Scary Story – By Josephine

It was a cold winter morning and it was 6:00am. I just woke up. Then I remembered that today is the day that I move and I don’t want to move. The next day we arrived at the house. It was so creepy but I got a feeling that I remembered it.

We got a tour of the house and I froze when I heard that that this place used to be a Children’s asan Asylum. When I got to my room I decided to go to bed. My room was small but nice. In the morning I went to my parents room. When I got there I stopped and looked. It was beautiful and then I understood why my parents bought this terrible place.

My parents were sleeping so I went to explore. There was one door that I wanted to go in but we weren’t allowed, because of the the person who used two stay there but I decided to go in anyway.

I walked in and saw room like the others, but instead of bars there was glass and the room look a lot nicer. It had a pink fuzzy rug, a white table, a big bed and it looked familiar. A computer was there and when I opened it, tons of files popped up and it had different peoples histories. So I thought however owned this was a stalker.

I closed the computer and went to my room and mom was there. She told me that I used to live here and I lived in a room behind the glass. Then I screamed! I was crazy… “No you weren’t crazy, just intelligent and everybody loved you. It was really just something with personality changes but you grow out of it,” said my mom. Then I fainted, but this time I didn’t wake up.

Observation Piece By Cole

Ice Versus Fire

I reach up to my shelf and grab a piece of orbit spearmint gum.  After I quickly shove it into my mouth, I put on my suit. Then I become SUPER FLAME!

I dart outside my house to see the notorious Dr. Ice. He jumps at me. Instantly a wave of cold crosses my entire body, especially affecting my fingers. Quickly, I jump back and I almost get hit by a speeding car. I leap back at him and I smell my gum very distinctly. *FLASH* As I leap backwards, and land on my porch I notice a piece of furniture. I light it on fire and throw it at Dr. Ice. Then I am startled by the loud sound of a plane overhead, and Dr. Ice leaps at me and his amazing strength helps him as he throws me into the air, putting me feet away from the engine of the plane. Scared, I crash back down to earth with a large thud. I see an unnatural swarm of bugs around me and I flick them all away. Another bug flies into my face and I swat it away and lose my balance. I crash into my hot tub which immediately comes to a boil. If I don’t get out of the water FAST I will die!

I jump out of the water and hurl a log at Dr Ice. He falls down and throws it back at me. Along with the log he grabs a laptop from a terrified passerby and throws it at me. The log zooms by me blowing my hair aside with a cold breeze. I then get hit by the laptop flat in my thighs. Dr Ice’s cold is starting to crack the ground beneath me, so I jump over to a different place. I look at my blank fingers completely frostbitten. My nose is runny and my mouth is cold all because of Dr Ice. He pulls all of the water out of my well and throws it at me freezing it in the air. I dodge it and run at Dr Ice. I tackle him into my hot tub and I watch as he slowly melts away in the boiling water….

Thanksgiving Observation Story – Aydin

It was late afternoon; I was sitting in the living room watching TV. Then, something caught my eye — what’s this? It’s a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed animal with pupils unusually large. But this ‘animal’ wasn’t just any animal; this animal was a cat. It was black and white and it appeared to be in a weird shape. It was laying down flat with both of its back paws moving (left, right, left, right) and its front paws looking ready to pull it forward. As another cat walked into the room (this cat was just black), I can see what the other cat on the mantle is up to. For a brief second the other cat looks at the cat on the mantle, and then…POUNCE. The cat on the mantle jumps down and pounces on to the other. They start vigorously fighting. Claw, claw and over and over the cats clawed at each other. That clawing eventually became grabbing and throwing and full on tackling.

 

It was deep into the fight, and the completely black cat had tackled the black and white one onto the ground. The black and white cat grabbed the completely black cat’s neck and fully rolled over while holding on to him. This turned the whole fight around, making the black cat on the ground, and the other cat on top. This kept going on — there were RAWRS and hisses, swings and misses. This fight had gone on much too long; somebody had to put a stop to it.  I stand up tall, look at both cats and make a big sound as I stomp on the ground to stop the cats from fighting. Both cats look at me and jump about five feet in the air and run like  cartoon cats out of the room. I am now satisfied. I sit back down in my comfortable leather chair and watch TV to the sound of birds outside.

 

Thanksgiving Day – By Sobia

Thanksgiving Day

I was walking quickly but carefully towards my friend’s house with my brother. The ground was muddy and the mud ruined my boots. My brother smelled like turkey. My sister and my other brother were way behind and were still at the bottom of the driveway. This was because my sister was fixing her hair and my other brother was talking to her about colleges. My mom and dad were already in the house talking with their friends because they came before us.

 

When I walked in they had just started serving the turkey. The lights were on and all around me people were talking and eating and laughing. I got my dinner and went upstairs to eat. My friends were up there so I sat next to them on the bed. I started to eat my dinner. First, I ate the turkey. I didn’t remember the last time I had eaten turkey and when I put it right next to my mouth, I could smell the turkey. I felt sorry for it as I thought about what it was like when it was still alive. I didn’t like the bland taste of the turkey though so I was eating it little by little, nibbling on it. I felt like a hamster.

 

Ten minutes later we had finished eating and my friends started watching “Mulan” on Netflix on a laptop. An hour passed and we were still watching “Mulan” but we were towards the end of it.I started feeling hungry again and I was already tired. I had a knot in my stomach.  I left later on feeling happy but sleepy. It was a fantastic party and I had a really amazing time. It was a very Happy Thanksgiving.

The Epic Journey Of The Cupcakes By Leah

The Epic Journey Of The Cupcakes  

Once upon a time on a cool evening there were three girls, Dakota the oldest  sister, Mira the second oldest and Leah the youngest. They  were making cupcakes and that’s when they saw a flash of lighting and I came to life, ( evil laughing in the background, Moohaha)… with my cupcake friends of course.

This is how it all began…

When they were making our cupcake batter, they were acting so nice to each other, which is very unusual. We were so disgusted by their kindness that we came to life. So now we are making a plan to attack them, take over their household, and then the whole neighborhood!!!!

As the King of the Cupcakes, I gathered all of my minions and together we planned our epic attack. All of my little cupcake warriors were making the war supplies.

We made  things like spoons catapults. We found  pink, red and blue frosting that we could use to glue our enemies together and toppings like sprinkles cherries and candy. Once they were done making all the war supplies, we showed them the plane. Once we were done cooling we would get are war supplies and start moving towards them and lasso them up with the candy and right before they surrender ten of the toughest cupcakes would be launched up in to the air by spoons and then they would surrender.

Before we could attack, Sasha the dog, took one of the cupcake leaders and ate him!! Everybody was shocked but before we could move, Nila, Sasha’s older sister jumped up and ate another cupcake leader, and then the oldest of the dogs Dahlia ate one cupcake leader and two soldiers !!!

There was no way they could fight knowing there were five cupcakes down and the sisters were about to frost them!! After the cupcakes were frosted, the sisters  left them alone. They wanted to try to attack them again but there were too few of them.  There were only forty soldiers and cupcake leaders all together!

The next day, everybody was eating us! The day after that, I was the last cupcake! Then the worst part happened. I was eaten by little Leah!! Now I am telling you the story of my life. Don’t  worry,  I will get my revenge some day!

 

The Senses by Alex

Thanksgiving is one of the most majestic times of the year

Especially when there is an abundance of love and cheer

I can see the glorious food cooking

Everyone is looking

 

Waiting for the food

Is so very crude

It has an astonishing flavor

 

It’s food I really want to savor                                                                                                                                                                             All of these desserts are making me drool

I’m delighted that I don’t have to go back to school

I can hear the most ear-splitting sound ever

Of my sister and cousin running up and down

The stairs not making them look very clever

All of my family’s Christmas decorations are up in their house

 They did it as quick as a mouse

People  are talking and chatting everywhere I go

I know that the snow will come very slow

Am I not clear

That Thanksgiving is one of the most magnificent times of year

Thanksgiving by Lexi

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is full of surprises

New people

New food

New adventures

But the truth of  it is

the holiday season

is just a way to see the people

You want to see

and taste the food

you want to taste

Taste

The leftover taste

Of mashed potato in my mouth

Can start to taste like toxic waste

Toxic waste ain’t so good

When it’s in mashed potato form

 

Miss

 

I’m missing my step cousins a lot

I wish they would come running back

I guess I thought

Thanksgiving wouldn’t feel as short as snack

 

Chew

 

The gum in my mouth

Is starting to taste pretty bad

Let me go spit it out

I’ll be a minute now

 

See

 

The kitchen still isn’t clean

Bins of turkey still all over the counter

And while my cat is acting like the queen

I sit and watch, she thinks she has power

 

Think

 

I miss New York City

And all the famous people I got to see

But next Thanksgiving will be pretty soon

And New York City will always be there

 

Stuffed

 

My Stomach is so full

Two courses of the same food

And a table of dessert

But it was so good

 

Feelings

Thanksgiving is full of surprises

New people

New food

New adventures

 

But the truth of  it is

the holiday season

is just a way to see the people

You want to see

and taste the food

you want to taste

 

So thats it…

Cupcakes – By Mira Paz

Cupcakes

On a cold, Saturday afternoon Dakota, Leah and I decided to make cupcakes to brighten up  the mood. Since for our birthday Leah and I got a lot of cupcake supplies like batter and frosting, we were ready to go. First, we got out the mix and all the ingredients and we got two big bowls to mix the batter in. Then we mixed and mixed till our arms hurt. After that, we put the mini cupcakes wrappers and the regular cupcake wrappers into the pans. Next, we waited and waited with the good taunting aroma of cupcakes filling the air.

When the sound of the oven beeping told us that the cupcakes were done, we were so happy and excited. Dakota, Leah, and I raced to the oven looking into the gooey yummy cupcakes right in front of our eyes. We let them cool for a while. As they were cooling, we put the food coloring in the frosting. The soft quiet breathing and the dripping sound of food coloring going into the frosting is all I could hear in that moment. Finally, we got the piping bags out and put the frosting in them, and then all started to frost the cupcakes. After a while, the frosting started coming out the top of the piping bags and the gooey, oozing topping made a mess falling everywhere. I could smell the sweet, sugary and delicious smell of the frosting and cupcakes in the whole kitchen.

After we were done frosting the sweet cupcakes with the gooey topping, we decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles. We got the sprinkles out and we started to decorate the cupcakes. After decorating five cupcakes the sprinkles were falling everywhere. The rainbow sprinkles were falling delicately on the tables and on the cupcakes.

Finally, we finished everything and the best part came …. tasting the cupcakes.! We each picked out a cupcake and bit into it. They were delicious. The light airy taste made the cupcakes taste like heaven. They were probably the best cupcakes I have ever made, and to spend it with my friends was even better.
