He looked out from his big huge cage in the zoo. Human beings annoyed him, especially during birthday parties for whiny little bratty kids. He was a chimpanzee, he didn't have to deal with snot nosed, bratty disrespectful humans. Yet, he did and it bothered him to no end. He wanted freedom. He wanted respect. He no longer wanted to be some creature that was constantly looked and stared at. As the kids were laughing, yelling, and eating this odd pink and blue cake with a white filling, a little golden haired girl in a pink dress with yellow flowers and white lace trim walked up to the monkey, carrying a red balloon. She tied the red balloon around a bar on the cage and said,"Happy birthday, cutie monkey!" She skipped away from the cage, and went back to the hyper, sugar-filled children. The chimp sniffed the string from the balloon, and untied it. He noticed that the cage did not have a cover or anything blocking it, so he let the balloon go, quickly climbed up on the cage and grabbed onto it, floating away to freedom. He was very surprised that no one noticed a flying monkey!
The sky was blue and cool the clouds were fluffy and white, as the little chimp's arms started to grow tired. Yet, his physical weariness did not force him to let go of this red balloon carrying him to freedom. He inhaled the air deeply, so deeply he could taste it. I bet this is what freedom tastes like, he thought as he had never felt this alive before. He never wanted to let go, never ever ever! This was the best feeling ever, and it should last for a long- POP! The balloon popped, as he was now falling, falling far from the earth. His heart nearly jumped from his throat, his stomach tightening from the fear. He feared for his life until-SPLASH! The ocean was below him, as he swam to the top, letting the waves carry him to land.
He was blessed. Blessed for the ocean and blessed that primates of all kinds could swim! This so far was a lucky day for this little chimp. He thought he would die, but didn't. The ocean caught his fall, and now is carrying him to the surface.
He landed on a soft beach on an island far, far away from the zoo. The land had beautiful soft sand, and it lead to a tropical jungle a few feet away from the ocean. Yet, there was something wrong. Something very wrong. He didn't feel happy. The little chimp felt....lonely. He started to miss the noise, the eyes gawking at him, and the free meals everyday. Now, he has to hunt for food, find his own shelter, and be alone. He found a clam washed up on the beach and picked it up. It squirted him with water, but that didn't bother him. He walked into the tropical jungle and was upset. His only friend was a water squirting clam. He started to cry, as he missed his old life, until he heard noises, similar to his. Then, all of these chimpanzee monkeys looked at their new family member. That day he realized that he wasn't so lonely anymore.

The preps have got on my nerves for the last time. They decides to expose my crush on Kyle. How dare they? Who do they think they are? Their leader was like we all know that Laurie likes Kyle. U was all like please, I so don't. Then we got into this huge argument. Jennifer, L. J, and Tammie had my back though. Jennifer started trash talking their leader, Carly Louis, and they rest of her desperate followers. Kyle interjected and said that if I liked him then it wasn't any of their business. This is why I like the boy so much. After school when I was walking him from school, Kyle caught up with me. He told me that he thought those girls were cruel and should stay in their own business. I couldn't agree more. He whirled around suddenly and kissed me! I was utterly speechless. He started stuttering and then sprinted off in the other direction before I could say anything. Yep, that kiss was everything that I had imagined it would be but why do I feel like it was so wrong.

"no" Kyle said. "I'm so sorry."
"What for? you were always there for us, what else could you have done?" James said.
"I could've been more of a brother, instead of your leader." Kyle said and looked at his brother.
"But then what would I have gotten angry at you for then?" James said they smiled at each other.
"Take care of them.Kyle said, " Kyle croaked, "Please?" James nodded "I will." James wanted to say dont go or something, but he knew it was time. "I'll be watching you, hot-head." he said.
James looked down and didn't speak.
"I wish it were different to." Kyle told him. James hugged Kyle tightly, "Say hi to mum for me"
"I will, bye" Kyle cried on James' shoulder and he cried on Kyle's. "To let you know, I do need you."
"Your a funny kind of brother, aren't you!?" Kyle whispered. "Goodbye." said James.
"Look under my bed, remember Sheila" his eyelids growing heavy. "James. You couldn't have stopped this"
"What do I do without you?" James asked.
"Live on"
