I woke up to hear Chloe scream as I woke up from a deep sleep. She looked frightened. The car was spinning out of control on black ice. It was freezing outside. Finally, Chloe bumped into a car at 50 miles per hour, and the car flipped on its side. Jeremy was sitting in the front seat with her, and flew through the windsheild. He wasn't wearing a seat belt. McKenna was just the opposite. Her seat belt was twisted at the neck and she could barely breathe, strangeling herself. Chloe was unconscious. I gently undid McKenna's seatbelt and reached for the phone and dialed 911.
"911 emergency" said the calm lady on the phone. "I'm in a fatal car accident and I need the EMS here right now!" I said, panicking. "My friend flew through the windsheild, my other friend is unconscious, and the other is unconscious, too." There was a pause. "Help is on the way." She said.
In minutes, the EMS found where we were, and we were immediately rushed to the nearest hospital. There was nothing wrong with me, but Jeremy was bleeding all over. His breath was getting shorter now, and I was getting scared. McKenna was worse. She wasn't breathing at all anymore. They had tried everything. McKenna was gone. Poor little girl, only fourteen. She was my first and only girlfriend. I was fifteen.
Jeremy was slightly still alive, but he was running out of life and breath. I couldn't talk to him; I didn't think he'd respond. Jeremy was an awesome friend, drum player, and classmate. To be right there in his final moments would be depressing. He was only fifteen, like me.
Chloe was breathing perfectly, I was just waiting for her to wake up.
Just then Jeremy breathed his last and died. There was nothing we could do. Both McKenna and Jeremy died. Death can't control itself. It just happens.

The Interstate Chapter 1
CHLOE
~~~~~
I remember getting a superior rating at the state for band. Washington Hills High is on top again! I know for sure we will rate high next year, being a high school junior. I excel in the flute. Some people may call band members geeks, but HELLO, it is so fun! I honestly don't care what they think. I may wear glasses. But they're stylish. I might have braces. But i'm getting Invisalign next year! I am confident, and those insecure mean girls aren't.
We were on our way back from the best state competition since my freshman year. We were all so proud of ourselves, and cheering! "Oh my gosh, Chloe, can you believe how great we were? Good job on the flute solo!" Cried McKenna, my best friend since we were six months old. She was so pretty, with dark brown hair and straight teeth with contacts and pink highlights. "Awesomeness!" Said Jeremy, my boyfriend. Johnathan, McKenna's boyfriend, was silent. He was always that way. "Johnathan, why are you always so quiet?" I asked. Johnathan shrugged. Of course, again, he didn't know.
I drove a few more miles with silence, then my phone rang. "Hello?" I answered after the second ring. "Hey, Chloe. Tell me how state was." It was my friend Isabel. "It was good. Awesome rating."
"No."
"Yes!"
"Great. See, I told you it would be fine!" Isabel said. "Izzy, I almost messed up on my solo. That was not alright!"
"Chlo---"
"It was horrible! It almost messed up the whole song!"
"Chloe, stop being so dramatic. You did good, I already know."
I sighed. "Okay, I did a little goo---OH MY GOSH, AHHH!"

The Interstate Prologue
This new blog book of mine, The Interstate, is about a devastating car crash on route 71. No, this story is not true, but it does have some reality to it, doesn't it?
Over 5,000 teenagers will die in a car accident this year. You may think getting your liscense is all hunky-dory, but is it? It is, if you take it seriously, and I mean VERY seriously. If you are willing to text while driving, you don't know what you're doing. If you're willing to talk on the phone while driving, you're not the brightest crayon in the box. If you're willing to listen to music and do your makeup, YOU'RE NUTS! Are you ready for your liscense? If you are thinking of doing that, you're not.
This is a story about four teens, Chloe, McKenna, Johnathan and Jeremy. They are all hanging out on their way back from a state band competition. It is late, midnight. They are very good students, and don't do anything bad. But one phone call is all it takes.

Ever thought about sanitizing these?
H1N1 started out as a sickness that only like, eleven people had. (AAACHOO!) Well now it's everywhere and I even know some people who had it now. So how can you keep yourself from getting sick? Are you at risk? What can you do if you get the swine? This is a guide you might want to print.
Sanitize these:
Sanitize these:
- Toilet Seat
- Tabletop or Desk
- Pens, pencils, anything you use for school
- YOUR HANDS!!!!
- Coffee mugs and glasses, cups
- Video game controllers, like Wiis, Play Stations, etc....
- Toilet handles
- Don't touch your eyes, mouth and nose
- Stay at least five feet away from people, sick or not
- Don't be all in someone's face even if you're mad
What to do if I, or someone i've been in contact with is sick:
- Wash your hands VERY often
- Stay at least five feet away from people
- Don't go to a whole bunch of activities, stay home until you know you are not sick
- Gargle salty water in your throat
Am I at risk? How am I?
- If you have asthma and other breathing problems
- If you have neurological problems like epilepsy and MS
- If you have been exposed to swine in less than a week ago
- If you are a baby or a senior (highly doubt that)
- If you don't wash your hands (I sure hope you do!)

my 100th post!
Hello everyone! This is my 100th post celebration! I remember the day I was on www.betheljamadventures.blogspot.com and thought, 'Hey, this looks so cool! I'm going to make my own blog!' I knew that my blog wouldn't be popular at first and people would hate it and all, so I didn't make a blog.
I started sending out emails to all the friends I could name, even people that weren't my friends. They were emails I'd use to send what I now call Weekly Questions. People started replying to me, and saying that I should make an actual blog full of these questions. So I made my very first.
The first blog was not successful. I was following myself, and couldn't make more than one post. I got rid of that one, which is still on the internet, but is not used.
The second one was where the 'magic' happened. I was able to post a whole bunch of posts, like the hundred I have today! I have ten followers at least and have written stories. I plan on writing another book for the Dayton Metro Library Teen Contest next year, The Interstate.
I began to find an interest in being an author, and boy is it fun! I can't wait to publish my books!
Enjoy my hundreth celebration!
