School

Lately we have been working on our school musical about all the traditions people have during December. Such as Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Christmas. Tomorrow is the big day when we go to perform at the high school! We are also working on our new pod casts about math. We watched videos on a site called common craft, and are now in the process of creating them.

13th Hour

Illustrated by Anthony Davenport

Introduction
It all happened when the clock struck…..The thirteenth hour. A boy destined for glory was born at Heaven’s Pass Hospital. His name was Harriet. He had loving parents and a wonderful sister named Suzie. There was also a secret he had. He could not swim.
The age of this brilliant child is 10 years old. What had made him famous by the age of ten was the fact that he could solve the mystery of the vanishing horse. Where he found the horse was the family on Fourteenth Street who never liked the barterer at the Grey Mare. They knew that if the fourteenth family had been there, he could ask about the log the barterer keeps for all the visitors. It was in fact that the family on fourteenth street that had been there earlier that day.
Later that day Harriet Fairmount investigated the house and heard whinnying in the cellar. He went down to investigate and when he went down he saw a horse he took a picture, got out, and went back to the Grey Mare to show the picture to the barterer. It was in fact the trader’s horse. The police were sent to investigate after the trader called them. Harriet got the fame, the barterer got his horse, and the family on fourteenth street found their spot….in jail.
After the case of the vanishing horse he moved on to bigger and better things. Eventually the town of Chrysanthemum knew him well. His mom feared for his safety so she moved to the town of Saint Paul. It was a different place of what he knew so he had to learn to adapt. By the time he was twelve he was back on his feet. He had many friends, and everyone there appreciated him because of the work he did for them. He missed his old town but he learned to like the new town.
In his new town he had a little problem. There was a stalker after him. He had emails every night from him but Harriet was a gifted computer wiz. Every night Harry would email the stalker telling him to stop but he wouldn’t. What really shocked Harriet was that the stalker was a master jewel thief trying to offer Harriet a part in the roll of the theft. He said that he would hide and when the police came he would hide and the police would believe the boy when he said he was expecting a robbery here. Harriet immediately said no.
The thing is…. The robber had no idea what the boys real name was. He never told anyone his real name. His mom was okay with this because she knew that the boy was only twelve and did not want to be harassed. So they had the police make a fake file for the boy. “My real name is …. “Crash! All of a sudden Harriet was jumped by someone on his way home. It was… The Stalker!
When Harriet woke up he realized it was just a dream. He got up got a glass of water and went back to bed. In the morning he was talking with the stalker and the stalker attached a you tube clip that showed where he was taping at. When Harriet got there he found a note that said,” I have left a clue somewhere in the house to help you find me, but I tell you it won’t be easy.” In the abandoned house he checked everywhere! He finally found it on his way to the kitchen. There was a note written in pen. It clearly stated the name…. Fourteenth Street! Harriet immediately noticed and told the police about the jailbreak. That night when he got his daily stalker email he noticed another attachment that was a photo of the number 14 garage in Sal’s warehouse emporium.
In the garage there was a picture with a caption that said sidekick. It looked like the woman from the family on Fourteenth Street. There was also a name of a secret organization that the police were working on trying to catch. The name was Akatsuki. There were fourteen members and when Harriet looked closely he saw the man in the 14 outfit and it was the man from Fourteenth Street!
Their clothes were black robes and red clouds. The Leaders name was Pain. He was a frightening man that had several piercings. The guild is known to the authorities as the thieves’ guild. After long and hard thinking he remembered an abandoned warehouse that he had seen with the lights on. He decided to check it out, when he got there he heard some people saying strange words.
He looked over quickly and then hurried his head back and there was a man standing on the rafters. He said, “Hi I’m Kisame.” In a sarcastic voice Harriet said, “Hi moron, I’m Snoop dog!” All of a sudden Chuck Norris punched a hole in an unsteady wall and flew through it. It turns out he was a prisoner that was trying to help everyone else out of there. When Chuck walked in it alerted all of the Akatsuki. The man from Fourteenth Street was Pain.
When he turned around Chuck Norris was staring at him. Then he yelled, “We have a score to settle!” All of the hostages came running out of the wall the instant he said that. Pain was feared and respected as the guild leader because of his intellect and strength. Also there is another reason he is feared everywhere. He has a book called “How to use Sharingan”.
The book teaches anyone how to see what a person is going to do and allows you to copy that ability. It was a strange power that few knew about. Even fewer know how to use it. That is how he always knew what to do in a situation. That is also why he is the leader of the guild. He has never been hurt because he can sense the actions of other people before they act.
It was a long fight between Chuck and pain. First they had a staring contest and Chuck won. Next they had an all on out brawl, and Chuck won again because he found a counter for Sharingan. Don’t look into his eyes! Chuck Norris won both of the contests but Pain didn’t give up. He used a cheap shot, but it didn’t hit Chuck because he was focusing all his power into his head and saw his spirit animal. His spirit animal said, “I believe in you Simba.”
The fight lasted what seemed to be 4 days. Turns out it was actually 5! Chuck Norris was blindfolded through the fight and Pain was trying to use cheap shots. Mufasa was guiding Chuck through the fight and Chuck thought he won but then he heard people above him they dropped a chandelier on him and he was gasping for air. Harriet yelled, “Chuck, Noooo.” With his last breath he said, “Good Luck.”
Harriet sat up in bed sweating and screaming. It was another dream that had seemed like reality. Harriet got up and decided to have some coffee. During his coffee break he read the paper and saw an article about a new group of thieves. There was no information except that there was a note left at the crime scene. It didn’t say anything that was readable.
When he read a smaller article about a minor theft he saw something that just seemed to flicker in his head. It was something that said the words, “A young mother and daughter were murdered at the crime scene. He looked at the photo closely and saw his mother and sister. The police visited Harriet’s house and addressed him by his real name. The police chief said, “Your mother and sister were murdered Austin Fairmount.” Austin tried to wake himself up but this was no nightmare, it was real.
His foster family was a nice family that treated him with respect. He missed his mother and sister a lot. Austin spent most of his time in his room typing to the stalker. At the school he started to attend, he had many friends. He asked them for their help in catching the stalker.
By the time he got his next stalker mail, he had three groups of people. Group one tracers, group two feed blockers, and the third group the mailers. The next email said that if Austin didn’t agree to working with the thieves he would be killed like his mother and sister. Austin had no choice but to accept but had no intentions on staying quiet about the guild. Every day he learned more and more about the guild.
By the time he had been to the guild hall 4 times he knew who started it, how it was formed, all the people in the guild, and had been allowed to the stash. Austin turned the guild in to the police and everyone was caught. He went down in history as the greatest boy to ever live. Austin also learned to love his new foster family.
