"Chapter- Judgment Day"

Carter searched for Savannah only to find her sitting on the platform all by herself. He walked over to her, hoping she wouldn’t catch on to the fact that he was following her.
"Hey, Savannah." he said, climbing onto the platform. He scooted next to her. "How are you?"
"Fine." she said softly.
He had asked her that same question twice. She had the feeling that he was following her. There had been several times where she had seen him being at the same place she was.
"Where are your friends?" he asked her.

"Their watching the game." she answered, looking down at her shoes.
"Oh," Carter said. "What middle school did you go to?"
"I didn’t go to any school here." she answered.
"Where’d you live before?"
"Graysville."
"Is that in Indiana?"
"Yes."
"You went to a middle school right?"
"Right."

Carter was about to say something else when Melissa came up to hug him.
"Hi," she said, grinning. "We’re winning. Thirty-two to zero."
"I feel bad for the other team." he said.
"Don’t be." she laughed. "They suck. Unlike you."
"Oh, you just like me for my sideburns."
"And your fun personality."

She turned towards Savannah’s direction and observed her. Savannah noticed that she was wearing a tie-dye t-shirt and cropped shorts.
"Hi!" Melissa said. "Are you having fun?"
"Yes." Savannah said. "I don’t go to a lot of football games."
Melissa smiled. "That’s fantastic. Well, Carter, I’m going back to watch the game. I’ll see you later."

"Bye." he said, relieved that Melissa was leaving. "Sorry for the interruption."
"That’s okay." Savannah said sincerely. "I don’t mind."
Carter was actually trying to hold a conversation with her. That was something Scott would have never done. Savannah felt a smile cross her face. Unlike Scott, Carter wanted something to do with her. Unlike Scott, Carter liked her. Unlike Scott, Carter was nice. She had heard Holly introduce her as being a friend of her’s.
So this is what it’s like to have friends and be popular. She thought. This is way different than Graysville. I actually have real friends.

On instinct, his free hand twirled a loose curl from her hair. He did that to all of his girl friends. He felt good about being next to her. He wasn’t sure if he should ask her out, but he knew he wanted to be friends with her. He couldn’t get over her beauty. And for some reason, he didn’t think she even knew it.

"So do you do anything for fun?" Savannah asked.
"I do cross country and football. And in the spring, I do track. What about you?"
"A little bit of soccer and volleyball."
"I know quite a few people who do those sports."
"Oh, that’s great!" transported Savannah.

She felt embarrassed by her reaction. She often got carried away. But she didn’t care. She had only been to school for two weeks and already she was making friends. She remembered the website she had saw in the seventh grade. It was about wanting to be popular and giving her advise on how to be popular. It said something along the lines of either moving to a new school or looking forward to high school because "judgment day" already happened on the first day of sixth grade. The site said something about getting through a "loophole" in order to be popular. Being a new student was the example of that loophole. She know understood what it was talking about. Since she was a new student, she had passed through the loophole of being popular.

"I don’t like how the classes are longer." Carter continued.
"I know." she agreed. "It used to be just an hour."
"The school board sucks." he chuckled. "We should overrule it."
"Down with the school board!" she enthused, slowly overcoming her shyness around him.
She felt his hand automatically stroke the crown of her hand. It made her feel a little uncomfortable, but the feeling of someone stroking her hair always made her feel numb. Her grandma used to do that to her when she was really young.

A grim looking cop approached them with his hands crossed.
"Get off of that!" he screamed.
As if it were a reflex, they quickly jumped off of the platform. Savannah’s face turned red with embarrassment. Lettie was standing a few feet away from them. Savannah didn’t want Lettie to think she was scared, so she smirked at her to show that the situation was funny. Lettie smiled back.

"Are you okay?" the cop asked Savannah.
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I’m sure."
The cop looked at her briefly before walking away, leaving her and Carter standing there in disbelief. They both turned around to look at each other. Suddenly, they burst into fits of laughter.
"You were scared out of your wits!" he pointed out.
"I was not!" she said.
"Liar." he said, poking her on the back of the neck. "Hey, why don’t we head back to the game?"

"Alright." she said, following him to the student section.
"Hey, there’s a party tonight." Carter said. "Do you wanna come?"
Savannah had never been to re
Savannah had never been to real parties before. She wanted to go the party, but she was starting to get sleep. She figured it wouldn’t hurt to miss out on one party. There was plenty of more parties for her to go to.
"No, thanks." she said. "I think I’m going to relax at home tonight."
"Okay." Carter said. "But you’re going to the next to party."
Savannah giggled. "I’ll be there."

It was almost perfect. She thought, smiling coyly.

Good. But check your grammar. Commas instead of periods. "Okay," Carter said.
Unless the character does an action instead of saying a statement. " Okay." He fingered the button on his waistcoat.

H&M and Wal-Mart destroy and trash unsold goods

This week the New York Times reported a disheartening story about two of the largest retail chains. You see, instead of taking unsold items to sample sales or donating them to people in need, H&M and Wal-Mart have been throwing them out in giant trash bags. And in the case that someone may stumble on these bags and try to keep or re-sell the items, these companies have gone ahead and slashed up garments, cut off the sleeves of coats, and sliced holes in shoes so they are unwearable.

This unsettling discovery was made by graduate student Cynthia Magnus outside the back entrance of H&M on 35th street in New York City. Just a few doors down, she also found hundreds of Wal-Mart tagged items with holes made in them that were dumped by a contractor. On December 7, she spotted 20 bags of clothing outside of H&M including, "gloves with the fingers cut off, warm socks, cute patent leather Mary Jane school shoes, maybe for fourth graders, with the instep cut up with a scissor, men’s jackets, slashed across the body and the arms. The puffy fiber fill was coming out in big white cotton balls.”

The New York Times points out that one-third of the city’s population is poor, which makes this behavior not only wasteful and sad, but downright irresponsible. Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Melissa Hill, acted surprised that these items were found, claiming they typically donate all unworn merchandise to charity. When reporters went around the corner from H&M to a collections drop-off for charity organization New York Cares, spokesperson Colleen Farrell said, “We’d be glad to take unworn coats, and companies often send them to us."

After several days of no response from H&M, the company made a statement today, promising to stop destroying the garments at the midtown Manhattan location. They said they will donate the items to charity. H&M spokeswoman Nicole Christie said, "It will not happen again," and that the company would make sure none of the other locations would do so either. Hopefully that’s the final word. [NY Times][Huff Post]

I read that and I hope everyone who frequents these "crap-houses" remembers just how generous and thoughtful they REALLY are. It’s about time someone found out and reported the other side of them. They’ve got many "skeletons in the closet."

It really says alot about women when you ask a question about why you think your wife is pushing you away and 5 our of 9 answers say they think she cheated. And women say men are full of sh*t. Michelle I dont even think you thought about what you said before you answered. Its hard to listen to someone if they wont talk to you. I can say good morning and she gets and attitude. As far as the sex goes I’ll try once a week and leave her be. Jessica would you be unhappy with a man that pays all of your bills, cooks for and takes the kids to daycare and only spends times with his freinds when he is at work with them? I dont think you would so what would make her unhappy. Expecting, I have been back for two years, how the hell is she still used to me being away? Think about it. She will not talk to me about anything… no matter what approach I take. For those of you who just think she cheated Melissa and Veggie not all women are grimey like that, I know she hasnt cheated, she has too guilty of a conscious for that. If you didnt answer my last question im not talking to you… if I didnt say your name dont take offense but if the shoe fits wear it.

I think you need to chill out. I went back and read your question and the answers ppl gave you. I truly think the others were trying to help. Somehow you took it the wrong way. What they were saying is not written in stone. No one said they knew for sure she was cheating or what not, they seemed to be offering possible reasons as to why she is acting this way. It takes a lot of nerve to get pissed off at others when you asked for this advice and they are offering suggestions when they are not the ones in this relationship or know her. And that is RUDE. What were you hoping to hear?

My take on it…
She may not be grimey and she may not be a cheater but she is definitely childish. An adult learns that non communication is very unhealthy in a relationship. The only way to have a good relationship is to communicate. So obviously she doesn’t want to work things out or she would be talking to you about it. Could it be possible that she has told you something before and you didn’t listen to her? I mean again IDK.

Lastly maybe you can write her a heartfelt letter, tell her how you feel and see if she will respond to you. Or seek counseling. Besides that IDK.

I’ve been trying to locate these shoes for a while. They have them in adult sizes too, but I’m not sure where I can buy them. Where have you seen these at?

I have two very very, embarrassing moments. 10 points if you can top mine

1) a year ago when i was in high school i stayed up the entire night trying to finish my project for spanish. The next day i went to school and I was so extremely tired that I couldn’t keep my eyes open, And Spanish was my first block…. 30 minutes in i’m fine… 45 rolls around and i start dozing off. Next Thing I know My Teacher is calling out my name so I can answer a question. I had no idea what he asked but i knew he was talking to me so i just paused. And The guy to the right of me whispered me the right answer.
So I say it and EVERYBODY in the class starts bursting out laughing. Then my face goes beat red. I just asked the teacher to sleep with me in Spanish. Fuck, thats detention for life.

2nd) When i was in grade 7 my best friend was having a sleep over. Guys and Girls. But of course only the girls can actually sleep over.
we went bowling and went back to her place for cake and ice cream..
After that the boys start to leave when their parents come to the door.
I was upstairs eating cake when my best friend Melissa was like " omg the guy you like is leaving, hurry come say goodbye"
She has one of those houses where there are stairs right in front of you when you walk in the door. SO I run over there, he’s standing at the bottom of the stairwell and i’m standing at the top, and i’m like "GOODBYE THO-" Before i could finish saying goodbye to him I tumble down the stairs and whack my head on the shoe rack!

and that was the end of my crush on Thomas. after that he just thought i was weird lol

one time my fly was unzipped. i was so embarrassed that i had to go into counseling for 2 years
