“Vonne, wake up,” Dad said as he shook me awake. I opened my eyes and tried to focus on the watch on my hand. It was 5am. Why was Dad waking me up at this hour? “What is it?” I asked annoyed. I sat up and observed the room. Next to my father and older sister, Desiree, were two men. “What’s going on Dad and who are these people?” “Listen, Vonne, I know things haven’t been going right since the deat...

“It’s not fair! You always get everything you want! I wanted to date Liam, he’s been my secret crush for months.” I felt terrible, I had no idea that my twin sister Jade had felt this way about Liam. But it was too late, I was dating him now and I really liked him. “But why didn’t you tell me?” I asked her. “If I’d known you liked him I would never have agreed to be his girlfriend.” “I hate you Ka...

"What the hell are you?” I asked as I backed away from her but also kept an eye on the other woman in the room. Jessica laughed and ignored my question.“I don’t believe you have ever met Howard, my boss.” Jessica looked towards the kitchen and my eyes followed. Howard stepped out of the kitchen and my eyes grew wide. Standing in front of me was 6 feet and 5 inches of pure muscle and brute strength...

"This is soooo good," I said as I licked my lips, "You have to give me the recipe."  Todd laughed, "It's a family recipe my love, it's a secret."  Todd was an amazing cook. He never allowed me in the kitchen and I really didn't mind, being a taste tester was just as important as stirring the pot. Hi, my name is Cherisse. I met Todd about two years ago. When I heard that his family owned...

"Ahhhhh!" Lexi screamed and I jumped. She squeezed my hand tightly. I thought she was going to cut off the circulation of my arm. We walked a bit further and the cool breeze on my face let me know that we were outside the haunted house. "Did you girls have fun?" our dad asked. "It was creepy,” Lexi shuddered, “I don't know why Precious always wants us to go there; she can't see anything anyway." I...

"Read my lips, I will never go out with you," Trina said as she pushed past me to get to her class. The students close by whispered and smirked as they looked on at my embarrassment.

She was always well put together, dated the top jock, and w...

I looked down at Miguel with a confused look on my face as he knelt on one knee with an engagement ring box in his hand, “What are you doing?” I asked. Hi, my name is Kelly and I’ve got a crazy story to tell. My mother, Laura McKline, introduced me to Miguel when I was just about ten years old. We had recently moved because she got a new job. She wasn’t keen on leaving me home alone so she hired a...

I opened my eyes but I couldn’t see anything, everything was pitchblack, I tried to sit up but I was tied down by something. That’s when I realised I had been blindfolded. I didn’t have a clue what had happened to me. But I knew one thing, whatever it was it wasn’t good. I heard the sound of a door opening. I couldn’t hear anyone but I could sense that someone was standing over me, watching me. “W...

My mom and dad went through an awful divorce when I was eight years old. Living arrangements were in favour of my dad while I visited my mother every other...

My life as a teen was pretty cool. I never had to worry about money, had loads of friends, and did pretty well at school too. Some people said I had it all, all except a dad of course. My dad passed away when I was 12, leaving me and my mom alone, though comfortable. Every morning was similar. I woke up 6AM sharp and went on a run. I’d run a block or two, then swing by the bakery around the corner...

Ethan and Sarah walked past me, laughing and giggling to themselves. I could feel my blood boiling inside, what was he doing with her? He should be with me! Sarah had never liked me and the feeling was mutual. I guess you could say we were arch enemies. That's why I hated the fact that she was dating Ethan. Everyone knew that I had always liked Ethan. We had known each other since we were five yea...

As I walked through the halls I realized that something was different. Everyone was staring at me but no one said a word. "Hey, Luke," I said as I stopped by my locker to put my books. Luke was more than my best friend, he was like a brother to me, so when he shook his head, slammed his locker and walked away I knew that something was up. Hey, my name is Richard. I quickly packed my books, closed...

“It’s been fun, but we’re through!” I stared at her, had Amanda really just said those words? “N..no! Please don’t say that!” I pleaded. “I love you.” “Sorry John, I need some excitement in my life.” She said. Amanda picked up her bag and walked out of the restaurant, leaving me sitting at the table all alone. I felt heartbroken, how was I going to be able to live without her? We had only been dat...

I was sitting in the school cafeteria with my friend Louise, it was just your typical boring day at school when Louise suddenly let out a gasp “Where did they come from?” She said. I spun around to see what had caught her attention. My mouth dropped open, I was lost for words. Standing at the entrance were the two best looking boys I had ever seen in my life. They were obviously identical twins, y...

The sound of sirens pierced through the night air, I knew I didn’t have much time. I reached my hand through the broken glass window and grabbed hold of the gold bracelet. I had never done anything like that before, but I was desperate. Suddenly I heard a car screech up behind me, “Put your hands in the air!” Shouted a male voice. I turned around to see who had spoken. Two police officers were sta...

Just then the doorbell rang, and Mrs. Davis got up to answer it, since the staff went home for the night. A few seconds later, Mrs. Davis screamed. Mr White looked at me and said sternly, “Stay here,” before running to Mrs. Davis’ aid.

“Tyler, get to the principal’s office right now!” “No Miss! Please, I’m sorry, I won’t mess about anymore.” I said. I couldn’t get detention again, my Dad would kill me. I was always getting into trouble at school, it wasn’t my fault. All the teachers picked on me, especially Miss Jenkins. They said that I was a troublemaker and I disrupted all their lessons, but it wasn’t true! Half the time it w...

Click! Click! I sat on my bed huddled with a blanket over my head. Another Saturday night at home. I could not wait to move out of my parents’ house to be on my own. But, here I was, no boyfriend, a job that I didn’t like, and well basically no life. Click! Click! Then I saw it, there it was. The one thing that was going to change my life forever. Hi, my name is Mya. “Being an adult sucks,” I mutt...

“Go! Go! Go! Go!” my father shouted at us. We grabbed our belongings and ran to the black car that was parked in the driveway. I grabbed my younger brother’s hand and pulled him to keep up, even though he was as tall as I was. We dove into the car, immediately followed by our parents. “Keep your heads down!” my father yelled as he started the engine. I peeked out the back window at the men dressed...

“No, wait! Please why are you doing this? I won’t say anything, I promise,” Sheila pleaded as she tried to get away from Jason’s firm grip. “I know you won’t. Gag her.” Hi, my name is Aaron.

I was sitting in the park with my best friend Paula when we heard a woman screaming, “Help! Help! My daughter has fallen into the river! She can’t swim.” I looked at my friend Paula. “We have to help her.” I said, jumping up. I ran to where the woman was standing at the edge of the river, there in the water was a little girl about 3 years old. She was waving her arms in the air and crying. I could...

“Please give that back!” Nina screamed. “Not until you do what I asked!” I replied. “I don’t want to.” I opened her pencil case and broke everything that was inside. I snapped every single pen and pencil in two. My friends cheered and laughed while Nina looked like she wanted to cry. When I was done I pushed it all off my desk and onto the floor. Nina rushed to pick up her broken things and I tapp...

Amber walked into the room, she was just as beautiful as I remembered, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She used to go to the same school as me, but when her Dad got a new job they had moved away.

Maybe now I would get a chance to date her....
