Swashbuckling
A couple months back I met a very intriguing person, her name was Becca. Though we have only known each other for four months, we know so much about each other. Becca is like the ocean, she can be smooth and calm but then she can be wild, hard to control. We often talk about adventures and sailing the seas, she said one time, “let’s go on a swashbuckling adventure together someday!” Then as we come up with our adventures and start writing a comic called, The Adventures of Becca and Caleb, we found out that we get into a lot of mischief.

She had been getting into a lot of trouble with her parents lately and had been falling behind in school. So I said, “ think of the Brightside, though they may be mad at you now, think of what you can do to fix the problem than to make it worse, a pirate may take unnecessary actions but a captain sees the plan through till the end.” After hearing that a smile appeared across her face and she said, “I am very grateful and lucky to have a friend who cares so much.” Then as we snapped back into reality we started
