Answer:

A. His name was George, after our nation's first president, and he had been the smartest kid in school during his early academic career as well but George grew up on the other side of the town, so we had really never crossed paths.

It establishes the surprise that the narrator feels throughout the plot. Thus, option A is correct.

The narrator's purpose in telling us that two separate kids' paths have not yet crossed is to pique our curiosity about what happened when they do. The reader will probably be interested in learning more about George. The storyteller then continues by informing us that these two children's paths have not yet crossed.

The narrator and the reader are going to have to determine George's personality at this point because they had not yet really encountered George. What is happening in a story that renders the reader or viewer want to learn more concerning what transpired in the plot is what creates tension.

Therefore, option A is the correct option.

Stealing the Day

by Samantha G. (excerpt)

I achieved the unofficial "smart kid" designation in elementary school, and it was not until years later that I met someone who threatened to depose me from my reign.

His name was George, after our nation's first president, and he had been the smartest kid in school during his early academic career as well; but George grew up on the other side of town, so we had really never crossed paths. We were introduced in our biology class, seated at opposite ends of the first row of desks. When our teacher began asking basic questions to test our science knowledge, George and I had not even noticed each other's existence.

But when Mr. Hartley inquired about the aardvark's natural habitat, both of us shot a hand into the air.

"Africa!" exploded the dual shout, followed by snickering from the rest of the class. I peeked in the direction of the other voice to see George gazing directly ahead, as though he was oblivious to anyone else. Surely, he perceived the awkwardness of this circumstance, and had the abrupt comprehension that there was another "smart kid" in the school! But no acknowledgment crossed his face, and I stared back at my own desk as class continued.

When the bell rang and students began jostling out the door, I hung back, thinking that I should at least introduce myself to George. He had waited for everyone else to push out of the classroom as well, and I extended my hand toward him with a smile.

"I just wanted to let you know that I plan to outdo you in every class we have together this semester, and every semester until graduation," he said.

Without glancing in my direction, George dashed out the door and down the hall toward his locker. I was left in shock at his words, at the audacity of his confidence and conceit. After standing immobile for a few moments, I ducked out the side door of the classroom into the late summer sunshine to comprehend what had just transpired. Ultimately, I came to the apparent explanation to his immature attack: George perceived me as a threat.

When the regional science fair was announced, I knew George had already begun working on his entry, as I had. On the day of presentations, as professors from the local university strolled among poster board displays and homemade volcanoes, I had a clear view of George's project. When he detected my surveillance, George began sauntering toward me and I planted my feet firmly, steeling myself for the verbal assault.

"Is this your first science fair?" he inquired, observing my display critically. "I want to make you aware that I'm going to—"

"I know, I know. You're going to beat me at everything." George smirked, self-satisfied and headed back toward his own project. Anger surged through me as I thought of his haughty conduct, his readiness to belittle me at every opportunity. But it was imperative that George not divert me, and I regained my composure as I spied a science fair judge in my peripheral vision.

By November, George was plainly exhausted by his one-sided antagonism, and I scarcely saw him after Thanksgiving. When report cards were distributed before Christmas, he never approached me to compare grades, and I knew that he had relinquished the battle.

My new cell phone is one-week old today. I started thinking as I patted the back of my jeans pocket to make sure it was still here. After two years of whining and complaining my two year contract was finally up and I could get my dream phone

“ What color case should I buy?” I asked Anglea politely.

“What about deep purple?” Anglea said to me while walking by the pizza parlor on Main Street.

“ No! Black and gold sparkles fits Melissa’s personality better,” as Zoe said interrupting us.

“ I wouldn't be caught dead with a sparkle cell phone case,” said Tommy, my brother.

“ Well, if Tommy is dead, the sparkles don’t really matter, right?” as I said smiling as I “zopen the door to Mattie’s Cell Phone Accessories. I am fine if Tommy is with us on our trips to town with my friends. Tommy makes very few friends because my brother is shy and I feel sorry about it.

My jaw dropped as I looked at the hundreds of different cell phone cases. A display near the cash register featured mobile socks. I picked up one with white trim, and looked closely at the design , the case never had good protection as I looked closely. If I pick up my phone from the bottom by mistake, it will fall and break.

I moved on to the mobile pouches. “ This would keep me from sitting on my phone and breaking it.” I took a moment to pat the back of my jeans again to see if it was still here.

“But the color of the case is a little plain for my looks,” I said. “ look at these phone cases on the back wall,” I said. I picked up a zebra phone striped skin, as I placed it against my face, I am so happy I love it.

“Aren’t cases supposed to protect phones?” as my brother asked. “ That one is not going to protect me much if I drop it on the cafeteria floor” as my brother continued to tell me.

“ I guess you are right,” I agreed. “ I am a little accident prone” as I continue to say.
Finally, I spotted the face plates against the left wall in the back of the store. “ Now, this is what I have been
looking for. These are stylish, but also offer protection.” Zoe smiled as I made a bee-line for the black case
gold sparkles.

“This one is perfect!” “ I'm glad you made your decision” as the shop owner Mattie said. “Come over to the cash register and I will ring you up” said the shop owner. “Can you put the new case on for me?” I asked as I pulled out my phone. One look and I immediately started to get pale. I put my hand over my heart and I fell into a chair by the window. “What this can't be?” This isn’t it.” “What’s going on?” as Anglea asked me.
“This. This isn't my new phone. It is my old phone. Tommy quick! Call mom and tell her go into my bedroom.” Tommy took out his phone and called mom. His mom quickly climbed the stairs and entered my room.
I grabbed the phone from my brother's hand. “ Mom, look at my desk. I know I left it right there. What do you mean it isn't there? Look all over. Please! Look on the floor,the bed, the closet..this can't be happening to me! Thanks for looking at mom. No, I am not irresponsible. I'll find it. I promise.” I hung up the phone as I started to turn to my friends.
“Someone stole my phone!” I shouted

“Don’t look at me,” Zoe said. “I just got a new one for christmas.

“It wasn't me” as Anglea said. “I have never even been in your bedroom.”

I had seen my brother look at the floor.” I wasn't happy when you got the new phone instead of me, but I would never steal from you.” as I was hearing my brother say in a low voice.
“ I know who took the phone,” I shouted. “You better hand it over, right now.” as i was talking to tommy thinking it is him.
