Today was the first day of 6th grade. After this boy got kicked out for standing up for himself… L-S was never good at dealing with bullying. To be honest they hardly even cared but this boy had to go through 7 different mental health facilities none of them helped him recover due to him losing himself. He had PTSD, ADHD, Trama, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Depression, and lots of other mental issues…

After all that he got worse over time and it brought his past the thing that haunts him the most. His past is why he is broken, why he isn’t normal, why he hides his feelings, why he puts on a fake smile everyday so no one asks him if he’s ok because when they do he says I’m ok but in those words hides a dark truth to his rage and if that’s not it he’s scared he will hurt them, All that pain his Demons he created them and how do I know this Because that boy is me.

So, one day I was biking with my buddies and we got cheesy fries hot out the oven ( from the pizza shop connected to turkey hill). The person who gave us the fries gave us those little ketchup packets. We got to my buddies house and I took one of the packets and couldn’t open it so ummm next thing I did was dumb. I tried to squirt it through the little hole I made in it but nope it had other plans… it chose to shoot into my bare EYE and burn like fire. I was screaming bloody murder it burned and my eye was bloodshot after. My friends started freaking out Ryan went to get paper towels while Connor and Graycyn just stood there. That wraps it up… the end.

And the day begins with the screaming alarm, and me jumping out of bed. The time is 6:20 A.M. and it is still dark outside. I lay there and try to wake up. I climb out of bed and go to brush my teeth after my teeth are clean I splash my face with cold water to wash it also to wake myself up. After that I get dressed and then go on my computer then get ready to go to school. Then I get my shoes on and then I go to the bus stop and wait…then get on the bus it’s usually a little crowded, it takes around 5-10 mins to get to school. After that I leave the bus and then walk into school, and unpack at my locker of course. Then I go to my homeroom and wait until the bell yells at my classmates to go to 1st period, it’s usually Music, German, Phys Ed, or Tech Ed. After that I usually have ELA for 2nd period. After that is of course 3rd period I have social studies for 3rd period, for 4th period I have Math, and for 5th period I have ELA. I have ELA for 30 minutes until lunch, in the middle of lunch you can either choose to go to recess. If Mr. Yowler calls your table, and their is either indoor recess, or outdoor recess. After recess you go back to 5th period and finish the other half of it. Then… finally the last period of the day 6th period. I have science for 6th period we either have a lab, or worksheets, or watch EdPuzzle. After 6th period I have DA, in DA I usually work on my homework or a project or Membean or occasionally read. After DA when the bell rings I go to my locker, and then pack up then walk to my bus, then I go home. After I walk to my house I go on my Iphone or computer, then eat and go outside to play basketball until it is dark. Then I go back inside and then drink some water, I go and take a shower and then after my shower I go on my phone or computer then I go and read a book for a little and then brush my teeth and floss then go to sleep!

Day One

Click. Thud. Thud. Thud. Slam! We were off. Just my uncle, cousin and I, 8 hours in the car to Cape Cod. Today we would stop at my uncle’s Dad’s house for the night. We had Chick Fil A on the way. Once we were there, we rode dirt bikes. Vroom! Vroom! Thunk. My cousin fell. We decided to call it quits. We went to dinner at a place called Denmos. My cousin and I slept in the Hut. It was an old shed that had been fixed up. Thunk. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

‘’Kenny, Kenny, wake up Kenny.”

When I woke up I was in the hospital my leg was bruised because what I thought was a knife was a knife and a bullet right in the back of my right thigh. I took a quick glance around and saw four FBI agents. They were all in a huddle looking at something shiny. I couldn’t make out what it was but then I heard my mom say.  Kenny, we need to get out of here the man had a tracking device in the knife hurry before he hurts you again.

One day I went to my dad’s friend’s house to spend threenights. My dad met him a mechanic for motorcycles. He was paralyzed from the waist down.  His name is Mike and he allows me to drive his reaser around. And we went to the dirt bike race with his two teens. He Had two dirt bikes and I rode on one then he dropped me off back at the tent. My dad took the razer up the hill and I was with him. Then we got mud all over us we saw nothing we had to stop and clean our helmets. Then wen we got back we went to the dirt track and dive the razer around and jumping it. Then I finally got to ride on my own and I love jumping the bike but it really hard to land in dirt.

On Christmas night there is a little boy named James that live in a tiny house that barely gets any toys for christmas until this one Christmas mearcal. 

James asked for a new baseball bat because his old one is really getting old. He hopes he gets a new baseball bat. When James woke up he grabbed his blanket and ran out the door to go to his parent’s room. He jumped on his parent’s bed and said “wake up Mom and Dad it’s Christmas day”! James ran down the steps as fast as a cheetah and his parent’s where so tired there were like a zombie. James Mom realizes she forgot the camera so she ran to the kitchen countertop next to the outlet plug and grab the camera to record James opening his presents. James Mom made it in time right before James rips his presents in tiny piece where the Christmas tree sits. James saw two presents underneath the Christmas tree, one was small and the other one was bigger than the other one so he decided to open the smaller one it was in a box and the box appears black and the other side was cleared out piece of plastic. 

James gasp “I’T A BASEBALL” and he knew for sure he will get a baseball bat so he ripped up the box and the was a Baseball glove.

Then his dad walked out of the room and said, “Come here, you forgot your Christmas stocking”, so James walked over to the stocking and saw red wrapping paper shape in a cylinder and he opened it. It was the one thing he wanted all along The Baseball Bat.

My school in Puerto Rico was different  from Lampeter-Strasburg. Grades 1-3 went to lunch together and then grades 4-6 went to lunch together. The food was the same for every student we didn’t need to pay so we don’t waste money. When we are done we go outside and play basketball or anything we wanted. The first, second, and third grade had a 1 2 3 bell. It told us when it was time for lunch and recess.   The time outside was one hour for every student and there’s a bell to go inside to the two final classes and then the bus picked us up and took us home.

In the beginning,“This is my final goodbye” Cassy said to her sister. “I am leaving and don’t know if I will be back.”

“ You can’t leave me with him!”

“ What will dad think when he finds out you left? He will go totally nuts, do you remember when mom left?”

*flash back*

They lived in a very old small house. The bathroom mirror was shattered, broken beer bottles were everywhere. The house was cold, dark, dirty dishes were everywhere. Mom tried to keep up but she was tired. She works all day and all night.  She never had any time to clean cook or really do anything. When dad comes home she is scared. You could tell by the look in her face.

“WHAT ARE yOu DoInG in MY HOusE?” he said to mom. “ go away you’re drunk! You need to leave now” she demanded. But he did not listen but instead got mad. He took a step too far and hit mom! “ good bye remember I love you” those were the last words we heard from our mother that day.
