"I'm gonna get laid tonight!" I clinked my Lemontini Meringue against Carmen's. I guess I did it too hard, because we both lost a little precious alcohol over the sides of our glasses. The strangers around us probably just assumed I was drunk. But actually? "You are hopelessly clumsy." Carmen shook her head, but she couldn't even pretend to be mad at me. "And, really? What's your plan?" "I was hoping you'd help with that part." My friend laughed. She glanced at her date, Myka, as if to warn…

After being invited by Nick to come to his place for tea to meet up with Gatsby. I felt extremely nervous because I did not know what was to come when I meet him. Gatsby is so well-known and I wouldn’t want to mess anything up. “Don’t bring Tom,” I warned her. “What?” “Don’t bring Tom.” “Who is Tom’?” she asked innocently. I knew exactly who Tom was, but just in case for any reasons necessary I acted confused. The next day, it felt funny, foggy and damp, so I grabbed my raincoat…

Death Valley “Look!, an old, abandoned campsite,” I yelled,”I hope it's not just a mirage,” she thought. “I see it!” Jenny gasped. “there might be food there, or maybe someone to rescue us!” we walked over there and saw nothing but some old, gross alligator jerky. Jenny wasn’t so pleased. “if you want to survive, you have to eat it,” I told jenny. “ugh, it’s all sticky” gina said, Jenny gagged, “uhg, it tastes horrible.” “well would you rather…

On the night I turned forty-four, I realized Polaris was not sprawled upon my blanket like usual. Castor was missing too. The chaos of sheets on his side was a signal for another one of his work days. “Castor, I’m up," I called. "I’ll cook, so for Heaven 's sake, don’t scream.” The late night infomercial buzzed from the other room. Because of the mutable fabric, Strawberry Jam can be worn as a coat during winter and a cape during any other season! Madame Strawberry meant it was still one o’…

1. Do you have reason to believe that someone else has something against you? If so, why? I don’t have reason to believe that someone has something against me, at least not that I am aware of. 2. How has the other person sinned in this situation? If someone has something against me and they have not told me they will be sinning by disobeying Jesus’ words in Matthew 18:15, which say: “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you” 3. Would it be better…

My bed called for me. The long night along with the impromptu breakfast had me yearning for sleep. I took a long drink from a bottle of water and laid back on my rumpled blankets. Wadding the pillow into a tight ball, I nuzzled against its soft surface looking for that sweet, comfortable spot. I really didn’t like sleeping much. It wasn’t the rest. It was the dreams. Every night my failure to keep Chris alive replayed over and over in my dreams. It made me dread getting any kind of rest.…

It’s been surprisingly peaceful today. Normally, Mrs. Sorun’s Relationship Development I class is loud, obnoxious and overall chaotic place to be in, but today there is this sense of calmness around my personal space that I can’t quite put my finger on for why it’s there. I know I shouldn’t be complaining, I love myself some peace and quiet, but I can’t shake the fact that I’m uncomfortable with this current atmosphere. Maybe Ariana would know. “Hey Fatty…” When I turned and noticed she wasn’t…

Later that day, just before five in the evening, there was a knock at the door of his home. The first thought that came to his mind was Randy. It couldn 't have been Hailey, he thought because she had cheer practice that day. It couldn 't have been his parents, he thought, because they were both at work and Liu, was at a friend 's house. Besides, other than Hailey, they each had a key to the house. Leaving his bedroom, Jeff made his way into the kitchen and pulled out a drawer which contained…

Corin 's Pov~ I feel like Nick gets to school early now just so I can 't take his spot because today I made it to school by 8:17 and again he was already here and inside the school along with what looked like the rest of the students from the practically full parking lot. Thats odd I think to myself but ignore the bad feeling I have about it as I walk into the school. As soon as I walk through the front door 's everyone 's eyes are instantly on me. "What the fuck is wrong with these…

Jayna had hardly slept in two days, she had intended on resting only until noon, then she, the unicorn and 23 would began the journey to Minos. The sun was low in the sky when Jayna was awakened by a shout, the neighing of the unicorn and the sound of a sword being drawn from its scabbard. She leapt to her feet and drew her own sword. A big human male with a sword squared off against 23, while a short man with his back to her, with broad shoulders and long arms faced off against Corny with a…
