<!--?Are you coming tonight?? I questioned to my friend Sean over the pho=
ne. ?Yeah, yeah. I?ll be there with the pizza soon. I sat down on the cushy=
couch and turned on the TV. I scrolled all the way down to netflix and cli=
cked on it. I turned on my favorite show that was called icarly. A few minu=
tes later I got a call from Sean. ?Hey Parker! I am stranded out in the des=
ert so can you please come help me?!
I am so sc-a-rrrrr-eee-d.? He was cutting out and I could not hear him. I g=
ot up off the couch immediately, forgetting to turn off the TV, and mom hat=
ed when I did that. We could talk about the desert. We could talk about the=
rhinos. We could talk about the lions. We could talk about why two men wer=
e wandering around in the middle of a vast, empty,scorching hot desert. We =
could talk about anything. But that's not why I am here with you right now.=
I am here to talk about how they got lost. How, you ask? You?ll find out. =
I shook the dust out of my boot and continued on the trail. Sean was follow=
ing right behind me. I stopped, and took a look around at the empty, dirty =
desert that we were in. I threw my backpack onto the ground making tons of =
dust fly up in my face. So much dust got up my nose and got in my eyes. I f=
elt like I was blind so I grabbed a bottle of water from my blue and red ba=
ckpack. I flushed my eyes with the cool water and realized that I was out o=
f water. My mouth felt as dry as when you have a whopper in your mouth. I y=
elled back to Sean and told him that we needed to head west. West was the c=
losest place near water. It was a long two mile walk, but we finally got th=
ere. I watched and glared at the beautiful gazelles drinking the water. I w=
as about to fill my bottle with fresh water but I noticed some movement in =
the water. It was heading towards a cErtain gazelle and the first thought t=
hat came to my mind was ?gator.?
?R-r-run.? I cautioned Sean. We got out of the place quickly but luckily I =
filled my water up. I tried not to look back at the sight of the scene. My =
body took over and I just looked. And there it was. Predator against prey. =
All that I saw was blood and a splash into the water.=20
Then, there was silence. Nothing but a few bubbles came up from the water. =
And then, a sight so terrible floated to the surface. The carcass of a dead=
gazelle. We ran as fast as we could before we saw any other bad things. I =
caught up to Sean and told him that we needed to find shelter because it wa=
s going to rain pretty soon. We climbed up the nearest tree and laid in one=
on one of the branches. I caught my breath and took a sip of water. ?How a=
re we ever going to make it out of here?? I stressed at Sean. ?I don?t know=
, Parker.? Sean stammered.=20
We hopped down after the big thunderstorm passed and set up a fire. We went=
out hunting and finally found some deer. Ready. Aim. Fire. The bullet hit =
the deer right in the neck and knocked it down. We ran over to the deer and=
Sean took out his knife and cut it open. I hated to look at blood so I ave=
rted my eyes and could only hear the tearing of the knife going through the=
deer. It?s not the best sound in the whole world. Once he had cut out the =
chunk, we headed back to camp and put it over the fire. ONce the big chunk =
of deer was cooked, we ate. I would have rather eaten an alligator because =
having the thought of me eating deer was very unpleasant. The deer tasted r=
ich and earthy like a dark chocolate lava cake with some mint resting on th=
e top of it. AFter we were finished eating we went to bed up in the tree. I=
laid on a big branch and Sean laid on a smaller one. I fell asleep around =
10:30 and was out. I was so tired from all the stuff we had been doing all =
day. I was awakened by the loud sound of monkeys screaming.I looked down an=
d of course, there was a lion. We forgot to throw out food scraps far away =
from us so no animal got it. I hopped down from the tree and slowly walked =
away. ?Crack crunch snap? I stepped on a stick and it made a really loud no=
ise. THe lion came running after us and we realized we needed to run. I ran=
as fast as I could and tried to find a cave or something like that. I look=
ed back to see if the lion was there, and I tripped over a big rock. I land=
ed flat on my face and dried not to breath in the dust. I hated little bugs=
and sucking some into my mouth did not sound fun at all. I got up, looking=
through the long thick grass, seeing the lion approached me slowly. ?Boo!?=
Sean blurted , hitting me hard in the back.=20
?Hey! Don?t do that ever again!? I barked at him. The lion was getting clos=
er and closer and my only thought was that it was going to eat me and Sean.=
?D-d-don?t move a muscle.? Sean whispered. ?Why would I even think about m=
oving? If the lion hears us were dead.? I whipered back to him. We slowly a=
rmy craweld our wy out of there and checked for the lion. I looked all arou=
nd and then got dizzy so I sat down. I felt like I had to take some tylenol=
It was still only three o?clock in the morning so I decided to get some r=
est. I laid down, using some leaves as a unpleasent but a good enough pillo=
w. I fell asleep to the sound of birds chirping and was awaken by the sound=
of Sean snoring on me and drolling. His drool was warm and very sticky. I =
shook him of and yelled at him for drolling on
My new shirt that was actually a bit dirty, was now covered in Sean's warm =
sticky drool. I took off my shirt and grabbed a new one from my backpack I =
got dressed behind a tree and put on my new running shorts that my mom and =
dad got me for christmas. This was the year before me and Sean got stranded=
out in the desert. Now when I look back it felt like so long ago. Way to l=
ong ago.-->=20

Since his pals knew him, he looked at him like he was insane, but Mr. Chan=
realized that halves don't work when it comes to bullies. He had had the c=

it. He constructed the fence to the left of the house on his own, extending=
it to the end of the garden where vandals had damaged the old one, and aro=
