Tanzinite

The shinny violet purple stone was unearthed from ground in crimson red Tanzania soil. As the rare crystal dazzled in the scorching yellow sun miners huddled around the miner that unearthed this special gem. The rock in the workers dirt hand glistened and displayed it's multiple colour of purple, violet, blue and a hint of a tinge of brown. As the miner ran over to polish and shine this crystal it looked more attracting and more irresistible to buy. All the crystal hobbits would travel far and wide to retrieve this stone. As the stone was polished and cleaned it was put in a protective case to preserve the billion dollar stone. As the miner peeked curiously at the crystal one more time the stone seemed to wink at the worker in thanks of unearthing it. A few long month of transporting the gem.... as a stranger opened the petite black box then suddenly his eyes widened at the Tanzanian masterpiece. As he transported the stone to one of the jewelers he gazed in amazement too. As a few days passed the gem was on the glass display shelf. The gem shone as if it was combined with the cheap florescent light. The gem looked so different cut into a five thousand dollar authentic Tanzinian stone silver necklace. People as they walked by the shop where dazzled by the sight. This magnificent gem was named Tanzinite.

The Most Unloved Day :(

It was a hot sunny day and today was the dance. I come to school with my blue jeans and green shirt. Butterflies where flying in my stomach as I thought of that special person I was eager to dance with. As I walked closer to school and thinking to myself what if she says no or what if she says yes?, how do I slow dance?, what if I throw-up? More and more I thought I walked closer to school. As I walked on the first floor going to my locker the girl I wanted to dance with before my confused eyes. As she looked right at me her dark brown eyes shimmered and glistened at me. I shook out her hypnotizing eyes glued in my brain. I got my school supplies and tucked my backpack in my crammed untidy locker. I slowly approached her and said shyly to her " Hi" She responded with no response only silence. I could tell she was excited about the dance because she was talking to on one of her friends about who she was going to dance with. i already knew that I had a twenty-five percent chance that she would dance with me. I also knew that she was planing to dance with one of guy friends that she really likes. I am always jealous of him because he likes her too but I also think that he also likes other girls too. But that was my evil opinion. For the next three hours of gossip, giggles and romance filled the air every corner I turned I ether smelled the overwhelming Axe spray through the halls and the bitter taste of women perfume. It was almost time for the dance but all classes in the school had to go to there period one class to receive a candy gram. Surprisingly I got a candy gram it said on it " Happy Valentines day. From: ?" That letter made me anxious, curious and outraged. Who would give me one? So I asked her if she wrote this to me. She responded with a " NO!" I was shocked and confused at the same time. But I couldn't let that down. Fifteen minutes later..... It was finally the dance. The gymnasium was decorate with red and pink hearts, X's and O's cut outs and other neat Valentine themed masterpieces. I casually started dancing with my friend Francis and Tommy. Then after that I needed to sit down for a while. As I sat on the solid hard wooden gymnasium bench I thought what I should do next. I suddenly caught a glimpse at her. She wore a striped black and grey shirt that matched her shiny silky hair. I thought in my head of how she would sit beside me or even say something to me but none of that came true. By twentieth song was an slow dance my stomach started to create billions of butterflies and my heart started to beat harder. I talked to one of my friends and before my eyes she put her hand out toward me. I responded and grabbed it immediately. She danced with me for about forty seconds then she said " you suck at dancing!" she left me with no response from me.It felt like one thousand billion sharp metal knives stabbing me all over. I felt so sick and depressed. I returned to my seat and walked around for a bit. Then fifteen songs later I was going to return to the bench and I saw her and him slow dancing together. I felt like the smallest person in the whole entire world because I was just going to ask her. I knew that I wasn't worth it. I felt like crouching in a corner and cry my disappointment. After the dance she tried to talk to me and straighten thing out but I declined it. I knew she just wanted to befriend me. I know that my friends said things that she likes me but when I saw her with him she looked so happy. Hey at least she is happy. I still think that she is pretty, I don't hate her but I accept it. I sometimes think " wow wouldn't it be nice if she liked me and danced with me?" But that was Valentines Day. There is two options that involve the hearts, chocolates.
I got none of that I got the angry, horrible experience and sadness. I still wonder to this day of who gave me that candy gram....

The Love Dance

Love is the word I can't even describe. Love is when you try to express your feelings to a particular person. You eventually get sucked in. I have experienced love before it was nerve racking . Let me tell you how it played out. It was a crisp chilly morning waking to school. While I was walking to middle school my mind was boggled with homework, home and school. Technically I was the middle schools unpopular kid. People called me Jason the four eyes nerd or other mean comments. What always made my miserable day was this girl named Veronica. She was in every one of my classes. I loved her dark black hair that always glistened in the light. Her rosy pinkish cheeks matched her peach colored lips. Her hazel brown eyes always hypnotized me and left me speechless. Valentines day was coming up and I felt determined that I could finally win her heart. I knew that a dance was coming up and I needed to get in that mode. "What should I do?" my boggled mind thought... " I know I can ask her to the dance!". I grinned in excitement and then I finally arrived at school. I knew also they where offering love notes that could score some extra points on her appeal. I knew I had to act fast. At lunch time I dashed out of my math class and went to the front of the office and drew out my last ten cents. I thought it was worth it. I knew it was worth it. I suddenly thought what should I write to the love of my life? What if I said something bad. Or even worst " hi happy valentines day!". I had to focus. With my hand quivering. I wrote " Hi happy valentines day! I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the dance with me? I don't mind if you don't want to go...... I just like you. Every class you look at me with you're mesmerizing eyes and your cute smile." I then wrote my name. I reread the love note and dropped it in the box decorated full of crimson red and pink hearts. A nervous week passed by.... " Oh my gosh!" I realized in shock as I jumped out of my bed. "Today is the dance!" I looked at the time and it was 8:35. I had to get ready for this once in lifetime. I wore my best red shirt and blue jeans. I then scurried down the stairs and rapidly started munching on my honey nut Cheerios. I then dashed out the door with no 'good morning kiss' to my mom or a 'good morning' to my dad. I got to school just in time before the bell. i ran to my locker and got my supplies and some stride mint gum and I was ready for the day. Within three hours of painfully school work it was finally the dance. I pulled out 5 pieces of gum in my mouth to cover the hideous odour of my onion breathe from my ham sandwich. It was finally the dance. My mind went into a nervous breakdown and so I just sat on the bench for a while. Twenty songs passed by.... I was still to nervous to go see Veronica. I then stood up from the bench and walked around people dancing and chatting. I then met eyes with her. She was wearing a aqua blue dress that out stood and out dazzled all the other middle school girls dresses. She started to walk nervously toward me. I stood like a statue because I was nervous and scared at the same time. She finally introduced herself to me. I think I blushed unknowingly because she then giggled and smiled. Veronica's soft sweet sensitive voice spoke. " Hi Jason... I received your Valentines letter..... I ...... would love to.........have.. a ...... dance with you." I automatically answered "Yes!" Thank gosh the next song was Love Story By Taylor Swift because that was the slow dance song. She placed her hands on my shaking shoulders and I then put my hands on her shoulders. She then whispered quickly " Jason Put you're hand on my waist remember?" I quickly recovered and put my hands on her waist. I tried not not to not to make eye contact and just last the song. She caught my eyes and I caught hers. My eyes where suddenly glued by her magical apperince. Veronica said then " Jason "I like you too." My heart started to pump more blood as I was in love. My mind went crazy with mixed feelings like love, embarassment, confusement and overwhelming joy. She then kisses me quickly on the cheek and walked away. Her kiss was like a big ball of love bundled up in one swift, sweet,soft kiss. I thought I was going to faint. . So after the song we separated and went our own ways. Now in school when we pass each other I always think about that time at that dance when we danced. That time we always joke and talk to eachother about what happened at the Valentines Dance.

Note to readers: This story is dedicated to all the people in love. Also this is dedicated to the lovley, romantic chocolate filled day.... Valentines Day. :)

What Awakens Me At Night.

A image of a ancient doll perched on my windowsill staring at me freakishly her black beady eyes enter my eyes. The dolls clothes are torn and dirty faint patches of crimson red blend in with the dolls dirty dress. A smile forms on the dolls face. A grin sends a shiver down my spine. A ghostly energy glows around the figure. I could smell the dirt from the aged dress. The blankets covered on my bed are my only protection and security. I can feel the sweat of my sacredness running down my arms. I suddenly see the doll pull out a kitchen knife from nowhere. The white moons reflection shone on the sharp metal knife. I could see her jump down from the wooden display table and then my heart rapidly started to beat out of my own skin. I could hear the faint "ti pity tap ti pity tap" sound of the doll walking closer to me. I could almost touch my heart from the intense beating. Swiftly she jumps on the edge of the bed and starts to lurk towards me. I try to kick her off my bed but my body doesn't even move. I close my eyes to tr to move. A swift sharp object enters my chest. I open my eyes to see bubbling blood pouring out of my chest. Suddenly I scream with terror. I wake up to my original spot. Tucked in my warm comfy bed.
"Wow" I thought to myself with confusement. What a dream.

Kuaii

One sunny day my family and I where heading to Hoko Polo Beach one of Kauai famous landmarks. While we where walking over there I could hear the dogs barking crazily as we strolled by. On the way closer to the beach I could smell the aroma of pink shrimp and lobster frying against the hot coal colored grill. I could also smell the white rice fields half a mile away. About seemed like a hour which was only a twenty minute walk we then arrived at the destination. As far as i could see I saw locals and other people lined on the beach suntanning or building petite sand castles, while other people where on the colossal salt water waves surfing through them. I could see the emerald blue water stretched out from one stretch land to the other side. We walked to an empty pocket of sand near the crowds of people laughing and having a fabulous time. We placed down up the towels and picnic basket. I could hear a faint swishing sound of huge palm trees with there lush green leaves swaying against the wind. I sat down for a quick sec and felt the sand. The crushed pebbles and little pieces of wood brushed against my face like a fresh bought paint brush. I decided to go in the water to escape the suns hot scorching rays. I tested the salt water with my foot and it felt like warm water with a hint of slimy seaweed and sand. The water felt nice and cool. I tried doing body surfing and it felt like you where on a cloud speeding by. Then I crashed. My forehead hit the watery sand. I got up and limped to our beach spot. I was craving food so I retrieved something from the basket and had some chow-main and terriaki chicken that I bought from the Chinese take-out. I also got out a pair of cheap wooden chopstick that I got with the food. Every bite that i tasted it was a magical blend of sweetness from the terriaki chicken sauce, crunchiness from the chow main veggies and a soft threads of noodle danced in my mouth. after the delectable lunch our family was ready to leave. We walked through the hot sand, emerald green salt water. In awe I thought this was the most fabulous vacation in my entire life. The aqua colored sea, the light brown broken down soft sand. That was my greatest memory in Kauai.
