Friend-Ship

Okay, well i have this friend, and me and her always call eachother names. Of course we're jokeing about it. But , sometimes she takes it serious ... and gets mad about it. So then , i get mad ... because shes mad over nothing.When ever she would like fall off her bike or somtheing i would laugh at her, i knwo thats wrong, but alot of things make me laugh. And i can't help but laugh, and not because she got hurt, but becasuse the way she got hurt.One time i was over at her house, and i had the flu. She knew i had the flu.. so she didnt ask me to do anything that was like fun. After we ate supper.. my stomache started to hurt. I told her that, and she knew i was about to puke. She got me a bucket.. and tied back my hair. Also got me a drink or two.i never relised that she was a good friend, until a couple days later when i went to my dads. i still had the flu , and my stomache hurt. I felt like i was going to puke, and sure enough i did. As i was bending over the tolit, my step-sister sat there laughing at me, and didnt help do anything to make me feel better.
Poem:
Thank-you for being there...and cheering me up.I never relised how good of a friend you were too me, and how i wasnt to you. I value our friend-ship, and hope it last forever. Friends? no, were sister's. :D

Avalanche

In British Columbia, on February 2,2003 Abby Watkins and Rich Marshall decided to go skiing. They Went skiing in Eastern BC. On they're way up a hill, they saw a school group getting ready to head up to Balu Pass. Abby and Rich stopped by to say hi.
" its a beautiful day out here, isn't it?" Abby said to one of the school group leaders. Abby and Rich decided to go along and ski with the others. There was 3 adults and 14 teenagers. They took a break from climbing in a area with lots of trees. Abby and Rich didn't stop, instead they kept going up the hill. The group started going again. Abby looked back and saw a boy clenching his arms and legs to another group member. " Aren't kids funny these days?" she said as she turned to talk to her husband. At that exact moment just before noon,they heard at great huge noise from the top of Cheops Mountain. The two of them in shock standing there watched as the avalanche was heading towards the school group. "AVALANCHE,AVALANCHE!!" yelled Rich down to the others below. They looked down and saw that the avalanche was in the exact same path as the school group.Rich then screamed for them to get out of the way. All of them looked up. But Riches scream's were heard to late. And the avalanche was very close.All 17 skiers were hit! Hit by rocks,trees, and bundles of snow.. coming at them very fast. The face of the avalanche was so powerful that no one could have got out of the way. All the skiers were no longer together. They were separated everywhere, and under a lot of feet of snow. Rich and Abby raced down the hill, and tried to find, and dig out as many skiers as they could. The had said no one would have made it, but the ones near the top would have had a better chance.Rich runs and tries to dig out the first person he see's.Rich and Abby worked very well by digging out the buried skiers. An hour after the avalanche , seven helicopters,3dogs, and more then 30 people were on site helping them. 7 skiers survived and 7 did not. They were transported by helicopter to the cafeteria of the parks wardens station. Except one who was air lifeted to the hospital with a broken ankle.
