The well loved Twilight series got a huge amount of who refused to read books over 100 pages actually read them and enjoyed it! People who loved to read had to read it again. With so many people reading the series have felt as though something was missing. When they had finished reading Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse, they felt as though there was more to come there is, a lot more.

When I look into your eyes,
I’m lost in the deep sea of blue
The twinkle that they always have,
That certain animation.
The way your perfect red lips pucker,
When you have something on your mind.
Your brilliant teeth blind me when you smile.
The happiness you always seem to have inspires me.
It makes me wonder,
And sets my mind off on an expedition!

When the sun stops shining,
And the light ceases to exist,
You look to me to light up your world,
You look to me for trust and hope,
Hope for a peaceful world,
A world unlike this one,
Completely submerged in darkness.
You look to me to light up your world,
To give you things unimaginable,
Unimaginable, and at times, simply impossible.

As I float on up to heaven
Merrily on my way
Remember all the good I did
Every single great day.
Remember how I will always love you,
No matter the crime you commit
I’ll love you for eternity
You’re my lighthouse, always lit.
You were always there for me
To help guide me on my merry way,
Up, up, up to my heaven.
Hawthorn Spirit Invitational-Pom and Cheer Competition
By Jing Qu, Grade 7

(Sorry for this late article, but I still think this will be an interesting piece! :P )
Last month, the two Hawthorn Middle Schools hosted the Hawthorn Spirit Invitational at VHHS. It was an exciting cheer and pom competition for many area middle schools. Both South and North poms and cheer squads (and their coaches, like the ahhhhmazing Mrs. Masini, South Cheer Coach, who just happens to be this newspaper’s south sponsor) did well and should be congratulated.

Slippery ice
Nowhere to go
Out looking for help
While blocking the snow
Searching for warmth
Too much wind
Oblivious to the cold
Running for cover
Made it at last!
