NEWSPAPER MEETING

Note outside the cafeteria door:

For those who didn't see the edit, the newspaper crew meeting is now in the Journalism classroom.


William sits on one of the desks in the classroom, waiting a little anxiously for others to arrive. He holds onto his notebook tightly.

"So do you have any ideas for anything I can write? Or any way I can help?" I say, having slightly drifted away in my own thoughts. "I used to make up a paper when I was little, with my sisters."

"You can write some articles," William says, "sometimes, if you like. But it's important that we only report the truth, or as close as we can get to it."

"I'll be careful to be absolutely honest in everything I write...in the non-fiction. But what about my thrillers?"

"The thriller doesn't have to be truthful. I'm only referring to the news articles."

"Great," I say eagerly. "So what do you do in your spare time?" I ask, leaning forward slightly.

William blinks and eyes her. "I've been starting to look around the library. The newspaper is really my only outside hobby, aside from reading and such."

"I love to write. I love a good story." I grin and bite my lower lip nervously, and then back off. "I'm sorry. This is all new and exciting. I guess-" I laugh, "I guess I'm overcompensating for nervousness."

"I don't know why you're nervous," William says, blinking, and shrugs.
