For thee do not understand true pain from heart.
I have a big crush, on Dani. She is the beautifulest girl in the school. From her shiny blond hair to her amazing style. I’m mike, and I’m on the football team. But I don’t think I have a chance with her. She’s the cheer captan, and the beautifulest one on it. The other day I the cheer and football team were practicing. She was staring at me! Her blond hair up, And her pink crop top. If my mother new I liked this girl, she would go nuts. My mom can’t handle when I have a crush. Her shorts were very short, well to me it least, apparently girls have shorter shorts than guys… Today after school, I saw her at Marshals. I saw her slip a skirt into her beautiful bag. Then a nice dress, which I don’t think was her size. Then the next day i saw her wear the skirt, I was so embarrassed as she walked by me. She smiled and waved. I felt my face getting hot. At practice today, I saw her standing on top of peoples hands for cheer. Then jumped. After I took a shower. I walked out to my gym locker when I noticed something. There was a doorway with no door, to the girls gym room. There was a curtain. She and another girl came up to it. “Hi, Mike.” She said closing it. I got so embarrassed when I realized that I was wearing only a towel around my waist, in front of her! Then I realized, she was too, she probably was just as embarrassed as me. ‘No’ I thought ‘She doesn’t like me that way’ feeling sorry for myself I realized the fact, that I didn’t know that! The valentines Dance was two weeks away. I had to ask her! Before anyone else did. The next day I wore my favorite clothes. She was wearing the dress she got from the store. “I did not steal your pen Casey!” She said to the girl who she closed the curtain with, “Just because something disappears of yours. Doesn’t mean I took it!” I saw a pen sticking out of her bag. But I didn’t know what it looked like. “Hey Dani…” I said as she was walking by. She walked towards me. She crossed her arms. “Yeah?” She asked a foot in front of me. “Want to go to the dance together?” She walked even closer to me “Heck yeah!” She said. She put one arm around my shoulder, and kissed me on the cheek. I felt me beginning to blush. I knew she must have struggled to do so because she’s much shorter than me. Later that day I realized 5 bux were missing, but that’s okay. Mission complete.
“Are you coming to my masquerade party?” Asked Lydia. I nodded, it was really just her birthday party, it was at a hotel where we would be spending the night. We were at work on a Monday evening. I kept working then work ended so I went to get things for the party. I looked at a black dress with lace. I smiled at it, it was a long and beautiful dress. Tight and strapless, with a bigger, fluffier bottom than top. I began to look for masks, I found a black one with lace too, but not the same pattern. It was going to be a beautiful birthday trip. “Your inviting Mr. Jackson?” I asked Lydia the next day at work. “He’s our boss!” She looked at me confused. “Yes, but he’s nice to me!” She said “Why don’t you like him?” She asked I opened my mouth, no words came out. Mr. Jackson was never nice to me, but if she really liked him I wasn’t about to say anything. “I dunno…” I finally said. They day before they masquerade party came, I had already been packed. “Time for bed!” I said to myself, I had to drive two hours. The next day I drove two hours to a beach town. It was misty and beautiful. Me and Lydia had lunch together that day. I drove to the hotel to get ready. Then I blushed as I saw Lydia’s cousin, fin, I don’t know why, but it’s whenever I see him. I walked up to him. “Hi” I said he turned his dreamy eyes on me, then smiled as he looked at me. “Hi!” He said. “I take it you came for Lydia’s party?” I nodded. “Well….” I started. “See you around!” “Yeah.” I went to my hotel room. Took off my clothes and up on shorts, then my dress. I went to to the masquerade party. The dress was tight, and felt hard to walk in. I started talking with Lydia, then in a private corner with fin “Your funny!” I laughed pulling up my dress which kept being annoying and sliding down. We kept talking, then we both stared into each others eyes. I had a crush on him. “I’m going to go get a drink.” I said, ending our daze. I walked to go get a drink, I felt sick to my stomach. I walked over to the door, I was over. I went to my hotel room and took off my dress. I put my pajamas on. I didn’t even stay for any food. I walked to the door, and looked through the peep hole. Lydia was walking back to her room with Mr. Jackson. I needed my friend to confort me. I didn’t know why. I walked into the room as soon as a gunshot happened. I stood there, jaw drooped and legs spread. Lydia had just shot Mr. Jackson. She had dropped the gun, then looked at me in disgust. “BRAT!” She yelled,”NO ONE WAS GOING TO KNOW.” I had just realized the door had closed behind me. I took a step as Lydia was grabbing the gun. She stood and began to point it at me. “No evidence can be left.” She said, I summersaulted towards her. This may have not been her first kill, this may not be her last, but she had not seen this coming. I grabbed her gun and threw it to a far corner. I tripped her to the ground she lay flat on her back. I was throwing her on her side, when she was no longer in shock. She bit my arm, blood trickled down my fore arm. “PSYCHOPATH!”I Yelled. I saw blood on her teeth as I finished pulling her, face down to the ground. I saw even more as she hit it harder than I had thought. I hurt one of her teeth. I threw her arm behind her back to have full control over her. I saw duck tape which she had used to keep Mr. Jackson from screaming. This might have been her first time using a gun for a murder, or her first murder in general because gunshots are very loud when you don’t use a silencer. But I grabbed it and threw it around her forearms so she couldn’t move. She began to cry as I called the police. No one had ever fought back to her. TWO WEEKS LATER I walked into work for the first time in a while. “I need to tell tell everyone something urgent, it’s about our boss.”
I was so exited to tell Lexi the drama! I couldn’t hold it in much longer. As soon as my roommate lexi got home I said “LEXI! You gotta hear this!” She ran to the couch I was sitting on. “So you know Jake my boyfriend” I said as she nodded her head, “Well dawn told him that I was going to break up with him, which isn’t true we’ve only been together for two weeks. Plus I don’t see the point ending it.” She rolled her eyes as I paused to drink water. “Just spill it!” She said. I put up my pointer finger to show “one second” and I set down my blue water bottle. “And so he started crying in the bathroom!” I said “In my opinion this is to early to be crying in our relationship. So being me I didn’t know anything was wrong. When i saw him at the Coffee shop near our college I waved to him and he gave me the death stare.” Lexi’s face got mad, “And he didn’t say anything about it?” I looked at her with frustration “No!” I explained “Well not yet. I walked up to him and asked if everything was okay. And he said you know what’s wrong. So I was confused and told him I didn’t! But he said where did I go wrong? So I said that he didn’t do anything wrong. Then he said that’s what they all say!” Lexi’s jaw dropped. He hadn’t asked anything! He was just assuming. “So I said what happened.” I continued. “Then he comes out saying he was going to date dawn now and wouldn’t be contacting me anymore.” Lexi realized what was happening . “Dawn set him up! Set you up! She wanted him all to herself. Anyways go on.” “I asked why he was leaving me and he told me dawn told him everything, then I told him to tell me because I don’t even talk to her! The he was confused. And told me what she told him! So I said that wasn’t going to happen. Then he calls dawn and she comes clean. I ended up leaving and I looked at my phone and I was still fallowing him on instagram! He had already deleted the photos of us! I hadn’t even told anyone except you.” Lexi looked as if she was drooling from the drama. She had me stop to get Popcorn too! “Keep going!” She asked. I cleared my throat to continue, of course with the popcorn popping on the background. “I went on insta again in the morning, and he had put them back!” I was into the excitement of my story. “So in the morning I go on a normal day and then he’s the class we have together waiting for me! He had the urge to call me baby. I told him we were over. And he started asking why! I told him I wasn’t going to date someone who was going to leave me like that.” I said as I snapped. “And then a guy walks over and says he wasn’t ok he was crying! In the middle of our conversation. Then Jake starts to stutter, so I just walked away. Plus I made the mistake of not blocking he as soon as possible! He started asking me to take him back. And that’s when I deleted and blocked him.” By now lexi was done with the popcorn and I need more water from talking. Lexi’s mouth still opens she said “Wow! Just wow. Well I think that’s enough drama for the night she said grabbing her coat. And that was my Thursday and Friday!
You’ve always been my friend. You’ve been there for me threw my worst. Now we don’t talk much. Only because I had to move. Life’s been hard since. You’ve been threw the same. I’ll never forget you though. You’ll always be my bestie. You were never toxic. I know you’ll never be that kid. I love you even if it’s only as a friend. So lastly i want to say one thing in honer of you. Slay.
A man was after money. The man dug into a deep deep cave but not a cave. And only you knew that cave was a tomb, which held great wealth. The man name mr. Shlay. He found a spot which had a special place for a relic with great beauty. He looked to it, but it whispered take me back, and I’m stuck help me! But me grabbed it and looked into a horrible world. Then the whole cave collapsed then the orb moved and glowed. He woke to a horrible world like he saw In the ball. There were people who’s mouths and eyes sewed shut. but his were Just fine but as he came up to them they began to chase him. There mouths trying to open but the sewing kept it from opening. You could see the teeth in their mouths trying to open then one pulled so hard the threads from their mouth popped and their mouth was full of intimidating teeth and it screamed, as blood pored out of its mouth. He was running and running. He ran into a woman who looked familiar, but she who was normal screamed at them, but she screamed so horrible like a beast. And her eyes turned red and the slowly rolled to the back of their head. The people with sewed mouths ears began to bleed they began to have seizure like movement falling to the ground in deep pain. As the woman was already back to normal. They hid in a house which was safe by boards and locks. He realized who she was. How could he not with her features. It was the teen girl who went missing years ago she told her about this new world. “This isn’t where we are from, and there is a way to get back. We need the orb. But they are guarding it. And they aren’t from here they are like you and me, souls stuck in the orb. We aren’t yet, but they take us to a queen who is a witch. And turns us into them.” The man then said “I will help you.” They set foot. Even though he still couldn’t do her scream, that have you know she didn’t explain about. But before he decided to do one thing he slowly he grabbed a dagger. They got to the tomb and he said one final thing, “You are more experienced right?” She nodded in confusion when they came inside they were almost to the orb when the face sewed people came he looked toward a small spot he saw last time. He handed her the dagger and pushed her towards them. He hid, and they grabbed her by her limbs hands all over and put her in the air and slowly walked away. He then realized that the orb was from the queens tomb, and this was her afterlife. He ran to the orb but right before he could get his hands on it she threw the dragar at him out of anger, only for her to be token away again but now weaponless. He grabbed the orb for the same process to happen again, the tomb got crushed. He woke standing but lost balance complete and dropped to his knees. But now he wasn’t after gold or money. He wanted a normal life, and that’s what he got. Later he got married, and had a child. And never did he tell anyone.
It is true I fell in love with the idea of you. Though I love you like a friend you loved me more than that. You threw hatred onto me and asked for second chances. Though it was just two times, much more. Our 3 year friend ship which you gave me lies over lies. You’d fuss to your father, him thinking I was the bully. Your friends and me weren’t smart, they forgave you. Your best friends girl picked you, though when she said no. Then you broke her with tears, then you were forgiven. Some of my friend were yours too. So What did you think I would say when you asked, Friends?
My whole life I haven’t been the nicest, but now I have a baby coming on the way. It won’t have a father in its life. So I have to be better, for my baby. I am twenty three years of age, and my name is Anahi. I need to be better though. I started off by stoping to drink, I’m supposed to anyway. And no more Coffee.
Now I will go shopping end my day, as I started to walk I realized, how will I provide for my child? I needed to go back to school. I was in luck because I had stopped going to school a couple weeks back, but I didn’t email. I can just say I got sick. I was still living in my dorm. I walked by a man, he was the babies father and my roommate. He had been gone for a while.
I only was a good cook for special times, this felt like one. When he came home the first thing he did was kiss me. We sat on the couch and I told him that I was pregnant. Then He said “ then we need to get married.”
But I wouldn’t do that because I was pregnant, I told him that we didn’t love each other so we shouldn’t. Then he said he thing “You are the mother of my child. Of course I love you. But even if we aren’t together, I still want to be part of their life.”
I couldn’t fight with him on this. Even if I felt like I should do this alone, it’s his kid too.
“Ok” I said finally. Later on I popped and it was noticeable. My childhood was harsh, that might be why I’m horrible. But not anymore, the baby will make me better. Threw this time in my life i will become a better person. So my child won’t suffer how I did. I broke out in tears thinking about my childhood. Moving to America with my parents was suppose to make my life better. But they took me away from my parents only to have plastic as blankets. And never seeing them again.
But threw the time they had me with them. They taught me to fight, so that’s what I did. It was time to find them for my child, for that little girl crying herself to sleep every night, and for her parents who wanted a better life for her. So I found them. And never had to be pulled away from them again. There had been many tears threw this journey. I was ready for what would come
One evening I woke to the man who burned in a fire. The woman in a car crash who didn’t die. Her lover who saved a pregnant woman. The reject girl and her best friend. The dolphin who found love twice with its forever. The girl the abandoned child’s mother which came back for her. Or the other abound girl who’s mother all she had. but, what would their life’s story See I could have made it amazing. Why didn’t I? Because their life after it could be so much better. From that one horrible time.
Lilian was a teenage girl who to most seemed invisible but one day she was threw with it. She bought makeup and clothes that seemed trendy to her the next day she put it on and then she made a brave decision. She said goodbye to Lilian, and welcomed in lily.
Lily now was the new girl at school nobody had new. One Zoe, who was “popular” even invited her to sit with her and her friends. But one girl new what was going on she was now a “cool kid”. Nobody now was messing with her. She had power now and liked it! Though she abused it. After school when she was walking to her car she realized it was old and rusty. No one could see her in it so she began to was for people to leave.
For the next few days the same things happened.
Though a very special day came, one of Zoe’s friends Anna came.
“Lilian?” Lilian was shocked to hear that name. “I’m sorry? Do you mean lily?”
She knew it sounded weird to say something like that, but she had to let go her past self, no matter if it wasn’t her. “Why are you telling them wrong? I mean you are lily.” She couldn’t tell her that weirdo was her, but was it? No body could remember her other than her dad. Who was on a work trip, so she didn’t have to deal with it.
But she had to come clean she knew it ,“How do you know that name?” She said in anger “I don’t want anyone to hear that name. Not at all.”
Anna knew what she was going threw so came clean too “I’m like you. My name is Maryanne. I just go by Anna, but I let them know my full name. I swear to you I was going to make all of us not feel like nobodies. I hated that.”
“No you didn’t.” Lily cried “you didn’t know that pain. Because you would’ve helped, and you would know the nights where you just wanted someone to say your name other that your parent!”
MarryAnne said this. “Then why didn’t you? Look, you don’t have to answer. But think about it. So if you do want to make a change help me? Because tomorrow we are going to wear our old clothes. No makeup no good hairdos either. For the past us, for Lilian and Maryanne.” Now both of them had tears on their faces.
The next day Lilian wore her old style, with her old clothes, and no makeup like she used to do. And not only did the invisible girls do it, the populares did too, that day on lily and Anna changed something because, still some girls wore makeup and crop tops, but no one felt that way, even new people.
