“You wanna have some fun?” by Karen Stinson

Submitted to Contest #114

“You wannt do something fun?” Wolfie asked with that mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Out of all four girls, Cindy Eglet, nicknamed Eagle, because she saw everything; Elise called Shakes after Shakespeare because she was a great story teller and could get them out of oodles of jams; Bella was called Bug because she was small and shy and could hide like a little bug, and Analise Wolfington, Wolfie, she was the one to find trouble. Together they had adventures, and tonight was Halloween . . . the perfect night for an adventure.&...

“The Burning Fame of Jealousy” by Chelsea Minjarez

Submitted to Contest #114

“You wanna do something fun?” I turned my head toward Marina’s voice, my eyes still closed to the sunshine. “No. Like what?” I felt her roll closer, our sleeves brushing against each other and her book nudging against my ribs. “Let’s go to Kaz’s house and see if his dad will let him out early today.” My heart fluttered. “Kaz’s dad never lets him out before 5 PM, you know that.” “But maybe he will if we ask?” I opened my eyes to give her a pointed look. “You’re right,” she groaned, throwing an elbow over her eyes and nearly smacking my ...

“You should take your meds” by Tanya Prosser

Submitted to Contest #114

CW: Mental health, mature language“You wanna do something fun?” she whispers to me in her sing song voice. It catches me off guard- it was just us in this little space, and we had sat silently for a long stretch by her standards. I had been fooling myself thinking that today would be any different. She would have to break the silence, uneasy with us just sitting idle. We were such different creatures.She smiles and talks to everyone, a social butterfly who lives for fun. Making jokes and keeping people laughing, with a natural...

“The Higley Copper” by Cart Wright

Submitted to Contest #114

"You wanna do something fun?" Andrew asked his brother Christopher. "Yeah like, what?" Christopher answered back while rifling through a magazine. Christopher and Andrew were brothers 17 and 16 years old. They had no school today due to parent-teacher conferences. Christopher suggested to Andrew that they get their metal detectors and check out some of the old cellar holes that they had plotted out on the old maps they had found online. The brothers agreed on a spot and packed their metal detectors and shovels in the car, and each grabb...

“"Fredom"” by Eimantas Brundza

“You wanna do something fun?” Mitch glared over a man and his tattoo on top of the forehead saying “fredom”. “Shoot, mate.” He raised a glass of orangey-purple stuff and downed it in one go.20 hours later....Nearby car's alarm rang like a thousand megaphones tied to his ears. With one honking at an intersection and another one bloating away with its bloody sirens on.Mitch eyes flipped open and he inhaled like a whole soul would be coming back to his body. Rolling off a mattress his back ached and his foot flopped onto a soggy carpe...

“Please Fasten Your Seat Belts” by Evangeline Richards

Submitted to Contest #114

“You wanna do something fun?” Jacob pulled his bottom lip down showing Caleb the inside of his mouth, wet and red. Caleb closed his eyes as he drained his coffee cup and placed it on the table in front of him. Jacob’s eyes hadn’t moved from Caleb. The tannoy sounded, “Passengers for Madrid now boarding” and the wheels of a suitcase rolled past them. Caleb said nothing. “I’ll take that as a no then?” Caleb smirked. “Your kind of fun or my kind of fun?” “Bit of both.” Caleb sighed. “Jacky we’...

“You wanna do something fun?” Sandra had barely approached the table outside the cafe when the words tumbled out of Max’s mouth. Father Max, Sandra reminded herself, glancing at the white square adorning his neck. “You’re not dragging me to Mass are you?” Sandra asked with a smirk. “And you can’t lie and tell me you’re not, then be all ‘Surprise, it’s church time!’. That’s a sin,” she added teasingly. Father Max laughed and ran his fingers through his dark hair. “Come on, don’t you know me better than that by now?” He stood, chugging the ...

“The Most Fun Night Ever.” by Polly D

Submitted to Contest #114

You wanna do something fun? Let's get dressed up and go out for a fancy dinner! Can I borrow this skirt and maybe some earrings? Does my hair look okay? We look amazing and so does this champagne. What a beautiful restaurant! We have come such a long way since college-we are officially adults having dinner in a place like this. I pick at my food- preferring to focus on the bottle in the bucket. "Priorities Jenny! Priorities!", I tell myself. LOL. The bill is a little more than I expected but whatever- YOLO! Our friendship knows no bounds- an...

“You wanna do something fun?” I looked up at Janie, red, slick hands wiping the jean windshield that was my narrow thighs. I could see the heave in my chest, feel the bones rattling in my neck. Her eyes were bright and crazed, and standing up at this moment felt like lifting a car. Still, I stood. “Something fun, huh? More fun than this?” I gestured to my torso. The broken skin mixed with torn fabric and blood reminded me of the inside of a strawberry danish. Talk about taking a bite out of life. I could sense her resolve, an...

Submitted to Contest #114

PRESCOTT ACADEMY Do you wanna have some fun? I had just started to put my belongings away in my room at my new school when a group of boys appeared noisily in my open doorway. One kid in the front spoke up, “do ya wanna have some have some fun?” I was a little shocked but I replied, “maybe later. I’m kind of in the middle of settling in. I’m Josh Farris.” “Oh we know who you are, we’ve been expecting the new kid.” I’m Ben Harper. I’m Head Boy for the 3rd Floor. I’m the guy you need t...
