brian, but they both relived they had a love for music, So they made the band Avenged Sevenfold with Zacky, Johnny, and Matthew.
Matthew listened to a lot of punk-rock music, but got into the metal scene when his father brought him ‘Appetite for Destruction’ by Guns N’ Roses. Matthew feels strong about the troops serving the war in Iraq. Matthew sings in the band Avenged Sevenfold, but he played the Piano before he started to sing. Matthew doesn’t like to read a lot.

Forever Remembered
Forever Remembered
“Katie, i'am leaving.” Katie’s dad yelled down to her room, Katie ran upstairs to give her dad a hug.
“Bye dads see you Sunday, Love ya.” I said to my dad
Katie gave her dad a hug and watched him leave the house.
“Mom, i’am going to miss him, even though he’s only going to be gone for 2 days.” Katie told her mom.
“Me too Sweetie.” Juliana, Katie’s mom said to her.
Katie and Juliana waved to her dad, and then closed the door. Katie walked back downstairs to her room, and went on the computer, Katie called her friend Max.
Max’s sister Sarah answered.
“Hi, is Max there” I asked
“Umm no he’s at Jesse’s house.” She answered
“Okay do you know what time he will be home?” I asked her quietly.
“I think he said 5:00.” She said back.
“Okay I will call back later.” I hung up the phone.
Katie ran upstairs to go grab her cell phone. She grabbed it and texted her friend Chelsea.
“Hey, do you want to hang out today?” Katie asked her.
Chelsea texted back right away “Sure. Can you come here like right now?”
“Sure, i’am on my way.” I said
“MOM, IM GOING TO CHELSEA’S” I yelled up to my mom’s room.
“Okay but be back by 5.” Juliana yelled back.
Katie got in her car and drove to Chelsea’s house.
At 3:30 Katie got a call from her mom, it was an emergency, Katie rushed home right away. Her mom told her the news, Katie burst into tears.
“WHAT” she wailed.
Katie’s father had got in a plane crash, He had passed away.
Katie was heartbroken.
“I can’t believe it.” She said to her mom.
“Neither can I” Juliana said to her.
Katie pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, she texted Max, and said
“Max, i’am scared.”
“why” He texted back.
“Well because, umm there was a plane crash, my dad was in it.” I said as a tear drop fell on the phone.
“Oh no, is he allright?” He said.
“umm no, he, he, he died…. I wailed.
“Oh no I will be right there.”
2 hours later there was a knock on the door, Katie thought it was Max, she ran up to answer the door.
“Max.” I yelled
Surprisingly it wasn’t Max. It was Max’s mom Sierra.
“Katie I know this is hard for you, but I have some news, Well Max was on his way here, he got in a car crash, he is now in the hospital, I will take you there if you want.” Sierra wailed.
“yes take me there now, MOM max got in a car crash Sierra is going to take me to see him.” Katie cried.
“oh.” Katie’s mom ran to the door, Katie was already gone.
Sierra and Katie arrived at the hospital.
Katie ran inside, Sierra said he was in room 213. She ran to his room to see him, all of a sudden her feet stopped moving.
“Hold on, Max cannot have any visitors for at least 15 hours.” The nurse told her.
“Why not?” I asked.
“He hasn’t really gotten used too the voices, and I think he just needs some rest.” The nurse told me.
I walked out of the room, and nearly fainted, I sat on a chair and started to cry.
“Sierra, is he going to be all right?” I asked
“Hopefully sweetie.” She said. “do you want me to drive you home?”
“Sure.” I told her.
We drove home in complete silence. There was no talking not even a good bye.
I got out of the car and slowly walked up to my door, I walked in, and fell down to the ground and started to cry.
After 5 minutes I slowly stood up and walked down to my room, I fell on my bed, and went to sleep. A few hours later someone woke me up.
“Katie, Katie, wake up sweetie.” I heard a strange voice say.
I woke up to a blur.
“Where am I?” I asked.
The voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t figure it out.
“Your in the hospital, you fainted.” He said
I finally opened my eyes.
“Max!” I yelled.
He came up to my bed and hugged me.
“Well how are you feeling?” He asked.
“umm I really don’t know.” I stuttered.
“Well you just get your rest; The doctor will be here soon.” He told me.
I fell asleep.
Two days later Katie was still suffering from the pain of her father’s death. 2 weeks after he has died, they had a funeral. Katie’s dad crashed into twin towers on September 11th 2001, for now on all the people who died will be forever remembered.

Birds
Birds
This report is about birds. There were 3 questions asked. The questions were, what is a bird, why do birds fly in a V, and what are Three Types of Birds and explain each one. The first question is what is a bird.
What is a bird?
So, what is a bird you ask, well a bird is a unique animal. They are an animal with feathers, they are the only animal that can fly, not all birds can fly, Birds like Ostriches, and penguins cannot fly. They either run, walk or slide. There are about 9,700 types of birds. The fastest bird can go over 160 kilometers per hour. They use there wings like flippers.
Why do they fly in a V?
Birds fly in a V because the wind comes towards them and the bird in front cuts the find and when the front bird gets tired, it goes to the back and another bird goes to the front.
What are three types of birds and explain each.
The three types of birds this report will explain are the Puffin, the Owl, and the Penguin.
Puffin
A puffin is a cross between a penguin and a parrot. They only have a brightly coloured beak for a few months. The Puffin is a member of the Auk family and they only have 3 toes. They are fairly good fliers, and they make a lot of different sounds.
Owls.
Owls are very interesting animals, they can see in the Dark. There are 140 types of Owls, like the barn owl, the Bay owl, The Malay fish owl, the Snowy owl, and Pets fish owl, the little owl and much more. The Owl comes from all over the world. They are very cute animals, with big eyes.
The last animal I’m going to explain is the Penguin.
Penguin.
Penguins live in the Cold, and they are a flightless animal, and they cannot breathe under water. The mother penguin lays her egg on the ice, and then passes it on the father. And then the mother goes to the ocean to get food for the baby. The egg starts to crack after 2 months, but if the egg falls on the ice, the baby will die. Penguins can swim as deep as 870 feet.
Conclusion
Thank-you for reading this report and we hope you learned about birds.

From The Beginning to the End
I signed on to MSN to see if anyone was on, He shouted “Yes Julie is on!”
I opened a conversation with her, He said “Hey Hun.”
She replied back saying “Hi.”
I thought to myself, hmm she doesn’t seem very happy, I wonder what’s the matter.
I said to her, “Hey what’s the matter?”
Julie answered back right away, “Oh, nothing I just don’t feel to well I think I just need some rest.”
“Okay well do you want to hang out later?” I asked her
She answered, “Uh no I am hanging out with Brittany today, maybe tomorrow? But I got to go so I will see you later? Bye”
“Bye,” I said sadly
It said on the computer screen Julie.. <33. has signed off. Matt, also signed off. He went upstairs to get a drink, he got a text from his best friend Cory, It read “Hey dude what’s up?”
I replied back saying “nothing much but I need some advise.”
Matt got another text from Cory, it said “c’mon dude you know I don’t do advice.”
I replied back saying “I know but this is serious, I don’t know if Julie likes me anymore, she pretty much ignored me today on msn, but idk?” Matt called his friend Luke and asked if he could hang out with him tonight, he said “sure.”
So Matt got in his car and drove to Luke’s. It was 5:15 and he texted Cory and said “Hey do you want to hang out later?”
Cory texted back and it said “Uh No, I am Hanging out with Trey tonight.”
Matt texted back saying “that’s cool I guess.”
At 6:30 Matt drove around his town Saupel, to see if he could find Cory or Julie, Matt couldn’t believe what he was looking at right this second, “My girlfriend is cheating on me with my best friend, well I guess now my ex-best friend” Matt growled as he drove home.
When Matt got home, he texted Cory and said “I know your secret” Cory replied back saying “what are you talking about??”
“your dead.” Matt wrote back as he put his cell phone on the charger and got ready to go watch a movie.
When the movie was over it was 11:20, Matt still couldn’t believe that his girlfriend was cheating on him, he was furious at Julie.
“We will NEVER be friends again.” Matt said to himself as he got in to bed, Matt went to sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, he ate some breakfast and went to go phone Julie when the phone rang, it was Julie
“Hello” I said.
“Hi, what’s up?” Julie asked me.
I said to her “nothing but I have a question for you?”
“What is it?” Julie asked.
“All I have to say is, how was your date yesterday?” Matt asked her
“What are you talking about? How do you know?” Julie said with a strange voice.
“I know what you were doing yesterday and NONE of it had ANYTHING to do with hanging out with Brittany, I know your cheating on me with my BEST FRIEND, and I think this relationship can go no further, Matt hung up the phone.
Matt felt really good about breaking up with Julie.
Matt texted Cory one last time, and he said “You’re the Biggest loser is the history of EVER, I hate you and we are defiantly not friends anymore, Only my worst enemies cheat on my girlfriends.”
Cory texted back and said “ Huh, what are you talking about Julie was never cheating on you, we were only hanging out yesterday because we, ah I hate to tell you and ruin the surprise but we were planning you a surprise birthday party.”
Matt read the text and SCREAMED, “AHHH I GOT TO GO CALL JULIE!!!!!” Matt bolted down to his room to grab his phone, right away he called Julie, Julie answered “What” Julie I know you weren’t cheating on me it was my mistake I didn’t know you were planning me a surprise party, I am sorry can you forgive me” Matt asked her.
Julie said to him “I am sorry too I shouldn’t have told you a lie, can we get back together?” “YES, but you know I should go, I will call you later, I love you and I will always love you even if something like this happens again.” Julie answered back. “bye bye I love you too.”
Matt hung up the phone and was happy like he was before and he hopes he can be like this FOREVER!
I opened a conversation with her, He said “Hey Hun.”
She replied back saying “Hi.”
I thought to myself, hmm she doesn’t seem very happy, I wonder what’s the matter.
