Chapter 2: The Awards Banquet (Liberty or Death):
I was in Sarah's room when she was getting ready for her special banquet. She was applying make-up and then grabbed her sweater. "Hi, Sarah," I greeted. "Hi, Angel," Sarah greeted back. "Do you think this dress is okay for me to wear?" I asked. I wore my black, floor-long dress. "Yes, that's appropriate, Angel," Sarah agreed. Pretty soon, James and Henri came dressed up for the occasion. We then drove to the Mt. Airy Presbyterian church for our dinner. Henri and I sat at a separate table, while James and Sarah went up to get their awards. Henri and I were only in the 5th grade at that time. Sarah was one of the freshmen getting honored, while James was one of the juniors being honored. Apparently, Henri didn't want to eat his salad. I didn't blame him. I didn't like salad that much, either. But then, we broke out into a fight and one of the employees had to stop us and tell us to behave ourselves. "Wait till we get to high school, Henri," I told him. "We'll eventually be out on that stage. James and Sarah are pretty embarrassed to see us act like this." The two high schoolers then rushed back to our table. "What were you two fighting about?" James inquired. "We don't like to eat salad, that's all," I explained. "But, salad is very good for you, Angel," Sarah explained. "Maybe, when I'm older, I'll like it," I predicted. However, I liked the spaghetti with marinara sauce, because I predicted that at age 10, I would eat pasta with tomato sauce.
