• I'm so happy. I'm in love, me and Carmen have been dating for awhile now and I think I'm going to give her a necklace and take her to the 8th Grade dance. School has started again and I always sit with Carmen at lunch. There also is a new kid at school and I'm supposed to show him around. I haven't met him yet but I heard his name is Jake. He seems like a nice guy and he seems to get along with Carmen.

    .............................................................................................................................

    Jake is such a jerk. All he did was flirt with Carmen and she loved it. I'm going to show that jerk who's boss. I'm not going to lose Carmen to that butthead. I'll fight the guy if that means keeping Carmen.

    .............................................................................................................................

    Jake wants to fight over Carmen he has asked her to the dance, and she said yes! She thought I was never going to ask so she said yes! I'm flaring up. I said I'm going to fight him in the parking lot after school today. Carmen is begging me to stop. But she is to in love with Jake she can't think straight. I losing Carmen. Please Help!

    It's after school and I can see Jake in the parking lot waiting. I can see a circle forming around him. He must have told people. But that's ok I wanted everyone see me kick his butt. Carmen was running behind me yelling. I ignored her a headed out the door straight for Jake. Carmen cried more and more. I could see something poking out of Jake's pocket.It was a gun! He was planning on shooting me. I ran up and to him and we stood feet away. I could hear the crowd chanting "fight, fight, fight" I ran toward him and he missed me when he threw a punch, I gave him a uppercut to the chim and then I heard it. The shot it didn't hit me. It had hit Carmen! I saw her lifeless body on the ground. Jake had falling as I heard a gasp from the crowd I ran toward Carmen and then suddenly everything went black and I fell to the ground. Jake had hit me over the head with a piece of wood. All I saw coming down was Carmen, lifeless and alone.

    I was in the hospital all alone. I was surrounded by my family but all I could think about was Carmen. What happened to Carmen is all I could say. They said she was taking to a different room, she was shot in the arm. She was going to be ok as long as she stays laying for awhle. I rushed down the hallway. The air was burning my head. I could feel the staples in my head. I got to Carmen's room and saw her awake and ok. I came up to her and asked her if she would go to the dance with me. She said yes. Then I gave her the diamond necklace and put it around her neck. She gave me a kiss and then went back to sleep. Jake was later put in jail.
