I saw his sad eyes and I noticed that he had a broken heart. He wasn't a heartless monster just like everyone claimed he was. If you look closer you'll see the past that he couldn't forget and the truth he couldn't accept. And if you didn't listen to what everyone said. You would have known by now that this boy was just trying to hide his tears. Because It wasn't for the world to see. _____ Just one of those stories you didn't choose who you will fall in love with.

It was the summer of '93, and the weather was almost hotter than the location. But then again, what could be hotter than hell? The Ninth! Some would assume that the steam which rose from the broken sidewalks in front of the brick apartment building justified the neighbor hood's nickname, the Ninth Circle of Hell. The heat wave however, had nothing to do with why people associated Messalina projects with Dante's Inferno. No, that honor went to the infestation of dealers, crack heads, boosters, and hoes. Dope boys handled their business like it was legal, and everyone learned to look the other way. If they didn't learn, then they never got the chance to look again. Life in the ninth operated by the code of the wild, predators ate and prey got eaten. The drug dealers sat on the top of chain. Boosters, strippers and hoes fell somewhere in the middle, while the crack heads and the civilians clung to the last wrung. Everyone knew their assigned roles and no one ever deviated from the script. Cleopatra James, an unremarkable thirteen year old girl, understood better than anyone, her dictated place in the procession. But that didn't mean she accepted the role she'd been given to play.

I hated Zane Khan. I hated the way he was so cocky and sure of himself. I hated the way he always knew how to get under my skin. I hated the way he always pretended not to care. He wasn't a nice person; he's made that clear. Yet I still can't stay away from him. But what I hated about Zane the most, was how he made me fall irrevocably in love with him.

************************ " You know what, I'm not gonna be one of those bitches who will walk away after confessing their love, I can see it in your eyes Grey, this isn't a Disney fairytale, if need be then I will be your princess on a horse, I will save you from all of it. I will fight, I will even wait for you in my pj's if that's what you want, but I promise you I won't leave unless you tell me to, well even if you asked me too, I will still need to think it thrice before leaving." She turned to head out of the room, it was then that I felt like a bucket full of ice was being dropped in my pants. My hand had moved to her shoulders to stop her. "I.... I.. I'm afraid Vero, if you leave me I would...." she turned so fast and pulled me into a bone crushing hug and for the first time in a long time-maybe never- I felt at peace and at that moment I wanted her to keep it, I wanted her to mend it and when it was healthy and beating I wanted her to have it. I was giving her the one thing I guarded the most My heart.

(Currently editing/rewriting) A story of a love that is out of this world! A story between Mason and Amira who met and fell in love in grade 12. They come from different culture and background which put their relationship to the test. He made a promise to her one night and she held him to his words forever. He was the high school hockey captain (Mr. Popular) and she was only trying to be a wallflower in this high school experience. When you meet the love of your life everything makes sense. In a million years they never knew they could experience something so out of this world so young. A journey for the one thing in life that we are all capable of. Love.

There really wasn't any stopping it. It wasn't my fault that my skin was as dark as the night, or my nose was broader than any other's, my hair was always rough looking and broke easily. There was nothing I could do, because to them I will and always will be, the black girl. HR: #3 Short Story Graphic by caesium-
