My Puppy That's Fat

Hello, my name is Jack. I am obsessed with fat dogs and I am very sad today. It all started 4 years ago. I kept bugging my parents to get a dog for me. At last my parents say when you get home there will be a dog for you. So I went to school and all day I was thinking of a fast, thin, excited dog. So after school, on the bus, I was imagining what kind of dog my parents will get me. Then I get off the bus, run inside, and see a fat dog laying on the floor, upside down. At first it felt like I was about to cry, but later at dinner I realized how cute my wiener dog is. Oh yea, I forgot to tell you, it's a fat, fat, wiener dog. So over the years I realized how cute my puppy is and I wanted it to get even fatter. So I feed it more food. About a week ago, we took our dog to the vet for it's yearly check up, but they found something wrong. This wiener dog is 70 pounds, when it's supposed to be 10 pounds.

THE LOSER CLUB

I slowly ate my cereal because I knew that I would have to go to school and face...them. Every day that I went to school, I was teased by them about anything they felt was wrong with me. It could be my shoes, my hair, anything. I don't even know what I did to them. As soon as I started middle school, they attacked me.

I was walking to my first period class when...

"Hey, check it out. It's the captain of the Loser Club! How many times do I have to tell you, Olivia? Stay out of my way!"

That was Collette, or Cloe for short. I call her Collette just to bug her.

"Stop bugging me, Collette!" I said.

"Don't call me that! You know that I absolutely hate that name! Call me Cloe or I'll make your life miserable."

"Well, it doesn't matter because you already are making my life miserable!"

"Well, how about we all make your life miserable?"

Then, Collette's two "friends" came around the corner. They're Michelle and Rachel.

"Yeah! Let's make her so miserable that she will have to stay home and away from school!" exclaimed Rachel.

"No, no, no. That's not necessary." said Michelle.

She's the nice one, but she doesn't act that way around the other two.

"Yeah. Michelle is right. That's a little too miserable, but we can make it to where she is afraid to leave her first class and go to her next classes," said Collette.

*Rrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggggg!*

"Oh, come on! We have to get to first period or we'll get detention...again. See you, Loser!" yelled Collette as she ran the wrong hallway. I ran into my class just as the last bell rang.

"Almost late again, Miss Goldfield," Ms. Chamber, my teacher, said.

"Sorry Ms. Chambers. Sorry for the delay!" I said dramatically, dropping my heavy books on my desk.

"Please don't do it again," said Ms. Chambers.

"Yes, Ms. Chambers. I'm sorry."

"Alright class, let's talk math."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked out of first period, terrified. I started running to my locker. Just as I had arrived, Collette, blocked my locker so I couldn't get into it.

"Oh?! Is somebody trying to put their books away?? I-"

"More like NOBODY!!!!" laughed Rachel.

I don't think you're going to, Loser," Collette said, while the others giggled. "Um..... Well, you have to go get your books or you'll be late and get DETENTION!!!!!!!!" I explained.

"We asked to go to the bathroom soon before the bell rang and really went to our lockers and got our books so we could trap you....here," explained Collette.

The school principal started walking down the hallway so Collette and her "crew" pretended they were just walking by. I escaped the rest of the day without anymore encounters. But on my walk home....

"Hey, captain of the Loser Club!! Where do you think you're going?? Michelle, go tease her while I talk to little Miss Blabbermouth over here!!" exclaimed Collette.

"Will do," said Michelle.

So, Michelle walked over to me and pulled me into an alley.

"Listen! Before you start teasing me or anything, let me just say something," I said. "Please just tell me why you guys hate me so much! I don't understand what I did to deserve this kind of torture. I can't even walk home without being ambushed by a group of...BULLIES!!!! It's unfair! Explain to me what I did wrong! Please!!!!!!"

"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything to you! I don't even know why I'm in her "crew". I don't get it! She randomly chooses people in the halls to RUIN other people's lives!! She does the same thing for the victim. She'll go around and pick people who she can torture. I'm so sorry. I never would have done this except for the fact that if I didn't she would torture me more than she tortures you! Oh! I hear her coming. Think of something sad and start crying! Please!"

"How bad did you tease her?" asked Collette, with a smirk on her face. "Oh, I teased her a little. Not too bad though.," replied Michelle.

I ran to the corner of the dead end alley and pretended to cry until actual tears started coming out of my eyes.

"Well, you got her in the corner crying. I'd say you slapped her or something! You're amazing. Oh. We're going to have to look for a new crew member. I kicked Rachel out for talking to the principal and mentioning me torturing Olivia.

"Did you get into trouble?" asked Michelle.

"No, she didn't mention my name, just that she new me. Okay, time for some torture. Come here Olivia."

Not knowing what was going to happen next I walked over and Collette said......

"Now don't tell anyone what I'm doing to you or I'll do this every period, everyday, all year long."

Next, she slapped me in the face and kicked my ankle. I cried out in pain, grabbed my backpack, and started limping home.

"See you later, Captain Loser of the Loser Club. Oh! And don't forget, don't tell anyone!"

"Why did you do that? That was horrible! You're a cruel freak! I quit! I'm walking home with Olivia and never talking to you again! Wait up, Olivia!" exclaimed Michelle (I told you she was nice).

I turned around and saw MIchelle running towards me saying, "Wait up!" Then I looked behind her and saw Collette standing there with her mouth hanging open.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, I walked into school and there was NO Collette, but I still walked into the principal's office that afternoon.

"Hello, Ms. Goldfield. How are you today?" asked our principal, Mr. Rowe.

"Not awesome, but better. Collette Burn has been bulling me and slapped and kicked me in an alley yesterday, after school. She also teases me here in school," I explained.

Mr. Rowe looked like he would pass out. He was freaking out!!

"She did WHAT?!?! I can't believe it! Since it is Thursday, she will be suspended on Friday and might have other punishments. I can't believe that she would do such a thing! Thank you, Olivia, for telling me!! I'll see you later."

"Alright Mr. Rowe. Have a nice day."

I left feeling better now that I had told someone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, I never really talked to Collette and she didn't talk to me either. I went the rest of my school years never talking to her, but now, at age 26, we talk all of the time. She said she was sorry and we became friends. Great friends.

If you are being bullied, tell a trusted adult. The bully could apologize and even become one of your best friends.

THE LAST OF THE ANNOYING ORANGE

Hi. I'm Pear. Yes, literally a pear. And my friends and I are going to tell you about the most annoying orange we ever met. It was late afternoon when an orange plopped right onto the counter. He started talking to us and wouldn't stop. We told him to quit but he wouldn't listen. So soon enough we all started to call him the "Annoying Orange." The orange always made fun of people.

Then the next day a big watermelon was plopped onto the kitchen counter. Afterwards the orange said, "Wow, you're huge and have big hips!" The watermelon replied, "I don't have big hips!" The annoying orange said, "Yes you do watermelon." "No I don't," said the watermelon. Then the annoying orange said, "Yes you do." Then the watermelon said, "Well if I have big hips then you're the size of a grape." Well that got the orange going. "So what, at least I don't have big hips, big hips, big hips, big hips!" Then the watermelon said, "Stop that!" "Big hips!" "STOP!" "Big hips, big hips, big hips, big hips, big hips!" "Why don't you shut up? The rumors are true, you are the most annoying orange in the world." So the annoying orange said, "Well at least I don't have big hips." "Stop saying I have big hips!!!" said the watermelon.

Finally something grabbed the annoying orange. It had tentacle type things that were grasping around the orange. Then it also had these weird lines on it. We all decided to call it the "hand." Anyway, it grabbed the orange and sliced him in half. Then it juiced the orange and that was the last anyone ever saw of the "Annoying Orange."

The Baseball Card

Prolouge
There was a baseball card, a Hank Aaron signed rookie card, and there were three kids that would kill for it. Jackson, Dwayne, and Brett. They were going to have a big battle for the card. Before I can tell you that, I have to tell you this.

Chapter 1
Jackson, Dwyane, and Brett were all friends who loved baseball. Jackson had a Willie Mays card. Dwayne had a George Brett card. Brett had the best of them all, a Babe Ruth card.

"Hey Brett, I'll trade you a Mamy Ramirez card for your Randy Johnson card," Dwayne asked.

"No way, Dude," Brett said.

"Dude, check it out!"

"What is it?"

What is the thing Brett saw? He saw a billboard for two brand-new baseball cards that just came out. A signed Hank Aaron rookie card and a David Ortiz signed rookie jersey card. Once Dwayne saw that billboard he said, "I call dibs on the David Ortiz card." Then Dwayne ran out the door.

Chapter 2
Once Dwayne got back, he said, "I got it. I got it!" Dwayne put the David Ortiz card in a thing of 1 inch thick glass. Then, he put it in a safe for extra protection. "One card left." Jackson said.

The Hank Aaron card is all the way in California. "We are going to have to get a car to get us all from Arizona to California," Brett said.

"Don't worry, guys, my Dad has a BMW he said I could borrow any time," Dwayne said. It took the trio 18 hours to get from Arizona to California. Once they got there, a guy on the side of the road gave them a map on how to get to the place where the baseball card was held at. Once they got there, twenty other people were waiting to get the card.

"Dang, man, the card doesn't come out for another 2 weeks," Jackson said.

"What do you guys want to do then?" Brett asked.

"I say we go to a baseball card store that's not this place," Dwayne suggested.

When they got to Greg's card store, they found a huge assortment of cards. When they went over to the display case, they couldn't believe their eyes.

It was a Dan Quisenberry signed card! They asked Greg how much it is and he said that is $520.00.

"I don't think we can buy it," said Brett.

"We can, we have $2,000 dollars," Jackson said.

Once they paid for the card, they went back to their car, but it wasn't there.

"Where did the car go?" Dwayne asked.

After they looked for the car for two hours, they went to the cafe that was right across the street. When they got in there, a news reporter asked them if they wanted to buy a Joe Dimaggio rookie card for $600.00.

"We'll take it," Brett decided.

"WAIT!!!" Jackson yelled.

"What is it?" Dwayne asked.

After they talked about it, they decided that they would buy the card.

Once they finished eating, they went to a hotel because it was 9:00pm. A bellhop asked them if they wanted to buy a Jackie Robinson jersey baseball card for $280.00.

"The Hank Aaron card costs $700.00," Jackson said.

"We'll still have enough to get the Hank Aaron card if we buy this card," Dwayne said.

So they bought the card and spent the night at the hotel. The next morning they went out to look at baseball card stores. When they bought the Jackie Robinson card, the bellhop gave them $1,200.00 for getting more cards. When they got to Bob's Bargains, he had a display case full of baseball cards. After they looked at all of the baseball cards, they found it.

THE MIRACLE BABY

When my baby sister was born, she had something wrong with her lungs. She had trouble breathing. She was in the hospital for a whole year! It was very hard for my family. The hospital that she was in said that they couldn't treat her anymore, so they had to transport her to a hospital in St. Louis.

The doctors at that hospital asked my Mom and Dad if they wanted her to die in their arms. That made my parents cry, but my Dad just said, "You get in that room and do everything you can do."

Before they did surgery on her, the doctors said to my parents that if they did the surgery that she would have a 97% chance of dying. After the surgery, the doctor said, "I'm sorry, but your daughter is perfectly fine."

She is fine now. She is the wildest kid I know now.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

There was a girl named Aleah. She was in 6th grade. She is really nervous about 7th grade. She was scared that she would forget what her locker code is, or forget where her classes are. But her brothers said, "Don't worry about it, it will be fine, you'll do great. You won't mess up on anything."

For people who are in 6th grade and going into 7th grade and you are scared about it, don't worry, you'll do great. I'm in 6th grade and I'm happy I'm going into 7th grade. Don't worry, you'll do great.

LOVE HURTS & ROCKS

Love is like rain drops.
It drops to the floor really fast.
Love is like a riot it goes by really slowly and hurts.
Love is like shoes you wear them and then you forget about them.

Love is beautiful, you think it's your shoes.
I'll be your Summer if you be my Winter.
If you like me or hate me,
I'll always shine.
Love does hurt & rock.

RUNAWAY CHILD

The year is 2573, my name is Allison, I am fourteen years old, and my parents are freaks. I am not joking, my mother has four legs and my Dad has three eyes. Crazy, I know but it's true, both my parents were born from real aliens. Everyone laughs at me because of my parents. Brianna is my only true friend because she doesn't laugh and she stands up for me. Right now I am just sitting in my room playing with my cat, Jesse. One second, my Mother has to tell me something.

Oh my gosh. Well, that was a fine howdy do. I just learned I am adopted by freaks! I go and ask my so called Mom where my real parents are and tells me they live in Paris, which is farther away than I live in Michigan. Yeah, I know they still have the same states and countries after all these years. My "Mom" also said that when I was born, they had to leave me in Michigan because a war was going on back home in Paris. After all of these years they haven't come for me! Then she tells me my real parents haven't come for me because they thought I would just be happy here. What were they thinking? That I would be happy? No way because I have been teased forever about my "parents." I mean they're nice but my fake Mom doesn't get what is going on in my life such as school, friends, and snobby girls.

Then my Dad just stares at the wall which is easy for him because he has three eyes. Next I came up with a plan to escape to Paris. I make a list of what I need: food, water, clothes, a passport, and money. I realize I will have to call my adoptive parents and visit them but I think it is time.

Another thing I had to plan was how I was going to tell my "parents." Then I decide I am going to leave in one week on Friday. "Dinner Time!" my Mom yells. MMM, I smell tacos. I love tacos. When I go downstairs I realize my Dad is home from work.

"Hey Dad," I said.

"Hi Allisaon," he said.

And that was the end of our conversation. Yep, very talkative Dad I have. I ate three tacos and they were so good. After dinner I went upstairs and finished my list. Wow I am so tired. Good night.

FALLOUT

Today I would like to welcome Nick to the blog. Nick wrote an interesting story about a bomb in the future. It is a very creative story that I enjoyed, and I'm sure you will too! He leaves us hanging, but that's okay, I still liked it! ENJOY!!!

The year is 2517. We're in a war with the Chinese. Vault (spelling?) decided to make Vaults considering that the Chinese have nuclear weapons when people hear that the bomb hit Washington they loaded people into the Vaults.

JACK
We were fortunate enough to reserve a place in a vault. We are going to Vault 101. Some people didn't reserve a spot and will probably die when the bombs go off.

400 YEARS LATER
NICK
Happy Birthday son, said Dad. Thanks, I said. The overseer Doc Holiday said every boy & girl are ten once in their life and they have responsibilities. So I present you with pipbay. This is like a computer on your wrist and Happy Bday. Then we took a picture...

8 YEARS LATER
Alarms go off. I wonder what's happening and one of my friends, Madison, walks up to me and says, "NIck, your Dad is gone. He said. He escaped the Vaults."

"What? No one has been in or out in 400 years, when my great, great, great Grandpa Jack was reserving a spot and how did he get out?" I said.

"I don't know and they killed Doctor Jackson," Madi said.

Doctor Jackson was one of my Dad's best friends and mine.

"Who did it?" said a group of guards. Because they think that helped your Dad get out.

"And, here's a gun if things get tricky and please, ifyou see my father please don't kill him."

"I"ll try, but if he tries to kill me, what should I do?"

"Kill him if he tries, but at least try not to."

"Ok."

I encountered lots of people but when I came upon the overseer, he tried. I ran. I got to the Vault door and it looked like a giant lug nut with no hole. There was the control panel. I saw the overseer and shot him in the leg to stop him.

I saw Madison. I said, "Good-bye." Maybe if things get better I would come back.

"Okay." said Madison. "I'll try to reach you on ham radio. Bye."

She closed the door as I went out. The outside was a tunnel. I found the door, I went out. The sun was so beautiful but I had to find somewhere to stay. I started following a road and saw what looked like an arena. I went up to the door and there was a robot. I asked, "What's your name? What is this place?"

"This is Megaton, and I'm deputy. Robo, go inside please."

"Okay" I said.

When I went inside I couldn't believe my eyes.

1. An Atomic Bomb.
2. People!

I can't believe there's people I went up to a man who looked like the sheriff. I asked, "Were you in a Vault?"

"Well, you don't want to know my name."

"Oh yeah, sorry. I'm nick, and I'm Sheriff Sims, Lucas Sims."

"What's up with that bomb?"

"Well, it's live and I guess some psychos worship it by they built the town, so be thankful for that."

"Yeah, I could defuse it."

"You could? Ok. I'll pay you 500 caps."

"Uh, what are caps?"

"They're just pop caps that you pay people.

"Oh, ok, I'll check it out."

When I got there, I opened a hatch. And, oh my gosh, noooo.

THE SECRET

"Why? I've known you for so long. You're my friend." I said to the slayer as he holds the stake in one hand and with a clenched fist. That night I almost ended it all, but first I must tell you what happened before.

1-The Lake
I was sitting under a tree, its been 2 months since I came here to this town of Gizley. My school was normal, you had your classes of people, nerds, jocks, outcasts, bullies, cheerleaders, goths, and well, me. I'm not normal to you but I'm normal to my kind...of vampires. I think of my friend as I mindlessly walk too close to the edge of the lakd and fall in, still thinking about him. His blood smelled like my favorite blood type AB Negative. I stay at the bottom of the lake before I see a hand pulling me up. I saw fangs, another vampire? It was...Shawn.

"Shawn, you're a vampire?"

"Yes, I am. Did you not know?"

I don't eat my lunch. I go to my locker and drink there. I look at Shawn too shocked to even imagine him, my own friend, a vampire. Before I could say anything else I felt a sharp pain in my neck.

"Don't you know that I'm a vampire too?! Hult!" I said.

"Yes, I know that. But vampire blood is always the best. When I found out another vampire was here I started hurting. Then you showed up. But don't worry, I only feed on vampires once a year, I don't kill them...most of the time."

It's been at least 4 minutes since he began, and I find myself beginning to fall into a sleep of which I might not return from.

THE JANITOR(?)

I'm walking to school with Joe. I asked him if he could spend the night. He said he'll call his parents at Study Hall. So I'm going to class right, and all the sudden I feel a sting in my leg. I fall to the ground. Wait! What happened? Crowded! I'm crowded!

I'm in the hospital. I already know because I see the doctors come in and tell me I've been shot in my left leg which I already knew. They said I could leave when I wanted.
