- You heard Calvin talking and knew he was doing a video but decided to walk in anyways. You waited until he wasn 't talking and was editing his video. "Cal?" "Yeah?" "I was just thinking that maybe we could do something for a bit." "I 'm kind of busy right now, Y/N," he said. "Yeah, I know, but I 'm just feeling kind of-" He interrupted you. "Fuck. Y/N, can you just go please?" He asked and you could tell he was trying to control his anger. "Maybe you just need to relax and-" "No, I

“I guess this is it then?” My chin starts to tremble. “For now, babe,” her voice breaks. Despite my stooped posture, I lean in and give her the tightest hug I have ever given her. “Thank you so much for everything!” My words muffle against her shoulder. Our clutch is both strong and weak at the same time. Strong, because of the resolve we have in this friendship, but weak because we are unsure of the next time we’ll see each other again.  “You know, I’d do anything for you, Dana!” Tears start flowing

A blonde curtain of hair stands between me and the girl, who keeps her head down and tucked into her knees as if ashamed to be near me. My eyes dart around the room, but all I see is black, black walls, black floors, and the black dress draped over the blonde girl 's pale frame. She looks up and my sister 's face is the one that greets me. "Emma," I want to say "Em, what 's going on?" But my lips won 't move. No sound is heard throughout the room until I hear her voice "Why Alice! Why did you

Oh my god where is Alaina or Carolyn? I cannot wait to tell them about what am I going to do today! I thought to myself. I am a 6th grader who was Cupertino Middle School, early in the morning at 7:30 waiting for one of best friend’s to come so I could tell them something exciting. I had been waiting for minutes in the sun shine with so much excitement and happiness because it was the day where I was going to do something fantastically special! “Alaina, Alaina!” I shouted as I ran across to my friend

Dearest They Are When I was around 13 years old, I noticed changes in my parents and how they acted around each other. I knew something was different. It felt cold in the house. I just thought they had problems going on, and that it wasn 't that big of deal. One day I had just come home from the last day of school in my 7th grade. I checked the answering machine for new messages and I found what I had least expected - a message from my mother 's divorce lawyer. Even though all the warning signs

Every person who comes into your life, comes into your life for a reason. But some people come into your life and have no impact on it; and then there’s other people who come into your life and change it forever. That one person can change your life by doing something small like teaching you how to cook or they can do something even grander such as teaching you the real meaning of friendship. That one person who had a major impact on my life was my Aunt Sylvania.  She was more than an aunt to me

I have lost what was mine. I am a prisoner here where once I was a prince. I am but a whisper in this crowd of confusion. Terror has replaced joy. Hate has replaced love. I am only a thin container holding in an unfamiliar darkness. I pray to the one ray of light in my lonely place hidden amidst the vastness of the world. I plead with it. “Save me!” It never answers. I plead with it. “Give me strength.” I know it can hear me. I know because it always abandons me. I can feel my container cracking

Okay, the plan shouldn 't have been as difficult. Get in, shut the place down, and get out before the alarm blares to possibly kill my eardrums. Things never play in our favor and I should have known that from the beginning. You see, we 're a selected group of kids carefully picked by the government. For what? That 's something we can 't say yet. But we are an elite task force from: S-E: Block 466. At first, we were government guinea pigs then we turned into weapons. Back to the most important person

Raymond Carver’s very short story, “Popular Mechanics” is seemingly set on the east coast or somewhere that experiences cold, wintery weather. Early on it foreshadows the potential of something bad or sad happening as it is dark inside. The couple in the story seems to be experiencing a bit of disagreement as they are separating and the male character gathers his belongings in preparation to leave. Unfortunately, their child was placed in the midst of the split as it is with almost all divorces between
