Original Poetry by Zac My love for you consumes me Your love for him destroys me  I see the way you look at him the lights in my eyes dim And my heart breaks when he hits you Cuz I know I’d die without you He doesn’t look at you like I do I’d hurt him if I had the chance Cuz he won’t give you a second glance You’re lying in your tears And I’m swallowed by my fears I want to tell you how I feel I'd give my soul away If only you would stay Now I slowly die as you weep and cry You wish for him to love you I long for you to see me But you never will and you’ll never care all you want is him But he doesn’t love you And it kills me

In sp ir at io na l D an ce r  Allison Becker is a very inspirational dancer she competed on So You Think You Can Dance. When she was 16 months old she got diagnosed with Spinal Meningitis, the doctor told her family she would either go deaf, blind or she would die. Allison Becker was very lucky to only go deaf she has been hearing impaired for her whole life, but that didn’t stop her from doing what she loves to do. Allison Becker is a very good dancer in contempary and ballet, she might not hear the music and the words to follow but she can feel the music. Allison Becker always got told she wouldn’t be able to dance well if she couldn’t hear the music, Allison Becker proved everybody wrong. I myself as a dancer looks up to her for the person she knew she was and even if everybody labeled her she showed what she was worth. <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'rage italic'; font-size: 27px; text-align: center;">By: Alexander

Hunger Games I read this book about a year ago. It was boring in the beginning, but as I got through the book it started getting interesting. I liked the part when they went to the battlefield like thing and started battling each other. They were killing each other for the number one spot. I think the book was very good and I recommend this book to any one who likes battle and adventure books.

Summer! Summer is almost here and those who are going to graduate might not have something to do with their spare time. Some activities you can do is volleyball, basketball, going to the West Valley Family Fitness Center, the boys and girls club, and a whole bunch of other things. Just don’t be bored for too long because we all know what happens when we’re bored! Edgar CURTIS - COLD

I’m cold five feet deep the blood is starting to seep out my eye so I guess this is what it means to cry I’m in a death race so I try to keep a slow pace I’m not in the right place of mind so this must be a sign I’m going crazy call it rabies I’m insane in the brain fear left a big stain on my heart has it been stopped or did it just start am I dying or already dead been living off water and bread right now I got the feeling of dread been messin with the peeps heads I can see death so I guess I’m about to take my final breath I can finally rest this feeling is best my heart starts to rebeat it’s now like a repeat of the life I used to live I learned to give not take but for the sake of my family it’s time to get out the game now I’m just another ninja looking for a piece of fame maybe some fortune this my story of a person looking for glory.

DEAR A.R.T.E.C. Some of my favorite things to do are: Sleeping, hanging out with friends, going swimming, going shopping, going to the movies, doing my hair and make-up. The reason why I love these things are because; I love looking good for when I go out into public and for myself. I enjoy going shopping, because I love to spend money. By: Desly

My favorite football team is the San Francisco 49ers. I’ve liked them all my life, because that was my dad’s team. When I was little I went to a 49ers game. I was so young I don’t remember it though. I also like them, because of their colors. They are red and gold. My player on the team is Frank Gore. He plays the fullback position and his number is 21. I also like the old players that they had like Steve Young, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Terrell Owens.

Lakers vs. Thunder So far the L.A. Lakers have been struggling on the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In one of the games L.A. had lost by 30 points. The 5/16/12 game they had also lost it was lost by 2 points, it’s been tough for the Lakers. I prefer the Thunder, because I hate the L.A. Haha Lakers in your face, just admit you guys won’t take it this season. ;)

There is this movie I watched it is called Vampire Kisses. It was horrible. I did not like it. It was rated R. It is a very old movie. I do not recommend you watch it. I had to fast forward through it because it was so boring. It is about a man who sleeps with all these women. One of the women turns out to be a vampire. She bites him, he becomes a vampire and every night she comes to feed on him. In the end he dies. It was so pathetic.

Movie Review Well I just watched __The Time Travelers Wife__ and it was a very cute, but sad movie. It did a very good job and confusing the heck out of me. It was about this guy and when he was just a little tike his mom got in a wreck and he just dissolved and found out that he is a time traveler by the future him. After that he had a connection with this girl and whenever he would travel he would travel to her. Eventually they reunited she saw him and remembered him, but he had no idea who she was, she explained in to him and he eventually figured it out. After that day he could just remember everything, it bugged me, but it was still a very good movie. I think that everyone should watch it, all the way through. By: Destiny



SPOR TS REV IEW. The La Clippers won their first playoff game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon. Therefore, they are now playing San Antonio Spurs and I hope they get far into the Playoffs this year. My favorite player is Blake Griffin, because he can pretty much dunk over anyone in the N.B.A. and he is just a BOSS. GO CLIPPERS! By Isaiah A L



Music review Brenda’s Got A Baby By Tupac. Is one of my favorite songs by Tupac, because it’s so real. I wish Tupac was still alive he’s way sick! I think Biggie is better, but Tupac is right up next to him. I heard that Tupac was in ballet. That’s awkward for someone who has thug life tatted on his chest lol. He’s still one of my favorites.

Call of Duty



Call of Duty is the game of the month every body started to be addicted to this game. It was nothing and it started to be the all star game of the year. People started to play it when it first came out and they said that it was the most awesome game ever. People gave it a rating of a five. The game is about being on teams.

By AJ

It’s so cold in this world, Shivers from head to toe Trying to survive, with all these feelings running wild,

Holding my temper, which is running low Fighting my tears, learning to hold them in

screaming for help seeking in all these emotions wondering which one is real

needing help with my problems, but doing them all on my own hoping things will get better stealing some faith

slowly but surly putting a smile on my face, no more fake smiles it’s all so real now

this world has always been so cold, nothing will ever change I’ve learned to cope with it Cause I know nothing will ever change

This is how God made things, Putting a challenge in our brain Maybe one day things will be different And life will be easier

We all have our issues in life Even though mine seem the worst Knowing there are others out there With a way worse life

All I can do now is Put a smile on my face Even though things won’t ever get better All we can do is pretend.
