Point of View -7th grade

Carson could hardly wait for school to be over. The last book in the Evil Unicorns of Rovina series had come out today and his mother had promised to drive him to the bookstore. Carson had read all of the books at least three times. He couldn't wait to find out if Kalina, Queen of the Gnomes, would finally defeat the Unamin - the evilest unicorn of them all. Which point of view?

Jaxson was walking home from school. He was thinking about his science project, so he didn't see Tannen and his friends up ahead. "Where do you think you're going?" Tannen asked in his meanest voice, blocking the sidewalk with his body. Jaxson was already starting to cry. Tannen couldn't believe what a wimp that kid was.

It had been raining for hours and the trail was muddy. Every time Haylie took a step her foot sunk into the slushy muck. Her pack was heavy and she was so hungry.

The house was old. The paint was peeling and some of the boards on the porch were missing. The lawn was completely overgrown and full of weeds. Some of the windows were broken too.

Krystal was only pretending to be asleep. Once her mom left, she would go back to reading her book. She had just gotten to the good part. How could she sleep now?

Mom almost laughed when she opened the door. Fake snoring, really? Did Krystal really think she was fooling anyone? Oh well, she used to read late into the night too.

"Want to come to my house after school?" Kayla asked. "Umm, are you talking to me?" I replied. Kayla was the most popular girl in school. She had hardly ever even talked to me, much less invited me to her house. Kayla giggled, but not unkindly. "Do you see anyone else around?" she asked. "We can do our homework together. It'll be fun."

You might think that wicked stepmothers are just in fairytales, but I can tell you from personal experience that they are real. My dad's wife, Antoinette, is the real thing. She makes me do all of the chores while she and her real daughter sit around watching TV. She is always real sweet to me when my dad is around, so he doesn't have a clue.

Cayl watched the strange alien creatures from his hiding place behind the old log. They were all crowding around the lopsided space craft, which was obviously broken. "They must have crashed here and now they can't leave," Cayl thought. They didn't look dangerous. Maybe he should try to help them.

Brendan cruised through the test. Math had always come easy to him. Landon struggled with each question. He knew he would never finish on time. Madi looked nervously at the clock for the tenth time. "Just four more questions to go," she thought. Mrs. Wieman watched her students and wondered if she had given them enough practice time before the test.

"Have you seen my blue shirt?" I shouted down the stairs. "I think it's in the laundry," Dad shouted back. Disappointed, I dug through my drawer looking for something else to wear instead. It was the first day of 7th grade and I wanted to look cool, but my pathetic wardrobe was not helping.
