I always wished I was like her. Everything was perfect about her. She slays every color she dyes for her hair. While, I go with my natural color, black. Her body proportion was an inverted triangle, while I am more into the rectangular side. The pouty plump lips suit her very much rather than the straight lips that I have. I always loved her amber-green eyes, which mesmerized anyone in my school. She wore contacts while I wore spectacles that were big enough to hide my entire face. She wore crop tops, while I wore baggy sweatshirts to hide m...

You were walking back and forth while pulling your beautifully braided hair back in frustration."H-Honey, I can explain."You halted your fast pace and looked at your mother in disbelief."Explain? You have the guts to explain why in the first place you were kissing my fiance?"You barked at her in response."Sweetie, it's not what you think.""Don't make me punch your face on our wedding day, Mark. You stay out of it. I will come to you when her turn is over."You gave a death glance at your fiance and walked towards your mother who was fidgeting...
Weekly Contest #49
I know if I look around, I will get disappointed. I heavily sighed and closed my eyes in the hope to see him. "He will come." I said to myself and patted my heart to slow down the fast beats. By gathering enough courage, I looked around to see the most important person in my life. I could see couples sitting happily with popcorns, and chitchatting nicely. My eyes wandered everywhere, and I couldn't see properly anymore since tears started to form in my eyes. "H-He didn't come. B-But he said he will." I sniffled my cries and tried hard not t...
Sandra was nervously fidgeting her fingers in her sweater. The sweat was forming on her forehead though the air con was on. It was her first time to be here, and the smell around the room didn't help her either. She was feeling nauseous but controlled it. Her feet were tapping on the white marble floor, and that sound echoed throughout the room. She was the only person sitting there, waiting for her turn to come. She suddenly jerked up a little when the sound of the opening door. She saw a beautiful woman in her twenties, with blonde wavy ha...
Weekly Contest #47
Everyone was busy walking fast carrying bags in their hands, but you were not walking. You were sitting on the bench with a suitcase at platform number 10. Because that's what the message said so. Your eyes were busy with noticing everyone, and you were fidgeting your fingers nervously. A drop of sweat was forming on your forehead, and your heartbeat was beating fast. The sound of your fingers tapping on the case was going unheard. The five million dollars inside your suitcase was gone unseen. No one noticed you, but you noticed everybody. Y...

Rachel and Maggie were making this more difficult for Lily. She was frustrated with her friend's childish behavior."Now, let's think about escaping from this cave."

She knew it was her last night on the earth. She lied on the house terrace by looking at the stars shining dimly on the sky.She sighed deeply by closing her eyes and drifted her thoughts by thinking about tomorrow."Hey, what are you doing here?"Her thoughts were disturbed by her favorite voice. She opened her eyes to look at the love of her life, to whom she had promised to be with forever."Just thinking.""About?""About us." Sam looked at her with a furrowed eyebrows and smiled by her simple reply."Sam?""Yes, honey?""How do you put up with m...

I fluttered my eyes open when I felt something wet on my face, and gets greeted by my pet Jinny, licking all over my face."Aghhh Jinny, let me sleep some more time." I groan at him, and pull my bed sheet cover over my face. I could hear his constant barking, and I am damn sure I can never sleep again peacefully."Fine, fine I am up." I sit up on my bed by scratching my hair.That was the best sleep I ever had after a long time. I sigh and grab my phone from the night table. I rub my eyes constantly to make sure what I am seeing was true.8.20 a...
"Ahhh what a morning!"I stretched my arms, and widely grinned by looking at the other side of the bed where my friend was sleeping.Her bedsheets were on the ground, pillows not under her head, her half leg on the floor, and her remaining body on the bed."Hmm, work from home is stress I guess," I mumbled myself and looked outside. I could see through the window that it was early morning."Why not take a walk?" I grinned by the idea that popped in my head and got down from my bed to visit my favorite place.The backyard.I and my friend Lily, who...
"Where did I keep it?"I was searching through each shelf in my room, to find the instrument that I got as a gift for my birthday, which was few months back."Mom did you see my keyboard?"I shouted and slowly got down from the chair and moved it to the next area for inspection.The door of my bedroom suddenly opened and I looked at my mom, who was keeping her hands on her waist, and giving me a death glare."Then what's this?" She points out to my keyboard and stared the hell out of me.I sighed, and wished I never asked for her help."Mom, that's...

The school bell rang, signalling teachers to get out of our classroom and leave us to have break. My teacher finally stopped dictating the questions, picked her things, and left the classroom.I heavily sighed and leaned on my chair by rubbing my temples. Mathematics.The subject which hates me a lot. I tried to like it but I guess it doesn't. I opened my eyes when my friend Selva, shook my shoulder."Babe, let's go to canteen. I am hungry." She said by rubbing her tummy which consisted of few layers of fat. I couldn't ignore her since she was ...
