"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

High school in the early 90s: it was before cell phones and social media, but the problems were the same. How do you get the guy you're interested in to notice you? What happens if you fall in love with your best friend? Why does physics class keep factoring into your love life? This novella is loosely based on my own high school experiences... but sort of an alternate version of them. You can only make one set of choices in life, so it's fun to explore what could have been - but wasn't - in fiction. Also, set in 1991-92, this is kind of a period piece now! In some ways it's a love letter to the teen books I read back in the 80s and 90s, in particular those by Ellen Conford and Paula Danzinger. I hope you enjoy it. This story was featured on Wattpad in 2016.

It's not my fault. I mean, I never asked for any of this. I can't help that it's in my genes. I can't help that I'm fat.

Anxiety is not a joke. This is based on Anxiety, some poems and what not. So, enjoy. Some of these aren't mine, the owners get the credit. (Most came off this website; http://hellopoetry.com with the Anxiety hash-tag) I am using other people's poems and words because its hard to describe. And these poems honestly need to be seen by others. Any hateful comments, will be deleted. Thank you for reading. **WARNING** I guess this is a little triggering. Not really sure, but I'm just warning you now.

While camping a giant monster killed his mother and his father died while protecting his only son with his life. while his father was uttering his last words the monster left one scratch on his right shoulder. What Jace didn't realize was that a simple scratch would alter the course of his entire life. Nearly six years later ,after being in an orphanage for so many years, something happened that is now referred to as "the slaughter of the Rothschild orphanage" by the time the police arrived, after a janitor came to work that morning, it seemed that an animal attack had occurred. The bodies had scratches and bites, chunks of flesh were missing. On some, full limbs. In the rubble and blood only one survivor was found. A thirteen year old Jace Aurum. After this every month he experienced the worst pain imaginable. Every time getting away farther and farther away from his home town. Trying to run from the place that so brutally murdered every ounce of hope he had. Yet every time on the full moon he always wakes up back in his home town. Wandering all over the country for a month at a time, only to go back to square one. Till one day when he wakes up he finds a stranger that is like him and can train him to do things he thought impossible. Follow him on his journey of self discovery to shape his own destiny as he is slowly driven insane by his experiences and choices.

16 year old Megan Hastings, has always been the under-the-radar kind of girl. She lives a normal teenage life, with the occasional hiccup here and there. Everything changes for her when she meets Evan; the indecisive aspiring art student. When she crosses paths with his best friends, cheeky Sam Harrison, and ambitious Victoria Sterling, everything starts taking a turn. From what seems to be a carefree budding friendship, she finds each of their lives and fates are entwined more than she could imagine. Feelings come into the picture, and one’s mind at strife with the heart, each turn brings them deeper into the emotional maze. Misunderstandings, arguments, love affairs, and drama -- Megan never thought that a person could withstand this much, but now it seems to fill every inch of her life. With everyone having their own "skeleton in the closet", she finds herself unwillingly tangled in them, her own past, and with a question that haunts her; What happens now? “The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand.” –Robert Valett
