In bed I twist and turn. In my head, I watch the fire burn.
I'm in some weird dream. In front of me is an enormous campfire. It looks perfect - so perfect its fake.
3 boys sit around the fire with me. It's almost impossible to see whoever is sitting across from me, only their hair - almond brown hair fluffed...
“I swear, I had nothing to do with it! Listen, Kay, I’m not your enemy!”
His eyes burn with rage as he walks towards me, hands balled into fists.
“Lair.” He growls, slamming his hand into the wall beside me.
I flinch.
“The nights you simply disappeared, the limp you never explained, the time when you told me to stay out of the way at the kings ball, the excuses that always seemed filled with h...

I'm in some weird dream. In front of me is an enormous campfire. It looks perfect - so perfect its fake.
3 boys sit around the fire with me. It's almost impossible to see whoever is sitting across from me, only their hair - almond brown hair fluffed up in the front - and part of a snow white forehead is visible from where I am.

I wake up to the maid pouring me tea as usual. The warm sent flows up my nose, pleasing my foggy morning brain. With a tired sigh, I sit up and stretch. Rosie - my maid - gives me a small curtsy.
“Good morning, Your Majesty. What would you like in your tea?” she says so...
I awoke to people talking- my guardians.
Anger rose inside of me, I was tired of hopping from place to place, hoping someone would care enough to keep me. It’s been 10 years now, 10 years of switching homes, 10 years of meeting new people, growing close, then leaving. Again and again. All I’ve ever known is coming and leaving.
I stood up from behind the velvet couch, spooking the two adults I ...
“ Marlee, have you seen my phone? I’m gonna be late for work!” I swerve around to her. My best friend. Short blonde hair, quite tall, and crystal blue eyes. Where as I have ,long dark hair, about a foot shorter, and have dark green eyes. “Naomi, you work at a library.” She sighs. “And?” “And! And you own it for Pete’s Sake! ” “Give me it.” I hold out my hand and she pulls it out of her pocket and ...
“Beunos dias, Saïd. You seem sad.”
“You can say that again” Saïd agreed. “I am sad, indeed.”
“Why are you sad, Saïd?” Sadi asked from the daïs.
“Well, Sadi, see, I wanted to speak from the daïs.” Saïd was sore; It’d been promised he’d be scheduled to speak succinctly from the daïs that Sunday.
“Ah, I see, Saïd. Certainly, that is a surprise,” Sadi suggested.
“I even schlepped some visual aid...
The bus slowly pulls up to the bus stop and adjusts into park. The doors shoot open and the bus driver stares back at me.
“Swipe your card please.”
The bus drivers words only partially jolt me from my daze. Robotically, my hand pulls out my bus card and swipes it on the credit card reeder. I take my first step down the aisle and raise my eyes to scan for an open seat. I see one at the back of t...
Jason climbed up the wooden ladder to the roof of the high school. When he got to the top, he saw her, Lucky Cyrius. She began the conversation.
“Hey, Jason.” She smiled.
“Hi, Lucky. I missed you.”
“So have I. I just can’t believe what happened over these years.” Her smile reverted to a frown as she sat on the edge of the roof.
Jason sat next to her, speaking again.
“So, did you manage to rec...
“50 on number 5,” touted Jim Norse, with a stern face and a cigarette wedged between the corner of his lips. “Tonight’s my night, I know it without a doubt this time.”
“And what makes you so certain?” Asked the stranger next to him.
“I’ll say this lad, that horse isn’t the only thing I’m betting on.”
“Aye, then what else?”
“If I told you, then I’d have to kill you.”
“Fuckin hell, I didn’t k...
