A long time ago, I saw a boy laugh. Barely able to breathe type laughter. Clearly he had no care in the world. “Dangerous,” I thought, to show that much emotion around the others. Everyone knows that he had shown his hand. Frankly, I acted repulsed, but deep down I was jealous of his freedom.
Growing up in the same neighborhood, he reached his hand out to mine and dared to smile. Hands interlock...
I’m mad.
Anger boils under my skin as I shove the screen door out of my way.
My eyes shake and my teeth clench as my legs start moving away from home faster and faster.
Vaguely I hear voices shout my name, but I need to get away.
I was born with my red hot temper, but it’s been suppressed for years. I listened to the commands to behave and smile when I was younger, but then the commands became...
I sit down in the cafeteria and feel like I’m being watched. Oh It’s just Teddy. Our eyes lock for a second and then he looks away. Weird.
I sit down for my lunch and notice Teddy glance my way again. This time he smiles. Huh. His smile is really nice. I guess I’ve never noticed before.
I sit down for lunch and he waves hi. I feel a smile grow on my face. I wave back. He’s actually so nice.

Emery had heard all the rumors, but she needed to see it in person. The entire city was abuzz with a new painting by their very own Becker Davis. He had gone from a nobody to a local celebrity to an internationally acclamied artist.
Emery paused when she approached the museum’s front steps. She covered her head with a stocking cap, pulled the hood of her jacket up, and slid her sunglasses over he...
Sometimes when it rains, I pause
I look to the sky and breathe
Another scene is the cause
It makes me grind my teeth
I bet you’d be confused
Why rain brings me such pain
It washes my heart so bruised
A reminder of you, I’ll explain
One insignificant night
Much past your recall
You laughed in delight
You loved to see the rain fall
I agreed in an instant
but that was only half true
I only l...
My little sister was just eight years old when she lost somthing very important. She tried to hold it for as long as she could, but in the end, it was too heavy. Little girls can only hold their breaths for so long, as one knows.
Underneath the ice, she lost my most prized possession, her life.
She’s gone. Her high strung energy was ripped away from me.
I need her again.
Just to see her from t...
She absolutely disgusts me. That might sound harsh but I had tried to love her——really I had—— she’s just….unlovable.
Her name is Brielle. She dresses solely in bubblegum pink so she has a “trademark style,” but I know for a fact, she doesn’t even like the color pink. Her face is caked in a mess of makeup that people have the audacity to compliment her on. Just by looking at her, you can tell tha...
