Fluffy looked around. Vicious dogs and cats were all around him behind bars. They look Hungry, Fluffy thought He crawled to the back of his cage, his hair standing up, and his eyes darting around diligently. Mr. Post gave Fluffy to this other human with a uniform on, after talking a while to him. “This cat’s been nothing but trouble!” Mr. Post was irritated and eagerly handed the crate to the uniformed man. I’ll show you trouble! Fluffy thought. The man grabbed the crate and took Fluffy out, holding him by the scruff on his neck. HISS! Fluffy was pawing away at nothing, trying to reach the man. HISS! HISS! “Oh, shut up!” The man said while walking down the darkest part of the prison. He threw fluffy into a cell and locked it tight. Fluffy then felt something pawing at his tail, like it was playing with it. Fluffy turned to see an orange tabby looking at him with green eyes. Fluffy looked closer, only to find it was a kitten. OH NO! These Lazy humans are making him babysit this...THING! The cat ate a whole shrek and the swamp. That's why he is in here. Fluffy shuddered. ALL the cats knew about how cruel that cat was, he ate fluffy’s friend, Joe Bob. The kitten licked his lips and looked at Fluffy. “PLEASE NO!” said fluffy, but it was too late. With one big gulp fluffy was gone. The kitten laid down, all plump and full. “LET ME OUUUUUUUT!” Fluffy screamed. He pawed at The kitten's big belly, Scratching everywhere he could reach. Fluffy had always taken pride in his clean, sharp claws. He would show them off to all the cats in his streets, and all the cats respected him. Sadly, the dog was clueless and got what he deserved. Fluffy turned around to see shrek glaring at him. “GET OUT OF MY SWAMP,YA FILTHY ANIMAL!” He screamed, whacking Fluffy with a half eaten sloppy joe. Fluffy ran for his life and scratched more at the kitten’s belly. The kitten obviously noticed the scratching and threw him up before shrek could take another whap at fluffy. The ghost field
There was a little boy named Joey that went into the ghost field and he never came back out. People say that the ghost killed him and author people say that the ghost turned him into one of them. There is this one kid that lives close to the ghost field and never leaves his house because he is scared that the ghosts are coming after him next. The little boy once went outside and the ghost depantsed him and the whole village laughed at him and when he went to school all of his friends acted like they didn't know him whenever he tried talking to them they said “ who are you” . This made the little boy sad so he went to the ghost field so he could ask if he could be a ghost so he wouldn't get picked on any more . The ghost were happy that somebody wanted to be one of them but they had a condition for him if he wanted to be a ghost and that was he had to be an evil one and haunt people that picked on him and haunt other people the picked on other kids and the boy didn’t care as long as he didn’t get picked on no more the only thing he was sad about was leaving his family. The next day he didn’t show up to school and his “friends” were really worried about him.The school called his parents and asked if they knew where he was. His parents didn’t know where he was; they told the school he went missing last night and nobody could find him. To be continued B.K My alarm rang violently, so violently it fell off my desk next to my bed and onto my face, which startled me. I threw it on the floor and rushed to my mirror, only to find out that I had this huge bruise on my face from where the alarm hit me.”Are you kidding me?!” I said through gritted teeth. Then I remembered what the clock had read, ‘7:58.’
GASP! “My bus is coming in 2 minutes!” I ran downstairs while brushing my teeth, my hair, and getting dressed, all at once. I ran outside. The bus was leaving! I dashed toward the bus, screaming and shouting very obnoxiously. “Wait! Come back! You forgot me! *gasp*, *pant*, *Weez*..” It was no use. The bus was already past the corner. “ Guess I got a long walk ahead of me,” I started walking, no, more like darting, toward the school. It was barely in sight, just a little dot next to another dot, which was the high school, and, right on cue, rain started dripping. After that whole ordeal I was sitting at my desk, catching my breath, shaking like a wet dog. “We have the PSSA’s today, I hope you all studied and are prepared for a 50 long section, children.” Mr. Yield stated while handing out papers that weighed a little more like a stack of bricks than a stack of papers, and that’s when I knew it…. Today was going to be a LONG day. All people are probably telling you that the year has been crazy , which it has been, but we all are happy to see our friends. We all have been working hard, but it's hard to breath sometimes. Sometimes the teachers let us have mask breaks, normally this doesn't happen though, because they want to keep everyone safe. We all are kinda stressed. Remember, we are all still GETTING USED TO IT. Article by- Cara Kribbs

Photo and caption submitted by Mrs. K. Johnson It's been different this school year. We all are excited for the weekend because of covid and the masks. We all need certain things for school but 1 thing we have to bring to school is a mask. We all don't want to wear masks but we have to. Sometimes we forget masks but are bus drivers and the school will give you one. You also can put a face shield on. For me I'm not gonna wear a face shield. You can wear one if you want to.
