Journal #6

Sam and Dottie were sitting in a classroom together. They were in Math class. Sam, an seventeen year old senior, was just sitting quietly doing her homework. She had a ton of work today and wanted to get it done as soon as possible so that she could go home and study all night. She was a very good student, and everyone's parents loved her because she was just a good kid. Dottie was sitting beside her. Dottie was, to put simply, the exact opposite of Sam. Dottie was a quite rebellious child. At age sixteen, she had finally received her license and went crazy. She was out every night partying and having a good time. Her parents were too meek to do anything about her, so she was basically just going psycho.

So, these two girls were just chilling in class. They were not friends by any means; in fact, the two actually did not like each other. All of a sudden, their teacher walked out of the room. Dottie stood up with a sneaky looking smile on her face. She sauntered over to the phone that was attached to the wall and dialed a couple numbers. Then she started screaming.

"Office? This is Sam. Get help now! There's a kid with a gun! Another one has a knife!" Sobbing, Dottie hung up the phone, and immediately the sobbing turned into a vicious cackling. Sam sat there, her mouth open in shock. Then Dottie pulled the fire alarm. Alarms started going off all over the school, and cries and screams from the students could be heard all around.

Sam was expelled from the school. A couple of kids had been hospitalized as everyone tried to run through the slender doorways at the same time, and Sam was responsible. She did not make it into the college of her choice, and she was no longer allowed to be the class valedictorian. Dottie got away with everything.

  1. I don't really understand what this journal is about. It's a really good story and was very interesting, but it seems random and out of place.

  2. It was obviously about how blaming others can change the outcome of one's life.
