It’s a lazy summer afternoon at the Wheeler’s house. Pretty usual, being lazy, one might say. It’s a Saturday after all. Meg doesn’t usually love to spend any part of her Saturday tidying up the house and most certainly, doesn’t like the part where its her elder brother who is bossing her around about it. “Meg come on, please just, put those fridge magnets in their place!” shouted Tanner, while unpacking a parcel sitting on the drawing room carpet, sent by their parents.It was from Hawaii. Their parents are research sci...
“Sooo...” he crumples the paper in his hands while looking down the stage. Now, glancing up at the ceiling through his glistening eyes, he puts the crumpled ball of paper in his pocket. It’s not that he doesn’t completely not care for that piece of paper; c’mon there’s some personal stuff on there, he can’t just throw it away, lest he wants someone to tease him about how crazily petty he is. Is he really though? Is it the society which makes him think that ranting about the roles, which pretty much everybody plays, is him being just a...
“But Stella, I need that order to reach LA this evening or our jobs are on thin ice. Zachary adores us, but it doesn’t mean he won’t hesitate to fire us!” Michelle's words sprint out to the other side of the phone as her assistant at the Palette magazine tries to push in a response. “That’s it, I don’t know whose birthday surprise you’re planning today, if you love your job, make the order on time.” With that she ends the call and steps out of her car, slamming the door shut. She’s standing outside a gigantic roadside diner and i...
Spring break at last. The days of some guilt free relaxation at last. The days of endless fun and pleasant breeze. Time to chill at the pools and run your cycles through the lush colourful lanes of bright flowers, dancing with the slightest movements of the wind. Not to mention the picnics at parks decorated with hearty laughs, delicious sandwiches and happy times. Almost a mini Summer. Finally, sometime to spare. But for what else if not for this?Nicole’s POV: What shall one even do in these ...
“Are you coming tonight?” said Warren as he began to walk away from Leah.“Wait!”Is what she couldn’t tell him as he waved bye.“Wait, because I can’t stand to watch you leave.”“Wait, because I want to you to hug me once more, so that I remember your embrace.”“Wait, because everytime you’re around, my heart beats fast and I like it.”“Wait because….you make me feel alive.”
“Hey?” spoke Vy while shifting in the same place on the bench and Sylvie, seated beside Vy, nodded as a reply. Vy tried to gather confidence as she continued, “I- I wanted to tell you something.”“What is it? Is something wrong?” asked Sylvie, a little tensed now. Vy realized that she must’ve sounded a little too serious because Sylvie looked like someone who was about to give a test which they didn’t know was scheduled for that day. So she brings a smile on her face to let Sylvie know that, in fact nothing was wrong. But mind you, ...
“Woohoooo!!” screamed Charlie at the top of his lungs as the wind blew wild through his hair. It was summer at last, again. Time for an actual real road trip. No, not right now, they leave the next morning. This is just a pleasant summer night long drive after their college exam. Almost 19 y/o Charlie screaming and jamming to the music in the car, like a mad lad while his friends did the same, wasn’t something new. The bunch would make random plans at weekends and go on long drives; having the aud...
Dustin, everybody’s favorite, a grade A student, a sports legend(already) , loves all kinds of art and is good at them, popular among all the students at his university. Life could never be better when you are as talented and as intelligent as Dustin. Every opportunity just runs to you before you could even think about finding one. You’d predict he busts his butt in studying for becoming this, awesome student. Yeah he does study but the appropriate amount, other than that, he has a great IQ. As for his art...
“Huff" he goes as he looks around the living room, which had been destroyed with whatever the party people had partied in it with. “Uhm, I don’t think I want to cover your cleaning duties like I did for this month’s rent” said Chloe, throwing a tired look at Miles .Miles and Chloe have been roommates since the last 5 months and a not very interesting fact is that their personal...
