I started to stammer.
“What was I saying?” I ask, rubbing my achy forehead.
Suddenly two eyes stare at me, my girl best friend and my boyfriend.
“Are you okay?” She asked.
“The doctor said this would be a side effect from the surgery,” My boyfriend said.
“What surgery?” I pleaded. _Silence_. “What surgery?” I demanded this time.
“Do you not remember?” He asked.
“No.”
Both of th...
“Here,” He said, handing me a s’more.
“Thanks,” I flashed my teeth at him. It smelt delicious.
“Do you always come here?” I ask.
“Not all the time, but this view is incredible, so I find time to sneak away and come here.”
“Is this where you’ve been the whole time? I thought you were cheating on me.”
“Never,” He smiled sincerely, then reached out to grab my hand, intertwining our hands to...

“I know you're watching me,” I say through the two-way mirror.
“Congrats,” The speakers announced. “You were the first to figure it out.”
This place is sick. They wanted me to change in front of the mirror.
“Because you guessed it, you may go to the next round.”
I wanted to leave this place, I didn’t even know how I got here—but all I knew was that I was stuck.
I ra...
“Did you hear?”
“What!” My Bestfriend—Jesseca—pleaded.
“Your crush is switching schools, _to yours_!” I exasperated.
“Oh my gosh! How did you find out?”
“You remember James friend?”
“The dude that Lillie’s friends with?”
“Yes!”
“Oh!” She squealed, and I joined in.
Another guy was right behind me and I accidentally bumped him.
“Sorry,” we said in unison. That clued an awkward laug...
I walked into the attic, when I started hallucinating.
“Daddy!” Young me screamed, then disappeared.
“Please don’t leave me,” I Begged sitting on my bed.
The hullucinations stopped abruptly.
“Please,” I cried out, my hands on my head.
This house was haunted by all the memories. Suddenly more memories played in my head.
“You don’t deserve this!” Dad said, ripping up my school paper ...
The town was covered by the dark night clouds, my friends and I just went to a karaoke bar and they drank—but I didn’t like drinking… so I left. Just a young adult women walking the streets alone, not a good idea… _right_?
I left feeling peaceful—but also couldn’t help but doubt my security.
I tried speed walking home, it worked well—until a dark shadow lingered behind me. _Someone was foll...
I open my eyes, but I’m not in my room anymore…
Someone comes up to me, “You have ninety seconds to hide, if you are found, you die, good luck.”
I start to panic but the stranger says, “I’m serious, you got this.” Then gently laid his hand on my arm.
Wiping tears from my eyes, I run in the opposite direction. At this moment, I felt like I was running forever.
I found a spot—a small cupbo...
Every “Ocean’s Heart,” day—which is what we call a beach holiday—our whole town comes together, we bake cookies, bring food and random trinkets to play with… and each house has a bowl, you can write whatever you want it in. This year, all of my friends and family, gathered around eating cookies and started to write our letters for my bowl—for _me_ to read. Each house had a bowl, assigned to each p...
The boss—Alex—and the maid—Alecia—both Bestfriends tried to hide their feelings, but tension always bubbled up.
“Sir,” Alecia said, walking into his office.
“You can have a break.” Alex said.
“Thank you,” She bowed.
“Why don’t you come sit?” Alex’s friend said flirtatiously.
“Yes, please, sit.” Alex chimed in.
“Okay,” She adjusted herself onto the seat.
“This is my maid, Alecia.”
“You ...
Sometimes I lay silently on the grass and listened to the trees agrue. This is my favorite pastime.
I don’t have any friends, so I pretend as if they’re my best friends—pathetic I know.
But what can I do? I’m the red-headed girl in my class, no one wants to be friends with a _carrot_.

I quickly brush my hands on...
