George’s first day with the senior class<br />
So it was my first day at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Bear</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>School</strong>. I thought it would be<br />
kind of weird coming in as a new senior. I was really nervous about meeting<br />
my new classmates: who would be my new friends? In the end it turned out<br />
to be quite an interesting day.<br />
It all started when I drove into the parking lot. <strong>The</strong> car next to me pulled<br />
in with the bass pumping rap way too loud. I wondered if the school was pretty<br />
diverse, but the driver turned out to be white. I figured out later his name was<br />
Robbie, and he was what they called “wangsta.” Stephanie Pedersen was rapping<br />
and bobbing her head with a huge pair of shades on. Walking in I had to jump<br />
out of the way of two cars pulling donuts in the school parking lot. That was<br />
Nate and Trevor, the speed demons of the grade.<br />
Inside the school there was this weird guy posing like he was in a GQ<br />
magazine It did not work with the uniform. His name was Kyle. I asked him<br />
where my first class was and it turned out we had the same classes, so he<br />
showed me around for the day. We were about to be late, when I saw a blur<br />
fly past me. “That’s Marc, he is crazy fast,” Kyle told me. <strong>The</strong> fact that it was<br />
eight in the morning or that school started in two minutes didn’t stop the three<br />

Highlight of the Year<br />
watching the boys basketball team play at<br />
State in Spokane<br />
a class act at TBCS<br />
a satire from one of our own<br />
amigas, otherwise known as Kimi, Megan, and Katie Ball, from singing their<br />
hearts out as they waltzed down the hall. <strong>The</strong> whole day it was Avril Lavigne,<br />
Earth Wind and Fire, and more Avril Lavigne.<br />
We got into our first class, called graphic design. “Hey you! You must<br />
be the new kid!” I thought my ears were about to bleed as Kelly introduced<br />
herself. <strong>The</strong>re was one other senior in that class, a short scruffy looking guy.<br />
“What’s your name?” I said. “Its uhh…” I leaned forward so I could hear him,<br />
“It’s Julian.” <strong>The</strong>n he stared at me for a few seconds, a slight awkwardness<br />
in the air. “He’s a bit on the quiet side,” explained Kyle, “but we love him for<br />
it.” Another girl walked in and headed straight at me. She had a big smile and<br />
punched me on my arm, saying “Hey, how ya doing, I’m Cara.” I tried to stop<br />
myself from wincing at the punch as I replied. She was very strong.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next class was Anatomy. <strong>The</strong> first thing I heard was Sam Pomeroy<br />
singing, and then he told me all about this amazing band called Hillsong<br />
United for twenty minutes straight. He had assured me that he would burn<br />
me a copy of their best stuff, and that I would finally find happiness in life.<br />
Mrs. Dunn listed off all the ways to be injured in the whole realm of scientific<br />
knowledge, and Kaile Worman had all of them. Most intriguing of all, I saw<br />
