“Sasha! You took my shoes without permission again! I’m going to end you!” my older sister Clarisse screamed loudly enough for all our neighbors to hear. She was so annoying. She was eighteen and she thought that she was better than all of us. Three of us lived with my mom; there was me, Clarisse and my five-year-old sister Jenna. My dad was in the army and I hadn’t seen him for years. Anyway, I d...

Over the past few weeks, Steve and I noticed that Mom had been acting suspicious, leaving the room when taking calls and taking her phone everywhere she went. She now had a line of worry permanently etched on her forehead. Steve and I wanted to make sure that Mom wasn’t in any danger, especially since she was a detective for the police department.   "Where is she?" I whispered to my brot...

“How could you do this to me? I hate you! I hate you!” I looked up, I was shocked to see my girlfriend Taylor standing over me, I had never seen her looking so angry before. “What are you talking about?” “Don’t try to deny it, I know you’re cheating on me!” I sat up on the sofa, “Taylor, I am not cheating on you!” “So explain why, when I googled your name this photo of you and another girl came up...

“Shoot! Shoot!” The cries from the spectators urged me on. The goal was insight, adrenaline pumped through my veins, giving me the power I needed to keep on running. Just a few more metres and I would be able to hit the target. “Bang” I went down with a thud, a player from the opposite team had brought me down with a tackle. I hadn’t heard her coming from behind and by the time I saw her it was to...

“Tina, why do you even bother coming to school? Nobody likes you, you’re so ugly!” I put my head down and tried to ignore the hurtful words that were coming from Gina the school bully. She made my life a misery every single day. Why did she have to pick on me? What had I ever done to her? Why couldn’t I be one of the popular girls, then she would leave me alone! I wished I could be someone like Li...

“Hey, Olivia, how did your weekend treat you?” Charlie asked as I slipped into the seat next to him. “Better than Mr. Knights’ Math test is going to!” I responded dramatically. Charlie laughed. Mr. Knights was the toughest Math teacher at the school, and his round bald head and glasses that perched on his nose as he looked over them at you was highly intimidating. I checked my watch. I had about t...

I was sitting on the sofa when I heard a loud knock at the door. I went to see who it was and saw a young woman standing there, she looked kinda familiar but I couldn’t place her. “Hello, who are you?” “I’m your sister!” I looked at her in shock, what she had said made no sense at all, my sister had died five years ago! I was really close to my Mom, I couldn’t really remember much about my Dad. My...

So, you probably have a dad who scolds you when you do something wrong or gives you long lectures about things that don’t really matter. Maybe he has some boring, lame job and does nothing at home but watch television and drink beer. Sometimes he tells pretty awful dad jokes but that’s as bad as it gets. You think you’re pretty unlucky right? Well wait until you hear about MY dad. Now make sure yo...

I watched as Lucas walked along the school corridor, he was so handsome and one of the most popular boys in the school. Everyone wanted to date him, including my best friend Julia and me. “Look who it is.” I said to Julia. “Yes and look who’s behind him.” She replied, giggling. I turned to see who she was looking at, it was Dylan. He was one of the ugliest boys in the school, inside and out! Julie...

“Lisa, what is wrong with you? Why can’t you help Mom? You know she has never asked any of us for anything!” I yelled at my sister. “Exactly! Xara, she never asked for anything so why are you pushing this?” “Because she is your mother, our mother,” Shemar, our older brother, said calmly, “Last year was hard for her. She was sick and because of that she’s behind on her mortgage. If we don’t help he...

“Ooh, what on earth have you got on your feet? Those shoes are so nerdy!” At that moment I really wished the ground would open up and swallow me. I was always getting picked on at school by the trendy kids. I couldn’t help it that I loved studying and wanted to get the best grades I possibly could. You see I wanted to be just like my Dad, he is a very famous scientist, in fact he was the man that...

“Oh Mum, do I have to drink it?” “Come on Natasha, be a good girl and drink your shake.” “But I’m bored of drinking this!” “Come on, you know it’s good for you.” “Can’t I have an orange juice instead?” “Just drink it ok! Stop messing around, I’m not going to tell you again!!” Wow, Mum looks really angry, looks like I’m not getting out of it. I picked up my protein shake and drank it.  When I...

"Mom, I don't need you to go on this field trip with me. I'm not five!" I yelled at my mom as she pulled up to my school. After I said it a wave of regret crept over me. My mom looked hurt but she didn't say anything. We got out of the car and walked towards the school. Hi, my name is Lianne. "Is that your mom, Lianne?" Troy asked as he pointed towards the dairy section in the supermarket. My frie...

“Welcome to your new home. I hope that you enjoy living here. I just wanted to let you know how special you are,” Mrs. Craig smiled at me then gave me a hug. Hi, my name is Tiffany. I had been back at Mrs. Silver’s Orphanage about a year when she called me into the office and said that someone wanted to adopt me. She said that they looked like a nice couple and they didn’t have any children. I tho...

I opened my eyes and blinked, the glare from the bright lights above me blinded me for a few seconds. I looked around me, wondering where I could be. It took a while before I realised where I was, I was in a hospital room. I could hear the beep, beeping of a machine that I was wired up to. The last thing I remembered was waving goodbye to my Mum and Dad as they dropped me off at the bus station. I...

I watched as Emily walked through the cafeteria towards me, everyone stopped to look as she passed them. She was so beautiful, I sometimes had to pinch myself to convince myself I wasn’t dreaming that I was dating her. We had met at school and been together for a couple of years now, she was the perfect girlfriend and I was head over heels in love with her. We were so similar, we even both had the...

"Heyyyyy,” Sasha ran towards me. “What’s wrong?” “Jack is dead,” she said as she wiped her face. "What? What do you mean dead?" My voice almost to hysteria. "Amber just called me and Bruce and Peaches were admitted to hospital this morning." My heart froze. Did this happen because of me? Hey, my name is Cameron. “So do you believe in them?” I asked my mom as I returned Elle, my stuffed elephant, b...

I sat there with nervous excitement at the table in the restaurant. It was the first time my boyfriend was going to meet my family. We had been dating for a few weeks now and he was everything I had ever dreamt of! He was good looking, funny and one of the most popular boys in the school. I couldn’t believe it when he asked me to go out with him. I just hoped that my family would like him as much...

I think I was about 5 years old when I realised my Mum was very rich. Before then I thought that everyone lived in a huge house like me, with cooks and maids and a private driver. I guess you would say I lived the perfect life. My mum ran a hugely successful company and one day it would be mine. My friends were always telling me how lucky I was, I agreed with them to be honest. I had everything th...

“I can’t believe you would do this! That’s it, we’re through!” I stared at my phone, I couldn’t believe what had just happened. My girlfriend Sarah had just dumped me and I had absolutely no idea why! We had been getting on so well recently, I had begun to think that she was the one! I was heartbroken and so confused too. I wondered what could have happened to make her want to leave me. I tried ca...

“Run, Run!” I heard Toby yell from the next aisle. He’d been caught by a security guard. It was a good distraction for me because I had already stolen everything we needed for that night. While everyone else was occupied with Toby, I ran outside and all the way to his small house in the projects. This is where our gang hung out. Yes, I was part of a gang but I’ll tell you more about that later. To...

I saw Tony standing in the cafeteria with a group of his friends, he had been my secret crush for as long as I could remember. My heart was beating so fast at the thought of what I was about to do. I stood there watching him for what seemed like an eternity, trying to pluck up the courage to go and speak to him. His friends said goodbye to him and left, this was my chance, it was now or never. I t...

“Don’t worry, you guys will fit in fine,” our mom said as she dropped us off in the front of the school. My younger brother, Lucas and I looked at each other with a doubtful look. We waved goodbye. “Are you ready?” I asked. He nodded and I draped my arms casually over his shoulder as we walked through the gates of our new school together. Hi, my name is Noah. As I sat in my first class, I could no...

Mom opened the door. It felt as though everything happened in slow motion. The cup in her hand slipped through her fingers. She slammed the door and pushed against it as she struggled to lock it. I stood there, in the middle of the living room, frozen. Hi, my name is Aliyah. If you want to know how we've reached this point, stay tuned! "Did you like the movie?" my dad asked as he unlocked the car....

As I lay under my parents bed with my phone in hand ready to record I could feel my heart pounding against my chest. This was an invasion of privacy and my hands trembled at the thought of what I might hear that night. But what I heard was even more traumatizing than the sounds I thought I was going to hear. Hi, my name is Grace. “Hey, why don’t we play a game of truth and dare?” Camille asked and...
