Be Who You Want To Be

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Kaylee had always struggled with an insecurity of her being overweight. Her parents didn’t approve of her, and to be honest, she wasn’t sure if anyone approved of her.She’d been dealing with it her whole life. One time, a kid slipped a note into her locker, and when she went to open the note, a drawing slipped out. It was of a hippopotamus.At first, Kaylee thought nothing of it. The hippo was kind of cute actually. She didn’t find out until she was older, that the hippo had a whole other meaning behind it. Kids, and even adults like her pare...

downpour

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #106

I would’ve given anything and everything to be out in the tropical storm when I was little. It wasn’t frightening. In fact, it was cool.I would’ve wanted to go jump in the huge puddles the rain was making. When our drain got clogged because of all the dirt and leaves the rain carried in, it created a huge puddle. It was like a pond in our backyard.I would’ve asked Mom to go out and play in the puddles or even swim in that pond the rain created.And she’d say no, to all my questions.She’d tell me I’d get sick.She’d tell me I’d get struck by li...

Undercover Grandpa

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

A.N. The main character, Taylor, was made by Wolf Warrior. Go check her out! And the side character, Brandon, was made by Juliette Ainsworth. Also go check her out! And if you'd like a character in one of my stories, fill out the form in my bio.Taylor absolutely hated going to her Grandpa’s house. All he did was work on the house. The plumbing had issues and he pretended to fix it all the time. The air conditioning didn’t work, so the summers were so hot and the winters were cold.But there was no other place for Taylor to go. Well, there was...

Babysitting Monsters

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Third Person POV Kiyoko sat on the edge of her bed as she flipped through the last pages of her book. A book report was due the following week, but Kiyoko always turned things in on time. “Kiyoko!” She heard her Mother’s sharp voice cut through the silence of the room like a knife. “Downstairs, please.” Kiyoko slid the bookmark in the book before calling, “Coming!”, down to her Mother. She slid down the railing of the stairs; something her Mother always scolded her for, but became a habit. “Kiyoko!!” Her Mother scolded. See? She ...

In My Shoes

Submitted to Contest #105

I was the next Heiress to the throne of Dreamland. I felt lucky. I felt scared. I felt excited. And I felt nervous. I also felt-well, the list would be too long to tell.Dreamland was a magical place, where all your dreams come true. Now that I think about it, that kind of sounds clichè or something someone would tell you when you walk into an amusement park.Let me start again. Dreamland was a magical place where dreams were real. Where dreams came alive. Where dreams were crazy, amazing things. And sometimes they were scary.I felt like I was...

The Alive Museum

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #103

The museum was quiet at night. So quiet, I bet I could fall asleep and never wake up. You didn’t have the bustling crowds of interested people standing in front of you, making you jump up and down to try and see one single painting. You didn’t have the kids that were on field trips making fun of the art or shooting spitballs at inappropriate times.I strolled down the hallways of the museum as I mopped the white tile floors and dusted the statues and artwork, humming to myself and dancing around the maze of sculptures.And then I suddenly bump...

Road Trip Flop

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Every Summer, right when our family, the Levines, gets out of school, we go for a traditional family road trip. In my opinion, the road trips are usually not very fun, and they include lots of fighting and stops. So today, June seventh, is the last day of school and I’m not very excited for the road trip. “What are you doing this Summer? Maybe you could come to my family’s cabin on the lake for a few weeks.” Asks my friend, Caprice. “I’m going on a boring old road trip. I wish I could come with you!” I tell her. “Well, when are you goin...

The Doors Not to Open

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #95

Hannah stood in front of two wooden doors. One was a deep, dark cobalt blue and another was a vibrant, bright, swirly orange. Both of the doors had little notes taped to them that matched the colors of the door. Both the doors intrigued Hannah to go in, but she only had one choice. Hannah walked up to the blue door, pushing her blonde hair out of her emerald green eyes, and peeled the note off the door. It read: Roses are red, violets are blue, if you like the ocean then this door’s for you. But beware of the secret lair, and the mermaid th...

This Way!

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #94

I kicked the little gray, mossy stone into the forest, mumbling things about this stupid trail we’re lost on under my breath. “It’s this way.” Molly switched her direction, away from the creek that would lead to civilization. Molly, my best friend, and I were lost in the woods. We were trying to go to this super cool tree ziplining thing, but on the way there, we sorta got lost. I told Molly we needed to stay near the river because that would lead to civilization. But, I guess she really didn’t want to agree with me. “Molly, come on. We n...

Queen Of Mischief

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #93

Ever since I was little, if I could just get my hands on paint or even toilet paper, I could make the most mischief of all. So, as it was the last day of school, I planned to make the most I could. BRING! The bell that signaled dismissal was so loud but not as loud as all the kids running out of school for Summer break. I could barely zip up my backpack in time to get out of the classroom with all the other kids. I tried to get into a single file line the teachers were trying to direct, but it was no use. I piled out of school with all the...

Clean up, Clean up, Everybody Everywhere!

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #93

The pretzels and popcorn were spilled onto the floor and stomped into the, what once was pristine, rug. Everleigh bent over and picked up red Solo cups and put them into her black trash bag. “Was it a bad idea? Y’know, having a party while Mom and Dad aren’t here?” Everleigh asked. Everleigh and I were twins, fourteen years old, both of us. We’d never gone to a party or thrown one. When Mom and Dad left for Hawaii this morning, we decided it would be a great idea to throw a party. Luckily they wouldn’t be home for a few days, so we defini...

The City Gathering

Submitted to Contest #92

Crowds of all types of people were bustling outside the Brown Bear Coffee Shop in New York. People were yelling at people to move, people were silently on their phones. People were running, people were walking like turtles. And some people turned into Brown Bear to get a cup of coffee. “Hello, how can I help you today?” I asked a man who was staring at his phone, obviously working. “I’ll take a caramel macchiato.” The man replied, still lost in his work. “Okay. Anything else?” The man mumbled something under his breath but I couldn...

An Overdue Library Book That Costs A Vacation

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #91

A tiny, slimy sand flea dug its way up from the shell filled sand and crawled back under the cloud white coral before a big wave came crashing down. I dug my feet in the warm white sand and plopped down on my frilled blue towel. A gust of wind blew sand in my face so I put on my sunglasses and pushed my blond curls out of my sky blue eyes. My oversized black backpack that was surprisingly full, overflowed as I tried to pry my book out of the bottom of the backpack. The cover was damaged from being under all the beach towels, sunscreen, wa...

On The Surface

𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 𝕁𝕒𝕕𝕖

Submitted to Contest #90

All I remember from April 7th, 2008, was the loud crash followed by the sounds of my mother screaming. All I remember was my dad getting my sister and I to a small jet that took us to who knows where. All I remember was running into the small bunker, being frightened and worried.In the year of 2008, we were already having climate change really bad. Terrorists had released a bad chemical into the air, causing the climate to change significantly. Places that were usually super hot, now had icebergs and snow that appeared overnight. Places that...
