“love, takeout, and peperomias” by Jessalin Lee

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.

She hummed and swayed to the invisible soundwaves of a sweet melody be...

“Popsicle Trails ” by Jessalin Lee

“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.

The humid air seemed to enshroud her and slow her footsteps on her path home. But she didn’t mind.

“Rick's Barbershop” by Jessalin Lee

“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 stick...
