Smile

An autumn afternoon, a watercolor sunset streaked muted pastel shades across the sky. It was a bitingly cold chill that belonged to winter. My eyes were focused on the Manhattan skyline, a beautifully grotesque thing. Nature, half obscured by looming manmade structures. I wasn 't sure what was uglier. What an outlandish thought, to find nature so unnerving. I had been so preoccupied by my own devices that I hadn 't noticed a small girl on a crumbling concrete stoop, her eyes intently focused on…

trees can really kill a spirit but a real friendship always seem to balance the bad in life and make it better. There are some people that make you laugh a bit louder, smile a bit bigger, and help you be just a bit better than you were yesterday, back then she was always that person.The way we posed like statue brought an unexpected smile we literally took hundreds of pictures that day. I can still smell the beignets we ate that day ,the powder was smeared all over our face and clothes. All…

lively smiles and within seconds we were greeted by this handsome young man wearing a vibrant orange polo. “Hello ladies how are you?” he asked in a bubbly voice. While smiling I eagerly said, ”We…

“Yeah, I’m right behind you.” I reassure her with a fake smile. Once she is gone my brow furrows and my mouth draws into a frown. Why didn’t I feel anything? I mean come on.. If this place was so horrible then shouldn’t I be able to feel something?These are just some of the thoughts racing through my head as I…

There is nothing better than seeing a smile transform a frown. Our shift is coming to an end, and we sit on the counters of a cramped room in the basement of a hospital. We laugh and joke around, creating in one night, enough inside jokes to last a lifetime. Our best florists open the flower-filled storage and begin the task of forming two modest vases. These vases are not for us, nor are they for sale. Once finished, they will be brought upstairs and presented to a patient. The expertly…

The late bell rang, signalling the start of class and the end of me and Dylan’s conversation. When class ended we went our separate ways. We rarely saw each other in the hallways, but when we did, we would smile at each other or make goofy faces. Dylan made me feel like I wasn’t a total reject and that I was normal and nothing bad could ever happen to me. But bad things always happen to me. At the end of the day, I walked into journalism a little later than…

My head was spinning all over the place. It felt like I’ve been punched on my head several times with a brick; I felt consciously blind. I was breathing heavily like I’m gasping for air. I couldn’t move much but hear weird noises echoing repeatedly through my brain, I felt myself moving, shaking back and forth, ‘’Monica! Monica! Can you hear me?’’ I felt myself flat on the floor and I could feel a cold breeze touching my soft delicate skin. Why did he let go of me? Why has it gone silent? I…

We did the same routine as the last time, yet I still did not feel confident. Actually, I was more nervous than I was the first time. Before I went into the testing area, my dad gave me a thumbs up and a big smile once again. I gave him the same one in return, but mine was with less pep in it. I listened to the voice over once again and still, I could not seem to stay focused. My attention switched to the walls and the old license plates again. It took me approximately…

I stood awkwardly in the living room with a bunch of Ariana 's friends and family. She sat beside me, holding onto my arm. It was Thanksgiving and she invited me there, since my family never celebrates Thanksgiving, I decided to go. "Yeah, we 're leaving for Michigan tomorrow to go meet my dad." Ariana smiled, looking up at me. "Are you nervous?" Mac asked her and she nodded her head fast. "Of course, I haven 't seen him in five years. I wonder if he looks different, I want to know what his…
