I pulled into the driveway with all the windows and doors locked. Mom's Corvette was parked in my spot, so I parked tiếp theo to it. Unlocking the door, I slowly stepped onto the gravel in my beat up sneakers; grabbing my bag before I shut and locked the door. I walked into the front entrance of my house to find my mom and Dylan on the couch. “Mom, I'm home.” I đã đưa ý kiến loud enough for both of them to hear.
“Oh, uh hi dear. How was your day?” My mom asked be as she got up from the couch, patting her frizzy hair down and straightening her shirt. “Dylan was going to stay for dinner. We brought Chinese food.”
“Good thing bạn bought thực phẩm because the cupboards are bare. bạn really need to go grocery shopping.” I shrugged out of my áo khoác and placed my bag on the end table.
“Yes, I was meaning to go shopping, but then I ran into Dylan and we got to talking. He bought us lunch, then we went to his âm nhạc studio in the tiếp theo town. How about we go eat. bạn look like you're starving.”
We went into the dining room where a big paper bag was waiting. I opened it and smelled the contents. “Yum, we haven't had this in a while.” I said. The truth was, we hadn't had Chinese thực phẩm since mom brought trang chủ Jackson, her trước đó boyfriend. My mom took the thực phẩm out of the bag, while I got some plates. Dylan was behind my mom's already pulled out chair, waiting for her to take a seat. She took a ghế, chỗ ngồi and thanked him. I took my usual ghế, chỗ ngồi on the opposite side of the bàn and Dylan sat beside my mom. “So, Julie, what grade are bạn in now? Grade 11? 12?” Dylan asked me as he passed the rice.
“I'm in grade 11.”
“Are bạn interested in music? Because, as bạn now know, I own the âm nhạc studio in East Wood.”
“I've played the đàn ghi ta, guitar and drums since I was 7 if that counts.” Just then, I got a text. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and flipped it open. It was from Brett:
“They know where bạn are. See bạn soon.”
What was wrong with this guy? Was he trying to freak me out? 'Cause it was working. “What's wrong?” my mom saw the look on my face.
“Nothing.” I put my phone back in my pocket and continued eating.
After the dishes were done and Dylan was gone, I went to my room and sat on the edge of the bed. I opened my phone and texted Sophie.
“Hey, what's new?”
I waited for a response. But got none. That wasn't like her, when I texted her it was a matter of phút before she replied. I got up and walked over to the window. Throwing open the silk curtain, I let the cool breeze flow through my hair. I was enjoying the calming air when I noticed something in the bushes. I squinted to get a better look, but all I could make out was a large black shape with glowing yellow eyes. What is that? I turned around to look for a flashlight and when I turned back, it was gone.

Don't be careless
About the world
Many people are penniless
They have nowhere to go
Generations through generations
Our numbers subtract
Stand up and fight
We are not powerless
Together we unite
And restore our happiness
Come on let's be earnest
We can improve academically
hiển thị that we care
Our people need compassion
We live and love
And we think of above
Forever and ever
We will be together
No matter how wicked
hoặc cruel we can be
We all live and die
In this democracy on Earth

Reality hurts, I have experience
It makes bạn feel free, and then drags bạn to the ground
It tells bạn that everything will be ok
Later it crushes all hope and faith
It makes bạn see what bạn want to see
Let’s bạn feel what bạn want to feel
It puts bạn in those “oh snap” positions
It laughs at bạn in the face for your mistakes
It can help bạn find tình yêu hoặc heartbreak
In the end reality gives bạn the same outcome
The very outcome bạn tried to avoid
Reality doesn’t control me, I refuse to be destroyed
