“The Unchosen Path” by Michelle Thomas

Submitted to Contest #196

“Would you go out with me, Melissa?” It was a simple question… but it came from the most unexpected person. Chad was a good friend of my older brother, and on the varsity football team. The position he played was a linebacker… whatever that was. I’m not familiar with sports terms. He was on the shorter side, but still taller than I was and stocky. Chad’s dark hair created beautiful loose curls as it grew out, and his grayish-blue eyes could make any girl melt. And that’s what they did. As a person Chad was very sweet, but he wa...

Friday, May 17th: “Dear Diary, Well, it finally happened… Austin Parks asked me out on a date! This has been my dream since the first grade. I can’t believe it’s actually happening! How did I get so lucky to be asked out by the captain of the debate team? It doesn’t feel real. Austin may be a nerd, but he looks like he could be a supermodel. His long brown hair and tall, muscular build giving off Clark Kent vibes. Glasses included. I can’t compare with my short and frail looking figure. My body having no curves whatsoever.

“Fortuitous Love” by Michelle Thomas

Submitted to Contest #137

The harmony? The melody? Maybe it’s the combination of the two… It’s the same thing that makes the clouds seem brighter on a rainy day. It makes a bad day seem better no matter the situation. A rose is more than just a rose like a song is more than just a song. It’s love. I was a tomboy growing up. Preferring jeans and tshirts to the typical leg...
