this is the kind of world we live in hurtin people just fore fun. getting angry then going off like a gun, honestly what has this world become?
I come from a small town, where everyone Knew each other and everything that went on. Kids who would go to school and as soon As we all got home we would link at The park play football or catch things in The lodi creek. I come from the town where not everyone Got along and but most tried. Kids would fist fight and make up the day After like nothing happened. And every day the same old lodi kids Would do the same thing just different Day.
1. My bestfriend and I buy each other everything, and do everything together. she also check up on me everyday, I do also. 2. my best friend and I don’t look out for each other. 3. my bestfriend takes me out of state almost everytime she leaves Ohio.
One time I really covered somebody Was when my Parent was talking Bad About my Best friend I got really Mad and yelled and Backed them up.
This kind of world we live in is cruel, cold & heartless. No one really cares about anyone anymore. “There is plenty of fish in this dirty sea.” Someone wise told me just by the way you can view everything & everyone. Sit back & observe everyone & see how they all move.
Me and my mom may argue and she may make me mad but I can play PS4 to make sure It wasnt in vain.

It was hot. Everyone was leaving. The score was 14 to 36. I was happy My Nephew was in my left arm and my helmet was in my right. The gates were filled with people leaving. My girl was by my sister. My girl kept saying I looked good. I changed outta my cleats to my Jordans
