meeting the family

I never really have had the big of a family its always been just been my family and grandparents and my moms brothers family. we have every holiday together and spend a lot of weekends with each other so were all very close. But I do have other family that lives in Missouri. Ive only meet them once before and that was when i was five. Now i was 16 its been over eleven years since i have seen my cousin we are about the same age and my mom said when we were younger that we go along very well. She told me that he was coming to stay with us for two weeks and that he was staying in my room since we were so close in age. I wasnt to happy about this because i didnt really know him yes he's family, but he's still a stranger to me because I've only met him once and that was eleven years ago so i don't really remember him. So I was just hoping that he wasnt a werido. The time came when he got here he was a big kid and i wondered what the feed these kids down south because he was 6'4 240 pounds and a year younger then me. He talked with a southern accent that i didnt like because it was very irratating. He was amazed by how close everything was with eachother because where he came from there was only 66 people in his town and there was only a diner in town and other then that you had to go 20 miles just to get to any other store. He was into a lot of weird things he had a lot of weird habbits that no one i knew did or had. So he was a lot different from me. The 2 weeks were almost up and we were getting pretty close all his weird habbits came acustome to me we were starting to become best friends. The time came for him to get back on a flight to Missouri. I was upset at first because over those two weeks we had become best friends and with him gone it was like i was losing a part of me. But a couple days went by and then i was kind of happy he was gone i got my room back so i always had privacy. I didn't have someone following me around all the time. I also realized that he may have went back to his home but that, that friendship would never end because we were family and family always keeps intouch we may not be with eachother for another eleven years but i know when we get back together it will be like we havent left each others side for those eleven years.

I'm to COOL for school

It was a Thursday night me and my friends were just chilling like we normally do on any other school night. When one of my friends suggested "hey lets just call into school sick tomorrow and just chill all day." We called all our other senior friends saying yo don't go to school tomorrow were getting everyone to call in sick. Everyone agrees me and my friends are thinking were going to have the illest fake sick day ever. Friday comes extend weekend just what we all wanted i don't even wake up to call the school i lock my door and leave a note on it saying i'm sick call the school. I sleep in till about 10 because by then my parents are already gone for work. I call up my friends that were over last night and tell them to come over for breakfast and to plan out what everyone that stayed home are going to do. So i make tons of fatty bacon, eggs and toasty and me and my friends shovel the food down like we haven't eaten in weeks. We start making phone calls to all our other friends that we told not to go to school but none of them were picking up. So then we decided to text them and we all got text messages back saying yeah I came to school my bad my mom wouldn't let me stay home. We were all mad pissed that no one had called us the night before telling us that they weren't going to be able to stay home. We were like whatever we can still have a sick day just the 3 of us. So decided to just go to the mall and chill. We got to the mall completely empty no other teens like were use to having during the weekends. We went in to Dick's and decided lets just play around with all the sports equipment. So we started putting on helmets pads and all sorts of other things we could find. Then we decided we need to have a big war against each other and we all grabbed wiffle ball bats and started beating eachother senseless till we were all beaten up. We laid there for a second until a guy screamed HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU KIDS ARE DOING OVER THERE!! We instantly threw off all the stuff and ran out of the store and jetted out of the parking lot and back to my house. It was about 12:00 now and we were starting to get hungry again so I fired up the grill and mad some mean looking cheeseburgers and watched t.v. while eating them. by the time we were down it was about 1 and we had no idea what to do so we decided lets go to place that we didnt want to go to today school and chill with our friends in the senior lounge we all had off the period it was anyway so there was no way we could get introuble. So we went to school walked into the lounge acting mad hard cause we hadn't gone to school that but yet we came in for a period anyway. Everyone jealous of us not having to go to school. Stayed for about 30 minutes then said something obnoxious to Willy and jetted out the doors and to the park to shoot some hoops. We were there till about when school ended all of our friends were calling us up to chill so we told them to come back to my house for a party which lasted for the rest of the night. Woke up the next morning thinking to myself wow that was the best sick day that i ever had i hope i get sick more often. COUGH COUGH.

About my book

So far im really liking my book. It is about a kid named Jack who is just an ordinary kid until he finds out about his family ancestry. He is a warrior stone in him which is the rarest stone out of all the other guilds because warriors are used to fight for wizards so the wizards dont have to fight themselves. He is hunted by both Roses which are a two enemies which have been fighting over centuries. Both want Jack to fight for them so the can call a tournament. And if one side doesnt have a warrior to fight with the other has to forfeit. Jack doesnt want to fight in the tournament because he doesnt think that killing is the right thing to do but his aunt sends over a wizard to train him just for self defense because she wants him to be ready just incase he has to fight to defend himself from the Roses. But the wizard that has been training him wants him to fight in the tournament because he wants him to win for their Rose group the White Rose. Jack is also learning some wizardry because he was actually meant to be born with a wizard stone but he was born with out a stone so he had one put into him but a warrior one so then the white roses would have a warrior to battle with one day. But because he was meant to have a wizard stone he can still do some charms and spells that wizards can do that the other guilds cant.

Map Poem

One of my favorite scenes in my book is when Mr. Hasting takes Jack for the first time out of the gym and into the woods to battle an opponent and use his legendary sword shadowslayer. When i picture this imagine in my mind I smell the sap and just the fresh air through my nose. All i picture is Jack with this huge sword with flames coming out of it ready to fight his bigger and more experienced opponent. I feel the hard dirt under my feet and my body every time he takes a blow a falls into the ground. Another thing i feel is the pain from every time that Jack gets hit by one of the warriors. But i also feel the power that comes from the sword because it is one of the seven legendary weapons and is the only one that is being used at this time. I also taste the blood from every time that jack gets hit with one of the other warriors weapons. Every time I think about this scene i just get a rush through all my senses because this scenes image and everything just stand out to me so much.
