Friend conversation

Rachel got off her phone and waited for Kate's car to pull around the corner. A dark blue tahoe pulled up in front of her, as the window rolled down she saw kate's smiling face and smiled back saying, "So, where again are we going?"
"Get in!" kate replied motioning her with her hand. Rachel opened the passenger door and climbed in, Kate made a u-turn and headed back towards the highway. Now resuming their conversation kate urged, " I told you its the greatest mall ive ever been too, your going to love it."
"i guess i need some warmer clothes anyway."
Kate laughed, " you haven't changed a bit."
"what's that supposed to mean"
" Come on, in high school, you remember when we would do this all the time, and you would always warn us to be careful with our money and not spend to much in one store"
with an abashed smile, " It was a couple months before my 16th birthday, you know that made me a little anxious"
" yeah well now we are going to have fun its summer for goodness sake! We are going to get you a hot bikini and find some studs" she stated confidently.
" well you haven't changed so much yourself"
They both laughed and chattered excitedly about plans for that summer.

Stealing

Stephanie lugged her sizable bag over her shoulder and coolly strolled into Claudia’s; her favorite boutique, located on Harper Street. Her brown suede flats made a barely audible sound clack against the wood floors as she entered the shop. One employee was busy with another customer behind the counter, saying something about a new shipment. The other girl was on the phone, fiendishly scribbling something into a pad. This was her chance, Stephanie walked around the warm small shop, stopping every so often to feel a textured blouse or dress. She walked up to a manikin standing next to a rack of blouses stacked up . As she turned her back on the employees she swiftly snatched up a red casual camisole and shoved it into her bag. Her eyes darted nervously back and forth between check out counter and the door. Breathing a little uneasily she closed her eyes and repeated the mantra: stay calm in her mind over and over. She briskly walked to the door, it was not going well, her hands were shaking. She was in panic mode but only looked slightly narcotic probably to an unassuming witness. When she made it out the door she took a deep breath of relief, calming herself with the smell of the crisp smoggy air. Now walking slower and calmly she released a small giggle of nervous relief, feeling more and more pleased as she walked farther away from the shop.

cheesy writing

There was an old lady she had 3 cats. As she sat in her rocking chair on her front porch drinking ice tea her cat managed somehow to escape her house. She saw it run to a tree in her garden and climb up a tree. She stood up dropped her glass of tea, pushed her glasses to the top of her nose and ran across the yard, nightgown and slippers still on. Her kitty midnight was trying to get down but had gotten stuck! She tried to coax it down but it was no use! The old lady trembled in fright and like a little leaf it looked as if she could blow away. She feared that the kitty would be stuck forever! She called for help but no one could hear her. All the sudden who should come around the corner but old farmer Dan. Ma'm he said as he tipped his hat from inside his red ford pick up truck. The old lady said "oh farmer dan please help me, my cat is stuck in this here tree!". He replied, " well sure i will, i'm not as young as i ust'a be but i think i can handle this, iv'e got a ladder in the back of my truck.""oh thank you!", exclaimed the old lady. So old farmer dan set the ladder against the tree climbed up and retrieved the kitty back for the old lady. She said,"how ever can i repay you?". He said"well shucks, it would be nice if maybe i could share a glass of that fine tea with ya". The old lady blushed and this was teh beginning of the rest of their life.

story-matic

Rachel Miser was walking around in San Francisco. Arrived here in her new home just hours ago and was walking up the steep sidewalks making her way to the golden gate bridge. On her way their she passed a variety of shops and resturants but she wouldnt be distracted, not today, she she had her mind set on the Golden Gate Bridge. After about a 15 minunte walk she arrived and was comforted by the beautiful view. It was the only thing she remembered from the trip she took with her family in something like 7th grade. Tonight would be her first night alone, without family, even a roommate. She was in a tiny dorm located on the south wing of the small campus. It was her first year at FIDM( Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising), it was an exciting leap towards independence and growing up. As Rachel gazed longly at the beautiful water and the golden gate bridge she was filled with a comforting feeling of home. She took some pictures and made some notes, she was planning a making a design inspired by the beauty of the san francisco coast. She sat on bench with the breathtaking view in front of her as her muse and started reviewing her notes and brainstorming ideas. She saw a dirty pair of navy converse coming towards her out of her peripheral vision. She turned her head and made eye contact with the owner. Right there from the get-go her crush started. She stammered and glanced awkwardly at the ground and then back into his expectant face. She felt her blush creeping up over her face and gave a smile and a quite hi. He cleared his throat and said" um yeah hi, Im going school here in california this year and uh, um well i was wondering if you were a fellow writer"with a glance at her notebook and pen in hand . She blushed a little deeper, and regaining control of her self, confidently stated that she was not but was in fact studying to be a designer of some sort specifically undecided. As they chatted Rachel discover that he was a Freshman as well and had also just moved here, only a month earlier.
