Once upon a time, there were three human sisters. Their names were Maia, Phoebe, and Megan. They lived in a great swirling forest, in a tiny cottage with only two rooms. Those two rooms were all they needed, for they only needed tools for when they were out, books and such, and a place to sleep. Phoebe was some few weeks past her thirteenth birthday, and animals loved her, as she loved them. She took her spare time to paint lustrous landscapes and fantastical storybook imagery. Her hope was…

Twelve ounces of bright orange frosting, along with unidentifiable cupcake ingredients, covered nearly every inch of my white skirt. Because an obscure sentence about frosting does not make much sense, I’ll explain. The campers at The Special Children’s Center, a camp for special needs children, were decorating cupcakes with what else but colored frosting, which proved to be an exciting, but supremely messy, idea. Immediately after beginning, an adorable little girl with Down syndrome came up to…

All short stories have extemal and internal that take place in and between the groups of people. Even in “Seventh Grade,” and “The Melting Pot”. In the short story, “Seventh Grade” Victor likes this girl name Teresa. Victor tried everything, to make Teresa notice him. He even waited in homeroom, so he could bump into Teresa and start a conversion with her. Victor is willing to do anything, to make Teresa knowledge that he is there. He daydreamed in English about Teresa, as he did this his…

Chapter Two : "People pretend not to like grapes, When the vines are too high for them to reach" Quote of Marguerite de Navarre "Did, I sent Marvin too early ?", Veronica patting her nose checking for oils, looking at a compact mirror nonchalantly applying her powder, when she was done she grabbed a wide toothed comb and started brushing her perfectly raven hair. "Not at all", I said looking at her eyeing her hair like it was some kind of fabric or silk as the comb glide smoothly at her…

"Okay my love, I will see you tonight," he said. He pulled me close once more, and sealed our parting with another kiss. I then watched him venture outside of the penthouse. After Sebastian departure, I felt at that moment, I was Julie Andrews from the "Sound of Music". I felt sinfully happy, as my emotions had me collapsing back onto the sofa, going through fits of laughter. When I recovered, I called the girls up. I want to dish about Sebastian, and those beautiful words he uttered to me last…

Walking into the cafeteria at lunch and sitting in the same booth my friends and I have been sitting in for the past month felt different. The one person who noticed my behavior from my fake laugh, fake smile and tone of voice was Jenavee. Being the good friend she is she didn't bring it up in front of everyone and decided to wait till we were in private to talk which I was grateful for. As soon as the bell rang for the last period I bolted out of class to the bus I just wanted to go home and…

I stood in the middle of a glass box - water started to rush in. It filled the box until there was only an inch of air left at the top; I needed to break through the glass to my freedom. I was forced to stay in the box until I figured a way out; this was my life. My parents were the box and their rules combined with my stress and anxiety, was the water. What my parents say is not to be challenged. I was depressed and anxiety consumed me.I continuously asked for help but the entire time I was…

The streets of France, they may as well be the only thing that lives past this time. Everything and everyone else will come to an end sooner or later. It is just too chaotic in this country. All this self-proclaimed “servant of the people”, Napoleon, has done for us is creating more disorder and injustice. He came into picture some time after the Reign of Terror and Robespierre. Before his uprising, France used to be somewhat abysmal and a place where anyone could die for a small “mistake” at…
