Answer:
Call your local BBB for a good contractor. If you look in the yellow pages of your phone book, make certain no matter what the people say, get three bid prices, then call your BBB for a report on any complaints on their work.
It sounds like you are going to do some major work, so don't go for the lowest price, unless they will give you everything you want.

What do you think about the possible smoking ban for Illinois' beaches and parks? Question: I heard about this yesterday on the NBC5 news.
Personally I think its a load of crap that will never work. For one its an open public area, whats gonna happen next is it gonna be illegal to smoke in my own home?
I want to hear your views on the ban and any feedback as to what I feel if you agree or disagree.
Answer:
Just the latest action in the systematic dismantling of the tobacco industry !!
They have recently past a law (in California) that goes into affect in January that makes it illegal for an individual to smoke in their own car if anyone under age 18 is riding with them ---- the home is next -- they will run this under the "child endangerment" laws first --- then they will top it off with the total outlawing OF tobacco !!
The thing that MOST nonsmokers do not get ---- and the thing that they are NOT being told --- is the FACT that tobacco has a MAJOR tax load on its shoulders --- and many programs and services --- both state AND Federal run from these tax bases --- When Tobacco goes -- so does this revenue -- and when that revenue goes --- the agencies and programs that run from its money --- will NOT be shutting down !! The non-smoker will see tax increases like they have never in their life even DREAMED of !!! Billions !!! And, those dismantling the industry and those supporting them WILL NOT BE ADMITTING THIS TO ANYONE !!!!! For, it flys in the face of what they are trying to do !!
Next, look for the regulation of fatty foods and legislation against people who opt to feed their children on anything considered "an alternative" diet of any kind !! Full bore regulation of our entire lives is what these people are after -- and they are setting precidents here that will make these other things --- EXTREMELY EASY in the future -- they're just taking the "less popular things" first !!!!!

Is it about time this came out? Some Jehovah's Witnesses want more than to leave Watchtowers ? Question: Towns where Alleged Jehovah's Witness Child molesters have been reported to silentlambs
Home
Listed by each state
If you would to add a new listing contact silentlambs at info@silentlambs.org
The list below is designed to alert you to a possible danger in your community. Over the course of the last four years silentlambs has been a repository of reports on alleged Jehovah's Witness child molesters. Victims have reported extensively on times, dates and places abuse occurred. We have wrestled with how to alert the public as well as members that may be in congregations where abusers have been reported.
We offer the following suggestions if you as a Jehovah's Witness are in a town/congregation where a report has been made.
Do not allow your children to be alone with anyone in the congregation.
Escort your children to the bathroom during meetings and make sure no else is with them when using facilities.
Never allow your children to be alone in the car with anyone while in field service.
Do not allow any member to study with your child alone.
Avoid camping trips in which children go as a group with one or two adults.
Avoid baby sitters that are adult males.
At a get together watch your children and keep them in sight at all times.
Ask elders directly if they know of any abusers in your congregation, use specific names and note their reaction. They will not tell you directly but indirectly you can often figure out who it is. If one elder is less cooperative talk to another till you find out enough information to know the facts.
Check the local sex offender list in your area, type in the name of every person in your congregation to see if any are listed.
Notice any male member of the congregation that does not have privileges such as microphone or other duties around the congregation, especially if for a long period of time. They can offer talks on the TMS or sermons Service Meeting but are not allowed to conduct meetings. (This is only in case of a confessed child molester)
Note any member of the congregation that has children with sever rebellion or emotional problems.
Do not allow your children to have sleepovers with anyone.
Note members that the elders avoid having around their children.
If you are a member of the public and your community is on the list take the following steps to protect your family.
If Jehovah's Witnesses call at your home never allow them in your home
If you do not wish Jehovah's Witnesses to call at your home purchase a no trespassing sign and place it near your door. JW's are instructing to only respect "no trespassing" signs any other variation will be ignored.
If you do not wish Jehovah's Witnesses to call you can also call the local number and ask to be placed on the "do not call" list. They will note your home and check about once a year to make sure you wish to remain on the list.
If you choose to study with Jehovah's Witnesses do so at a neutral location such as the local Kingdom Hall or in a public place.
Never allow your child to be alone with members or their children.
If you choose to attend meetings with Jehovah's Witnesses then we suggest you follow the guidelines above for members.
Remember that most members are not aware of who the molesters are in their congregation according to church policy. They do not know.
If two Jehovah's Witnesses call at your door one could be a child molester. According to church guidelines all confessed child molesters are required to have a partner when going door to door. If two Jehovah's Witnesses appear at your door you might wish to ask if one or both are child molesters for peace of mind. Of course keep in mind if the person is an accused child molester they are allowed to work alone in the door to door work.
We hope this information is helpful and assists with the ultimate goal of silentlambs, protecting children. Check back as the list is updated on a regular basis.

outdoor clubs/groups in Illinois? road trips? hikes? Question: I'm moving to Illinois, Schaumburg, from sacramento California and I know I am going to miss the mountains, beaches and the forests that I've gotten used to going to here.

Answer:
I just moved to philly from Southern Illinois, and i don't really know of any groups, but there are several different places to go in southern illinois where you can climb rocks, like Garden of the Gods, and Dixon Springs state park.

Should the government move people out of hurricane paths? Question: In the aftermath of Katrina and Ike, do you think the government should take people's land who live on barrier islands and other places that are exceptionally hard-hit by hurricanes, or places especially vulnerable to earthquakes (such as the Marina District in San Francisco), floods (Mississippi Valley towns that are repeatedly flooded), etc.
Should these people get paid repeatedly to replace their homes?
Instead of rebuilding, they can be given equivalent land in a place that is less likely to be destroyed when it happens again (it always does in those places). We can give them extra help to rebuild in that location, and we can save the US economy trillions of $$$ in the long-run. They can even keep communities together.
It's been done in Valmeyer, Illinois. http://www.conradol.com/valmeyer.html
The land taken can be turned into national beaches/parks/wetlands/farms that won't cost the country billions every time it's hit by another hurricane/earthquake/flood. We can still visit these places but we would no longer have to subsidize these people's dangerous choice of location through our taxes and increased insurance costs.
Or should we just stop giving them federal aid and/or insurance to rebuild?
Answer:
Offer , not force, to move them - sure.
In return the old land belongs to the US gov. and would benefit as a training ground for future architects (in terms of design to withstand harsh weathers), training for the national guard/military (assistance in the middle of the disaster), Emts/Firefighters/Police (training). For some examples.
If they don't want to move - don't give financial assistance. They were offered a chance to move and turned it down. Too bad if the house is destroyed and they don't have insurance. They should've thought of that.

Pro illegal Elvira Arellano is their Rosa Parks only Elvira Arellano and her son Saul were no shows why ? Question: Los Angeles --
A woman who became a lightning rod in the debate over illegal immigration by taking refuge in a Chicago church to avoid being deported was in Los Angeles Saturday, but did not show up for a march seeking amnesty for illegal immigrants, a march organizer said.
Elvira Arellano and her son Saul, 8, who is a U.S. citizen, were both expected at the march in downtown Los Angeles, but only the son appeared at the march, said organizer Javier Rodriguez.
Arellano remained at La Placita Church, "I assume because of her safety from the authorities," Rodriguez said.
The march and rally at Broadway and Olympic Boulevard was meant to send three messages -- amnesty for illegal immigrants, opposition to the Iraq war and impeachment for President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney -- Rodriguez said.
Saul told the crowd of several hundred that the mothers of children who are U.S. citizens, like his mother, should be allowed to stay in the United States, Rodriguez said.
Earlier, Rodriguez told the Chicago Tribune that Arellano's decision to possibly provoke federal immigration authorities by appearing publicly was "her last fight at the O.K. Corral."
A public affairs officer with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the agency does not disclose its enforcement plans in advance.
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is required to enforce the nation's immigration laws and ensure that they are applied fairly," Lori K. Haley said. "Those who willfully violate U.S. immigration laws face the consequences of their actions.
"ICE prioritizes enforcement efforts to best protect national security and promote the public safety of communities throughout the country. We carry out enforcement actions at appropriate times and places."
Arellano, who is from Mexico, defied an order to report to the Department of Homeland Security on Aug. 15, 2006, to be deported. Instead, she took refuge in the Adalberto United Methodist Church in the Humboldt Park area of Chicago, where she had remained, apparently until Thursday night, The Tribune reported.
U.S. law does not recognize the concept of sanctuary in churches, but so far authorities have not tried to deport anyone who has sought sanctuary.
In June, a Ventura woman married to a U.S. citizen but facing deportation because she is not a legal resident began living in St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Long Beach, along with her baby.
According to the New Sanctuary Movement, which assists illegal immigrants seeking church sanctuary, at least 600,000 families in the United States have at least one member facing deportation because they are not legal residents.
Arellano has said she sought to remain in this country so her son, who was born in the United States, can get better medical care for his attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Arellano first came to the United States in 1997 and was deported to Mexico shortly afterward. She returned and moved to Illinois in 2000, taking a job cleaning planes at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Arellano was arrested in 2002 and later convicted of working under a false Social Security number, prompting the order for her to be deported.
Arellano's supporters have likened her to Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat in a Montgomery, Ala., bus in 1955 helped spark the Civil Rights Movement. But some blacks have criticized that comparison.
"Ms. Arellano is no Rosa Parks," asserted a flier from Choose Black America, which is headed by homeless activist Ted Hayes, who opposes illegal immigration saying it takes jobs from poor blacks.
Arellano announced plans this week to travel to Washington Sept. 12 to pray and attempt to persuade lawmakers to pass an immigration reform bill. http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=4108524& version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1
reelperspecti v I said pro illegal do you understand
Answer:
To compare Elvira Arellano to Rosa Parks because she got arrested is like comparing Elvira Arellano to Anne Frank because she was in hiding.
Rosa Parks and Anne Frank were arrested and avoiding capture for justifiable reasons.

Answer:
Not only social security, but schools and health care services are also being used by illegal aliens. They have no right to school or medical care if they are here illegally. They are breaking the law and they should be put in jail and then sent back to Mexico. Why should people who break the law be given any kind of reward or should be allowed to use any government benefits. I see all these rallies on t.v and they are all saying how they are Americans, but they are not Americans at all, they are law breakers and should pay like anyone else. I'm sorry that Mexico is so messed up, but it is not the job of the United states to help you out. I'm sure that if Americans started to cross into Mexico in huge numbers, the government of Mexico would be up in arms and the boarder would look more like a war zone. Mexico wants illegals here because it helps out Mexico, they don't put any money back into the u.s.a, they send it back home. And people also say how they are only taking jobs that Americans won't do, that's a bunch of crap, because they take good jobs from Americans and they drive our wages way down, why pay me 15 dollars an hour when they can pay an illegal 8 dollars to do the same job. Its wrong and has to stop.

What are some good places to visit while flying through the USA? Question: I will be flying down with friends from a Christian College in 3 small planes from February 27 2008 till March 12 2008. The route of flight will be from Southern Manitoba pretty much South through North Dakota/Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas(maybe Dallas or Houston), then East/North East through possibly Arkansas or Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and then back to Southern Manitoba.
Are there any must see things in any of these States or close-by states? Any airports we should stop at? Any airports with nice FBO's?(Flight base of Operation for the aviators). Museums or theme parks, attractions? Christian colleges? Beaches? Military bases or museums?
Answer:
there are several places you can visit like cichago, boston, dallas, kentucky, williamsburg, san deago, hollywood

is this even possible//? Question: Crews had pulled her grandfather's body from the Kankakee River in eastern Illinois just hours earlier.
"People were like, 'Who's that little girl? That can't be her, can it?'" Kankakee Sheriff's Chief Deputy Ken McCabe said. "I went up to her (and) asked, 'How you doing? What's your name?'"
When authorities told Hannah Klamecki's family — already grieving the loss of her grandfather — that she was alive, the home erupted in screaming.
Hannah was taken to a hospital as a precaution. She slept with her parents and a teddy bear at her side before being released. Cradling the bear, she spoke freely of her ordeal Friday evening.
"I was scared last night when everybody was gone," she said. "I went searching all over the world to look for the cottage (where her grandparents live)."
Hannah had scratches on her face and body and thick dirt under her nails. She had poison ivy rashes on her legs and couldn't walk because splinters and thorns cut her feet.
Hannah and her grandfather, David Klamecki, 62, were last seen Wednesday evening on the river near Momence, about 45 miles south of Chicago.
Authorities believe the river current swept the girl away from a small island where she and her grandfather had stopped to swim and to the shore of the mainland where she eventually was found.
She told searchers she was wearing floats on her arms and pulled herself from the water with a branch.
"That's a tough little girl, I tell you," McCabe said.
Hannah said she had taken off her bathing suit because it was muddy and itchy, friends of the family said.
She was also a bit dehydrated and "very, very tired," said Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee spokesman Carl Maronich.
On Friday morning, searchers found her grandfather's body near the island, which is close to a part of the river locals call "Whirlpool Bend" because of strong currents from the union of the river and two tributaries.
The surrounding area is wilderness with no homes, and populated only by coyotes and deer, Momence Fire Chief Dave Horn said.
Richard Wehrle, a friend and neighbor of David Klamecki, said the area is notoriously treacherous.
"Anybody who knows that river knows that that's the deadliest part of the river," Wehrle said.
The girl's footprints were still visible on the island beach. Searchers believed she had drowned and were scouring the area with a team of divers, sonar equipment and a helicopter.
Hannah appeared just before 10:30 a.m., in an area about three-quarters of a mile from where she's believed to have reached the shore, McCabe said.
The girl was reunited with her parents, who were waiting with family and friends at the grandparents' home.
Hannah calmly sat in a rescue vehicle when her parents saw her for the first time, her father said.
"She didn't say much," Mike Klamecki said. "She was eating her banana looking at us. We were jumping around like maniacs."
Tricia Little, a close family friend of Hannah's parents, said David Klamecki taught the girl and her two younger sisters about the outdoors. She credits that instruction — and God — with Hannah's survival.
Hannah's father, Mike Klamecki, is senior pastor at New Hope Community Church in Villa Park. Little's husband, Brian, said parishioners have been "praying for his whole family."
"Obviously, we're giving all the glory to God on this one," Brian Little said.
Answer:
It's an amazing story. What a brave and resourceful, and lucky, little girl. Unfortunately her grandfather wasn't so lucky.

Blood Feather
I remember…wind licking at our faces, the Californian sun shining intensely. I was just 10 years old… it was on this day my happy life came to an abrupt halt. My dad, Peter, suggested that we should go to the beach, together. My mother and I were playing in the sand, as she built a sandcastle we would sit and watch the water eat it away. We glanced down the beach; the sun seemed to be painting a picture for our eyes to feast on. “Dolphin! Dolphin!” We gazed up to see my little brother Charlie splashing in the waves. My mother managed a frown and raised an eyebrow. My mother ran over gracefully, but quickly, and snatched him up out of the water. Looking disappointed Charlie glanced over at dad. “What’s the matter?” He said lowering his sun glasses. “I saw a dolphin!” “It wasn’t a dolphin, Peter,” mother said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Honey,” he said getting up from his seat “why don’t you let him dream a little?” Father’s hair swirled about him madly, looking like a chocolate colored tumble weed. He strided over to Charles and put him easily back in the water. Charlie continued his pursuit toward a hermit crab, going farther out. “There see?” father said. And upon saying this he gazed up at Charles, his eyes shining. Then he noticed a shadow, moving about menacingly a few feet from Charles. Instinctively father dove into the water, picked Charles up, and hurled him toward the shore. The shadow sped vigorously toward father. And in less than a second something had him. The aqua water was suddenly a dark crimson where father was standing. Swimming in a panicky fashion, he tried to head to shore. My mother could do nothing but sit at the waters edge and watch in despair. “Hurry!” She yelled angrily at him. Father was weak from swimming, “He’s got me now,” he said exhaustedly still panicking. “No please don’t leave me!” mother shouted. Her eyes were brimming over with tears and she stared at him intensely, lovingly. Father’s face grew hard and reddened; as he looked at her he inhaled and punched the shark’s nose with all his strength. The shark sped away, there were others, but for now the coast was clear. His eyes grew tired and he fainted, head slamming against the water as he fell. Mother ran to him and dragged him on shore. The sand was now crimson as well; some coral must have scraped his back on the way in. My brother and I stared at our bloody mess of a Father, too young to understand. Knowing what mother would want of me, I convinced my brother to go shell hunting with me. Mother threw a thanking glance in my direction. I nodded my head and went on. I stopped at a nearby pile of shells, letting my brother sift through them. He seemed worried but didn’t speak. I looked back and an ambulance was parked on the sand. They put father on the stretcher and zoomed away. Mother gently picked up his sunglasses and placed them on her head. She stroked Charles’s bleach blonde hair and picked him up. She cradled him and I watched in amazement as he drifted to sleep. She looked up at me, her soft golden hair resting on her shoulders.
“Is father okay?” I asked in a low voice.
“I – I don’t know.” She said in a whisper, trying to fight tears.
Mother coolly walked to where our car was parked. A cute little yellow Pontiac, which reminded me of a big banana. She placed Charles in the backseat, looking at him thoughtfully. I stared out the window at palm trees flying past us. I stared blankly at the road and calmly asked where we were going.
“Home for now.”
“What about father?”
“The paramedic team said that the hospital would call when he’s ready to come home.” “I don’t want to visit; it may be too much on Charles.”
Mother focused her rear view mirror toward Charles. He sighed and was holding his arm in a strange position.
“Mother,” I said pausing to turn toward her “I think his arm is hurt.”
“No. He’s fine. He’s probably in the “sucking the thumb” position.”
This was a good excuse since he was only four. Her cell phone started ringing franticly, it startled my brother. Mother slowly lifted it up to answer.
“Hello?” she said shakily.
“Oh really, already?”
“Okay then we’ll be there shortly” she gulped after she answered the phone and said nothing about what they had told her.
Rain started pouring down on us as we drove steadily to the hospital making the mood even more depressing. A tall coral shaped white building appeared from the haze as we moved closer. We parked the car near the front. As the engine died mother warned us not to stare and not to be scared she tried to smile encouragingly but it didn’t work that well. I opened the door and stuck my foot out I realized the parking lot was flooded with at least ten inches of water. My legs were short and the water swallowed my foot and touched the top of my shorts. Mother scooped Charles up and we proceeded to the front door. We had no umbrella, and so as we stepped inside the huge sliding doors people stared. I looked up at mother. The rain hadn’t affected her height but her hair was a brunet color and seemed to be covered with hairspray, not flowing about anymore. She didn’t look at the people who stared, but gracefully walked to the elevator. I struggled to keep up. Mother punched in some buttons and up we went my, stomach descending farther down. Then the elevator stopped with a jerk and we stepped out. My stomach was protesting but I moved forward. The halls were long and had many doors on either side. Some pictures that looked like they belonged in a beach hotel lined the walls. Mother stopped and knocked on one of the doors peering into a high window. A nurse opened the door and beckoned us in. Father lay there, eyes closed, unmoving. A white blanket covered him to his waist. He looked fine. The nurse was telling mother about his surgery and how well he was doing. Then tears started rolling down her tan face and we left. In the car mother gained some of her strength again and sniffing she said,
“Father…may be a little different from now on,” she paused to stick the key in the ignition. From the back seat Charles squirmed and sat up.
“What do you mean?” he asked with sleepy eyes.
Mother sighed and preceded, “His leg. His leg is gone.”
The car was silent, and we drove home. I must have fallen asleep, I felt mother take me in her arms moving gingerly and sit me down on the bed. My eyes opened and I saw her sitting with me.
“Are you awake Grace?” she asked not looking at me.
“Yeah,” I said not actually sure of what I had said.
“Father won’t be home for a while.”
“Where is he? Is he okay?” I asked anxiously.
“Shhh!”
She quietly tucked me in again.
I woke to the sound of yelling. It was coming from mother and father’s room.
“This is all your fault!” she rambled on.
She must have been on the phone with dad.
“Charles… he could’ve been killed!” she sighed heavily and plopped down on the bed.
I was quite surprised Charles didn’t get up and poke his head out of his bedroom door. I got up and opened my door slowly, inch by inch. As it squealed in protest I squinted my eyes, hoping it wasn’t too loud. Once it was open I carefully walked down the hall. Our family pictures stared at me and my bare feet made sticky noises on our wooden floors as I passed them. A faint light coming from the door made a line going up the pale yellow wall. I peered through the crack of the door. Mother was sitting on the bed and some light was coming from the window. She was sobbing. I decided I would give her some time alone, so I went back to bed.
* * *
I woke up, what seemed like, seven years later. Those years rushed past me… only hazy nightmares I couldn’t see. I was now seventeen and had finally gotten a decent car to drive to school. It was a robin’s eggshell blue Volkswagen convertible. Dad moved to California and mom, Charles, and I moved to Chicago. I missed the sunny days of my past life, but in Chicago that couldn’t be helped. It was always cloudy there. Mom had driven us away immediately after the night at our house and into the clouds of Chicago Illinois. My new school was an old school, what was left of it anyways. It was just a big boring brick building. I doubted my looks would help me get any friends. I was tall, sort of, and blonde. My skin was tan, thanks to the sun, I was super skinny too. I looked like a living rail. My first day was horrid. People made fun of my arms, which were skinny too. I rolled my eyes at them when I heard them talking about me. My last class was band, people stared at me and when Coach Luke, the teacher, introduced me… it made things even worse. When I stood I almost fell, my knees collapsing under me. I luckily landed in my chair, sighing with relief when I landed. I didn’t pull my flute out and play, but instead read my book, Coach didn’t seem to notice… or mind. I got interested when coach left the room and the girls beside me began to talk.
“Oh my gosh did you see how hot he was!” the brunet said beaming.
“Whatever. You’re so obsessed with him, he’s new. Give him a break.” The strawberry blonde rolled her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall.
“Have you noticed what a cute couple they make?” the brunet ignored the other’s comment.
I heard someone giggling at the back of the room. I laid my book on the ground and turned to see who it was. A muscular boy was hugging this girl. I stared at him; my heart skipped beats and fell to the bottom of nowhere. He was tall and pale, his lips reminded me of the crimson color of a rose. His skin along with his lips looked like the same texture of a flowers petal, soft, delicate, and fragile. The girl was a medium height and had dirty blonde hair that was very long. She too, was pale. He paused hugging her a minute to glance up, his eyes met mine, and he looked intently at me scanning me all over. He looked away, though, as soon as he got the chance. They looked at the door with a concerned expression and quickly but gracefully found their seats. Their movements blew my mind. I was sure if a deer was in the room it wouldn’t have noticed their movement. He was beaming straight ahead, at nothing in particular, and his perfect white smile seemed to bore a hole through me. I looked away so I wouldn’t go blind by his radiance. The brunet nudged me in the shoulder.
“He’s looking at you.” She said through her teeth.
I was petrified; sure his smile would bore through me this time. Coach walked through the door and looked down at his wrist watch.
“Five, four, three two…” he counted down.
The loud bell coming from a speaker on the wall startled me and I jumped. I could hear him laughing at me. I ignored it.
“Bye! See you tomorrow!” Coach boomed across the room. Coach was buff, I was sure he must’ve been a football player. I turned around to look for him but he and the girl were gone, in fact, every one was gone. How long had I been just sitting there listening to his silk like husky laughter flow over me? I hopped up and headed to the parking lot. My mind went blank as I thought of him. I found myself sitting there staring out the windshield of my convertible. I put the key in the ignition and the purr of the diesel motor awakened me. The sky was cloudy and set numbers of grey shadows onto the front of our house. Our house was only a one story, which was convenient enough. It was Californian style with a terracotta roof and tan stucco textured paint. There were some small palm trees in the flower bed. It didn’t remind me of California, only because it was too cloudy. I parked my bug in our curved driveway and stepped out. Mom, who of course wasn’t home yet, was busied with the chore of picking Charles up from school. I walked inside, sat my keys on the table, and picked up a snack. I turned on the TV and nearly tripped over the coffee table when I saw the commercial, my snack went flying of course. It was an advertisement for pools, but that didn’t matter, it was the fact the guy who was modeling for it looked exactly like him. My heart skipped beats, but then I thought of that girl he was hugging.
“If he already has a girlfriend why was he staring at me?” I thought aloud. “Oh well, who needs a stupid boyfriend anyway.”
I was still obsessed with him, no matter how hard I tried to resist… I failed. There was just something about him. I heard some bumping noises and looked over to see mother and Charles walking in the door. I was sprawled out all over the floor, an obvious scene for an accident. She gathered the evidence I might be hurt and rushed over to help.
“What happened?” she sounded shocked.
“Ummm… I tripped.” I fibbed quickly, leaving out the part about the commercial, it sounded convincing enough.
“Well honey, you are seventeen, I expected I could leave you at home alone.” her tone was expecting, disappointed.
“No really I.” I was interrupted when Charles broke in.
“You should be more careful. I’ve seen a drunk person with better balance.” He said mockingly.
I ignored him and got some ice for my leg. I must have landed half on the coffee table half on the carpet. It was nearly ten when I caught myself, again, staring into space… on my bed this time. I clicked off my lamp and tried to sleep. I felt utterly stupid; I just couldn’t resist thinking about him. I tried to remind myself he had a girlfriend, but I couldn’t shake him off. On my way to school the next morning I didn’t seem to think about him much, not until a black car that reminded me of his Porsche Cayman passed by. I smacked my forehead and nearly ran off the road. The car behind me blew their horn. I did finally arrive at school, a little on the irritated side. I didn’t see his Porsche in the parking lot though, and so I hung my head and moped my way to my first class. School passed and he wasn’t there, I found myself thinking of and looking for him.
“How did school go today?” Mom asked when I got home later than usual.
“Okay.” My mouth said but my mind said not okay.
I went to bed with an empty stomach shoving my brother aside as I went. I wasn’t hungry, for food at least, but I was hungry, for him. In the morning I found myself engulfing three pop tarts. On the way to school I veered off the road again, and as the other day, the car behind me honked. I was going crazy. I needed socialization… but with whom could I talk with. No one. I’d left all my friends behind in California. For the first few days, I only needed the memory of him. But today my socialization level was low, and my brain urged me to talk to someone, anyone. Say something. In my English class I exploded to the girl next to me. Mr.Birk shushed me and I, in answer, shushed him. Not a good idea. I was given a note to take to the principle, Mr.Birks pointed to the door and I proceeded, glaring at him as I shut the door.
“Grace Whitman to the principal for defiance.” The note said in red ink that infuriated me.
I ripped it up instantly and threw it into the large garbage can next to the wall. As I headed to the bathroom I scowled at the boy that watched me rip the note up. I grumbled as I opened the door of the bathroom and proceeded to the next stall. I flipped the lid down and sat, balled up, on the toilet. I contented my mind with reading the graffiti on the walls. The most common verse written on the wall was Philip is mine or I love Philip. The bell rang and I willingly left to go to band.
“Stupid, ugly, bald, English teacher.” I thought of Mr.Birks face when I said this to myself.
The look of defeat filled the wrinkles on his aged face. I smiled victoriously to this thought and headed to band.
“Don’t forget to take your instruments home and practice for the auditions tomorrow.” Coach Luke said as the bell rang.
I grabbed an audition paper and my flute as I headed for the door. When I got home I pulled out my flute, to distract my mind from him, and practiced. I wasn’t half bad, I wasn’t sure if I’d win the responsibility of the solo or not, not like I wanted it any way, but I was sure I wouldn’t get embarrassed either. When mom and Charles walked through the door I put my flute away automatically. Aware that Charles would want to play it and break it. He did rush over but I turned to put it away before he could speak. I did eat supper tonight, reminded of the horrible hunger that pained me this morning. We ate in silence and after dinner I went to bed. I couldn’t sleep. So I cut my computer on and closed my door. I was thinking of him again. I got on Google and typed in myspace. I got on the site and reviewed all the pictures until I failed in my search and fell asleep in my chair. When I woke in the morning my neck hurt. I ignored it and looked over at the clock.
“Oh!” I realized I was late and rushed out the door.
I ran back in seconds later to grab my flute and paper.
I pushed the petal to the floor today; I didn’t even have time to veer off the road today, much less time to think of him. I rushed to math, my first class, and as I set foot in the door the bell rang. I hopped into my seat and shortly after a large stately figure appeared before me. It stretched out its hand to tap on my desk and I looked up, gulping. Mrs. Heather, the slim blond sweet faced teacher, waited in front of me. She slipped a tardy pass to me. I dropped my head as I felt the other student’s eyes watching me, and slunk to the office. When I felt that Mrs. Heather had looked away I walked instinctively to the bathroom, again. She wouldn’t know. The other pupils wouldn’t either. Why should I care? Well, whatever. All other classes zoomed past leaving band as the last memorable survivor. I thought of him again, staring off into space.
“Next... Ahem…next! Mrs. Whitman?” coach Luke boomed.
I looked up sleepily. I stepped forward to play. I wasn’t scared, only because I didn’t know these students. As I sat in the isolated awaiting seat I looked around the room, and then I froze. He stood out from them all. I stopped breathing as his eyes investigating me. I started noticing my hands turning from red to blue. I breathed again when I heard his girlfriend laugh, assuring me time hadn’t stopped. I was trembling. Coach made a signal with his hands, pushing me on. I played. My breath was shuddering like a leaf about to fall. When I finished all the students were staring at me unbelievingly.
“You…Congratulations Grace. I believe you earned the solo.” Coach said in a whisper.
Everyone’s eyes widened and then, they all smiled and applauded. I blushed faintly pink and then a dark red when he stood. Time stopped again. But then time continued. As he, like the others, applauded. I inhaled, grateful for a break, then ran to put my flute away when the bell rang. When I turned around I nearly screamed. There he stood, towering over me. He put his hand over my mouth, and again I inhaled sighing afterwards. What felt like an hour later he put his hand away, stepping back.
“You…You were incredible.” He said with widened hazelnut colored eyes.
“Oh…” I couldn’t continue for a moment, paralyzed by his eyes and face, “Really I didn’t mean too be good. I was actually scared.” I said modestly.
“Scared? Of what?” he asked, his breath giving me chills.
“Oh nothing really.” I said tearing myself from his thoughtful gaze.
“Hmmm. Okay.” He said frowning, shattering the perfection of his face.
He turned and winked, beaming at me on his way out. I just stood there, on the verge of fainting. I should’ve chased him. But I was too weak.
“That was great, Grace.” Coach said, walking over to pat my shoulder. I walked cheerfully to my car.
“I made a friend today, a nameless friend.” I thought shakily on the way home. I couldn’t stop smiling, and mom and Charles noticed.
“School good today huh?” Mom asked at dinner, smiling.
“Uh…yeah I made my first friend.” I said, fumbling on the word friend.
“Good.” She said.
Charles rolled his eyes. I rolled mine back and hauled off to bed. I fell asleep and woke up smiling.
“Stupid boy.” I thought, laughing at my remark.
I went to the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror. I didn’t usually put on make up. I had natural beauty mom called it. I hated popular people. They just had to put it on. What ever. When I arrived at school he was in all my classes. Why didn’t I see him yesterday? I shrugged off the thought and went to my next class, Science. The tall, black wiry haired teacher, Mr. James nearly put me to sleep with his lectures. He was staring from the lab table across from mine at me. No one sat next to me on the vacant stool. I imagined him sitting next to me and felt better, completed. I was just too timid to ask him his name. Time flew by when I wasn’t looking at him anyway. On my way home I smiled as I thought of him again. Then frowned to know he was my only friend and I didn’t know his name. When I got home I watched TV sitting impatiently as I waited for that commercial to come on. It never did. Mom didn’t come home the usual time tonight. She was occupied with a meeting that she took Charles to. I laughed to think of how bored Charles would get. Torturing my brother was hilarious, especially if I wasn’t doing it. An hour later when the commercial still hadn’t come on, I wrote a note and put it on the counter. Grabbing a piece of pizza from the fridge on the way.
“Dear mom,” the note read, “Gone bike riding. Be home soon, love Grace.”
I marched out the door grabbing my keys of the table. I pulled my bike out from under the shed and rode down our street a ways. I took a small dirt path that led to nowhere and thought of him on my way. I pedaled on and on not sure where I turned or went, just kept going and going. I wasn’t sure how far I’d gone when I reached a small stream. I looked at it for a minute, then turned and went home. Mother looked worried and confused when I walked in. But I just marched to my room and went to bed.
Answer:
This is a great story (very detailed), only it'll be better if you wrote more of what happened! I <3 your writing, this story is pretty interesting. Can you send me the rest of the story if you're continuing it? Thnx, and have fun writing!
P.S I suggest you to write more about Grace's father, after all, the beginning of the story mentioned him a lot of times, so you can't just create a character and totally forget about it ;)! Continue writing this story, it might turn out fabulous!
