As I screamed out to Jacob I knew it was to late as I watched…

Driving through the streets of Brisbane to the highway, I start to think over Alice’s and my relationship. “You should come over this weekend. We can work on our project.” I messaged her late at night. “Okay, I’ll ask my parents.” Alice answers quickly before confirming she can. On Saturday morning, she arrives at my house. We work on our project, have nice…

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

”she said. I replied with, “It’s okay. As long as I am away from that incident.” I sat down on the black La-Z-Boy recliner chair, while she sat down on the couch. “Want something to drink? After all of that running, you might want some fruit punch.” said Miss Understood. “Yes, please, that would be delightful.” Miss Understood got up and brought back a 2 full glasses of fruit punch, one for me, and one for myself. “Thank you.” I said. “No problem, I’m happy to have you here.” Five minutes…

"Temmy, you are no good." "You will just humiliate yourself in front of the judges." You are not pretty and there are lots of people that are prettier than you who are also auditioning." All these words start pouring through my brain and made me freeze onstage. Looking back now I realize how foolish I was to let those people get to me. I gave them the power to ruin what could have been a fascinating period of my adolescent life. My mum tells me these all the time: "those that call you names,…

Carmilla. "I 've been watching 30 Rock...it 's pretty funny. Last concert you went to?" Carmilla rested her chin on her fist. "Hmm, my dad wouldn 't let me go to concerts. Over protective dad remember?" She laughed at herself. Kirsch came out with their food after they finished the first half of their game. "Okay, burger medium-rare for mysterious hottie, and a grilled chicken wrap for the little nerd hottie. If you need anything else let a bro know!" They ate in silence mostly. Laura kept…
