“Hey Audrey,” you say to the girl that you have always wanted to talk to. You are afraid that she will ignore you. She turns your way, and you know that you have her attention. Satisfied, you continue. “Would you like to meet up at the park with me and some of my friends for a picnic tomorrow- Saturday-at twelve?” She agrees to your proposal, smiles, and walks away. You breathe a sigh of relief; it went better than you thought it would. You watch her walk all the way down the hallway and turn the corner. She’s so pretty, you say to yourself....

“The Dead Maple ” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted to Contest #46

“Bye mom! I’m driving to writing club!” “Bye, love you! Drive safely!”“I will! Love you too!” I walk out of the house relieved to be away from my mom. I mean I like spending time with her and I love her to the ends of the earth, it’s just that I need a break sometimes and ever since this horrible quarantine, I've hung out with no one but my mom and trust me, that would drive any teenage girl insane. Anyway, I’m going to book club for the first time. I’m kind of scared because I feel like all of these people that are going to be the...

“The Differents” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted to Contest #46

I’m different, and everyone knows it, which makes it even harder for me to cope with. My parent, who is just my dad, tells me that being different is good and is something that I should be proud of, but I just don’t see how I can be proud of being weird. A little part of my brain thinks that it’s really cool to stand out but no one else thinks like that so neither does the rest of my brain. I wish for one day that I could be normal just like everyone else. I’m different in a lot of ways. I have dyslexia, ADHD, and social anxiety which gets r...

“Getting Back in the Game” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted to Contest #46

My favorite thing in the whole universe is basketball. If you asked anyone in the whole highschool or anyone in the world that knows me to describe my life in one word they would say basketball. Basketball was what I lived and breathed, until this happened: During my junior year which was last year, I was leading the team in the normal warmups that we do before every game. This was our last game of the season and we had won all of the others so we were pumped. We ran and stretched like always then started our passing drills. Everyone ...

“Gold Socks ” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted to Contest #46

I can’t believe I really just published a real poetry book. I have to admit that this is the best feeling in the world. All of my heart and soul were put into that book and now, people get to see what happens deep inside my mind through funny phrases and words that mostly rhyme. Some people might think that my book, Golden Socks is not related to real life at all, and I wrote it in a way that it doesn't have to relate to anything to a person, but to me they all mean something important. Every author that publishes a book should have meaning ...

“No Josh. Please, please,” she said through hard, broken sobbs. “You can’t go!” I just told her that I was joining the military. I knew I was going to join and I thought she did too. She is my girlfriend. I thought that she would pick up on something like this, I mean I've been talking about it for weeks, and I have already done all of the training. Girls are so weird sometimes, you think they know something but they're clueless. I know I have to say something to calm her down. I’m bad at comforting people but here it goes: “Anna, it’s...

“Space Fish ” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted to Contest #45

It all started eight years ago, I can't believe it's been eight already. It's been eight years since they took me out of that tank in that horrible pet store and put me on a rocket with the humans blasting off to Mars. It happened like this:One hot summer day, I was swimming in my tank with the other fish like usual. The other fish and I never talk, we just sit there in the freezing cold water waiting for what ever might happen to us. Like every day there were little kids putting their dirty ugly faces against the glass making it foggy and s...
