It was the day before the Fourth of July, the hot sun was boiling down on us. People were setting up for the fireworks celebration tomarrow night. I have planned on going to this event with my friends Toby, Cassie, Ellie, and Ethan.
We were all excited for this, however, we weren't exactly happy about Alyssa coming all the way from Bellfountaine, Ohio just to spoil our fun. The last time any of us saw her was when she was getting expelled for too many school fights. No one liked her. The town is full of laughter, fun, and happiness. The place is estatic! The streets are covered in the brilliant colors of red, white, and blue. Everyone was jubilent. At my house we had decorations everywhere. We were even planning a Fourth of July dinner for the whole family. My brother was planning on wearing the three American Flag colors to his friend's house.
Today is the day! The whole town is planning on arriving at the square for the celebration. I'm so excited. Only, there is a chance of thunderstorms tonight. Everyone really hopes it doesn't ruin the night because if it does then there will be no fireworks or games. Alyssa will be coming soon. All my friends and I are at my house getting ready for the celebration except Cassie. We don't know where she is. The weather is great right now, and everyone is setting up in town square.
It's about twenty minutes until the celebration and we still have no idea where Cassie is. We called her house and cellphone many times and there is no answer.
Well it is time to go to the party.
This is amazing! People everywhere are so happy and children are smiling! I had just gotten a phone call from Cassie's mom. She is in the hospital. A car had hit her on her bike ride to my house. We all want to go see her, but if we go to see her then we can't enjoy the celebration. This is a tough decision. My friends want to see her and be at the party at the same time.
It's been forty-five minutes since we found out the news. We have decided to stay at they party for an hour then go and see Cassie.
Our time was up and now we are on our way. Ethan had to stay behind though, because of his little sisters. I wondered what she would look like when we got there. Just the thought of it made me cry. The sky was dark, and the rain was drizzling on the car door window. This is going to be hard. Ethan and Ellie are upset too about this horrible event.
As we walked into the door we saw the lobby and sat down. My mother went up to the desk and asked if we could see Cassie. As they led us through the door we saw her lying in her bed looking very tired. We all cried, even Cassie. Today wasn't the worst day. We got a chance to go to the party, and we still all got to be together. This is a Fourth of July I will never forget.

That was a very good story.
this was a very good story!
But whatever happened to alyssa?
After reading your story i was dumbfounded! I was a little confused about if it was Alyssa that hit her or if her character played a role( other than ruining the night). I also thought you should have gone first a friend is a friend!!!!!! But that is what i would have done, but i did like the story.
it is an all-around good story. but it did confuse me a bit. whatever happened to the mean girl no one liked? and i find it highly unusual for anyone 2 choose a party over seeing your friend in the hospital. i think that's kind of a "no-brainer" decision. but i did like the concept
The story had good description.
One of the paragraphs should have been split into two. There was enough information to paint a picture in my mind, which is good. But one thing I question myself is why you would rather watch the poor fireworks than see your friend in the hospital?
