“Well I can do a back handsprint double tuck!”

“I can draw a perfect circle!”

“I have double jointed elbows!”

“I can draw perfect eye liner.”

_“I make people question their sexuality.”_

….

“WTF?!”

_”I made a straight girl think she was bi and a trans gay guy think he was bi.”_

“Girl, you would rather study then come hangout with everyone else in our sorority?,” Grace Stanfill asked over the phone.

“Maya, you really need to have fun sometimes!,” Lila McConnell added.

“Guys, I’m sorry, but I really need to study,” Maya Thompson said apologetically. “Maybe next time.” Maya heard her other friend Nora Lewis scoff.

“It’s always next time,” Nora muttered. “But whatever....

As my S/O challenged me to an art competition, I knew I wasn’t going to win. They’ve been into art since they were a kid. I haven’t lifted a paintbrush for decades. But as my pencil slowly glided across the paper, I knew what I had to do. All I had to do was imagine it in my mind, look at it, and copy every single detail. I didn’t know anything about color theory, but I hoped it’d still be good en...

“I have a hidden talent!”

“Really!?!”

“Yep!”

“Well what is it?”

“Guess!”

“I dunno! Gimme a clue!”

“Ok, I’m doing it now”

“What! Breathing? Standing?”

“Nope”

“Just tell me!”

“Ok! Ok! My hidden talent is to tell jokes!”

“What!”

“Yep this is all a joke!”

“What!”

“Just like your life!”

“Bobby!”

“Come on! That was good though wasn’t it!”

“Kind of.”

“Really!?!”

“Ok! It was a really go...

My night was going so well until I met her, the girl with the leather jacket and red hair.

It was a total accident. I wasn’t even supposed to be in that park. I was supposed to be at home, doing my homework and reminiscing about my amazing date with Connor, which had ended with the most amazing kiss I have ever gotten in my life ( it was the only one of course...

How did I not see this before?

I guess I’ve always been a pretty straight and narrow guy. Never really breaking the rules fully and abiding by most of the laws set in place. Sure I’ve stolen the odd thing. Like when grocery stores finally put in those self check outs and only placed ONE cashier on a busy Saturday afternoon. You bet I failed to scan a full box of RX Bars retailed at $30. But this i...

“Dude. I have to show you something.”

That was Silas, my roommate of three years. I had no idea he was in the living room when I entered the apartment. When I turned the lights on and saw the excitement in his eyes, it was clear that he was waiting for me. Beyond that, it was creepy and weird, especially since he was sitting in the dark.

"We're you just sitting in the dark?" I asked.

Silas sho...

“You seem… tense. Why are you here, Taylor?”

Taylor smiled delicately. Let her eyes linger on his. She brushed her hair out of her eyes.

“To talk, Harris. To check up on you after… you know. Could you keep for some tea?”

Harris frowned at the rapid stream of words, but turned to obey nonetheless. Taylor let her eyes, sparking flint, rove over the room. She keenly marked all signs of feminine c...

« it’s just a meringue » I say under my breath, bracing myself for another set of eggs to go wrong.

Charlie is watching the football in the living room. He’s blissfully unaware I’ve been falling apart. The easy and quick recipe my mother-in-law has served every Sunday since 1976. Did you know there are different meringue type? The French, the Italian, the Swiss… all with the same easy first step ...

Achoo! I grabbed my head to keep it from falling off. Barking at my sneeze, Mr Wiggles jumped off my bed and trotted down off to the kitchen.

“Et tu cane,” I shouted after my Yorkie’s fluffy butt.

Ugg, every inch of me ached in novel ways.

Ding.

I turned my congested head on my sore throat to face my phone. It looked like a text from Carla in Accounting. She always texted my cell instead...
