(Brocest) Ash and Aaron are brothers. Without their parents, Ash takes care of his younger brother the best he can. That means they live with seven other people, sharing the rent and making ends meet. Aaron is only sixteen, which in his brother's eyes is too young to have a stable job. Ash, being twenty two, tries to fill the father figure that's missing from his life. When suddenly one housemate can't work, bills pile up. Ends aren't meeting and things become tight. Another one leaves, and Aaron develops feelings he knows he shouldn't be having. With everyone under stress, Ash hatches a plan that could save them from their money troubles, at the same time creating some very odd brotherly bonding. _Nostalgia_

Well, she hates the English kids most of all- And when one girl goes a little too far, the Frenchies team up to take down these English Kids! As class 82-FE grows closer, they begin to realize just who everyone is. This big, disfunctional family will have to stick together if they're going to graduate middle school in one piece.

Dear Reader, It hadn't hit me right away, many things, but especially the fact that I was about to turn twenty years old. It was as if it was just yesterday that I was learning how to make a peanut butter sandwiches, tie my shoes, and draw endlessly with fat crayons--which I thoroughly believed to be a masterpiece. It had to be yesterday, when I was befriending any new person that I met with a dazzling smile. No, those were the years that I was numb--masked from the world and blissfully unaware of the dangers and lingering dark edges of the Chicago city. Life moves fast; terrifyingly fast for some, especially those who try and anchor down each and every day of their existence. For others, it moves drearily slow. I use to be numb, I use to be unaware of the shadows deep within the corners of the earth, the watchful figures around me. I use to draw scribbles, struggle to tie my shoes, and fail at doing the simple things, like tying shoes. I use to make friends with anyone I met and kept that friendship over a promise. I use to do a lot of things, actually. But that was when life was a whole lot simpler, safer, and perfect. That was before I knew about Death. That was before he became my frenemy.
