I have always wanted to become an author as reading has gotten me through so many tough times in my life. Reading transforms you to a completely different place. People call me a dork for reading but I don't care because it brings me comfort. Be you.

Fear

People have always said that to get over your fears you have to face them, so that’s why I’m standing at the edge of the tallest cliff in Scotland, looking over the edge into the murky waters below, a tingly feeling in my toes, and an aching feeling in my chest.

I look over the edge one last time and close my eyes, I can hear the thudding of my heart, feel the breeze as it blows my hair behind me...

Every night before I go to bed I hear the voice, the voice telling me I'm not good enough, telling me no one will love me, telling me I should just give up.

Sometimes I'll admit I'm tempted, but then I think about my sister and I can't do it.

She needs me our mum died when she gave birth to my little sister, and my dad died in a car crash trying to rush to the hospital to see my little sisters bir...

Power

When I was younger everyone used to laugh at me because I was the only one in my class that hadn't gotten a power, little did they know my power would make up for it.

I'm older now no one laughs now because I have a power and it's better than theirs.

My brother used to brag that he had a really strong power because he was twenty when he got his but mine's better.

I wake up and head downstairs.

I squint my eyes trying to see past the intense glare of the sun.

Where am I?

How did I get here?

Passers by look down at me sceptically.

They probably think I'm a weirdo.

"Are you ok?" A woman asks kneeling down beside me.

"I think so" I tell her

She sits down and keeps me company.

"Where are you from?" She asks with a smile.

"England" I say remembering a country I had seen on TV.

To my left is a girl I went to school with, she is about a year or two younger than me, she has beautiful ginger hair and sky blue eyes.

I look down at her and and she is shaking.

Who is sick enough to make twelve year olds fight for their lives.

She is hol...

"hurry up" Cameron shouts fixing his gun and pulling me along behind him as he heads up David our arch nemesis' driveway towards his mansion.

The day before David had provoked Cameron by slagging his sister who has autism and now Cameron wanted blood.

"Are you sure about this?" I ask concern in my husky voice

"He needs to pay" Cameron whispers short and simple.

There was no backing down.

I was at Police cadets and my little sister came to get me she said someone had smashed into my mum's car we got home and my mum wasn't there and neither was the car.

"What happened?!" I cry

"Where is she" I ask lips trembling and tears prick the back of my eye.

"It was supposed to be a game" I cried shouting at the police officer trying to arrest me for my friends murder.

"Well what happened!" He shouts back trying to get me to confess.

"We were playing murder mystery and she thought it would be a funny prank to swap the fake knife for a real one and she didn't tell me so when I pretended to stab her it really happened, it wasn't my fault I swear I did...

I knew it was the wrong thing to do.

Starting an arguement with someone on a hot air balloon really wasn't the brightest idea I had, had over the summer but Jacob was getting on my nerves.

"Look down scaredy cat!" He taunted leaning over the edge pretending to fall.

"Stop it" I cry out scared for his safety.

"Stop being such a bloody wimp" he yells

"Shut up why do you constantly think your b...

Luke stared at Skye wondering how she can be oblivious to the fact he is irrevocably in love with her.

He knows she doesn't feel the same way about him so he has never said.

But now she might have fallen in love with a different guy, he may have lost his chance.

All he can think about is how beautiful she is as she is shouting at him.

"Why do you care what I think of Cameron you barely know hi...
