Bruises

Author's Note: It's amazing how in one night you can have the best time ever. It was in the middle of July when i went to a concert that indented my brain as the best moment in my life. Read this story to hear about my favorite memory. 

"Skyler, would you like to come to the Train concert with me?" One amazing night all started with that one sentence. It was in the beginning of July when my friend, Michelle, invited me to go see the band Train with her in concert. I was filled with joy! I've gone to plenty of concerts and knew how concerts went, but little did I know what was coming my way. 

The concert was at Summerfest in the Amphitheater. Summerfest is a festival in Milwaukee. It is known to be one of the most popular music festivals in the Untied States and I was more than ecstatic to be able to go watch a band that I looked up too. The whole time while walking around Summerfest I smiled knowing that tonight I was going to be at Train's concert. When we walked to the concert building the lady asked for my ticket, I gave it to her and she spoke, "Wow lucky girl you are. Enjoy the concert." I responded saying, "Thank you." What did the lady mean by saying wow lucky girl? Guess I'll find out later. Michelle and I kept walking forward while Laura, Michelle's sister, and Monica, Laura's friend, walked behind us. When we got into the building the concert was going to be in, Michelle walked all the way  towards the stage. I smiled and said, "Michelle what are you doing?" She glanced at me and responded, "Sky, we're in the third row." Suddenly a rush went through me and I wanted more than everything for this concert to start. 

"I love you Milwaukee!" Pat Monahan, the lead singer of Train, sang, as he approached the stage. He started singing one of my favorite songs by him, 50 Ways To Say Goodbye. This was awesome! Train was literally right in front of me! Michelle, Laura, Monica, and I all started screaming out the words, "My head is paralyzed. My head was over sized. I'll take the high road like I should!" We started doing dance moves to act out the words and we couldn't stop laughing. I screamed to Michelle, "This is the best night ever! How could it get better?" She laughed out, "It can't!" We continued dancing and singing and then came the words from Pat Monahan's voice, "Who would like to come up on stage with me?" 

Suddenly I thought to myself that I wanted too, but I realized I was really shy and would probably freeze on stage. I turned at Monica and started pointing at her. Laura and Michelle followed. "Would you young lady like to come on stage with me?" Pat asked Monica. "I would love too!" Monica responded. Pat started singing and Monica just smiled and sang along. Pat held the microphone up  to Monica's chin and she belted out, "These Bruises make for better conversation." I looked at Michelle stunned, Monica was a phenomenal singer. Pat's mouth dropped open in shock by how beautiful her voice was. They sang the rest of the song together and when the song finished, Pat gave Monica a hug and told her he was impressed by her voice. He also was impressed that she knew all the words. Monica came running off the stage and we all gave her big hugs. She was amazing, but the night still wasn't over. 

While the concert continued Michelle and I kept singing along to the songs and dancing. Michelle poked me and pointed in a direction at the end of the stage. I looked and Pat was walking along the fences that were put up around the concert seats. He was singing, Marry Me, and taking pictures with fans. Michelle and I looked at each other and ran to the fence. He was so close! Then suddenly I froze noticing he was a foot away from me. I started screaming and before I knew it, he was right in front of me. Pat grabbed Michelle's phone and took a picture. Michelle and I ran back to our seats and jumped with joy. It was officially the best night ever.

I remember moments before I even set foot in the concert building I thought it was going to be like any other concert. This night reminded me that even the events you thought would never happen really can. I smile every time I re-tell this story; remembering how incredible it was. I still have moments where I pinch myself wondering if it really did happen, but to me, this story can show you to always remember you will never know what really is coming your way. 

I Fancy British Accents

Author's Note: For class, our teachers gave us the idea to write down three truths and one lie. After reading our truths and lies we picked a truth or lie to write about. My story is about how much I fancy British accents. Do you think this is a truth or a lie?

How come everything sounds so much more intelligent when it’s in a British accent? This is a question I tend to ask myself a lot, but do not succeed to find an answer. It’s like people in the United Kingdom could say the dumbest thing, but it would still sound as smart as a scientist because of their mesmerizing accent.

Not only that, but when people are British they always seem more attractive. Their voices just scream out at you and you instantly fall in love. Believe it or not, but it’s the truth. Look at the band One Direction. Do you really think their just famous for just their music? I mean, their music is phenomenal, but it helps their fame that they’re good looking and have amazing accents. Harry Potter too has a British accent. That is one of my favorite movie series and one of the reasons why it is, is because of their accents. British accents just make me so happy.

If you think of the negatives for British accents you could name a lot too. Like the fact that if I was British, I would probably think American accents were cool. Everyone talks different, but in the end, everyone really has an accent that suits themselves as a person. I hope one day I will meet a very sweet person with a British accent just so when I’m down their voice can cheer me up. 

Dear Mr. Paul Higgin's

Author's Note: For my writing circle topic my group came up with the idea, complaining. I have wrote plenty of other One Direction pieces and this piece is me writing a letter to the One Directions manager Paul Higgins.

Dear Mr. Paul Higgins,
   
    Hi, my name is Skyler Bohn and I live in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. I am a true directioner and am very upset for the fact that One Direction has not came to Wisconsin yet. I don’t understand why they go to Chicago then skip over Wisconsin and go to Minnesota. If you haven’t realized, One Direction has already been to Minnesota and Chicago. They have never gone to Wisconsin and we have a ton of directioners here! We, as directioners, are so in love with One Direction here in WIsconsin. We would travel to other states to see these five beautiful and talented boys, but it’s different if they just come to Wisconsin because we want a chance for every Wisconsin directioner to see the boys too.

    My life is One Direction and I spend every day wishing and hoping that someday they will come here to Wisconsin and that I get a chance to meet them. A lot of people probably send you letters saying how much they want you to come where they live, but Wisconsin is different. I don’t know if you know this, but we host one of the biggest music festivals in the U.S. This festival is called Summerfest. People that have came here in the past are, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Nicki Manaj, Wiz Khalifa, Big Time Rush, Kelly Clarkson, Train, and many more. It would be fantastic is in the future we could be able to say that One Direction came to Summerfest. It is during the summer, usually around June or July.

    How come One Direction are going to California and Florida so much? They’re lucky enough to see them once, but when they have a chance to see them twice plus it’s not fair. One Direction has other fans in other states where we don’t even get to see them. It just doesn’t seem right. I know you might be thinking I’m being a little selfish, but I just love One Direction so much and would do anything for them to come to Wisconsin. Please think about what I said and hopefully you except coming to Wisconsin in the future. xx

Love Has No Meaning

Author's Note: Love, one of the most confusing things in life. In writing circles we decided to write about love. I for one do not believe there is one way to describe love. I hope you enjoy my piece.

Love, it's only four letters, but means the world to someone. It doesn't have one meaning though, it has  a thousand. Every day, every waking minute, you never let go of what you love. Whether it's a boy or  girl, family or friends, love is love and it's always there. Love won't come right away though; it takes time  for you to grow this feeling for someone. You can love things other than people though too. Like I said,  "Love is love, it has a thousand meanings."

 L is for living, if I couldn't live this life you couldn't  be mine.

O is for obstacles, you have your whole life to find who you love. It's not easy.

V is for value, love is priceless

E is for excitement, it's exciting to fall in love.

A Dream That Could Only Last Forever

 Author's Note: My writing circle wrote about dreams that we had/wish we could have. My writing was about me meeting One Direction. In my last piece I wrote about One Direction, so if you have any questions about the band, One Direction, read my last piece.

I couldn’t believe the sight right in front of my eyes. This was the moment I have been waiting for my whole life. Right in front of me was the five most gorgeous guys that have ever walked this earth, the five most talented boys, the five most perfect boys. These five boys were One Direction.

As the line got shorter and the time kept ticking, my legs were sore from standing; not even pain would stop me from meeting One Direction. The line moved farther and only three more people until I would meet the boys. Suddenly, I started to shake seeing the boys in person was nerve racking. I walked up to the table where the boys were sitting. The first boy was Liam, I smiled at him and asked him to sign a CD. I told him his girlfriend was lucky to have a nice guy like him. He said thank you. Okay, one boy done, four more to meet. Next was Louis. I suddenly started to shake seeing Niall two seat down from him. Louis looked up at me. “Are you going to say anything love?” he said in his cute British accent. I blushed noticing I was staring off in space. “Sorry Louis, I just love you.” he smiled and signed my CD. “Have a nice day!” I waved bye to him. When I walked over to Zayn he and Niall were talking. Niall spoke very loud and spoke to Zayn saying, “You see that beautiful blonde over there?” Zayn shook his head yes as he glanced at me. Niall continued talking, “I’m going to marry her one day.” I smiled and slowly walked up to him. Words could barely come out of my mouth. He started to talk and took the CD I wanted him to sign from me. He was saying how beautiful he thought I was then asked for my name. I responded by saying my name was Skyler. He walked closer to me and suddenly.....”Time to get up Sky! Schools about to start!” I slowly woke up as I looked around my room. I smiled at myself. What a wonderful dream.

One Band

Author's Note: In this world people obsess with TV shows, sports, and plenty more things. I have gained obsession with a band named One Direction and nothing can break this love I have for them. I will probably never meet them, but I will still love them for their music and personalities. In writing circles my group has decided to write about One Direction so I hope you enjoy my short story on One Direction.

 When you hear the words carrot, superman, or even the name Mary, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?  You will probably think of something really weird, but don’t worry, you’re not completely wrong. These interesting words explain my role models, Louis, Liam, Zayn, Harry, and Niall. Even though all these boys are extremely weird and immature I still will always look up to them from the start to the very end. Who are these people you might ask? They are in the band called One Direction. This band was made on July 23th, of 2010. All of the boys tried out solo on a British show called, The X Factor, which is like American Idol or America’s Got Talent. All of them made it the first week, but didn’t make it all the way to the end. Simon Cowell, came up with a brilliant idea to make a boy and girl band. He took Liam, Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Harry and made them into a boy band. The rest was history.
