Barry took another copy of the page, “I’ll read it with you.” “Yes, Cole?” He asked me, indicating that he had begun the audition. “They used to hang people here.” I kept my voice low as if a little hesitant to answer the question. “That’s not correct. Where’d you hear that?” "They'd pull the people in crying and kissing their families bye... People watching would spit at them." I answered in a somber tone. "Cole, this was a legal courthouse. Laws were passed here. Some…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

It was in the evening that I got some very good news. News, that immediately made me forget about the troubles of the school day, be it my best friend, my classmates, or the media problem. All paled in comparison to what Steve told me. “Is it true? You aren’t joking, right?” I asked again excitedly. Steve chuckled at my enthusiasm, “You remember my friend Barry Mendel? We met at Sundance in January?” I nodded enthusiastically, “Yes. He was the one who is around your age but has those…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

I woke up Monday morning with a huge yawn and stretched my body lazily getting out all the kinks. That weekend was a crazy one. After spending Saturday at Universal Studios with Evan's family, my parents came home on Sunday and decided to have a dinner outing. They invited the Spaders as well, as a thank you for taking care of me during the weekend. Together we went out to this amazing Indian restaurant. The music and the ambiance were great and they played a very upbeat tune in Hindi and encouraged the…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

“Maintain your note for ten seconds, then give a pause for five then continue with next. Start with C, then C-sharp, D, D-sharp, and so on till you reach F-sharp.” Mr. Tanner instructed. I cleared my throat for good measure and began my practice. Practicing vocals with a coach was so much different from working alone. My previous coach didn’t have much experience with singing herself. She covered the basics of notes and voice pitch well enough but after that, even I with my limited experience…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

“You want to buy shares of Yahoo?” Steve asked in confirmation. I nodded, “Yes, it is an emerging stock in the current market and is soon expected to enter the Fortune 500 companies. It provides excellent solutions to people searching for things on the Internet. Last year, they introduced their free email service to everyone with internet access with near-instant messaging. So I feel that their future prospects are good as young people want to work more with computers and the internet than with…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

I was walking from the Immigration zone towards the waiting area, dragging my red suitcase, my eyes taking in every face looking for two particular ones that I wanted to see more than anything else at the moment.“Troy!”I turned my head towards the familiar voice. Standing right there were Steve and Kathy. I picked up my pace as I almost ran towards the couple, balancing the suitcase carefully. As soon as I reached them, Kathy opened her arms for a hug and I literally rammed into her and hugged her for…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

Moving to L.A. was hectic. To start things off, we had to complete my official adoption and file the papers with the authorities. I decided to keep my original name, Troy Francis Armitage to honor my late father Frank Armitage. Then we had to get a passport and visa for me. As Steve was a US citizen, it wasn’t too difficult to get a visa. At one point, Steve suggested that I give up my British citizenship and become a full-fledged American, but I was hesitant. Thankfully, Kathy…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

Steve had shut the book and was looking at me with sad eyes.“Is everything alright?” I asked cautiously.Steve sighed and put the book down but didn’t say anything. I didn’t ask again. Even if he knows that I am more mature than others, I am still a kid for him. So I waited patiently. If he was interested in sharing his story, I’ll always lend him an ear, if not…After a few minutes of silence, he said, “I can’t write anything. All my ideas feel like crap when I put them on paper. I tried and…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

My case worker left after accompanying me inside the house that was situated in Greenwich. It was a modest two story house in a quiet neighborhood. My room was on the second floor with a bed, a desk and a closet. Nice enough for my current requirements. “You like it, kid?” A male voice came from the door. I turned and saw my new guardian Steve leaning against the door. Now that I take in his appearance properly, he was a man on the chubbier side with a resting bitch face. Yeah, the…- 963.2 K • Ongoing

I walked slowly in trepidation as our little apartment got closer. It was a 3-bedroom apartment that, thankfully, my father had bought in cash before his death or we’d probably have to move to a smaller home by now. I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen today. It usually does when I have a superb day at school. Yes, I was still going to elementary school. I won’t risk my education because of some bad parenting. I know that I don’t need school (at least not elementary school) with the…- 963.2 K • Ongoing
