Today was the day we met our contestants on the show “Will it win?” The goal was to make an outstanding meal that would win the judges' votes, both in taste and appearance.

My mom taught me to cook, which was our favorite one-on-one time. We’d watch cooking shows, and vote on who’d win. Whoever won the bet, had to make dessert that night.

Walking into the building, Jitters and nerves rushed...

(Also ps. I may continue working on “Bitter with a hint of sweet.” I just wanted a break :)

She stood across the room, witnessing her brother's best friend. Hearts appeared in her eyes. She never realized before, but he’d gotten stronger and leaner. He wore a button-up black shirt and tan dress pants.

His eyes find mine, and I look away shyly. He makes his way towards me. “Are you having...

No recap this time, sorry! Enjoy <3

This morning dragged out slowly. The eagerness to be in the city of Paris motivated me.

One thing I always loved about Leland was his kindness. He never once yelled at me or told me off. One day when we were kids,

“Hey, bring that back!” I screamed. Our school bullies took off with my favorite stuffed dog animal. Quickly, a boy—Leland—ran towards them. ...

Thank you guys for all your love on part 1!! Enjoy!! <3

Little recap —

“Are you James?” I ask.

“No. My name's Helgurt, and it's nice to meet you.”

“Never heard that name before.” I shook his hand, and Leland followed suit.

“I’m Nelima, nice to meet you.” I quickly add, “And this is my friend Leland.”

“Nice to meet you both. But what brings you guys here?”

“We are looking ...

I looked after this sweet old lady. We laughed, danced, and enjoyed each other's company. I met her one day at a local spa, and after that, weekly tea was a given.

“Did I ever tell you about my late husband?” She asked, taking a sip of tea.

“No, what was he like?” I reply curiously.

“He was the kindest soul, he was my muse.” She looked up, lost in memory lane. “He inspired most of my ...

As a young girl, my life was plain and repetitive. Striving to survive and not living. Until my—now—bestfriends… Rowen, a guy with shabby short brown hair, and Leelie, my best friend, who has long blonde hair, rich and gorgeous. Everyone thinks she’s rude, but we knew better. And lastly—my crush—julan—he’s tall, lean, with dirty blonde hair and rimmed glasses. They’ve protected me and have given m...

“Will you ever leave me?” I ask, reaching over to play with Wilfred’s cheeks.

She purs, a slight smile on her face. Then rubs against me.

“Isn’t this so beautiful?” I watch the planets slowly turn around, sunlight shining on them, and their pigmented colors becoming adjacent.

Wilfred sits contentedly, staring ahead.

My braids flow in the wind, pushing my front strands in my face.

...

A tense whisper echoed in the dimly lit valley, “We need to get out of here, now!”

All agents reported to their positions.

“What’s going on?” I reply, tapping on my earpiece.

“Our location has been breached, they know we’re here.”

Adrenaline settles into my blood, pushing my feet forward in a sprint. We jump onto another building, then another, and slide down by a canopy. The van is in s...

(I used this prompt as inspo, but it’s not exactly like it.)

In a quiet courtyard, we sat side by side on the bleachers.

“I love you,” He proclaimed, reaching for my hand, and intertwining our fingers

I lean on him. “I love you too.”

“What if you forget me?” He asked genuinely.

I gently grazed his face with one hand, “I won’t. Not ever.”

“Okay,” He let go of my hand and brought his p...

The darkest light brought eeriness to the lightest parts of Saint Raven. This beautiful and well-cultured place was filled with light. But tonight, of all nights, the celebration of new beginnings, was the happiest of them all.

“Yay! I can't believe we are finally free!” My best friend—onya—says.

“Me either! No more rules for a long time!”

The eerie fog decides to roll in.

“Why is it tha...
