Finally

-

 It had been a dull week. My teacher hasn't been in school for four days and everyone missed him. Every day, we hoped that he'd be back, but he wasn't. Our sub, Ms. G, was nice. But she is not Stillway. 

It was Friday and we hadn't seen Mr. Stillway all week. When I was getting ready for school, I kept hoping he was going to be back. When I got to school and walked into the building, I hoped he would be there. My fingers were crossed, hoping he would finally be there.

I opened the wooden doors as I walked into the hallway. I found the Sponge Bob banner marking our classroom. I quickly walked into the room, fingers still crossed, hoping more than ever that he would be there. I couldn't survive a whole week without him. 

I couldn't believe my eyes. My PE teacher was sitting at Mr. Stillway's desk. I know that the specials teachers sometimes sub when the teachers are at meetings, but I still didn't know if Mr. Stillway was there or not. I slowly walked up to Mr. T. "Is Mr. Stillway here," I asked hoping the answer would be yes. 

"He's here. I'm just subbing for him for a meeting," Mr. T said. I was upset. Even thought my teacher was there, I had to wait for a while to see him. My heart stopped pacing. I walked to my desk feeling glum. I was really hoping to come into the classroom and see my teacher sitting at his desk, acting all normal. I guessed that was going to have to wait. 

I did my morning work and every time I heard footsteps, I looked to the door. I wondered what it was like for him, coming back after being out sick for four days and having to start the day with a meeting. Then a student came by that I sometimes help in the morning. I grabbed my computer and went over to help her. Preston, the person who takes the lunch account to the office came back into the classroom saying, "Mr. Stillway is coming. Mr. Stillway is coming." Everyone started laughing excitedly.

Soon the hallway doors opened. I looked towards them. Out came a tall man, holding a clipboard and a Dunkin Donuts water bottle. It was Mr. Stillway...finally. My heart was beating faster than a drum. I looked over my shoulder to be absolutely sure it was Mr. Stillway. Of course it was. How could I confuse Mr. Stillway with someone else...I've known him all year.

He smiled as he stepped into our classroom. He smiled at me before he was fully inside. I could tell that he missed us. 

Mr. T left the room, waving goodbye as Mr. Stillway took his spot back at his desk.

Locked

-
  It was a dark and breezy winter night and I was coming home from my my mom's friends daughters dance recital. I was so much fun and everyone did great! When we got home we parked the car in the garage and we ran to the door because we were so tired.  My sister opened the door and said,¨ It is locked.¨ Everyone tried opening the door but it was definitely locked. No one knew what to do, but my mom unlocked the car and we all went in, except for daddy. ¨Can I honk the horn?¨ I asked Mom. She said no. We were sitting in the front seat because we never get to go in the front. I kept touching all the parts of the steering wheel, trying to find where the horn was hidden. We started opening compartments and touching the mirror. We were actually having fun. HONK!!! The horn finally honked and everyone laughed except for mom.  ¨ I told you no.¨ Mom said. ¨Wait!¨ I screamed I was looking out the window at dad. And then suddenly I started to laugh! ¨What are you laughing at?¨ My s...

The ¨ Farm ¨

-
¨ I love the farm.¨ My sister shouted at us, and I felt pretty much the same. We were going to a farm on a random day so I was a little confused. My mom and dad never let us go places for no reason. We all got in the car and we went in the car for a long time just driving and driving. Then we reached ¨ The farm.¨ but the farm was not a farm. It was a bunch of plants in a greenhouse I thought what was that we are at a garden. My mom said that it wasn't exactly a farm she said it was more of a garden with animals. We walked to the greenhouse to look at plants for relatives for Easter. We found quite a few things. We looked at Garden toys but we couldn't really find anything so we went outside in the back. There were ducks walking on the path but they were gated up they were in a cage though. Then we looked in a cage and there were peacock a few goats that my sister was really excited about because she loves goats.  Then we went back inside to look at flowers in the other house. W...

Dance

-
  An anxious feeling filled my body as I sat patiently, waiting onstage for my numbers to be called. “ You did great in all of your dances,” I told myself. " Why are you getting so nervous? It won't change anything. “ Thinking this just made the anxiousness get worse. The awards had just started, and my first number had been called. “ Featherstone… Platinum.” The announcer called. This was my contemporary dance, my favorite dance this season. In case you didn't know, your dances were ranked with Gold being the lowest and then going High Gold, Platinum, and then Diamond being the highest. My friend Madison went up to retrieve the trophy and pins, and I smiled in relief that we did pretty well. After a couple of dances, one of my dances was called again: “ Sweet Dreams… Diamond.” With this being called, all of my nerves left me, and joy perked up right there in its place. “ Sweet Dreams”  was my jazz dance, and I was proud of everyone in the group because we had made much pr...
