 Anthony  Silverfish

BY: Trent

The glaring, bright sun was in my reach as I jumped up to catch the oval shaped, brown thing I call a football. My feet slammed on the ground to make a booming shake to disrupt the audience watching the excitement of the amazing football game. The soft green grass ran threw my cleats as the opponent was attempted to be pulled to the ground but, as it always happens, was failed. As soon as I knew it I was in a thing called the end zone. The word “Wolves” prayed against the side.  Okay, maybe my imagination was a little wild that time. All my friends say it gets out of hand. As I was running home I saw some other kids walking. The next thing I know we're walking down the street together talking about football. Well at least two of us were. The other kid just walked and kept his mouth shut.  “Hey what's your name?” I asked with the curiosity of my own. He didn't answer. “I was just wondering because my name is Anthony.”  I heard the thunder clashing across the day sky. I was wishing that my new friends could come stay the night and have a good time.  It was dinner time and I could smell my favorite pie being baked. The taste of chicken and pumpkin pie just didn't taste right. I just then remembered that it was movie night and I got to pick it. I ended up picking something that my mom and sister weren't too fond about. We rented the movie for tonight, Friday the 13th. But my dad and I went nuts with the horror. And it was cool because it didn't even come out yet, anywhere! Then there was a knock at the door.  I screamed, “I got it.” I couldn't see from all the darkness but when the shape came out it was my friend. But this time it was the kid who didn't talk. I asked him a question and he just ran off.  I went back to the movie and got myself comfortable and right when you think everything was all right he knocked again. I answered the door and started to yell.  “I just wanted to tell you my name, Jonathan.”  “My name isn't Jonathan,”  “I know my name is Jonathan.”  A week later my imagination came true except it wasn't how I expected it to be. I was put at running back instead of wide receiver. At the end I didn't do actually a bad job. I got five touchdowns and 150 yards. I thought I would burn and crash but I did the exact opposite, and I liked it and thought I could become the best player on the team.  Looks like I spoke to soon. It turns out the coach's son was out sick and he missed the first practice. He was big and tough and his name was Anthony Boutonnière. Some kids made fun of me because he has the same name as me and because his last name is really funny. They wouldn't dare to mess with him because they would be as juicy as the apple I have every morning.  The next practice it was pouring rain. The pitch was given to me. The ball almost slipped out of my hands but was recovered. The slippy muddy ground rose from its own surface. Tackle after tackle, attempt after attempt. Hands were slipping and falling. The crowd went wild and as soon as I knew it, I was in the end zone. The game went on and the tension built up. The game came to a yowling 55-5, us. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> A week later it was my 18th birthday and my folks said that I grew up to fast. But the good thing is that I already have a scholarship to one of the best colleges in the United States of America, Colorado University. I know some people don't like it but I do. Another awesome thing is they got me my favorite car. When I started I was so smart they said I should be a teacher because every time they would make a mistake I would correct them. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> The years went by and before I knew it I was getting an award for being best of my class and MVP on the football team. It was 4 years in college and finally I'm out of it.

<span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;">The Draft has finally come and I am really excited to be picked by my favorite team, the San Diego, Chargers! It ends up that they were the first team to pick. And all of a sudden they said my name! I was so excited I threw my shoes up and did a back flip and then I started to sing, "We are the champions.” But instead I changed the word “We” to “I”. I ran up to go get my jersey. I held it up with pride and my name cross against the back . <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> And also while I was in college I met the person I think I may be with my entire life (her name is Jennifer). The rest of the draft was long,boring, and interesting. Our team also got a QB,LB,and a RB. But again I was put at the WR position. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> Our first practice happened right after the Draft. I was put in first string oddly. And there was the Hall of Famer Wide Receiver too and they still put me in his place. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> We didn't have a game in a long time so me and Jennifer and our three kids had a great time for a while. We went to water world one day. And all of a sudden a big guy came up to me and said, “ Hi Anthony.” Then I thought I knew that voice. It was Mr. Boutonnière. I hadn't seen him since I was on the Patriots football team. His family was also there. His son was about the same age as our oldest son and that was their youngest. And then I found out that Jonathan was his best friend and lived with them. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> I have been waiting for this day for a long time. It was finally April Fools Day! But it was also my mom birthday. And it was my football practice. I know, who would be playing football in the middle of the spring. Coach just wants us to be sure on our plays and to see if we had improved at all over the little time. And remember that Hall of Famer I mentioned to you about, I turns out he was in a horrible car crash and he didn't make it. APRIL FOOLS. But he wasn't going to be there. The coach emailed me and said practice was canceled because everyone except me was not going to be there. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> I was happy because then I was able to take my mom on a nice dinner. Will we were in the middle of eating coach called me, which was weird because it was about thirty minutes past the time if we had practice. When I answered it he was screaming as loud as he could asking me why I wasn't at practice. Then I told him, “You sent me a email that said,not to go to practice.” <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> So later we tracked the email and it was at a other players house. I saw the coaches muscles tightening in his face as he was getting ready to explode. The player was fired and I got to go back to my dinner. <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> A couple months went by and we went to the playoffs. We fought in the playoffs and we made it all the way to the Superbowl... <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> That's all I'm going to say... <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> <span style="font-family: Gentium, Arial Unicode MS;"> Okay I'll tell you. We didn't win the Superbowl until the next year. And now my friend back when I was a kid and I are still best friends. And then It all started over with my son. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Electronics by:Trent

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Have you ever wondered how electronics can be helpful and effective and useful? I have found out that most kids enjoy electronics but don't know everything electronics can do for you.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">First of all, you can get electronics for very low prices. Here's a story I got from my mom. My mom was somewhat excited because she was getting a phone. But she was not completely excited because it was the world's simplest phone. All it could do is call, it couldn't text or play games. But it was only a dollar.

Here's another story on how you can get a awesome and cool phone for a really low price. The iPhone! I was looking on the internet for cheap electronics and all of a sudden, something caught my eye. An iPhone! I clicked on it to see what it was about and as soon as I saw the price it amazed me. It was $50.00!

Second of all, there are all sorts of electronics so there are endless possibilities. I mean there is television, cell phones, computers, Xbox360,Ps2, and much much more. Here's something my mom told me about somebody at my moms work. He has every single popular gaming system and has about a million games. He tells my mom things about all the gaming systems like if they overheat, if it will freeze, and much more stuff I cant even name.

Last but not least, if you get in a mess that is hard to get out of you can call your parents or guardian or anyone. Let's say you are going on a plane to somewhere around the world. And if it was one of those flights where your parents let you go to the place by yourself. The plane takes you to China when you were supposed to go to Hollywood California. You can call your parents and tell them so you can get on a flight back or they can come get you. That is one good reason to have a phone or a couple of coins in hand in case you need to use a pay phone.

But none of this is an excuse to just go on the computer and do whatever you what. If you go on the internet you must have parental permission to go on certain web sites. Electronics can also be dangerous. Remember never give your name,address,school, or any kind of personal information.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Here is a story about a kid on the internet,if you are a kid that is reading this don't get scared, you will not get hurt if you follow my instructions. The girl was on the internet just in a chat room and then she met somebody. They talked and talked and then the person she was talking to said,”Hey you seem like a cool kid,do you want to come over to my house sometime and play with me.” It turns out that wasn't a little girl,and when the girl went to the other persons house, it turns out that it was a old man that was a horrible person. So after I told you that you might what to be very careful. Since electronics are helpful and useful is true. Because this is true, isn't it also true that without electricity we would still be caveman.
