“Seven-O-Two” by Grant M

Submitted to Contest #81

Matt was dicing tomatoes when Leo burst back into the kitchen, cradling a stack of dirty dishes in one arm while he kicked open the door with his right foot. “I think I know the girl at seven-o-two,” said Leo, setting his cargo down on the counter beside Matt’s cutting board. Matt gave the mess of plates and bowls and half-finished entrees a quick, side-ways glance—careful that it seemed a somewhat critical movement—and went back to his work. “Seven-o-two,” said Matt, “two salads,” with the edge of his knife he tidied up...

Layla brushed her fingertips over the photo on her corkboard and smiled. Her corkboard, like most teenagers, was covered in photos, admissions tickets, anything that added to the collection of memories that made her happy. Images of beach days, silly faces, family, friends, and nature-filled the board. But only memories with one person mattered the most to her. When she looked at the board and saw memories with her best friend Jake, her heart did a flip-flop. Jake had crawled his way into her heart from being a shy nobody to her best friend ...

“A Bar on Broome Street” by Shira Oz

Submitted to Contest #81

September 2000- June 2004 I went to school at Scarsdale High School in New York. During my 4 years of high school, by far my favorite class was Mrs. Hart’s creative writing class. Once you entered her classroom, on your right there was a dirty chalkboard and the rest of the room was covered in posters of different novels she liked, The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre, The Da Vinci Code and many others I don’t remember anymore. But while most people would say their favorite class in high school was because the class was interesting, the teacher was...

“The Forgetting Year” by Brin Garcia

Submitted to Contest #81

Janelle sat in her car, keys in hand the small beads of sweat that began to slowly roll down her brow brought her out of her daze. She shook the thoughts from her head and wiped her brow. How long had she been sitting here? Surely in this early spring heatwave, it wouldn’t take long for her car to heat up she thought as she stepped out into the even hotter parking lot. The sun reflected off of the blacktop momentarily blinding Janelle who had...

“Lavender Allure” by Katie Emma

Submitted to Contest #81

Kennedy watched in surprise as he walked by. It had only been 4 years, but it felt like a million. Kennedy had been obsessed with this boy ever since that day at Comic Con when he signed his number on the back of her shirt. He'd given her a smirk and a wink before walking away. Her heart had soared and her thoughts had been so preoccupied by his intoxicating scent that she'd almost forgotten why she'd come to Comic Con at all. That was, until they called out her name and she hugged Dylan Sprayberry. The smell of the mystery boy's lavend...

“Romance gone wrong ” by Mackenna Mae

Submitted to Contest #81

I had it all planned out. I bought flowers, I made her a drawing, I even went as far as making her a cake. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I put on a nice outfit, I had even taken a shower that morning so I could ensure that I smelt okay. I still remember that feeling of overwhelming joy as I was setting it all up. I had put a large banner above the window in her room and I remember spreading the bouquets of flowers I bought her on random shelves scattered around the place filled with all of her memories. I placed the cake on her ...

Have We Met? By Heather Ann Martinez There are times in our lives when days turn to weeks and we do not notice that a handful of years became decades in the blink of an eye. Aryan never forgot Zara. He saw her in the constellations in the night skies. He sat behind her in math class throughout their elementary school years. He picked her every time in physical education classes well into middle school. He would say her smile was infectious. She always had a kind word. She rarely got upset and never saw her cry. Aryan was taken aback no...

Okay, so I’ll admit. I wasn't the most popular boy in highschool.My biggest problem is that I’m smart. The whole school thinks I’m a nerd because I get all As. What's funny? I don't care. I was your typical nerd who had a crush on the most popular girl. Emily. Emily has been my friend since kindergarten but now, she just ignores me. My name is Tommy. Tommy Berkley. “Tommy!” my best and only friend calls out. “Oh hey Henry!” I reply turning around. “OUCH” I yell, wincing in pain as my head hits my locker again. I can hear everyone lau...

“Do You Remember Me?” by Leslie Flemons

Ramon remembered how he felt when he met Kelsey. Kelsey Dallas. She wasn’t your typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. She was that girl who wasn’t afraid to go all natural with her hair. Her rich brown skin glowing, making the room shine. He reminisced how they played in the mud together as if they were pigs and chased each other with squirt guns. The boys would tease him for hanging around with a girl. But he didn’t care. To him, Kelsey was more than just a girl.Then he saw her - at Carley’s Coffee Shop. She didn’t look likeshe used to. Wh...

Submitted to Contest #81

Amidst the hazy blue of water, all Mirielle could see was the tendrils of her ginger orange hair and the fading sunlight that filtered above her. Desperately trying to hold her breath, she attempted to swim upwards towards the light, reaching out to anything that could help her. Believing her efforts to be in vain, she had just begun to give up, closing her eyes in resignation…until she heard a voice call her name. Mirielle’s eyes snapped open to see a blurry figure staring down at her from the light above, and a ferocious vigor was reborn w...

“The Empty Shell” by Sasan Sedighi

Submitted to Contest #81

Finally, after having a sad but hectic week, the funeral finished. The undertakers did a proper job in a short time. Her body was cremated, and her ash, left in a stylish urn and later placed in a tiny vault in an apartment-like tombs block at the cemetery. It was then ornamented with a golden plate, with her name carved on it with superb penmanship. That tomb became her final resting place. A place for the family and friends to gather, to remember her, and show their respects. Many of their family members and friends gathered at the f...
