1.11.13 Social Action Story

Chapter 1
The Problem .._..

Ashley ran as fast as she could trying to get away from the pack of bullies chasing here. She knew she would get the worse if they would catch her, and it would not be good. She takes a sharp turn around the house she currently running next to, and scrambled high up. The group of kids turned around the corner and looked around for her. Then Ashley slipped and small scream as she caught herself from falling. By then they obviously knew where she was.
They started to climb up tree after her, but only with their leader’s command. His name was Bread. The biggest baddest bully around. He watched as her heart skipped a beat. She knew she was doomed.
Her thoughts were racing as she climbed higher, out of their reach. Then she realized she could climb on the roof. She jumped, but slipped and grabbed onto the edge. They made it too the top and were reaching out towards her, she noticed Bread had gone and then noticed someone on the roof. She thought it was Bread, so she half let go of the edge and half fell. Then soft hands grabbed hers. They obviously weren't Bread’s. She looked up and it was Zach. She realized she was at Zach’s house.
Zach pulled her up and the one of the kids started to climb but fell. His bright blue shirt had a little red spot on it, and he realized he had a bad cut on his hand. Then she remembered Bread was wearing a blue shirt. He stood up and left. His “friends” followed. Zach led Ashley through an open window, on level with the roof, and into the house.

They were in the kitchen drinking tea. Zach asked what had happened.
"I don't know. I was just walking home from school when Bread jumped out of nowhere and yelled 'GET HER!' and I just ran."
"Where's all your stuff?"
"I've got no homework today."
"Lucky. I do."
Zach grabbed his gray backpack and pulled out an unsharpened pencil and a pencil sharpener.
"Can you sharpen this?"
"Can I? Yes. May I?-"
"Yes." Zach cut Ashley off and handed it to her,
"Here."
"Fine"
Ashley took the small sharpener and pencil and started to sharpen it. Zach took out a big, heavy red book with a red rosé on the front. Ashley gave him the pencil and he started writing as he said quietly "Thanks."

Ashley lay on her bed in silence and her mom yells from below.
"DINER!"
"I'll be there in a second!" Ashley yells back.
Ashley gets up, and walks down her carpet-covered stairs. It felt soft on her bare feet. She sat down on the chair she always sits at at dinner. She started eating while her moms favorite show started, "Wheel... of... FORTUNE!!" The TV announced. Ashley was very hungry after she had been chased. She ate her Caesar Salad, and gobbled up her nice juicy steak. She got up to leave the table when her mother called,
"Ashley, put your dishes in the sink."
"Fine," Ashley said as she rolled her eyes.

Chapter Two
The Realization.._..

After Ashley had put away her dishes, she was in her room reading her book, "The Steak Hunt," a book that only relates to the title at the beginning of the book, and the end, but you didn't get it until the end of the book. It's one of Ashley's favorite books, and its her third time reading it. She liked how the main character, Abigail, had lived on a farm and nobody but her neighbors knew or cared about her. Then she had a chance to go to the BIG city of New York. She went there and noticed how everybody wore fancy or business clothes. She had instead if just visiting there, her and her family moved there for a couple of months. While she was there she noticed that people made fun of her clothes and how she talked. Then she realized everyone else wore different stuff. While people were laughing at her in the halls at her school. She told turned, walked up to the real fast and said "I don't understand why you have to say my clothes looks funny when your buddy there," she pointed at one of the kids, "Has a completely different style of clothes then you. It's natural for people to be different so why do I have to be made fun of. Why don't you just make fun of best friend instead of me or least think twice about say!" She stormed off and got lost in the crowd of people.
Since there, whispers, rumors and jokes spread like wild fires, no one ever made fun of her again. In fact, they thought she was brave for standing up to one of biggest bully in the school. She goes back there every year, and that bully, Rebeca, is Abigail's best friend.
As Ashley lay in bed, trying to go sleep while think of how horrible the next day would be. She somehow got to the point where she was thinking of the book she had just been reading. THAT'S IT!! I can do what Abigail did in the story and maybe people might understand. Then she dozed off to sleep.

.._..

She woke up to the annoying scratch at her door. She looked at her clock. It was 3:27. 'Why. Why does have to wake me up now.' she thought. She walked through her room in the pitch black. She could barley see, but she could see well enough to navigate. She opened up the door and her little Cuddlepants walked in the room. She got back in bed and Cuddlepants probably went under her bed. After about a minute, Cuddlepants jumped on to the bed, curled up at the foot of the bed
and Cuddlepants out her paws on Ashley's feet. They both dozed off.
When the alarm went off, Cuddlepants ran out of the room and Ahsley jumped up and shut it off.
