One winter day I watched the KCTV-5 news. We were supposed to have two feet of snow. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Hi! I'm Chase. I live in Lee's Summit, Missouri. I work for the Public Works here in Lee's Summit. I drive the snow plows and plow the street. So, back to the story.
My work calls and says you will work 24 hours and then get off for 12 hours and then come back for 24 more hours. And they said it is because I have to pre-treat all the side roads that I take care of. So I get in my truck and drive to the Public Works Station.
Then when I got there I got donuts because it was 12:00 a.m. I get in my Snowplow and go. The bulldozer dumps two shovels full of salt. Then I go to the roads. I go by Sunset Valley salting the roads then come back down the road. I go through a neighborhood at two in the morning. I see flakes and they call us back in.
I heard that at 6:00 school was cancelled because there was two inches of snow. But we were waiting for the snow to stop. The snow stops around 1:00 a.m. We go out and start plowing all the streets then we come back. The next day we have the big trucks shovel the rest of the side streets. Then when we get done, we head back. Then we wait for another storm. Till then, bye.
May be continued.

BOOK 1: IDENTITY THEFT
Book 1: Identity Theft
I was walking home from school, looking down at my phone when I was knocked to the ground. "Hey! Watch where you're-" I start to say but stop staring into the eyes of a huge man. He was probably six feet, seven inches tall, with dark skin. His bald head glinted in the sun light. If I hadn't been looking at my phone I would've noticed him, because he was wearing a gray three-piece suit. He reached out with his hand to help me up, but as he did he twisted me around, binding my hands with a ziptie. As he did so, a florists van pulled up, the door slid open and I was pushed in the back. I felt a sharp pinch in the forearm, and with a shock, realized I was being drugged. The world spun and the last thing I saw was the door sliding shut.
I woke up with a blinding white light in front of me, and for a moment of complete horror, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. But then, the large man from the street broke through the light. "Hello, Andy Keelman," Says the man. "Who are you?" I ask. "My name is Albert O'Leary," He says, "You're going to tell us what we want to know. If you resist, well, we have our ways." I see the shining silver blade appear from his sleeve. "Ok. You've obviously got me confused with someone else. I'll just be leaving," I say as I try to stand up, but am forced down by the cuffs encircling my wrists. "Not today, I'm afraid," says Albert as I am injected with the drug again.
"Hmmmm...." Says the man behind the desk. "Apparently that was someone's real identity that we get to our agent," He says. "Yessir," the man in black combat gear says. "What do you propose we do about it?" he asks. "Well, Nigel, I suggest you find the person who is responsible for this and see that he is fired." he replies. "What about the boy? It is our fault." Nigel, the man in combat gear says, "I've decided to give that task to you." The man only referred to as sir says, "Yessir, I will assemble a task force immediately." Nigel says. "Dismissed, Nigel," he says.
When I wake up, I see that the blinding white light was just a lamp, and I'm in some sort of interrogation room. The door opens, and Mr. O'Leary walks in. "Good morning, Andy," he says as if this were routine. I say nothing, secretly working out an escape plan in my head. "Still clammed up, huh?" He asks, "Look, I'm not who you-" I say as he lunges forward and presses the dull end of his knife against my throat, cutting my sentence off. I swing my leg upward, in between his and send him sprawling, the knife spinning into the air. Somehow, I manage to catch it, in between my teeth.
I'm a black belt in Karate, so my kick had a lot of force behind it. I flip the knife into my hand, the blade facing me, and start cutting the cuffs. Albert tries to stand up, but I kick him again, hopefully knocking him out. I'm out of the cuffs in a couple of minutes. I stand up and notice some papers on a table. I go over to them and skim over them briefly. These people think I work for the CIA! I see a picture and it looks exactly like me. My identity was stolen by the CIA. That's just great. I walk over to Albert, and pull a ring of keys off his belt. I slip the knife into a belt loop on my jeans. I make my way over to the door, stick a key in, turn it, and twist the knob.

Who Am I? by Courtney, 6-W
Who Am I?
"Where am I?" I looked around only getting the blank white walls as an answer. Then a little video showed in my mind...
I was running, running in a never-ending dead tree forest. It was dark, no stars or moon. The trees looked like they had hungry faces, their limbs were like hands reaching for me, to pull me in their starving mouths. All of a sudden I tripped and fell to the wet cold ground, then everything, every insect, every flying animal sound was gone.
My image was gone, interrupted by an old lady and man, staring at me. I tried to regain my voice only coming up with silence. The woman mumbled something that was quiet for me to hear. Just then the old man said something a little louder. I only made out "...I don't know what happened...You tell me."
I was thinking he was answering to the old quiet woman. Then I heard a quiet sound. I realized it was me. I was trying to speak. They both looked at me. Just then they said, "Are you okay, honey? You had a terrible accident." She said it in a calm voice.
"Speak child." the old man said in a very deep voice.
"Where am I?" I said in a weak little voice.
"You're at the doctor's, of course." said the lady.
"Who are you? Who am I?"
"We are your Grandma and Grandpa."
"But, who am I?"
"That's not important now, the doctor will give us the news."
"Just then a young looking doctor came in. "She's fine. She can go home today."
"Thank You, Thank You!" my grandma and grandpa said in unison.
"No problem, you can pay at the front."
Once the doctor left I shouted, "Where are my Mom and Dad?!"
My grandpa spoke this time, "Honey, Elen, they're dead."

SEASONS
SEASONS
First I'll start with my favorite season, which and why? I'll tell you the reason. I'm starting with Summer. When the sun is so bright and the food is so yummer. I love to camp be with buds and chams. With the 4th of July there's another holiday it's the best of all called my Birthday.
Now to fall when the leaves start to turn, and in school we start to learn. Now to great Halloween, with candy, ghosts, and lots of jelly-beans. But that's not the only holiday when your belly gets full thanksgiving's there to fill up your bowl.
Winter is when outside's cold! When there's snow on the ground it looks so bold. Then Christmas is here gifts and joy, the kids get candy and more than one toy. But now it's New Years the World has turned, this year there will be more to learn. Now it's love day candy, flowers don't forget hearts love has increased according to charts.
Finally it's Spring here comes the Easter Bunny the eggs we make can be awesome or funny. Well that's my poem they're all right here the awkward thing is we do it all again next year.

NATURE
The birds are chirping.
The sun is shining.
The bunnies are hopping.
The trees are rustling.
The leaves are falling.
And that's what fall is.
Snow is falling.
The air is cold.
Nothing on the trees.
Not much going on.
Bears are in a cave.
Moles are in a mound.
That is what winter is like.
The eggs are hatching.
The snow is melting.
Everything is green as far as the eyes can see.
The air is cool.
The trees are budding.
That is what Spring is like.
The air is warm.
I hear a storm.
The trees are green.
The lightning bugs are cut.
The Sun is long.
Everything's awake.
That's what Summer is like.

THE FIGHT DAY
CHAPTER 1
Hey! My name is Madeline. Yeah, you think that's strange, don't you? If not, then, thank you! Because this is a story you will never forget. I know I will never forget the moment of the reaping that my younger sister Ali's name was called. Then I yelled, "I volunteer to go in the Bloody Games." And that was the weirdest part of my life.
There in the reaping there is a boy and a girl that go into the Bloody Games. The boy who got picked out was a boy named Conner J. Manning. Madeline knew Conner from school. He is the major's son.
Submitted by Conner. (I believe 6-W, but it wasn't written on the paper.) *grin*

PIZZA PRINCESS
There once was a princess that loved pizza. But one day she loved it so much that she climbed out of the tower and got a job at the pizza shop. But one day she opened the shop and ate all the pizza. When her boss came in and saw no pizza and the princess sleeping on a booth in his restaurant he woke her up and said, "You have amazing eating habits." The princess tiredly asked what he was talking about and she said "I'll make more pizza." He asked how many pizzas I ate, I sadly said, "14 pizzas." The Boss said, "Wow. 14 whole pizzas!"
Then he took her to the pizza eating contest. She loved it so much she came every year. But one year she came early and ate all the pizza. So then they had to run to the store but they were out of pizza, so they bought ice cream. Then the princess loved ice cream so much she live in the ice cream shop. But soon she got fat so she became in love with asparagus. Then she got skinny. So now she eats pizza everyday forever!

BASKETBALL by Zavian, 6-W
Introduction
The score is 17-19, 1 second left, Panthers called timeout, the coach said we need to put all our shooters in. We need to hurry up and shoot. If we make it we go to the championship game. So Zach rolled the ball down the court because the time doesn't start till he picks up the ball. Josh picks the ball up, passes it to Alex, he shoots, the ball is circling around the rim and...
Chapter 1
Here I am at practice, sweating like crazy. My coach "Come on guys, we got to keep hustling to go to the championship." It is the first round of the playoffs. We play this team called the Tigers. We beat them in the regular season but not by a lot. After my practice, my coach pulled us all together. My coach says, "Oh, everybody, regular season is over and when we get on the court tomorrow, I want you guys to leave everything out there. Ok?"
Chapter 2=Quarter Final Game
When my team got to the game we started to stretch. We had one game in front of with 1 min. left in the game. When that game was over my team ran out onto the court. We always start with layups then we usually go to 3 man weave. When the game started, my coach said, "K, here's our starting lineup. Ronell, Zach, Zavian, Tyler, and Dakota." When we get out there we get in place and jump the ball. We get the tip and the game began. My team scored right after the tip so we're on defense now. We go to full court, 1-3-1, and they couldn't handle it. We kept on stealing the ball and scoring and at half time the score was 25-10. After half time it was just getting boring. The final score was 40-20.
Chapter 3: Semifinal Game
That same day we had to come back and play another game. Now this team is way better than the one we played earlier. Well, the same starters came in this time. We didn't win the tip but our team went straight to a 1-3-1 again. Now they handled this 1-3-1 better and their one ball handler kept getting past us. That's when my coach yelled out "GO TO A BOX OF ONE." So we did and that stopped them till it was half time.
When half time was over my coach put 2nd strings in to start. They did really, in fact they did so good that they finished the game. Well we won 30-17. Now we're off to the championship!

THE TALKING CHEESE
Hi! I'm a piece of cheese. My life is so boring. I just sit here in the refrigerator. Only once was I out there but I had gotten a chunk eaten off me. It's off my side then I just got put back in. After I went for several weeks.
My Mom had been eaten when I was just a baby. So now I'm an orphan all alone now. These past months I have been planning to go outside again. My only friend is milk carton, he might come. I can't wait to go though.
Anyway, after my adventure I plan to come back. I am packing food, water, clothes, pillow, and blanket. When I come back I hope people will like me. If not I don't mind. I'll still have milk carton.
Next, the fridge opened! Cheese and milk jumped and ran as fast as they could. They finally reached a window and jumped out. The ground was covered with snow everywhere. Cheese and milk couldn't feel their bones. They couldn't move an inch.
Cheese said, "It was nice knowing you."
Milk said, "You too."
But just then someone picked them up. They brought them inside. Last they were home again. Back in their refrigerator.

THE PENNY
Penny, Penny, Penny
A penny yes I am.
I've been kicked around,
and tossed around,
all from hand to hand.
You wouldn't believe all the places I've been in,
Baby Mouth's, Cardboard Cutouts,
I'm about the size of a pea.
But the Penny, penny, penny,
The penny is the life for me.

A FAIRY TALE
Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess named Grace. Grace was four feet tall and two feet wide. Grace hated peas so much that when she was forced to eat them that she threw up all over the place. One day at lunch her Mother, the Queen, made Grace eat peas. When the Queen left, the princess was about to eat a pea. The pea came to life. It was a prince. The prince's name was Zach. Zach was five feet tall and four feet wide. Grace and Zach fell in LOVE.
On the day of the wedding the princess was at the church walking down the aisle, when Grace looked up and saw that Zach was not there. Grace started to run away crying her eyes out. The next day Grace went to look for Zach. On the way down the hill she saw a frog. When she was talking the frog said, "Hello, my name is Dexter." Grace said, "My prince?" The frog answered yes. Grace was in shock. The frog said, "Kiss me and I will turn back into a prince." So Grace kissed the frog. After Grace kissed the frog, it turned into the ugliest prince you have ever seen. When Grace saw him she said "You must NOT be the prince I almost married at the church yesterday!" Grace just walked away. The prince said, "What is the problem with the way I look?" Everyday that ugly prince got bullied. Grace made fun of the prince because of the way he looked. When the Queen found out that Grace was being a bully she got really upset. So upset that the Queen made Grace eat peas, tell the ugly prince sorry, and marry the ugly prince. When Grace told her friends that she had to marry the ugly prince, they teased her. Then she knew what the ugly prince felt like. Grace saw the ugly prince and told the ugly prince that he was handsome, and she was sorry. The ugly prince asked Grace to marry him. Grace said, "Yes, I would, handsome". The ugly prince turned into a gorgeous prince because somebody was nice to him. And they lived happily every after!!!!!!!

When Grace saw him she said "You must NOT be the prince I almost married at the church yesterday!" Grace just walked away. The prince said, "What is the problem with the way I look?" Everyday that ugly prince got bullied. Grace made fun of the prince because of the way he looked. When the Queen found out that Grace was being a bully she got really upset. So upset that the Queen made Grace eat peas, tell the ugly prince sorry, and marry the ugly prince. When Grace told her friends that she had to marry the ugly prince, they teased her. Then she knew what the ugly prince felt like. Grace saw the ugly prince and told the ugly prince that he was handsome, and she was sorry. The ugly prince asked Grace to marry him. Grace said, "Yes, I would, handsome". The ugly prince turned into a gorgeous prince because somebody was nice to him. And they lived happily every after!!!!!!!

"YO, kid!"
I looked over.
"Can you help me please?"
"Sure," I said to the man.
"How do you make money?"
I looked at the man.
"What?" I said.
"You heard me."
I looked at the man.
"Well, let's see..." I said.
"You have to get a job." I told the man.
I left.
"Wait Up!!!"
I turned around.
"What?"
"How do I get a job?"
"You have to ask and fill out a form." I said.
"Oh" said the man.
"Yeah" I said and walked off.
Then I realized it was my brother.
"What an idiot," I mumbled.
When my brother got home he was talking how a kid looked exactly like me.
"That was me." I said.
"Oh yeah."
"Whatever" I said and walked off.

THE ADVENTURES OF PHILL & TOM, THE DISABLED ALIENS FROM NEW JERSEY
There once were two aliens from New Jersey. One was named Phill and the other was named Tom. Both Phill and Tom's legs were paralyzed, so they had to crawl around on their hands like seals, dragging their legs behind them. Since both of them were aliens they could not speak English language. They only thing they say is "murp", so it is hard to communicate with humans.
You must be wondering how two aliens are from New Jersey. Well, I'll tell you. It all started out on a planet called Omagocumanagujopi, it was getting sucked up into a black hole, so Phill and Tom's Mother and Father got into a U.F.O. and started off to a planet they heard was called Earth. Phill and Tom were both alive in the U.F.O. but they were newborns. Alien newborns don't open their eyes for two weeks and Phill and Tom were a week and six days old so they were one day away from opening their eyes. So as you know Phill and Tom had no idea about their planet being sucked into a blackhole and being in the U.F.O. The day before Phill and Tom were going to open their eyes. The U.F.O. reached Earth, Phill and Tom's parents decided to land on the state of New Jersey. When they were about ten minutes away from landing, they saw a missile fly right by them. Apparently they were being shot at by missles from the U.S. Army. They were flying by the U.F.O. barely missing them. Then the U.S. Air Force sent in attack jets to shoot them down. Finally one missile caught the left side of the U.F.O. and it started plummeting toward New Jersey. It landed on an open field and Phill and Tom's parents crawled off with Phill and Tom's in arms. They walked over to an old abandoned barn and set down Phill and Tom in some hay. They noticed the babies had scratches on their lower backs and lets and hoped it did not affect their walking. The parents were badly inured with scratches, bruises, and bumps. They looked outside and saw it was getting dark so they found some comfortable hay and fell asleep painfully and never woke again.

Oh No! by Alexis, 6-W
I don't even remember my name. All I remember is two lights coming straight at me. Then, I blacked out.
Now I am stuck in this EVIL hospital. I hate it! I feel like I am in a white cube with now way out! Of course, there is a way out, but I can't get out of this hospital bed. Nobody knows that I am in here yet. The doctors are getting ready to call my parents. I can't wait to talk to them! I bet they are worried sick! That stupid driver. I was in a car accident. A drunk driver hit me head-on. Oh, my nurse just told me that she found out my name from my parents. My name's Mandi. Woah! Someone who I don't remember just walked into my room! Wait, I think I know her! She's........Nope, don't know her!
"Hi Mandi!" the girl said. "I am your homeroom teacher. Your parents just called me and told me about your accident. I am so sorry. What did you hurt?"
"I broke my right leg and my left arm. I also don't remember anything!"
"Oh my! WEll, I can't wait to see you back at school! Oops! I almost forgot. My name is Ms. Smith. See you later, Mandi!"
I am so glad that she left. The only people I want to see now are my parents.
"Hi Honey! It's your Mom! Your Dad is checking us in. How do you feel? Are you all right? Do you need anything?"
"No Mom! I'm fine. The nurses are really nice here. They are taking great care of me."
"Okay, well, good-bye. I am going to talk to the nurse while your Dad is in here. Love you!"
Okay, so now i just have to wait for my Dad to get here.
"I'm here! I'm your big 'ol Daddy!"
"Hey Dad! Are you the silly one of the family?"
"Well, of course I am! How ya doing, Chipmunk?"
"Chipmunk? Are you talking about me? If you are, then I am fine, but Chipmunk?"
"That's my nickname for you. You loved nuts as a baby. So I nicknamed you Chipmunk!"
"Oh, Okay! I don't remember anything."
"Oh yeah. I get it now! Well, we have to go now. Love ya, Chipmunk."
"Love ya."
Okay, now that they are gone I can ask the nurse how much longer I'll be here.
"You'll probably be able to get out tomorrow. Good night. Sleep well."
TOMORROW! I can get out TOMORROW! That is like...like a miracle! I can't wait!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I get to go home today (with a cast on my arm, leg, and I have to be wheeled around)! My Mom is here! Yes!
"Let's go! Come on honey!!"
"Okay, Mom."
So, she wheeled me down to.....the car.
"No way am I getting into that car!" I exclaimed, scared!
"Yes you are if you want to go home."
"Fine! I'll get in the car!"
So, I stepped into the car and as soon as we settled down and started moving, I saw a truck barreling toward us!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Burned by Ashleigh, 6-W
Intro.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be the ruler or king/queen of a city full of normal people or odd like mythical creaters? Well, I'm going to tell you how I became ruler of mythical gods in a very small town with a population of 1,200 people. Oh, and by the way, my name is Jordan.
Chapter 1
My friend looked down at my arm and asked what happened. I had absolutely no clue what she was talking about. "You have a huge burn shaped a little like a spiral." she told me. "Wow. Where did that come from?" I replied. She had asked me what happened, again and I said, "I have no idea! I swear!" Then she asked if I had been near anything hot or if someone did it to me. I said, "I have not been anywhere that has had something that could burn me. And no! No one could have done this to me." She asked, "Has there been anything weird happening to you?" "Well, everyday when I get off the school bus at home, I feel like someone walks in my paths. But only when I head home. Then a little later, I was sitting down in my basement watching Mean Girls 2, the movie. I fell asleep and I felt a little pain." Then we were done talking because she left. To the school bus where I would have to get off in five minutes and go through all the expinents (experiments?) again.

Journal 1 by Kendall, 6-W
The epidemic was deadly, so were the Hales. The Hales were a group of Scientists that used their knowledge for evil and terrorism. Yet, their greatest act of terrorism was the Quil Bomb. The Quil Bomb was a bomb rigged to explode every hour. It was indistructable. Every time it exploded it did not explode by fire or electricity. I explosion was of minds. The Quil Bomb tore people apart by the threads of their minds. Once set the Quil Bomb exploded twenty-two times until it ran out of power. Though the people were thankful, the bomb had another secret...a deadly one. It infected just one person, it could kill thirty more. The epidemic the bomb spread killed of ninety percent of the Earth's population until they came up with an idea. A risky one too...

Chapter 1: WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME
Tonight we have a story written by Josh, 6-Z. Josh submitted the first story to the blog a few months ago, and gave me a new story to post yesterday at school. I took time to read it, and at the end he leaves us hanging, but I hope that just means that there is more to the story that we will read in months to come! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Wrong Place, Wrong Time
Hey, my name is Andrew-Andrew Bitz-I have always been a good kid, but with the wrong crowd. This story will be a good example. My crew and I were walking down the street after we just got done trash talkin' some kids. Well, one of them called the police on us, so good thing I run track. We ran into an alley and hid in the shadows. After about ten minutes, we walked out. When we finally realized it was dark out, we decided to start walking home. As we were walking John King saw us--the school bully--and had the nerve to walk up to us.
"What's up little wanna-be gangsters", he said. That's when my friend Carlos decided to pull a gun on him. The first shot was when I made a run for it. Chris-my other friend-was right behind me. Carlos was just staring at John's limp body. I was almost home when I heard the sirens. They were maybe a mile away, but they could also go 70 mph. I could only go 7 mph. That's when I finally realized I'm 17 and can be put in jail. That's when I turned and hid in the alley. I jumped in the hearest trash can and sat down. My mind was racing to fast I thought I was going to black out. I didn't, so I thought for a second, "If they don't catch Carlos, or Chris, and I get caught, I will have first-degree murder against me." I thought out loud!
"Hey, who's there?" the officer said.
Now I was really flippin' out. Then all of a suddent the trash can lid flung open. The last thing I remember was, "You have the right to remain silent."
