When Donovan and Keisha arrived to Mr. Java's science class, they immediately decided they would request to be lab partners for the semester. Keisha was always a student who knew what she wanted and how she would achieve her goals. She was known for being a "go-getter." Both Donovan and Keisha were honor students and well-behaved; they were the epitome of high-achieving students. Their hard work would certainly pay off by them being nominated for the science scholar program.
Throughout the semester, Donovan and Keisha successfully completed several science labs together. One day though, Donovan was absent. Normally, Keisha would not have been concerned about him not being in class, but today, their final lab assignment which was worth 300 points was due. This assignment would determine which students would surely clinch the nomination for the science scholar program, and Donovan had all of their work! What will happen to my grade? What about the nomination? Keisha nervously cried in her head. Students would not be allowed to turn in their assignments late. Mr. Java had been very clear about that. So Keisha had a choice to make: Would she take a risk of being disciplined for taking out her cell phone to call Donovan?
Keisha secured a hall pass and quickly ran into the girl's bathroom. She began to dial Donovan's number, the electronic notes of the dial pad piercing the silent air of the room. As the phone began to ring, she heard four loud knocks on the bathroom stall door—a teacher!
Moments later, Keisha found herself waiting in the principal's office, embarrassed and ashamed. Only rowdy, unruly kids end up in the principal's office, she thought. I'm not one of them! Principal Johnson was known for being a no-nonsense type of lady who never pitied disorderly behavior. Now Keisha had no assignment and the promise of disciplinary action—both of which would ruin her chances of being accepted into the science program.
As Keisha sat down in the dreaded examination chair behind the principal's closed door, Principal Johnson said, "I recognize you, young lady. But you're not a regular in my office. I know you from… the honor student banquet! What in the world are you doing here?"
Keisha's embarrassment melted into an outpouring of tears and frustration as she told her story. Principal Johnson listened calmly and then said, "As you've no doubt heard, Keisha, I'm not one for bending the rules. And using your cell phone at school is very much against the rules! But your passion for science, for school, and for the science scholar program leads me to believe that I should make an exception."
Keisha smiled with relief as Principal Johnson handed her a cell phone.
"Here, you can use mine. Just stay out of the bathroom!"




In the story, Keisha is described as a "go-getter." Which of these other students in the examples below would be a considered a "go-getter"?
A.
Kevin, who always arrives to class on time and usually passes his Language Arts quizzes
B.
Tiesha, who makes straight-As, is on the track team, and is drum major of the marching band
C.
Marcus, who hangs out with his friends after school on the days he doesn't have detention
D.
Finney, who likes to watch television and spends most of his time playing video games on the computer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine he leaves, so every day during the summer you go to the skate park and spend hours there just sitting at a table, journaling. You go every single day. The boys skating look at you weirdly because they don't know what you're doing.
You sit there alone, and sad. Just thinking about him. Making up scenarios of him coming back home all the time.
You start to draw your view of the skate park.
You add on each day. Sometimes you even cry, silently. Other times you stop writing to just watch the world.
Every now and then one of the boys walks up and tries to talk to you. You give brief and dry responses, not really wanting to talk to his former friends.
One day you go again and you're writing, but there is a different feeling.
Something just isn't quite the same.
You see a white pickup truck pull up and your heart feels like it just stopped beating, your stomach flips as you sit and stare.
Disbelief in your eyes, your jaw drops a little.
It's him.
You see him look at you from the driver seat and watch as he pulls into a parking space.
He gets out and the boys that had been skating, start to walk up to him.
But he's already seen you. Some of the boys have told him you go there a lot, so he knew where to find you.
He ignores the boys badgering him. He tells them to give him a minute.
He's on a direct path to you.
But all you can do is stare.
When he is ten feet away you realize what is happening.
You stand up and face him as he closes the gap in two long strides.
He pulls you into the tightest hug you have ever felt. This hug is different from the ones before, it's more urgent.
Like he needed this more than anything.
You slowly wrap your arms around him and you can feel him pressing his head against the top of yours.
You've missed him so much but you're still in shock. You feel like crying. This is all you have wanted for months and he's finally here.
Then you remember why you hadn't texted him, hadn't called him, or even sent him a letter. You pull away from the hug abruptly and you go to grab your things from the table at your back. Not saying a word.
He knows you too well, he knows something is wrong. What he doesn't know is that you can't explain it, not even to yourself.
So he just says "I missed you so much."
"I know," you say quietly.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"Nothing", you say, not looking at him.
"No, tell me," he says while reaching out to you.
"It's just been a while," you say avoiding his gaze.
"Yeah, haha, it has," he knows you're not saying what you mean, but he knows better than to push.
You turn to face him, tears in your eyes. He crouches down and picks you up, wrapping your legs around his waist for all to see.
You hold on to his neck for dear life as you choke back tears.
He feels the same in your arms, he smells the same. You want to smile and cry at the same time. You bury your head into his shoulder and neck, the soft spot you found in the street outside of your house so many months before.
He holds you tighter against him and you can feel his heart beating in sync with yours.
"I love you," he says softly.
"I love you too", you say, barely a whisper. You want to stay there forever.
