Nicole's Story

Rika's P.O.V.

As I carefully entered the haunted house, the door shut behind me and I run to the door. But I was unable to open it again. I knew I didn't have a choice. I turned around, waiting for my feet to take me somewhere in the house where I can find an exit, I mean this house has to have an exit. It had to have one.

Right?

It so peaceful in here, quiet and kind of scary, knowing that you're the only one in a haunted house were everyone says they saw a ghost, some even claimed they saw an alien just to make a big fuss about it. As I walked down the hall I saw a light in the end of the hall, I can't quiet see if someone is holding it, it so dark I can't even see the end of the hall.

I was thinking of approaching it, but I was afraid that someone would pop up holding the candle so I stayed where I was standing.

It was stupid of me to come here, but I know my friends would never ever come here again, knowing of what happened last night.

(Last night)~~~~~~~

It was my friend Kyle who convinced us four to come and explore the haunted house, we got separated and couldn't find each other.

It worries me that something happened to them.
As I walked alone worrying about others I heard a foot step behind me, first I thought it one of them, and then the foot step got louder like it hurrying for me, so I panicked and ran, I'm so scared that I didn't even looked where I'm stepping, I lost my balance and tripped.

"Next time I'm gonna wear shoes." I muttered to particularly no one. It was so stupid to wear a sandals while exploring a haunted house.

I don't remember where I tripped that night, but I know that when I tripped I lost something special, something my mother gave to me in my birthday, it was a necklace my mother gave to me that she said was a lucky charm, and from then on I kept the necklace close to me, and that's why that necklace was precious.

(Now)~~~~~~~~

I started to back away when the lights went out.

"Maybe it just my imagination.." I convinced myself, backing away.

I looked around.

"Where is it?" I whispered looking around while crouching, the only light that I have is the one that coming from the full moon across the window.

"What are you doing here human!?" Someone exclaimed.

I turned around in surprised, it's a person with a bucket on his head and a hole on his left side showing his eye.

"I-I lost something important to me and I can't find it!" I was shaky, looking around hoping that I would find it as soon as I see it.

"Hurry up and find it, you're not supposed to be here! Leave this place at once after you find it!" He demanded,

I turn around to debate with him. To tell him how important that necklace meant to me. But that was the last of him.
He was gone.

After ten minutes of finding my necklace I came across a kitchen an old kitchen, there were plates in the table and glasses placed in the table, like it never been touched before.

I kept going not caring where I end up, I'll care where I'm gonna end up as soon as I found my necklace.

"Hey" someone called from behind.
When I turned around I saw him, the guy with a bucket on his head.

"Is this what you're looking for?" He asked, handing me the necklace that hanging from the stick he's holding.

"Oh my gosh! You found it!" I exclaimed, taking the necklace. I put the necklace around my neck and looked up to him.

 "Why didn't you just gave it to me by hand?" I asked.

"I can't touch a human, and you certainly not supposed to be here, now that you found your necklace you can leave." He demanded.

I glanced at my necklace, "thank you" I say with smile. He stared at me, longer than I thought.

"Well, thank you again," I say bowing, when I glance up he turned his head to the right avoiding my gaze.

"Whatever, you're not supposed to be here" he mumbled. Kai's P.O.V

"Oh! I forgot to ask, what your name?" The girl asked.
"Kai" I answered, not thinking of the consequences.
What the heck! Why did I answer her!? Stupid!
While I was scolding myself for answering her, I didn't notice her staring at me. I cleared my throat and say "Anyway, you should go, it getting dark."

"Oh no!" She exclaimed, She looked at her watch "My mom's gonna kill me if I don't get back at 8" She says turning around.

"Thank you again, and I'm sorry," "Whatever, just hurry up" I said shooing her. "Oh, and by the way my name's Rika"
Rika, huh?

"Well, bye!" Rika waved while running.
"Be careful, you might trip!" I shout back.
What am I saying 'be careful, you might trip'? Seriously Standing there still, while seeing her disappear.

 "What a weird girl... Rika, huh"

END.......... 

Kira's Story

Katelynn lived in a palace in England with her mom Olivia her dad George and her 3 little brothers Timothy, Jeffery, and Christopher. Her parents were the king and queen of Macintosh. Katelynn's mom wanted her to be the princess but Katelynn didn't want to be a princess. Her mom expected her to be prim and proper like a princess but Katelynn wanted to run wild and be free. She wanted to act like a wild animal.
"Katelynn come here." Said her mom.
"What do you want mom?" Said Katelynn.
"I want you to put on this pretty dress and start acting like a lady. The Prince of Summerville is coming today and he wants to marry you."
"But Mom I don't want to marry him and I don't want to be a princess. I want to live my life the way I want it not the way you want me to."
"Katelynn, I am your mother. Why can't you accept what I telling you to do? You will do as I say. Now put on this dress. He will be here really soon."
"Fine mom". Said Katelynn.

"Ten minutes later the Prince of Summerville arrived.
"Katelynn! Come here! the Prince of Summerville has arrived. Bring him a plate of peach cobbler." Exclaimed her mom.
Katelynn went to the oven and brought out the peach cobbler but as she carried it out if the kitchen she tripped on the rug. She spilled the peach cobbler all over the Prince of Summerville.
"Ohh! I'm very sorry. I seem to be unable to balance today. I'll clean this mess up right away." Katelynn said.
"You better. I am allergic to peach cobbler!" Said the Prince of Summerville.
" Katelynn! This is an unacceptable way to treat the Prince of Summerville"!
"How I am I supposed to know Mom. I forgot all the proper stuff that you tried to teach me."
"Katelynn go to your room!"
With that the Prince left the palace and on his way out he slammed the door in disgust.  

"Katelynn do you realize that you have just offended the Prince of Summerville?" "No I don't realize that and I see no reason too. He is a dirty pig smelling barbarian and I do not wish to marry him."

"Katelynn that is no way to talk about the Prince."
"I don't care Mom. I will talk about him how ever I want. And nothing you say will ever change that."

3 weeks later when Katelynn was cleaning the family's private plane her mom said "Katelynn come on put on this dress it is the day of your wedding."
"I already told you. Mom I'm not going to marry the Prince if Summerville."
"Katelynn you will do as I say. Now put on the dress."

1 hour later they arrived at the church where the wedding was supposed to take place.

"Do you, Katelynn the princess of Macintosh, accept the Prince of Summerville to be your husband for the rest of your natural life?"
"I don't." The whole audience gasped. No one had ever said "I don't" before!
"Do you, the Prince of Summerville, accept Katelynn, the princess of Macintosh, to be your wife for the rest of your natural life?"

"No, I don't." The whole audience gasped again because they had never heard two people not want to marry the people at a wedding. "I do not wish to marry someone who dresses like a pig and acts like one too."
"Well I do not wish to marry the Prince of Summerville who is a dirty pig smelling barbarian." The whole audience drew in their breath. No one ever insults the Prince of Summerville's family.

"Katelynn, do you know what you've done? You've been a disgrace to the entire kingdom. Go to your room and don't come out until I tell you to."
"Prince of Summerville do you know what you've done? You've been a disgrace to the entire family. I am kicking you out. From now on your name will be changed from the Prince of Summerville to Billy the peasant." Said The King of Summerville. 

Billy was kicked out of the family and was never spoken to by his family again.
2 days later when Katelynn was watching cable television she decided that now

was a good time to talk with her mom. She said "Mom, why can't I marry who I want, not who you want?"
"Katelynn, I guess you're right I am being too hard on you. You can make your own decisions and marry who you want."

"Really Mom? Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes Katelynn. Marry who you want"
Katelynn never did get married and she only acted slightly better than a wild animal when her Mom was watching.

Jared's Story

     
     Dream in the Door by: Jared 


     "Cha-Ching" the cash register shouts. 
     "Have a great day and good luck with that contest of yours" yells the lady by the cash register. 
     "Thanks a lot lady acne" yells Kurogate as he opens the front doors and runs by the sidewalk. "Finally, my life long dream its coming true! Having a contest to win my love" says Kurogate thinking. 


     "Oh no! Im going to be late for class again, seriously I've been late since I have been thinking of that contest" says Kurogate scratching his head while he sits on a plastic plate. Kurogate uses his water powers to freeze the road with ice and make his bike run as fast as a plane. "Watch out!" shouts Kurogate to a normal school girl with a white school uniform crossing the street. Kurogate presses his breaks tightly as he can to stop  the bike from running. "Squeak!!" the bike shouts. The bike stops in front of the girl 1-inch away. 
     "Ahhhhhh" the girl screams at the top of her lungs. She runs away screaming to a back alley of a jewellery store. 
     "Wait!!! I have to give you something please I love....y" yelled Kurogate as his heart pounds. Its like Kurogate fell in love at first sight. As Kurogate turns to the back alley the girl disappeared without a trace. Kurogate scratches his head saying "I am turning crazy, it was all imagination" whispers Kurogate to himself. "Brngg!" The school bell rang, you can hear it from miles away. 


     "I am so dead to my uncle Nazer, he will think this is unacceptable waking up so late" says Kurogate disappointed with a frown face falling down to the ground. "I feel like I am on another planet right now". Kurogate opens he front doors of the school. There were no sight of one single student. The lights were all off in the school. "Ok, I woke up just for nothing?, theres no school YAY! This is the best day ever I thought I was going to plant some kind of tomatoes in the backyard of the school". Kurogate walks in the school doors thinking they were pulling a prank on him. "If you guys don't stop this prank ill tilt all of the tables in the school" shouts Kurogate hopeless as ever. A person comes behind him. Kurogate looks behind and says "Were peace yo, please don't kill me". The person takes a empty bag out of his pocket and puts it on Kurogate's head tight as possible. Kurogate faints all of the sudden. 


       The person takes him to a creepy place where no one wants to go. The garage of the school. The person opens the door of the garage and places Kurogate on a machine that was very blunt. Cables were popping up and a arm touches his head and Kurogate's head lights up. Kurogate wakes up and sees the person with a black suit. "Who are you!?" yells Kurogate creeped out. The person runs outside to go to the middle of a park. Kurogate feels a strange power inside him. He runs outside and he suddenly flies in the air like an eagle. Kurogate tries to find the person who took him. Kurogate looked left, right, up,and down. "Swoosh" here and there. He spot a girl that he saw before and she is wearing a black suit that looked like the person who took him. He flies to the girl with a blacksuit and lands on a sidewalk. "Please don't run away again from me" says Kurogate to he girl as he puts his hand on top of her shoulder. 
       "I am really sorry Kuro I love you and I wanted to give you your dream of becoming strong mage" says the girl.
       "I do not want to be powerful, I want to be with you Akane, I know your name by reading your mind by the powers you gave me" says Kurogate crying. Akane turns around and hugs Kurogate. Kurogate grabbed her and pushed her back slowly. "Akane listen well, my dream is only to find the girl I love, and I saw that girl with my eyes at first sight, that girl I saw was you, you are my life long dream my one and only dream" says Kurogate. "Akane...." Kurogate lays on his knees. "Akane, will you marry me?" Kurogate gives her a ring with a tag saying "I love you, please say yes". 
       Akane says "Yes!!!" As high as she can say it. Akane and Kurogate hugs eachother as fireworks flies up in the air like there was no tomorrow.
     

Livi's Story

Bye to all of my friends, goodbye to my favorite school, farewell to the only house I’ve ever lived in. Most of all good bye to my dad, whom my sister, Mom, and I are leaving in America due to their divorce. My mom got a new job in London, so that’s where she decided to move us.

In a way, I’m exited to move, it’s time for a change. Seventeen years of the same place, same people, same school, same house. I just wish some of my friends could come with me, instead of me leaving completely. My sister’s excited because she thinks we are going on a little vacation. Little does she know we have to switch schools tomorrow. She’s almost as shy as me and I’m really, really shy. I can’t even answer a question in class without stuttering.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPthe alarm screams out louder than ever, letting me know it’s time to move to a new high school. Great! I have literature first period, something I am good at. I pull up to the school parking lot, and of course, almost all the spots are full. So now I am having to park at the third furthest parking spot in the whole lot.

The school is very warm as I walk in the doors for the first time, unlike the bitter autumn outside. I take out my earphones as I approach the office to get my schedule. I find out literature is in room 108, close enough to my locker.

As I step into the class, all eyes are on me. I hate attention. I choose a seat by a girl with dark, almost brown hair. She introduced herself as Ashley. She said we would get along well and she showed me around. We soon learned we had almost all of our classes together. Throughout the week, we became really good friends. She even asked me to a party this Friday! That is only a day away.

As soon as the school day is over, I rush home in order to ask permission to go to this party. “I love that you are making friends,” said Mom disappointedly, “but I’ve never even met these people, and besides, you have to babysit your sister.” Defeated, I just let out a big sigh, and go up to my room and plan how I am going to get out of it.

It’s Friday! The school day passed so fast. In fact, the whole day did. It’s already 11 at night and I just put my sister to bed - time to leave.


 It’s about 12:45 am and now my phone keeps going off, but I ignore it, because this guy I am looking at is so cute. I finally check my phone. I missed 13 calls and about 20 text messages. They are all about my sister. Something’s very wrong.

“Ashley, drive me home now!”

We got into Ashley’s car and we are at my house in about fifteen minutes. When we arrive, there are five police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance. I sprint to the house. My mom is distraught, yelling at the police officer. He is explaining to her that he thinks my sister left at around 11:30 pm.

I did this. It is all my fault. I have to find her.

It has been two weeks since she’s been missing. Ashley’s taking me to the shops to take my mind off of things.

All of a sudden, a small pair of arms wraps my stomach. My shirt quickly becomes moist from my sister’s tears. Before I know it I’m crying too. My little sister is back! Where was she all this time?

When we all make it towards home, I am carrying my sister in my arms. I am wondering the expression on Mom’s face. She will be so happy to see both of us. Won’t she? Maybe not me, but for sure, my sister. Mom, I may have been the reason she ran away, but I found her! I am bursting with anticipation.

“Mom! Baby’s back! I echo through the house. No reply.
My sister’s back.
But where’s Mom?

Amy's Story

The bell rang and I hurried out the door. Slithering trough the hallways towards Sophia's locker. I see her and embrace her from behind. She looks up and me "Are you ready?" I ask.
"Just give me a minute." She replies
I wait in silence as she grabs her bag and touches up on her makeup.
"I'm ready" she said "let's go."
Hand in hand we squeezed through the overly crowded hallway hoping to get out the front doors.
We finally reached my car. Being the gentleman that I am, I opened her door and helped her in. We were off.
Our date had finally began, we were at the Hollywood Sign for a romantic picnic.
We sat and began to eat our potato salad when we jumped from the feeling of the sprinklers beginning to spray us. Without a hesitation I got up and grabbed her hand and we began to dance.
All of a sudden it all stopped, the lights flickered and turned off, the sprinklers sprayed their last drops, and the sky turned black. All I could see was a light come down shining bright on us. As the fumes entered my body I began to get dizzy and tired. I fell to the ground. That's it, it all ended.

 My eyes began to open, I looked to my side to see Sophia still passed out beside me. I lifted my arms and realized all the machinery I was hooked up to. I began to wiggle my fingers and my toes. I pressed my hands into the table below me pushing my body weight up to a sitting position. I looked around, the machines were lighting up and flashing, it smelled clean, very clean. The sounds of the machines were ringing in my head making it throb.
"What happened?" Sophia's very soft voice spoke almost like a whisper.
"I think we were," I paused "abducted by aliens." 
"Oh, well what are we going to do?" Sophia asked 
"Follow my lead" I took a deep breath, got up and ran out of the room, and Sophia followed close behind me.
"What are we looking for?" Sophia's whispered.
"Them." I answered almost instantly.
We slowly peeked around a corner quickly jumping back at the sight of the 8 foot tall, 16 legged, green beast standing 5 feet away from us.
"Stay here." I demanded.
I quickly tip toed behind him grabbing a pole that was laying on the ground, raising above my head and in a very fast motion slamming it into his head. Directly after millions of them began coming from around the corner. I picked up another pole.
"Sophia" I said startled.
"Yeah" she answered 
"think fast" I threw her one of the poles I had in my hand. She looked at the pole and back up at me.
"I'm not sure I can do this." She replied. I quickly shuffled toward her I grabbed her hands folding them around the pole 
"You have to." I looked up deep into her eyes. I could see the fear in her beautiful green eyes. But, I believed in her, I believed she could do it.
We began to run slamming the poles into every alien we saw. I glanced on I sign that read "control room -->" I ran around the corner toward the control room, with Sophia following close behind me. 
"In here." I quickly jumped into the room, and sat on the desk chair. "This is a unix system, I know this, it's seems all I have to do is hack in to them security terminal, override the system and direct us home."

Like A Dream-Adiam 817

      "Eww, I totally hate mustard." Chloe said with a irritated huff. She continued to frown at the sandwich which was loaded with the overly sour condiment.
     "I thought you said you hated ketchup?" A  boy around the age of eighteen questioned with a puzzled look plastered on his face.Chloe placed the sandwich back into her red coloured lunch kit.
       "Brandon, I already told you that was last week. Chloe stated in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. She then, rested her lunch caring container beside the tree; the two of them were sitting under. Brandon just shrugged in response and continued to devour his own packed lunch.
        It was quite quiet for the last day of school for these two high schoolers. Most of the kids either went out for lunch or stayed inside. Chloe and Brandon however, decided to take advantage of the warm summer day in their school's field.
        "You know." Brandon began as he swallowed the last of his mother's homemade tuna sandwich.
         " Your a senior in high school, yet you act like a kid in grade two." He ended with a playful smirk. Chloe glared at him in the same playful matter.
        " It probably because of all the studying I had to do to get into that university."
        " Yeah, well thankfully we both got in, right? Brandon said as he wrapped his left arm around Chloe's shoulder, giving her a quick peck on the cheek. Chloe sighed in happiness. Could life get any better than this? Done with high school, passed university exams, had a super amazing boyfriend, and summer was just around the corner.
       All of this to Chloe was just like a dream. Unfortunately for Chloe dreams don't last forever.

Glory Ann's Story

     It was a Friday afternoon in school. Me and my friends hung out for awhile at the playground. It was quiet in the playground because people weren't there anymore. My friend Karla decided we should go on a picnic this weekend and watch a movie afterwards. I wasn't sure if I had a ride but I still said yes. I missed my bus today, so I had to ask Karla's mom if she could drop me off. When I got home from school, I ate chips that tasted gross. It was quarter after 4. That's the time my mom gets off work. When she got home, I asked her right away if I could go to the picnic this weekend. She said, "You can't go because you have no ride." 
   I replied by saying, "Mom! That's unacceptable! I want to go out with my friends this weekend." 
She still said no. I texted all of my friends and I told them I wasn't able to go because I had no ride. They gave me some suggestions but my mom wouldn't let me anyways. 
    When I woke up the next morning, I noticed I  had a huge acne on my forehead. That made me mad for a bit. I wasn't in a very good mood this morning because of yesterday. My mom called me down to eat my breakfast, she also told me that my uncle can drive me tomorrow. I was very excited! I couldn't wait 'till tomorrow! I was very happy so I ran to my phone and I texted my friends. It felt like this day went by fast. I don't think I can sleep tonight because of how excited I was. 

         When I woke up, I got ready and got all of the stuff I had to bring. I brought some plate, table cloth for our picnic table and a tv cable just in case we watch a movie after the picnic. I called my uncle to get me.15 minutes later, my uncle came. I went into my uncle's car. It was dirty and it smelt a bit weird. I don't think my uncle cleaned his car. I didn't want to go in but I had to if I want to go. When I went in the car, he asked me what place we were going to. I told him to go to Assiniboine Park. 
          When we got there, I was relieved I left his car because it really smelt weird. My friends were already there before me. They were waiting for me to come. They had our food ready on the picnic table. I love the place my friends chose. There were plants everywhere. You can smell the grass around the park, which I liked. It was so quiet and peaceful. I can hear the kids playing around. I went to my friends and greeted all of them. Then I noticed, one of my friend was not there. Blunt wasn't there. They told me she had to go somewhere but she'll be meeting us at Karla's house when we watch a movie. 
      My friends and I heard a really loud noise. I looked up and saw a plane. That's where the noise came from. The sky was so blue. I can feel how hot it is. It really felt like summer. I realized how this planet is a great place to live in. We started eating. The food smelt so good. It also tasted delicious. Mostly the barbecue, Karla prepared for us. That was probably the best food I've eaten there. 
We finished eating, we were just waiting for Karla's mom to come. We walked around the park for a while. There were people everywhere. Even dogs. My friends saw a couple walking with 3 huge dogs. My friends knew I didn't like dogs, so they told me to look ahead. Something was coming. I looked, it was a dog. I ran as fast as I can to go back to our picnic spot. I didn't know if I would make it. I was exhausted. I was sweating and breathing heavily. 
        I made it. My friends followed me. The dog was following too, but the couple weren't doing anything. I don't think they even cared. Karla's mom came before the dog did. We hurried to her car and headed to their house. She bought us food on the way to their house. Blunt came after us. We all decided to watch The Conjuring. Good thing I brought my tv cable because Karla didn't have one.
It was 7 pm already. I had to go home or else my mom will get mad at me. We finished the movie then cleaned up afterwards. Karla's mom dropped us all home when we finished. I had so much fun today. 

Regine's Story

One morning a boy named Blunt and his Uncle Mike were on their way to California in a plane. The flight attendant was asking Blunt if he wanted some anything (food, water, etc...). Blunt said, "I'll have some slices of apples please." The flight attendant said, "Oh sorry, we barely have enough to fill your plate." The plane started to shake. The pilots announced to fasten their seat belts and tuck in everyone's table." Something was wrong with the plane cables. All of a sudden one man with acne all over his face stood up and demanded to know what was going on. The flight attendants told him to sit down and they will find out what is happening. Everyone was panicking throughout the plane for awhile. The plane was shaking so hard that a plant vase dropped on the ground and broke into little pieces. "It's like we're all gonna crash on a different planet!" said one man with nervousness in his voice. A woman replied yelling from across the plane "That's crazy! We're not gonna end up on a different planet! We're going to land in a place between the states of Utah and Colorado! After all that arguing an announcement came on. It was the pilots updating on what was going on. The plane had to make an immediate landing a pilot said.Colorado Airport is where they landed.Everyone got off the plane quickly and safely. No one got hurt or injured. Everything was now okay. While waiting for the next plane to arrive Blunt said to his uncle, "This is an unacceptable day." Uncle Mike replied with a giggle, "indeed it has." A few hours later the next plane to California came. "Let's hope this plane ride is  peace and quiet." Blunt said to himself. And off they went to the state of California.

It felt like a thousand years went by when I realized that the thing In the bush was carrying me it was soft back it felt like fur but it was large enough to hold me it was running so fast I couldn't get my eyes to focus on one thing, the odd part is that I can hear it's thought but then again I fainted anything could just not make sense any more maybe I'm crazy or dreaming. I can't check if I'm dreaming the thing would know I'm awake then but if I didn't the more I'm going to freak out it my mind it was then I felt the bones it it's back cracking and the fur under me getting softer and softer thinner and thinner then all I felt was skin then the world slowed down and I softly got laid on the ground they a couple minuets later I was picked up again I could smell cinnamon and ham but I was trying to decide in my head if I should open my eyes and meet my monster or not I opened my eyes slowly and waited for the worst. To my astonishment it was a handsome teenage boy that looked around my age.

His eyes were a beautiful blue with dark brown hair and a perfectly chiseled jawline. he looks down at me and smirks at me with his rose lips but I get lost in his eyes and don't notice him asking me something. he stares patiently at me when I give him a puzzled look he repeats it. 
"what's your name." he asks it with great wonder 
"Elizabeth Jane" I say and try to ask a question the suddenly cut off by a mans deep voice 
my insides seemed to curdle as he put me on a cold surface.

Gillian's Story

   Death Note 

     The street no one dares to go not even an insect dare to step on it shadow. There has been a lot of theories about this street. One theory was a man named L once crossed the boundaries and step on the street. What happened to him?Not even one of the detectives figured what happened, but they did find a book full of names. Exactly the first and last name of the people that had died in the year of 1978. All the detectives, police, or doctor don't know how these people die. There were no clues left not even a single fingerprint was on it. The first and only clue they had was the book title "Death Note." We could all assume they all died because of the book, but there's nothing to prove that with no evidence. We did hear someone who might know something about this book his name is Mr. Leo. Mr. Leo is investigator he has dark brown hair as we'll as his eyes, from what I heard he is nice, and kind to anyone.
 
     I was in front of a house that looked like a castle on the outside. As I go in to Mr. Leo's house you can see a painting as big as the wall. On the painting there was a street, a very dark street. I keep looking at the painting but, it was just a big dark street which made it more suspicious. Beside the big painting there was a door, the knob was full of dust. As you went in the room you could see dust everywhere, spider webs on every corner, very old furniture all around, and shelfs full of old books.

"Mr. Leo, would you mind if I ask if you have ever been in here before?" I ask quietly. 

"I've been here before, but this is my first time for about 2 years and a half" he answered." "oh here it is" he says as he took the book. "This book tells you about paintings, just like the one outside" he said pointing to the door with a the book on his hand.

     I looked at the front page and it said "Painters and Paintings". It seem that it has nothing to do with the case of "The Death Note."

"I should get some coffee upstairs, just wait here and feel free to look around" said Mr. Leo. 
     
     I looked through the books and as I flip in the pages I saw a painting called  "The Mysterious Person" and as I read through it, something caught my eye. "The key is to look at it with balance. Stare at it , but not staring at it for too much or else you won't find what you're looking for or you find what's hiding in it " it said. I looked back at the painting on the wall and it looked like it was the same planet as we are, but not really because there are three suns on the sky. I keep looking at it with balance to if there's something that's hiding. Then something caught my eye on the street there's a person in the painting picking up a book. So this painting was all an illusion, if you want to the person then you have to look at the painting with balance. I walked back upstairs, and saw Mr. Leo. 

I ask him "do you know anything about the big painting you have." 

He replied "of course I do know some information but not all." 
     We walked back downstairs before he began to talk he put down the coffee onto the clean table. I am sure glad it was not dusty I thought. 

He began to talk "This painting if you look at it with balance you can see a person, but if you look at it too long you won't see it that's why it is unacceptable to even look at it, and keep finding the person for hours if you do that for hours and hours you won't be able to find him." He took a break ,and took a sip of the coffee, and started talking again 

"The a lot of people have been here asking what that picture is but they are unable to find it because all of them examine the painting too long. As you can see there are three suns and I don't know why they say it might be in a different planet. I tried staring at the three suns then I saw what you called a palace back then or a castle in the middle sun. On left of the middle sun there's a another sun and if you stare at it with balance you can see the author name Kevin Liu. On the right of the middle sun you can see the date it was painted 03/09/78. That about all I know about the painting." I questioned "do you know if Mr. Kevin Liu is still alive."

"Yes I do but I don't know where he lives."Mr. Leo pointed out 

"Okay thank you for your time." I shook his hand before I left.

I left Mr. Leo home and went to the police station and the police handed me a folder. It was the book of the people written on the death note. They were all in the row who died first and last in 1978. I guess they figured who died first, but why did s/he wrote all these names there must be a reason.

I put all of the suspects name all in a row of who died first and last on my pin board and tried to find any clues. I stare at the pin board and notice a name spelling on each of the suspects first name spell Leonardo. Liam Santos, Evan Sanchez, Olivia  Short, Nicholas Nicolosi, Angel Santiago, Richard Rodriquez, Daniella Pearson, and Oscar Gomez. If you spell the first letter of theirs names it will spell L.E.O.N.A.R.D.O, and I began to think maybe it the last name of the criminal. I ask the police to see what Mr. Leo last name, and they said it Leonardo his full name is Leo Leonardo. 

I asked the police to give me the Death Note as I was examining and I notice the last page was ripped of it. I flipped it on the second last page. On the second last page L was written all over it. The page looks suspicious a look at the page more and it look like there was something written on it with an invisible ink. I looked for a blue light and found one in Mr. C desk and asked for it. I walked back to the room and flashed the blue light on the page and it said Leo Leonardo all over the page. I began to think he's the one who did it. I collected all the clues I found and it all leads to him. 

Fist Clue: the three suns in the painting, his house was built like a castle on the outside, and all the suspect died on the year 1978. Second Clue: all suspects first letter of their name that make up his last name. Third Clue: both his first and last name start with an L. Fourth Clue: the second last page of the death note which has L all over the page and his first and last name. 

While I was look at all the clues a sudden knock on my door that startled me. "Mr. Aiden I have found the address of Kevin Liu." Mr. C pointed out. " Okay just send me the address." I responded. I walked out of my office and locked the door. As I look through my message I saw Mr. Leo send me a message to meet him on Saturday afternoon at his house well I have three days to talk to Mr. Liu which is enough to ask a few question.

I went to his house it was very clean and the furniture were very new. 

"Take a sit." Mr. Liu interrupted. 

"Oh by the way my name is Aiden Jung." I pointed out. 

"What may I help you with Mr. Jung." Mr. Liu questioned. 

"I was wondering if you know anything about the Mysterious Person painting." I questioned. 

"I do, I gave it to my friend Leo Leonardo as present for his birthday" he replied. 

"Do you possibly know how to look at your painting with balance." I questioned 

"No I do not" he replied with a curious expression. 

"Aiden come with me I will show a painting I just finished" he suggested. 

   I stood up from the chair. As we walk through the hallway he opened a door and as he opened the door you can see painting every where and news papers he collected on the wall. He showed me a painting with three suns and a plane taking off straight at the suns. 

"That a very beautiful painting of yours Mr. Liu" I commented.
 
"Why thank you it my second painting with three suns. The other painting with three suns is the one I gave to Leo." He replied with a smile on his face. 

"Can I look a round" I asked. 

"Why not" he replied with a smile. As I look around the walls full of news paper. I got caught in one news paper saying "The Great Illusionist Leo Leonardo." I began to think that maybe Mr. Leo put on illusions on the painting when Mr. Liu gave it to him. "I walked back downstairs and saw Mr. Liu about to go back upstairs with two cups of coffee. 
"Mr. Liu is Leo Leonardo really The Great Illusionist?" I asked with curiosity.

"Why don't we sit down and have a cup of coffee first. He offered. After he took a gulp of his coffee he began to talk. "Leo Leonardo is The Greatest Illusionist I've ever met. He was a friend of mine for a long time. He can illusion anything, any object, anytime" Mr. Liu said. 

"Do you perhaps know anybody name L" I asked. 

"I do, and it's Leo. That was his nickname when he was still an illusionist" he replied. 

     After the coffee I bid my farewell and thanked him for his time. I went back to my office and unlocked the door. I walked to my chair and sat down.Then started to think If Mr Kevin Liu is a friend of Mr. Leo then maybe he putted some illusions on the painting. Then My phone started vibrating I looked at my phone and received a message from Mr. Leo. I read it and it shocked me he said that his house was caught on fire. I rushed to his house and before I could even touch the door knob it caught on fire which made me drop to the ground. I wasn't really shocked but somehow question my self if it was a real fire, it look real though. I touch the door know which is on fire and it didn't feel hot rather it was cold. I began to find look in the rooms but I couldn't find him. I ran to the last door and found Mr. Leo trying to commit suicide, but I caught him before that and handcuffed him. 

"Mr. Leo you arrested for killing Mr. Santos, Mr. Sanchez, Mr. Gomez, Mr. Rodriquez, Mr. Nicolosi and Mrs. Santiago, Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Short and for using your illusions in bad intentions." I said 

     The police came after an hour and took Mr. Liu. I walked inside where got the book "Painters and Paintings" and found a diary sitting on the table. I flipped to a page I read it "03/09/78 I found a book today it said "Death Note" I began to think why does the front cover say "Death Note" I write the first name that popped in my and it was Liam Santos. Liam Santos is the person I hate for ruining my life. he killed my parent which I love with all my heart but know I can't be with them because of him." I stopped a began to think he must've had a bad life. 

     I kept reading "06/09/78 I found out that Liam was dead and found in his house. They still don't know what happened to him there were no clues left at all. Not even a scratch was on him. I began to think that this book will take a way the life of a person if you wrote theirs names. I began to think a bout all the people that made my life a horrible since I was a child. I began writing names the second person I wrote was Evan Sanchez he is the one of Liam men that helped kill my parents along with Olivia Short and Nicholas Nicolosi. Fourth and fifth people Richard Rodriquez and Angel Santiago they were the one who adopted me. They treated me as their own child until they divorced. When they divorced they just left me on the street. Seventh and eight was Daniella Pearson and Oscar Gomez was the person behind the camera who told Liam Santos to get some men to kill my parents." I stopped reading and took the diary along to give to the police as another evidence. 
    I walked outside and began walking and examining and looking for evidence I stopped in front of the wall where the painting was I stared at it and it look like it there was some texture in the middle. I walked to the side of the wall and I looked from the side view of the wall. I notice there was a door knob I opened it and I got shocked that the last page of the book was behind the painting all along. I looked at the last page and his name is on it and a diary of why he wrote those name on the book. I gave those last two evidence to the Officer Park along with all the evidence I found. 

"You did a great job with this case if it weren't for you we wouldn't have solved it" Officer Park commented. "Thanks" I replied. "No thank you" he said with a smile on his face.

3 Months Later the jury found Mr. Leo guilty and is going to jail for life.

What is shiver?

Shiver is a small group of sharks. At GWMS our students are called sharks and during shiver time we split our students into two small shiver groups: one group stays with their LA teacher while the other group goes with another LA teacher.  The two teachers focus on different LA skills and work with students to enrich and improve their curriculum knowledge.
