Tiana's Scar by Maria Kane
When she was five years old, Tiana was bitten by Rex, her uncle's dog. The bite left a small
scar on Tiana's finger.
Now 11, Tiana still avoids dogs wherever she goes. Every morning, Tiana walks an extra
block to school to avoid walking by her neighbor's dog, Millie. Millie lies quietly behind a
locked gate and doesn't bark much, but Tiana insists on avoiding the dog at all costs.
When her best friend, Kim, laughed at Tiana's extra hike one morning, Tiana exclaimed,
"I don't care what you think! Passing a ferocious beast is not how I want to start my day.”
"OK, calm down, Tiana," Kim responded as Tiana rushed away angrily.

The Note

All Rhonda wanted to do after she got Tracy's note was to barricade herself in somewhere, and tiny little Appleton Library seemed as good a place as any. She brought a few schoolbooks with her and a sci-fi novel in case she just wanted to lose herself. But as she sat in the downstairs cubicle, all she could do was read Tracy's note over and over:

Rhonda,

I won't be going to leadership camp with you after all over Spring Break. My aunt offered to take me on a trip to Costa Rica, and I couldn't pass it up. Sorry. Hope you have fun!

Your friend,

Tracy

As Rhonda read over those last words, she felt a sob well up in her throat. She and her best friend Tracy had been planning their 10 days at leadership camp for months—how they would be roommates, go to classes, and study together. And now "sorry" is all she had to say? Rhonda fought back the tears, but it was of no use. Suddenly, she felt lonelier than she had ever been in her life.

Passage 2

No Take Backs

Not four feet separated us

when you spoke those fatal words,

the corners of your mouth quivering

I wanted to snatch them from the air,

make you take them back,

and return to a time

when every word you uttered

rang clear and pure and true

But the great ticking clock

that marks our minutes and hours

plods relentlessly forward

And there are no take backs

"By God," the Green Knight said, "I am glad
That I shall have from your hand what I asked for here,
And that you have repeated fully, in your own words,
The whole of the covenant I asked of the King:
Only now you must swear to me, upon your word,
That you will expect, for yourself, wherever you manage
To find me on earth, to be repaid in kind
For what you accord me today before this high company."

Caring for Coral Reefs
Zachary Felton

Coral reefs are amazing underwater worlds. They cover about 186,000 square miles of ocean floor. They mostly exist in the warmest parts of the world. This is because coral reefs develop in shallow, warm water, usually near Land and mostly in the tropics. Coral reefs prefer temperatures between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why they are found off the coasts of Africa, India, Australia, and Brazil Coral reefs closest to us are found off the coast of Florida.
