“Runaway” (part 1, excerpt)

Hearing footsteps coming from her right, Billa moved to left and started heading to her dining room. Before she could make it near the room, Billa almost screamed when she saw a shadow of a tall male, seeing the outline of muscle and straight hair standing in the doorway to the dining room. Slowly making her way to the kitchen, Billa tried to get out through the back of the door. Her head was screaming go, but something told her not to, that she was going to leave something important. She didn’t care at the point. All Billa cared about was getting out.

Freshman letter to senior self is enlightening

Fergus High School’s freshman English teacher, Jessica Vallincourt, does an assignment at the beginning of every year called “Freshman Letter to your Senior Self,” and in the last couple of weeks of senior year, she hands them back.

When asked about where she got the idea, Mrs. Vallincourt replied, “My freshman English teacher in high school did the same assignment, and I loved reading mine as a senior.”

She recently handed them back to Melanie Smith’s senior English class.

I let it push me make my decisions and choose my paths.

It was smooth and gentle with exciting moments that had never hurt me.

Going with the flow was my motto back then, but it almost killed me
