By Brady Jones Sechrest county police department (scpd) is the new ultimate playground for young racers to do races, events, and trying to escape the local law enforcement. This is where all the racers come to play with the police. The sechrest county police are always on strike to take down any racers they come acroos or any street races they see pass by them. But these racers are always going to take down any cops they have chasing after them. The racers have four stuff to defend themselves with and they are: Spike strips, emps, jammers, and turbo boost. But the cops also have: spike strips, roadblocks, emps, and the helicopter. The way the cops bust the racers is they either bring the racers to a stop, or use force to bring the racers in. There will also be more cops that will join the pursuit. The police will be always ready to take down any street racers who dares to not listen to them and make them pay. Which side do you choose? racer or cop If you have a loved one thats past away don’t worry there still here with you just because you cant see them don’t mean their not here. Written by. Brynna Kelley By Terin Boschert As I woke up on Christmas morning, I ran onto mom and dad's bed and yelled “It’s Christmas, get up, get up, get up! I want to open my presents!” After repeating this for what seemed like 100 times, they finally got up. I ran downstairs with them following and I saw so many presents! It was unbelievable! I looked at my stocking and right away, I saw CANDY! I jumped up and down; I was soooo excited! “Can I open my presents yet?” I said. Mom replied after looking at dad and said “Yes, sweetie” I picked up each and every one and tore them open and I got everything I wanted ( a trampoline, more candy, airpods, and a bunch more)! This was the best Christmas ever! Part two As I played with my toys mom said “We have to go to your grandma’s house now.” I didn’t want to at first, but I then decided I probably should go to visit and open presents. Before I knew it, we were on our way. When we got there grandma was still sleeping and as we walked into the living room, there was nothing under the tree! I was so confused! Mom told me to go wake grandma up, so I did and she was confused, too. I looked under the tree and I saw a singular piece of paper. I showed my dad and he said, “What is this?” It was a paper that looked like a clue to something. Then, I said “Maybe Santa left a scavenger hunt!” Mom agreed and then we all looked at the clue to figure out that we had to go to the laundry room and inside the washer I saw another paper. Now, this is a big washer, so I climbed inside and I randomly faded inside to this random world. I yelled for my parents and then, I heard them on the other side. I asked them to come in and they did the same thing that I did, and when they got through I asked my grandma to come in. As she walked in I yelled get the clue! When everyone got through the washer portal thingy, we started to explore a bit through this weird place. The following students were Leaders of the Pack for the 1st marking period at KMS.

Though some say words are more quiet I feel they are more violent An action that has happened Can be forgotten But words scar the heart Even when the words drift apart They stay buried deep into the brain The words cause physical,mental and emotional drain People don't see how their words hurt They aren't just words we can brush off like dirt Some people can see what their words do But don't fix them with a nicer sincere action Their sweet action will help for time being It can help the physical transaction Maybe the emotional too But the mental is forever damaged Along with their well being They cause more than emotional scars They also can cause physical scars Some even cost a life Those with an invisible knife They pose as our friend They break us then mend That's how their twisted brains work We overwork With their words swirling in our brains We over work ourselves for their entertainment Our scars remain With their statement We sit their pondering if its true We will have someone screaming at us saying their not But we cant help but wonder If not us who These words are our thunder The scars our lightning Them the eye of the storm Our consequences may be frightening They start to swarm Our brains can only hold so many words and actions We hold more words through our scars Actions fade With ourselves comes abstractions This is the life we made The cave at Okinawa
It's April, 1945, the month that America took over Okinawa. I was at school when it happened, the Japanese army knew that the Americans were coming so they got us prepared. My class was given grenades and other weapons. We where in all in shock... Then all of a sudden, a tree near us was hit with a shell from an American destroyer. When it hit we all flinched but we didn't run. We were given 2 grenades 1 to kill an american, and 1 to kill yourself. When one of my classmates asked why, the commander said so the Americans can't capture you. Then he left and we went over to a hill, over the hill we had a clear view of the American battleships. There were hundreds of them, then we all heard buzzing above us and we looked up. There were dozens of kamikazes heading right towards the American ships. Then they dived down and at least 3 of them got through and they all tried to hit a huge battleship. One missed, and the other one blew up on the ships hull. We all stood on the hill not knowing what to do. Finally we left the hill and went inland where we found a huge cave that had food and water in it so we stayed in there because, a storm was starting. We stayed in the cave for a couple hours without eating any of the food. We all knew we needed to conserve all of it. That was when we heard an engine and footsteps, then a noise rang through the cave, we all knew what it was, when we all looked toward the entrance of the cave it was too late, a grenade was rolling toward them. It blew up and threw them all to the ground, we all scrambled for our grenades and when we saw shadows we lit the fuses on our grenades and threw them. The blast was so big the cave collapsed and we were trapped and there was no way out.We all started to panic when my friend Tasheek came up with an idea to get us out. He knew that not all of us had used a grenade and we all still had at least one left, so he told us the plan. He said that with all the grenades we should be able to blow the collapsed part of the cave. At first we all liked the idea but then we started have doubts because, it might kill them so they held off. A little while later we all got hungry so we ate a little bit of the food and drank some of the water. We all fell asleep and we all woke up a little while later to an explosion. When I got up I saw that one of my classmates blew himself up with his last grenade. When all of the other students came back they saw the horror of what the kid did to himself. Tasheek was the last one to come and he reeled back when he saw the dead kid. We all realized it was Shantago, one of the popular kids in his grade. We all knew the reason he killed himself, it was because he thought he was gonna die in the cave. That was when we knew what to do, we had to do Tasheeks' idea. We gathered up most of the grenades, but not all of them because we needed some to defend ourselves. We put them in a pile and backed away, I lit the fuse on my grenade and threw it at the pile. We all ran to the other side of the cave and then the ground shook. We heard rocks crash to the ground and when it was over we went to the entrance of the cave. On our way there we were blinded by light and we all broke out into tears, we were free from the cave. Outside there was a dead Japanese soldier, we took some rope that he had and made some of the water cans and food cans backpacks. Then we were off to a headquarters that the commander had told us about that was to the north of Okinawa. By: Brady JonesDear diary, Today I had the weirdest/best day ever. Today I was transferred to a city I have never been to before. It was so new to me that I was a little nervous but I knew that everything was going to be OK. I was coming into the city and I saw a bunch of people driving their cars and I felt like they were all looking at me. I just ignored them and continued to explore the city. I was driving and exploring everything I saw and I think that it might not be such a bad place. I then found the highway and went on it. I then decided to get off the highway and go to a place to explore more stuff. I saw some stuff and decided to go in them and explore more. I then went to more places to go inside them and explore them. I was coming to a thing that looked like the Eiffel Tower from Paris. I saw a poster hanging on it. I went through all four ways and it was pretty cool and then I just looked at it. Then I was staring at it and then I heard the sound of a siren. I looked behind me and I saw a cop in a ford crown vic right there and his car color was dark blue, light blue, light purple, dark purple, or whatever color his car was and then he turned around and backed up to my window. I was nervous and then he rolled down his window and I decided to roll down my window too. I said hi to him nervously and then he asked me if I was a new racer and I said yes. He then said OK and then he gave me a warning that he did not want me to see me doing something bad or even get a call and I was there and I said yes and told him that I understand him and he said good and he rolled up his window and drove off. I then got the chills from what he told me and then I rolled up my window and continued to explore more. I then was coming to a tunnel and I went through it and then I realized that I was in an airport. I decided to go where the planes take off and land. It was pretty cool and I saw airplanes taking off and landing and then I heard something and then I saw something pass right by me really fast. I then was wondering what the heck was that and I think I saw it pass me again really fast. It then passed me again and turned and came right at me and then it stopped and it was another racer and he was in a Porsche just like me but his was red and mine was white. I then rolled down my window and said hello. And then he said hi back and he asked me if I was new and I said yes and he said cool and then asked if I wanted to race him. I decided to say yes and he said cool and then he told me to follow him and so I did. When then finally came to the starting line and we both counted down and on go we drove off. He was a little bit faster than me but since we both had the same car I caught up to and passed him and then I was in the lead and I ended up winning the race. I said gg to him and I realized that I had this nitro thing and I said cool and then he asked me if I was coming to the big race tonight and I said sure and then he said ok and said that he will see me then and then I said later to him and we both drove off. I then tried out the nitro and I went so fast with it and I started to like it. I then explored more places and I had so much fun and I also tried to avoid the cops as well and I started to like the place. Then when it was night I got a way point from my new friend of where the big race was at and I went to that location. When I got there I saw my friend and I saw that there were a bunch of other cars and trucks there too. Then my new friend introduced me to everybody and I told them that I was excited to be there. Then my friend gave me something and I asked him what it does and he told me that I will find out. Then somebody said to everyone else to line up because the race was starting and then he said that why don't I start the countdown since I was new and I did. Once I said go everybody then took off and then the race had begun. It was so crazy because there were so many vehicles. It kind of got chaotic because then the racers started to crash into each other and then they started to crash into the normal cars. I tried to avoid getting hit by the other racers and the regular cars that were hit as well. Then I started to catch up to the leaders and then I ended up in first place and I was happy but then I saw something up ahead and then I realized it was two cops in ford crown vics. I then went flying past them and so did the other racers and then they turned on their sirens and they started to chase all of us. I then heard police chatter coming from nowhere and then I realized that it was coming from the thing that my friend gave me. I heard that the two police officers were after all of us and they were requesting for backup and then the main person in control said that she was having units responding to the call. And then I saw and passed more ford crown vic police cars responding to the call. And then they started to catch up to us and they started to try to get all the other racers and the racers were trying to take out the police by hitting and ramming them hard. Then I got rammed in the back and I looked through my mirror and I saw it was the officer who gave me the warning. I then got scared but I realized that I had to fight. He then came up to my side and I smashed his car and caused him to slow down. But then he came back up and then he told me to pull over over his loudspeaker but I did not listen to him and continue to keep going. He then slammed me but that did not stop me. I kept going and then I saw another police car but this time it was a dodge charger police car and it was the same color just like the ford crown vics and then more started to show up. I then realized they must have been unprepared ones. Then more police cars came up and tried to stop me but I was able to get past them. Then more police cars came the other way and they were the same color and in ford suvs and they tried to hit us head on but we dodged them and the ford raptor pushed them out the way. More of them came and the ford raptor ended up wrecking some of them. Then the police then called in for roadblocks and the ford raptor crashed right through them. Then I saw a black police car and it was some kind of corvette. When they got in front of us they placed down spike strips But we all were able to dodge them and the ford raptor rammed a unit right into the spike strip and it ended up popping all his tires but he was still going. Then I noticed everybody was dogging out of the way and this big swat van came up and rammed me. I was so scared but I tried my best not to get caught and sure enough the ford raptor came up and started to ram the big swat unit and swat van rammed back at the ford raptor. Then there was a corvette roadblock and there was a spike strip in the middle of the roadblock and then I got an idea. When we were reaching the roadblock I hit the ford raptor and he rammed the swat van hard and the swat van went right into the spike strip and all of his tires popped and it ended up slowing down the swat van. Then there was a swat roadblock and we all went on the sides and the police all ended up crashing into the roadblock and they had a huge pileup and the swat van ended up flipping over itself and all the other units were wrecked when the swat van went flying right into the roadblock and then we got away and I won the race. And then we destroyed posters for points, tried to get top speed through cameras, do events, and avoid getting busted by the cops. This was a really fun day for me and i think I will have more fun in the future bye! :) B.J. The stars are so bright like the ones you first had
