Since the night I snuck out with Liam, two weeks had passed. And I don't think me and him have stopped talking for a single moment. Even now, while I was sitting at the breakfast table with David, my phone was in my right hand while my left hand carried a spoon of Frosted Flakes cereal to my mouth. We had been texting about what plans we each had for tonight. Today was the fourth of July. "So are you just constantly checking your teeth in your phone? Or is there actually something, or someone, causing you to smile so much the past couple weeks?" I heard David ask suddenly, causing me to pause mid text/bite. I looked over at him and he was gri

Inside David's car, it took awhile for either of us to say anything. The awkwardness had begun, and anything I wanted to say or talk about wouldn't have helped the uncomfortable atmosphere between us. I sat stiffly with my legs together, tapping my feet to a random rhythm in my head. David had looked over at me a few times, as if he was going to start conversation- but never did. We'd gotten about 15 minutes deep in silence when David finally broke it. "Haven you eaten today?" He asked, seeming tense. "Uh... no actually. I wasn't very hungry this morning." "Well are you hungry now?" Before I could voice my answer, my stomach did. David c

The way she smiled made me want more Her happiness was my happiness and my heart fluttered every time I looked at her She was as perfect as every woman wanted to be Her golden locks shaped her curvy figure as they spiraled down to her waist She had bright blue eyes that shined and freckles that sprinkled across her sun-kissed skin She sat with a delicate smile stitched onto her face Literally She was my precious doll Perfected to her full potential of beauty She took time, effort, and lots of trouble I was beginning to get aggravated at all her screams and cries She wasn't very appreciative of how beautiful I was making her And at no cost,

   I sat down between my friends Ashley and Leah. We'd been at this party for about 3 hours and it was getting close to midnight. Half of the party decided they wanted to play Truth or Dare, while the other half stayed outside in the backyard. Swimming, singing, and dancing to whatever trash rap music was playing. The party didn't end till about 10am due to people having to stay the night for being too drunk. We were teens, but we were responsible for each other when it came to drinking. For example, Leah and Ashley were drinking, and I was the designated driver. I didn't mind, I didn't even like the taste of beer, I drank wine coolers instea

    "Lucas, this is a very bad, bad idea. Mommy and Daddy will be mad if they catched us not in school." Sally pleaded as her brother dragged her inside their house.    "Mommy and daddy are at work. And it's 'caught', Sally, not 'catched'." Lucas said in a matter-of-fact way, "They don't even get home till 6 o'clock , which is way after we originally come home from school anyway." He explained to his little sister after closing and re-locking the front door. As soon as the door was closed, Sally ran to the front room window and placed herself on the ground. She cupped her hands around her eyes and scanned the outside of the house.    Luca
