1. From where I stood you could see his smile grow and his eyes shine. He seemed proud to see everyone sing/scream his song
until our lungs gave out. He held our hands with a strong grip and didn’t let go. His tattooed over arm had our handprints on it. He
sang so that everyone in the back could hear. You could see the happiness in his eyes when everyone sand, “this is not what it is
only baby scars, I need your love like a boy needs his mother’s side.” our screams were loud and rowdy. Although he was wet
from the rain and sweaty from the jumping we held tight to him as if we would disappear from our grip.

2. The day was a bright shining day with a clear perfect sky….We were first playing soccer in the grass so that is so long it
reaches your shins…the guitar’s body has a couple of cracks, some going from the neck straight down and others that are small.
The guitar was dusty and leaning against an old file drawer.

3. I can hear the quarterback say “hike,” I backpedaled for a second then I heard the boom of the ball getting punted. I felt a rush
go through my body then I caught the ball. I started running all I could see was where my team was. They blocked for me and I
could hear the impact of their pads crushing together…I ran with all my might dropped my shoulder on him and he fell to the floor
hard.

4. It was super hot and muggy in my room. We threw off all the warm and fuzzy blankets…we sprung out of bed like
grasshoppers. We were rushing, so we both had the same gym pants but different colors. I threw on my black and red DRose
shoes with my black, red, and white spray-painted sweater. Mia threw on her nice sandals. We brushed our teeth and threw up
our hair and it was time to go.

5. I went in to Bath and Body Works and it smelled like vanilla and fruit all around…there was a blue and silver bracelet with a
cross in the middle, it was so pretty and glowing from the sunset…the shiny metal felt cold against my warm wrist…

6. I ate my yummy breakfast, which was eggs sausage, bacon, pancakes, and a cup of orange juice…I saw trees and more trees
and colorful cars, buses, taxis, bikes, and motorcycle just rushing to get their kids to school. I lowered down the window so I can
calm down and I smelled eggs, bread, and McDonalds.

7. The air was very strong and you could feel the freshness of it. The road was calm, no cars would come only a few times
moving through the sand. The air was bright blue like the water with many flying animals…I could hear the fish jumping in and out
of the water with the nooks in the bottom of the river. I could hear the farm animals like cows and chickens making noise.

8. He looked swollen and a little red and purple…he had a lot of black hair. When we went into the hospital it smelled like the
weird smell hospitals have. All the walls were white…He was wrapped in a white blanket and it had a red and blue stripe at the
top. He looked like a burrito wrapped in it.
9. “Goal!!! Goal!!!” you hear on the TV…hearing the loud screams and bright colors on their faces, on the background. My dad
right next to me seeing the game, looking like he had run a mil. You see him jump as high bumping onto the table like you’ve
never seen. Water jumping back and forth from his cup, spilling form the white, shiny, glassy metallic table….we were so
attentive to how the soccer players moved their muscular legs back and forth, moving the orange, white blue soccer ball known
as the “Brazucci”.

10. I dipped my hand in the sparkling night-lit water, cupping the warm water in my hand and throwing it at my cousin Alexi. She
yelp. Her shrill voice echoes through the dark blue night. Stars twinkled above us and the moon resting its gloom on us. Light
seeps from the glass sliding door of the big, mansion looking house, the yellow light illuminating the bright green grass around
us. The grass crunches slightly, tickling my bare feet.
