MEMORY SKETCHES

Shyanne I woke up to the sound of the door opening and closing. When I went downstairs the door was wide open and the first thing I could see was an ambulance with two paramedics rushing in and out of the house. Later I sat on the floor and played with toys as people rushed around me. My mother was crying and when I asked my grandma what happened she said my sister died and she began to cry.

Final Four Club Extremely humid day. The team was ranked number one in state. We were the underdogs. First half we were up 1-0 from own goal. Second half they quickly went up 2-1, I was unable to start second half because of the heat. We quickly tied it and made it 2-2. I celebrated, but was so exhausted I passed out. Two more goals. Over time. Etc.

Lost in Cancun

Went to Q’s 2 miles down the beach. Q found us by dumb luck. When I went to his condo it was breath-taking. I walked around and observed the more social life people had. It was all-inclusive and much nicer. I went to the bar and Q ordered 2 daquaris and gave me one. A man spoke Spanish to his coworker and I understood him talking about me not wearing a bracelet. I told Q these were for his parents (so he didn’t think I was taking advantage of their free drinks), and we were stopped. I was taken to the lobby with nothing but trunks on. Q went to the room for (a banana?) something. Guy asked if I spoke Spanish (in Spanish) I replied a little. And he took me outside and interrogated me in Spanish. On the walk back we walked barefoot on the blazing hot streets. Walked through another hotel and hid from others in fear of being questioned. Felt like james bond. Meanwhile louie had no way to contact me. I was scarred id be arrested my first full day in cancun under louie’s parents’ supervision.
