"Hello!" I waved to Arianne. She waved back and headed in the building.I walked into my classroom to be greeted by my teacher, Miss Stafford. "Hello!" I greeted her."Good Morning," she answered. "Have a seat, please, Elisa. We are going to do something very special today." I thought she looked very pretty in her silk, flower dress, and blue flats. As soon as the class got settled down, Miss Stafford started to describe what we would do today."Students! Today we are going to meet our idols! Our role models! Our heroes!" she gets very exc...
"Seriously!" I yelled. "You have got to be kidding me!" "Honey, that's an order," my father said firmly. "It'll be a nice thing for Connie and Sydney." He tried to hold my hand, but I pulled it away. My father was talking about Connie, my step-mom, and Sydney, her 13-year-old daughter. Sydney's three years younger than me and is an annoying VSCO girl who thinks she's really cool and is better than everyone else. "AUGH! Fine!" I screamed, storming off to my room. I found my phone to call Charlotte to cancel our plans for tonigh...

This world is full of secrets. Some people love them, and others don't. There is one specific place full of secrets, and that's an academy. 6-12 grade Williamsburg Academy for Young Boys and Girls, to be precise. It has so many secrets that it might as well be called Secrets Academy. Everywhere you look people are whispering, who likes who, what the lunch ladies put in the student's lunch today, and what secrets Jackie Ferrel is keeping. Jackie Ferrel is the quietest and smartest girl in the whole school. She's in tenth grade, and she has se...
Once upon a time, there was an ugly and foolish princess. Yes, she is the main character of this story, she can be ugly and foolish if I want to. I'm the narrator. She loved animals and cared for them but the animals would not go near her because of her face. Her father was a king so he was very rich, so he would buy her the prettiest dresses and shoes, but that did not matter to her. She just wanted a beautiful face. She hated her ugly tangled black hair and hated her ugly face filled with scars and burns from when she accidentally fell int...
I live in a society where I shouldn’t exist, I’m illegal, and if I’m found I would be killed and my parents would be executed or fined for 100 million dollars, a thousand times less than mom and dad would make in a year.

Mother was pregnant with me when the law got passed, so I was forbidden. The government told her to abort me but Ma wouldn’t. She gave birth to me in secret an...

I'm running, well, more like stumbling as fast as I can. The forest is rushing past me. I look behind me and gasp. Fluffy is still bearing down on me. She roars and it makes my knees go weak. I feel a painful pinch on my foot but I pay no attention, I have more than enough things to worry about. As she gets closer my mind clears, I'm not sure why. Maybe because I knew there's no escaping her or maybe I know it's only a matter of time before I die. As I slow down I remember, there is no way anyone can outrun a grizzly bear. My brother arrange...
