Student Sample 3: Middle School

The Belle L’Amour Dress
by Mickayla, seventh grade writer

You’re walking down a long hall. All you hear is the clinking of your heels and the excitement bursting out of the door. As you enter in through the doors, everything and everyone becomes silent. All eyes on you and your ensemble. Your dress flows when you walk. In the light, your diamonds shimmer, as they were carefully hand picked. The sparkles make you glow with radiance.

You will find the short-sleeves and layered dress swimming. The top comes in maroon, navy blue, and forest green. The bottom in violet, sky blue, and green. Made out of 100% silk. This is a Paris original. Belle means beautiful in French, and you surely will be in a Belle L’Amour.
