Do You Know Me?…

 

I wonder if I met you before, have you met me? Everyone tells me that they know me or that I look familiar, and the crazy thing about that is everyone who says that, to me I don’t remember meeting! But then one day someone told me something I didn’t know about my past because of a insedit, a big one.

Hi, my name is Lincoln Parma. I am eleven years old. I have brown hair, brown eyes, white skin, and I love Batman. My best friend’s name is Alfred isn’t that cool! Well he isn’t really my best friend. He’s a kid in my class that doesn’t know I tell everyone he’s my best friend, but you still think it’s cool right? Never mind that lets just get to the story.

One day I was eating a meatball sub (my favorite). It was a nice day then it started to rain, the smell of flowers in my nose then it turned into a dead fish smell, the sound of birds chirping into screaming rats. Then when I saw her, she was the one that was going to tell me my past but me and her didn’t know it yet, she had dark skin, blue eyes, curly brown hair, and was wearing jeans a dark green shirt with a flannel and white sneakers.

So without thinking I walked up to her and said “Who are you?” seeing that she was surprised that I said something to her she said “Nikki Harding, who are you?” then I said “Batman, oh sorry not Batman my name is Lincoln Clymo” I could tell she was confused, but then she said another thing “Come with me” so without thinking about what my parents told me about following strangers she led me to a bus stop then out of nowhere she stopped then I saw what she saw a man but why did she stop just because she saw a man, after the man left she said these weird words like one of those villains that have secret language, but then

there was this weird glow and then boom we were in a different place it felt and smelled like a place you knew and loved but while I was going through mixed emotions I just said what I had to say “Who are you really were am I who am I!” Then the girl looked me straight in the eyes and said “You are not what you think, I am a WP9O and you are a KHLIMO I don’t know who you are but I do know people want to hurt you and me if you come with me I can take you to a safe place.” “What about my parents and family!” I said then Nikki said “You are putting them in danger by being with them then I said “What if they come looking for me and can’t find me?” 

The next day me and Nikki were walking though this garden that looked like out of a fairytale and she did that stopping thing again where she stopped for no reason but then she started to talk to me and said “Do you know who you are?” So I said “I am a “KHLIMO”.” Then she raised her voice a little and said “I was born on a different planet then I was sent to “TSZ” so I couldn’t be hurt. Who are you?!” Then I said “I don’t know my past but you sort of have that superman vibe because you were born on a different planet right?” next she said to shut up so I did and we kept walking.

Then we found a place to sleep for the night in a cave it wasn’t comfy but I managed to use a rock as a pillow then the next morning I saw Nikki saying those weird words 

Virtual school was in session when I heard a thank thonk thank thonk! I turn off my video revealing a Grogu picture then look around the room. Still not seeing anything, I feel a swoosh go past my feet. Looking around I see a pink speckled thing. I can’t tell what it is until it looks at me. It’s a pig, or so I think. It had wings, it seemed familiar. I know it was the metal pig, but the metal pig wasn’t a real pig! Then I looked to the shelf where it used to be and nothing was there. I heard the teacher asking me a question and I ran to the computer, mentioning a bad connection, I left the meeting. I grabbed the pig by the tail and put it on my desk I was speaking to it when my mom came in and asked what was going on. I tell her there’s a pig with wings that is moving but when I show the pig he turns back to metal, she looks at me like I’m crazy. She says “get back on the zoom” and with that, she leaves the room.

I woke up on Feb. 8th at 6:00 am. I always have to wake up that early if I want to get to school by 7:30. Ten minutes to get dressed, 5 minutes to do my hair, 45 minutes to eat breakfast, and then 30 minutes to get to school. That is just MY morning routine. My sister has to wake up at 5:30 to finish picking out her clothes and hair style by 6:65 at latest. I don’t really understand that about her, and something about it is annoying. Anyway, that morning when I was eating my chocolate chip pancakes, breaking news came on the TV. I wasn’t listening because news was usually boring. But then my ears heard something shocking. “There has been an outbreak of a never-before-seen virus in China. Scientists are calling this deadly virus covid-19.” said the Channel 8 news reporter. Now that was news you did not hear everyday. A new virus? This reminded me of video games where a virus can automatically destroy all your data. A lot of the world’s common things remind me of video games. I looked back at my mom and she was as glued to the TV as I was. Again, this was not your average news. About an hour later when I got to school, people were talking about what was on the news that morning. I rushed over to my best friend in the whole wide world, Sydney. “Hey Syd! Did you see the news this morning?” I asked. “Yep. Crazy, right? Plus, if I didn’t, I would have found out by now. Everyone is talking about it.” She was right about that. The news was buzzing around like bees. “Ring, Ring!” went the bell that Mrs. Kendall rings when a class is starting. “We should go to math now.” said Sydney. “Oh! I almost forgot. My birthday is in about two months and I was planning on having a small gaming party. Wanna come?” I asked. “Obviously!” said Sydney. “Kyle’s coming too, right?” “Duh! I have to have both of my best friends there.” I said. “KK. We should really go to class now…” “Oh yeah, yeah right! Let’s go.” Diary, I know for a fact that you will not believe what happened one and a half months after that conversion.

 

The Coin

By Sierra A.

(almost a real story)

 

I was walking around my house and my dad gives me two old coins. I ask my dad what they are and he tells me to go to a website and look at a video to see how old they are and who they are from. I look and they are from 1715! I give them back to him. I start to look around the house for more old stuff. I hear knocking on the door. I go open it, nobody is there. I hear knocking again. I run to my dad he looks at it and closes and tells me it is nothing… to be continued…

“Bye parents,” said Michael.

He will be staying home alone tonight.

“Olivia! Hurry up we’re gonna’ be late! My mother screeched from the kitchen. I skidded down the hall in my summer sundress. “Hey, mama!” I said. She always said that it was in the Summer I was the happiest. I believed it. “Can you carry the kennel to the SUV?” Mama asked.  “Why do we need a kennel?” I asked, “ We don’t have any pets.” Our old dog tucker got lost and never came back, we did everything we could do to find him, but that was a long time ago.  “Are we getting a pet?!” I asked. “Get in the car and you’ll see,” she said.  I sprung out the door and ran to our grey SUV. In one week was my 13th birthday.  I sat in the back of the SUV and buckled my seat. After 5 minutes my mom came in the car.

  We drove for 45 minutes reaching a small ranch by the coast.

I opened my door and hopped out of the car. There were a lot of horses grazing on grass and swishing their tails. “If we’re getting a horse I think we need a bigger kennel,” I said. My mom chuckled “C’mon.” she said. I trailed behind her on a small paved pathway until we reached the small barn.  It was small and it was coated lovelily with a bright red coat of paint and little ducks waddling around a nearby barn.  “ Olivia, this is my friend Ms. Patricia Honeydew, Patricia this Olivia.” My mom said smiling. Ms. Honeydew was tall and wore blue jeans with a purple tee. Then Ms. Honeydew said, “Are you ready to meet them?” “Wait,” I said, “What do you mean?” I asked. I looked at my mom there was a small grin on her face. “Wait you didn’t tell her?!” Ms. Honeydew asked. “I wanted it to be a surprise.” my mom said. 

February 29, 2020

“Hello, France, Europe, and whoever else is watching! I am a virologist, and my name is Dr. Sandlon. My friend here, the news reporter, has invited me to be on this news show to talk about this new virus, called the Coronavirus, or COVID-19.” explained Dr. Sandlon as he turned on his projector and pulled up a photo of a Coronavirus. Dr. Sandlon is a tall man, who is wearing a lab coat. He has dark skin and frizzy black hair that goes down to his shoulders, and jade green eyes. The news reporter, whose name is Maddow, is about 5 and a half feet tall and wears a dark jacket. She has dark hair, which is quite short. She also has dark glasses and eyes.

“Today is February 29th, and today there were 43 new cases of COVID-19,” Maddow said in response. 

“Yes, and we will have to go into quarantine, so the virus won’t spread. From now on, you will be expected to stay six feet apart and wear a mask. And please only go out when necessary. Thank you.” said Dr. Sandlon.

“I will see you at the end of each month, with an update.” 

 

March 31, 2020

“Hello! I am Dr. Sandlon, the virologist, as you know me from last month,” exclaimed Dr. Sandlon as he walked into the room. “Today has been the peak of new cases. There were 7,578 new cases!”

Wow. That’s a lot. 

“I would give you more details, but I am needed at a lab in San Francisco, USA. I will not be able to come next month either, but I will be back on May 31”

 

May 31, 2020

“Hi everyone, today there were only 257 new cases. I hope there will be less soon, but today was today, and we can’t change anything about it,” explained Dr. Sandlon as he walked into the room, holding a banana in his hand. “The Coronavirus has slowed down over the course of the last couple of months. I hope that by the end of next month it will be completely diminished. In the meantime, you are still expected to wear a mask and stay socially distanced.”

“When will we be able to go back to work and school?” asked Maddow.

“We do not know yet. Soon, I hope.”

“Well, that is the end of our time, see you at the end of next month.”
