Dropped Coffee
Jackson came busting into the room like he owned it. I dropped my coffee onto the floor, but managed to move my already broken toe out of the way just before my mug shattered on top of it. “What-” I managed to stutter with hot black coffee dripping down my legs. Without a word, Jackson…

The Ultimate Horror
My mother showing up at school was my ultimate nightmare. She never could hold her tongue and always lost her mind over the smallest slight or inconvenience. She was the main reason I hardly asked my friends to come over to my house. Whenever I did, she always made the night about her and everyone…

The Football Game
I knew the entire semester would come down to this single football game. If we won, everything would be perfectly fine and my plans were on track. Part of me wanted to tell Alex what was on the line if he played up to his capabilities, but this was my problem, not his. The more he…

“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…
