6th grade Point-of-View

Brandon stepped to the pitcher's mound. He held the ball in his mitt and adjusted his fingers on the seams. He could feel the pressure of the moment. It was the ninth inning. His team was up by one. The bases were loaded. "You can do it," Brandon thought to himself, but he felt hesitation in his heart. He stared at the batter. His name was Jimmy. Jimmy could sense Brandon's hesitation. He was going to capitalize on it. Jimmy knew that Brandon was going to throw it down the middle. He couldn't wait to take a swing. This was Jimmy's chance to be a hero and he had no intentions of blowing it.

Rock music was playing through the speakers at the gas station. John jumped out the window of his yellow Jeep without opening the door. As he pumped gas into the Jeep, he danced to the rock music. A girl with blonde hair was walking past. She said, "Wow, partner, you can really move." John tipped his hat to her and winked, and then he continued his performance. John climbed onto the hood of his Jeep and began stomping, shaking his hips, and clapping. Gas overflowed from the tank of the Jeep and spilled onto the ground. John continued to strut his stuff.

Time travel is exhausting. It took me 200 million years to realize that. Well, actually it only took me a few seconds, but I first realized it about 200 million years ago. That was the first time that I traveled through time. "Try it!" said the mad scientist. "History needs you," he told me. I went with my gut.

"You need to try harder, Kyle, if you want to graduate," Mr. Jenkins intoned. Kyle nodded his head, but he wasn't really listening. He was picturing himself snowboarding down a mountain while Mr. Jenkins lectured him. Somehow, Kyle knew exactly where to put the "uh-huhs" even though he wasn't listening to a word that Mr. Jenkins was saying. "Do you want to graduate, Kyle?" Mr. Jenkins asked.
"Uh-huh," replied Kyle.

As you cross the crystal bridge, you hear the sound of two voices coming from the shores of the river. One of the voices sounds distressed. The other sounds angry. At the end of the crystal bridge is a herd of wild horses. You notice that they are stamping the ground violently. If you would like to go to the shore and find out who's talking, turn to page 47. If you'd like to approach the wild horses, turn to page 58.

As the train pulled into the station, we finally met eyes. We had been avoiding this moment, but it was here now. Tears welled. Words choked. We hugged each other awkwardly before I grabbed my bags and jumped on the train. A chapter had ended. Things would never be the same between us again.
