Random moment

I was in third grade so I got mad at virtually everything. After lunch I ran outside the brick beige building. I was the first one onto the turf feild. My friend Clay through me the football, I caught it and smiled. Football at the time wasn't my greatest thing. When we started picking people for the teams. Clay picked me first. Thank god for that guy, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be as confident as I am now. I ran to his side and stood proud. Then, a kid named Jackson who thought that he was the king of the world. He came over, he picked me up. He carried me over to the sidelines and sat me down. Then I looked into his eyes. With a look of pley in my eyes. But what his eyes said was: stay boy. He smiled and stood next to Clay in my place. Clay then pushed him onto the ground. I smiled and thought Get him! Jackson punched him in the ribs and Clay then fell on the ground. I stood up. I walked over and let Jackson hit me too. Then I screamed. That was my plan see, I made a teacher come over, I got in trouble as well but it was worth it to see Jackson scared for once.

Talent show.

When I stare at the black and white keys and look up at the music. Black dots here and there. Lines here and there, I scan over it one more time as I close it up.

"Time to go Max," my Mom said. Withought a word I got up and walked out the door. I didn't speak throughout most of the day. It was pretty normal untuil I walked outside for Lunch. I don't know why but it just happened. Sweat came pouring down my face. I wasn't even thinking about what I was going to do in 20 minutes. It just came.

I had a normal lunch and talked with my friends. Then, without going out for recess I went straight to the gym. I sat down at the piano in the middle. I stared at it and started to play. I didn't think about what I was doing my hand just went to the right keys. When I was finished, I heard applause. I looked around and saw e rest of the people in the talent show, and I smiled and thanked them.

As everyone that wasn't in the show was coming in. I started to pace back and forth. I also started to think to myself: why did I sign up for this. I'm going to fail. Everyone is going to hate me. Then I heard Ania's voice.

"Max, please sit down," I nodded and did as I was told.

Within seconds I heard my name.

"Up first we have Max, playing piano!" Crap, I thought, and started walking towards the piano. At that moment, I knew for a fact that I was going to fail. I sat down and forgot everything that I was told. I didn't take a deep breath, I didn't feel comfortable, and I wanted it to all stop. I played throught my song very fast and messed up about six times. I cursed in my head when I got to the end. I had to play the last measure like three times.

I hate it when I practice so well and then fail when it's supposed to sound good.

I step in, and have no idea where I'm going or what's in store for me. I look around and see that I'm inside a capsule. There are benches and there is a stand in the middle with a iPad looking thing on it. Then, I realize where I am. I'm in London with my family, and we just got on the London eye. I sit down, and feel a lurch. We went up about 20 feet and I thought to myself. Wow, this is going to take a long time. After we got past the halfway point, I decided to stand up and go see what the iPad is all about. I tap the screen, and I see lost of buildings. Oh. It's a 360 degree camera view of the top. I randomly click on one, I had no idea what it is. I blink and then look back at the screen and my eyes widened. I walked to my mom and said.

"I think I just accidentally stumbled on Mi6 headquarters."

I sit and stare at the blank page on my computer. I have no idea what to write for this slice of life. After five minutes I decide to listen for some songs that I like for some inspiraotion. I have no idea what to listen to. So I just go to my Macklemore playlist I pick my favorite Macklemore song. Make the Money.

"Now this is my job, I will not quit it, pulled me out the depths when I thought when I was finished, yeah I question, if I can go the distance that's just the work regardless who is listening."

I love this song because it makes me think. It makes me think about myself. It just makes me think.

"A true artist won't be satisfied .So I guess that's the sacrifice. And I say. Make the money, don't let the money make you. Change the game don't let the game change YOU". 

Wow. How I think of this part is: whoever you are you do what you want, you be you and your not going to be anyone one else even if you try. So you be proud of who you are and even if you get rejected or even if you get embarrassed raise your head and put one foot in front of the other one.

I see my friend with the frisbee in his hand I have no idea where he was going to throw it. His hand moved backwards and his eyes were fixed onto me. I knew he was going to throw it in this direction his hand started to move back. I saw his marker (person guarding him) move his hand to cover the throw. My friend veers away from it and manages to make the throw. It moves very fast, but it seems like it's goes in slow motion. I can tell it would sail over my head so I turned around and started running in the opposite direction towards the touchdown. I see a crowd of people up ahead and that was were the frisbee was headed. I noticed that there was only one person on my team but he wasn't that good. So I had to catch it. I ran as fast as I could. I jumped, and I swear I got so high, I felt the frisbee on my hands, and at that moment I forgot all about the crowd right at my knees. I fell. I fell where I wanted to. I touched the ground and opened my eyes back up. I saw the frisbee in my hand, and I also saw the entire crowd on the ground.

As I sit down to read a book called Half Brother I don't know whats in store for me, action? Love? Violence? My eyes glaze over as I stare down at the black shapes. Scanning fast through each word. I immerse myself into the paper and subconsciously imagine myself being sucked into a world of imagination. I like to imagine what the author was thinking when they wrote this book, because anything that they wanted to say, anything they want the character to do they could do that.

     That is the beauty of writing. Have you ever been reading a book and the person did this or that or if you wish that they didn't die or something. That is what you can do when you write, you can make anything you want to. 

     As I read I feel my face move. My eyebrows move down and up, and my mouth moves up down and then open. I get sucked into the world and I am in a 3d animation of everything. That is when you know a book is perfect for you. When you get sucked into it and you cant get out. My imagination kicks in as I think of how cool it would be to do what the person in my book does, how cool it would be to have what he has and want what he wants, how cool it would be to BE him. Then, reality kicks in and I remember that that is impossible.

     Then, I close the book and stand up, I am done.

My name is Max Van Sickle. I'm in 7th grade. I am studying Concept Cars for my unit. I obsess over Monkeys sometimes. I like sports like Basketball Soccer and Racquetball. 

When my brother lost his glasses lens we were in Fairplay Colorado.  My dad was an actor in a movie called broken fences we were in the middle of a field.  And there was a donkey in the field.

            We were walking around the field: my brother, my mom and myself. I was 5 years old, and my brother 7. My mom looked over at my brother and sighed.

"Jake you lost your glasses lens again" She said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," he said cowering a little

"I guess we have to find it," my mom said. That's when I chimed in.

"I'll find it, I'm the best, you call me eagle eyes," I said loudly (I used to have a very high ego). I saw my Mom smile which made me stand up straighter.

"Yes, yes I do"

"NO," my brother yelled " you call me eagle eyes too! I'm going to find it!" So it was settled it was a game for the prize of eagle eyes So we spread out and started looking. Back when I was five I had a short attention span so, for about 10 minutes I looked very hard and then suddenly I lost interest and started to walk over and see the donkey. While I was walking over I saw something shiny and clear I bent down and put it in my pocket. I thought it was a quarter but anyway, I kept walking to the donkey. I sat and stared at it for a very very long time, until my mom came over.

"Did you find it?" She asked.

"No, I said, but I did find a quarter!"

"Oh a quarter, that's cool, chat date was it made in?"

"I don't know," I said, but I took it out if my pocket and gave it to her. She looked at it and said.

"Max this isn't a quarter, it Jak-"

"Oo, is it a dollar! I'm going to find more to help you save up to get Jake another pair of glasses!"
