  • The Sleepover

    “Man oh man.  Oh man.  What are we going to do?  Man.  Oh man.”  I listened to Amari panic as I slowly tried to drive away from the scene of our ‘crime.’  Toilet papering on the night of our annual soccer sleepover had gone awry when someone had called the police.  “We’re driving away, as…

  • The Boxer

    “I never knew he could fight.  Or that he would fight.”  I turned to see Lily standing next to me with her jaw hanging open.  We were waiting, or in reality, I guess we were hiding behind a tree and we weren’t hiding well.  “Lily, maybe we should leave.  I know we should leave.  I…

  • Deadly

    “It was deadly.  I don’t know how else to tell you other than it was out of control.”  My sister was lying face down on her bed and I was trying to figure out what to do.  I knew she deserved everything. And more.  At least to a certain degree.  “I couldn’t leave.  Sam may…

  • Stalker

    “Did he get mad?  What was it like?  I’ve never seen Kyle mad.  Does he yell?  Scream?  Stomp his feet?”  Angela poured another glass of wine as she seemingly played twenty questions.  “It was kind of interesting to see him mad.  I had never seen him mad either.  But yeah, he was upset.  But he wouldn’t listen…

  • Getting into Harvard

    “The enemy has ears everywhere.  I know they do.  You have to stay vigilant.  You cannot lose concentration or it could be your final mistake.”  Mykala moved the beam of the flashlight from face to face.  I knew what she was trying to do and I wouldn’t let myself fall under her spell like I had done so many times.  Mykala was notorious…

  • Send a Message

    “We only wanted to send a message,” I stumbled over my words, but finally managed to get them out  We had only been trying to pull a prank on Justin, but everything had gone horribly wrong.  Matt had left me behind to get caught which was not surprising.  He was the type of guy who would never take responsibility…

  • Lovely Evening

    “Lovely evening we’re having,” Jeff said as he pulled me toward the front door.    “Everything was fine until Bryant came over.  He was not invited and I mean to tell him why.”  “Bryant had nothing to do with what happened tonight.  It was all what you and your sister did.  Not Bryant.”  Jeff turned and pointed his finger…

  • Any Amount of Crazy

    “Didn’t we expect for that to happen?”  Leah said as we watched the police take Ada to the cruiser in handcuffs.  Ada was still struggling and yelling over her shoulder at Jackson.  I stared and took another long drink of my wine.  I felt bad for Ada, I really did, but I had just witnessed the most outrageous amount of…

  • What They Don’t Know

    “They don’t know any more?  How can they not know any more?  What have they been doing for the last week? ”  “Linda has only been missing -” Mary started.  “A week!  She’s been missing for a week!  What do you think is going on?  Something has happened and the police haven’t done anything since Tuesday.”  I interrupted Mary with my…

  • In a Corner

    “People just don’t disappear,” I told the police officer perched on the edge of my couch.  “I know my sister, she has never been out of contact for this long before.  Something has happened.”  “How long has she been out of contact?” He asked looking back at his notebook.  I tried not to snap.  I had already told him at least three times that…
