Manjeet Singh was a very special boy who liked chicken curry. His mommy and daddy wanted him to be a neurosurgeon! He thought it was kind of stereotypical, but it was a part of his culture after all…so he packed his 1 pound fish into a suitcase. Along with his very very good math test score (99–but his daddy was mad.) He immigrated to America, but the security guard  took out all of his pakoras and samosas. Therefore, he lost 30 pounds on the flight because he had nothing to

(Chapter Twenty Four: Runaway) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The night swallowed them whole. Cold air burned Skye’s lungs as she ran, her fingers locked in Rowan’s. The sound of their shoes pounding against the pavement mixed with her heartbeat — fast, uneven, desperate. “Keep moving,” Rowan said, his voice low but sharp. “Don’t stop.” “I’m trying ,” she gasped, clutching her bag tighter against her chest. “Where are we even going?” “Someplace they won’t look,

“Wait, what time is it?” Jayden's eyes flew open as sunlight spilled across his room. His heart began pounding before his feet even touched the floor. Today was the day of the senior trip to Adventure Kingdom Amusement Park. He jumped out of bed and got ready in a rush. From downstairs, his mom’s voice drifted up. “What do you want for breakfast?” she called. “Pancakes! Eggs and bacon!” he shouted back. The smell met him halfway down the stairs sweet syrup, buttery pancakes

Fencing is a dynamic sport that combines athleticism, strategy and precision. Two athletes use swords to attack and defend against one another with the aim of striking their opponent in order to score points. The three disciplines of modern fencing are the foil, the epee, and the sabre (also known as saber). Each discipline uses a different kind of blade (which shares the same name) and has unique rules. That being said, MS.158 has gathered interest to form a fencing club. I

“Amusing little plans this person has…”  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...  Beep Beep. The soft beeps of the alarm clock woke me up pleasantly. I wake up to the sound of the fire roaring to life and the eggs sizzling like tiny sparks. I walk towards my wardrobe, and throw on some clothes. Pink top and White pants.  “Perfect.” I whisper to myself. “Surely they're going to accept me now. Right?” “Marly, breakfast’s

If you’re familiar with the gaming/console community and have shown any sort of interest in it you may have probably heard of the term, "Console Wars”. If you haven’t, then it is the term for the fans of consoles fighting about which one is superior. The argument will be XBox vs PlayStation, specifically the newest model of each which are the PS5 and XBox Series X.

A Refresher…….. Arcturus:  No, OH I MEAN OBVIOUSLY!!! I only came with him because one, he was the closest to my house, and two, my bike broke because of him. Therefore, I rode with him to make him pay. However, I will never ride with such a disappointing, lowlife, obnoxious, and broke driver again.

GASP! SPUTTER! The man arose from his mattress, spitting black coagulated blood out of his mouth. Violently coughing, writhing in pain, and jittering uncontrollably, he staggered off the bed, still shaking. He began to spit foam out the mouth, his nose bleeding. Everything around him was zooming out, changing into shapes they shouldn’t be. But it was fake. It was all fake. The walls were still. But it all looked real, too real.
