Hidden Life

Shayla May walked down the halls of HBH, HorseBreak High. It was her first day of high school, to be exact. Suddenly, a horde of students, probably all of the student body, washed over her like water. But they weren’t heading for her. They were heading for a girl who had just walked in. She had lovely blonde hair, and crystal blue eyes. They met eyes for a second, then the girl looked away quickly. But then the girl walked over and stopped right next to Shayla’s locker. It looked like they were going to be having lockers next to each other. ...

Sweet Sixteen

Weekly Contest #315

“Let’s go, Blaine…” Dad calls. I’m sprawled on my bed. I sit up, then run over to my closet.As I go out the front door, I grab my crocheted sash Grand Ariana made for me. I check the contents in it:-a mini notepad and pen,-a few rubber bands to tie my hair,-my used phone,-a flashlight. It’s the bag I bring with me about everywhere. It’s one of the reasons Grand Ariana is the best grandmother in the world.“Blaine!” Dad calls again, a little more sternly. “I’m coming!” I yell back, rushing down the stairs. I pull on my sneakers and Dad smiles,...

I’ve Never…

Weekly Contest #293

I’ve Never…I’ve talked to a stranger before. Yup. I’ve broken my pinky promise with my mother. But, to my defense, if it was really like that, I’d never would’ve dared to befriend kids from my school, right? Also, it was really on accident. I’ll tell you the story if you want. Okay, here it goes: I shuddered as I walked through the plane. I’ve never walked—or have rode a plane before. I thought of the time I beamed so brightly during my ballet competition. It was my third year. My first two years were pretty bad—all just improving. My first ...

I’ve Never…

I’ve Never… I shuddered as I walked through the plane. I’ve never walked—or have rode a plane before. I thought of the time I beamed so brightly during my ballet competition. It was my third year. My first two years were pretty bad—all just improving. My first competition of the year, on March 12th, 2025, Wednesday, was the first time I’d ever gotten into finals at my competition—ever. I remembered the stage lights flowing down towards me, my makeup shining brightly, sweat streaming down my body and face. But it was the single best experie...

My Name Is Kingsley

Weekly Contest #288

“Kingsley!” I turned around, shivering. A breeze brushed through me. Even though it was sunny San Diego, winter was cold this year. It was Saturday, February 1st, 2025. In Sweetland Trails, (my address was 9089,) everyone knew each other. Sweetland Trails was a part of our neighborhood, named Olving N., after the famous artistic director at the dance company, Utopia Dance. He lives in one of the biggest houses in Olving N. Neighborhood. I live in one of the smallest houses. We don’t have backyards. We have a small side yard. I was biking wit...

Starting Over

Weekly Contest #283

Starting Over By: Elan Leem “All right, we’re here,” Dad said as he opened the car door. I was jittery all over. I stepped out of our rustic blue Honda and marveled at our new home. Wow. It was…big. Tall, wide, modern. Picture this: white walls, wide windows, wide tile front yard with palm trees, shouting “exciting tropical vibe.” I peered through the side door to the backyard. It was big. I think I saw a pool. Dad opened the trunk and pulled out a few big suitcases. My flip-flops slapped my heels as I took steps. “You excited?” I shrug...
