I wake up on a couch surrounded by music and scan the room for someone I know. I spot my friends at a table eating French fries. Of course they got some French fries. I sit up and stumble over with a pounding headache. “Hey, where have you been?” asks Atom and Aero as I recognize that we’re still at Phoenix. “I was umm…” I stutter. “I, uh actually don’t know.” “What do you mean?” asked Aero. “You were on the dance floor one second and gone the next.” A smirk grows on his face while my suspicion grows

Today is the day. I am going to Canada with my brother, Justin. We have packed for two weeks worth of things, and we are very excited to go. “Justin!” I called out. “We are going to be late!” I exclaimed. “Just a minute, I am finishing up on packing!” He exclaimed. I walked downstairs to go see if there was anything I could help with. I walked into Justin’s room and found him playing his Xbox. “I thought you said you were packing…” I said suspiciously. “I was…” He started to explain. “Let 's

-Flashback- "Come on Madison lets go play" Nathan smiled pulling me up from the couch. I sighed and followed him outside to where the other pack kids were playing. Cameron looked over and smiled running over to Nathan and I. "You guys want to play catch with me and the guys?" Nathan grinned and nodded dragging me along. "Ok so let 's pick team captains." One of Cameron 's friends happily volunteered along with Cameron and they proceeded picking people to be on their teams

“Just try it. It couldn’t hurt to try,” my high-school advertising teacher constantly reminded me. Mrs. Panarelli wanted me to apply for a scholarship given by the business department in my school. I thought about all the other applicants; I had no chance whatsoever. I decided to express my feelings to her. In doing so I noticed a solemn look come across her face. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, “I don’t want you to be intimidated by the other students, their averages, or their SAT scores;

“Brooke, this will be the third time you’re late for school if you don’t hurry!” Mom started yelling up the stairs.“I’m coming, I’m coming mom!” I quickly grabbed my backpack and scurried down the stairs. “The bus is here, I’d hurry if I were you.” My mom hugged me as I slid on my shoes. As I ran to the bus my mom called out, “And don’t forget to be nice!” Once I get on the bus I look around for a seat, I look around and see everyone who is by themselves put their backpack next to them. As I start

Turbulent Times *edited* "Do not go", a soft voice came from behind. I turned back and smiled. I looked deep into her eyes, and even before my lips parted, she blinked her eyes in affirmation. Acknowledging my unspoken words. I always adored her for this. It was kind of some mystical power that only we could understand. It was like our own, personal magic. We always had such a good connection, at least in the past. I stood there, near the door, for a while, perplexed, befuddled or may

" Do not go", She said. I turned back and smiled. I looked deep into her eyes, and even before my lips parted she blinked her eyes. Acknowledging my unspoken words. We always had such a good connection, at least in past. I stood there, near the door, for a while, perplexed, befuddled or may be in retrospection comprehending what happened a few hours ago. In my thoughts, I was speaking to myself, screaming at times. “Don 't trust people. Don 't open up. Don 't break your moral code of silence

Chapter Fifteen: A Cave Full of Chaos “Madison, wake up.” Seth was shaking my shoulder. I could hear the drip, drip, drip of the dew trickling down the cave wall. In the distance, the sun slipped behind a dark green mountain turning the sky a pale maroon. I couldn 't move. I glanced around trying to fight my way back out of the groggy trance. Twist, Jacob and Ryan sat with their backs against the wall of the cave. We were tied up on the other side. Two guys with dark sunglasses stood guard at

Weeks had passed. I never called Bailey and Bailey never called me. I went on a few dates with Ray. Well, more than a few. Ray had decided to stay and live with his aunt in town, but he never told me why. He also decided to enroll at one of the four high schools in town. I asked him to enroll at mine. I found out more and more stuff about Ray: He was seventeen. He has two brothers, both older than him, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I never slept with him. I was never in his bed again. Ray was

Becca was fast asleep when Caleb pulled into her driveway. He dug through her purse for her keys and hurried to unlock the front door. He took Becca into the house and walked up the stairs to her room. He laid her down on the bed. When she rolled over and got comfortable in her sleep, he figured she was out for the night. He took off his tuxedo jacket and hung it over the back of her desk chair. When he turned around, she was starting to sit up. Amazingly, her hair was still in a tight bun. With
