Stabbed by Kaadzie Quaye, Byron, California nov07
One day my best friend Mimi and I were walking home from Aladinos on a late Saturday night. It was about nine fifteen at night and no one was out. The streets were quiet and not a peep was to be heard. We both were so excited for later that night because we had planned on going to Rock and Bowl with other close friends. We all were suppose to meet and star bucks, so Mimi and I decided to go to star bucks before we stopped by our house for some money. We were walking and singing with a box of pizza when we had finally reached the park across Windward Street. Our feet were throbbing so we decided to sit at the park and rest for a while. We sat there for about five minutes we started hearing noises. The bushes started moving and ruffling. Mimi jumped to her feet. “What was that?” she screamed. “What noise?” I replied. Then finally I heard it. “Ok”, I said, “Heard that one” “ I know and it was scary”, Mimi said was a shaky voice.
All of a sudden we can
hear some people talking and then it got louder and louder then we heard a
low pitch scream it seemed like it was coming from far away, but it scared
us so we started running so fast that we looked like lighting. I turned
around to see if anyone was following us and that’s when I saw them. My
oldest friends Sean, Dylan, and Robert were running away too. I stopped
hoping that would catch up to us. They said,“ hey” and ran right past me.
“Sean”, I screamed, “ what just happened back there?” “Just run”, he said
back to me. I knew if Sean was running then it must be back so I booked it
as fast as I can. We finally got past the bridge when I was so tried that I
called my dad to come and pick me up at the bridge where he drove us back to
my house. When I got home I was so scared that I didn’t even want to go to
Rock and Bowl anymore but Mimi talked me into going. We called everyone and
told all of our friends to meet us at my house instead of star bucks. Then
my took us and after Rock and Bowl everyone spent the night at my house. In
the morning when we all woke up my mom asked me, “did you hear the
helicopter?” “When?” I replied. “Last night”, she said to me. “Nope” I said.
We got dressed and went outside all my neighbors were coming up to me and
asking me about what happened to the neighbor hoods bad boy last night. Then
finally I found out. Darrel had been stabbed at the park across Windward
Street. He was stabbed because he tried to take another mans cigarettes, and
was stabbed at the seen. The man that stabbed him was named EJ. Darrel was
sent to intensive care for three weeks. EJ was sent to jail for four months,
but now he’s out so watch out!
