1. Horace Mantis Academy Essay By: Hailey G. Los Angeles, California Ahh, the first day of school. Wake up, get ready, breakfast and I’m off to school. But something didn’t look very normal that day. A lot of people were crowding around something. They were screaming and crying and going crazy. Camera flashes everywhere. And ‘I Love You!” coming from everywhere. I finally got to my history classand guess who was in my class? Those three boys that everybody body loved. Finally our teacher said it was time for class to begin. She told the girls to take their seats. Once the girls all took their seats I saw who they were. The Jonas Brothers. My mouth fell to the floor and my eyes burst wide open. The teacher told Kevin, Joe and Nick to take their seats. Kevin sat to the left of me, Joe satin front of me and Nick sat behind me. I was so shocked, happy, and confused. Shocked that the Jonas Brothers are in the same school, happy that the Jonas Brothers are in the same school, and confused that the Jonas Brothers were in our school. I was ecstatic. What should I do? Just keep my cool and don’t act like a crazed fan. But then girls just came up when the teacher wasn’t looking andcrowded around them. They even pushed me off my seat! I got up. I was annoyed I could see the Jonas Brothers feeling a little awkward. So I told them to go away and give them some space. But they didn’t listen to me and just pushed me to the ground. Then the teacher turned her head to us and everybody took their seats and the teacher didn’t see anything except me on the ground. She told me to leave theJonas Brothers alone and go to detention.

 I
put
my
books,
pencils,
and
other
stuffs
in
the
back
pack.
Took
my
make‐up,
put
a
CD
 and
sat
down
on
my
bed.
It
was
odd
to
think
that
the
same
guys
who
sing
that
song
had
 just
been
in
this
room
studying.
Who
would
know
I´ll
go
to
the
same
school
they
do?
That
day
I
was
focused
on
writing
when
suddenly
someone
opened
a
door
and
I
hit
 myself
against
it.
I
fell
and
all
my
papers
fly.
 ‐I’m
so
sorry
‐Are
you
ok?
‐Let
me
help
you
‐I’m
ok,
it
was
my
fault.
In
my
old
school
I
 was
used
to
the
hallways.
I
wasn’t
paying
attention.
‐
My
voice
sounded
normal
but
in
 the
inside
I
was
shaking.
‐
Oh,
you’re
new‐
Kevin
said
‐Do
you
want
us
to
help
you
find
the
next
class?
‐Nick
said
‐Yes,
thanks
‐And
what’s
your
name?

Joe
asked
me
giving
me
 the
papers
‐I’m
Abril The
next
day
they
came
to
my
locker
smiling
at
me. ‐Hi,
I
think
we
have
something
yours
by
mistake‐
Joe
gave
me
the
paper
I
had
been
 looking
for.
‐Thank
you,
I
thought
I
had
lost
it
‐Did
you
write
it?
‐
Kevin
asked
‐Yeah,
I
 was
distracted
because
of
it
yesterday
‐Is
really
good
‐Nick
said
‐Do
you
want
to
be
a
 writer?‐
Joe
asked

‐I
would
love
to,
but
my
parents
say
I
should
work
at
something
less
risky.
‐
I
don’t
think
there’s
a
job
without
risks.
‐Kevin
is
right
and
if
you
like
that
much,
 you
should
try
it‐
Nick
told
me.
I
look
them
in
the
eyes
and
I
realize
they
were
right,
 after
all
they
had
went
through
a
lot
to
be
where
they
were.
‐Yeah,
sometimes
you
have
 to
fight
for
what
you
want
and
this
is
what
I
want.
‐I
agree‐
Joe
saidSince
the
day
I
met
them
I
was
so
excited
of
going
to
school
I
and
I
was
so
inspired
to
 write.
They
give
me
the
strength

to
fight
for
my
dreams
and
don’t
give
up
because
the
 best
was
be
with
them,
be
their
friend.



 3. Horace Mantis Essay By: Bree H. It was an ordinary Monday morning. I pulled my old, red Volkswagen into the school parking lot. I was disappointed to leave my car because my favorite part of lovebug was playing. I straightened my dress, took another glance inthe mirror, and got out. I turned to see a motorcycle and a sidecar parked next to me. I looked at it with one eyebrow raised. “No,” I thought, “It couldn’t be.” As I walked to my locker I dropped my pencil. I sighed and bent down to pick it up. I always tend to do clumsy things. I stood up much too quickly and...
