We were both fifteen, although Angela would be sixteen that February. It was such small things at first. In gym class she started to slow down. She used to be very good at volleyball, and was even thinking of joining the ...[Read Full Post] Fri, 19 Nov 2004 00:21:54 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/314815 Chapter 3: The Promise I wished I was Angela’s sister. We had always thought it would be nice if we both were sisters. Now I wanted it for a different reason. They wouldn’t let me see her. I had to be a relative. She only had one relative, who was there already. Angela’s aunt Francesca waited with me in the eme...[Read Full Post] Tue, 30 Nov 2004 00:15:25 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/314820 Chapter 4: The Chemo Blues Marissa “I wish I could say it’s good to have you back, Anjira.” Nikko said, pushing Angela in a wheelchair to her new room. I followed her along with Francesca and Kari, through the halls of the Oncology/Haematology ward. It was a long hall with rooms on both sides, a large central nur...[Read Full Post] Mon, 22 Nov 2004 23:19:00 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/315138 Chapter 5: Hikari’s Gift Marissa “Is that the 1,000 cranes?” I eagerly asked Kari later that week as she sat at her desk in our homeroom class, and lay row upon row of cranes down, that she took out from a big box beside her. “Are you kidding?” she demanded, rummaging in the box for more. “This ...[Read Full Post] Thu, 16 Dec 2004 16:55:56 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/317961 Chapter 6: A Lesson in Goodbye I could say that school was cancelled the next day. I didn’t think anyone was there. They all were at the funereal. The church was huge, and all the pews were filled with classmates, family, and friends of all different ages to Hikari Tanabata. There were even children. But not Tomoya. I wondered if he e...[Read Full Post] Sat, 05 Feb 2005 00:43:32 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/326538 Chapter 7: A teddy bear for Maria Marissa I couldn’t believe that where I was standing was where it had happened. It was just a highway road with a ditch dipping into a grassy field. The tree was nearby. It was strong tree, it wasn’t damaged in the least from the accident. The car accident that had taken the life of H...[Read Full Post] Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:51:07 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/335269 Marissa “Angie, I’ve got something for you.” I grinned, when I came into her room that day, holding a paper-back book behind my back. Angela was lying in her bed, looking very weak and tired. Her face was gaunt with dark circles under her eyes, and even her long hair looked thinner and drab. It was as if her illness had dr...[Read Full Post] Thu, 16 Jun 2005 19:51:47 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/353232 Marissa “Do I look like a gang member?” Angela asked. “Of course not.” I told her. “Angela, do you think I’m from a gang?” Adrian asked, wryly. “Oh my God, Adrian, I-I didn’t mean that!” Angela cried out, always so sensitive, and unable to catch on to sarcasm. Adrian sm...[Read Full Post] Tue, 20 Sep 2005 21:09:59 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/372779 Marissa I returned to school the next day with a heavy heart and as far as I knew Angela returned to the oncology floor. Everybody asked me why I hadn’t brought Angela to school with me, and I had to tell them the bad news. Not that she would have come to class with me anyway. She was too exhausted for anything like that, and now she ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 20 Sep 2005 21:15:18 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/374280 Chapter 11: To achieve the impossible Marissa I brought Brian to the hospital to meet Angela that night. She’d been bugging me to meet him, and now even he wanted to meet the seriously ill, but inspirational girl I’d always told him about. I told him he’d have to deal with Maria’s nonsense, and that ...[Read Full Post] Mon, 03 Oct 2005 01:19:38 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/376933 Angela Angela wearily returned from an IV chemo session with nurse Nikko helping her walk. She was tired, and felt sick and just wanted to lie down as she made her way to her inviting hospital bed. But there was something very different about the familiar little room. All the children seemed upset about something, and Angela had no idea why...[Read Full Post] Tue, 15 Nov 2005 10:51:58 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/378781
