In the hallowed halls of Northbridge College, where ambition mingled with quiet determination, two sisters set upon markedly divergent paths. Aileen, dedicated and diligent in her studies, spent countless evenings poring over textbooks and perfecting essays, her every effort a testament to integrity. In contrast, Amanda, burdened by a lethargy that danced hand in hand with envy, sought shortcuts t...

No one understood

Exactly what I meant

No one heard me right

Explaining is where I went

But no one ever listened

No one heard a word

They kept on playing games

And then a sound I heard

No, I said

Why, I thought

I told them no

And now their caught

The lights flashed red

Then blue, Then white

I yell I heard

And then I light

Then heard screams

Yelling, shouting

I must get out

More yel...

Laughter fills my ears, my vision blurred with blood and tears, “Fucking pest” a deep voice says, “She looks better like this” A woman giggles. Sirens howl in the distance, “Fuck, we better get out of here” The deep voice whispers “Don’t tell on us or next time we will fucking kill you” the woman says, before running off.

The sirens approach, im in to much pain to even notice the arms wrapped aro...

My roommate and I never really got along. We didn’t hate each other, don’t get me wrong, we just weren’t very close. Never on the same wavelength, never riding the same tide.

It made for some funny situations when we wouldn’t communicate very clearly. Her being gone one weekend without notice, me being gone the next. Silly things, simple things.

There was a man in her bed when I got home from cl...

I was sitting in the library doing homework when the bell rang, indicating that lunch had ended. I sighed, taking my dark brown hair out of the hair tie it was in, before packing my German book into my bag. I didn’t notice that a piece of paper had fallen out of it – a letter to my crush, Marcus. I had liked him since he started at our school last year and sat in front of me in English, which is w...

I was saddened to see my next door neighbors go. I watched from my window as they loaded their trunk with green and red suitcases. I watched until I couldn’t see their black sedan anymore.

That was 2 months ago. Now, I watched as the new neighbors moved in next door. A family of four. When I first saw them, they seemed normal. Harmless. The men wore sweater vests and the women wore button up blo...

Riley and Porsha are the bestfriends and do everything together, but when Riley asked Porsha to use her curling iron at 5 in morning. She heard a yes and began to curl her hair, Porsha was awaken by the smell of smoke and burning hair. “RILEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING “! Riley woke up to find herself curling and burning her hair. “AHHHH HOW DID I GET HERE”! Porsha is more distraught that Riley didn’t ask...

“WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!”

I whip around to face Daphne, glaring at me through the leaves.

“I-I’m sorry-“ I stutter. “I j-just though that-“

If looks could kill, Daphne would have killed everything in twenty square miles with the glare she was giving me.

“Oh. I didn’t realize you were _thinking _at all.”

I look over for help, but my friends look as helpless as I do. Especially because they’re...
