Flash Fiction

   Lilly was nervous for her first day of sixth grade. She had to leave all of her friends behind in Denver, and was worried about making new ones in Los Angeles. Hopefully everyone was nice to her.
   Jim was so excited for his first day of sixth grade. He was in middle school now. His brother told Jim all about his awesome middle school experiences. Jim rushed outside just in time to catch the bus.
   Lilly walked into her homeroom teacher's classroom five minutes early. She figured it would be good to introduce herself. Mrs. Cunningham was hidden behind at least 40 textbooks. They were labeled "Life Science." Lilly sighed, she hated life science.
   Jim waltzed into Mrs. Cunningham's class a minute after the bell rang. His brother had the same sixth grade teacher. He knew she wasn't strict. Jim was laughing with his friends, when he noticed an unfamiliar face sitting next to the window. He walked toward the girl.
   Lilly took out her notebook while Mrs. Cunningham wrote her name in big swirly letters on the blackboard. She already regretted the seat she had chosen. It was way too bright next to the window.

    I love this story, and it's use of the perspectives of very different characters. I can really relate to Jim, as I was also really excited for my first day school, but made some friends with new kids.

Describe a time when you were very scared

  During last year's flood, our power had gone out. My family didn't worry because we were used to the power being out. Earlier that day, I had gotten a text from a friend that lives in my neighborhood, saying that there were some men going around trying to rob empty houses. I didn't think anything of the text because something like that had never happened in our neighborhood before. I remember it being pretty dark outside, so it must have been around eight pm. I was sitting on the couch with my dog when I heard a bang on the door. Then I saw a shadow pop up in front of the door, along with more banging. My mom rushed my sister and I into her room, while my dad went to investigate.    My mom manually set off the alarm in an attempt to scare away the attempted burglar. I was supposed to call 911. It was my first time every having to call the police. My sister was freaking out, and I was shaking holding the dog. It took the police almost twenty minutes to get to our house, d

What are your best sleepover memories?

My best sleepover memories are from giant birthday party sleepovers with my friends when I was little. My best friend growing up was named Madisan. Her birthday is in early September, so every year she would have tons of girls over for a sleepover. The parties would also have a theme (Camp Rock, Barbie, ect.) and her mom would make a cake, and have cute decorations scattered throughout the house. We always did a craft too; I remember making picture frames, coloring t-shirts with sharpies, and even decorating cupcakes. At the cupcake birthday party, we of course all ran outside to smash them in each others' faces. My favorite sleepover party Madisan ever had was one of her last ones (she always has a birthday party, but now they aren't quite as big). At this party, we planned to "slumber" the first person who fell asleep. Poor Bella fell asleep, and we put shaving cream all over her hair and face. She was so shocked and upset that she had to take a shower in the mi
