Fiction On Odyssey: The Danger Of The Red Coats

Our president, Max, was late to the Red Coat Meeting. Once again I, the vice president, had to take over. I had to go into his messy, red office and get the templates, ideas and design books.

Sam was a very irresponsible person all the time, but he always got what he wanted. In our senior year of high school, he got into Collegiate (now known as Yale University). He had awful grades too. Yale was founded in 1701 in the colony on Connecticut. It was the first scholarship fund in the colonies. It became a scholarship funded in 1732. In 1757, they were the first college to build a church on campus. While he was at Yale making history, I was a straight-A student at the University of Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1749 with Benjamin Franklin named president.

I finally made it to the meeting room. I was still thinking about how Sam was the richest person on the face of Earth. I know he does not mean to, but he always gets my dream. Being president of the Red Coat Company was my number one dream. Also, every time I get an astonishing idea, he takes credit for it.

After about 30 minutes of me taking over, Max, the president, finally shows up. Today we all had to state our new ideas for the Red Coat Company, and I remembered that in the last meeting I suggested red coats in the uniform.

Exactly 10 minutes later, Joan, the secretary, came in yelling, "Get out! Get out! The red coats are coming! The red coats are coming!" we all ran for our lives.

The last time I heard about the Red Coats was twenty minutes ago at the meeting. It was Don's idea. He was reinforcing my idea to Max.

I was unconscious for two days… I think. I woke up. The gun sounds had stopped, and it looked like everyone around me was dead. The only people alive were the guards waling around. They were picking up the dead people. The buildings were all demolished into pieces. Then, I noticed the people on both sides of me. They were Max and Joan. Both of them were dead. I was sad on the outside, but the inside of me was full of joy. If I opened the Red Coat Company again, I could be president! However then I saw a guard come up to me, he was wearing a Red Coat. He also looked very familiar. It took me a few seconds to recognize him, but then I saw it. It was from Don. I always had a suspension for that guy and now I know why. I got up and started to run, but I suddenly heard a bullet trigger. Then I heard a bang, bang, bang from behind me. The room started to get darker, and darker. I could not feel anything.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
