Hannah’s Story…. Hannah almost groaned out loud as she looked down at the writing prompt. Was the teacher serious? “If you were an alarm clock, what would you do sixty, thirty and ten seconds before the alarm was scheduled to go off?” Hannah groaned. Couldn’t she do some math? Even an additional science project? Anything […]
Nikki’s Story… The girl looked normal enough, if a bit scruffy. Nikki didn’t trust her though. Nikki didn’t trust anyone. She used to trust her parents, but they’d gone and died on her. Killed by a stupid drunk driver! Nikki didn’t really understand what a drunk driver was, only that one had run into her […]
Brianna’s Story…. The teacher was whispering something to the principal. Brianna lifted her head and watched, then looked back down at her paper. As long as it gave her some extra time on her math test, she was unconcerned about whatever they might be discussing. She hated math and subtraction was the worst! Trying to […]
Rachel’s Story… Rachel walked into the classroom, her head down and her eyes focused only on the next linoleum square in front of her. Meeting anyone’s eyes could be painful, so she had learned to focus only on the tips of her sneakers, trying to hide her big toe when it popped out of the […]
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 […]
Angelo’s Story… Ten year old Angelo ignored his rapid heart rate, focusing exclusively on the six guys belligerently standing in front of him. 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 […]
Zayn’s Story… Zayn’s eye caught the movement to the left and he turned all of his attention in that direction. “What’s going on?” Dominic asked behind him, both he and Angelo stilled as they waited to hear what Zayn had seen. “Julia Miller,” Zayn growled back, seeing the smug eight year old with braids walk […]
