Regret Story Draft 2


It’s a Friday morning in Chicago, the orange and peach rays of sunrise has not risen upon the bright, and inviting city. A young volunteer of the name of Cindy is packing her lunch for a field trip in Wisconsin. The time on a hanging clock in the room was 4:50 a.m., a bit of an early time for Cindy, but not too far from her usual morning time. Henry, her step-brother, also wake up early this morning and enjoyed a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, and rice.

“Hey sis, what time was it again?” Henry asked. “My class and I leave the school the school at 9:00 in the morning, and arrive back at 3:00 p.m. three days from now” Cindy answered, receiving a disappointed sigh. “Wished I could have been a chaperone. All the sites your class going to would be fun” Henry admitted. “Maybe this summer we could go to Wisconsin” Cindy assured him, and finished packing her lunch. After washing her hands, Cindy began preparing her book bag. Suddenly, one of her papers flew out of her hands and in front of Henry. Henry take a glance at the paper, but realize quickly it was a music sheet.

“Hey, is this the song that…” Cindy take the music sheet out of Henry’s hand. “Yes, and I done struggling with that foolish song. I already told her I’m not going to play that silly song and I even tried. Besides, I have too many events I need to study for” Cindy told Henry. “Did you really try? Because you have a terrible habit of giving up so easily” Henry pointed out. “I did tried. I spent hours on the song, but got nowhere!” Cindy said, Henry scanned her face for any signs of lies. “Okay. At least talk to your Piano teacher before completely giving up” Cindy slowly agreed, concluded she would talk to Ms. Wiggins tomorrow. With all her supplies and lunch ready, Cindy leave her house to head to school.

“Alright, everyone here?!” Shouted Mr. Wofte, the art teacher. The teacher received “yes” from the crowd of students in front of him, the entire group was besides the school building. After collecting all his students’ field trip slips, Henry led the group to an average school bus. Everyone paired up into twos and sat in an open seat from the back of the bus to the front of the bus. Cindy paired up with her classmate Jerry. Emphasize “classmates”.

Cindy was very friendly and helped classmates, but often felt lonely and alienated due to her interests. Everyone in all her classes seem to be interested in completely sports, recent drama and top tv. shows. Cindy was very different, she loved gaming and anime/manga. In short, Cindy felt she could never talk openly to her classmates, she does not know exactly what everyone like, and the volunteer had remained her “little world” until high school. Cindy, however, was willing to learn the topics and interests of her pears to Now, the volunteer was listening to her songs looking out of the window. Cindy enjoyed looking at the passing scenery, it assured her she was going somewhere and not idle wasting her life.

Cindy allowed for the silver buildings, colorful sculptures of arts, institutes of learning, and nature keep her company on the ride. In three hour, the bus arrived in the vacation-centered state Wisconsin.  Cindy almost drifted into sleep, to be shaken by vibrations from the bus driving on bumpy terrain. Cindy sat up properly and laid her back against the bus seat.

Cindy looked into the window and felt a chill keep slowly into her spine. The bus was too close to trees, at least the road was….scary” Cindy thought. Cindy tried to push worried thought out of her mind, before fear began to spark into her mind. In one swift to the left, Cindy felt the gravity shifted and her vision began flashing. Her mind began panicking wildly, and her heart began to shatter from pain caused by fear. Cindy felt like a tumbleweed in the bus as it fell over the edge, hoping broken glass did not puncture anything vital. Her vision blurs, and she enter her subconscious.  Cindy never expected her memories before her “death” to be so…bleak. It was just fun memories with loved ones, except for a small black speck. Suddenly, one sad memory emerged.

“Cindy!” wined a six-year old girl. “No, I told you before. I can’t play this song!” Cindy shouted. “It was a lie, but I don’t have the time, energy or tolerant”. “Please!” the girl begged again, giving Cindy a music sheet. “I tried playing the song” Cindy explained. Cannot stand the lyrics and presentation of the song, it was atrocious. “Angel, I’m sorry. Maybe a different song?” Cindy asked, before Angel shoved the music sheet in her hand and ran out of the room.

Cindy woke up hours later, her innominate left hand clothed in bulky white bandages. Cindy in minutes learn what happened. The bus veered over the road due to ice on the road, causing the bus crash and many students injured.  Cindy was more worried about the school, than her own mangled hand. The next day, she would be given surgery for the hand and leave the hospital with her parents wondering if she will ever use the left hand again.

Exceprt from one of my stories: Lion-Hearted Erza


First things first: Disclaimer
I DO NOT OWN THE MANGA/ANIME FAIRY TAIL OR ITS CHARATCERS.

Sorry, must do this just in case. Now the story

In the world of Edo (different one), there is an existence of demons who wreaked havoc on villages and most attacks were deadly. Some regions of Edo form alliances with guilds, factions made of great warriors and magic users who would protect the village in exchange for essentials of life.  Most villages formed alliances with light guilds, one of the greatest being the Fairy Tail guild. The Fairy Tail guild is well-known for having both demons and human warriors who protected the villages they guards. Erza Scarlet, the strongest female warrior in the guild, was an S-classed warrior known to have slayed over 10,000 monsters so far in her life. These monsters ranged from small petty D-class demons to S-class behemoths, yet the red-haired female warrior would take down any demon in her path who dared harm innocent people. Now, the female warrior is on her next mission: To kill a powerful rabbit demon that has been terrorizing villages.

Of course, normal rabbit demons are weak and only cause minor problems. However, this one is abnormally strong. Erza recall the description of the demon’s powers.
Rabbit Demon: 700,000 jewels
“Fast Speed, and High Agility. Uses dark magic to attack and control many of the rabbit demons in the area. Known Deaths: 500. Last Seen: Manoko Forest. Weaknesses: Unknown
“Strange” the red-haired warrior thought, before accepting the mission.

Week Blog Review(Week 30)

Week Blog Review-Week 30

The 30th blog review! Yep, and the weekend was amazing! (this took too long to post). Piano was very fun and I had so much improvement on Forest Dawn, and found a better copy of the music sheet of Final Fanstasy XIII. I wanted to give my piano teacher a copy, but she wasn't there on Friday so I have to wait until spring break is over before I could give her the copy. Geometry was introducing problems on our newest chapter, Chapter 9, which involves circles and altitude hypotenuse theorem. While my grade for the class is bad, I confident I can change it to an A if I go to the POW reviews and study harder for tests. Spanish was confusing and hilarious because of a animated film the class and I watched to learn about the idea of legends in Spanish and Mexican cultures. The film was terrible because of the animation and a few bad puns, but the story was good. English was finishing work for Their Eyes are Watching God and saying goodbye to our student teacher, we even made her a big card before she went back to her University. I also learn one of my best friends in the class love Final Fantasy after I showed him the music sheet. I was surprised, but happy to find a fellow Final Fantasy Fan. P.E this week was fun as it was basically free time. United States History was reading about the New Deal and how some people criticize the actions made during the 100 days of the Deal. Friday, the class and I watched a documentary on Jackie Robinson and I learned a few things I didn't know about the fame baseball player. Chemistry was review on mole, grams and molecule conversions.
Extra: The weekend was great too. Yesterday I changed my hairstyle, and it only took three hours. Trust me, in the past it took seven hours and for some people nine. Nine! Another plus was I was able see one of my favorite movies with Ms.Brown, she the one who does my hair. It was easy as she do people hair in her apartment and she had a dvd player.

And as promise.....a excerpt from one of my stories. I'll create a new post for it.

Regret Story(First Draft)


The Lost Song: Cindy’s Regret Story

This week would be the first week of school after the incident, but Cindy was hopeful. Cindy, already adjusted to her new life with mangled left hand, began to catch up on work to make an important deadline for Chemistry. Cindy developed the harmful habit of procrastinating on work two years back, now struggling to finish the report before the end of the day. Cindy placed the final touches on her chemistry report beside her friends Alissa and Paul. The three were best friends since elementary and managed to be accepted to the selective enrollment high school they go to now. Cindy, now finished her report, can address her annoyance of Alissa’s staring at her left hand. The accident somehow gave her the power to sense someone staring at the incapacitated hand. “Can you please stop staring at my hand? It’s fine” Cindy assured Alissa. “How can you be so calm!?! You lost your hand basically, even if they didn’t had to amputate your hand” Alissa question with a hint of confusion. Cindy sighed. “I don’t know myself really. I guess I realize thousands of people has worse injuries than my poor hand. Besides, stressing over it will not make it better” Cindy explained, placing the report in her tidy Chemistry folder. The sixteen-year old took pride in an organized book bag. “I see where Alissa coming from” Paul said, entering the conversation. “Not denying I was not panicking when I was told my left hand will never completely heal” Cindy told her friends. Alissa and Paul nodded, before they continued eating.

*Why did they had to remind me* Cindy thought in the safety of her mind.  Cindy knew her now maimed hand is going to cause her trouble for the rest of her life, or get a replacement. From school-related work to her volunteer work to implying for a job to her final hours, the hand would haunt her, and she refuse to get a plastic hand. Even some of her favorite hobbies was barred, included her favorite pastime playing the piano. Since she was eight, Cindy dreamed to play beautiful melodies on the beautiful instrument. This school year, the dream came true as Cindy began taking Piano this year and has quite a love-hate relationship with the class. At times, the volunteer would master the song after a few hours of practice and present her talent proudly to her class when she felt very confident. However, there was other times Cindy would burn with frustration when she could not play a song correctly despite days of practice. Cindy overall loved the class, and her new dream was to master songs from games and cartoon. Now with her left hand out of commission, Cindy could never play some complex musical piece. More importantly, a specific piece she planned to play for her six-year old little cousin Angel. Three month prior to the field trip, Angel begged Cindy to play a song from a cartoon the younger girl watched every day. “Please!” Angel asked, Cindy shook her head. Cindy knew the song her cousin wanted her to play, but she hated the song and the difficulty of the song. Surprise, the song was actually hard to master much to the frustration of Cindy and eventually it led to Cindy telling Angel she will not play the song for her. Cindy changed her mind when Angel’s friend Alex died from suffocation and Angel became depressed. Angel was never told Alex died, but Cindy could see the hurt in Angel face and it motivated her into trying again to learn the song. Now, she mastered the three page song. She knew the timing, tiempo, and pitch of every note by heart and could play the song without the music sheet. However, she could not play the song as much as she wanted. All her work, the time she spent learning each measure bit by bit from right hand to left! Now, gone. Cindy was shaken out of her thoughts by Paul, who was warning her the bell was about to ring. Cindy quickly put her blue book bag on and departed to her last class of the day: Chemistry.

Weel Blog Review(Week 29)

Week Blog Review-Week 29

This week had been great, like last week. The past three weeks had been filled with shorter days in the school week due to testing and holidays, which I don't mind <3 . I was shocked by the PARRC testing schedule this week because I thought one: The class periods would last 1 hour and a half like last year, and two: The testing would only last two days. Both thoughts were wrong because class periods are fifty-five minutes long and PARCC testing will last five days. We still have Monday, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday for PARRC testing. The second best part of PARCCA testing besides extra hours of sleep is I don't have to take it because I'm in Geometry and English II. Moving onto my week. Piano was good this week, improving on Mickey Mouse March, and Forest Dawn. I'm also experimenting with minor scales and I'm hoping to create a song with the minor scales. Geometry was disappointing in my aspect, but very informational as I learn I failed my POW and my Chapter 8 test right before grades are in. I really hate POWs. Yet I'm still hopeful I'll get better in Geometry, Algebra is just my weakness in the class. Spanish II was slightly less annoying than usual, but I still miss Ms.Gomez teaching and luckly it just a matter of time before she comes back teaching. English II had been good as we finished the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and began work on our group projects. Going to miss Ms.K. P.E had been kinda fun, but very exhausting due to circuits and swimming techniques. I also got the freestyle, just need to work on breathing at  intervals. United States History this week was learning about The Great Depression. Finally, Chemistry was just more work on perfect composition, empirical formula and molecular formula.
Extra: Next week blog will be the 30th blog! Plus, it also will be the start of spring break. I decided I will include an excerpt from one of my stories I'm writing. Overall, great week. See you next week, hopefully on Friday for once.

Week Blog Review(Week 28)

Week Blog Review-Week 28

This week had been great! Probably one of the best weeks so far of the school year. Yet....because I'm doing this one so late I forgot half the week. Sorry. But I can remember the basic/top details. Such as there was only four days of school this week because of the one-day strike. Thursday was a short day due to PARRC testing, which is another win. All my classes this week had been great, except for P.E. We did circuits, which are somehow worse than normal circuits. At least with normal circuits, you don't feel as tired and exhausted from running as swimming and you're not being timed. Piano this week had been practically amazing because I finally making good progress on Mickey Mouse March. I still have problem with timing and hesitation, but a great start. Geometry was using theorems involving proportions to solve problems. Spanish II this week was work on Chapter 5A. United States History was review of chapters 20-21 before the test, which I aced. Finally, Chemistry was moving from moles to percent composition, and empirical formulas of compounds. Overall, great week.
Extra: My parents will be arriving from their anniversary trip to Las Vegas. Also still deciding which story except I will choose or might make on up right quick.
