  1. Pamela De Typhoon had a very successful job as a prestigious basic white girl. She goes to work every day with her Star bucks in one hand, and their “vintage” Iphone in the other. When she reaches her place of work, she contributes 99 selfies to her Instagram account before doing nothing all day. One day, a thought hits her as she listens to her goddess Britney Spears. “Oh my gosh, why can’t I be exactly like her, I can’t even right now.”
    She realized she can do just that, and heads to the plastic surgery clinic. She requests that she looks exactly to the very last detail like her idol Britney Spears. The procedure takes 48 days in total, and at the end of it, Pamela arises as a “new” Britney spears. She goes on to be her stunt double for everything, all the while earning 500,000 a year, but she can’t act or really be Spears.

  2. A TEACHER WHO DOESN'T LIKE HIS JOB
    Mr. Collins never liked his job. He doesn’t even know what possessed him to become a teacher. He might have had a reason at the time of applying for college, but that reason was nowhere to be found. He has been teaching middle school science for 25 years. Middle-schoolers, in his opinion, are the most rowdy, irresponsible, and immature children in the universe. They didn’t pay attention in class, they were always on their phones, and they never turned their work in on time. In fact, he was lucky to get any homework from them at all. He has almost given up all hope of being happy with his job. The students file in for their last class of the day. They take their seats, but refuse to get quiet. Mr. Collins tries to shush them, but to no avail. He sits down on his desk and just waits. And waits. And waits. The students keep talking, but one of them notices that Mr. Collins is waiting for them to be quiet. He quickly shushes all of his classmates. Mr. Collins stands up and the class begins. They are 10 minutes into the class when the kids start to talk again. He turns around and asks them what is so important that it can’t wait until after class. A few of the students apologize, and they continue with the lesson. Mr. Collins hears talking again, so he turns around and faces the class. He makes a deal with them; if they stay quiet and work hard for the rest of class, they will not have any homework that night. They agree, and the lesson goes smoothly with minimal interruptions. The next day, Mr. Collins is happier that the lesson went so smoothly yesterday. He underestimated his students, for they could work very efficiently when they put their minds to it. The kids even noticed that Mr. Collins seemed a lot happier than usual. They liked that he didn’t yell at them as long as they did what they are told. Mr. Collins started to really enjoy going to work each day. He soon realized that he really did like his job, and that he wouldn’t trade it for the world.

    Underage Drinker at a College Bar

    Patrick Henry is a 16 year old person who has always wanted to taste alcohol. During the World Cup, Patrick got his chance by going to a college bar to drink and enjoy the game with his older brother and friends. Patrick got a fake identification card so that he could order drinks at the college bar. Before Patrick could get a beer, some policemen came into the establishment to take a problem customer away for disturbing the peace. While in the bar, the police decided to check the proof of age of everybody in the bar because some of them looked too young. Patrick was scared that the policemen would arrest him.
    Patrick, being as scared as he was, decided to hide in the bathroom until the policemen left the bar. While Patrick was hiding, his brother and friends were having fun and watching the game. After an hour, the policemen left and Patrick came out of hiding. Patrick decided that to alleviate some of his stress he would drink a beer. The only problem was that he would have to use the fake I.D. for the first time.
    The bar tender that served Patrick was very nice but looked at his identification card so long that Patrick began to get nervous. He was so afraid of being caught that he almost threw up. After what felt like forever, the bartender gave Patrick his identification card back with his beer. Patrick was so relived, but excited to drink his first beer with his brother. He took one taste and thought he was going to throw up. It was the worst thing he had ever tasted and he couldn't believe that people drink something that tastes so bad all the time. Patrick decided he would never drink again.

    My best friend, Stacy, and I are going to our senior prom together. There weren’t enough teachers available to chaperone so some of the parents were asked to attend. Stacy’s Mom volunteered. It made sense that she would volunteer because she’s part of several associations all about the prevention of underage drinking, teen pregnancy, and drug use. At the beginning of prom, everything was normal and fine. Stacy’s mom was being very uptight and watching the students like a hawk. At one point, she seemed to have just disappeared. Half an hour later we noticed she was back, but she was acting very different. She was stumbling around, dancing, shouting, and acting drunk. Some other parents dragged her off the dance floor and took her home. Turns out Stacy’s mom had a drinking problem she had been hiding for years and she was having an affair with the assistant principal.

  5. A parent who is constantly worried about their teenager (who happens to be a straight A student with great morals)-
    Joey was invited by his best friend, Tommy to attend a party to study for the upcoming final exams. Tommy was going to have a couple friends over, they would study, eat pizza, and then everyone would spend the night. Joey goes to ask his very over protective parents if he can go over to his friend’s house and study for the tests and spend the night. The parents discuss the party in the other room they talk about the risks and weigh the pros and cons. Then, they decide that this might be a cover for him to go around town creating havoc. Joey’s parents decide not to let him go because they are constantly worried for Joey’s safety. Little do they know that Joey has great morals and is missing out on a great opportunity to study. Joey then stays home to study by himself, missing out on important discussions that were talked about at the party. These discussions would benefit him on the finals. His parents didn’t know that the party was perfectly safe and fun. He took the finals the next day, and when he got the results he ended up getting nothing above a C, yet his friends all aced them. His parents were very disappointed in Joey and are making him attend summer school.

  6. Mr. Alafro, a high school teacher decides to start a confession twitter about his life and what he thinks of teaching. He decides to write anonymous statements on his confession page about one of his students that he does not like named josh. One day the students of Mr. Alfaro’s class found his confession twitter and could easily tell that all of the rude posts were about Josh. Anywhere from, “man I am tired of my student smelling like a cow”, or “I wish that my student would just move away”. Now Josh being curious wanted to know about the site and the children told him about it, josh thought it was funny fictional writing. Even after josh found out the students didn’t tell him the posts were about him. These statements soon became class jokes, and the students and Mr. Alafro knew exactly who it was but josh did not. So these jokes went on for the entire year and into the summer and nobody ever told Josh who the jokes were about.

  7. Irony Writing- 4’10” man marries 6’4” woman
    Kayla Hosterman, and Kirsten Harte

    At the wedding reception that night Shaw Tee and Gia Ant were sitting at the head table, on either side of them sat their parents. As a just married couple they decided to give a little speech. As the audience took in the couple some chuckled nervously, taking in Gia’s 6 foot 4 inch frame tower over her husbands much smaller 4 foot 10 inch height. “My mom means so much to me,” she says, Gia laughed, thinking back over her life. “I take so much from her”, she continued. My smile, my personality, and my heart.” Gia turned to the side and smiled at her mother. Who was mopping her eyes with a cloth, her chest heaving with repressed sobs. Gia turned around to sit continue her speech when her mother hopped up and ran to hug Gia, loud sobs ripping their way from her throat. Gia smiled and wrapped her arms around her mother, leaning down to maintain her mothers height. After a while Gia slowly unraveled herself from her mom’s death grip and turned back to her husband. He smiled a private smile, on meant for her, and leaned up to grab her hand. The party continued in fashion, and many a guest said “good luck” and “congratulations” to the happy couple. And when the last song ended, Gia stood up and thanked the crowd, walked down the aisle and into the back room. She changed into something much more comfortable, and went out front to greet her new husband. Shaw Tee was standing out front hugging his parents. When they saw her they pulled away and folded her into their arms. Shaw Tee’s father leaned back eye to eye with Gia, and whispered “Now take care of my son, you are a strong, brave young woman, I think you will do well.” “be careful, and be safe.” As he turned to walk away, Gia’s mother walked over, her 4’9” frame weaving its way slowly through the crowd. As everyone gathered, Gia felt the tears want to fall, she looked at her tiny, delicate mother, and Shaw’s tall, stern father. And thought to herself, “well we may be reversed, but I guess we got that from mom and dad.”

  8. Haylee Abruzzi & Tyler Horan- Teachers create a "confession" Twitter page
    One day Ms. Barnhart got a little bored and she decided to go on twitter. In her twitter feed she saw the PA Confessions page. That’s when she got an idea. Her brilliant idea was to make her own confession page, but have it be about teachers instead. She put some confessions up and then went and followed students and other teachers so that she could gain followers. The first few days were a little slow but word was finally started to spread and the confessions and followers started to roll in. By the end of the week that’s all the students could talk about. In class Ms. Barnhart heard all about it and she silently sat back and smiled, her plan had worked. She was so happy that her twitter page was successful and that no one knew it was her. But with the fame came questions, who was running this page? Who was submitting the confessions? Mr. Blanchard was enraged at the twitter page because of all the dirt that was coming out about the teachers. Teachers were being fired left and right and no one could stop it. Soon Mr. Blanchard was on a goose hunt for who was behind the page, the first person he questioned was Ms. Barnhart. But she led on that she had only heard about the confessions in class and Mr. Blanchard believed her. Now Ms. Barnhart really got away with making the confessions page and only she knew about it.
