I admit it. It was stupid to go along with this nonsense. Harvey and his crew have already shown, verbally and physically, how they feel about me. If they hadn’t touched my pride, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

Because of that, I’m cold, waist deep in the icy waters of the forest lake, and alone, surrounded by the thick oak trees that probably have all sorts of critters inside th...

(Written while listening to Mad Hatter by: Melanie Martinez, def should listen while you read, it’s where I got my inspiration.

What are you doing?! Stop here and listen to the music while you read!)

Wait for it…

Ready.

Okay, go!

Music plays gently on the speakers until the bass gives in, vibrating and rocking from tree to tree. The girl on the speakers does her thing while the ...

Alice looked around.

Oh shoot. She thought.

“Guys?” Silence followed. “G-Guys? This isn’t funny.”

She looked over to the dock where her pile of clothes once were.

They were gone.

“No, no, no” she muttered. “This can’t be happening.”

Alice went out with her friends that afternoon. They decided that they wanted to go skinny dipping. She was hesitant at first, but was sick of being left out so...

“Please Harper?” Sylvia begged. “Everyone’s doing it!”

“I don’t know guys,” Harper said, trailing off. “We’re only in seventh grade! We probably shouldn’t be going skinny dipping in the lake in the middle of the afternoon.”

“Ugh, she’s such a wimp,” Lynda complained to her best friend, Marie.

“Some things never change,” Marie responded.

Harper shook her head, hating that she was the uncool o...

The cold water takes your breath at first. But what it gives back is electrifying. Your feet tingle. The full moon illuminates the still lake in front of you. You melt into its pearlescent glow.

Your worries left with your clothes.

You can hear your friends splashing behind you as they also wade naked into the lake. Determined to shake off your title as "the wimp" you take a deep breath close p...

Kyle. You’re a fucking idiot.

The first hot girl to ask you to go skinny dipping and you jump in without an ounce of hesitation.

God damn bafoon.

Shaye was on another level. That tiny waist of hers, that Carmel-colored skin, that perfect little rear, and those perky…

Kyle. Focus! Get your god damn life together!

The cliff was much higher than it had appeared at ground level. It felt as t...

“1……2……3!” We all yelled, jumping and submerging our naked body’s in water

As my body collided with the freezing water every muscle in my body tensed, as my head emerged I heard shrieks and laughter as my friends splashed each other with water. I was swimming closer to the group when I got a face full of cold water,

“Oh my god, Jamie!” I yelled, he swam over to me, picked me up, and threw me ove...

Most times he wondered if Jesse, Kyle, and Nick were truly his friends, and at that moment he figured they were not, in fact, true friends at all. Not only had they taken his clothes, they had also left him with no way to get home. No car, no phone, not even a map. The wind grew chillier by the minute, and his skin and hair were still dripping from his dive in the lake. It had taken them nearly fo...

Ashley knew it was wrong but she felt as if she had no other choice, she had to fit in right? (She jumped into the pool) but the others didn’t follow “guys where are you..?” She looked around, nothing. Where had they gone, and more importantly where had her clothes gone ?...

Zeb rose to the surface and took in a deep breath. He slung his long dark hair backwards and wiped the water from his eyes. As his vision cleared he noticed he was alone. He listened and heard the sound of his friends giggling from far away. He panicked as his eyes darted towards where his clothes were supposed to be. Not only were they gone, but his towel was gone too.

If he were at home, or eve...
