star without points [chap. 5]
I walked into the class, only to see that Sabrina was not there. We typically sit beside each other since her last name is Salem and mine is Salad. Mr. Ratchet, the biology teacher, wasn’t here. He hadn’t been here since him and his wife got a divorce about two weeks ago because he cheated on her. The substitute, Ms. Katrina, “first name only,” she says, doesn’t like me. I guess my personality is...
Star Without Points [Chap. 4]
“I know you’re gay,” I repeated to him.
He whipped around to face me, faster than a speeding bullet. “What did you just say?” I heard anger in his voice.
“I know your secret, and I will tell everyone in school, starting with the football team.” His eyes grew big, as if a ghost replaced the position I was standing in. He grabbed me and pulled me close to him in a firm, hard hold.
“Who told you...
Star Without Points [chap 3]
“Why did you walk out of the class?” I heard Joshae ask behind me. He stomped his way up to me in some shoes that were too big for him.
“The same reason that you wore clown shoes,” was my reply.
“I wore these because I wanted to. You walked out of class for a reason, so what was the reason?”
“I just needed to get out.” We walked to homeroom in silence. Joshae and I sat at the same table every day,...
Star Without Points [Chap 2]
“Good morning, students! I am Ms. Swarter, your substitute for Mr. Reddy. He left some work for you guys to do.” The substitute grabbed the papers off of the desk and passed them around the class. I guess since I sat in the back, I had to get mine last. “Make sure you do these,” I heard her say to the other people in the class because I knew that she wasn’t talking to me; I always do my work, when...
Star Without Points [Chap 1]
“I want to be a star!”
“You will never make it out of this house you keep hollering at me about something that will never happen. You are going to be just like your father, a sorry excuse of a man.” I grabbed my pile of books and headed out the door. “You are the worst son ever, and that’s all you’re going to be.”
“That’s all Ima be if I stay in this house.” I walked out of the house, slamming the...
Star Without Points [intro]
The name is Caesar Salad III; not really. My name is Sean Salad Jr. and I really don’t like my life. I have always wanted to be a star, but as my mother say, “You can be a star, but you have no points. I’m not wasting my time with you.” I have grown up thinking that I could never amount to anything. I always thought that I would live the life of a no-life. Live the life of a no-life? That’s...
