michelle baxter

I’m so happy were friends again cause with out yall

My life was hard. Not being able to call and say

what’s up or conversate in the halls at schoolman

dat was killing me softly. Oh was up my name Payton

let me tell u some things about me I’m 14 and I’m

in the 9th grade my school is in the Bronx I go to

Christopher Brown high school. One day a few

friends and I was at Shellski Park. Me and the girl Sassshay (we call her

sassy) was arguing because she said that she went

all these wonderful places so I said u always lying

so we began to argue we was about to fight when my

boyfriend Brandon came up and said chill and I left

wit him I told him what happen and he said you need

to cool that out for I get my feelings hurt. After

that I started saying all this stuff about sassy

like how she can’t fight and how they on welfare

and how she is the biggest fraud I know. I know I

should not have said those things to anyone cause

it might get out but I was mad so I said it. The

next day at school everything was fine I was cussing

out as usual and saying hi to every one I know

when I spoke to sassy and she aint say nothing back

so I let it go and said forget her. After school we

was all chilling outside talking then sassy said

Erin , Jordan , Chris , Brandon , Marquise , and

Trevor if they wanted to go to studio 93 so I was

thinking why she aint ask me so I said maybe she

gone ask me later so we keep laughing and she say

so yall going and Trevor says I don’t know if I

want to don’t the cops be out there cause of fights

and stuff and I don’t want to get in no trouble so

they say all u a punk u never do nothing fun so he

say ard I’ll go . We laugh. I say I’m wearing my

cut up jeans my A&F shirt wit my raspberry ice

creams what u wearing sassy I don’t remember

inviting u so I say well I thought u was gone ask

me later why would I do that we aint cool no more

why not u was talking bout me to Jordan I aint say

nothing to Jordan about you well she told me u said

dat i'm poor and im on welfare. You lucky I don’t

beat u up right now but like u cant fight. I can

beat you. That’s the same thing you said in the 3rd grade and I still tore you up in the sandbox

remember. I was little then my hands is crazy now

you should ask about me . That’s when Brandon came

over and said lets go I don’t want this girl to get

beat up .Then Chris was like now u know ya jawn

cant fight she could beat you and so can I .Doubt

it. That’s when we all walked away later on at

studio 93 sassy was dancing with my boyfriend so I

started dancing with Chris and she came over all

loud in my face so just 2pieced her she stood there

probably thinking no this high yellow heffa didn’t

just hit me then she just hit me and we started

fighting. The cops were called and we were taking

to the police station I aint remember nothing she

hit me so hard. So I went t school the next day and

kids are like yo why was yall fighting on youtube .

youtube I said that fight on there . I was sitting

in my 5th period science class when the counselor

called me on the loud speaker on the double. I

said this got to have something to do with the

fight. So I got in there and sassy was in there so the counselor what is the problem. I said sassy is

a fraud and she sweet and I don’t like that about

her and she said she was jealous of Brandon and me

so we did some steps to work out are problems. we

apologized to each other and we friends again now

me, sassy, Brandon, and Chris I’m so I got all my

friends back.

Exposition
1. The story takes place at studio 93.

Conflict and Climax
1. The problem that the central character face in the story is that how Payton lost her best friend due to jealousy and how Payton said Sassy was lying about going to all these places.
2. I learned the problem was worked out when they were in school and the principal called them into the office to talk about the situation and they dropped the argument and became friends again.

Denouement
1. The story in the office where the two girls solved their problems.
2. I think a good extra scene to strengthen the plot is if Payton gets more serious and tries to bully the girl to where they fight so you can actually see the scene of the story of the fight about to come up.

Characterization
1. Characters in the story are Payton, Sassy, Brandon, Erin, Jordan, Chris, Marquise, Trevor, and the school counselor.
Payton was a girl who just wanted to live her life to the fullest and loves to hand out with her friends. Sassy seems like a girl who is serious and means what comes out of her mouth. Brandon is just a simple boyfriend who tries to keep his girlfriend away from trouble. Erin, Jordan, Chris, Marquise, and Trevor were just friends they hanged with in the story that didn’t really have a part. The school counselor is just like another other school counselor who tries to keep kids out of trouble.
2. The protagonist is how Payton didn’t really like not having her friend around because they were close friends and the fight that took place was just stupid.
3. Payton was willing to work things out to restore their friendship and she’s not going to let a simple little thing take it over.
4. I think Payton should be made into a person who is more hard core with her feelings and express them more to strengthen the character.
