Kaitlyn wanted to go to the party so bad. When she asked her parents, they said, “Absolutely not!” Instead of arguing, Kaitlyn accepted their decision and decided to spend the night with her best friend. While she was there, her friend suggested they sneak out once her parents went to sleep so they could go to the party of the year. Immediately, Kaitlyn was filled with dread. Her parents said she couldn’t go, and she knew they would be disappointed if she went against their wishes. In order to make her friend happy, Kaitlyn nervously agreed to go.

When they arrived, the party was in full swing. Kaitlyn tried to have fun, but felt uneasy the whole time. She couldn’t take the feelings of guilt anymore and decided to text her parents to pick her up.

Product review:

OK, so let me first say my wife was the one who bought this. She has a thing for water bottles, and did NOT need another one. Apparently that didn’t matter, because she bought this one anyway. You can imagine my surprise when, by the end of our trip, this water bottle was no longer hers. It was MINE. It doesn't leak, AND my KIDS were able to use it! I like that it's compact and you can just throw it in your backpack. I’m not giving this one back. But don’t worry...the wife ordered herself another one, so now we have two.

Brad stopped Mark in the hall. “Hey Mark,” he said, “are you going to Liz’s birthday party tonight?”

“Liz?” Mark asked. “Yeah, I guess so. Do you think Brandy will be there? They’re friends, right?”

“Yeah, they’re pals. She’ll probably be there,” said Brad. “You know, Mark, I think Liz likes you. She asked me twice if you were coming tonight.”

“I’ll definitely be there if Brandy is going,” replied Mark.

I have been waiting for this moment for my entire 13 years. I’ve

read about this place, talked to people who have been here

before, and looked at pictures. Even so, nothing could have

prepared me for the actual experience. I excitedly packed a bag of sunscreen, bathing suits, and light dresses. After five hours in the car, we arrived at our destination. I rolled down the windows and inhaled the salty air with a smile on my face. I have to say, the sun was intense, every part of my body felt gritty, and my hair was a mess for the entire trip. But guess what? I didn’t care. The fun we all had playing in the water was something I will never forget.

Chase’s screen lit up. From the corner of his eye, he saw it was a text message from his mom. It can wait, he thought. He went back to playing his game. Afterall, he’d been working on passing this level for the past 8 hours! Awhile later, after a well-deserved victory dance on his unmade bed, Chase checked his phone. He tapped the text message from his mom. It read, "On my way home!" Chase did a quick glance around his room. The room he was supposed to clean BEFORE he played video games. Mt. Dew, Cheetos, and pizza crusts littered the floor. After looking at what time the text was sent, Chase quickly did the math. He had five minutes before his mom walked through the door. He turned off his game, shoved all the trash into his closet, and threw the covers back on the bed. He got out his history book and rushed to his desk. Just then, he heard the garage door open...

Product Review:

I have a love-hate relationship with these. I love the concept, but the adhesive is way too strong. I tried to make them less sticky by pressing them on my arm a few times before applying, but that didn’t work. It still pulled on the sensitive skin under the eyes. Pulling and stretching only causes more wrinkles, so these kind of defeat their own purpose.

“Who wrote this poem about Spain?” asked Mr. Juarez, pointing to the bulletin board.

“I did,” said Kristen and Marisol at the same time.

“I write poems all the time,” said Marisol. “I had one in the school newspaper last week.”

“I had poems published in the newspaper at my old school,” said Kristen.

“That looks like Marisol’s handwriting,” said Greg. “I’ve borrowed her notes before.”

“Marisol talks about Spain all the time,” said Lily.

The sweltering heat made it nearly impossible to go outside. Even going

to the swimming pool was miserable, since the water felt like a warm bath.

There has to be a way to find a little relief, I thought to myself. Suddenly,

I had an idea. I grabbed some money from my dresser drawer and headed out. The hot and sticky walk down the street was torturous, but when I opened the door and was met with a blast of cold air and the smell of sugar and waffles, it was worth it. I sighed with relief as I studied the menu. I pondered deeply on what flavor to get. I decided to go with my favorite, and placed my order. A few minutes later, I sat down and enjoyed my cool treat.

Javon looked out his window and noticed his neighbor, Alex, was messing around under the hood of his car. All of a sudden, he heard a string of angry words and saw a socket wrench go flying into the yard. Javon decided to go over to see if he could offer any assistance. When he walked up his neighbor’s driveway, he noticed Alex had resorted to kicking the side of the broken down car. Since he knew a little bit about cars, Javon took a look under the hood and tinkered around for about an hour. Once he realized he could not get the car running, Javon offered Alex his wife’s old car until Alex could get his fixed. Overcome with gratitude, Alex hugged Javon, and headed off to work.

Product Review:

We took this ball to the beach. It took close to two hours to pump it up, and we pushed it around for about 10 fun-filled minutes. That was when the wind picked it up and sent it flying down the beach at about 40 MPH. It destroyed everything in its path. Children screamed in terror at the giant inflatable monster that crushed their sand castles. Grown men were knocked down trying to save their families. The faster we chased it, the faster it rolled. It was almost like it was mocking us. Eventually, we had to stop running after it. Rumor has it, the ball can still be seen stalking innocent families on the Florida Panhandle. We lost it in South Carolina, so I guess there could be something to say for its durability.

Tony got home from spending the weekend away. He was just in time to wash up for dinner. He headed straight upstairs to the bathroom. He saw his mom in the hallway, carrying a load of laundry. He thanked her for fixing his favorite dinner, spaghetti and garlic bread. Then he told her how he couldn’t wait to sleep in his nice, comfortable bed after sleeping on the hard ground all weekend.

QUESTION 1 of 2: I can infer that Tony probably just returned from
