Interlocutor: A Literary Magazine 2019 edition The International School of Louisiana (ISL) was founded in 2000 by a group of parents eager to make a contribution toward improving the quality of public education in Louisiana. The school’s founders envisioned a public school offering a foreign language-based academic program with a global perspective. By offering a new choice in public education, ISL hopes to generate educational opportunities of the highest caliber for all students in Louisiana. ISL was Louisiana’s first language immersion charter school and is the only Louisiana school to be named a “Charter School of the Year” by the Center for Education Reform, the nation’s leading education advocacy organization. From their first day of school, students are taught core academic subjects in either French or Spanish. At ISL children learn a second language naturally, through everyday conversation and classroom instruction. The mission of the International School of Louisiana is to provide a challenging education emphasizing language immersion, international awareness, the celebration of diversity, and community responsibility. Interlocutor was created by Kyle Scott’s 5th grade class of 2015-2016 at the ISL - JP campus to publish original student work, designed to coincide with National Poetry month. A very special thank you for all of the student submissions, and the teachers who helped!

Photo: Jaelynn Legaspi (7th grade Spanish, Uptown Campus) Jerry had always been the daring, crazy type, but I’d never thought he could go this far. He brought us to the Six Flags in Texas before, Six Flags Over Texas, so I thought that when he’d said “Hey Sarah, wanna go to Six Flags, tonight?” that’s what he meant. Nope. He’d meant, “Hey Sarah, wanna go to that abandoned Six Flags off of Lake Forest and Michoud? There’s a chance we might die but who cares?” So now, mislead, I’m at the Six Flags off of Lake Forest and Michoud. I should've known we couldn’t get to Texas that fast. Kyle came with us which was a bit more comforting. I held onto his warm, sweatshirt covered arm, and prayed this little trip would be over soon. “Can we please go back to the car? I don't like it here.” I said. The park was giving off a bad vibe. Plus, it was a really foggy night which was not helping. But, as usual, Jerry ignored my pleas. He was always the cocky male type. Never scared, talks about how he can get all the girls if he tried, but he obviously hasn’t tried because he has no one. He and I had been friends forever and knew everything about each other, so I never even thought about cutting him off, but sometimes he gets on my nerves. Kyle was always quiet and by my side. I hugged his warm body and kept walking. ✧✧✧ 11 Twenty Minutes Later “Let’s go home, man. Sarah’s obviously
