Since a cold blooded animal like Nessie would need to eat about three times its body weight each year, it could only weigh about 31 kg.

The palm trees on the reverse
are a delusion; so is the pink sand.

fractured coke bottles and the smell
of backed-up drains, too sweet,
like a mango on the verge
of rot, which we have also.
The air clear sweat, mosquitoes
%26amp; their tracks; birds %26amp; elusive.
Time comes in waves here, a sickness, one
day after the other rolling on;
I move up, it's called
awake, then down into the uneasy
nights but never
forward. The roosters crow
for hours before dawn, and a prodded
child howls %26amp; howls
on the pocked road to school.
In the hold with the baggage
there are two prisoners,
their heads shaved by bayonets, %26amp; ten crates
of queasy chicks. Each spring
there's race of cripples, from the store
to the church. This is the sort of junk
I carry with me; and a clipping
about democracy from the local paper.
Outside the window
they're building the damn hotel,
nail by nail, someone's
crumbling dream. A universe that includes you
can't be all bad, but
does it? At this distance
you're a mirage, a glossy image
fixed in the posture
of the last time I saw you.
Turn you over, there's the place
for the address. Wish you were
here. Love comes
in waves like the ocean, a sickness which goes on
%26amp; on, a hollow cave
in the head, filling %26amp; pounding, a kicked ear.

How am I supposed to react to this!?!?
In a nut shell, not going into details, my best friend and i felt like hanging around with some of my brothers friends cuz we really get along well. When my brother showed up, he had some issues with it. He would up throwing his heavy duty shoe at me, then punching me at first. I could live with that. The he started up a converstion with his a**hole friend about how a**hole's little sister, one of my good friends, and me are lessies and a gay couple. That started to push my buttons. Then he starts spitting on me. After about the fifth time spitting lougies on me, I'm pissed. Then, the thing that really had me boiling: he found an empty beer bottle on the ground at decided to smash it over my head.
I have to live with him every day! How the heck am i supposed to react to that!?!?
And I have issues with hurting people, so i usually wind up physically hurting myself until I'm satified. I have marks were I scraped the skin off my palms and I bit through my cheek twice-Help!
How am I supposed to react to this!?!?

Have you tried snorting alcohol to stop allergy attack?
I tried warm water but got a very bad sinus infection. Out of desperation, I tried alcohol. It worked! Just a little tiny bit in the palm of your hand. It stings for 10-20s but it is WAY better than sneezing all day or feeling the spins from pills. Note this only works if you do it within the first minutes of feeling the attack. Perhaps a few times in a day. Whiskey works the best for me (maybe because of the burnt oak?). Buy one of those mini alcohol bottles with your favorite flavor, keep a paper cloth with it, and be done with the ultra-annoying all-day allergy attacks.
Note that this is COMPLETELY different than snorting alcohol to get drunk. That is dumb. This is an actual medical use. I think the alcohol (a) cleans out the noise (b) closes up the open mucus membranes and (c) halts the exploding cells due to the histamines (hence the itchiness).
Have you tried snorting alcohol to stop allergy attack?
Huh? OUCH!! Glad it worked, otherwise I can't see how it would be worth the pain...but as long a you're feeling better...interesting, interesting
Reply:Yup been there done that. I used Jim Bean and dont have the sting. Home rememdies I love em.
Reply:The alcohol is probably working in the same way warm water and salt work, only it's not as effective.
You can buy saline nose spray at the store. (NEVER buy regular nose spray because it's habit-forming within three days.) Or, if you feel an attack coming on and have none, mix a pinch of salt with warm water and inhale it.
The salt works on mucus the same way it works on a snail. It dissolves it.
I must say, I've had sinus problems all my life, have seen many allergists, gone through all kinds of treatments (including weekly shots), but I've never heard of inhaling alcohol....Now drinking it to forget about how miserable your allergies are making your feel....That's another story!
Reply:Hmmmm.
Reply:What kind of alcohol are you using? If you are using rubbing alcohol it could be lethal. Try saline (salt water) people have been using it for centuries to help clear the sinuses.
Reply:First off, I have to ask if you are really serious abt this one? If you are, this suggestion is not too wise. Actually it could injure the mucus membranes of your nose. If this truly was a curative for allergy symptoms (ie: histamine reactions) don't you think that it would be used in modern medical/allergy practices? Please don't advise others to use this method unless you are a medical (licensed professional). However, if it works for you personally, and you have no problem with it...good luck.

I became cold towards him,and angry,he turned me (scorpio) into a Black Widowed Spider.I hated him for what has happened.He comes from a family with schizophrenia,drug abuse,alcohol abuse,mental problems,and I was seeing alot of mental problems starting at the end stages of our relationship,he was getting into porn,he worked for a place where they take care of mental patients (it's true)and got fired for abusing one of them,he steals things whereever he goes,but one thing he loved his children they were his life,but he could only take care of them with a bottle in his mouth, He has never been abusive through the whole time we were together,I myself yes did attack him twice,one for getting me evicted,and second for me having to put my 2 dogs asleep,I had to deal with this all by myself.I kept kicking him out,and then allowing him back,then the last time was Christmas he came back,I was doing very well for the children and myself,I felt like living again and was so happy,I remained alone with the children,but let him back to try again,then it was like I felt like dying again,he new it was over,he did try,but the booze and pills still continued,I would look at him like I wanted to rip his head off,I stayed away from him so I went into my son's room to clean it this was a couple of days after Christmas,he wasn't working at that time I paid for everything,at this time he was going through about 7 days withdrawl from the pills,so he was drinking heavy,but whenever he drank,he's a happy person,you would never know he just consumed 15 to 20 beers. It was the strangest things,I could never understand,and still can't. He came down into my son's bedroom with a diaper,I was working for hours in the house cleaning and then taking a 5 minute brake,he told me to change my daughter's diaper,I looked at him and told him to do it himself,he took the diaper and shoved it into my mouth,I started kicking him and told him to get the f away from me,I got up and went into the kitchen,he followed me and through the bay wipes at me so I bent down to pick them up then while I was down he came in back of me and started to shove the baby wipes into my mouth.I couldn't breath,I got away abit on my knees,and then he started kicking me,I turned and looked up and there he was kicking me with a smile on his face but he wasn't the only one kicking me my 4 year old son was kicking me too,both were laughing,I looked at my son and said don't do that to mommy,I got up,and he used the palms of his hands to hit me in the ribs and chest,I freaked out and started to fight back,my son at this time was at my feet laying on the floor,his father kept hitting me and I was falling on my son,trying not to fall on him,my son later said daddy was stepping on my hair,my son was pinned to the ground by his hair,my son got up and his nose was bleeding,I looked at my son but his father was in front of me blocking me with his hand,so I fought to get away,then I was some how on the ground again,and I couldn't stop screaming,I went into shock,then I realized I had wet myself,I grabbed the counter to pull myself up,and went to help my son,I put him in my room,I grabbed the phone and he said he would kill me if i called the police,then he wasn't there in the room,I tried the phone but there was no dial tone,so I proceded to the basement,and there he was moving away from the wall,he had unplugged the phone lines,so I kept trying til I could get them back on,and i did, so I called his father crying and told him what has happened,and to get his son out of my house,and he replied he wasn't going to do that,and for me to call the police,but I knew i couldn't.I also called my sister.He listened to my phone calls,after I grabed the phone and a knife and went to my room where both my children were now sleeping.I locked my door and stayed awake all night afraid,he didn't come near me,I knew had to leave early in the morning for an appointment so I waited and when he left around 6 or7 am,I came out of my room and locked all the doors,now I knew I had him out and if he did try to re enter it would be break and enter and I would have called the police,on Jan 12 we heard from him again,he threatened me if I call the police, and we haven't heard from him yet,that same day I checked all windows in the house to make sure they were all locked,the basement windows have boards and thing up in front of them and I found 3 windows unlocked,I new it was him,and the boards and things were placed back,I keep my children with me everynight, I'm afraid,I don't sleep at night I protect the house,I wait for the sun to come up then I rest,I'm tired,hurt,exausted,the pain from the attack was bad I had problems breathing my ribs ad chest hurt so bad,it took a month to heal,the children I keep very busy,and happy.I am ready to go to the police station and report him,but it's been a month,no doctor records,but I did take pictures of the bruises.I told my son what his father has done is very bad,and that was the end of the story. He will never see his son again,nor does he care,no financial help at all. LOVE AND WAR!
Libra And Scorpio Love And War!?

Reply:You are crazy yourself to bring such a story to horoscopes!!! Why? and why call it love and war? like some kind of drama soap opera? You needed to call the cops right then and there... F* him and his threats!! Your children come first and for your son to join his dad, there's wrong msgs going on there, there are no boundaries... you need a whole new life, you're living in hell
Why feeling poorly after minimal alcohol?
I used to go out quite a lot with my friends, and drink stupid amounts (silly i know) and the next day be fine, im talking about a year ago. But very recently, if i have just one glass of wine, or one bottle of beer, the next day i feel like ive had a barrell, i feel sick, i feel dizzy, my palms go bright read and tingling and i feel very hung over. This is no exageration, literally one beer and im in a state the next day. Does anyone know of any reason what this could be, or cause, or explanation? Thanks in advance!
Why feeling poorly after minimal alcohol?
Lala is correct - your system is no longer acclimated to the alcohol. . . not that I would suggest RE-acclimating to it either.
Try eating while you are drinking (not salty snacks), drink plenty of water before, during and after you have alcohol and take a couple of headache tabs when you get home and before you go to bed.
Reply:Do you drink a fair amount of other fluids before you drink alcohol? It could be as simple as drinking some extra fluids to compensate for the dehydration brought on by the alcohol, even in small quantities. Also, try taking a multivitamin.
Reply:because you havent had that much alchol in your system for a while it makes you feel bad after you havent has any and then all of a sudden you have alchol.....its kinda like when you you first have alchol you feel really terrible.

So an another stranded on an island.....?
so u recovered from the last island game and now ur back in the city, but u the city is overwhealmed for u and u miss the simlicity of the island but u also met ur future fiance and u promised her that u will be waiting an another island on with u will prepare the living standards. And beacuse ur not very rich u only afford to rent a small plane to get there ( boats or ships are not available, cause a strange thing are happening when u get to close with boats, they just dissappear), and u can pack only a few stuff and on the island there are a few palm trees, a parrot, an adolesen bird who was left from the migration behind and 5000 bottles of the greates whiskey hidden by some pirates and was left there years ago. So the question is what stuff would u bring to the island to make the accomodations for u and ur future wife? And write exactly how will u use the stuff u brought and on the island.
So an another stranded on an island.....?
I would make sure my future wife could type out words completely, then I would bring comfortable bedding, a couple of easy chairs, TV and a satellite. Ad solar panels to power it all.
Reply:u think u are cute, but when u use 'u' too much it make me not wanting to finish it. I hope it was funny
Reply:pack the whiskey and sell it
thats too long to read u shud make it less
Reply:Tips:
1. Don't use the word 'u' too much, especially in the wrong places. 'but u the city is overwhelmed...'
2. Use MORE punctuation.
3. Get straight to the point. i got bored: it was too long.

What do you think of my story ?
I’m on the roof of a thirty story building,surrounded by empty bottles of beer and a whole bunch of people watching me anxiously.I got up and walked towards the edge of the roof;the wind blew through my hair and whirstled in my ears.Never once had i ever felt so void of worries and so peaceful at heart.
Tears fill my eyes and blurred my vision.I start feeling all warm inside and for the first time in 10 years, i smiled.I’m balancing on the side of the building,concentrating on placing one foot in front of the other and moving forward.On my left,there’s the view of the city from 50feet up.Everything below seem so small yet beautiful the lights look like fireflies of different colours.....to my right,i see the source of my hatred ,people of different colours, different races and religions but they all add up to one thing .....hypocrisy.
“cough....,cough!” I remove my hand from my mouth as i felt a wet and sticky substance on my palm.It was of such rich colour of red,my favourite colour.I giggled and my throat hurt.I guess i’m ready to go,i can’t wait anymore.My illness is already promting me.I take one last look at the crowd.My eyes scan through it and every thing started moving in slow motion.I spread my arms out wide,like an eagle soaring.My blood dripped from my hand onto the floor”drip..drip..drip..”
Gravity slowly dragged my body towards the earth and i began tilting ,falling over ....then,someone emerged from the door leading to the roof with a bang and ran towards me with hands outstretched.I was getting further from that famillar face i was waiting to see but i could still see him there,bending over the edge with tears in his eyes,shouting something hardly audible,people restraining him .......
Now,my final wish is fufilled, i can go in peace. I close my eyes.My tears falling along side me,the conners at the sides of my mouth continue remainding in an upward position; Icontinue smiling.As i recall the few happy membories i had with him,my only kin,my brother.The time when we first met,the time when he brought me out of the hospital ,when he was with me during treatment and finally the last happy memory he has given me before i go.
“Thud!”,i landed. Blood quickly gathered into a pool around me .No,not arround me but my 17year old body.My spirit is now free to roam where it please,freedom at last.A weightless form rising up towards a place where all souls go after death.

I started a new job and its killing my face and hands. what can i do?
i work at a pepsi distrbuter and my job is destroying the skin on my hands and face.
i do 2 things
1 i crush cans and bottles. to do this i am given gloves that are cotten on the back and rubber on the palm. by the end of the 2 hours my hands are soaked in soda and burning and itching like crazy. i also get soda on my face from dumping bags on used soda cans above my head, and in to the machine.
mart 2 of my job has me wasking trucks. to do this i put on my water resistant jacked and use this pink car washstuff and get to work.
normaly i dont mind if my hands and face get dry but i am starting to get welts and they itch and are getting nasty!

quiting my job is out of the question, i took me 2 years to get a job.
i am male 21 and in need of help!
I started a new job and its killing my face and hands. what can i do?
Work the **** job and enroll in community college.

Reply:Have you considered putting a protective layer of Vaseline or other petroleum based protector on your skin. It would provide a layer of protection as well as moisturize your skin while being less effected by the sugar water acids of the soda.
You may also wish to invest in different glove wear and head protecting gear. Find out what other co-workers do. These conditions would actually be against OSHA regulations unless there are further protections available. So, ask about it.
Also, Vaseline every night would help to moisturize between times on, and is a safe way to lock in natural moistures.

I started this story last year, and it seems like a lot of people liked it. How do I get it published?
When I'm done, I mean. Here is the story if your interested:
I was 13 when I wrote this:
Chapter 1: Nicholas Name (naah may)
"Ms. Shepard, I don't understand this." Shelby had her head ****** to the side, waiting for our seventh grade math teacher to turn away from her boiling hot cup of coffee. Ms. Shepard finally turned around with that harsh scowl on her orange over-tanned face.
"What is it THIS time?! Can't you see I'm busy?!" Shelby's small body quivered at every word. She almost looked like she was going to break under the pressure. After glaring at her for a few more seconds, Ms. Shepard rose out of her seat.
A fly buzzed over her Ziplock baggy of crackers. She swung at the fly, and in her rage, knocked over her mug of coffee. It went down, almost as if it was in slow motion, then splattered a brown mixture over her desk, the classroom tiles, and the carpet.
"Man!" I thought silently to myself. This would just make everything harder on me. Ms. Shepard's beady eyes pierced an imaginary hole in Shelby's head. As her eyebrows continued to furrow deeper than anyone thought possible, my class shuddered. Shelby hid her head in her hands, bracing for an attack.
"This is all YOUR fault!" Ms. Shepard inched towards Shelby. I was sitting directly behind Shelby, so from my angle, it almost looked like Ms. Shepard was glaring at me. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. Ms. Shepard stuck her finger in Shelby's pale, frightened face.
"While the rest of the class goes to lunch, I want YOU to stay behind and clean this place up!" Saliva flew out of her mouth as she screamed, showering all over Shelby and I. I shielded myself with my raincoat.
"Sheesh, Ms. Shepard," I paused in mid-sentence to make sure that the class was focusing on me. They all covered their mouths with their hands in anticipation. Then I continued, "I didn't know that rain was in the forecast today!"
A few snickers were heard around the classroom. Ms. Shepard turned even more orange, but recovered quickly. Suddenly, a crooked grin broke out on her face.
"It wasn't NICHOLAS," she knew that I hated to be called by my full first name. She continued, “so I guessed you wouldn't mind it if I took..." She reached her old wrinkled hand out and tugged at my jacket. When she realized that she couldn't get it off that easily, she gave me a look.
I returned it with a smirk, and said, "Oh, did you want this?" and slid it off. She snatched it up. The class snickered a little louder. Ms. Shepard snapped, “What’s so funny?!" and they averted their eyes.
She turned to me, “You have a lunch detention as well, Mr. Nicholas NAAAH MAAAY." She dragged out my last name, mocking me. "Yes, you get to prepare the PERFECT cup of coffee for your FAVORITE teacher."
"Sure, I'll make you some coffee." I said. "Besides, those poor teeth of yours need a break from grinding up all those coffee beans."
Ms. Shepard's eyes turned red with rage. It looked like they were bleeding. My class tried hard to suppress their laughter. "She looks like she's got Pinkeye..." I muttered under my breath. Those nearby me busted out laughing. "Nickname's done it again!" the guy behind me whisper-shouted.
See, my name is Nick Name, pronounced 'nah-MAY’ . But since it looks like the word nickname to most people, that's what everyone calls me. When people noticed my name for the first time, I was teased a lot. But after awhile, I embraced it and begin giving other people and things nicknames.
Ms. Shepard slammed her palms onto Shelby’s desk and bellowed, ”Nicholas! We will discuss your punishment in private! For now, I want you all out of here! Everyone EXCEPT for these two brats!”
The class raced out in a panic, and ran to the cafeteria. On her way out, I heard one girl whisper to another frantically,”…crazy lady will kill them! She’ll probably eat them for lunch!” The other girl whispered back, “Let’s get outta here! There’s no telling what that witch will do!” The first girl whispered again, “Maybe she’ll feed them poisoned apples…’
Finally they ducked out the door. When the last person left the room, I took a deep breath. I had a plan that I HAD to pull off during this detention. It determined whether Ms. Shepard would ever teach or live, ever again. And it involved something very similar to a poisoned apple.
Chapter 2: 30 Minutes of Hell
I’ve gotta admit, lunch detention was nerve wracking, but I had promised myself that I would pull it off today. The plan, I mean. But before I tell you what happened, let me say that Ms. Shepard is the most evil person…EVER. And everyone knows that I am the student that she hates the most. She was my fifth AND sixth grade teacher. When my parents found out about her ‘stalking’ me, they wanted me out of her class.
“It’s not right for teacher’s to play favorites, “ my mom had said. My dad was a bite more cautious. “Crazy people live here in New York. We need you outta that class!” He didn’t like how she followed me all the way into middle school.
Anyways, everyone says she’s going to kill me on day. One of my friends joked that she was like a tiger hunting. In fifth grade, she was crouched down, waiting for the opportunity. Then, in sixth grade, she was in the middle of making her leap. At the beginning of seventh, she was about to land in for the kill. And that’s exactly what she did. I am POSITIVE that Ms. Shepard was responsible for the death of my mom. But there is no physical evidence.
It had been a week after the mysterious murder when I came up with a plan. I wanted that lady dead. Every day since the murder, when I walked into her class, she’d give me some sort of clue as to the fact that she had killed my mother. The day before my mom was murdered, she made me stay after class.
“Tell your mother I said good-bye,” she had said. My mom often traveled because of her job, so what Ms. Shepard said had had a double-meaning. I tried to talk to the police about this, but they said that I was going through a common stage of the grieving, and sent me to see a psychologist. Now on to my story.
After the rest of the class had left for lunch, Ms. Shepard gave Shelby and I the evil eye. Shelby shook with fear, but I… actually, I can’t remember WHAT I was doing. I was lost in thought.
Anyhow, Ms. Shepard finally broke the silence and turned to Shelby. You can probably tell by now that Shelby is a small, timid little girl who doesn’t cause trouble. But Ms. Shepard spoke to her like she was some kind of escaped convict. She kept saying, “OR ELSE!” at the end of all of her sentences-even if it didn’t make sense. She knew she was freaking Shelby out, and was enjoying every minute of it.
“YOU, Shelby, can get some soap and paper towels and clean up that coffee spill! OR ELSE!” Then the hag turned to me. “And YOU, Nicholas,” She paused. She knew that I hated people to call me by my full name, “YOU have the privilege of making your DARLING teacher a fresh cup of coffee!” My hands unconsciously flew to my jeans pocket. “And what a privilege it is, Ms. Shepard.” I said as I passed my fingers against the bottle in my pocket. Ms. Shepard showed me to her coffee pot in the other room which she had named Henry.
“Henry, this is Nicholas. Nicholas, Henry.” She attempted to smile, but it came out as a scowl instead. Ms. Shepard began explaining how to use ‘Henry’ while I tried my hardest not to laugh. She seemed to be serious. As she was nearing the end of her explanation, a crash was heard.
“Oops!” we heard Shelby exclaim from the classroom. Ms. Shepard, fearing the worst, yelled over her shoulder for me to figure out the rest and raced to Shelby’s side. She’s pretty fit for an old lady. “What great timing,” I thought as I slipped the contents of the bottle into the coffee pot. But the time the coffee was finished, Shelby had been sent out of the room in tears.
“I can’t take it anymore! Get out! Get OUT!” Ms. Shepard was yelling after Shelby. I hurried to bring the coffee to Ms. Shepard. “It’s finished!” I chirped. But I guess I seemed too chipper, because Ms. Shepard offered me a drink from the mug first. She had suspicions that I had done something rude to her drink. “Come on, I’m sure that you’d like it if you made it yourself!” She had a smug smile on her face.
I would have to take a sip of the concoction or she’d NEVER drink it! So I got another much and took a bit. “A little toilet cleaner never hurt anyone…” I thought to myself as I drank the coffee. I had to load it with sugar and make it very strong to block out the bleach-y smell of Pine-Sol. It actually wasn’t bad. Aside from the slight burning sensation in the back of my throat.
Ms. Shepard watched as I downed my sip of coffee. When I was finished, she took a sip. Then another. And another. Until FINALLY, she had finished. I was surprised that she hadn’t complained. “Good job Nicholas,” she said. Then she sent me off to lunch.
Chapter 3: Mixandra
That Friday night I couldn’t sleep. When we had gone back to class after lunch, Ms. Shepard wasn’t there. The principal was, and he explained that Ms. Shepard was in the hospital. “She is in critical condition, but the doctors can’t figure out what the problem is. If you noticed anything different about Ms. Shepard, or have the slightest idea what might be wrong with her, your comments would be greatly appreciated.” I felt like he was staring straight at me as he said that. but nobody could suspect me. Yet.
In seventh period, the last class of the day, people kept passing notes and whispering. I even thought I saw a few kids point at me. At first I brushed it off, thinking it was all in my head. But I could have sworn I heard someone say the word, ‘coffee’, and I started to get really nervous. Luckily, I had planned for this.
In case I suspected I had been found out, I had left a large hiking backpack filled with food, water, a tent, blankets, etc. in my locker. I figured that could last me a while until I could find a place to stay if I had to make a run for it. Just then, there was a call over the classroom intercom.
“Mr. Parkson?” a female voice said. “Yes ma’am.” replied my teacher. “We need Nicholas Name in the seventh grade office please.” Mr. Parkson glanced at me, and when our eyes met, he flinched a little. He managed to stutter an OK, and motioned for me to leave.
At this point, you can’t even imagine how I felt. I tried my hardest to look casual, and got out of my seat. On my way out the door, I passed a guy with white blond hair. He whispered, “Did you do it?” to me. I tried to give him a blank stare as I whispered back, “ Do WHAT?” But I didn’t give him a chance to reply. I just walked quickly out the door.
I knew one thing for sure. I was NOT about to go to the office. So I headed to my locker. I looked around quickly once I got there. If someone saw me leaving with a backpack, I’d be questioned. I thought that the coast was clear, but suddenly I saw a man walk around the corner. He did a double-take when he saw me.
“Where are you going with that backpack Mr. Name?” He gave me a stern look. “How do you know my name?” I asked. Suddenly I realized that he was the new vice principal. I was still shocked that he knew who I was and how to say my name, because we had never met before.
“That’s not important,” he said. “Come with me.” He turned and began walking towards the office. My first instinct was to buck out of there, but he was young, and looked pretty fast. Plus I would be handicapped with my fifteen pound bag. I decided to fight. His back was still turned, so I reached down and picked up a couple of rocks.
“I’m sorry,” I said as prepared to launch the rocks. “It’s not me you should be apologizing to,” he said as he reached for the walkie-talkie at his waist. “Actually, I mean I’m sorry for THIS!” I started chugging rocks at him. When he turned around, one smacked him right in the nose. He held his face and cried out with tears in his eyes. His nose was bleeding! He snatched up his walkie-talkie, and spoke angrily into it. “I’ve got him! He’s running towards the parking lot!”
I ducked around the corner and began running towards the ladies room. Earlier on, I had plastered an ‘Out of Order’ sign on the door to keep everyone out. Now I was hoping none of the janitors had looked into it. I opened the door and dived in. But then my jaw dropped down. A girl was in here! Now I know that sounds pretty dumb, since it IS the ladies restroom, but the sign on the door should have kept everyone out!
The girl’s head shot up, and she dropped the bag of chips she had been munching on. “Nick! The guy’s room is on the other side!” That’s when I realized it was only my friend Alexandra. She had been eating a texting on her cell in here all period. She saw my backpack and grinned. “So you’re skipping class too? By why seventh period?” She gave me a confused look.
“Keep it down! They’re after me!” I panted. “My bad. Don’t worry. Nobody’s in here.” She replied. “Shh!” I said. I had heard the static from the walkie-talkies outside. “Shoot, you got the whole staff after you!”
Now I was getting angry. “Shut UP Mix!” If they heard people talking in an out of order restroom, they would get suspicious. “Ay, I ain’t the mixed one. You’re the half Asian half white boy. I’m 100% Latina!”
“Mixandra, look. The police are out there trying to arrest me! You’ve got to be quiet!” I called her Mixandra because of her dream to become a DJ. “The policia?” she whispered.
We stood in silence for a few moments until Mixandra lost her patience, which she really doesn’t have much of. She pulled out her cell phone and began furiously texting something. Then her face lit up.
“Check it Name! I’ve got something!” She shoved the Motorola in my face. The small colorful screen read:
OK. GOT A PLACE 4 U 2 STAY. SWING BY DA BASE.
She tugged excitedly on my arm. “Vamanos!” Mixandra really can’t speak much Spanish, but whenever she gets a chance, she does. “Hold up, where are we going?” I didn’t hear anyone outside, but I was still hesitant. “A friend! You’ll like him! Promise!” She smiled. “His name’s Alejandro! Come on, it’s not like you have anywhere else to go.”
She had a point. “Don’t you even want to know why the whole school’s after me?” I asked. “I’d rather not. But don’t worry about it! Alejandro doesn’t know about that. I just told him that you are running away from home…like me.”
“You’re running away?!” I was shocked! “But you always said that would ruin your chances of majoring in music!” Alexandra rolled her eyes. “Si, but that was BEFORE I met Alejandro. He’s got great music contacts. And I can trust him.”
She explained how she was planning on going over to his ‘base’ in about half an hour, but when she told him about my urgent situation, he told her to come by now. She told me how Alejandro had tons of things at the base.
“Computers, TVs, video games, you name it, that man has it!” Mix looked pleased. “All that belongs to him?” I whispered as I pushed open the bathroom door. “How old is this guy?” “Sixteen, and he just got his Driver’s.” Mixandra seemed proud as she said, “He’s a high school drop out.” “WHAT?!” I whisper-screamed, “What’s wrong with you?! For all you know, he could have STOLEN all that crap!”
“Nick, he didn’t STEAL it. His parents were rich! They left him a fortune!” “So he dropped out to take care of runaways?!” I retorted. “Come ON, Mix! I thought you were smarter than that! Or maybe your going to tell me he’s your BOYFRIEND, now? Is-” she cut me off. “Don’t talk to me about intelligence, ok? Who’s the one getting chased by the po po? Now I wanna know what you did!”
I sighed, ”You don’t wanna know.”
“Does it have anything to do with all the sirens I’ve been hearing?!”
“…Yeah…Look, Mix, I’m sorry. Maybe I CAN trust him. After all, it take a long time before YOU can trust someone…”
“That’s okay,” Mix said. “Come on before the school staff finds us…”

phew!!! no idea...
good though...

“Henry, this is Nicholas. Nicholas, Henry.” She attempted to smile, but it came out as a scowl instead. Ms. Shepard began explaining how to use ‘Henry’ while I tried my hardest not to laugh. She seemed to be serious. As she was nearing the end of her explanation, a crash was heard.
“Oops!” we heard Shelby exclaim from the classroom. Ms. Shepard, fearing the worst, yelled over her shoulder for me to figure out the rest and raced to Shelby’s side. She’s pretty fit for an old lady. “What great timing,” I thought as I slipped the contents of the bottle into the coffee pot. But the time the coffee was finished, Shelby had been sent out of the room in tears.
“I can’t take it anymore! Get out! Get OUT!” Ms. Shepard was yelling after Shelby. I hurried to bring the coffee to Ms. Shepard. “It’s finished!” I chirped. But I guess I seemed too chipper, because Ms. Shepard offered me a drink from the mug first. She had suspicions that I had done something rude to her drink. “Come on, I’m sure that you’d like it if you made it yourself!” She had a smug smile on her face.
I would have to take a sip of the concoction or she’d NEVER drink it! So I got another much and took a bit. “A little toilet cleaner never hurt anyone…” I thought to myself as I drank the coffee. I had to load it with sugar and make it very strong to block out the bleach-y smell of Pine-Sol. It actually wasn’t bad. Aside from the slight burning sensation in the back of my throat.
Ms. Shepard watched as I downed my sip of coffee. When I was finished, she took a sip. Then another. And another. Until FINALLY, she had finished. I was surprised that she hadn’t complained. “Good job Nicholas,” she said. Then she sent me off to lunch.
Chapter 3: Mixandra
That Friday night I couldn’t sleep. When we had gone back to class after lunch, Ms. Shepard wasn’t there. The principal was, and he explained that Ms. Shepard was in the hospital. “She is in critical condition, but the doctors can’t figure out what the problem is. If you noticed anything different about Ms. Shepard, or have the slightest idea what might be wrong with her, your comments would be greatly appreciated.” I felt like he was staring straight at me as he said that. but nobody could suspect me. Yet.
In seventh period, the last class of the day, people kept passing notes and whispering. I even thought I saw a few kids point at me. At first I brushed it off, thinking it was all in my head. But I could have sworn I heard someone say the word, ‘coffee’, and I started to get really nervous. Luckily, I had planned for this.
In case I suspected I had been found out, I had left a large hiking backpack filled with food, water, a tent, blankets, etc. in my locker. I figured that could last me a while until I could find a place to stay if I had to make a run for it. Just then, there was a call over the classroom intercom.
“Mr. Parkson?” a female voice said. “Yes ma’am.” replied my teacher. “We need Nicholas Name in the seventh grade office please.” Mr. Parkson glanced at me, and when our eyes met, he flinched a little. He managed to stutter an OK, and motioned for me to leave.
At this point, you can’t even imagine how I felt. I tried my hardest to look casual, and got out of my seat. On my way out the door, I passed a guy with white blond hair. He whispered, “Did you do it?” to me. I tried to give him a blank stare as I whispered back, “ Do WHAT?” But I didn’t give him a chance to reply. I just walked quickly out the door.
I knew one thing for sure. I was NOT about to go to the office. So I headed to my locker. I looked around quickly once I got there. If someone saw me leaving with a backpack, I’d be questioned. I thought that the coast was clear, but suddenly I saw a man walk around the corner. He did a double-take when he saw me.
“Where are you going with that backpack Mr. Name?” He gave me a stern look. “How do you know my name?” I asked. Suddenly I realized that he was the new vice principal. I was still shocked that he knew who I was and how to say my name, because we had never met before.
“That’s not important,” he said. “Come with me.” He turned and began walking towards the office. My first instinct was to buck out of there, but he was young, and looked pretty fast. Plus I would be handicapped with my fifteen pound bag. I decided to fight. His back was still turned, so I reached down and picked up a couple of rocks.
“I’m sorry,” I said as prepared to launch the rocks. “It’s not me you should be apologizing to,” he said as he reached for the walkie-talkie at his waist. “Actually, I mean I’m sorry for THIS!” I started chugging rocks at him. When he turned around, one smacked him right in the nose. He held his face and cried out with tears in his eyes. His nose was bleeding! He snatched up his walkie-talkie, and spoke angrily into it. “I’ve got him! He’s running towards the parking lot!”
I ducked around the corner and began running towards the ladies room. Earlier on, I had plastered an ‘Out of Order’ sign on the door to keep everyone out. Now I was hoping none of the janitors had looked into it. I opened the door and dived in. But then my jaw dropped down. A girl was in here! Now I know that sounds pretty dumb, since it IS the ladies restroom, but the sign on the door should have kept everyone out!
The girl’s head shot up, and she dropped the bag of chips she had been munching on. “Nick! The guy’s room is on the other side!” That’s when I realized it was only my friend Alexandra. She had been eating a texting on her cell in here all period. She saw my backpack and grinned. “So you’re skipping class too? By why seventh period?” She gave me a confused look.
“Keep it down! They’re after me!” I panted. “My bad. Don’t worry. Nobody’s in here.” She replied. “Shh!” I said. I had heard the static from the walkie-talkies outside. “Shoot, you got the whole staff after you!”
Now I was getting angry. “Shut UP Mix!” If they heard people talking in an out of order restroom, they would get suspicious. “Ay, I ain’t the mixed one. You’re the half Asian half white boy. I’m 100% Latina!”
“Mixandra, look. The police are out there trying to arrest me! You’ve got to be quiet!” I called her Mixandra because of her dream to become a DJ. “The policia?” she whispered.
We stood in silence for a few moments until Mixandra lost her patience, which she really doesn’t have much of. She pulled out her cell phone and began furiously texting something. Then her face lit up.
“Check it Name! I’ve got something!” She shoved the Motorola in my face. The small colorful screen read:
OK. GOT A PLACE 4 U 2 STAY. SWING BY DA BASE.
She tugged excitedly on my arm. “Vamanos!” Mixandra really can’t speak much Spanish, but whenever she gets a chance, she does. “Hold up, where are we going?” I didn’t hear anyone outside, but I was still hesitant. “A friend! You’ll like him! Promise!” She smiled. “His name’s Alejandro! Come on, it’s not like you have anywhere else to go.”
She had a point. “Don’t you even want to know why the whole school’s after me?” I asked. “I’d rather not. But don’t worry about it! Alejandro doesn’t know about that. I just told him that you are running away from home…like me.”
“You’re running away?!” I was shocked! “But you always said that would ruin your chances of majoring in music!” Alexandra rolled her eyes. “Si, but that was BEFORE I met Alejandro. He’s got great music contacts. And I can trust him.”
She explained how she was planning on going over to his ‘base’ in about half an hour, but when she told him about my urgent situation, he told her to come by now. She told me how Alejandro had tons of things at the base.
“Computers, TVs, video games, you name it, that man has it!” Mix looked pleased. “All that belongs to him?” I whispered as I pushed open the bathroom door. “How old is this guy?” “Sixteen, and he just got his Driver’s.” Mixandra seemed proud as she said, “He’s a high school drop out.” “WHAT?!” I whisper-screamed, “What’s wrong with you?! For all you know, he could have STOLEN all that crap!”
“Nick, he didn’t STEAL it. His parents were rich! They left him a fortune!” “So he dropped out to take care of runaways?!” I retorted. “Come ON, Mix! I thought you were smarter than that! Or maybe your going to tell me he’s your BOYFRIEND, now? Is-” she cut me off. “Don’t talk to me about intelligence, ok? Who’s the one getting chased by the po po? Now I wanna know what you did!”
I sighed, ”You don’t wanna know.”
“Does it have anything to do with all the sirens I’ve been hearing?!”
“…Yeah…Look, Mix, I’m sorry. Maybe I CAN trust him. After all, it take a long time before YOU can trust someone…”
“That’s okay,” Mix said. “Come on before the school staff finds us…”
I started this story last year, and it seems like a lot of people liked it. How do I get it published?
