“I can’t believe your going with her!” I say as I watch my now ex boyfriend walk away with a girl who wants lust and not love knowing he isn’t a lustful person and also knowing that I want a genuine love with him and not just his body watching him be blind like this is leaving my stomach in knots what did I do to deserve this....

Mary watched as Jason; her brother pulled up to the house. There was a girl in his car with him, its Ann from school. She couldn’t believe her eyes, she knew Ann and her reputation, this couldn’t be good. She walked down the steps of the house when they pulled up to the house.

Ann sat in the car as Jason got out and ran to her side to open the door. As he opened the door he bowed as if she was th...

Boaz ran through his mental list. Thinking of something, he quickly went down the stairs and entered his home office. He shuffled the data files around on his custom kazinoir desk, barely noticing the deep blue patterns of the inlaid kyanite.

“You really are going, then?” Boaz paused and looked up. His cousin leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed.

“Of course. She asked for my help.” He re...

"I can't believe you're going with her!" Arabella shrieked, standing in the kitchen in her cotton nightgown with her fists tightly clenched.

She shook so violently, that the idea of her socking me in the face played out in my head.

The thrill of it tickled me to smile, but I composed myself, schooling my face into outright shock and smoothed into understanding with a furrow of my brow. Arousal ...

Brianna paced herself cautiously down the abandoned side street, now looking more like a concrete jungle than a suburban neighborhood. Bri was always intrigued by this side of town, but her mother would probably have a heart attack if she knew she was walking down this particular part of Detroit.

“I can’t believe you’re going with her!” Sophia exclaimed in a loud whisper from the sidewalk, prompt...

“I can’t believe you are going with her.” It wasn’t a shout. It wasn’t a cry. I was better than to cry over a boy. Especially one as stupid as him.

But when you’ve known someone for years, it hit harder because just when you thought you knew them, they turn on you.

“Rhea, come on, what did you expect?” He seemed angry about my ease.

“What I expected was the boy I grew up with. But I guess that shi...

“Okay, I’ll be ready by five.” He tells Luda, and then walks away.

He’s only taken about twenty steps when Anya catches up with him.

“Vasil, I can’t believe you’re going with her!”

“Anya, we’ve talked about this, you can’t judge her based on a ‘_gut feeling’_. She’s nice and I want to go with her, plus, she needs help getting there.” Vasil says.

Anya shakes her head sadly, and then loo...

Mia woke up on the morning of the much-anticipated prom proposal with a flutter of excitement in her chest. She couldn't help but imagine the perfect moment when Josh would ask her to be his date. As she got ready, she meticulously chose her outfit, hoping to impress him. She settled on a stunning emerald green dress that accentuated her eyes and made her feel like a princess.

Arriving at school,...

The first bell rang, sending students, me included, clamoring to various rooms along the hallway. All except for Queen Bee Sarah Watson.

She was still inspecting her already perfect manicure, the tips of her nails as flawlessly white as her shorter than the dress code allowed skirt and chunky-heeled sneakers.

The second and final bell rang out. A few stragglers raced to claim their seats, pant...

Carter was a little too drunk to have heard the knock on his bedroom door, and way too high to have cared. So there he lay; face down on the engine-block-sized beanbag chair. He’d had the wherewithal to roll himself over in the middle of the night to avoid the whole Hendrix thing.

Anthony knocked once more before just barging in, hoping his brother had also remembered pants. Boxers was enough, h...
