“how I met your girlfriend...” by Joey Quirino

Submitted to Contest #40

"Hey Lex?" he asks gently, surprising me out of my daydream. "Yeah Noah?" I reply, my voice was just as soft. "How did you meet Twyla again?" he murmurs, running a hand through his messy brown hair. I smile slightly, already being brought back to the day. "It was a nice, slightly breezy, summer day..." I begin slowly. It had been, it was a really nice day when I met Twyla. It had been our freshmen orientation, and I was an utter wreck like I always am. But even more so, my mom had to drop me off early and go off on h...

“Hi” by Charlotte Fell-James

Submitted to Contest #40

Hi, I’m Mae.The words appeared on his skin in a dark ink, the cursive script seaming childlike for all its elegance. It had been accompanied by a small tingle, like a wave of magic running through his veins. His soul, it must be! His mother had said, when she had shown them, THIS was special. In their childish innocence, they had marvelled at the bracelet on her wrist. In her culture, everyone was born with their perfect half, be it a twin, a lover, a friend. This person fitted you perfectly and knew you better than anyo...

Submitted to Contest #40

Mumbai (India) is known as city of dreams. Many come here just to feel its shine and lights which attracts crowd. People come here to fulfill their dreams. Tall high rise buildings with ocean view is breathe taking. One can stand there, fixed on the ground gazing those high rise buildings with awe. What a wonderful sight. But as we say everything everyone has flaws so does Mumbai. Mumbai city’s lifeline i.e. Mumbai Local Train is the flaw. Yes, it supports commuter travelling from point A to B, but ever increasing population makes local trai...

“Anneh And Thambi” by Sze-Ning Chuah

Submitted to Contest #40

Anneh And ThambiI wish the teasing would stop.I thought sadly as I wiped my snotty nose. My hiding spot in the sports equipment storeroom wasn’t very comfortable. But it will have to do, until the bell rings and they go away. Why did Daddy and Mommy send me to this stupid school? They run a business and know many people. I’m sure we have enough money to send me to boarding school, like the children in Enid Blyton books. I also wouldn’t mind going to a school like Hogwarts. It would be far away in England, or was it the UK? I’ve nev...

“ Real friends!” by Tanya Mishra

In 2019, when I was in 5th grade, I was 11 years old. Everything was going just like a usual classroom is supposed to go.But at the start of mid-October, everything changed.Usually, when the teachers change our seats,we get worried who we are going to sit by,if we like that person,and stuff like that.But we all knew each other since second grade,when the school first started and we all came.None but the four new kids, Max, Lucy, Gwen, and Elena were worried.I got put next to a girl named Elena.As I am a very talkative person,we talked a lot,...

“Windkissed” by Emilie Conroy

Submitted to Contest #40

How many years in how many different high schools could she endure? And yet again, she could not fault her father’s logic. In that long ago place, she’d stopped aging at seventeen. In the current century, that meant she would best blend in among high school students. She could stay hidden in reasonable safety. All of it was getting to be too much. She had come to Grayfall for one essential reason, and that reason was to keep existing. But was there something more? She could almost fool herself into thinking she’d finally walked ...

“Giant Wild, Giant Watch” by Marcia Wilson

Submitted to Contest #40

Giants were here first, and they’ve never let anyone forget it. That’s why Jo Killeen expected lip when she blundered in on one feeding birds out of hand in Goodman’s Park. “You can come closer. I won’t grind your bones.” Heather Caw’s tusks flashed in the yellow leaf-light. Heather was her age but much taller; the chickadees rolled in her palm like marbles. She wore purple hospital scrubs and matching athletic headband. You just didn’t see people wearing stuff like that outdoors. Jo gulped. She had ran into the park to hide from Willow...

“December's Nights” by Nicole Escorial

Submitted to Contest #40

You were one pouring human cascade the night I first met you. I was 12, and you were 11. Out on your porch under the glow of the December waxing moon, you looked so fragile. I could hear your sobs from across the road. And I couldn't help myself that night; I stood up from our porch and went to yours.You didn't even look up at me when I approached. Your tears didn't mind me either. I mustered up the courage to ask you what was wrong, and you straight-up told me your iguana died. I told you I also had an iguana years ago, and you smiled. I wa...

“Only you” by Kavita Rawat

Submitted to Contest #40

The summer vacation has started, which means no homework, no studying, no exam. I spend a few minutes of every day planning what I will do once the vacation started. The bomb arrived on the last day of my exam; they transferred my father's work to a remote village for 6 months. Since the school was shut down my father thought to spend the vacation there. This doesn’t stop there until my cousin Meenakshi came with us. She sat beside me in the car covered in a baby pink dress, her Barbie doll placed on her lap.The ride was bumpy beca...

“Outcasts” by Kamilla Rosales

Submitted to Contest #40

I don’t even know why I’m going to this stupid dance anyways. I have no idea how to dance and I hate it. I literally have zero friends at this school. I just moved here with my mom after my dad’s death. He was a firefighter in our town and passed away in a burning house. Everyone in my town thought of my dad as the hero for saving the family who’s house burned. I couldn’t go out without someone stopping me without telling me how “amazing of a person” my father was. I knew that. But he’s gone now. Maybe it’s selfish of me to want my dad, but ...

“ANGEL” by David D'EttoreUser

Submitted to Contest #40

ANGEL Every spring carries with it an aura of promise. The newness can be seen in the tree blossoms, the crocuses lifting their heads above the ground to breathe new air, and the melodic chirping of birds whose song had been stifled by the cold winter. None of this is new, but rather a renaissance of what has occurred many times before. I looked forward to springtime. &...

“Soulmates” by Britt Michielsen

Submitted to Contest #40

"Watch where you're going!", I angrily blurt out as I look at all my papers scattered on the floor. " "Oh, I'm so sorry", the girl that just bumped into me says, almost with tears in her eyes. I sigh as I kneel down to collect my papers. I was expecting her to help me but to my surprise, she only backs away from me. Wow, way to go Talia. You just scared someone you just met. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you", I tell her, making the anger in my eyes slowly disappear. "It's okay", she answers but I just feel the uncomfortablenes...

“Two Strangers and a monster” by Elizabeth Guillemette

Submitted to Contest #40

It was a brisk August night in the city of Calvis, Maine. The moon shone brightly in contrast to the dark forest floor, and the stars glistened above like decorative lights. It would feel like one of those summer nights where a person could go camping with their friends and loved ones, but not for Candy. Candy was a young woman in her mid-twenties, wondering if this summer’s night would be her last. She closed her green eyes and couldn’t help but play in her head what had happened to her a few days ago, over and over ...

“NEIGHBOUR” by Progress Attat

Submitted to Contest #40

They had just moved into the estate. The Ademola’s had tired of the constant issues they faced in their former house. From a broken pipe to a leaking spot on the roof, it got frustrating. Simbira was thrilled. She had never lived in an estate before. Being a very jovial and bubbly person, she was excited at the prospect of meeting new people and making new friends. She couldn’t keep still as her father drove in through the estate gates. At age 10, she was small for her age and had to stretch a little to see clearly out the window. She didn’t...
