There I was in eleventh grade in my final month of school that year. I was sitting in the front row near the door of my Math Inquiry classroom, just behind the foreign exchange student from Japan and my friend Eryn. I found Math to be the most difficult subject in school for me, always getting C’s and D’s on exams and never comprehending anything that was told to me. Which is why I was put in the Math Inquiry class in the first place with a teacher named Ms. Dickey. Math that year was beyond difficult

I felt terrified for what that entails. When he asked me for the first time if I would be his girlfriend, my answer was no. Even though I told him no, he kept asking me several times after that and every time, I still said no. It hurt me a lot to say no and I know it hurt him just as much. He knew that I liked him and I knew that he liked me, but in the end, my thought was that the relationship would not work out. A couple of months later, in December, I went on vacation. I realized then that I had

were. Since he was the “step-kid” my dad thought it was okay to blame everything on him and treat him bad. When I was little it didn’t seem to bother me because I didn’t know what was going on but when I hit 4th grade is when I started realizing how hurt my brother was by how my dad was treating him. It started making me angry when my dad would do that because to me I didn’t see Michael any different. Yes, he may have a different dad but he’s lived with me my entire life that I didn’t see why my dad

I couldn’t fight back because I didn't want to hurt the baby. I felt like trash, like I meant nothing, I should've just left then, but I couldn't she still was pregnant. I couldn't testify against her in court because we wouldn't be able to afford it, and we were still married so I wouldn't be able

Men know deep down that a woman has emotions attached to an affair, whereas we believe we are detached from serious emotions when we do the exact same thing. If I could make Karen believe that I was capable of letting her grow as she saw fit and totally count on me to be supportive even at the risk of my personal feelings, she would ultimately be loyal to me. Or, at least loyal long enough for me to play house with her without too much emotional damage. The worst-case scenario would be if Karen

When I was a child, my mother kept her runes and tarot cards in the headboard of her bed. Sometimes I would go into her room, climb onto her bed and pull them out, carefully untying the sink coverings and look at each card, wondering if they could tell me my future. I was young, and I didn’t understand their meaning. I thought pulling the death card meant you were going to die, I thought the fool meant you were going to do something stupid, and if you got the Queen then you were going to spend the

Maybe I was overreacting, maybe I wasn’t. How could it be him? I thought he was gone, but I guess I got so caught up that I never realized he could have still been alive. “H-hello?” I said quietly through the phone. “Hey Y/n, it’s me.” said a familiar voice through the phone. No. It was not the voice of my father, but I recognized the tone. Still, not knowing who it was, I replied very quietly in the phone, while Sophia and Ayla were playing with Mike on the bed. “Who are you?” I asked sternly

Nothing could express how I felt except one word: Confused. None of it made any sense; Vic didn't actually like me, he was angry, he was straight, hell I'm straight, or at least I thought I was. But... maybe I'm not. After Vic kissed me, I was left speechless as he sighed and disappeared. And here I am, a week later with no sign of Vic. He hasn't even bothered coming back to the dorm and he's never in class or at meals. Part of me was starting to wonder if he had left the school completely, but

Everything I Ever Needed I remember the rattling and squeaking of the bunk beds as we jumped around laughing. My room was basic except the bunk beds that I found fun in many different ways from jumping off the top into pillows to pretending the floor was lava with my siblings, those memories will never leave my mind. With my brother, David Gaipo Junior, being ten years older than me it was hard to connect at times, but I could look up to him and learn without him even knowing. One difference was
