“Testing Love ” by Cindy Alexa

Submitted to Contest #64

My father hated my boyfriend. Said Ryan Hotchkiss didn't deserve me. That I came from a family with an impeccable reputation. And that Ryan's family was tainted. When I asked why he didn't answer. How did he expect me to listen to him when he gave me no reasons to? It didn't help that I fought with Ryan this afternoon. Who could blame me? After all, he had the reputation of a player. A heartbreaker. Maybe my father had a point. Truth is, I kept waiting for the moment he left me for someone more adventurous. More fun. Instead of being wit...

“After Dark” by Cindy Alexa

Submitted to Contest #60

I failed at following one rule, and this happened. A girl my age pointed a gun at me for stealing her boyfriend. "I've no idea who your boyfriend is," I said in a low voice. I tried to sound calm, but the truth is, I feared for my life. Why did I have to wander that far from my own campsite? Because I wanted to see… "Zane! You idiot." "Oh." I got it then. The guy who rescued me from the Rabids, a kind of blood-thirsty creatures, was this girl's boyfriend. He kept me in his room to look after me while I recovered from the at...

“Secrets Unkept” by Cindy Alexa

Submitted to Contest #55

"Can you keep a secret?" a familiar voice said. It belonged to my friend Ella Ross. My hand stopped midway to my mouth. What can I say? I had a crush on cookies. And I had a tendency to steal them. Hence the reason I found myself in this situation, listening to what I shouldn’t have. Holding my breath, I waited for Ella to continue. What else could I do? I really have to stop stealing the cookies, I thought. "You know I do," my other friend Michaela James said. I pictured her rolling her eyes. We knew how tight to her c...

“Once Upon a Friendship ” by Cindy Alexa

Submitted to Contest #54

Because of me, my mother thought the worst of my best friend. Well, she was no longer my best friend. I made sure of it. I pushed her away. Because it was easier than telling the truth. I stole money from my school and blamed her for it. Who did that? I was an awful person, I know. But in my defense, I felt trapped. And any decision looked terrible. Meaning I threw my best friend, Amanda James, under the bus. It haunted me, what I did. And now that it was our last semester in high school, I couldn't stand the thought of Amanda resenting m...

“Unveil” by Cindy Alexa

When you do things to please others, you lose. I know because that's what happened to me. It was my wedding day. The best day of my life, according to what people say. But the best day of my life it was not. In fact, it was the worst day of my life. Because, I watched, frozen in place, as my mother and my fiancé shared a passionate kiss. I realized right then, how horrible my life was. I felt tears sliding down my cheeks. The future I thought I wanted, just died a painful death. How did I get here? Well, I got here by making one wro...

“Violet” by Cindy Alexa

Submitted to Contest #50

This was just awesome. I couldn't believe this was happening. My parents sucked big time. That was for sure. Stomping across the backyard, I made my way to our tree house. I frowned. I hadn't been there since my little sisters took over the place. Not that I cared anyway. If the place was a mess, it wasn't my fault. Why did I have to clean it, and babysit my sisters at the same time? With a huff, I climbed the steps to the tree house. My earlier conversation with my parents on repeat. "Sorry, honey, but you've got to stay with...
