The Prince and the Blog Episode 1: The Surprisingly Sweet Sixteen EEERRRR! EEERRR! The sound of my alarm wakes me from the beauty of slumber; I open my eyes and stare at the clock, 7:30, so school should be starting in about half an hour… “Shush” I whisper to the machine, “I don’t care,” rather than making the effort to shut off the annoying noise I just decide to lie there and wait. Sure enough after about a minute or two my twin sister Erica bursts into my room, “ERIC! GET UP! I AM NOT…

A Cacophony of Puppets by Sarah-Noémie Laurin "A dark planet of awesome size perched in its sunless void, an invisible titan all thick black forests and jagged mountains and deep, turbulent oceans. A monster. Spinning. Soundless. Forgotten. It’s so close now." It was once us. It will be us. I don 't think that will ever leave humankind 's subconscious. Chapter One - Destroying ‘Euphemism’ in Life ~Nicolas~ It is chaos. This word is too small to explain the situation. This is a genocide.…

Cynthia Ozick once said, "We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." We may not want to believe it but this is absolutely true. Everyone has done it. Your parents drive you anywhere and everywhere without a thank you. The nice person who holds the door open for you every morning that receives a grumpy, mumbled "Thanks." Also, your best friend who stays with you through every high and low point, but rarely receives an "I appreciate you." We 've all been in those…

I am sorry but there is no way we are ever going to be friends again. I have kept my cool, and controlled temper for a while, and now I just feel anger and resentment towards you. I don 't want to feel angry all of the time. If we talked in person I would lose my temper, and that is something I do not want to do. You may think that things are going to change, but I will honestly say right now that it is never going to happen. I am sick and tired of all the games you play with me. A while ago I…

It was early September, so early that school hadn’t started yet. I received a text from a family friend, telling me he was on his way to come pick me up. Earlier in the week, I had a falling out with a friend, and I really needed someone to talk to. I texted TJ, asking if we could do something, to get my mind off of everything. He happily obliged and offered to take me to ice cream on Wednesday. When he pulled into the driveway, my heart leaped to my throat. I was finally going to have to come…

My life changed in a blank of an eye when I laid eyes on my girlfriend Fox. Right now I’m on the phone with her best friend Elliot, “So it’s been eleven months that I’ve been dating with Fox. She’s just too marvelous to put into words. I’m absolutely head over heels in love with her. I want to ask her to marry me, how should I pop the question?” Elliot went silent, and then I hear squealing, “Boy it’s taken you long enough? Oh my god this is fantastic news! Like I’m overwhelmed with emotions,…

Connie began to walk to the jalopy, the side with the 33,19,17 on it. “Well hell Ellie, this sweetheart isn’t a dope at all!”Arnold turned and exclaimed to the backseat passenger. Connie tried to take her mind off of what she was doing. The ground was shaky and she barely could walk straight. “What’s the secret code?” Connie asked, with a shakiness in her voice. Arnold shook his finger and smiled. “Let me open the door for my Connie” “I can get it” “No, sweetheart, I have it, I have it” While…

Chapter fifteen ***Oliver 's P.O.V*** I kept messaging Dave as Carson messaged Cassidy. I turned to him. "Look, they 're probably together doing some stupid shit. Don 't worry." He nodded. "Yeah, you 're right. Let 's just go to maths." I smiled. "Sure. I just need to go to the bathroom." He nodded and we both walked into the bathroom. He looked at me, waiting for me to go to the bathroom. "Oli, what are you doing?" I breathed out nervously. "I need to tell you something. Actually, now that I…

I will never forget the evenings spent waiting by the dark cliffs, watching the last rays of dying golden light grasping at the tips of waves, the rustling grass, my clothes, my hair and my face as their source sunk beneath the sky. I would quietly observe the deep blue suffocate the sun, and wonder why things are.
