  • Greek Life

    I was constantly trying to figure out why Allison never wanted to be in the group pictures.  Or really have any pictures taken of her at all. I wondered if she had had a secret life I didn’t know about. The more she started to refuse to being in pictures, the more stories I made…

  • New Life

    PHOTO PROMPT © Na’ama Yehuda  When the flowers finally started to bloom, I let myself have a little faith. A little faith I was doing the right thing and had done the right thing when I moved hundreds of miles away from my friends and family. Until today, I had considered packing my bags and…

  • Wailing

    “But I can explain.  I can explain everything that happened.  Everything will make sense if you let me tell you what really happened.”  Rowan practically fell to her knees in front of her mother and I wondered what she was doing.  We had discussed everything the night and the week before the ‘event’ but now…

  • I Don’t Miss Middle School…

    Have you ever had something happen in your life that years later, you still remember everything about that day? I had a group of friends I grew up with – many I played sports with (soccer, softball, tag, Commando) and went to school with from Kindergarten on – but somewhere along the way, I think…

  • My Favorite Band

    The reasoning and excuses I heard about what had happened that September night were out of control.  Tonight, Tim’s anger came running and caused him to punch the leader of Sanders. One punch and Daryl had a broken nose. We had gone to the sold-out show because I was obsessed with Sanders and had been for many…

  • Whale Watching

    I wanted to confront her, I just didn’t know how.  Every time I tried to tell her how I felt, she just laughed and kept right on trucking.  How did she now know how it bothered me?  How did she not know how left out she made me feel?  “Are you really on your phone…

  • Comrade

    “He actually called you a comrade?  I’ve never heard anyone even say comrade before.”  I spread my blanket out on the grass and looked over at Sara.  She was staring off into the trees with a confused look on her face.  “Sara!”  After a few times of me calling her name, Sara finally turned back…

  • Sunshine and Roses

    The moment I walked out of Megan’s house, I knew I was never going back.  Going back meant I was giving up on myself and my future.  As much as I tried to hold everything in, the tears started to fall as I got into my car.  No one ever told me moving on would be so hard, but yet so…

  • Pretend

    “You could at least pretend you liked each other.  At least for about thirty minutes while the speeches are happening.  Then you could go to opposite sides of the room and ignore each other.  Please.”  I tried to not beg Kristin to not start a fight with Kellie.  The two had been best friends until…
