A failing test grade- makes me think that a failing test grade isn't so bad because if I fail enough test I get to retake the class again. Who wouldn't love to learn the same material again. :)

Warm up Chapter 11

(GRACE was reading her favorite book when she looked up and saw the greenery, there were birds chirping, the sun was way to hot for her liking. So she sat under her favorite tree, on her favorite bench, reading her FAVORITE book. GRACE was content with her morning so far before her big interview with the boss. DANNY walked up and sits next to GRACE. His hair is all scruffy, his left shoe is untied, and he has big red bags under her eyes.)

DANNY: I just don't get it. Why me?

(GRACE is trying to ignore DANNYS negative conversation with himself. She does see that he is a business man by his Lord and Taylor suit with his gold Rolex.)

DANNY: I loved him, he didn't do anything to deserve this. He was so happy, smiling, breathing, living life.
GRACE: Sir?
DANNY: Hi sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your book about chocolate making.
GRACE: Are you Gay?
DANNY: What?
GRACE: Or like did somebody die? Idk I mean I was reading and having a good day before my interview, and then you came over, talked loudly, moaned about someone who was "living the life". Clearly you wanted me to ask what was wrong, so now that you interrupted me, whats wrong?

(GRACE was bothered, she was mentally preparing for this interview, and loving her book)

GRACE: I mean I'm trying to be nice, but you are annoying me.
DANNY: I'm sorry, I'm just having a rough morning. I tried to call out but I have to interview someone today. I hate being the boss sometimes.
(GRACE started thinking.)

GRACE: Oh I'm sorry, well where do you work?
DANNY: I'm the CEO of Snickers Factory.

(This was where GRACE was having her interview today!)

DANNY: I was having such a bad morning. I...
GRACE: So, who is this person you are interviewing?
DANNY: He was so loyal to me, and we have known each other since we were 10.
GRACE: How Many people are you interviewing for the position?
DANNY: He was there for me when I woke up, and went to sleep?

(The conversation was really one sided. GRACE did most of the talking while DANNY confided in GRACE.)
DANNY: I miss him so much.
GRACE: I'm trying to talk to you? Who even died that you are so upset about?
DANNY: my Goldfish Sandy died this morning.. And by the way you didn't get the job.

(DANNY got up and walked away leaving GRACE in awe. This was DANNY'S plan the whole time.)

I don't know, they all look so happy, and they are all smiling. Having a god time, drinking. The day was hot, and they were beat red, the sun was too hot. My mom had her hair up and my uncle had sunglasses rings under his eyes. The pool looked clear, and the sun was reflecting off the pool. My uncles girlfriend was leaning on him and his friend was probably laugh at a stupid joke. The beers were half underwater, they were probably floating in the deep end. They were laughing at my mom making a smile that was larger than life.

"No I swear I am okay." I knew this day was coming, I knew you were going to be there, and I was going to be there, and we were all going to be there. Staring at you. Smiling, crying, loving, being at peace. I was scared, my heart hurt. Your hand was still, your suit laid perfect.  There you were grey haired, pale. I wasn't afraid of you, I was afraid for you. Just being there, the wood was shiny, I could see my reflection in the oak. The gold stood out, I looked into it, and I could see the sadness, the tired faces, the heartbreak, looking back at me. White, red, blue, yellow, roses, to many. The pictures, I look, and I remember the time. I would watch you play softball with Daddy, and I would smile, now i will see them play softball, and I will cry.  I wanted it to be over, go home, go home, you go home, and I will go home. No more hurt. and no more pain. No more I'm sorry, please stop saying I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you are saying sorry. Number 23 everywhere, crying but smiling because he's happy. He smiles in heaven, he smiles because the cancer is over. He smiles because we are here, and he smiles because I love him too. Baseball heaven looks good on you, and so does heaven too. Don't be afraid because I'm  not afraid of you, I'm afraid for you.

I was cleaning my station at work annoyed that it was 9:30, and I still had a table sitting in the dinning room when I got a text from my Mom telling me to come home as quick as I could. Of course in my head I'm thinking every possible negative thing I could in my head, either someone died, or I did something really bad. When I finally left I drove home like a snail, not wanting to face devastation. I walked in the door, and my Mom was standing there staring at me. I felt my face get hot, and my heart was beating so loud I heard it in my head. She looked at me and said go downstairs your Dad is waiting to talk to you. So as I take the 3 steps down the stairs, which felt like an eternity. He said look, your brothers have something to show you, and there was my new puppy sitting on my brother Joe's lap. We had just lost our dog a few months ago, and it really hit my family hard, so to see this adorable brown fluff ball named Sophie sitting on my brothers lap was the best surprise.

Warm up- 259

Where is this?
The location is in Kansas in a gold cave, they are going on a tour to see gold and other kinds of rocks. The morning that they are is cold and steamy, it rained the night before so everything is sticky and damp.

Who are they?
This is Jenna who is married to Danny. They just got married 2 days and are stopping in Jenna's home town before they head off the their honey moon in the Dominican Republic. Jenna has long brown hair that almost touches her butt, she is skinny but very strong. You can tell Jenn works out by the creases in her shoulders under her tank top. Danny is really tall he is about 6'2, he has slick back shoulder length hair, with even bigger muscles that Jenna.

What problem do they face together?
The problem they are facing together is that as they were in the gold mind they heard a crack in the wall of the rock, of course they weren't the only people in there, they had their very short blonde, she only spoke when it was her turn and never took initiative at work, she was very reserved. Her name was Anna. Once all 3 heard the crack Danny knew it didn't sound good but Anna knew that it was time for all tours to end so she tried to gather everyone us to get out of the mountain. All the other tour guides ignored her and this is when Anna screamed and made everything worse. When Anna screamed at everyone in the mountain her voice was so pitchy she made the crack even bigger. Big pieces of rocks were falling from above, and everyone was trying to find an exit.

What problem arises between them?

The problem that arises is that once the rocks start to fall Jenna and Danny run but as they are running a rock falls on Jenna's ankle and she can't get up. Danny turns around and struggles to pick the boulder, the veins in Danny's arm and neck start popping and sweat is running down his forehead and back. Jenna is screaming in pain. Once Danny finally pulls it off he is out of breath, he looks pale and sweaty, Jenna sees this, she gets in front of Danny grabs his hand and tells him to follow her.

What is the story?

Once they get out of the mountain the police are outside waiting, one police man is fighting with a very distraught mother, her son is stuck inside and the police wont let her go back in. Jenna looks at Danny before he even said anything, she knew her new husband wasn't going to walk away knowing a little boy was stuck inside. Jenna turned around and kissed her pale, sweaty husband and said "go get him baby". Danny smiled and kissed Jenna hard, he turned around and ran back in,  Jenna limped behind the yellow caution tape and waited eagerly for her husband. Danny inside was sweating and his back was cramping from breathing so hard, he found the 4 year old blonde boy crying right before you could go down the stairs, Danny picked him up and started running. He tripped over a rock on the ground and fell dropping the boy. Danny broke his arm he was rolling around in pain, he looked over at the boy got to his feet. He scooped the boy up with one arm and sort of waddled out. Once he saw the light outside the cave he put the boy down and told him to run. Danny passed out, he woke up to Jenna dragging him outside the tunnel. Just as he looked up he saw the mountain begin to fall. Danny saw this and then everything went black...
