Chapter 2
Going out for the team
As the conflict between Mr. Stumble and Jarvis seem to boil over, Jarvis got to be on the football team.
Jarvis used his cell phone phone to call his mom.
"That's great baby," said his mom excitedly.
"Mom, stop calling me baby. I know you love me," said Jarvis.
"I'm just so happy that you really have the classes this year. You are doing so well. Your father would've been so proud."
Once he hung up the phone, Manuel Ramirez (Jarvis' friend) stopped him.
"Hey man, what's wrong?" asked Manuel.
"Ah...I lost my notes for Mrs. Serena's class, do you have yours?" asked Jarvis.
"Let me check. My wave cap, grease for my waves, a picture of my daughter, nope."
Manuel came over and hugged Jarvis.
Manuel always says man a lot, and it is cool! He can say that and own the word, man.
Manuel and Jarvis went to class, and everything that he told him did not affect his day.
At football tryouts, Coach Cruise told the players about he used to play professional football and played for the Seahawks back in Florida.
He appeared on Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, the CW, ESPN, and also appeared on many television shows like Maury, Jay Leno, and ESPN series: "Pardon for Interruption" and "Cold Pizza."
The boys were trained how to under-run players with the ball and throw an over-toss from the center point to and from the quarterback line.
"Pick up your feet, Charlie! Pick up your feet, Charlie!" yelled Coach Cruise.
"Crap, I can't...I'm tired," said Jarvis anxiously.
"Sit up, sit up, look I know that maybe if you put some body into it you would've been tired. Sit out man," told Coach Cruise.
After practice, the boys went to the locker room to change and leave.
Jarvis' coach was disappointed he was not trying.
He gave his mom a call and she wondered if there was a way she could get him back on the team.
"Jarvis?" said his mom.
He sighed. "Yes ma'am?"
"I talked to Mr. Who?"
"Coach Cruise?"
"Right, your coach called me, something about you got kicked off the team."
"Yeah, it's not like he just found the talent he needed."
"I know, I know believing in God has made many opportunities for us, if we want to succeed, we have to move forward and go where God leads us," said his mom.
"I'm really tired of how all this about God and how today there was no lucky for me, maybe you should find a way out for us."
Jarvis took a bus to school at five in the afternoon to see all the talk about how football tryouts went.
"Okay boys, I'll see you guys tomorrow," said Coach Cruise.
"So Mr. Johnson what did your mom say?"
"We got into a fight, so I don't know," said Jarvis.
"I'm not surprised."
"I'll talk to you in the morning about what we're going to do."
"Night coach," said Jarvis.
"Night."
"Hey Manuel, did you made the football team?" asked Jarvis.
"Yeah, did you?" told Manuel.
"The coach will tell me in the morning, hey want to come over, play football?"
"Sure."
Roni was over Old Man Hunt's house talking to him. Jarvis and Manuel pulled up by Old Man Hunt's house and they had words to each other.
"Man, why you're talking to my brother?!" yelled Jarvis.
"No, let it go," said Roni.
"Yeah, let it go and tell your mom to..." Old Man Hunt punched Jarvis spitting in his yard.
"You ever spit on my yard, I'll mess you up like I did your daddy!" yelled Old Man Hunt.
"Come on, Jarvis!" panicked Roni.

Brothers Stand Strong, Chapter 1
Chapter 1
What could life be without a father?
The book is about two teenagers who pursue careers. The two boys had goals; Jarvis Johnson wanted to be in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athlete Association) for basketball, on ESPN. His younger brother, Roni Johnson wants a career as a comedian because he loves to make people laugh.
"Mom, where's my white beater shirt?" said seventeen year old Jarvis, who was in a hurry for school.
"It's in the cabinet, your brother left it there," said his mom, Rosa.
"Why would he...Roni!"
But Jarvis was not amused by his brother putting his white beater shirt in the cabinet.
"Class clown, eh?"
As they left, Jarvis and Roni kissed their mom, said their goodbyes and left.
"Another day, another utility bill on my mind, bless me Lord that I find a job soon."
At Sarah High School, Jarvis Johnson was recomended from the football team, to the basketball team.
"What did you say?" asked Jarvis.
"I'm going to class," said Chantal.
Chantal went to class, Jarvis was late for class. They were both late.
"Well, well, well Mr. Johnson and Miss. Jones why you late and don't give me any crap about how you got stopped by the assistant principal because I just talked to him," said Mr. Stumble.
"So I'll see you after school, take your seats."
Jarvis found it amusing but not Chantal.
"Jarvis, step in the hall."
"But I'm on the football team."
"Too bad, lateness equals consequence."
"You don't get it, do you?" asked Mr. Stumble.
"Do you?!" laughed Jarvis.
At dinner, Jarvis forgot about football for the day, and his mom, Roni kept the conversation going about school.
"Nothing much, but except making the football team today," said Jarvis.
"Where's Roni?"
Jarvis went to take his plate away to the sink in the kitchen.

My name is...Poem
My name is
My name is Daniel
The name I should be called is Danny because I like that name.
The animal that is inside of me is a cat because I have a nice personality.
What's in my heart is writing because it is my deep passion.
The sound I like is the waves.
The sounds I dislike are noisy things.
The smell I love is fried chicken.
The smell I don't love is spinach, roast beef and cheesy chili.
I love to touch my blanket, books, and my computer.
I don't love to touch diapers.
I love the taste of brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts.
The taste I don't love is hot dogs.
Something I like to look at is people down the sidewalk.
I don't like to see people being homeless.
My favorite memory is going to Fun Spot Park.
My favorite thing in the whole world is my digital camera.

Limerick Poem
Limerick Poem
Sitting in my room, wondering what my next story would be
I pick up my pen, but nothing came to me
Over and over I tried to come up with something, the result being nothing
I thought of some stuff, but they were dumb things
Then it hit me that my next story will be about me
Sitting in my room, wondering what my next story would be
I pick up my pen, but nothing came to me
Over and over I tried to come up with something, the result being nothing
I thought of some stuff, but they were dumb things
Then it hit me that my next story will be about me
I Am Daniel Poem
I Am Daniel
I am a strong young man
I wonder why everybody makes fun of me
I hear the kids laugh at me
I see kids throw paper at me
I want the kids to stop bullying me
I am a strong young man
I pretend to fit in with people who bothered me
I feel proud to be me
I touch people when I do well
I worry about people all the time
I pray for homeless people
I cry for gay marriage
I am a strong young man
I understand when people bothered me
I say things are not fine
I am a man who takes responsibility for what I have done
I dream about men taking responsibilities for them
I try to do my best every day
I hope to continue to work hard and pursue my careers
I am Daniel Ray Williams
