A old shoe box filled with an old pickle jar, a few old photos, and a letter introduced me and my best friends to the Samsons. I had no idea that years later he would step into my high school and turn my life upside down. My life went into a full out spiral of unpredictable events from that day forward and I had no chance of surviving. One simple decision, two boys, three girls, and a birthday party equals the worst day of my life. The worst part is; I didn't even do it. Or did I? You decide.

A short story of an abandoned bathroom stall door giving desperate, heartbroken girls relationship advice, hot guys incorrectly trying to woo hearts, a stupid dare in action, and irrationality ruling the minds of every character.

This witch lives a charmed life. . . Hadley is the envy of every girl-and the desire of every guy. Her key to magically having it all? She's an actual witch. As a descendant of the first woman executed in the Salem witch trials, Hadley understands the consequences if her secret gets out. The only ones who know about her powers are members of her coven, who, like Hadley's family, have magic in their blood. But there's no spell that can undo a fatal attack on the coven. All the evidence points to an age-old rival coven as the culprit, and now it's up to Hadley to lead the fight against them. At the same time, she's caught up in her feelings for a mysterious guy named Asher, who has plenty of secrets of his own. With everything at stake, can Hadley trust her magic-and her heart?

Sarah's senior year is coming up - and she decided to make the most of it. She is a girl on a mission: living high school to the fullest. Together with her best friend Emma she writes a bucket list for her last year in high school. Sarah is determined to experience everything she has missed out on so far, like "Have a food fight," "Get detention", "Be the hot topic of the rumor mill", "Crash a party" and many more. But little did she realize how her mission affects others as well. Will she be able to fulfill every task on her list? And is she really ready for new experiences, new friends and maybe even a new love...? (PLEASE NOTE: this is the unedited first draft of this story.)

She was the type to stare herself in the mirror and see someone else stare back. Someone who was free and light, being able to spread her wings like an unbound angel. She was neither chained to Heaven nor Hell. Howbeit, no matter how far she reached into the mirror, she could never step through as her ball-and-chain presented itself in the form of a crown. She was a princess with two faces, desperately trying to have a sense of freedom outside of her royal obligations. She found it in the form of a weakness: a passion with another human being. Her love for him and ballet had kept her chin high; her crown not slipping from her pastel hair. So why, why did it suddenly become so hard when a gothic gymnastic back-flipped into her life? Why were her heartstrings being tugged on by someone of her same gender? Why was it suddenly so difficult, so strenuous to keep living in her pastel world when this mysterious girl brought such bright colours with her? TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of sex, suicide and other mature themes will be contained within this book. Read at your own discretion.

Short story I wrote at 3am on the spur of the moment. I hope it brings some peace, joy, and happiness to some of you.
