“Molly: How I Met Her” by Anna Svetkova

Submitted to Contest #104

Molly: my best friend. We’ve done everything together: homework, vacations, and holidays. Through thick and thin, we were with each other. It’s been forever since we met, but I still remember it like yesterday. “Mom, why are we moving?” I sassily asked as I helped her carry the boxes into my new house. It was this large modern thing, very different from the rusty old walk-up we used to live in. ...

“BLACK AND WHITE” by Afia Osei

Submitted to Contest #104

You would be surprised how much you can have in common with someone completely different from you. As an introvert, making friends has always been so hard for me. During my childhood days, I always had people to move to and fro with so I never really thought friendship was a problem for me, but it was during my teenage years that I realized I was so much different from the girls around me. I'm not a prude but modesty is and always will be a priority for me but these friends had no issue showing body parts that had to be covered in public, th...

“Two Peas in a Pod” by Carol Keefer

Submitted to Contest #104

The sweltering heat of mid-May’s temperatures has reached the low 90’s. I can feel tiny beads of sweat on my forehead, and as I started changing the thermostat, I stop when I saw Ms. Blackledge’s sinister stare. I left it to go and went back to my workstation or a sweatshop, as I call it. Still, it is quiet, back here, away from interacting with the public, and I prefer it this way, surrounded by pictures hanging on the clotheslines, stretching from one side of the room to the other. Here I am at home, just me and th...

“Old Wounds Reopened” by Brielle Walters

Submitted to Contest #104

A young adult was sitting at his desk with a pen in hand and a notebook laid out in front of him. He stared at the page that only had a few words on it. He read it over and over again, but nothing else seemed to come to him. What else could he put in this part of his story? He was still thinking when he heard his bedroom door open with a bang, making him jump and almost fall out of his chair. “Noah! I just came up with a great idea!” The young man, Noah, turned around with wide eyes toward the one who spoke. It was another young man, whose h...

“She's for Me” by Gayle Chancey

Submitted to Contest #104

“So, are you coming tonight?” Cindy frowned then sighed. “Okay, I understand, family first. No don’t worry about me, there will be others there. “So, everyone always says, “I’ll be there,” and you prepare and get excited and then suddenly the calls or now-a-days the texts start coming in and phooy.’ Lisa watched her friend running around picking up things, moving them around, putting them back, she was clearly upset. She kept throwing her long, red braid back behind her and it kept sliding around agitating her. Picking a relatively slow m...

“Imena” by Annie Barlow

Submitted to Contest #104

Imena and I are polar opposites. I'm ugly, she's pretty. I'm dumb, she's smart. I'm quiet, she's loud. I'm unpopular, she's popular. I'm shy yet she is one of the most confident and outgoing people you shall ever meet. She isn't the type of popular, confident girl who you'd see in a movie- the ones who seem "confident" to other people but deep down are insecure. The ones that go home and cry and stare into the mirror for hours looking at what they've become and wishing they could disappear from society and live a private and unnoticed life j...

“Forgive to forget” by Mahita Ghattu

Submitted to Contest #104

We were both sitting at the cold wooden bench together. The wind was breezy, and the sun was setting. Honestly I missed these moments. We used to have so many of them, but they seemed to get farther and farther away the more that time passed. We were both quiet, especially since we haven’t talked for so long. Its been about 3 or 4 years… I can’t quite remember. Especially since I didn’t know what to say. I wanted to fix it, I wanted to say sorry, but I was afraid it was too far gone. And I knew it wasn’t even my fault. It was her fault. Afte...

“"I really don't even remember how we became friends." ” by Bella Cole

Submitted to Contest #104

“You can’t be serious,” Karma stated, looking up from her sketchbook. Her exasperated expression was twisted with irritation, they had been discussing all day. Going back and forth between ideas for what they should do with the next two days. They were located at Karmas parent’s house, with little freedom and an itch to do something. They had been left to their own devices in the middle of nowhere Texas, and they only had a couple of days left. Zoey had to head back to Florida for school, and the girls weren’t excited to part. ...

“COLOURS” by Mugabe Victor

Submitted to Contest #104

“One, two, three, five…seven” my breath rattled as the cold pierced straight through my jacket, “What comes after seven?” “Whose idea was this?” the devil on my shoulder finally spoke up, “I could be in bed right now safely tacked beneath an army of blankets,” “Shut up,” I snared, fog bursting through my teeth. A tactic that had unfortunately failed me since my younger days. I did not have any friends since my graduation and I had only myself to blame. The long hours predicated to finishing assignments, the endless video games I tried so de...

“Two Feisty Kids” by Robert Cherny

Submitted to Contest #104

Dr. Lenny strode from the soccer fields to the town’s only ice cream shop, followed by a gaggle of pre-teen soccer players and their mothers. As the team’s new doctor, he had promised them that he would treat them to ice cream every time they won a home game. They had been winning consistently, and this parade had become a common sight. The shopkeepers waved as the boisterous entourage passed their stores. Dr. Lenny led the parade dragging the wheeled first aid kit that he took to the games. He had only returned home a few months ago to join...

“Red” by Mike Garrigan

Submitted to Contest #104

I wanted to tell Kaitlyn to keep it down, but she just kept running her mouth. Dave’s Diner marked the last stop for a hundred miles before we reached the Cadillac Farm in Amarillo, Texas. Older couples and day laborers filled the surrounding booths, but they were keeping their conversations to themselves. Kaitlyn, on the other hand, exploded with laughter at the slightest suggestion of anything remotely funny.“Why did the vegan cross the road?” Kaitlyn said.“I . . . I dunno,” I said.“To tell everyone on the other si...

“Forest Adventure” by Akura Ega Shiro

Submitted to Contest #104

"Timmy, Timmy! Let's play!" It was still 7 am, and yet Tobiel's energy was already fiery and uncontrollable. If I didn't know any better, he was basically the personification of fire hazards. "No," I bluntly answered. But I knew my answer won't calm him down. Tobiel lightly pulled my hair just to annoy me. "Meanie! Timmy is a big meanie!" I got used to his antics. I won't let it affect me. "Tobiel, have you even eaten your breakfast yet?" I asked, hoping it would make Tobiel leave me alone. "Yeah, I did! Bread toast with butter! I ...

“To Remember ” by Serena Samuel

Submitted to Contest #104

I remembered the first time I saw her. There was a party that night. I hated parties. They were always filled with sweaty, drunk people. I remembered her standing there. She was so beautiful when she smiled. Her curly hair bounced when she expressed herself with her whole body. Her hand flew everywhere with each world. We were nothing alike. I got off the couch, walking towards the closet exit out of the house. When I passed her, I glimpsed as she jumped onto her brother for a wild hug. At Least, I thought they saw each other...

“What are friends for?” by Mesuur Iorkighir

Submitted to Contest #104

There were five people. Five!!! And that included me and my best friend, Maddie. I mean, I hoped that there would be more people, then I might try to be a little more outgoing. You know, the life of the party and all that. But not when five people were sitting around a small round table, each with a copy of a short story that we were to read before coming to this… discussion? Conversation? I wasn’t even sure what to call it. But Maddie had pleaded, begged me to come, saying that it would be interesting. I mean, to be fair, I had dragged her ...

“Bonds of Bravery” by Stacey Woodward

Submitted to Contest #104

‘Go on, C! You can do it,’ said Olympia. Corey nodded, his courage shining through. He went to the stage of the eleventh grade talent show and began singing, his voice sounding like the angels. The first time anyone had seen his courage to its full extent, heard him sing, been astounded by his voice. One Year Earlier ‘You should go up, C!’ Olympia said, thinking she was going to be quieter than she actually was. ‘No, I can’t.’ Corey replied. ‘You’re a great singer!’ ‘Don’t say that too loud. I’m not that great at it, not good enough for ...
