“love, takeout, and peperomias” by Jessalin Lee

Submitted to Contest #53

She really was getting too old for this.Maeve’s eyes immediately darted to look at her phone as it lit up again. A giggle escaped her as she read the most recent texts. Subconsciously her fingers started to type back a response before she paused. After all, she didn’t want to respond too fast. She busied herself by watering some of her peperomia plants but she’d be lying if she said that the whole time her mind wasn’t preoccupied.

Submitted to Contest #53

“Ooo be careful Janice! Your popsicle’s dripping on the side.” The girl in question tilted her head to look at her popsicle. “Ah shoot. I should’ve gotten the sorbet cup like you.” Janice eyed her friend’s cup enviously before her expression started to morph into a more mischievous one. Karisha caught Janice’s playful stare and shielded her treat. “Oh don’t even think about it. You chose the popsicle. It’s not my fault I have more sensibility.” At this, Janice laughed. “Well the popsicle is such a summer classic. I pr...

His eyes flitted back and forth between the line and the path he had just come from. Ah to hell with it, he decided and became an additional scale...

Submitted to Contest #52

The ghosts of her friends’ drunken laughter floated through the lamp-lit streets and around her head. It had been awhile since she’d gone out...no, actually it had been awhile since she’d had a social life at all. After that incident, how could she? The humid air seemed to enshroud her and slow her footsteps on her path home. But she didn’t mind. Her apartment had become all too familiar and all too...lack luster. No, she didn’t really feel like heading back to her apartment anytime soon. Perhaps that’s why her feet started to go...

“Rick's Barbershop” by Jessalin Lee

Submitted to Contest #33

“Dude! Your hair is getting so long. You’re gonna have a man bun before you know it,” Julien said as he saw me. My shoelaces did their signature slap on the hardwood floors as I strolled over. “What do you mean? The girls dig it,” I said defensively. Running a hand through my hair, I winked at Stephanie who was by her locker with a gaggle of her friends. She scoffed and made a big show of sticking a finger down her throat. “Cut your greasy hair and maybe I’ll let you take me out to that new diner!” Stephanie’s friends laughed, an...
