People all over the world fall in and out of love every single day, and sometimes a person’s love story is not at all how they wanted it to be. This is shown in two different love stories.

Because of their love, they feel that killing themselves is the best way to be together. And in the book Naughts and Crosses written by Malorie Blackman, This is a story of not…

A deep long sigh escaped my lip as I walked into the tunnel, which led to the player’s changing rooms. My eyes watched the spectators gather for what would surely be one of the greatest rugby matches in history. Each of their faces were filled with anticipation and eager for the match to begin but also many had sorrow in their eyes. The match would be one of the saddest matches too as people gathered to remember the coach that had supported so many players throughout their careers, Scott Evans.…

The sounds of rustling leaves and heavy panting were the only things heard as she ran through the forest. That, and the occasional... sound. Graghh! "Come on, Virgil! You have to be faster! Or that, thing, might get us... " A tiny silhouette dashing between tress. A terrier chasing after. Something on their trail. "I'm sorry, Virgil. Once we get home I won't yell at you anymore. I promise!" Awoo! ... When she saw that Virgil was peeing on her pillow, again, she couldn't help but…

Who knew mid April could be so warm. She was already sweating as she started hanging paintings on the walls. Maybe the heat was getting to me. Maybe that’s why I got so angry. I think maybe even the whitewash walls were sweating. “What is the matter with you?” she said with mild irritation. I screamed back with extraordinary force, “EVERYTHING- this house, him, you, me, us!” “Don’t be dramatic”, she says while rolling her eyes, patronization leaking from her pores like sweat. I couldn’t…

Lynna Hong Amy Dickinson English 99 13 September 2016 Go Get It. Period. “[They say] if you want something go get it. Period.” Growing up I was quite the introvert. I was a shy girl who didn’t have many friends and I didn’t go out of my way to make any either. In fact, I actually found myself to be really sad and lonely. I always assumed it was always going to stay like that and there was nothing I could possibly do to change it. I had this mindset that I was just suppose to stick through it…

Snatching my cell phone from the nightstand my eyes bugged at the site of the time. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" Pulling the covers back I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. Instantly I felt Goosebumps permeate my skin as the cold air from the central air system battered my naked body. My clothes-where were they? I was sure my dress was somewhere in this vicinity. I mean, I was vaguely sure I'd tossed it to the left side of the bed. No, it was the right when I considered that I was upside down at…

Undeniable Bond In the heat of the moment we can say things that can cut like a knife and leave a scar that will never completely go away.

Amy Tan explains this with her relationship with her mother in “The Most Hateful Words.” excerpted from her memoir, The Opposite of Fate, published by Penguin Books in New York in 2003. This is a story of a woman and how her relationship with her mother was of one that included…

The Boardwalk Muse I followed the ancient, rickety boardwalk through the rows of corn that went to the ends of my Earth. The early summertime dew had a perfume of light magic that hung in the air like the fireflies that danced in and out of my vision. Pounding against the decrepit boards, my bare feet were getting tired from the running I was doing, but I couldn 't stop now. John was waiting for me near the ocean at the end of the lane, our little spot. Nothing more than a puny fishing…
