A Bunch of Short Stories

Looks Can't be Deceiving

(Background info: You look like an emotion. You're named after your looks. That's it. No love story. No adventure. Just a group of friends.)

I woke up bright and happy. I looked in the mirror. I sighed.

We each have abilities. I have the ability to calm people down. It's amazing. I'm Serene. Me and my friends meet in our usual place at our usual time. As usual, Insanity is early. "Hey girl!" She says, making a silly face. She could make anyone too close to her insane. Next, Bravery came and sat with us. "Hey ladies." He laughed. He can make people act bravely without thinking. Ugh. Next, Clever showed up. "Hey guys." She can temporarily make people more... adaptable. Bravery has a crush on her. It's adorable.

We look very different, like our names. I have light blue skin and a delicate and fragile body type. I'm small and rarely noticed. I have lighter blue hair and navy blue eyes. My hair is medium length and curls up at the end. I wear sky blue shirts, loose, with 3/4 sleeves. I wear blue jeans and blue heeled oxfords. My blue wasn't like Sad's blue. It was like Peacefulness's orange, but blue. I don't really know how to explain, but it's like the infinite sky, stretching in all directions with seemingly no end. 

Bravery wore a pale green tee and an army green jacket. He had green cargo shorts on with high-top sneakers. His hair was a spiky mess. His olive green skin looked strange in the morning sun. The bright smile plastered on his face, matched with his bright green eyes like emeralds that could light up the gloomiest room.

Insanity has neon purple hair in careful waves. She has bright purple skin and a neon pink tee shirt. She has neon pink shorts and neon purple flip-flops. Her eyes are a beautiful violet color. she had a bright red Glasgow Smile painted on her face with makeup, and white eyeliner. She looked like something straight from a movie.

Clever has medium length, straight, dark grey hair that she wears down. She has on a light grey tank top. Her steel gray eyes pop agianst her pale gray skin.. She has a grey skirt and black sandals. 

This is where everyone hangs out: The parking lot of the mall. Well, it used to be. Its an abandoned mall, so on rainy days we hang in there and go to hang out and explore the old shops, but today's a calm sorta cloudy day, so we're gonna hang outside. There are a few cool things that have been set up by Hostile and his friends Immature and Mischievous. A skate park, race track, wresting wring, basketball court, baseball field that doubles as a football field, and lots of bleachers. There were people everywhere, hanging in cliques. The positives, the negatives, the neutrals, the angry, the bold, the timid, there were too many to count. We all know each other. We all have strange connections.

Ok so I'm gonna make this one a two parter cause I have no inspiration to write any more and I wanna get this up. -Laur
