Hanging her pouch over her shoulder, Sandra looked towards the open front door. Partially blocked by a figure, the sun streamed into the house in slits. With one hand on the door, Lynn stepped aside, letting in a young teen girl dressed in shorts and a spaghetti top. Sandra recognized her student and called out warmly, “Oh hi Valerie. You look even prettier outside of class.” The girl rolled her eyes and flipped her long hair over her shoulders. “Yeah whatever.” She turned to Lynn, her voice low and carrying a hint of respect. “Mum and Dad aren’t around as usual, so they sent me for Kyler.” “Sure.” Lynn placed a hand on Valerie’s shoulder and smiled. “I’ll go get her.” Sandra watched her friend bound up the stairs and disappear down the hallway. Alone with the teen, Sandra looked her over. The girl’s fashion sense was pretty good. Her clothes were from a trendy brand, along with the bracelet around her wrist. “Nice outfit. I like the accessory,” Sandra remarked. Valerie gave a

The police station's front door swooshed open, accompanied by a loud holler. “Guess who dropped by with snacks?!” Every head in the station turned to see who the noisy intruder was. Looking up from his cup of coffee, Thomas craned his neck over the corner of the pantry. A wide grin split his lips. “Alby! What are you doing here?” He sauntered over to the front desk, careful not to spill his coffee. A growing crowd of people surrounded Albert, so he had to elbow his way in. One hand covering the top of his cup, he edged to the front where Albert was handing out boxes of pizza. After many a slap on Albert’s back as an expression of thanks, the crowd thinned. “Wow, what’s the occasion, man?” Thomas laughed as his eyes drifted over the assortment of potato chips in Albert’s remaining bag. “My office had a celebration for the festival and some guy went overboard in ordering food. So I thought I would bring some over.” Grinning, Albert slung a meaty arm over Thomas’s shoulder. “I

Leaning on the car bonnet, Thomas let out a long breath. This was not how he had planned for this evening to turn out. Even a boring normal would be better than this series of disasters. After hearing what Dina said about Sandra's nightly activities, he couldn't help dwelling on it. But he couldn’t muster the energy to sort through the information or his feelings for Sandra. He dragged a hand down his cheeks. For now, he would settle this vandalism issue and then go back to a warm bath and sleep. He angled his wrist to look at the old-fashioned, analog watch that sat snugly on his arm. The female culprit should be coming round the bend anytime. He pushed himself off the car and straightened up. Parked behind a few medium-height trees, the car couldn’t be seen from where the girl was likely to appear. He glanced towards the main road where a few cars zoomed past. Boy did he want to join them on the way home. A silhouette in the corner of his eyes snagged his attention. Turning

As fate would have it, seated near the front of Tamm’s snug restaurant was Albert. On the plate in front of him was a large, half-eaten serving of fried rice. As he dug into his food, the tinkle of the bell by the door stole his attention. Seeing Thomas and Marsha walk in, he beamed and eagerly waved his friend over. Thomas responded with a raised hand in greeting. He placed his order at the front counter, enduring a round of teasing from Tamm and Marsha before sauntering over to Albert's seat. He sidled into the plastic bench opposite his friend, eyeing the fast receding grains of rice on the plate. “Hey slow down, man. I barely got here,” he teased, dealing a slap on Albert’s meaty bicep which bulged under the striped shirt. Albert guffawed and took a gulp of water from his glass. “Alright then.” He placed his spoon and fork down. “I’ll wait until you get yours.” “Thanks.” Thomas unbuttoned his uniform shirt to allow the draft of air to cool his neck. “How’s it going?” A grunt

No one liked to visit the school backyard. A secondary forest lay right behind the wire fence. Snakes, ghosts, and an assortment of monsters lurked within it, depending on who told the story. Any soul who entered the area would leave tainted or hurt. Adults passed it off as superstition, reasoning that it wasn’t well-tended to. They let the kids believe in such nonsense because it kept them out of trouble. So far, it worked on even the most rebellious of teens. Its seclusion was why Sandra had chosen this spot to meet. Yet she cast a furtive glance around as she paced the length of the empty backyard. Biting down on her bottom lip, she looked down at her phone. It was only two minutes past their arranged meeting time. She cursed under her breath. Letting out a long sigh, she told herself to keep her cool. He was probably held back by something. She might as well use the time to prepare her speech - if you could call it that. “Okay okay,” she muttered to herself. “Let’s start from

Loud dance music boomed in the small pub, drowning out the scatters of conversations. Working people and some college-level kids dominated the population. Most were dressed casually; some of the working stiffs were still in shirts but with loosened ties. Harry had already changed his uniform into loose-fitting pants and a checkered shirt. No point sticking out like a sore thumb and attracting attention, when all he wanted was a relaxing conversation to destress. “Tell me honestly, Harry. Is it wrong of me to fantasize about Lynn?” Harry paused, his lips brushing the rim of his beer mug. He regarded his half-drunk friend with concern and sighed. “It’s not exactly wrong.” Across the table, his friend took another swig of his beer and belched. “It’s either a yes or a no. You’re with the police, so you should know.” “Oh wait,” he paused before laughing. “I just rhymed!” Harry placed his mug down and massaged his forehead between thumb and forefinger. “Ron..” “Okay okay fine. I won’t

Thought you guys might wanna know. www.timestoday.com/server-leak-throws-doubt-on-politician-affair.html @ sansan4ever: Ahh I’m rushing to lab now! But I’m like dying to know??? Can you summarize pretty pls?? What did Sam say?? 15:55 @ kai: Meh Sam had a whole discussion about privacy, feminism, and politics. But anyway the article said someone hacked into that politician’s servers. Among other stuff, they found emails from Sandra. Didn’t say much in the article but the gist is that she blackmailed him. @ sansan4ever: *gasps* Wait what?? I don’t get it! Blackmail for what? 16:01 @ kai: Don’t ask me. The affair got leaked out, her reputation was at stake, so she wanted monetary compensation. That’s the story. @ sansan4ever: Unnhhh but but I mean… like it’s true her reputation is affected. Doesn’t mean the affair actually happened, right?? So it kinda makes sense she wants compensation. 16:03 @ kai: Sounds to me like the
