Today was Good Friday. We got a день off from school. I was walking down the улица, уличный with John, and I saw Kimberly, the girl who betrayed me. I kept my head down, hoping she wouldn't notice me, but she did. She said, "Hey, Grace!" I said, "Hey, Judas!" John said, "Oh, so, that's the girl who stabbed Ты in the back." I nodded. She said, "You're not still sore at me, are you, Grace?" I said, "I forgive, but I never forget." Suddenly, John stuck it to her. He said, "How dare Ты do this thing to Grace! She had been nothing but nice to her, and Ты took her сердце and ripped it into shreds! Ты spent all this time with Grace, and she still means nothing to you?!" Kimberly said, "Stay out of this! This doesn't concern you!" He said, "Yes, it does! Grace is part of my family as far as I'm concerned. Nobody hurts my family and gets away with it!" She said, "You really need to get a haircut, man. You're such a hippie." He said, "Yeah, and you're a horse's ass. What's your point?" I laughed. Kimberly came up to me and knocked me to the ground. She began beating on me, and John pulled her off of me. He said, "Oh, no, Ты do not! If Ты think you're going to beat her up on my watch, you're mistaken! I'd like to beat Ты up and throw Ты down a staircase and see how Ты like it!" She said, "You're not going to do that, are you?" He said, "No, Kimberly. I'm not like you." He let her go, and she ran away. He helped me to my feet. I said, "Thanks, John." He said, "You're welcome, Grace. Are Ты okay?" I said, "I'm fine, John. I'm not hurt at all." He said, "Good." He took me home. I was so glad John stood up for me. He told me, "I never got that lucky when I was your age."

ChiliPepperLuv John is so sweet! I love how he defended Grace and told things as they were. I also like the way he came up with a retort when he was insulted.

RetroRock64 That was really cool. John willingly defended Grace, and his retort to Kimberly was amazing. I wish I was that good with retorts.

BeatlesRock64 John is amazing! He was right. Grace doesn't deserve to be treated the way that Kimberly treated her. RetroRock64, I know. I wish I was good with them, too.

Peaceandlove67 One of his retorts was actually based on one of mine.

Rubyrings Yay, John! I love what he does to Kimberly! We need more Johns in the world. And I, too, wish I was that good with retorts.

Peaceandlove67 Yes, I think we need more Johns in the world, too.

When Joanna woke up the Далее morning, she felt desperate for food. She stripped the bark of a nearby дерево and found some insects. They were disgusting, but since it had been five days since she had eaten, Joanna didn't care. She drank from the stream to wash the taste of insects out of her mouth. She then pressed on to find her way back home. She found the steep холм, хилл where she had fallen. She struggled to climb the hill, but she managed to make it to the top. When she made it to the top, she stopped to rest. In her sleep, she had a dream about the afterlife. It was beautiful, unlike anything...

For the first three days, Joanna was happy to be on her own, away from all the criticism and insults. However, on the fourth day, she began to feel a bit lonely....

One day, Joanna and Millie were hanging out at Joanna's house. Joanna's grandparents made a surprise visit. They acted friendly upon meeting Millie, but they gave Joanna a stern look when they saw the letters, "L, G, B, and T" on Millie's shirt. Oh, no. This couldn't be good. After Millie left, Joanna's grandparents simultaneously asked, "Joanna, may we see Ты in the kitchen?" Joanna followed them in the kitchen. That never meant anything good. Her grandfather said, "Your friend's a queer, isn't she?" Joanna said, "They don't call them queer anymore, Grandpa. Besides, Millie doesn't like to...

One day, Joanna was walking through the neighborhood. It was a cold January day, and as she was walking, she encountered some of her schoolmates. They started throwing Болталка objects at her. She ran as fast as she could, and as she ran, she looked behind her. Unfortunately, there was a rock in front of her, and she tripped over it. She tumbled down the hill, into the Холодное сердце pond. The ice was very thin and broke beneath her weight. She could barely swim, and the ice was too thin for gripping. She cried for help, hoping someone would hear her. Just when she was about to give up, she heard Paul's...

One day, Paul and Joanna were hanging out with their friends, Ian and Millie. Some bullies started making fun of Millie. She was often bullied because she was homosexual. They said, "Go get hormone replacement therapy, Ты fucking queer!" She began to cry. Ian said, "She doesn't need hormone replacement therapy! She's fine the way she is!" Joanna said, "That's exactly right!" Paul then said, "But Ты all need attitude adjustment therapy!" The bullies were stunned. Joanna said, "Look, if you're opposed to homosexuals, that's fine, but don't curse at her and tell her to get hormone replacement...

As the months passed, Joanna and Paul became quite close. One day, Paul сказал(-а) to Joanna, "I think it's time I tell Ты something that I haven't told to, well, anyone." She said, "I do, too. I'll let Ты go first." He said, "You remember that I was adopted by an American family last year, right?" She said, "Of course." He said, "Well, I have yet to tell anyone what happened to my parents." She asked, "What happened?" He said, "My father was killed in a car crash when I was young, so I never spent much time with him. I did spend a lot of time with my mother, especially since I was an only child....

Cedar Valley is located in the Bible ремень, пояс, пояса of the United States. This small town is full of bible-thumping Puritans. A small percentage of the population is different.

The school nurse сказал(-а) she was fine, but she was really bruised. After school was dismissed, she sat on the bench in front of the school to wait on her mother. One of her school mates sat beside her. He сказал(-а) in his English accent, "Hi,...

One night, I was talking with one of my friends. I said, "I'm going to tell Ты something that I don't usually tell anyone. It was the секунда worst part of the eighth grade, the part I didn't include in my story." She said, "You can tell me anything." I said, "During the last six months of my seventh grade year, I ended up with endometriosis. The following summer, I had a hysterectomy. At the beginning of my eighth grade year, I told one of my friends. Later, she wrote in one of the bathroom stalls, 'Catherine is a slut puppy.' That nickname spread like wildfire. I'm...

One morning, during the summer, I noticed something wasn't right with one of my dogs. My Labrador, Sadie, seemed very lethargic. She did not want to eat или drink anything. I felt of her stomach, and it was really hard. My uncle took her to the vet, and it turned out her stomach had bloated. The vet tried to empty the blockage, but to no avail. The only humane thing was having her euthanized. As if that wasn't bad enough, I got a call from my friend, Sally, asking for me and Gavin to come to the hospital. I asked, "What's wrong?" She said, "You remember when I was treated...

One day, I received a call that Gavin was hurt. I went over to his house to see if he was okay. He had a big cut on his face. It was deep, but he didn't need stitches. He has some bruising around the cut as well. I asked, "What happened?" He said, "I was opening the car door, and I accidentally hit myself in the face. I fainted when I saw blood." I said, "I'm sorry. I hope that heals up soon." He said, "I'm sure it will." He was left with a scar on his face. The one good thing about it was that he gained some respect. When I got beat up near the end of the school year,...

One morning, I got up, and I opened my bedroom door. All of my Собаки were sitting there except my husky, Diesel. I thought, "It's not like Diesel to go off by himself." I called for him, but he never came. I went downstairs. I looked in the living room and saw him lying on the floor. He wasn't moving. I walked up to him and started talking to him. He didn't respond. I knelt down beside of my beloved dog to check for signs of life, nothing. I fell on вверх of him and cried. I said, "Diesel, please don't be dead! You've been my buddy for twelve years!

Sometime later in the school year, Gavin's father and mother went on a business trip. Gavin stayed with me and my aunt and uncle for the week. It worked out, because Gavin and I go to school together, and his dog got along with my dogs. That Monday, our school день started out well. Sometime after lunch, some of our schools mates shoved us in the janitor's closet and locked us in there. It was really dark, and I got really scared. I was on the verge of having a panic attack. Gavin said, "We'll be okay. Someone will find us soon." I calmed down some. Not only was it dark...

It was Valentine's Day. My Друзья and I made Valentine's день cards for each other. After school, we all met at Jennifer's house to exchange them. I was careful about what I wrote on some of them, because not all of my Друзья understand my humor. The only ones who do are Gavin, Jennifer, and William. The card I made for Gavin was a classic example of my humor. On the outside, I wrote, "It's Valentine's Day. I got Ты a card." On the inside, I wrote, "This is the inside of it." Gavin laughed until he cried when he read it. He said, "Oh, Catherine, always funny!" I said,...

Our sophomore год was a good год for the most part. Gavin and I didn't get bullied much. The few times we did, we usually took up for each other.

He asked, "Are Ты okay?" I said, "Yeah, I'm okay." I was a bit upset. When I came home, I put on some Beatles Музыка to make myself feel better. I felt better, and one of my Друзья even told me a joke. She said, "What is the difference...

One день during the summer, I decided to visit with Gavin. When I made it over there, his dog, Oliver, greeted me. I said, "Hi, Oliver! Where's Gavin?" The dog led me to Gavin. Gavin was resting under the дерево in his backyard. I said, "You look comfortable, Gavin." I expected him to say, "I am," but he didn't. Oliver licked his face, but he didn't stir. I thought, "Oh, God! Has he passed out?" I knelt down beside of him and gently shook him. "Gavin!" I cried. "Gavin, are Ты okay?!" He opened his eyes and said, "Good morning!"
