When the Snow Melts

When The Ice Melts

By Nicole Horton

    The twins Jessica and Samantha were trapped in their house after there was a big snow storm. While everyone else was either stuck out work or at school. “Thank goodness the ice is finally starting to melt. We might actually get a chance to get out of this house.” said Jessica.

“Ya I know. I can’t believe that we had that bad of a snow storm that it trapped everyone in their house, works, and schools.” said Samantha.

    “So when do you think mom and dad are coming home?” ask Jessica.
    “I don’t know, I think when they get all the snow away from the front doors and they get all the cars dug out. Oh and don’t forget they still have to clear the streets.”
    “Well mom and dad are going to be mad when they find out that we didn’t go to school today.”
    “No they wont cause they aren’t going to find out.”
    “Yes they well. I mean HELLO we are here at home trapped inside what are we going to say?”
    “ We will just say that we couldn’t get the car to start and when we did it started to snow. We will say that we knew we were going to be late and by time we were ready to leave the snow was so high that we couldn’t get out.”
    “That’s pretty good. They might actually believe that.”
    “Ya well I’m going upstairs and back to bed cause by looking at how high the snow is it’s going to be awhile before anyone get here.
    “Ya I think I will the same I am so tired.”

The twins headed off to bed. Trying to pass the time before anyone got home. There was no electricity. No heat. No lights. It was really cold inside their house and it was hard for them to sleep. The girls finally got to sleep. When they woke up they realized that that there was almost a path to their front door.

    “Jessica mom and dad are almost to the door. What are we going to do?”
    “Just play it cool. Hey look the lights are back on.”
    “Good go turn the heater on cause it’s cold”
    “Okay and when mom and dad get inside let me do the talking and you go along okay?”
    “Okay now hurry.”
The snow had melted enough so everyone one around town was starting to get out and heading home.
    “Hey mom. Hi dad. I’m so glad your here.” said Samantha.
    “Samantha? Jessica? Why are you guys still here?” asked there mom.
    “Well it’s a long story we will tell you over a hot cup of hot coco.” said Samantha.
    “Okay that sounds great it’s cold in here.” said there dad
    The girls told their parents the story. Their parents believe them so they didn’t get in trouble. By the next day the snow was getting smaller and smaller. There were piles of snow every where. The twins didn’t have school the next day because the snow was still every where. But the snow was finally starting to melt.

Manhattan

So I had to go to Manhattan to watch my nephew run it was a long day. To start the day off my nephew got pulled over great. Then when me and my sister (my nephews mom) get there we have no idea where to go. We drove around the parking lot of the football field and we went down the wrong road and almost ran over the K-state baseball team. Well we were lost so we stopped to ask one of the baseball people where the indoor field house was he had no idea. We were going to be late so we stopped at a gas place and asked the dude where it was. Well he pointed behind me i felt like a blonde. Well it was behind a building and we couldn't see so I didn't feel that bad. When when get there, there was no parking so we drove a block away and parked there. What a day and all that ugly purple I rolled up in KU when I got home.

Glee

I love to watch Glee and i even told my vocal teacher that we should have a Glee club. We call our teacher garden gnome. He is so short and annoying. Any I told he we should get on and he is all like no classical music is better. Well after months of asking to sing one of the Glee songs he finally let us so we get to sing Don't Stop Believing. That's awesome and all but I still want a Glee club so we can sing what ever we want and have fun topics instead of falling asleep in the class. If you like Glee comment and show your appreciation.

Bernie Fine

Syracuse's head basketball coach Bernie Fine. The school announced Sunday night, hours after new reports arose regarding his alleged sexual abuse of boys. Bernie Fine was placed on administrative leave earlier this month, after former Syracuse ball boy Bobby Davis and his stepbrother, Mike Lang, accused him of molesting them. I think no I KNOW he did it. He is SOOO guilty!!

The Suitcase

The Suitcase

by Nicole Horton

I was waiting for my train when shifting I glanced to the side of the chair I noticed a small green suitcase. It has been there for a long time and no one had came and picked it up. I wondered if someone forgot it. Maybe they will come back and get it. When I picked up the suitcase I saw the initials R. D. Smith. I started to walk to the counter when someone grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side. I tried to scream for help, but he had put his hand around my mouth so I couldn’t. My heart was racing. I didn’t know what to do. I wish I had never ran away from home now. I tried to run but he had a good grip on me. “Why do you have Mr. Smith’s suitcase?” he asked

He lifted his hand off my mouth slowly so I could answer. “I found it! I was going to turn it into the lost in found!”

“ You can’t be seen with that suitcase! A lot of people want whats in it! Your coming with me!” he demanded.

We started to walk out of the train station. We were walking very fast. We were almost running. When I turned to look at him he looked like he was about 20 maybe 21, not much older then me. He was very handsome, he had deep blue eyes and brown hair. He look about 6’1 and he was really tan.

“ Whats your name? How old are you?” he asked me.

My mouth was dry I couldn’t get anything out. Finally i managed to get something out but  wasn’t loud. “My name is Quinn Hope Johnson. I am 19,:” I could tell my voice was shaking really bad. “Who are you?”

“I am Julian Smith. No relation to Mr. Smith,” he said.

He put me in a me little blue Mustage. About 4 miles from the train station there was a dirty road we took. It  took us out of town. I didn’t know where we were going i started to get scared. “Where are you taking me?”

“We are getting out of this town. Before people notice the suitcase is gone. I know a place just a couple of miles from here. We will be safe there.”

It was almost dark when we pulled up to a small house. It was in pretty good shape, the paint was starting to come off in places. “Who’s house is this?”

“My grandma’s, she died 10 years ago so know one will look for us here.” He  took me  up stairs and down the hall do the very last door. “You can sleep in here  for the night. We will leave around 8 tomorrow so you better get to sleep. The bathroom is just two doors down to your right,” he said as he started down the stairs.

I couldn’t fall asleep. I wanted to know what was in the suitcase. Why was it so important to this guy?

It took about 20 minutes for me to fall asleep that night. The next morning I looked at the clock. It said 7:06. “I guess I better get up and get ready.” I said to myself. I went down the hall to the bathroom. When I got out and was getting dressed there was a light knock on the door. “Hold on I’m almost done.”

“Okay. Hurry. I got breakfast made we will leave in 40 minutes.”

I hurried and brushed through my hair and went down stairs. It smelled amazing. When I walked into the kitchen there was bacon and eggs. I was so hungry. I didn’t have anything to eat yesterday at all. It was very quiet we didn’t talk. We only ate. After I got done eating, he took my plate and put it in the sink. “We better get going.”

We left the house five minutes later. We drove in silence for a couple of miles. I couldn’t stand the silence “So where are you from Julian?”

“ I am from New York I was sent down here it get to the suitcase before anyone else could!”

“Oh. Cool. So whats in the suitcase?” I had to ask. I wanted to know.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “It’s a computer chip that has all the world’s information on it.” He said. He turned to look at me. “If it falls into the wrong hands, life as we know it could be over.”

I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I tried to think of the world with no one on it. I will never get to see my mother or father again. I will never see my new baby brother being born. Just the thought of that made my cry. I looked behind me noticed a black car coming out us. “OH MY GOSH!” I screamed “Watch out there is someone coming! Hurry!”

“How did they find us? Get the suitcase the lock code is 6396! Get the chip out and throw the suitcase out!”

I looked at him I couldn’t move. “NOW!” he yelled. “There is a tracking device in the suitcase! We have to get it out.”

I grabbed the suitcase like he said. I put the code in and got the chip. I rolled down the window and threw it out. The black car stopped and picked up the suitcase. I was still watching the car until I couldn’t see it anymore. “You are endanger. We have to hind.” He looked out me “There is a town coming up here. I’m going to drop you off, and you stay there. I am going to keep driving.”

“No I want to stay” I said looking at him. I could feel a tear rolling down my cheek.

“It’s too dangerous you are getting out at this town whether you like it or not.”

For the rest of the drive I didn’t say a word. When we got into town he dropped me off at a hotel. “Here is a hundred dollars. Take it and get a room. Lock the doors and stay there.

I took the money and watched him drive away. That was the last time I saw him. I wondered if someday we will every meet again. When I couldn’t see him anymore, I did what he said and got a room. I called my mom and told her everything and asked her to come get me. My life was forever changed that day. I was never the same.

Student Planners

The school gives you a student planner and tell you to write what you did in class that day. I have a planner somewhere in my locker or at home! I never use it because it is useless I forget my homework anyways but don't worry I always get it done before the class. Last year when I had a planner and i used it to draw in!! I think people should just stop using planners they are so boring and not cool! I write down in my planner to finish this blog about 3 weeks ago and well I didn't so I have to finish it now!!

Who am I??

When trying to impress everyone and keep them all happy I seem to have lost myself. For every person there is a different me and I don't know who I am anymore! Am I the best dork in school?? Am I the meanest girl is school?? Am I fun, weird, outgoing person that everyone likes for being myself?? I have been asking myself these questions all night and part of this morning. The only really point to this blog is always be yourself don't try to be someone your not. I don't Know who my real friends are and be starting all over I will see who they are when I start acting like myself. Wish me luck on finding who I really am its going to be a long school year!!
