(I'll do one, but it's pretty sad. meaning stupid. and none of this info is true, like the glass doors, or the streets or anything like that. I don't know them, so i'll put what i think)
Kenzy opened the subway train station. She stepped out feeling the cold New York air. She looked at her phone GPS to where Broadway was.
"78th street," she mumbled to herself.(I don't know what the real street is, so ill put that) Kenzy turned her purple pumps and went down the street. She finally got to her destination: Broadway.
Kenzy opened the glass doors and went inside. She asked a worker where the auditions of the show, A Girls Best Friend was.
"In room 38b," said the lady.
"Thanks," Kenzy said as she rushed to her auditions. She made it to the big stadium in a nick of time.
"Hi," she said as she shoke hands with the directer,"I am Kenzy. You must be Paul, the director?"
"Yes, yes. We're waiting for a couple of people, so just sit there," Paul said, pointing to the scarlet seats. Kenzy sat down on the closest seat to the front.
Once everyone got there, they started.
"Monique Ashton," called one of Paul's assistants. He kept calling names until he finally said,"Kenzy Wallace."
"Here," Kenzy said as she got up to walk up the side stairs.
"You know the routine. First sing the audition song, then we'll go over page 13 from the script," said Paul from the audience seats.
"K," Kenzy said a little shaky. She sang the song Only You then opened her script to page 13.
"Can I have this dress?" she started.
"No," the directer said in a monotone voice,"It's not for sale."
"Why not?" Kenzy said trying to speak louder.
"Because it's not, now go away," Paul said.
"Fine," Kenzy said as she turned to her left and started walking. She looked back then hurried back to the spot where she started.
"Please?" she asked desperatly.
"NO," said Paul again.
"Why not?" Kenzy asked, saying her last line. She bowed then walked off the stage.
"Good, good," said Paul, marking something on hs clip-board.
"Well?" kenzy asked.
"The parts will be posted in a month or so," Paul said setting the slip-board down. "That is all."
Kenzy skipped out of the auditorium.
***
After a month of waiting, the list of the parts were finally posted. Kenzy ran to the building where it was posted as soon as she could. She scanned down the list until she found where her name was listed.
"I GOT THE PART OF LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed."I got the part of Lizzy! I got the part of Lizzy! I got the part of Lizzy! I got the part of Lizzy!"she sang over and over as she skipped down the street. She reached home and chacked her e-mails. First practice was on March 25 from 10:00-4:00, and the first show night was on September 3.
***
Kenzy got to the Broadway building wearing her pink sundress and white flats. She walked into the room early with a smile spread across her face. After waiting for the clock to hit 10:00, the choreographer got up stage.
"Hi, I am Cindy and I am your choreographer. First can Kenzy Wallace please come here? We have to talk to you," Cindy said.
Kenzy walked up the the stage where Cindy, Paul and 3 other people were.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"We're so sorry, but theres been a mistake. You weren't supposed to get the part of Lizzy. You weren't supposed to get any part. We're sorry," one of them said with a fake sad face.
"What?" Kenzy asked stunned.
"We'll have to ask you to leave. No one is allowed in here unless they're in the musical," another said with a hard face.
"Oh," Kenzy said, trying to hide her tears,"Thanks an-n-nyways. Here's your script," she handed it to Paul.
"Sorry sweetie," Cindy said.
Kenzy ran out of the building, face full of tears. She ran all the way home and slammed the door shut. She lied on the couch crying her heart out.
"Why? WHY?!?!" She screamed. Kenzy sat up,"Your brave. Your not a wimp. Your-your- your a failure!!" she screamed.
Then the phone rang.
"H-Hello?" she said wiping her tears.
"Hi, is Kenzy there?" someone said.
"This is she," Kenzy replied,"Who is this?"
"Kenzy! It's Gabe! How are you?" He said.
"Oh, hi George. I am fine," Kenzy said, not wanting t tell her problems to her Ex-boyfriend.
"Oh, well. I am in Ne York, and I wanted to, uhhh, see you. How abot dinner?" he asked.
"Uhhh," Kenzy thought for a moment,"Okay."
"Great, pick you up at your place, K? Wait, 4527 Harrington Street, right?" he asked.
"Yeah. Bye," Kenzy hung up.
Why would he all of a sudden want to have dinner with me? she asked herself.
***
Gabe knocked on the door of Kenzy's apartment.
"Hi," she said tucking her magenta shawl closer to her pink dress.
"Great," Gabe said, opening his car door. Kenzy hopped in. The drive was quiet until Gabe asked Kenzy," How was you day?"
"Uhhh, well...not good," Kenzy finally said.
"Why?" Gabe asked. Kenzy told heim the story of how she got the part she wanted, then lost it.
"Wow," Gabe's only response was,"I am sooooo sorry," he said.
"It's fine. So, why did you want to go out with me?" Kenzy asked.
"Well, I am in New York again, and I-uhhh, well, I missed you," ha said.
"You what?" Kenzy asked.
"I missed you," Gabe repeated.
Kenzy was so surprised, she didn't speak the rest of the drive. They finally got to the resturaunt.
"2," Gabe said to the lady at the front podium. She led them to their table. After ordering their food, Gabe started talking about his job. He said how working in Colorado was very different then New York. How much hard work it was. How much he missed Kenzy. All she could do was smile.
Maybe my life isn't over she thought. The next month, he asked her to be his girlfriend. She said yes.
***
After months of dating, Gabe took Kenzy out to a special 5 start resturaunt. They sat at their table and ordered their food.
"Kenzy," Gabe asked,"How long have we been together?"
"A little more than a year," Kenzy replied.
Gabe reached into his pocket,"Let's make it forever," he said opening the little box containing the most beautiful ring Kenzy had ever seen.
"Will you be my wife?" Gabe asked with a smile.
Kenzy was so surprised,"Yes," she said as tears sprang from her eyes.
***
The day of their wedding, Kenzy walked up the isle wearing a beautiful dress.( http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/3... ) Her arms were linked in her dad's. Her feet were slipping on the beach sand, but she held her ground. Kenzy walked to where Gabe and the priest were. She faced her fiance. The priest said the words when her announced,"You may kiss the bride,"
Kenzy's lips touched Gabes.
Who needs the Broadway play. I've got all I need right here she thought.

(Mine)
January 19 1945
My sister died today. She was only eight years old. My mother and father died in December. My sister was only one left in my family. All my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, everyone is dead. I'm the only one left. My sister was carried away for her body to be burned. The air here always smells of the bodies. We work here all day long without even a little break. In a way I'm glad my sister is dead. She no longer has to go through everything I go through here. I'm glad her soul is at peace.
January 31 1944
This morning I saw a woman crying. Her daughter had just died. The woman looked hungry and even skinnier than I. I gave her my breakfast. When I gave her my food her face instantly lit up. She seemed to forget where she was or that her daughter had just died, for that moment she was touched by the act of kindness I had did for her. "Thank you. What you just did just gave me some hope that there are kind people in the world." the woman said. I guess a little thing can make a big difference.
February 21 1945
It is probably about 3 in the morning. I can't go back to sleep. I had this nightmare, where my sister, my family and I were in our house. It was my birthday and as I was about to blow out the candles Gestapo stormed into our house and killed my family. As they were about to shoot me I woke up. The nightmare was so realistic. It reminds me that I am all alone.
March 2 1945
Some of the prisoners escaped last night. The warden was really mad. He yelled at all the guards for sleeping on the job. He made all the prisoners work extra hard and didn't even give us dinner. I went to bed hungry tonight. I'm really skinny now. I can see almost all of my bones. I wish there was more food.
March 30 1945
Today was my sister's birthday. She would have been none if she hadn't died. I remember that for her 2nd birthday she wanted a stuffed elephant. I saved up all my pocket money just so she could have that toy. When she opened the elephant, her eyes lit up. She carried the elephant around for years. These days makes me think about the times we fought. We would yell and hit each other. It makes me sad to think about our fights, I never thought she would die so young. Happy birthday sis.
April 2 1945
Maybe it's just me, but these days feel like they're ending. I have this feeling that something will change soon. Maybe this camp will be liberated and every one will be able to go home. Where would I go? I'm an orphan with no where to go. I will probably go to an orphanage.
April 11 1945
American troops have liberated this camp! I am so joyous! When they freed us they gave us a real meal. It was delicious. I haven't eaten that much for a long time. I saw that lady who I gave my breakfast to that one day. She came up to me and said,” Did you ever think this day would come?" I replied "No. My name is Leah. Where will you go now that you no longer have to stay here?" "Mine's Ida. Once the war ends, I shall go back to my home. What about you? Do you have anywhere to go?" she asked me "No." I said,” I 'm an orphan. Everyone in my family is dead." Ida pondered for a minute and then asked,” Would you like to come with me?" I was astounded this woman who I barely even know would let me into her home. I replied with a yes.
I have decided to leave this journal behind. It is filled with unhappy memories that I don't want to be reminded of. I have a feeling that every thing is going to get better.

Ji Mei  (jimei) | 1461 comments (Okay, so I call this story 'My Mission' I wrote it in 6th grade, so ignore the lameness! But I just thought it was also a cute story...)

On Valentine's Day, it would be the right time to express your feelings to a person you love. Babies with wings might have shot you with a love arrow. Cupids are these babies and I was one of them. Danny is my name and I was on a mission to make a couple madly in love. Arthur Valen and Ellie Tine were falling in love. I followed them into a park.

Gross! They were holding hands! Hideous! It was all gooshy and mushy! I quickly turned around and hid in a bush nearby. Just then, a giant poof of smoke and hearts, the Boss Cupid appeared.

"Kind of you to stop by," I said nervously. Lots of trembles quivered through my body as the Boss stared at me with cold eyes. "Maybe I should do my job," I murmured.

Now I was in trouble, so I flew over and aimed my bow. Oh-no!I missed! Perhaps the humans saw me, because they turned in my direction and stared. Quickly, I shot them again, this time not missing. Reaching out to me, the Boss Cupid pulled my wings so that his face was right in front of mine.

"Say, if you don't want to be human, I suggest to not miss next time!" He roared.

Tutting came from behind us and there was the Queen Cupid. Understanding he was in trouble, the Boss Cupid plopped me down on the ground. Very nervous, the Boss hopped from one foot to the other and bit his nails.

"Were you just yelling at a poor cupid?" the Queen Cupid said in a calm voice that sent chills down my back.

"Yes, he was, Your Loveliness," I said politely, trying not to upset the Queen.

"Yes, I know that." She glared at the Boss. "Zeus would not be happy."

The Boss trembled and then, all of a sudden, he was a dove and no longer a cupid.

The Queen Cupid turned to me. "You, Danny, are the new Boss," the Queen said, not in the least sad about loosing a good cupid.

I gulped in terror. I was the next Boss.

(Yeah, so sorry if I made any mistakes!)
