“The girl who smoked” by Lizzie S

Submitted to Contest #29

John Green once said, "The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive." I used to live by that. I used to not want to hold someone against actions that they committed that brought me sadness. I used to think that quote was pure. Then I realized it was bull. It was bull because even if you do in fact forgive those who do cause you harm, sometimes you can't forget. And if you can't forget, how is one suppose to even leave the labyrinth? The labyrinth of suffering is suppose to be a place wher...

“A Night Along The Mississippi” by Robyn Welborne

Submitted to Contest #29

“Where are we going,” asked fourteen-year-old Jasmine Lockworth to herself. She twirled her thick braids around her fingers and stared out the window of the large school bus. “How much farther until we reach the campgrounds?” She grew restless on the long drive through Mississippi. Jasmine turned around in her seat and tapped Trina Jones on the shoulder. Jasmine and Trina were best friends since elementary school. The two of them grew up together in every grade. It was the last week of summer camp and the bus was headed to a recreational cen...

“No Idea” by Beth McGrath

Submitted to Contest #29

For five years Lucy and I were inseparable. We’d stay up for hours editing videos, uploading photos on our joint Tumblr account, watching scary movies that we shouldn’t. Once we racked a phone bill of sixty pounds up by prank calling 118 247; the information line advertised by the funny men in little red shorts. We saw each other through horrors and feelings of isolation. We’d never have to go anywhere or face anything alone, because it was a given that the other would be there; another half to make one whole. She used to do my art homework ...

“Choking on Skittles” by Jazmin Bogarín

Submitted to Contest #29

Oh, how wonderful it is to give lollipops to little kids in order to make life harder for their parents when the sugar kicks in! Oh, how wonderful it is to feed chocolate to the broken-hearted teenagers like me who need something sweet in their life! Oh, how wonderful it is to watch the messes babies make on their face when you give them something sweet! I'm telling you, being the queen of diabetes is the most enjoyable experience in life. Except for when diabetes gets to the human blood and you have to suffer from the thought of...

“BRO!!!” by Smudge Himmel

Submitted to Contest #29

"BROOOOOO!" James shouted. "That was so lit!"Sean shook water out of his eyes, face gleaming. "It was?""You're like- a total natural bro!"Sean blushed. "Aw, bro, it's really all your doing. You taught me how to surf.""Yeah," said James, "but it's real skill you've got, bro, that's why you're so good.""You're making me blush, bro."James laughed and splashed Sean with a hand full of sea water. Sean spit out a mouthful of water and laughed."Look!" Sean said suddenly, pointing over James' shoulder. "What's that?"James spun around. The sun glitte...

“Painter and Moon” by G. K. Derickson

Submitted to Contest #29

In a universe vast and timeless, with stars forever blinking in and out of existence, worlds dying and recreating, are two immortals forever at odds. One a man, or maybe just a boy, creating cause, destroying worlds, anything to get the attention of the other, a girl always willing to lend a hand. She helped those in need and did the best to save any she could. Many legends are told about them, some say they’ve been around since time began, others that they're not even immortals. Are they friends, enemies, or so...

“Emileigh ” by Grace Allen

Submitted to Contest #29

Before checking with her brain, her hand slowly reached up to touch his cheek. A somewhat happy confusion clouded his eyes and face, as if he wanted it and yet had no idea why the feeling had come upon him. He raised his hand and touched it to hers tentatively and, as though his fingertips were etched in electricity, the feeling of his skin whispering across her own jolted Emileigh's mind into focus. Her warm smile faded to crimson embarrassment as she pulled her hand away from him and turned her back to him, not certain what to say.Suddenly...

“Wendy” by Sarah Bennett

Submitted to Contest #29

We would run down the lane behind her house. After the rain, when the potholes were filled with water. Flecks of mud stuck to our legs and dried that way. I flicked them off in the bathtub before Dad got home; it’s always that way with fathers, isn’t it? No matter how kind and forgiving and gentle they can be with their children, there are some things you just can’t tell them. You know they won’t always react the way you need them too.“What are you getting?” Alison’s voice is unravelling, the thread of a sweater well-loved but unable to surv...

“Outrageous” by Eunice Amero

Submitted to Contest #29

Eunice Amero2,433 words OUTRAGEOUS! “So, all of it was just a lie?” Lucy shouted in anger. “Yes, but don’t worry about it, you’ll go crazy,” Harry spoke pointing his finger in Lucy’s face. Lucy slapped his finger away from her. He never did care if she ever found out his plan or not and today it happened. He did anything, and went anywhere he wanted to go, and though he still cared for Lucy, his thoughts were a lot on himself. He didn’t care if Lucy thought he was going crazy, because he was still building his plan. A plan he hope...

Born twenty-two months, four days, fifty-seven minutes, and 3 seconds apart from each other. The girls lived twenty-two months, four days, fifty-seven minutes, and 3 seconds apart from each other, so when people asked, yes they had lived apart before.Jane was born a Tuesday, Belle a Thursday, Belle during rain, Jane during sunshine, Jane had brown hair, Belle blonde. The fact that the two were polar opposites didn't make them any less close. They were sisters and sisters are built-in best friends.Growing up together, Jane learned to walk fir...

“Two Primates, Two Sides” by Isabella Cassai

Submitted to Contest #29

"No, you can't come to school with me. I'll get in trouble." This is what I had to tell my best friend, Boone, right to his face the day after winter break. Of course, I only talked to him because I didn't feel so lonely talking to him. He wouldn't understand me."Ooh-ee-a-a!" He chanted back with his high-pitched voice. I rubbed the brown fur on his head and replied, "Sorry, bud." I gave him a banana to try to cheer him up. Also, yes. My best friend Boone was a monkey. Do you now get why the heck I can't bring him to school? I would get in t...

“Different Directions” by Joanna McMillan

Submitted to Contest #29

It had been over a week since I talked to Becca. It was weird, typically we'd usually talk a lot more, even every day sometimes. I decided to call her. "Lila! How are you?" I could hear the smile in her voice. "Hey, Becca! I'm good, how about you?" I asked. "Good, just been so busy. Trying to figure out all this college stuff and with finals coming up.... Plus, my parents want me to keep going to all these stupid extra curricular things so it looks good on my applications. But I’m good. How are you?" "I'...

“Upon the Overpass- Sadler Slate” by Sadler Slate

Submitted to Contest #29

A cold summer afternoon cloaked by rain found my best friend walking alone. His head pointed at his feet as he wondered where they would take him. His thoughts smothered him and he begged for an escape. The concrete yellow-brick road turned to a trail of tears and sorrow as he began to question his life and its meaning. Everyone seemed to have turned their backs on him. Their words and their criticisms echoed inside his conscience and they seemed to get the best of them. Who is “they” you may ask? Friends. Friends former and friends ev...

“Wide Open Spaces” by CJ Adams

Submitted to Contest #29

Takashi never quite liked the country. He detested it, actually. But here he was, sitting shotgun in a beat-up Chevy, bumping down a winding country road. Cody had insisted that they go on a hike since the air was finally warm and the sky clear. Of course, Cody had only brought up a hike because Takashi hadn't been truly taking care of himself lately. You see, Takashi is a musical prodigy. He composes symphonies as well as songs for artists like Pitbull or Toby Keith. Now he's never composed for either of those two in particular, but it's a...

“Ivory Tuesdays” by Megan Raisch

Submitted to Contest #29

“Yesterday was Tuesday. I usually don’t keep track of the days. Up until the last few years, anyway. But starting 6 years back, I always knew when it was Tuesday. Because Theodore was always there on Tuesdays with his smile and an overly packed folder of sheet music. Some people who live with me always remember Sundays, because all the residents are wheeled down and lined up to listen to someone who preaches too loud, as if we can’t hear him. He speaks slowly, painfully enunciating each syllable like we’re foreigners. Surely speaking i...
