My ending to The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant

“I—I—I have not Mme. Forester’s diamond necklace!”

He looked at her and said, “Stop lying!”

“Why would I lie? Do you see the necklace on my neck?”

“No.”

“Ok then. Now what are we going to do?” she said with an attitude.

“I’m not doing anything; you’re on your own on this one. Sorry, but that necklace probably cost more than our house.”

“Whatever! It’s your fault we had to go to that party anyway. You had me going there knowing nothing I wore was going to be mine. Now we have to pay for this expensive necklace. So, you’re going to put some type of money in.”

Raising his voice he said, “You better tell that lady that her necklace is gone! We don’t have any money to buy a new one or anything, so get to calling!”

“Better yet, I’m just gone go over her house and tell her to her face, because I wouldn’t want to get any news like this over the phone.”

M. Loisel put on his coat saying, “give me the keys; let’s go.”

Both M. & Mme. Loisel got in the car. As they drive to Mme. Forester’s house to give her the breaking news about her expensive diamond necklace, Mme. Loisel gets nervous. She starts to bite her nails and tap her feet as if she were scared. She didn’t know how Mme. Forester would react about her necklace. “Will she be upset? Will she sue me? Will she even mind?” Mme. Loisel said frantically.

Fifteen minutes later they arrived at Mme. Forester’s house. Though Mme. Loisel was scared, she walked up to the door and rang the door bell bravely. At first Mme. Forester didn’t acknowledge the sound of the doorbell at all. “Thank god! She’s not even here!” Mme. Loisel said happily.

I wish someone had told me . . .

I wish someone had told me that being a teenager is complicated. We have to deal with so many things. We have to deal with puberty, acne, boyfriends/girlfriends, younger siblings, school, work, teachers, students, haters, and friends. We're young and that is too much on our shoulders. I thought being a teen would be fun, the free life away from parents. It's not! It's hell, so far as I can tell. We have to do so much. You would think turning sixteen was fun. "SWEET 16" NO! More like "SOUR 16". I'm still doing even more work at school, 11th grade. I still don't have a car. I still have to deal with my little sisters. I still have to deal with haters. Welcome to the teen world! Adult life here I come!

Acrostic Poem

Laughter of a young child that
Encourages others.
Never
Intimidated by what
Someone says.
Enlightening towards others.
Yield. Behold my beauty.

Purposefully, I'm quiet.
Opposing one's view of me.
Optimistic. I am.
Hiding the true me.

No! Not Vegetables!

Beet, Beans, Broccoli
Oh! No!
Eww! Artichoke
I think I have to choke
Cabbage and Celery
Chard and Chicory
All these vegetables
They're nasty and sickening
Yams, Turnips, Squash, Peas
I know you don't think
I'm going to eat all of these
Vegetables are what I hate the most
I'd rather be eating peanut butter and toast

What Should I Eat For Breakfast?

One Monday morning we had to go back to school. "Why today?" my sisters and I say barely waking up in the morning. Nevertheless, we still had to go to school. Sun still hasn't risen. Children at the street like a pack of wolves. But they had to wait on the school bus somehow. Without eating breakfast, I got in the car at the sound of my mother' yelling, "come on girl! We're running late!" My stomach growled like a wolf howling at the moon.

Dropping my sister off at school, we drove off hearing the horn of a train. Oh no! We we're running late and the train had to come today. To our good fortune, the train didn't take long to pass. We still had time to get breakfast.

By the time we got off the expressway I hadn't decided what I wanted for breakfast. Mom asks what do I want. Yet, I still don't know. We drove down Union Avenue like a turtle lost in a desert. Cars drove by like road-runner. "Danvers? Ihop? Burger King? McDonalds? I can't decide."

Mom says, "IHOP has pancakes. Burger King has cini mini's. Mcdonalds has sausage and biscuit." I'm late for school. Mom is late for work. I'm hungry.She's frustrated. I guess I'll get Burger King. Cini Mini's are my favorite.
