While sitting and drinking our caramel frappes, like we do every Friday, Nicole randomly interrupted my story about the mall earlier that week with Abbey. “I really don’t care what you did with Abbey,” Nicole said quietly while taking a drink of her frappe. ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that was a problem,” you could very clearly here the annoyance in my voice. Nicole was always jealous of my other friend, this I knew very well. Especially Abbey. “It’s not that I don’t care, I just…

A Few Words, A Lifetime Difference My entire perspective changed in the span of a single conversation. That day, like all the others, followed the same boring routine: wake up, go to school, go home, do whatever, eat, do whatever, then go to bed.

His hands found the bottom of her dress, peeling it over her head, careful not to mess up the curls, he knew she had worked on the night before. His hands working her bra off, mouth clamping down on a breast, she gasped, wrapping one leg around his waist. “Tell me you 've missed me.” He whispered, working his pants down his legs, as she moved her pelvis against him. “You know I have…

His name ringed in my mind continuously as I went to school. Jasper. I had given him another three packs of Skyflakes Crackers and two bottles of water before leaving a while ago. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry because of school, so I wasn’t able to stay and chat a bit longer. I, surprisingly, was able to perform my best on my Filipino quiz a while ago. Despite having only three to four hours of sleep, it was a blessing that I was still on my senses. I felt satisfied that I didn’t have to worry…

Chakotay. I can’t believe she spoke first. I didn’t expect that at all. I honestly thought I was going to have to speak but I didn’t want to ruin the moment. Whatever this moment is. I may not understand this situation but there is one thing I do understand. Whatever our souls are made out of, they’re both the same. Artemis. Neither of aren’t speaking. We have only just met and this feels so familiar. Chakotay Coal feels similar. Whatever our souls are made out of, they are both the same.…

As I was listening during Mrs. Hale’s interview, I was very shocked at all the things this woman had be through throughout her entire life. For a ninety-two year old woman, she had experienced several different aspects of life that most individuals never get the chance to during their lives. I found it very interesting how her childhood played such a huge role on her life and ultimately later on who she became. Growing up, she explained how her childhood was very different for the childhood…
