“I am too.” Quickly she thought of a different topic,” I never learned your sister’s name.”

“Terry, do you realize you’re talking out loud?” his mother asked while she turned the page of her magazine.

The pained expression on his face gave me a start. Not the expression itself, I’d seen him make that face plenty of times—usually for something I did. But this time he was actually worried about me.

I replied in amazement “I'm your son and Sally Hemmings is my mother I am now sixteen and I wanted to know why you couldn't be with my mom.”

“Likewise.” I wasn’t happy about giving him my sweaty palm but he sort of threw me off balance. I didn’t expect that. “Elsa, my name’s Elsa.”

So I was concerned when I started playing LoL that I’d really struggle to focus on a main, however I actually find it super easy and I think it’s because I absolutely throw myself into it 100%. I’ve gone for Renekton as my first main, and I’m watching as many VODs as I can, reading guides, practicing combos in training tool to try and be as good as possible. Idk how much you do any of that, or if you just queue up and play. Really delving into a champ and trying to be as good as I can on them helps me stay to

Growing up, people always called me the “smart one.” I read books all the time, earned high grades, participated (and did well) in multiple academic University Interscholastic League events, and even made a twenty-five on the ACT at twelve years old. The first time that I did not know what I was doing academically, I felt like a horrendous failure.

My English proficiency improved as I entered second grade, and by third grade I tested out of “English as a second language” classes at my school and I placed into honors English. From third grade all the way until eighth grade I continued to place into honors English but part of me was still the insecure six-year old from first grade. My test scores indicated that I was advanced and capable of being in an honors class but I didn’t have confidence in my own intelligence. The reason for my success to that point was due to me wanted to prove to everyone that I was brilliant just like everyone else and that it didn’t matter that at one time I didn’t know English. Somehow, I convinced everyone about my scholarly ability, everyone except

“Hi! My name is Astrid. I like your teacher,” I introduced myself with. Of course this brought some laughter. I meant to say that I liked her t-shirt, not her teacher. This words were painfully similar at the time.

His eyes are so dark, so cold, so empty. He’s not in there anymore. The man I got engaged to is nowhere to be found in the body in front of me. I could always fight back. I should fight back. I know I could land a solid hit on him and be able to run. Right now, all I need to do is hit him right…

"That 's just my nickname for her," Dad replied. He was always harder to hear whe they fought. The angrier Mom got, the lower his voice dropped. For some

I was never the most intelligent guy at my school. More of the quiet loner that was known for "raging," as the guidance counselor called it, whenever someone annoyed me too much. There was even a case where I nearly killed someone for cutting me. Go figure that some jerk pulls a knife on me and the anger-management kid gets all the blame for starting a fight. Typical. So I had problems, I'm over

He walked away backward with a devilish look on his face, I couldn't shake the thought that if I met him in the courtyard after school today I probably wouldn't make it home without a few bruises. But I would probably get a beating ten times worse if I didn't show up I didn't know if I was going to be out late or not so I called my mom and told her that I was spending the night at a

“Yeah, sweet name. I liked it,” he chuckled, tapping her name plate with his pinky finger while his thumb touched his breast. He did that knowingly. Both felt they’d connected with each other. That

Almost immediately, the person obeyed, and came out from the hiding place. Before me emerged a beautiful boy with bluish-green eyes and a muscular figure. For a minute, I couldn’t feel the pain in my leg, because of his glamor, and almost felt sorry for screaming at him.
