“The Love of Spring” by Brianna Laskai

Submitted to Contest #35

The snow had melted, the birds were chirping, and the sun was shining on Spring. Aiden hated it. Spring strips the cool comfort or Winter away from her, and she will forever hate it for that. She listed in her head all the reasons she hated Spring as she was getting ready for the despicable Spring Dance her friends were dragging her along to.Too brightToo loud Too hot Too many people acting as if it can make you happy againAiden decided that if she’s going to this dance, she’s going not put any effort in. She looked at herself in the mirror ...

“Murder On The Dance-floor” by Jayke Luland

Rooty Hill RSLAfter an arduous and seemingly never-ending term one of schooling, the students of Obasan High School in Sydney have conveyed at the local RSL to forget the misery of their gruelling last four months through their annual Spring Dance. With some illicit alcohol in their pockets and suspicious brownies hidden in the hoodie of local derelict Brad Namley, it’s time to party long into the night.Rory Arnaut has no plans on partying or cavorting however. The uber genius science geek from Merrylands has made a tremendous discovery that...

“What Really Matters ” by Rebecca Lewis

Submitted to Contest #35

What really matters in this life? Is being wanted all that important? Is being popular a prerequisite for success? Sighing, I opened it one more time. The little, precisely folded note from Daniel was short, succinct and devoid of anything personal. An invitation to the school dance complete with date and time. His handwriting was sloppy, barely legible.Against my better judgment and with a sense of self loathing, I accepted. This would be my first dance, my very first date as a matter of fact. I had never had a date, not one. I was not one ...

“The Senior and ME? Spring Dance date Story ” by Shyleen Luv

Submitted to Contest #35

School Dances the worst thing to happen to a student that's not popular or what those evil barbies say beautiful. For me its another day at school, for others it's the spring dance they have the rush to find the perfect dress, perfect date, but I don't care I don't see the big reason for all the money spending or waiting/begging for a person to ask you out. Today they announced the Spring Fling dance wair all students are allowed to attend no matter what grade and I'm not planning on going. I'm Dia, I'm in 1...

“Spring Blush” by Rawn A Lynn

Submitted to Contest #35

It was that time of the year again. It never piqued his interest during his past 2 years of high school. Skyler never felt bad for turning down anyone who asked him to go. This year, however, was proving to be different. He was sitting at the mercy of his best friend he met at the end of last year. He could have been getting some running in this evening, but she was against it. He continued to wear his pout as he looked in the mirror. She was trying her all to fix his unruly hair. That hand full of hair just refused to stay down.“I guess, th...

“One Spring Night” by Magnolia Brooks

Submitted to Contest #35

When winter turns to spring, my father’s mansion turns into the biggest ballroom that my little town of Bloomdale has ever seen. Father hires musicians and chefs all in preparation for that one spring night. That one night that will be forgotten as quickly as the spring breeze changes to summer. Tonight is that one spring night. Everything is ready. Our finest china rests atop each table. Every curtain is drawn so that the first spring moon can be seen. The ballroom floor has been freshly polished so that one can see their own reflecti...

“Lights” by Natalie Getchey

Submitted to Contest #35

Ryan was with a group of friends, who were currently against a wall, one smoking a cigarette. "Georgie," Ryan said as smoke swirled up the wall, "you are going to get in trouble for doing that in here. And get kicked out- again.” Georgie rolled his eyes, pulling the cigarette from his lips. "It is not my fault that your flower power gets in the way of you living your life, but I am going to live mine the way I want." Georgie’s boyfriend, Connor, was under his arm and gripping the taller boy’s hips. Even though they were inside, Georgie had s...

“What You Do To Me” by Macy Farmer

Submitted to Contest #35

She stood by the buffet tables with a scowl, staring out over the town center where the Joltereans frolicked. Their team had arrived for a diplomatic mission in the midst of the New Leaf Festival, a celebration to kick off the arrival of spring. Part of this celebration was a dance.Kovya never danced.It was both a matter of principle and the simple fact that she never really learned how. All the worlds they’d visited, all the species and cultures they’d encountered, she never had to partake in an event this grandiose. She felt out of place a...

“Spring Hope” by Carille Durbin

Submitted to Contest #35

Mary gave the decorations inside of the town hall a satisfied look. It had been a long cold winter for the residents of Deer Trail, Michigan. and now spring was here. At least the calendar said spring was here; there was still snow on the ground outside, and more snow was in the forecast. Mary was suffering from a bad case of spring fever. Most years she could blame her edginess on the cold dreary days that lacked the bright colors of spri...

“The Fall of Ember Kingdom The Return of Sesra: Side Story Max and Mysterious Stella Fairy.” by Jean Branson

Submitted to Contest #35

Max grumbled as he sat across the young lady named Tulip. She wore a nice violet dress and her makeup was done flawlessly. If it weren't for the circumstances of their meeting he might have actually felt something for her but as her light brown eyes drifted to the window, he was pretty sure she had someone else on her mind. He felt as though he was stealing someone's girl."So, have any good stories?" He tried. She gave him a wry smile. "Not really." She answered respectfully."You're not into this either are you...?" He asked. Tulip star...

“Bluebell” by Valentina Gandía

Submitted to Contest #35

Look at her; her gorgeous golden skin, her radiant flowing hair, her dark chocolate eyes and her perfect heart shaped lips, that's the girl I want. She looks so perfect that it is implausible that such an angelic and impeccable girl exists in this cruel world; for once I had seen light, and it took my breath away, I better not miss this opportunity, because I have fallen in love with this feeling. So, should I go talk to her? No, that's silly, why would a girl like her want to talk to me? I have always been the bookworm of the class, k...

“Nyree Powell is a Bully with no Brains” by Angela Morrissey

Submitted to Contest #35

‘Turn around!’ Nyree said. Summar blinked and looked at the girl who was sitting in front of her. She’d turned around to face her, with her big, blue eyes glaring at her. Summar raised an eyebrow. ‘And why must I do that?’ she asked. ‘Because you’re ugly!’ Nyree replied. She sneered, displaying a perfect array of teeth. Summar bit her lip. She, as always, was at a loss of what to say although she should be used to it by now. Yet, it never got any easi...

“Prom king” by Jacie Evans

Submitted to Contest #35

Despite the awful smell that had been spread across the gym floor, much like the blood of Taylor Humphrey, the music was still playing and the lights were still flashing but everyone was staring right at me and the dismembered prom king.Earlier that night my friends and I were getting ready for the annual spring prom, our town was smaller than others and because if this our prom was before the end of the school year rather than later.“Carly do you think I should wear an emerald green dress or a topaz romper, the emerald would match my eyes b...

“Robbie and Tolkien” by Isabel Flynn

Submitted to Contest #35

I wonder if tonight will be right? It's such a beautiful evening and a surprise there’s not a lot of other walkers in the park. I might get away with it. I’m glad I brought everything in my backpack, just in case. He loved this sort of Spring weather. How many times did we do all these walks together? Must have been hundreds, I reckon. Those early days he was at Uni and invited me up to stay with him and his roommate. Gosh, he was a weirdo.&...

“Wedding Goers Dance Among Us” by Eva Bedggood

Submitted to Contest #35

The aisle appeared to be floating, being beset with the white petals of roses, their fragrance mingling with the smell of sunlight, grass and lilies. The pews of the greenhouse converted chapel were full of guests for the occasion, coming from many different countries… and from different worlds.Sief inhaled deeply, the colours and sounds blurring around her; silk dresses of different cuts and lace, denim and suede leather coats; green, yellow, blue, pink, white, black, red, silver. She opened her eyes again. Someone patted her arm.“A little ...
