Tryouts Kayla tried to ignore her sore throat and stuffy nose. She was trying out for the soccer team, and Coach Markham would pick only the twenty best players. Kayla sipped from her water bottle while she waited to do practice drills. She sneezed, and then Coach Markham signaled her to start. First, Kayla had to run across the field as fast as she could. She took off, but her stuffy nose made it hard to breathe. When she reached the end of the field, she felt dizzy and her head was swimming a little. She hoped the coach hadn't noticed. Next, she and another girl had to compete for control of the soccer ball. The other girl quickly stole the ball from Kayla. Kayla was surprised. She was usually good at this. For the first time, she worried that she might not make the team. Kayla struggled through the other drills, too. At the end of the tryout, she felt terrible and left as soon as she could. A few days later, Kayla had recovered from her cold. She was still worried about her performance at the tryout, but maybe it wasn't too late to do something about it. Kayla went to see Coach Markham. She explained that she hadn't done her best because of her cold. Coach Markham listened patiently and agreed to let Kayla join the team for the first practice. That was all Kayla wanted. She knew she would be a valuable member of the team. She just needed a chance to prove it. Which of the following best describes the main theme or lesson of the story?

a. Sometimes it pays to ask someone for a second chance.
b. Nothing is easy when you are sick
c. Never give up
d. No one likes to hear excuses

Read the passage

excerpt from "First Love"
Judith Ortiz Cofer

The lights had been turned off in the hallway and all I could see
was the lighted stairwell, at the bottom of which a nun would be
stationed. My father would be waiting just outside. I nearly
screamed when I felt someone grab me by the waist. But my
mouth was quickly covered by someone else's mouth. I was
being kissed. My first kiss and I could not even tell who it was. I
pulled away to see that face not two inches away from mine. It
was he. He smiled down at me. Did I have a silly expression on
my face? My glasses felt crooked on my nose. I was unable to
move or to speak. More gently, he lifted my chin and touched his
lips to mine. This time I did not forget to enjoy it. Then, like the
phantom lover he was, he walked away into the darkened
corridor and disappeared

I'm writing a short story about a clown stalking a little girl, it's not finished but can anyone give me a suggestion on what to change in the writing and maybe come up with an ending cause I'm having a bit of trouble.

In October of 2016, a twelve-year-old girl named Samantha lived in a suburban town, after school her friend invited her to a Halloween party later at night. She accepted her request but of course like every other kid, they had to get permission. She later came home and asked their parents if she could come to the party, short answer...no. Samantha tries to argue with them but, no luck. Later in the evening, Samantha was getting frustrated. Then she thought “I could sneak out of the house while mom and dad are sleeping.”, and so that’s what she did. A few hours later she started to get ready, wearing her witch costume. She quietly sneaks out of her room into the hallway, the wooden floor creaking. She gets to the front door, walks out of the house, and slowly shuts the door. She looked around, seeing the streets were completely empty. She began walking down the street, slowly realizing she didn't know where she was going. After about a few minutes she was completely lost: didn't know her way back home, nor which direction to take. The fear of being alone crept up to her. All of a sudden she hears a bit of laughter coming from behind her. She turns around, her eyes widening as she sees a tall man in a clown costume, looking at her with a sinister smile. Samantha didn't know what to do, she quickly started to walk away, the clown follows. She yells, "Back off creep!". She started running, so did the clown chasing after her. She yelled and screamed for help, nobody was around. She gets to a nearby park losing sight of the clown. She hides behind a tree not knowing what to do. She peeks around seeing him, wandering around looking for her. She was trembling in fear, being cold and alone. Then she heard sirens in the distance and the clown immediately runs away.
