Written by: Jessica Mendez

One day everyone was at their house getting ready for the dance. This boy named Byron was going to pick up his girlfriend Cathy, and meet some people at the dance. As soon as everyone got there, they started dancing and had fun. Nobody thought anything was going to go wrong, or so they all thought....

Byron said, "This dance is excellent!!"
( A slow song comes on)
(Cathy slowly goes up to Byron and asked him to dance)
Cathy said, "Will you dance with me Byron?"
"Of course I will," Byron says
(Everyone was having a great time)
Out of no where someone said, "There's a fight outside!"
"Who's fighting?," they asked
"Mark and some other kid!!!!"
(Byron runs as fast as he can outside)
Byron says, "STOP!! STOP this now!"
(It turned out that the other person fighting one of Angela Shepherd's friends)
(Byron tries to stop the fight but he couldn't they had already hit Mark on the head with a bottle)
Byron says, "Are you OK?"
(he had no response)
(Byron quickly rushed him to the hospital)
As soon as they got to the hospital they gave him stitches they realize he had other scars from other fights. Blood was coming out of his cut and they had to take the glass out of his head from the bottle. They wanted to keep him over night, so they did. The next day he went home and after a while and he was OK!! He had learned his lesson after that incident.) 

Beginning at the End
                                                        Written by: Phil Eck
     After Mark got out of jail, him and Bryon got into a huge fight. Bryon was a pool hustler and Mark was a thief who stole cars. Bryon has dark hair and he was kind of tall. Mark had blond hair, green eyes and he was about 5'6". They always got along just fine until Mark started to be attracted to Cathy. Mark didn't go out and tell him, but whenever they would go out Bryon would get the feeling that Mark liked her. Actually, Cathy left Bryon but he didn't know that. The reason she did that was because her brother and Bryon were both drug dealers, but Mark was clean. The reason she found out was because they got put in jail. When Cathy found all of that out she was heart broken. Mark sort of came by her side. He kept reassuring her that everything would be ok. Mark started to spend a lot of time with Cathy. Cathy started to realize that she kind of liked Mark. But she still had feelings for Bryon. By this time Bryon got out of jail. As soon as Bryon got out of jail, he was looking for Mark. He wanted to get back at Mark for stealing his girlfriend. Finally, when Bryon found Mark he wanted answers, "Why did you take her? Does she still like me?"  But Mark just told him, "It's your own fault Bryan."  Bryan didn't believe him. He pulled out a gun and said, "I hate you!" BOOM!!
M&M's Recovery
                      Written by: Terry Bonadonna

     M&M walked home with a bag of M&Ms in his hand. He had been turned down again. It wasn't easy for him to get a job with all the problems he had. It happened so long ago. He could hardly remember now. He walked by "Ed's." It was a bar. He passed by almost every day, but he had never been inside. He all of a sudden had a flashback. He thought he remembered a long time ago, a guy named Charlie having something to do with this bar, but it was too hard to remember. As he was looking at this place, some guy walked past. "M&M?" the man asked as if he knew who he was looking at.
"Who are you?" M&M responded.
"It's Bryan. Don't you remember me?"
M&M thought back for a while. He thought that he remembered Bryan, but it was hard to remember.
"I haven't seen your face in years."
M&M still stood there in silence. "Come on, you don't remember me?" Bryan said.
Then a flash came into M&M's head. He all of a sudden remembered Bryan. He remembered Mark. He remembered a lot of what happened in his childhood. "BRYAN!!!" M&M shouted out. He could remember everything. He remembered his sister Cathy who died 8 years earlier when she was murdered by her boyfriend, Ponyboy Curtis. He remembered how Ponyboy escaped from prison after 2 years, but then was tracked down and killed by the police. But then, after about 6 seconds, it was all gone.
At that moment, Bryan got hit by a car. M&M ran to the nearest phone and called an ambulance.
Bryon stayed in the hospital for about 2 or 3 days. M&M moved to Kentucky in that time, and never saw Bryon again. M&M never forgot Bryon. For some reason after that day M&M never had trouble remembering things ever again.
