“Dolion” by Penny Pepper

Submitted to Contest #260

Amalie was outside waiting for the bus, muddled, when she pulled the arm of her so called ‘friend’, and he turned around.“Okay Dolion. What’s been going on?”“Nothing. Look, I got to get home, I’ll see you later.” And just like that he was off in the crowd of teenagers waiting to get home.That week he and Amalie were supposed to work on some school project that Dolion had even seemed excited for, but then the Tuesday after they got the project he started to avoid her and now it was due that Monday coming up.And how much had they worked on it?...

“A Good Idea For A Movie?” by Penny Pepper

Submitted to Contest #209

This is so stupid. Why do we have to go to the stinkin’ library? “Look, you dad and I have some things to do here. Just sit over there and work on your project.” She was about to turn to the Library’s meeting room when she turned back around with a grin. “and I mean your school project. I’m not going to fall for your tricks again. Love you.” She smiled and walked off. “Love you too.” Okay. Maybe the library isn’t that bad. Besides I need to get that project done. My school one. Not the movie one. I sat down at one of the tables and pulled ou...

“My Walkman” by Penny Pepper

Submitted to Contest #189

“It was so terribly cold. Snow was falling and it was almost dark…” Wrong station. I moved the dial on my Walkman, that can’t play cassettes, waiting for a good song to come on. No documentaries. No politics. No corny jokes. (Although they are funny) No news. Just me and my music. Finally! I turned up the volume. “Now it’s time for Joan Jett’s rock to come and give us some music.” The radio station man said. When the song ended, it was as though a good moment was taken away. “Alright, this new band of 1985, is sure to be great one day.” The ...

“Good Language” by Penny Pepper

A new student? That’s what I get for missing a day of school. I guess I’ll find out today who the new kid is. I’m Keith Hawk. I’m one of the most popular kids here at school. Even though I don’t exactly see myself as it, I know I am. I see people randomly walk up to me and say hi. Almost everyone in the school knows my name whether they like it or not. Today in class I wasn’t really focused. It’s not because I was making jokes across the room to my friends. I was just out of it. I stayed up late last night working on a project.A knock at the...

“The Letter of Magic” by Penny Pepper

Submitted to Contest #176

Dear people of the Future, Before we get started I must let you know that whenever you open the letter and read it, take the crystal and hold it in your hand flat and which ever side of it glows is where the magic power plant is. I was not able to finish the job but maybe you can. I’m not sure when you will find this letter, but hopefully soon. You have all heard tales of witches, wizards, warlocks and such. And I’m sure many have wondered or wished about it being real. You might think, ‘oh how I wish this was true’ or ‘what if its true and ...

“Hitori's Gift” by Penny Pepper

Submitted to Contest #173

Hitori’s birthday is next week, and she hasn’t told anyone about it or gotten all excited either. And I know why. I’m her best friend after all! I’m James. James Tang. Most people call me, Mustang. Get it. Mus-Tang, my last name. It’s kinda stupid, but funny. Anyway, I know why she’s upset. Last year, she got a very special birthday present. It was a necklace that her family had given her, and one day as they were walking in the pouring rain, the necklace got loose and fell. She didn’t notice until she got home though, but by then it was too...
