The best about this book is that Lily knows exactly what she is doing. She knows that it's best that she needs to stay away from T-Ray. Lily knows that if she goes back she will get into trouble from T-Ray and the police for stealing Rosaleen.

The worst thing about this book is that Lily stole Rosaleen from that police and ran away with her. Also Lily has lied to everbody about what she is doing and her name.

Describe A Setting: My Room

My room has a California king bed in it. My dresser is all black and has my t.v. and my PlayStation 2 next to it with my DVD player underneath my t.v. My art table is on the left of my dresser. My room has posters all over it and my posters are mainly of b.m.x and dirt bikes. My floor is tile so I have to sweep a lot. My room is almost never dirty because I try to keep it clean. I used to keep my bike in my room but then my brother came down to visit so I had to clean a lot and make room for a lot of his stuff. I had bike frame holders so that I had my bike on so it could have been out of the way. It would have been like a wall ornament.

Your Choice...

My plan for the weekend is to hang out with my older brother. We have planned to play games and he is going to go down and hang out with me while I bike (bmx). We are going to make me a sponsor video. We are going to go all over Salem and Keizer. He has helped with almost everything on my bike when it needed to be fixed. Eventually he is going to help me paint my bike because right now it is completely black, which is alright for now.

Two Other Ways
