The storm whipped the trees outside and she huddled into her quilt. She began to cry and rock back and forward gripping her teddy bear closely.
“Janae, are you woke?” asked Jazzy.
Janae rolled over a few times and then answered, “Man, what you want?”
“Im scared. I can’t go to sleep,” exclaimed Jazzy.
“Get your mp3 player and let your music put you to sleep. We got to get up in the morning and its 2 a.m.,” said Janae.
Jazzy ran to the dresser to grab her mp3 player, and jumped back in the bed. Ten minutes had passed.
“Janae, are you woke?” asked Jazzy.
“Hhhaaa, what do you want Jazzy? Listen here we not fina kept on doing this tonight,” yelled Janae.
“Im sorry, but this is not working. I keep thinking about that night. And don’t say what night either,” said Jazzy.
Janae quickly got up out the bed to comfort Jazzy.
“Baby sis, don’t begin to cry nor think about it. Daddy handled him the right way. You have nothing to worry about,” explained Janae.
It was one night when Jazzy was 7 years old. Janae was out at a friend’s house and momma was at work. It was a rainy night with the tree branches hitting up against the window. It was only Jazzy and Boo-man at home. Boo-man was Jazzy’s momma boy toy.
Boo-man entered the room and woke Jazzy up and told her to go and get in the tub again. He waited on Jazzy to come back in the room to get dressed.
“Uuummm, Boo-man can you get out so I could change,” asked Jazzy.
“Hell naw I can’t. You know I’ve been eye balling you for a minute and now I got you all alone,” said Boo-man.
“No, you grown ass hell Boo-man and I am a little girl,” yelled Jazzy.
Boo-man threw Jazzy on the bed, and raped her. Then he just left her there crying and bleeding. He left the house to make it seem as if he was there.
Jazzy told her momma and she went looking for Boo-man with Jazzy’s daddy. They found him at a strip club and beat the hell out of him and left him there crying and bleeding like he did Jazzy.

The Next Day of My Life
She SO did not want to be here, especially when he was in the same room. Pooh hated to even look his way, his voice, or even smell his scent.
“I can’t stand him,” yelled Pooh.
“Why?” questioned Mariah.
As Pooh was getting ready to explain and Jason walked past with his new girl on his arm.
“This is what I’m talking about. He is always doing too much just to make me mad,” said Pooh.
“Pooh, calm down. It’s gone be okay,” explained Mariah.
“No, you just don’t understand. I’m pregnant with Jason’s baby and he doesn’t want anything to do with me or the baby,” said Pooh.
“What the hell you mean he doesn’t want anything to do with you all? You didn’t lie down and make the baby self, so he has a part in this as well. Hold on he is going to have a change of heart once I finish talking to him,” said Mariah with aggression.
“No, don’t do that. Just leave him alone, because I don’t even know if I want it. This my junior year and I don’t want to ruin my life with a baby at this age,” said Pooh.
“Okay I understand what you saying now. Just be sure this is what you want to do,” explained Mariah.
“I’m going to go tomorrow to end this. Are you going to go with me? You know I can’t do this by myself,” cried out Pooh.
“Girl, you know I got your back. But did you tell Jason about this?” asked Mariah.
“Yes I did. He is happy about and said you probably can get back together now that I’m ending a life of ours,” said Pooh.
“HE is beyond a dog. That doesn’t make any sense. Don’t go back to him girl. He is not worth it,” said Mariah.
“I’m not but let’s get to class,” said Pooh.
The next day came and Pooh and Mariah was at the hospital. Pooh’s name gets called. Right when Pooh was getting out her seat, Jason walked through the door.
“Pooh! Wait baby don’t do it. I got to ask you something as well,” yelled Jason.
“What do you want? You said you wanted nothing to do with this. So go away,” said Pooh.
“No, baby I want you to marry me. I was being dumb, and my mama told me what’s real and its being with you,” explained Jason.
“Omg you can not be doing this. I can not be with you, Jason I have to go,” said Pooh.
She walked through the doors and Jason dropped to his knees.
“I can’t stand him,” yelled Pooh.
“Why?” questioned Mariah.

Why is there violence in the world now?
Why is so many people pissed?

Chemistry
What’s wrong with Ms. Phillips? Does she have a life? I don’t think so. Ms. Phillips does way too much. She gives way too much work now for her classes. Especially her honors class. She makes it seem like her honors class is an AP class. She needs to learn the difference. When we do your lab projects she over do everything. She acts like we are scientists with the lab reports. She wants us to be way too detailed. And when we getting our materials she be wanting us to use goggles for everything. We don’t get to take them off until all of our stuff is put away. If we can to class RIGHT when the bell ring. We gone be late because we not in our seats which is crazy and unnecessary. Ms. Phillips needs to realize that we are students in her old college class and that we are still High School and needs to keep it that way
The Real Housewives of Atlanta
On the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kandi (former member of Escape) she not married. But she was planning on getting married so she was engaged to a man named Aj. He had 6 kids and 4 different baby mamas. He was also married before. Kandi’s mother did not like Aj, because she thought that he was not fit nor the right person for her daughter. The main reasons were because he had many kids and thought that he was after Kandi’s money. Not too long ago Aj got killed outside of a night club. He was beaten to death. It was said that he owned the club. Of course this was tragic to Kandi because she fought for her and Aj’s relationship. All she wants was for her mother to accept him. But then he gets killed. When Aj got killed the show was not on air. It wasn’t really said on how Kandi felt about the situation but you can just picture how she felt. I see the best to the ones who was close to Aj.

"Me and My Babies
Gina Jackson is a 33-year-old single mother who has eight children. They lived in the projects of Chicago.
A few years earlier, she gave birth to a set of twins. At that point, of time she did not want any more kids. She already had two kids, two girls. The pregnancy was unexpected. She has a one-night stand with this tall brown-skinned dude from Atlanta. The first thing she thought when went to the doctor and found out that she was pregnant was to get an abortion.
“No, I can’t give my baby away. I'm just going to have to keep it and find another income to support him/her,” said Gina.
“I'm sorry ma’am but you’re having twins so it’s seems as if you’re going to need two more jobs,” said the doctor.
“What do you mean twins? What am I going to do? I got two shorties already,” said Gina.
“Well I don’t know ma’am talk it up with your babies’ father,” said the doctor.
“I don’t…never mind. Thanks for your entire help doc,” said Gina.
Gina walked out crying. Many people keep asking if something was wrong with her, and if she needs some help. Gina kept asking God why her. If she was being punished for something.
“Baby, what’s wrong? Mrs. Johnson told me that she saw you at the bus stop and you were going through a little something,” said Gina’s mother.
“Mama you are not going to believe this. I’m pregnant…,” said Gina.
“What?” said Gina’s mother.
“With twins,” said Gina.
“O my God baby. How did this happen?” said Gina’s mother.
“Mama, it was a little quickie with some out of town dude,” said Gina.
“What you mean? For what? I am lost. I don’t understand please explain,” said Gina’s mother.
“I don’t want to talk about it right now. But I got to go. Bye,” said Gina.
“No, you don’t have to go nowhere. We need to talk,” said Gina’s mother.
Gina hung up the phone with her mother, went to her room, and cried for two hours straight. She hurried up and tried to clean her face up because her children were on their way home.
“Wow I need to get myself together because I don’t need to let my babies see me down,” Gina said to herself.
She went downstairs to the kitchen to fix her kids something to eat.
About 30 minutes later Keisha and Moonie came in the door arguing.
“Hold on and wait a minute. Take that mess back out the door because I don’t have time for that non-sense,” said Gina.
“No Ma she was acting like she my mama and I know she older than me in front of everybody,” said Moonie.
“No Ma she was being all fast and shit. All up in some popped ass little boy face,” said Nesha.
“Moonie, what I tell you about that you have to be classy, not trashy. Don’t just act like a lady be a lady,” said Gina.
“But Ma,” said Moonie.
“But Ma, my ass. Now get upstairs and do your homework,” yelled Gina.
Nesha and Moonie both ran upstairs because they knew Mama was not playing. They knew that it was something wrong with their mother. They could just hear it in her voice. Any other time Mama would have beaten the brakes off them if she heard they were being fast. However, this time around she was very mellow.
“Man, I wonder what’s up wit Ma,” said Nesha.
“Yes because something just not right about her and I cant quite put my hands on it. But trust me I will,” said Moonie.
Moonie was the youngest out of the two. She is 14 years old. Moonie is the nosiest one too. She always up to something or into something.
Nesha was the bad one who fought all the time. She always was suspended from school for fighting. Many times, it would be because of Moonie because she has a mouth on her. Nesha is 16 years old.
“See if you didn’t come home telling Mama what I was doing. Then it would not have brung more stress on her. But NO you have to open your big mouth and say something,” said Moonie
“Don’t try to put this on me. This doesn’t have anything to do with me,” said Nesha.
“Now I feel all bad and shit,” said Moonie.
Nesha and Moonie went downstairs to go eat what Mama cooked. They went down the stairs quietly. They did not want to do anything else to tick Mama off.
“So, how was school today?” asked Mama.
“Well nothing much I did all my work today and didn’t get into any trouble for talking,” exclaimed Moonie.
“And Ma I didn’t get into it with nobody,” said Nesha.
“That’s good my babies doing well in school. I’m proud of both of you’ll,” said Gina.
Nesha and Moonie both looked at each other, because they both knew they were lying. They had phony smiles on their faces. Nesha got into an argument with some girl at lunch and slapped the hell out of her. But she didn’t get in trouble because it was no teachers around.
Moonie got kicked out of her classroom for talking back to the teacher and talking during a test. The teacher did not bother calling home because nothing is being done by doing that.
Gina went upstairs and left the girls downstairs at the table.
“Man, what Mama don’t know wont hurt her,” said Moonie silently.
“I know right. But I needs to know what’s up with her,” said Nesha.
Upstairs Gina was watching TV trying not to think about it. She cried so loudly that she had to go to the bathroom and cry her eyes out.
“Lord, what am I going to do? My babies are already spoiled and TWO more kids are not going to work out. I need to figure out me a plan before I have my life ruined.
Gina went to her dresser draw, pulled out her dairy, and began writing about the information that he considered terrible information. Terrible thoughts started going through her head. Now my children are not going to love me anymore. They just might run away from me, I do not want them to feel left out if I do decide to keep these kids. Or maybe I could just give one of them away and keep the other.
Gina picks up the phone to call her best friend Wookie.
“What’s good Wookie Boo?” exclaimed Gina.
“Nothing much, these damn kids steady breaking shit. Twan got kicked out of school so I got to search for a new one for him,” said Wookie.
Wookie and Gina have been best friends since 7th grade. Wookie had four kids with drug dealers. But unlike Gina she knew who her baby daddies was.
“Gina, he threw a chair at the teacher because she told him he wasn’t gone make it nowhere in life, and he was gone end up like his daddy. In jail,” cried Wookie.
“Well dang, she needs her ass beat and that’s on my daddy,” yelled Gina.
“Girl, that’s why he got kicked out his I went up there and beat the dog stuff out of her. She was kicked out the school too but she also got a trip to the hospital. They told us that we causing too much attention to the school and Twan is no longer enrolled,” explained Wookie.
“Well you can send him to Moonie and Nesha school over here,” said Gina.
“Okay but what’s new with you chick?” asked Wookie.
“Wookie Ma, I’m pregnant,” said Gina.
“How that happen man?” asked Wookie.
“I can’t tell you right now. I have not told Moonie and Nesha so do not say anything. But I told my mother about it,” said Gina.
“Well girl, you know I’m here for you no matter what happens. I got your back,” said Wookie.
“Alright girl, I got to go now. I’ll talk to you later,” said Gina.
Gina hung up the phone. She was thinking that it was time for her to tell her kids,
“Moonie and Nesha come here. We got to talk,” yelled Gina.
Nesha and Moonie ran upstairs thinking they were caught in their lie.
“Yes Mama,” yelled Nesha and Moonie.
“I need to tell you something. I do not want you to be upset with me. I still haven’t made a final decision,” cried out Gina.
“What it is Ma?” asked them both.
“I’m pregnant,” said Gina with hesitation.
“For real. Dang since when?” asked Moonie.
“I’m almost two months now,” said Gina with a smile.
“Omg Ma, what you having? Who it’s by?” asked Nesha.
“I don’t know what it is yet. I didn’t plan on keeping it because I didn’t know how you would react to it,” explained Gina.
“Now Mama, why do you think that? I want another sibling other than Moonie bald head self,” said Nesha with a smile.
“But Im not just having one Im having twins,” said Gina.
“Ok but you still aint tell us who the daddy is,” said Moonie.
“Well it was with this man out of town. It was a one-night stand. And it was for money,” said Gina.
“DAMN Mama it’s like that? What you need the money for?” asked Nesha.
“I couldn’t make ends meet for the rent,” said Gina.
“Well at least it wasn’t for any drugs or nothing,” said Moonie.
A few years earlier, she gave birth to a set of twins. At that point, of time she did not want any more kids. She already had two kids, two girls. The pregnancy was unexpected. She has a one-night stand with this tall brown-skinned dude from Atlanta. The first thing she thought when went to the doctor and found out that she was pregnant was to get an abortion.

The Issues About School To Me!!!
1. The dress code.
2. The phone policy.
3. Its too many females here.
4. It’s not enough space here.
5. Delete the middle school.
6. Better school lunches.
7. Bathroom passes.
8. Security is tripping-hall sweeps.
The dress code was a little better last year, because we were able to wear leggings but now we can’t with our shorts and skirts. The phone policy is ridiculous because if your phone drops out your pocket it shouldn’t be taken and at 1st we were able to get them at the end of the period instead of the end the day. It’s not enough space in this school because hallways are too packed. To get more space we should delete the middle school. The school lunches as the same everyday and we need a variety. We should be able to have bathroom passes because sometimes it’s an emergency. The passing periods don’t be long enough to do everything. The security now is crazy because as soon as the bell rings they be on it (to give you a definition). All the issues I just explained needs to be changed.

Past English Classes
In my English classes before I didn’t like them because I don’t like reading books at all. It’s okay to read as a class but at home it’s a no. And writing is okay at times. The way I like to do games to help learn and to take notes so I can go back to them when I need them for quizzes or homework assignments.

The Object That Represents Me
FREESTYLING-OMG!!!!!
Well at this moment I am kind of irritated and heated. I just want this pain to go way, and I want to forget about this person and pretend as if he never existed. But I can’t because I grew A LOT of feelings for him. But come to find out he is back talking to his ex-girlfriend and that’s a no-no. But I know that I will bounce back from this situation, because its nothing for a person like me. But I'm also not going to let this phase me because I have better things to do and worry about in my life.
