Someone pushed me and I went tumbling down the stairs. I hit my head on the handrail. I held my head in pain, and that’s when I realized that one very important thing was missing. “Oh no no no no! This can’t be happening” I tried to get up but the throbbing in my head got worse. Kate, who was supposed to be keeping it a secret, was waving my hearing aid in the air for everyone to see.  “GIVE...

Hi, my name is Celeste. I'm from the Bahamas. I never expected to fall in love with my enemy. Isn't that insane? When I was 5 years old my family moved and we ended up living next to the biggest jerk ever. Antonio. He'd pull off heads from my dolls, tug at my ponytails in class and one time he added salt to the lemonade I was selling so everyone demanded refunds.  I couldn't wait to go to col...

Hello, I’m May from Thailand. I grew up in a wealthy family and my parents gave me everything I wanted, except freedom. My mom watched my every move and when she couldn't do it herself, she employed someone to do it. I'm not even kidding guys. When I was 17, I came home from school to find the house full of guests. Uniformed servers were busy loading tables with all kinds of food. "Mom, what's goi...

I switched on the television and started flicking through the channels to see what was on, but  there was nothing that looked interesting. “Oh well, I guess it’s gonna be another boring night sitting in on my own!” “Bang! Bang! Bang!” The loud hammering on the door almost made me jump out of my skin. “Open up! Open up!” I stood up and was about to go and open the door, but before I had a chan...

She’s the one who got my genes after all.” “Are you calling me ugly?” “No. T...

Hi I’m Myra from Kentucky and I lived a pretty average life with my ordinary mom and dad who I thought were good, honest people. I was so wrong. But we’ll get back to that soon.

When I was twelve years old I begged them to let me go to summer camp because I heard that Ron was going to be there and he’d been my crus...

Hi, my name’s Brittany and I’m from Florida. My parents are super rich. We own a huge mansion and I can basically get whatever I want, whenever I want. I had everything.. Well, except, popularity.

I remember on my 15th birthday, my parents had invited everyone in m...

Hi, my name’s Tamara and I’m from Texas. I didn’t know I was famous until my boyfriend finally told me. When I was 10 years old my parents took me to a carnival. We went on one of those rollercoasters where they flash a photo of you while you’re on the ride. Well, as we flew down, I started to feel really sick.. And, well.. I threw up. It’s a pity the automatic sensors for the camera took a photo...

I think I broke my leg!" "Serves you right for almost killing me!...

I was pretty proud of it.  “Oh, that’s cute Abigail, why...

"You have such beautiful hair!" The lady smiled as she passed me in the mall. "Why thank you!" I shook my hair slightly for emphasis. That was only my 50th compliment about my hair today and my ego was loving it!

Hi my name is Erica and I'm from Jamaica. I always thought my adoptive parents were the best people on earth but I was totally shattered when I found out what they were hiding from me.

I was homeschooled and I had every...

“You’re so funny”, I teased my older twin, Hendrel, with a pat on her back. “Yeah. I know”. “But I’m funnier, lol”. Hendrel’s smile suddenly turned upside down. “You think you’re funny? What exactly is funny about you? Eh? Tell me! Tell me how you’re funnier!” “Chill sis, I was just kidding. It’s a simple joke, you don’t have to take it so seriously". “Oh wow, now you’re saying that I overreact al...

Genie and I love each other, but it all changed when my obsession with a boy got between us.  "Ashley watch out! It's coming right at you!" My best friend Holly shouted.

I first met Kim when I was six and I found her alone in our backyard. My scream attracted my mom who came running to see what the problem was and she was also surprised when she saw a strange child in the backyard. She didn’t understand what was happening until a few seconds later when a large sweaty man ran into our backyard.  The strange child laughed as soon as she saw him and he picked he...

I always won, Angela didn't even come close, but one day, she did. Pencils and ripped papers flew in the air and scattered everywhere. I held scissors in one hand and a blowtorch in the other. Angela cowered in a...

Hi there, my name is Madelyn and I’m from Los Angeles. Ever wondered if it was possible for a quiet college student to end up being the most feared person in juvy? Let me tell you how. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I opened my eyes and looked around me. I had no idea where on earth I was, but I knew that wherever I was it was a dangerous place to be. “Help! Help! Let me out of here!” Suddenly I stopped screaming, I thought I had heard a noise, yes, there it was again. “Is there someone there? Can you hear me?” A door burst open and five girls came into the room. I recognised them immediately, they were the p...

"Ahhhh!" I screamed as a slushie ran down my hair and into my clothes.  I spun around and Cassie laughed as she kissed Ryan lightly on his lips. "Did you really think Ryan was willing to go out with a girl like you? Delusional" Cassie scoffed as she made the L sign on her forehead. "It was a dare, nothing more, nothing less. Ryan and I come from the same world...wealth. You will never be one...

Hey! My name’s Amanda, and I’m from Alaska. I don’t have much time to write this, so I’ll jump right into the juicy stuff. A brick came loose from the wall.

Do you wanna know how I ended up escaping a tower? T...
