Maggie is driving through this desolate desert with beads of sweat forming at her brow. She is mad because her air conditioner broke two hours ago, and she hates the heat. She is riding in her jeep to her friend excavation site which is in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Her cell phone starts to ring.
“Wow. I get service in the middle of the desert.” It is Daniel.
“Hello Maggie speaking please leave a message after the tone.” She said to Daniel jokingly.
“Maggie you are something special. I actually thought your answering machine pick up.”
“Well I am that convincing. I am going to be an actress after all. So I think I am heading in the right direction Danny. It is north right?” she ask him because she is unsure of her directions.
“Yes you’re right. If you keep heading north you should see the site. It is full of people. I don’t think you could mes it up.”
“Danny you know my sense of direction is not that good. I got lost going to school when I got my driver’s lincense. Do you remember me calling you up and crying?”
“Yeah I remember it was hilarious.” Daniel starts laugh at that memory.
“Maggie we walk to school every day, and then you get your license and forget how to get there. That made my day. I was laughing so hard.”
“Har. Har. Har. You know what? I am going to let you go. I will see you when I get there.” She hangs up the phone. Maggie hates that she brought up that memory, but he always laughs at that. She likes him so she will do anything to cheer him up.
As she is driving she sees a sidewinder snake in the sand. Maggie stops the car and get out. She is fascinated by the snake. She took her camera, which is around her neck and snap a picture of it. She loves pictures it is a hobby of hers to take pictures of anything she sees. She gets back into the car and she keeps driving. The drive takes her past some greenery which she has not seen since she left the city: It is an Oasis.
“It’s beautiful.” She stops her car at a safe distance and watches the animals at the spring. There are many different animals that are drinking water. She sees a camel come up and starts to take a drink next to a small fox. The camel has one hump and is chewing the grass around the Oasis. The fox has a red coat and he looks at the camel and walks away. Maggie starts taking pictures. She takes each one with pride.
“I am going to have an African collection of animals.” She gets back into her car and starts driving again. She keeps driving without stopping. Night comes and she finally see Daniel site.
“I have arrive. YES!!!!” She sees the guys still working on the site. As she look to her left she sees a outline of a castle.
“MAGGIE!!” Daniel screams her name. She look and see him. He look different since she last saw him six months ago. He grew a beard and he look as if he grew muscle.
“Hey Danny!” she stops the car and get out to hug him.
“I miss you. It has been a long time.” She tells him.
“You always say that every time we are on the phone.”
“I know but I like to say it again.”
“Maggie come on I have a lot to show you.” He took her hand and he grabs the lamp. She was amaze at the site. He has been digging there for five months and he found various items. They were old jewelry that had diamonds on them. Each piece of jewelry had a different color to it. One piece of jewelry caught her attention. It actually commanded attention. It was on a black cloth and it had diamonds all around it and it had a blue diamond in the middle.
“Daniel this piece is beautiful I like it. Do you know who own this piece of jewelry?”
“We think this place was own my kings and queens. There are jewelry here that seems to be what they would wear. We also found a gravesite which had symbols on it that would seem to be what a king would have, so that is a big find. There will be an anthropologist here next week to see if it is a true king.
“That is wonderful Daniel.”
“It is because that will put me on the map. It will show the world that I am a good anthropologist and a scholar. Let me show you. I have the place seal off from visitors, but I can show you.” He took her hand and she instantly melt. She love the way he feel to her. They walk through an underground tunnel where they were lamps hanging on the walls to guide there way to the entrance. She looks on the walls and there were various of Egyptian symbols that she could not understand. They made they way down a flight of stairs.
“Be careful because they are fragile. I don’t want you slipping down.” She walk carefully down the stairs. It was narrow and she felt her anxiety come up. She hate small and tight places it made her feel tight and close up.
“What’s wrong Maggie?”
“I have claustrophobia. I hate small and tight spaces.” He look concern.
“Maggie I could take you back up. I didn’t know. We can go back up.”
“No it is o.k. I want to see your discovery.”
“Your health means more to me than a discovery of some item.” Maggie shook her head.
“I want to continue lets go.” She is determine to see his discovery. They kept walking and to her it seem like hours before they reach their destination. They walk around a pole and made there way to the coffin. It was huge and the coffin was red and had symbols on it. It had a pharoh hold to staffs and he has a bird on top of his head. “Wow this is wonderful.” She stares in amazement.

These kids come to school just because they have to if it were to them they would come at all. This is her first year and she doesn't feel confident in herself to do this. She only taught first through four hours.

"Hi class. Welcome to English 101 this is freshman English and we are going to have a good time this trimester." A student raises his hands.
"Do we have to be here because I want to leave. I hate English."
Kate look at him and she smile. This is going to be a difficult year. How am I going to get these kids to like English.
"Yes you do its required for most of your classes that you will take."
There was a protest in the class.
"We already know English."
"English is not text words that you use on your cellphone or the words you hear in rap videos. It Shakespeare with Romeo and Juliet and Jane Austen with Pride and Prejudice."
"You mean the movies with 'thou' we don't say those words anymore. Those are for old people. If we are going to study those books I can watch the movies."
Kate sat down and she knew that part was going to come.
"To pass my class you can not watch the movies. My questions will come directly from the book."
"huh."
"I will make this class fun for both you and I."
"YEAH RIGHT!!"
After she got yell at by the student an uproar from all the students came up. They didn't want tests and they certainly did not want to study Romeo and Juliet.

"Mrs.Potterhouse I love English and I love writing. I have a book full of poems and stories and I want to get them published but I am scared. I want a life that is not part of the Ghetto."
"I have seen my own crew die from gang wars. I have been in a million foster homes and I ahet it."

"You want to get publish. I will help you but you have to show me that you are willing to do the work and not play around. You have turn in all your work and participate. I know it will be hard but you can do it."
Emma look hopeful but scared at the same time.
"I will try to participate but I don't know if I can do it all the time."
"O.k. Emma if you work on that I can find different publishers to help you to your goal."
"Thanks Mrs. Potterhouse."
Emma left her office. It is One thrity and she had to go to the store and buy some items for dinner.

Week three post
Sorry about the late post
Little Red Riding hood in the Hood
One upon a time there was a beautiful young girl who lived in Bronx, New York. She was loved by her mom and grandmother. One day her mom made cookies to take to her grandma house.
“Yo Red! Come take these cookies to yo grandma house before they get cold.”
“O.k. ma I am coming.” I can’t believe I have to go to grandma house I have a date tonight.
“You know ma I have to cancel my plans with Damien. He was going to take me to this nice restaurant over in Manhattan.”
Her mom rolled her eyes.
“If he likes you to much he will wait until tomorrow or plan it someday else. Now take these cookies to yo grandma hosue before I whip you with this telephone cord.”
“I’m going.” Red took her basket and rode her bike to her grandma house she didn’t have a car and she wishes that she had one. It was seven o clock and the sun had not set and there the same people hanging out on the streets.
“Yo red. Where you going!”
“I am goin to am grandma house. I will be back.”
She rode farther down until a guy in a black suit stopped her and ask where she was going.
“I’m going to my grandma house so you need to stay away from me or I will cut you.”
“I was going to ask you if you need a ride over there. It is getting pretty late and a beautiful girl like you should not be out.”
Red rolled her eyes. She know about guys who steal pretty girls like her and she was not going to talk to him.
“I can handle myself. Now I am goin to ask you for the last time to get out of my way and leave me alone.” He moves to the side and she rode off. She heard laughter from behind her.
“Creepy.” She said to herself.
The guy in the black suit follows her until she got to her grandma house in Manhattan. He took the back entrance and ran to the living room. He grab her grandma before she reaches the door and stuff her mouth with old socks.
“Grandma! Grandma are you there?”
“I got you some cookies that mom made. She should have called you to let you know I am coming.” Red put the cookies on the kitchen table.
“Come in darling.”
“Hi grandma. These cookies are still hot and their yo favorite-mint chocolate chip cookies.”
“Thank you dear.”
“Grandma you sound different.”
“I have a cold sweetie.”
“Grandma. What big arms you have.”
“All the better to hug you with, my dear.”
“Grandma. What big legs you have.”
“All the better to run with, my dear.”
“Grandma. What big ears you have.”
“All the better to hear you with, my dear.”
“Grandma. What big eyes you have.”
“All the better to see you with, my dear.”
“Grandma. What a big hands you have.”
“All the better to strangle you with, my dear.”
The guy in the black suit came out with a knife and tried killing her but she knew how to fight. The fell to the floor and she punch him and he punch her back.
In the background the cops came and she kneed him in the balls and took the knife and threw it out the window.
“Police put your hands up.”
The police came and she told them about him and they took him away. They found grandma in the closet and she told them what happen.

Trauma, Trauma, Trauma, Traumatic.
“Maya! Maya! Are you o.k.? Wake up!”
“I need you to stand up. Can you hear me?” Great I am stuck in the middle of the woods with an unconscious girl who I do not know. I knew I shouldn’t have gone parachuting. I am going to yell at Matthew when I get out of this mess.
“OUCH!” Catalina stood up and fell back down.
“My ankle! This cannot be happening I am injured and I can’t stand up this is ridiculous.” Catalina grab her backpack and look for her cell phone. She took out her blackberry and dialed Matthew’s number. A busy tone greet her ears. She threw the phone to the ground.
“Crap! I am stuck in the middle of nowhere and my phone does not have signal. I have a blackberry and it doesn’t have signal out here!”
Catalina took out here water bottle and threw it on Maya face. She woke up and coughs up water.
“What happen?”
“Well when we was skydiving a updraft took us away from our landing spot and now we are in the middle of woods.”
“We can’t be that far from the spot we just have to walk.”
“Maya wake up! I think my ankle is broken and you are bleeding everywhere and I think you could be losing blood.”
“We can’t let that stop us and it is coming from my arm it will be o.k.”
Maya look around at the damage. Her bags were missing and that held the food and the supplies, and their parachutes was torn up.
Maya got up and walk around. Everything seem o.k. her body felt like it was in knots but other than that it will heal. The cut on her shoulder hurt but the blood seem to lessen up.
“This is going to BE HELL.” Catalina explain out loud.

A blog in under an hour?? Nope it took two.
She look at her and in disbelief she rubbed her eyes. This can not be happening. Not her. Not now. She was judt introduced to her boss and boy was it a shocker. She took this receptionist job in order to pay her rent and pay her college tuition. She did not think that taking this job would land her in the arms of her ex bestfriend"Ms. Jamison? Ms. Jamison.." "Uh?" "Would you stop daydreaming and get to work. I need you to get my coffee from Starbucks and pick up my files from Mr. Thomson. He is the Public Relations Excutive on the top floor he has some plans that will take Butterfly Fashions to the next level. Gwen look at her."Hellooooo....Ms. Jamison. Are you there?" She shook off her shock and replied."Yes. I here. I mean.." "Where you paying any attention to what I just saying..?""Uh...""No don't answer that. Just go." "Gwen I hope you remember the kind of coffee I like." Gwen looks at her. It was going to be hell working in here especially with Emily as her boss. Gwen walk to the elevator and made her way to Starbucks. It was across the street and it was convenient. "She wouldn't be working me like a slave if we didn't have that fight years ago."
_________________________________________________
"Gwen I can’t believe you! You sold my ideas for that dress to Sarah. I know it would come down to this but now right before finals. That was my dress and my idea and you gave it to her. I have half a mind to kill you right now.”
Gwen just look at her. She did not know what was going on and she did not know what she was talking about. She was gone for two days and when she came back all hell breaks loose.
“What are you talking about I did not sell your dress idea to Sarah. I hardly talk to her and I been gone for two days because of the funeral I had to go to.” Emily look at her in disbelief she cannot believe her friend sold her dress for a thousand dollars. She thought she knew her but this situation she has to rethink everything.
Emily stepped toward Gwen and smacks her.
“Consider our friendship over.”
Gwen look at her in disbelief they have been best friends since elementary school and she letting this situation get the best of her. She still does not know what is going on.
“What is going on here?” She whispered to herself.
The next day Gwen set up a meeting with Sarah. They met at Caribou Coffee. Sarah came strutting up with a Vera Wang purse and a Baby Phat outfit. Her brunette hair in a ponytail and her face in a color that made her look like a mannequin.
“Hi Gwen.” She wave at her acting like everything is peachy.
“What did you do to Emily’s dress? You took it and I know you did.”
“Gwen- before we get straight to the what happens and the what ifs can I least get a cup of coffee. Do you want some?”
“O.k.” I came here to get some answers and I am not leaving until I get some. She thought to herself. How dare she come here like everything is good. I need to know why she brought me into to this mess.
“Gwen I know why you ask me here. I will give you some answers, but you cannot judge me until after I give them to you.”
Not judge her? I already did, but I am a reasonable persona and I will listen to her.
“The other day I took Emily’s dress, but it was for a good reason. I was never planning on selling it or telling the professor it was I who created it. Things got out of hand.”
“I took her dress out of our clothing design class because I wanted to model it at the show I was doing. When I wore it to the show I got great approval ratings and the fashion designer loved it.”
Gwen look at her and said:
“Can you get to the point.”
“O.k. I am saying that our Professor was there and he told me that I got an “A” for the finals and I did not have to come in. I told him it was not my dress and he did not believe me. He told the fashion designer that I was shy and I am a great student and my clothing designs are great as well.”
“The designer told me that he wanted my dress and he gave me a check for a thousand dollars. I couldn’t say no. I need the money to pay for my tuition.”
Gwen look at her in disgust and she stood up.
“Why did you put my name in this mess all you could have is told the truth. The truth!”
“I couldn’t tell the truth then my name would be in the mud and I would have to leave school. You do understand my name is power and if I just said that the dress is not mine than it will put my family’s name in the mud.”
“Sarah you are a spoiled brat and you are going to get in trouble one day.”
The door slammed behind them and Emily came in.
“Wow here you two both at the scene of the crime. Are planning on killing em next?”
“Emily.. Sarah has something to tell you, and she will tell you now.”
Sarah look at them both and she got up and left.
“Emily if you want to know who stole your dress look to your left. She will tell you everything.”
“WHAT!!!”
“I didn’t do anything.”
Emily looks at Gwen.
“Wow still denying it. I have something to say we are done. Lose my number and don’t say hi to me anymore.”
Gwen look at Emily as she walk out the door.

“Welcome to Butterfly Fashions! Today is the premiere of our new spring line.”
“Gwen and I are happy to be part of this company. We are also proud of the hard-work and determination that was put into making this new collection of fashions.”
“Over the past year we had people who wanted this company to be shut down, but we did not let that happen. So now we proudly present our new collections.”
Gwen and Emily went backstage and look at the dresses they made. It was a long hurdle to get here, but it was worth it.
“Gwen..I am sorry about what happen this past year and what happen in college. It was immature of me to leave out like that.”
“It is o.k. I forgive and I am happy that we work out our differences.”
Emily still felt bad about what happen and if it wasn’t for Gwen this company would have bene ruined.
“Gwen. Thank you for saving me and the company. If it wasn’t for you the company would have been in shambles and Sarah would have brought me out.”
“I can’t believe I almost took her side over yours again.” Emily told Gwen.
“It’s o.k. Now that we are friends again I will not let nothing between our friendship.”

"Gwen I can’t believe you! You sold my ideas for that dress to Sarah. I know it would come down to this but now right before finals. That was my dress and my idea and you gave it to her. I have half a mind to kill you right now.”
Gwen just look at her. She did not know what was going on and she did not know what she was talking about. She was gone for two days and when she came back all hell breaks loose.
“What are you talking about I did not sell your dress idea to Sarah. I hardly talk to her and I been gone for two days because of the funeral I had to go to.” Emily look at her in disbelief she cannot believe her friend sold her dress for a thousand dollars. She thought she knew her but this situation she has to rethink everything.
Emily stepped toward Gwen and smacks her.
“Consider our friendship over.”
Gwen look at her in disbelief they have been best friends since elementary school and she letting this situation get the best of her. She still does not know what is going on.
“What is going on here?” She whispered to herself.
The next day Gwen set up a meeting with Sarah. They met at Caribou Coffee. Sarah came strutting up with a Vera Wang purse and a Baby Phat outfit. Her brunette hair in a ponytail and her face in a color that made her look like a mannequin.
“Hi Gwen.” She wave at her acting like everything is peachy.
“What did you do to Emily’s dress? You took it and I know you did.”
“Gwen- before we get straight to the what happens and the what ifs can I least get a cup of coffee. Do you want some?”
“O.k.” I came here to get some answers and I am not leaving until I get some. She thought to herself. How dare she come here like everything is good. I need to know why she brought me into to this mess.
“Gwen I know why you ask me here. I will give you some answers, but you cannot judge me until after I give them to you.”
Not judge her? I already did, but I am a reasonable persona and I will listen to her.
“The other day I took Emily’s dress, but it was for a good reason. I was never planning on selling it or telling the professor it was I who created it. Things got out of hand.”
“I took her dress out of our clothing design class because I wanted to model it at the show I was doing. When I wore it to the show I got great approval ratings and the fashion designer loved it.”
Gwen look at her and said:
“Can you get to the point.”
“O.k. I am saying that our Professor was there and he told me that I got an “A” for the finals and I did not have to come in. I told him it was not my dress and he did not believe me. He told the fashion designer that I was shy and I am a great student and my clothing designs are great as well.”
“The designer told me that he wanted my dress and he gave me a check for a thousand dollars. I couldn’t say no. I need the money to pay for my tuition.”
Gwen look at her in disgust and she stood up.
“Why did you put my name in this mess all you could have is told the truth. The truth!”
“I couldn’t tell the truth then my name would be in the mud and I would have to leave school. You do understand my name is power and if I just said that the dress is not mine than it will put my family’s name in the mud.”
“Sarah you are a spoiled brat and you are going to get in trouble one day.”
The door slammed behind them and Emily came in.
“Wow here you two both at the scene of the crime. Are planning on killing em next?”
“Emily.. Sarah has something to tell you, and she will tell you now.”
Sarah look at them both and she got up and left.
“Emily if you want to know who stole your dress look to your left. She will tell you everything.”
“WHAT!!!”
“I didn’t do anything.”
Emily looks at Gwen.
“Wow still denying it. I have something to say we are done. Lose my number and don’t say hi to me anymore.”
Gwen look at Emily as she walk out the door.
