“My extroverted friend ” by Alexia Bartlett

Submitted to Contest #104

I was sitting on my couch reading my favorite book, Harry Potter. I became immersed in the magical world, until I heard my doorbell ring. Letting out a sigh, I got up and opened the front door. As soon as I opened the door, I came face to face with my best friend, Laura. “Sarah!” She exclaimed as soon as she saw me. Moving through the front door, she engulfed me in a hug. “What have you been up to? I haven't seen you in a week. Wait, let me guess. You’ve spent all your time reading.” “Why ask when you already know?” I said, answering her...

“Christians and Kais: An Average Visit From my Introverted Friend” by Sam Hershey

Submitted to Contest #104

WARNING: Slight Spoiler for a Season 3 Episode of Cobra Kai When it comes to being friends, Dusty and I are an interesting match, and it is not because my house is two floors not counting an attic or basement and his is a 4 room apartment. It is also not the fact that he is a localized technophobe, as in he is a technophobe when it comes to technology past the VERY early 2000s. One time for example I actually had to go on Amazon to find him Gamecube controllers because his broke and he under NO CURCUMSTANCES will upgrade the console to eve...

“Here’s to You, Here’s to Me” by Alisia Hassler

Submitted to Contest #104

Here’s to You, Here’s to Me “Are you coming tonight?” I instantly regret answering my phone. I should have declined the call, forwarded it to voicemail. I should have turned my phone off or left it on silent in another room. I should have thrown it with all of my might into the Mississippi River to be swallowed whole by a bucketmouth bass. Ok fine, this isn’t my phone's fault. It is better to have some warning. If I hadn’t answered, she would have shown up unannounced anyway, and the only thing that gives me more anxiety than an unexpec...

“Table Number Four” by Harlie Smith

Submitted to Contest #104

It's been six years and five days since I found my husband with the girl next door. No, not in some casual encounter neighbors frequently engage in. This was a full-blown makeout session, in our bed, in the home we shared.Conclusively, he's no longer my husband. And if that experience isn't enough to keep me from the dating scene for good, my introverted personality and severe drop in self-confidence surely could.Two days, approximately. This is the time elapsed since my best friend, Breanne, became single. Luckily for her, infidelity in her...

“Step by step ” by Elizabeth Greenwoods

Submitted to Contest #104

Winter was her favorite season. Well, not really. Autumn, maybe. She loved the colors, the cool breeze and cloudy days. But people thought winter was her favorite season, perhaps because she once said that snow was magical. She believed it, but winter wasn’t really her thing. People tend to assume things, even when you don’t really mean them. So she stopped talking. It was the most intelligent thing to do. Easier said than done. Words had always been her thing; they were reliable, something she thought couldn’t be misunderstood. Well, she wa...

To: “Universe 7,613,981” <cosmology4ever@gmail.com> CC: All Staff From: “Fate” Subject: Case Number: 2396-6990-7321 Eloise Sauer will die of anaphylaxis. It isn’t to be debated, she will eat a peanut—unbeknownst to her—and have a grim death at the home of a friend located along Groveshire Drive, on the morning of December 23rd. If it wasn’t for her people-pleasing personality, she may live; unfortunately, that won’t be the case. Living in a small town means Eloise’s social circle encompasses the entire town’s teenage...

“My guardian angel ” by Tori Little

Submitted to Contest #104

Hi, If you don’t know me i am tori. I’m the typical introvert. I prefer to stay inside, alone, and not bothered by anyone. That is unless you happen to be that one outgoing person who managed to get in my little introvert “barrier”.This girl was funny, talented, beautiful, and bold.. all of which are some of the many reasons I adored her. She is everything I’m not. We’ve been friends practically my whole life, we are inseparable. However, due to my introvert side I do tend to be the cause of issues in our strong yet distant friendship.Her be...

“The Beginning of Me and My Extrovert ” by C Cheatham

Submitted to Contest #104

By Chelsea Cheatham There are plenty of ups and downs in being friends with an extrovert. And me, Gia Goodwin, and my friend, Addison Maude, are prime examples. Did I say that I’m an introvert? Yep. Many people who claim to be an introvert have no evidence to back it up. I’ve got evidence. And guess who’s the extrovert. Ding! Who said Addison Maude? How did this come about? Well, I’ll tell you. So, me and Addie have pretty much known each other for half of our entire lives, (being fifteen years, so seven point five or seven in a half...

“UNDERSTATED” by Else Shouse

Submitted to Contest #104

UNDERSTATED "Never marry anyone who doesn't make you laugh," my Grandma said, chuckling. Grandpa had just picked out a piece of spaghetti from the pot and sucked it in from one end under his mustache. At that time, of course, I had no intention of marrying anyone. I had just discovered Nancy Drew books and liked to sit on the swing on the back porch and read. Sometimes I would pick dandelions and make necklaces out of them. I also liked to look for small rocks to make into people. After scrubbing the rocks perfectly cle...

“Chalk and Cheese” by Valerie Preston

Submitted to Contest #104

Light and dark, soft and hard, introvert and extrovert - all opposites and yet in so many situations one couldn’t do without the other, and quite often they even complement each other. This was how it was with my best friend Annie and me. She was the extrovert and I was in introvert. Sometimes I would hate her for making me do things, go places, meet people, but ‘occasionally’ afterwards I would think ‘What would I do without Annie? I’d never go out and I’d just be a hermit’. Annie would tell me that she was ever grateful when I told he...

“The Quiet That Says More Than Words” by Luna Thompson

Submitted to Contest #104

The first time Kasia sees Marlie, she is ten years old and everything is wrong. Not really everything, of course - that would be impossible - but for Kasia it might as well be. Life, she’s known for what seems like forever, is very similar to a play. Everyone acts out their part, and everyone ignores the fact that that’s what they’re doing - acting. Following a script. Hiding behind predetermined roles and predetermined lines. Kasia has always been very good at it. She’s always been able to carve her lips into warm smiles and shape her wor...

“The Party” by Abigail Santos

Submitted to Contest #104

I slam my locker shut and try to block out the gossip and chatter surrounding me. I can’t stop thinking about how I’m going to jump into bed the second I get home and rest after this excruciatingly long day of school. “Elena!” My best friend, Shelby, yells across the hallway. I have difficulty locating her voice through the overwhelming crowd of people. Luckily, I don’t have to, because she suddenly appears right next to me. “Are you going to Max’s party tonight?” She asks me. She knows what I’m going to say. I open my mouth, preparing to...

“Olivia” by Romilyn Bob

Submitted to Contest #104

Olivia My name is Kenzie and I hate talking to people. That was until I met Olivia. Olivia was a tall slender girl with light brown hair and eyes. She was the most popular girl in school. She was the captain of her soccer team, participated in the student body, and she would always greet everyone she met. She was loved by everyone including the teachers. I, on the other hand, never really enjoyed talking with people. I preferred to keep my distance and study for exams. My life was very peaceful, but one afternoon during class. My teacher ca...

“Bifurcations” by Michael Vowles

Submitted to Contest #104

They went for breakfast after everyone else on campus had finished lunch. Michael got there first. He liked the Hilltop Café after 2pm. It was quiet without being deserted. A gentle din of silverware and languid chatter. The more empty seats there were, the easier it was to breathe. His eyes no longer followed his own feet. Michael reached the breakfast bar and grabbed a bowl. He wondered if people could tell that he’d only just rolled out of bed. Probably they weren’t looking at him in the first place, Michael reminded himself. It was an o...

“Kwang & Mack” by Prince Makondo

Submitted to Contest #104

There is a saying that " birds of the same feathers flock together," but that wasn't the case with Kwang and Mack. With totally different mindsets, different personalities, and different schedules, yet best of friends and spent whatever time they could find together. Kwang was loud, talkative, super social and also outgoing. His type of fun was being out there, busy with chills and parties and had little interest in academics as they gave him hell. His best thing were practical work and expressing himself. Therefore, because of his strengths...
