"
Good morning class." Mr.Bradley says as he shuts the classroom door.
"Morning" everyone mumbles.
"Nice to know everyone is full of energy this Monday morning. Today I'm going to do something different."
"Are we watching a movie?" A girl name Tory ask.
"We are going to have nap time?" A guy name Larry shouts out.
"No and no. This is not middle school, you don't get a fun day. We are going to work in partners today." Everyone in the class got really thrilled once Mr.Bradley said partners.
"Now you guys are awake, I wonder why? I'm picking the partners." Everyone started to grunt and sigh heavily.
"I know, you guys love when I pick your partners." Mr.Bradley says sarcastically.
"Partners will be Hindi and Louis, Larry and Penny-"
I honestly don't care who ever I get for a partner. I'm friends with everyone here, so that not a big deal with me. I just hope I don't get Sabrina. It's a little awkward between us after we broke up.
I snap back into reality once I heard my name. "-and Jesse, Darwin and Franchise. Now everyone sit with your partner."
I have no idea who my partner is. I don't want to ask Mr.Bradley who he partner me with, because he would know I wasn't listening.
"Hello partner." Someone says to me in a bad taxen accent.
I smiled when I find it was Teddy. "Hey there." She sits next to me and we wait for Mr.Bradley to continue.
"Settle down everyone. As you can see I tried my best to partner you up with your friends."
"Why is that, Mr.Bradley?" Hindi asked.
"Good question. I want you guys to feel comfortable with the person your going to work for this experiment."
"That's awfully nice of you." I say out loud.
"Believe it or not, I've been in the same situation you guys are in now. My teachers would always pick the partners and pick people I don't know or talked to."
"Anyway, back to the lesson. I have been noticing whenever you guys write me something its very dull and boring. I hate to break it to you like this but it's true. I feel like I'm just reading a textbook, just giving me facts and information. I want more than facts. Why does the book you read interest you?"
"The drama, the romance, adventure, the plot twist." Everyone shouts out.
"When your reading a book and you get to a plot twist, how does it make you feel?"
Everyone shut sown answers again. "Angry, mad, happy, sad, like I want to throw my book out the window."
Mr Bradley chuckles at the last response. "Okay? I never heard a response like that before , but yeah. You feel very emotional. The author is making you feel emotional."
"It's the arthur's tone that makes us feel this way." Teddy says quietly.
"That's correct, Teddy. Good to know that you been listening." Mr Bradley says.
"I want you guys to get emotion out of your readers. It doesn't matter what type of emotion. I am going to give you each sheet of paper for you to write on. You can write anything, I mean anything. It doesn't matter what it is. Your challenge is to get emotion from your partner. Today your partner is going to be grading you."
Everyone got their papers and start right immediately. I didn't, I was stuck. I had writers block. I just sat there for the longest time looking at Teddy furiously write. I finally start to write something.
----
Spongebob loved Sandy. Sandy was in love with Patrick.

I erased the two sentences I wrote. I really wasn't sure where I was going with that. I had 15 minutes before class ended to write something. Teddy was already done. She's was just waiting for me to finish, so we can switch papers and read them.
I finally you knew what I was going to write about. It was perfect. The bell rung before I finish my last sentence.
"Good job class, you all were working really hard today. We will finish this tomorrow." Mr.Bradley says as everyone walks out the door.
I rush to finish the last sentence. Then handed Teddy the paper and she hands hers to me. I didn't read her papers because I had to rush to the next class. I normally wouldn't care for being in any other class, but my math teacher would go psycho on me for being late. She's very scary. She scared the living daylights out of other teachers.
When I finished all my math work, I got to read Teddy's paper.

There was a girl name Rachel. She wasn't a girly girl. She doesn't like the color pink. Most of her friends were guys. She wasn't the prettiest girl in her school. She could care less about that.
People tease her and bully her for being a tomboy. Her family would even say some sly remarks about her not wearing a dress. But she didn't care, she was a tough cookie.
What people said to her never bothered her. She has cotton candy to comfort her whenever she needed it. Cotton Candy was her dog.
Cotton Candy been with her for most of her life. When the bullied at school start to get physically abusive she didn't break. Rachel knows she a cotton candy when she got home. Cotton candy became an escape mechanism for Rachel.
One day Rachel got home late from school. Her teacher want to talk to her about the other classmates in the way they been treating her. She didn't really care for what the teacher was saying, all she wanted to do was to go home.
When she got home cotton candy wasn't waiting for her by the door. Cotton Candy always waited for her. Rachel asked her dad were Cotton Candy was. He said he was playing in the yard with mom.
Rachel went to the backyard to find her mom gardening with her headphones in and Cotton Candy chasing after a butterfly. There was a flicker happiness in Rachel's eyes seening Cotton Candy chase a butterfly.
Rachel back into the house, to get a camera, to take a picture of Cotton Candy. When she was getting the camera, she heard what it sounded like a riot that happening in the streets. Being a nosy little kid Rachel was, she want to see what happened.
She found a dead cotton on the street, and the driver that ran Cotton Candy over next to him. Her parents talked to the driver, then to Rachel. But Rachel didn't pay attention to words her parents said to her. The moment she saw a die Cotton Candy in front of her, killed her.
A month later her parents found her passed out on the bathroom floor. She consumed a bunch of pills she found in her parents room. They rushed her to the hospital and find out she was suicidal.
Her parents found out the only reason she didn't try to kill yourself before was because of Cotton Candy. Her parents moved her to a different school, got her professional help and bought her a new dog. She was a little better than she was before, but she was never the same.
