Fairy Tale Poem<3

Since the day they lived
happily ever after
I left that awful house
With that stupid cat
I am only a little mouse
Now i live with Cinderella
prince and all my friends
In a fairytale,
that never seems to end

short story

The best night of my life


It was a week before Christmas and I won Hannah Montana tickets on the radio. I was wicked excited and I was bringing Katie with me! The concert was on the 21st and The Jonas Brothers were going to be there also. I could not wait to go because they are my favorite. That Friday was the concert and that school day felt like it was dragging on, but as soon as the bell rang I ran down the stairs and went home. Later that night Katie stopped by and we got ready to go. I had a Hannah Montana shirt on and she had a Jonas Brothers shirt on. We got in the car and we were off to the DCU center in Worcester. We waited to get in and when we got in, there was a huge line of people in front of us. We were wondering why, so we cut everyone to see what all the commotion was. We finally reached the front of the line and right there standing in front of me was HANNAH MONTANA! My heart was racing, I couldn’t believe that we were going to meet her. I walked up and she signed a picture and my shirt and she started talking to me. She said “You guys are lucky. You’re the last people that I'm giving out signatures to”. After we talked to Hannah she gave us backstage passes for after the show. I was so happy that I almost started crying. We ran to get a soda. Then we heard music. We ran into the arena and sat in front row seats. We were happy that my parents got us front row seats, but now we had backstage passes, too! The concert hadn’t even started and it was already a dream come true. The Jonas brothers took the stage and everyone started screaming. Nick Jonas, my favorite, reached down and touched my hand. I thought to myself Can this night get any better? The Jonas Brothers sang seven songs and then they ran off. There was a fifteen minute break and all of a sudden the lights went off. Hannah came on the stage. I started screaming! She came down from the stage in a box and her first song was "Rockstar". It was amazing. She reached over and waved to Katie and me. She sang thirteen songs and then Hannah and Nick went out to the cat walk and start singing together. It was incredible. Another fifteen minute intermission started. Katie and I needed to use the bathroom. We could not figure out where it was so since we had backstage passes, we went back there. We opened the doors and there, were two huge security guards standing right in our way. We talked to the body guards and they would not let us through. We started walking out just as Hannah was walking in. She asked why we were leaving and we told her that the security guard wouldn’t let us in. She went up to them and said they are with me. The guards apologized and we entered backstage. I was overwhelmed and excited we used the bathroom really quick and asked to take a picture with her. Hannah said Yeah, of course, but then her five minute warning was up, we had to wait until after the show. We ran back out to get our seat right as Hannah took the stage again. This time she did not come out as Hannah, she came out as Miley! She started singing. I was jumping up and down as I landed on my soda it spilled all over me. I was so upset. It was my new Hannah shirt, too! There was one last song left and everyone was packing up. Katie and I stayed seated. We hopped up on stage and went into the back. We told Hannah and The Jonas Brothers that they did a good job. I told Hannah about my shirt, so she gave me a new one. Hannah, Nick, Joe, and Kevin all signed it. That had to be the best night of my life. That night I couldn’t even sleep because I was too busy thinking about my night.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Justin Timberlake was right what goes around defiantly comes around. People growing up don’t always treat other people well. In movies you always see a popular group picking on nerds, but in reality it’s not like that. You can’t treat others how you don’t want to be treated it will back fire.
People don’t realize it but try putting yourself in someone else’s position it’s not fun and it makes you feel different about the situation. If somebody does something mean to you do not do anything back because one day they will regret doing it and it will back fire on them. People are unfair but two wrongs don’t make a right and try being the bigger person.
My mom used to always tell my brother and I that two wrongs don’t make a right but we never listened to her. Now I know what she meant. After her telling me that I started to think about it and I started seeing what she was talking about.
