This is one of my creative writing pieces that I am proud of. I am proud of it because it is one of the more descriptive pieces I have done. I also haven’t finished the story. I would really like to finish writing it so I can see where the story goes. I also like the characters I made.

November 30, 2015

            It is a cold winter day. The sky is gray. The ground was capped in a sheet of thick ice. It is the coldest winter Alaska had ever seen. As I walked out of the door a puff of breath leaves my mouth. I walked over to the bus stop and waited for Olive. Olive has been my best friend since we were in preschool. She is the smartest girl in school and the winner of multiple spelling bees. She has ginger hair and huge glasses that are too big for her face. She wears button down shirts with sweaters layered over. She wears navy blue skirts that reach her knees and black shoes. She is plain but she is my best friend. When Olive arrives bags that are as black as coal hang from her eyes. She looks like she got no sleep last night.

“Why are you so tired?” I ask as she approaches.

“I was studying for the test,” Olive mumbled. Test? I don’t remember a test.

“The biology test,” Olive said “The one assigned by Ms. Wikies.”

Ms. Wikies is the meanest teacher in the school. She has pale skin and jet black hair. Her hair is always slicked back into a low pony which comes down to her shoulders. She wears black dresses and black shoes. There is nothing else to describe. Some kids say she is a witch others say she is a vampire. She has never missed a day teaching at Hillview School. She once broke her leg and came in with a fresh cast. If I failed this test I’ll be in a lot of trouble. We got on the bus and I stared at my notebook until my eyes hurt. Stepping out of the warm bus into the cold air waked me from my trance of study. When we walked into the building the feeling of chatter and Monday mornings hit my face. Olive and I rush to our lockers and put our books away. Today is a usual Monday morning. Down the hall number 1 bully, Corey Ganson, picks on Dylan Rodriguez, who apparently owes him lunch money.
