April Scolds: A Fictional Narrative

The morning was foggy and I could see the front of my school through my window. It was a nice sight to see. I walked into the kitchen to make myself a bowl of cereal and there she was with her head down on the table. I could tell that she arrived a couple of hours ago because the tears hadn’t dried from her cheeks yet. I got myself ready gave her a kiss on her forehead and headed off to school. I had walked into class eager to see what my teacher Mrs. Padron had in store for today. Every single day there was something new to learn and there’s something about that infinite nature of learning that really appealed to me as a child. I cherished those 7 hours I spent in class the most I could and I dreaded the mere thought of having to go home where I would have to face the

I was starting my first day at a new school. My palms were sweaty, my heart was thumping, and I had butterflies in my stomach. I took a deep breath and walked towards the grey doors. I thought about what the new school would be like; how the teachers were and how the students were. I missed my friends from my old school. I walked through those big grey doors to a whole new place.

That first day of school that morning was filled with nerves, and heading into the school year.  I was ready as usual and as soon as the bus came, waved to my parents as usual. The bus ride

I look down and blush then he shuts my door and gets in on his side. We sit there for a minute then Cameron asks what my favorite things at the fair are. I mention how childish this is then tell him my favorite things are the rides and their funnel cakes.

“What are you saying?” I ask already knowing the answer. She already has tears forming in the corner of her eyes , “I’m saying that maybe we should call off the wedding for now. Just until you have everything sorted out and everything goes back to normal.”

“Really,” Tilly asked, eyeing Dominique for the trap. They were in the ladies sitting room. “You want me to go with you to Lord Gavin’s”

It was a warm April day with clouds hanging and storms on the horizon. School had just gotten out, and everybody was rushing home so they could start their weekend plans. For most people that included prom, but me and my friends had different plans, which included going out to eat on Friday night. On the way to the restaurant, me and Sara were talking about how my excitement was building in anticipation of receiving my drivers license and talking about our difficult homework.

It was soon the end of August which meant school was right around the corner. I wasn’t too excited, but I was a little anxious to see what God had in store for me. We hopped in the car, and were on the way. I walked into my new school, Country Day, and acknowledged the wind carried the sound of the chitter-chatter of my fellow classmates, lockers slamming as hard as nails and the howling of the spider-monkey. The halls were outdoor and you could see the never ending mountains and feel the gentle breeze swaying back and forth. I enjoyed the first day and couldn’t wait to go back for more. Throughout the day, I met someone special, someone who would soon to be my best friend, partner in crime, my other half, Sibley. She helped me see the good in situations and inspired me to be outgoing and carefree. Our families became best friends and went on adventure after adventure together. The year

"Daniel, what is this? What is even going on and why are we stopping at a cave" He knew I was about to start going into a histaria so he gently grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Thank you," I say, giving Ashley a look. She moves to the back of our small line, Abby still gripping my hand. The two adults enter the house, Skip following after us.

Every single reverie I’d had of him since the second we'd met comes in giant waves, crashing agains the walls of my mind, but the reality, this kiss, blows each and every one of them out of the water. Absolutely nothing could compare to this all-consuming, earth shattering, utterly remarkable kiss. I feel incredibly out-matched and the timid Cordelia who’s taken hold of me contemplates just how much practice he’s had doing this, but I ignore her and focus on his

Today was the last day of school before spring break and already knew what i was going to do. It was a long day today because i was so anxious to leave. The bell rang for the buses and i was the first to leave. I got on the bus and was headed home. Mom and dad were already packing my bags and i couldn't wait to leave. All the bags were packed and that's when we got in the car and headed for the airport to go to Mt. Everest,

Hands on his shoulders, my eyes meet brown, and I swear it’s as if Beau looks right into my soul, seeing the truth I hide there. How I love the tick in his jaw when he is serious. How I love the intensity of his dark eyes, even the slow burn of his unshaved jaw as rubs against my

My boyfriend and I have had a year and a half filled with ups, downs, certainty, and mixed feelings. We met
