Autumn’s Story… “He’s hot,” Stephanie exclaimed after Joey Rider was a safe distance beyond their lunch table. Both girls smiled, trying to get the young athlete’s attention. Unfortunately, Joey only had eyes for Autumn, who was too busy reading her book. She was oblivious to his attention. Julia, who was sitting next to Autumn, nudged […]
Cricket’s Story… Cricket Fairchild pulled the books more tightly against her chest, her green eyes huge and anxious. Another school, another set of strangers. Biting her lip, she walked into the classroom filled with new faces and took the only empty seat. She tried not to feel self-conscious, but she was painfully aware of all […]
Axel’s Story… “Hey! Axel, you coming?” Axel glanced over to the left and groaned when he saw his friends. Turning back to Lorrie, he said, “I’ll be right back, okay?” It was a gorgeous spring day and all he wanted to do was enjoy the warmth after the painfully cold, Chicago winter and get to […]
Ash’s Story… “Hold up,” Ash said to his friend, putting a hand in front of him to stop any movement. Jeremy stilled, looking back at Ash. When they were silent for a long moment, Jeremy shifted impatiently. “What’s wrong?” Ash tilted his head slightly. “Don’t you hear it?” Jeremy listened for another long moment. “Hear […]

He’d only been in the neighborhood for twenty-four hours and he’d been expecting this confrontation, but not so many of them at one time. After his parents’ death six months ago, he’d […]

Dominic’s Story…. Ten year old Dominic glared at the boy in the front of the room. What a “goody-goody,” Dominic thought with disgust. The kid had only lived in the neighborhood for a few months, knew nothing of how things were run. Dominic understood that he’d have to give the kid a lesson, show him […]
Marissa’s Story…. Eight year old Marissa watched with sad, tearful eyes as her mother’s coffin was lowered into the ground. She held onto her sister’s hand, but Sierra was only two so she was too young to understand what was happening. Marissa knew. She understood and she was so sad she could barely see through […]
Elana’s Story Five year old Elana stuffed her pool towel under her chin more securely while she watched the ladybug crawl up the rose bush. “Why do you think the ladybug likes roses so much?” she asked Manolita, her father’s housekeeper, as she waited by the pool. Her father had promised to come swimming with […]
Seventeen Years Ago… Rachel Stuart jumped off of the school bus, racing as fast as her little legs could carry her. She waved to her friends as the bus pulled away, but her mind was focused on only one thing. “Is he here?” she yelled out as soon as she reached the stable area, dumping […]
