She walks into to the room with a smile that circulate brightness over depressed territories of the planet. She looks at him and then looks at Deva, he understands the look and walks away smiling. She sits besides him. his eyes open, checking hers and then closes again. his hands touches her shoulder, she flinches, pulls away, their eyes search each other.…
I was closing in behind her as she reached the crosswalk. She started to cross, of course I followed. After we crossed the street, she walked for awhile, then she sat down on a communal bench. “May I sit here?” I asked. “Of course,” she replied. A minute or two later, she asked “You look familiar, do I know you?” I stated who I was. Everything clicked after that. We started talking about the old days when nothing really matters. I lost track of time, we sat there for what seemed like minutes. Only to find out it had been a couple hours. We exchanged phone numbers, I told her to keep in touch. We went our separate ways, I called a cab and went back to my…
-- Shalini leaned toward him and placed her head against his chest, her hair draping over his arms. Soon, a gush of cool breeze with a flowery fragrance blew through the amphitheater and impulsively they clasped each other in a passionate embrace. “Oh, I loved you so much,” she mumbled, while he felt her warmth and her scent permeated into his lungs.…
I flipped my hair back with my hand and strutted into the school. My brand new Betsey Johnson leather jacket had caught the attention of some of the boys. I ignored them all and ambled over to my locker, grabbing my world history books out. As I was walking to my first class, world history, my best friend looped her arm around mine. I smiled and we stopped at my classroom, I set my bag down in my seat and we ambled outside. I pulled out two cigarettes and she lit them as we walked to her part of the building.…
All of a sudden her body starts to shake aggressively. The sobs were stifled at first as she attempted to to hide her grief, but they were now overcome by a wave of emotion. All the defences she had built against me, wash away in those salty tears and she falls helplessly to the ground. I rest her feeble head on my lap and burst into tears at the sight of what I have…
It was a stormy, Tuesday night at ‘Walmart’. I walked into the store looking for one thing, and one thing only. A couple minutes passed and then I saw her. I instantly thought she was the one and no one else could satisfy my desperate needs for her. As I walked into aisle 5 I noticed I was not the only one after her. I was insistent that she was going to be mine, so I fought hard and strong for her. The fight felt like it lasted days and nights, but it truly only was about 5 minutes. Fighting for her was challenging, but at last she was mine, I walked up to her and took her to the register. I payed $14.87 for her (including tax), but to me, she was priceless.…
A girl a few inches shorter then I stood in the door way looking scared and cold so I hurried her inside. Her face was full of worry and I walked her over to the fire place draping a blanket on her shoulders. She immediately latched onto my side and began to sob and shake. I felt bad and slightly concerned because it wasn’t everyday a girl ends up in my lap past dusk especially a crying one. She spoke softly with shaken breaths “Thank you for letting me in, I have been walking through the forest for hours.”…
Aisha and I met each other in the 5th grade when we were both placed at the back of the class. She is now a sophomore at Aspire Langston Hughes Academy. Aisha is a 16 years old Pakistani girl who lives with her parents and younger brother She has with wavy purple-magenta hair reminiscent of candy. She speaks with a slight accent and is quite overdramatic. I’ve known for 6 years now. The reason Aisha and I are still extremely close is because we went through the same hardships during our late elementary school years, and she was the only person who kept me alive and sane in middle school and high school.…
They were so happy for me, they told me to go clean up, so I did. While I was combing my hair in the mirrior, I was thinking, what about if her family doesn’t like me, especially her father, which is Charles Dickens. It's 6:00, and I comb my hair one last time, and tell my parents i’m leaving. On the way to her house, I tell myself that everything is going to be fine, and I start singing my favorite song again. I finally reach her door step, and ring the doorbell. She answers the door, and she looks as beautiful as ever. She tells me to come in, and before we ate we talked for a bit. I told her a little bit about me, like how I have been a chimney sweep since I was five years old. I tell her this is my last year as a chimney sweep, because i’m getting to old. Then she tells me about herself, like how she has nine sibling, but one of them died when she was only one year old. We finished up talking, and went to the dinner table to…
I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, feeling so happy and thankful for that decision. Words can never reveal my happiness at that moment. It was the luckiest moment in my whole life. Looking at her face, to be with her, to have her, to touch her, all about is the greatest gift, God has granted me. “I don’t want to lose you.…
My mom’s words really meant a lot to me, but I didn’t have time to thank her for them because the announcer was announcing the final couple of the night. I gave her a quick hug and went to meet Macy. She looked even more beautiful than she had in the store and I couldn’t think of any girl I would rather be with at that moment. We complemented each other perfectly, in looks and personalities. Macy was the only girl for me and it was pretty clear I was the only man she needed as well. We met at the top of the stairs and quickly whispered an “I love you” as the announcer began talking about our lives. By the time the announcer had finished I didn’t want it to be over, but I knew the night could only get…
I heard chairs move around, so I suspected Lin and the officers to come out the door. So, I ran the the other side of the hallway and sat down. Lin was the first on to come out and he ran to me and pulled me up. Once I was up he pulled me close, picked me up, and spun me around. "Mi amor, mi hija." Lin said and I finally felt…
She never missed a band concert, flute recitals or awards ceremonies. Sure, she does not have any knowledge from textbooks to give me, but her abundance of encouragement and enduring love is sufficient. Together, we have walked this prolonged journey toward graduation. There have been moments when the walk was dreadful and I felt myself crawling. Yet, with her over my shoulder, I knew I was not alone. In this journey, I have been blessed with a companion that hopes better for me than for herself. I've learned to appreciate all she has sacrificed to see me walk across the stadium in my red…
I called Savannah-Kay back, with each ring i felt my heart drop further and stomach creep further up my throat. When she answered I couldn’t manage to utter a single word. She couldn’t fathom how i felt and began to tell me the story because she knew that was why I had called…
In my past, I was a partier. I did drink and experimented with drugs. Becoming a mother made me not interested in those things anymore. I was thinking about how to be the best mom I could be, how to better mine and Cheyenne’s life, and what to do next. I believe this is normal when you have a kid. I took all these thoughts into consideration though. I did not grow up knowing my birth family, I was in foster care. I really did not want that for my daughter. To keep this from happening I continued to think, and wanted to…
