The Cold and Warmth of Winter Final Part

posted by Peaceandlove67

I was beginning to lose hope in the idea of finding a friend. One day, something amazing happened. I saw that I was getting new neighbors. I saw a kid there who appeared to be around my age. I decided to go over and talk to him. I said, "Hi, I'm Winter. It's nice to meet you." He said, "Hi, Winter. I'm George. It's nice to meet you, too." I noticed he had a bit of an accent. I said, "That's a nice accent Ты have there." He said, "Thank you. I'm from Liverpool, England." I said, "Like the Beatles?!" He said, "Yes." Another Beatles fan! I knew we would get along! I talked with him for a little while, and I then said, "I guess I better go, but it was nice talking to you." He said, "It was nice talking to you, too." The Далее day, I got on the bus to go to school. When George got on, he looked around. I looked up at him and said, "You can sit with me if Ты want to." He said, "Thank you." He sat beside of me. We talked and learned that we had a lot of the same interests. Later at school, I saw some kids picking on him. I stood up to them, and they pushed me down the stairs. George helped me up and asked, "Are Ты all right?" I said, "Yeah." He thanked me for standing up for him, and just like that, we became friends. We had a few bumps in the road, but we still remained friends. We were connected by our Любовь of Музыка and the forces of friendship. We found each other, and it became the longest-lasting friendship of my life. We are best Друзья to this day....best Друзья forever.

THE END

ChiliPepperLuv I'm so glad you ended this on a happy note!

RetroRock64 I'm glad for that, too! Happy endings are the best!

Peaceandlove67 They really are. I know they're a cliche, but I love happy endings. A lot of movies and stories end like this. "A rock falls. Everyone dies. The end." It leaves me thinking, "I sat here for two hours just for that?!"

BeatlesRock64 I know what you're saying. I don't like sad endings.

Rubyrings A sad ending can ruin an entire story - especially when it feels like they just put it in there to avoid a happy one! I like this ending. Finding another Beatles fan is the ultimate happy ending.

Peaceandlove67 Yes, indeed! I'll be writing another one after Christmas.

Rubyrings Oh, good!

Peaceandlove67 Yeah. ChiliPepperLuv inspired me.

ChiliPepperLuv I'm glad I gave you inspiration, my friend.

80smusiclover1 Wow! Now that's what I call a happy ending.

Peaceandlove67 Yes, happy endings are nice.

Today was the first день of school. It was not a good day, или maybe it was, depending on how one looks at it. I got beat up, but I am glad that I took a beating for someone else. What happened was this. I saw some girls bullying the new girl. I walked up to the bullies and said, "Stop it! Why are Ты being so mean? What did this girl ever do to you?" The ring leader said, "Stay out of this, Grace! This doesn't concern you!" I said, "On the contrary, I think it does." Another one of the girls said, "She says she has Autism или some kind of enlightenment crap." I said, "That's no...

I saw The Devil Wants Peace in концерт tonight. It was just as amazing as I imagined. My Избранное moment in the концерт was when they played "Hatred Will Get Ты Nowhere." I really like what John сказал(-а) about the song. He said, "This song is called 'Hatred Will Get Ты Nowhere.' I wrote this song along with Allen, Peter, and Stan. After we recorded the song, Peter сказал(-а) to me, 'It's a shame that we kill off our Герои and allow the evils of the world to enter.' I said, 'I agree with you, Peter.' He said, 'I'm no bloody genius. I never made anything above a B, but I think the world's...

I am currently in Chicago. I'm going to see The Devil Wants Peace in концерт tomorrow. They're already in Chicago as well. This is how I know. After we got our things unpacked, my aunt, uncle, and I decided to go see what Chicago had to offer. We stopped to eat at a local restaurant. I looked over and noticed the members of The Devil Wants Peace were there. I said, "Oh, my gosh! It's The Devil Wants Peace!" My aunt suggested going over to talk to them. I said, "I don't want to bother them while they're eating." My uncle walked up to them and said, "My niece is a huge fan. She knows...

Summer Vacation has been great so far. While I've been enjoying school еще since I've gained a couple of friends, it's nice to have a break from it. I also received some exciting news. On July 9, I am going to be in Chicago to see The Devil Wants Peace in concert! I was so excited when my uncle told me he was able to afford the tickets. I later told my friend, Michael, "You should have seen me when my uncle told me the good news. I was jumping up and down, crying tears of joy." Normally, I'm not that excitable, but The Devil Wants Peace is one of my Избранное bands. Since I was six, I dreamed of seeing them live, and now, I can stop dreaming. This dream is becoming a reality. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet them, but the fact that I'm lucky enough to see them is great.

I ran the mile in gym class today. I ran it quickly, because I wanted to get it over with. Unfortunately, I ran it еще quickly than I should have. I felt awful afterwards. I was walking to my Далее class. Michael said, "Grace, Ты don't look so good. Are Ты okay?" I said, "No, not really." He asked what was wrong. I said, "I feel a little dizzy." The Далее thing I knew, I woke up in the nurse's office with Michael standing Далее to me, looking anxious. I said, "Oh, my God. What happened?" He said, "You fainted." I said, "I did?" The nurse said, "You did." I said, "Oh, God. How long...

Friday the 13th is associated with bad luck, but I think today, I had good luck. I have made Друзья with two kids in band, Michael, who plays the tuba, and Sabrina, who plays the flute. The three of us seem to get along really well. They're Фаны of the Beatles and The Devil Wants Peace, just like me. They're so nice, too. They were also impressed with the fact I can play multiple instruments: saxophone, guitar, bass, and piano. When it was time to go home, the saw me and said, "See Ты Monday, Grace!" I said, "Yeah, if not before then." They laughed. I'm glad that my luck is changing....

My birthday is normally a good day, but today was a bad birthday. It started when I was going downstairs for breakfast. Halfway down, I realized I left my glasses in my bedroom. I attempted to turn around and go back, but I Остаться в живых my footing and tumbled backwards down the stairs. I didn't get hurt, but it scared the crap out of me. It scared my aunt, too.

While I was doing my classwork, one of my classmates threw a paper airplane at me. It contained a nasty...

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...

It was summer, but Joanna couldn't enjoy it. Because of her taste in Музыка and her beliefs, she faced criticism. Not only was she being knocked down by school mates and neighbors, she was also facing criticism from her own family, save for her parents. One day, she сказал(-а) to herself, "I can't take it anymore. I have to run away. I doubt anyone will miss me when I'm gone." Without a секунда thought, she ran into the forest behind her house.

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...

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?"

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. An eighth grader by the name of Joanna is one of the different ones. Because she was a dissenter, one who disagrees with the bible-thumping Puritans, she was often bullied. One day, she was beaten. 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.

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.

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!

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.
