TIFFANY: I already told you, your dad was there for me. He watched out for me, he was the one that got me out of bed and sometimes he was the only that could make me smile. And my mom, she never wavered. She made sure that I didn’t lose my way. They were both my little miracles. LILY: You had an amazing mom. Tiffany: so what about that second chance? LILY: I think I’d like to give it a try…Fifi. [Nudges Tiffany] [Tiffany smiles and giggles] TIFFANY: Come on let’s go eat that chicken Alfredo. [Both exit] Vivian Renee Mendez – 11th Grade Mrs. Aileen Mares Twist of Fate A Native woodland tribe falls victim to a life threatening sickness. With the tribe short of people three young adults, Elki, Samuel, and Celeste, were given the tasks to retrieve materials vital for medicine, these of which only grew by rivers. Our story begins with the three walking towards a river to complete their tasks. Samuel: Why do we have to do this again? [silence] The sound of crackling twigs and the crushing of leaves fill the area. Samuel: Are we gone just gonna ignore me ? [The silence continues] Samuel: Hello? Celeste: Because the regulars are sick, I've told you this dozens of times already. Samuel: We don't need these plants we need more food, my father and I are expert bison hunters, we could feed the people for months, I should be out there with my father not here with you losers. Celeste: Must you always complain? Why can’t you think of the bigger picture ? Elki: The chief already assigned the others to hunt for food, we need more herbs for medicine, besides I happen to enjoy taking walks by the river looking for these plants. Samuel: Well yeah that's all you and your mother are good for. Elki: (Elki shows obvious anger in his tone) You really have the nerve to say that? Samuel: We wouldn’t be out here if it wasn’t for you two. Elki: (Aggressively) Just how shallow can you be? Samuel: It’s simple, the others eat their food with your herbs and get sick, now I’m out here stuck with you and the last option named Celeste.
