The Tree Girl's Secrets

The Tree Girl's Secrets is NOT related to Tree Climber.  Oh, and if you are in my class, you've heard the beginning of this story.
It starts with a fight over the weekend at the school.  Corter has made Hadrick and his little sister Hadie mad, and Hadie acts as though she has a secret.  Curious little tree climber Pordgie wants to see what's going on.  She starts to follow them through the trees, but then someone spots her.  She is all of the sudden on the run, and must keep secrets of her own.  For she has learned not to trust anyone on the ground.  They keep too many secrets.  Lie too much.

Choices

I wrote a poem, and I happen to be proud of it, so here it is
(Oh, it's called choices):

Why do I feel blue?

Why do I feel gloom?

Where is all the happiness

I know there is somewhere?

Why do I feel lost?

Why can’t I feel love?

Where is all the happiness

I know is there somewhere?

Why do I feel scared?

Why do I feel alone?

Where is all the happiness

I know is there somewhere?

I know I shouldn’t have done it, 

Now I know.

I know the tempting feeling,

has hurt my soul.

I know that if I’d listened, 

I’d feel love inside.

I shouldn’t have done it,

and Now I know.

Where can I find peace?

Where can my soul rest?

How can I be forgiven for sin?

Where is the humble,

Feeling I knew?

Have hurt feelings driven me

Away?

Have the temptations, made me

Heartless?

Have my decisions made me

Broke?

Where is the love 

I used to know?

I know I shouldn’t have done it,

Now I know.

I know the tempting feeling,

has hurt my soul.

I know that if I’d listened,

I’d feel love inside.

I shouldn’t have done it,

and Now I know.

Why do I feel this peace?

How do I feel such love?

What is this overwhelming

Feeling I’ve found?

I love my family!

I love my friends!

I love my home!
I love my wonderful, loving life!

Where did I find this?

This love I’ve found?

How is happiness

Suddenly alive?

I know I’m blessed and happy,

Now I know!

I know my good choices,

have saved my soul!

I know that since I’m grateful,

I feel love inside!

I’m blessed and happy,

and Now I know!

I know I’ve found peace!

I know my soul rests!

I know I’ve been forgiven for sin!

I love the humble,

Feeling I know!

I know my love, has kept me

Safe!

I love my blessings, they’ve made me

Happy! 

I know I will be loved

Forever!

I love the love,

I now know!

I know I’m blessed and happy!

Now I know!

I know my good choices,

have saved my soul!

I know that since I’m grateful,

I feel love inside!

I’m blessed and happy,

and Now I know!

Now it’s time to choose, 

Choose right or wrong.

Choose happy or sad.

It’s up to you now,

‘Cause now you know.

Will you feel love and hope?

Will you feel desperate?

Will you feel grateful?

Will you feel hate?

Will you feel overwhelmed?

By peace and happiness?

Will you feel hope is lost?

By poor choices?

You know it’s time to choose,

‘Cause now you know.

Your choice to be better,

could make you happy.

Your choice of listening,

could make you sad.

It’s time to choose,

‘Cause now you know.

Will you feel peace?

Will your soul rest?

Will you be forgiven for sin?

Will you know the feeling

Of love and peace?

Will you hold or drive life 

Away?

Will the temptations make you

Heartless?

Will you be happy, and loved

Forever?

Will love be forgotten?

Or will it be found?

You know it’s time to choose,

‘Cause now you know.

Your choice to be better,

could make you happy.

Your choice of listening,

could make you sad.

It’s time to choose,

‘Cause now you know.

Codes and Connections

Sorry I haven't posted!
Anyway, I have found a new interest in codes while trying to decipher the REAL mystery of PANAMA OXRIDGE (author of one of my favorite stories).  
 Codes and Connections is about four kids.  Sarah, Myah, Sonton and Timothy.  Sarah and Myah are next door neighbors, are BEST friends, and love code stuff.  Sonton and Timothy are pen pals, and are obsessed with scary, horror type things (which get them in trouble).  These two pairs of best friends are so far apart, yet so similar and destined to meet.  But when Sarah and Myah find a really important coded message, and Sonton and Timothy get in serious trouble, it looks like these kids will not meet.  But codes are important, and chances might not be as slim as they seem...........

How do you like it?  I've found a new hobby!  Can you guess?!

The Gavin Code

The Gavin Code is about a girl named Nagiola (Normally called Nagi) who is accused of vandalism she didn't do, and has a mom who disowns her.  A hard life for a twelve year old!  But she knows how to get over hard times.  You see, she collects plastic spoons.  On these spoons, she makes a ton of lines and throws them out the window to her next door neighbor, Ivoranana (Normally called Ivora).  Ivora deciphers them and sends back another code.  They call this, 'the Gavin Code'.  They came up with this name from the people who know the code.  Nagiola, Ivoranana, Vacey, Annara and Gavin.  The initials of these kids spell Gavin.  It goes from least important to most important.  Gavin is actually third most important, but 'Avgin' didn't sound as cool as 'Gavin'.  Annara is not super fluent in the code, so she comes second.  Vacey excels at the code, but she hardly uses it.  Ivoranana is not the best at speaking it, but she uses it all the time.  And Nagiola invented the 'Gavin Code', so she is most important.
This is how Nagi's life goes, writing codes and sharing them with her four club friends.  But as vandalism keeps being done on the school, in a code very similar to the Gavin Code, these five friends must investigate, and their only way to keep secret is the Gavin Code.

The Fate of the Chosen

'The Fate of the Chosen' is about a young girl named Candra.  Candra's family has always lived in Virginia with a normal life-- until Jet (Candra's older brother) meets some bad friends and is sent to a new school.   Mom and Dad are very upset with Jet, and Mini and Wendy (Candra's younger twin sisters) are scared to death.  While Mom and Dad take Jet to a special detention center, Candra must watch her five younger siblings, Mini, Wendy, Corden, Benson, and Reeda.  

Candra is allowed to do anything as long as it's appropriate, so she rents a movie she's never seen.  It's supposedly brand new (according to the store owner), but the cover looks super old.  It is called, 'The Spider on Twelve'.  Candra brings it home, and while her siblings are watching it, she does her homework upstairs.  Finally, she comes down at the last minute, and only sees the very end.  Mini tells her she can see the rest of it tomorrow, and Candra nods.  The only thing is, she already knows what happens.  She doesn't know why, but she just knows.  EVERYTHING that happens keeps playing vividly in her mind.  She thinks it is strange, but shrugs it off her shoulders and goes on living life.

Later, though, at school, Candra runs into a girl, and she demands her to read this one book.  The girl explains it, and all of the sudden, Candra knows the whole story.  She knows what happens to the main character, she knows how the story ends, and all the details in the middle.  Why is this happening to her?

Threat of the.... It

OK, I found a story I started, and I think I'll continue it.

Eva is a super poor orphan.  She makes her clothes out of her own hair, therefore on Orphan Day, she never gets taken home.  She always just lives out in the trees with the other orphans.
Jenna is an orphan.  She's not too poor, but she is an orphan, so she still lives in the trees and bushes.  She is very shy.  She looks up to Eva, who is very nice and caring.
But when Jenna is too scared to speak to a bold orphan named Kim, things get scary.  A strange thing that looks like a girl is flying in the air, chanting something that is putting all the orphans into a frozen state.  And every time one of the orphans falls to the ground, the thing gets more pretty.  What she chants points to the fact that Eva is the only one who can save the orphans.  What is this thing doing, and why is she getting prettier?  Will Eva go to save the orphans?  Can she?

What's Going On?

Miranda goes to the gas station in the morning with her mom, and all the sudden her mom's asleep, and she won't wake up.  Miranda tries to signal someone, but everyone is just getting their gas and driving away.
Finally, a man comes up and asks what's wrong.  Miranda explains, and the man nods his head.  He then tells her to get in his car and find the blue box with red liquid, and that will help her.  Miranda blindly gets into the car and searches, and all of the sudden feels the car driving.  Her mom is lying in the seat in the front, and the man is driving.
Confusing things are going on, and Miranda decides she will have to jump out the window to get away. She jumps, but it's all to the man's plans.  She rolls down a grassy hill to a small cottage.  She knocks on the door, and a beautiful women hushes her to the back of a cupboard.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
