"So how far away is your karate studio, anyway?" I asked Carl as we walked down the street, away from his house.
"About two miles, I guess. You aren't ganna ask to stop along the way, are you?" He teased. I rolled my eyes. He knew full well that I rode my bike eight miles to get to Church, and eight miles back--a two-mile walk wouldn't phase me. We didn't talk much as we walked; I observed the familiar streets around me, and smiled as I thought of another time I had wandered around this area.
"Do you guys want to take the back roads or the highway?" Mary inquired to Paul and me. I looked at him.
"Do you care?"
"No," he shrugged.
"OK. Let's go on the back roads." Mary led us to the left of her house; we were headed to the Wawa to get breakfast. Paul and I had slept over her house the previous night. Mary had taken us to Six Flags the day before.
As we followed Mary, I recognized some streets because of wandering around the area previously, and learned new routes as she pointed them out. When we had turned left a second time and gone a few blocks, Mary and I realized Paul wasn't walking with us any longer. We turned around in search of him and saw him standing a few feet behind us, attempting to light a bush on fire with his lighter. Mary and I nearly had heart attacks.
"Paul, what are you doing!?" Mary exclaimed. I quickly walked forward and tried to gently tug him away from the bush.
"No, no, hang on," he brushed my hand off. "I think I've almost got it burning." And that's when the lady across the street saw him.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" she screeched at us. "I'M CALLING THE COPS, YOU STUPID KIDS!! I'M CALLING THE COPS!!" Mary and I looked at each other, very frightened. Paul was much more relaxed--he had more experience with threats to call the police. He also had more experience with the police in general.
"Paul, come ON!" Mary and I said together. Now we were more urgently trying to get him away. He looked at us with annoyance in his eyes, but upon hearing the lady continue to scream threats, he finally trudged along with us. We walked as quickly as we could to the next corner and turned it. The rest of the way to Wawa, we walked on the highway's sidewalk. On the way back, Mary showed Paul and me how you could get onto the nearby train tracks. This is the route we returned with; being seen by the threatening woman was not on our to-do list.
Relief flooding into me when we were finally back into Mary's house. I never wanted to walk around with an arsenist ever again--I would become far too prone to heart attacks.
"Glori. Glori!" Carl shouted into my ear. I laughed involuntarily at the memory I had just reviewed.
"Sorry, I spaced," I told him. "What is it?"
"Cross the street before the light turns!" He urged me. We ran as quickly as we could across the large intersection. He glared at me when we had made it across.
"Never, EVER space out on a walk with me again-got it?" I smiled.
"Sure, of course not." We continued walking along, and I realized that this would be another memory I would very likely look back on next time I'm in the neighborhood. I smiled again at the thought. It was a pleasant enough walk; it would be a good memory.

Composition #6 - Attempt #2
OK, second attempt at something to hand in as my homework.
"FINE! Just leave me ALONE!" I screamed as I slammed the door to my room closed. Jeez, I thought to myself. Does Mom think I never clean it? I'd get it done if she'd leave me alone already. I sighed. Whether or not Mom thought I was happy living in a complete pig sty, I had to clean the mess. I looked around at all the clothes and books covering the floor. I stepped carefully over one thing and the next until I found my way to my radio. I pushed the "on" button and set about cleaning. I hummed along to the song that was playing-recognition registered in my mind when the chorus came. I suddenly fell back to a long time ago, when I was very little...
"Glori, for the last time-get back here! Stop going ahead of the group!" my gymnastics teacher Ms. Linda called to me. I rolled my eyes and walked back to them.
"But Ms. Linda you're all slow! I want to go play on the bars..." I whined. She simply gave me a reprimanding look and continued to teach.
Ah, frick. This is no good. I wish I could remember more, but that's failed attempt #2.
All right, lemme try for #3.
Double frick. Can't think of a single flashback to write about except for "John" at the moment. I can think about my Camp, but I ... never mind. Thought of a flashback, but that wouldn't do for school. Oh....maybe I have one now.
Crap. I went away from the comp and now I forget. But now I don't feel like working on this. I'll do it later.

A Flashback -- Composition #6
I might hand in for my school assignment. It's just about all I can think to do... but I think I might have to change it. Anyway, here goes...
I was having a normal day at school today. No rare occurances, nothing particularly special. At the end of the day, I headed towards the bus like usual. I ran into my friend Jack on the way. I smiled and gave him a quick hug hello and goodbye. When I felt him hug me back, I suddenly got a crashing wave of memories flooding back into my mind...
I panted as I gently laid my bike onto the ground. I walked up to Martha's front door and knocked. I hear her wolf-like dog inside going crazy at the sound of an intruder; I used to be scared when I heard the big animal bark, but now I wasn't scared. I'd seen him too many times to be afraid anymore. Martha's younger brother let me in. I walked through her house to the computer she was sitting at.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked casually. We talked our small talk and I walked past her to the stairs. I went upstairs and found the friend I had really come to see-John.
"Hey," he gave his salutations. My heart skipped a beat when I saw his handsome face. I greeted him with a hug. I felt so safe in his warm and loving embrace. He sat back down at the upstairs computer.
"Here, let me show you this vid I found the other day." He shared with me some of his favorite new rap stars. I showed him a few of my favorite songs. We have very different tastes, but we understand we're different and listen to what the other person is interested in.
"Hey, dorks!" Martha called from downstairs. Jon and I obediently came down.
"Check out the TV-it's a really good anime!" I smiled. Martha has a slight obsession with anime and manga. I share it, but not so extremely. I prefer to read real books most of the time, or to watch silly movies about love. Love stories are my favorite. I always imagine falling into one-being swept away by my true love, getting through all kinds of hardships together with him so that we can live happily ever after. I turned to John. He chanced to look at me just then; we smiled at each other. I thought, "Maybe I can have my happily ever after... someday."
I snapped out of my flashback just in time for Terry to fly by me yelling, "Hurry up before you miss your bus, you idiot!" I smiled. Of course I would daydream during rush hour. I ran to catch up, and when I caught up and she asked what I was smiling so big about I just told her I was thinking of silly love stories again. She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, you would do that." I agreed and hopped onto the bus with her. I hoped that someday my daydreams might come true. I settled into the bus seat and stared blankly out the window, thinking about all my tomorrows and smiling back on the past at the same time.
By the by--I changed names in this, duh. Just FYI.
