My Hunger Games

Author's Note: Here is the Hunger Games, but in Rue's point of view. Hope you enjoy!

I am the smallest one out of the 24 and be the first one to go. My plan is to go straight to the highest tree and hide there. 5....4.....3....2.....1 Go! I ran off into the woods. Not thinking about anyone or anything behind me. The number one thing that I am considered about is myself staying alive. I know it sounds selfish, but I have a family back at home waiting for me. Obviously, I won’t stay alive for very long. All the other tall, strong, powerful tributes are ready to fight and kill others so they can stay alive. I find the tallest tree I’ve seen so far. I climb to the highest point. As I climbed, I saw Cato running. Clearly, he was the strongest one, besides the blonde boy from District 12. As I am at the highest point, I start to think about the two district 12 kids. They seemed pretty nice in their interview. Wait Rue! You can’t fall into any traps. That will just leads you to death.

One Direction Day

Author's Note- Here's a short paragraph about one holiday that I could make up. Anything and I chose One Direction Day. Hope you like One Direction!

A holiday that I would create would probably be One Direction Day. On this day, school or work would be out for the day. For the day, we would all go to one specific location, hosted in a different location every year, and listen to One Direction. Every other year, they would come and perform and host a concert. This would just be a U.S holiday because it would be hard for others to come and participate. People who wish to not participate in this holiday do not have to. This is just for the people who would like the day off or enjoy listening to One Direction.  Personally, I would love to have this holiday. Would you?

Our Fairytales

Author's Note- Here's Chapter 3. The last chapter of them all. Hope you enjoy the ending!  


Chapter 3
 
First, the girls were going to scout for dresses or as we would say, the perfect Disney princess dress. Mada was looking for more of a sleeping beauty dress. Emilee was looking for a more Belle dress. And me you ask? I just wanted the dream princess dress. Next, Louis and I go to pick out the perfect rings. I got the most gorgeous ring you could ever imagine. A big, shiny, beautiful diamond in the middle, and little crystals to give it an extra bling to the ring. Soon after that, Louis and the boys go to check out some tuxes. Of course, us girls aren’t allowed to see what the groom looks like before the wedding. It’s bad luck they say. After that, soon we had a whole part of a wedding to finish.

The day came when Mada’s big day came up. You could see in Zayn’s eyes that he was mesmerized of how beautiful he thought she looked. That moment when she walked down that aisle, she truly was beautiful and happy. When she was with Zayn, she looked even happier and knew that they were meant to be together. Just by looking at them, you could tell that they would be together forever. I couldn’t believe their whole journey together. Whether it was going through fights or giving each other hugs and kisses. It was a fairytale.

Then came the day when it was Emilee’s day. Josh was the prince and Emilee was the princess from a Disney movie. They looked like they have been married for forever. The more I saw them together, the more they looked like true lovers. A perfect couple would be them. Times came when they would have their stupid and lousy fights, but could tell that it wouldn’t last very long. It was a fairytale.

Finally came my day. I finally felt like that princess ready to marry my prince. Just a few steps down that aisle until we will be together forever. I felt as if the whole world was revolved around us and we were the only two left on this planet. I was holding back my tears of happiness. It was a dream coming true. I never knew that this day would come. It was truly a fairytale.

All of our weddings were fairytales. All three of us were princesses for a day. We were now on our separate journeys. The future is in our hands and waiting upon us for excitement and many more adventures. Three happily married couples, six wedding rings, three sundresses, three t-shirts and shorts, and three honeymoons, but never apart.

Gone

 Author's Note- Here's a horror story for those who like horror stories! Surprising things will happen in this short story. Enjoy!!


We were walking through Six Flags at midnight. We were locked in the amusement park. Louis and me, Mada and Zayn, and Emilee and Josh. Emilee was hanging onto Josh like she was about to die. We didn’t have anywhere to go. All of a sudden, we hear a big crash. We were all frightened and the girls were screaming. The boys were trying to calm us down, but nothing can stop a girl from screaming. We walk towards the sound, then all of a sudden, Mada went missing. Zayn started to cry and ran away. That’s when Zayn went missing. It was just us four, Emilee, Josh, Louis, and I.

Louis and I were holding hands, we turn around in unison and Emilee and Josh were missing. Louis and I were freaking out and telling each other to stay right next to each other. We heard another crash and We turned around. Walking very slowly, we scout for anything suspicious. Then as we look to the right we see Emilee, Josh, Zayn, and Mada all covered in blood. Lying there in pain. Mada sits up and startles me. “How did you come back alive!” I screamed. “He’s coming.” Mada says in a straight voice. Zayn sits up, “He’s coming.” Emilee sits up and says, “He’s coming.” Josh gets up right away and says “He’s coming.” Louis and I were freaking out. They all sit up and walk like zombies and in unison, they say “He’s coming.” As they approach us, they get louder and louder.

Then they all started laugh. There was something fishy going on. Turned out that they were tricking us. The blood was ketchup and we weren’t locked out. They reserved the whole Six Flags to trick us.

Our Fairytales

Author's Note- Here's chapter 2 for Our Fairytales. Enjoy chapter 2!

Chapter 2

When Louis and I met, I knew it was him. He was the one for me. He was the one I am going to marry. We meet at Woodfield Mall, the one in Chicago. He was walking in the mall and right when I was about to pass him, he dropped everything in his hands. I rushed to him to help him as others pass him. I looked up into his eyes. They were a nice olive green with a tint of blue in them. They sparkled like the sun hitting on the ocean. Our first conversation was the best day of my life. Here’s how it went:

As I was minding my own business walking down this gigantic mall. I saw a man with Rayban sunglasses, a striped blue shirt, red pants, and white shoes on. He looked quite attractive. Right when I was about to pass him, he drops his things all over the floor. “Oh my gosh! Let me help you!” I said in a worried voice. Quickly trying to pick up his stuff. As I stood back on my feet slowly, our eyes met up together. “Hi. I’m Louis Tomlinson.” Louis said in a soft, but sincere voice. “Hi, I’m Grace. I know who you are. You are from One Direction. Also my favorite member. “Well then I’m glad I met you.” Louis smiled. We went to Baskin Robins and the Rainforest Cafe together. We spent hours together laughing, making jokes, taking pictures and getting to know each other.

I remember, that night was one of the best nights of my life. We started to hang out more, talk on the phone for hours, and soon began a relationship. We were like any other relationship. For a while, I have been waiting for those three words from him. Everyday, I wanted him to tell me this. Then came the day. We were eating dinner at a nice place and after dessert, he grabs my hand and spills those three words. “I love you.” On that day, my heart skipped beats. I started to think “This is my dream man. He is the one I am going to marry.”

How did he purpose you ask? Well I guess every girl’s purposing story is always exciting. First, he told me to leave the 11th of April open for the whole day. I didn’t know why of course, but indeed I did. The first thing on his checklist was to take me out to brunch. We had this wonderful meal. Next, he lead me to the beach. Thankfully, it was a nice day. The weather wasn’t too hot, too windy, or too cold. It was perfect. After we took many pictures, spent hours talking, we decided to go eat dinner. We had another wonderful, delicious, gourmet meal. After that, he lead me to an empty room with a blindfold covering my eyes. I didn’t know what was going on. He finally took the blindfold off and I witnessed a blank, white wall. There was absolutely nothing on this wall or even in this room.

Waiting patiently for five minutes, something bright started to play. I looked over and it was a recap of us. The pictures from our very first date all the way through today. I wanted to burst out crying of happiness. This man really did make me happy. As I let a tear fall down my face, my mind went blank. Suddenly, all the lights turned off. The screen, the pictures, everything. When all the lights came back on, I was blinded for two seconds. I look down once I regained my vision. And I see him on the ground. On one knee. With the ring of my dreams in his hands. He said the life changing words to me. “Will you marry me Grace?” I looked into those eyes one more time. Gave it a thought. “Yes! I do!” I said as I shouted and leaped into his warm arms. Those words made my heart his.

Our Fairytales

Author's Note- Here's a story that is in a couple of pieces that is a fairytale/love story. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1

Some people think that love at first sight is nonsense. For me, it really happened. With Louis Tomlinson. The moment I saw him, I knew that we were meant to be. The way he flipped his chocolate brown hair, made my heart melt. It was love at first sight.....so we got married. We decided to tell Mada and Zayn first. Turns out, they’re already engaged! Then, we planned on telling Josh and Emilee. Turns out, they were engaged too. Three engaged couples, six engagement rings, three wedding dresses, three tuxes, and much planing to do.

Mada and Zayn met while shopping. Mada was shopping for her usual clothes at Ralph Lauren on Michigan Ave. after a One Direction concert. It wasn’t meant to be, but it happened. Kind of like love at first sight. Mada was a mega fan of Zayn. She wasn’t obsessed, but she was addicted. She never knew it would come to this point. You know? Getting married to the man she did love. From the beginning. A fan marrying a star is a rare thing. And Mada was one of the lucky ones. To marry the love of her life.

Emilee and Josh met a while back. They were friends ever since they were little. Every single day, Emilee would ditch Mada and I whenever she spot Josh.You could tell they liked each other. By high school, they started to date. Everyday, they showed their love to each other. They were the dream couple. By college, they didn’t talk as much, but Skyped almost everyday. You knew by looking at them, they were going to get married, have kids, and be together forever.
