“The Modern world” by Xiao McdonaldsWorker

Submitted to Contest #83

Chapter 1 I picked up a coconut. I sliced it open. I lived on an island for all of my life with my family. I loved it there. That was why I was devastated when I heard what my mom had said. “Anna, can you come over here?” mom called. I walked over to the tent we made over the years. “Yes?”  “Anna...you’re going to the modern world.” Mom said. “Umm what?” I asked. My eyes lingered on...paper? “Mom...where did you get paper?” My mom showed me the paper. I could read it since my parents taught me how to read. To Annalise Blockwood, Hello...

“Broken and Healed” by Xiao McdonaldsWorker

Chapter 1 “Keefe Sencen!” I heard my dad shout. He waved my sketches in my face. “What's this? I thought I told you to study and not draw useless things!” He angrily said. “Sorry but Fos-I mean Sophie told me that I should do what I like in my life!” I said. My dad tore my drawings and threw it in the trash. “Study.” He growled. I clenched my fist. Horrid family I thought. I dug out a piece of paper in the trash and smoothened it. Foster had requested to draw her. I leaped in front of Havenfield and knocked. “Hello-oh! Hey Keefe.” Edaline le...

Cookie recipe~1~“One batch of chocolate chip cookies.” A lady said, sadly. “Why so sad?” Sophie asked, whipping out her secret recipe. “My son always loved chocolate chip cookies but now he’s.…” The lady said. “Oh.” Sophie said, taking out the ingredients. 10 minutes later, Sophie handed the lady some cookies. The lady bit into one and her face immediately brightened. She smiled and paid for her cookies. Now, Sophie’s cookies were not ordinary. They made each person how they should feel. Like that lady. She was sad and now she’s happy. ...

“The Eve of Disaster ” by Xiao McdonaldsWorker

Submitted to Contest #58

    Prologue (past) I ran outside for recess and hopped on a swing before anyone else got to it. “Can I go after you?” A boy asked. “No!” I snapped. That boy was bothering me about sharing is caring and that other nonsense. He was boring me out so I started swinging. When I went high enough, I could see over the boy’s head, and saw a new girl. She had red, straight hair, and freckles dotted over her nose and cheeks. “YOU NEED TO SHARE!” The boy screamed. I slowed down the swing and got off. “Fine whate...

Submitted to Contest #54

Chapter 1 “Hi Matthew!” I waved. “Hey!” Matthew answered. Matthew and I have been dating for awhile now. Matthew seemed gloomy. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Hazel, can we talk?” Matthew asked. “We always talk.” I said, worried. “Yeah well. I have something to tell you.” He said. “Go on.” I said, slowly. “Let’s talk somewhere. . . quieter.” Matthew said.  We walked into the library, and sat down on the chairs. There was an awkward silence. “We’re moving.” Matthew suddenly blurted out. I laughed. “You?! Moving?! Haha!  That’s not likel...

~Chapter 1~“Zoey! Guess what?! You got accepted into Harvard University!” Mom said, waving a paper in her hand, when I came back from Coffee House. “Really?” I asked. “This is not a hidden camera prank right?” I said, excitedly. Mom gave me a long envelope. My hands trembled as I opened it. “Go ahead and read it in your room.” Mom said. “Dear Zoey Climat, congratulations! You have been accepted into Harvard University! This college will help with your job and knowledge. You will be sharing a dorm with 2 other people. The date for you to...

“Framed” by Xiao McdonaldsWorker

Submitted to Contest #52

Chapter 1 I’m hungry. I thought. ”Hey Courtney, I'm going to get food.” I said to my friend. I went outside, and bought some chicken and coke. On the way back, I saw someone dressed in black ride by with a bike. He was whistling some strange tune. (He can whistle with a mask?!) I skipped in my apartment, and sang, “Courtney! Have some chicken!”  On the floor, Courtney was lying there, with red paint all over the floor. Then I realized it wasn't paint. I screamed. I grabbed my phone to call the police and  ambulance, but my phone ...

“Accidental Superpower” by Xiao McdonaldsWorker

Accidental Superpower I'm Sabrina and I have a superpower. You think i'm kidding right? Well, I'm not. Hm? What was that? Oh. Of course I'll tell you how I got it. "Mom! I'm home!" I called to her, dropping my bag on the floor. "Hi honey!" Mom called back. "I'm going on a walk!" I said, over the pot, boiling. "K." She answered, tasting the soup. I walked out to an alley, where people rarely go, and  sat down, and looked up at the blue sky. When I looked back down, there was a small diamond on the floor, with something that looked lik...
