Stardust and Moon Rust

Howl at the moon, scream at the stars, say hi to the sun, sure ― promise me one thing, though, that you won't get lost. It's a big world out there, little boy, and you're not ready to face it just quite yet. #486 chicklit 2/23

Up, Up and Away

used to be named "Supergirl." - When Walt gets broken bones and glasses handed to him on a silver platter, because he didn't do an obnoxious jock's homework, he wonders if life would be better if he didn't exist at all. When Holly wanders the streets with a rib cage that's missing a joyful heart, because she is never...

Bigger Than Life

"Even from a distance, Nixon Young has an aura of maturity. The way he carries himself, the rolled back of his shoulders, his tall and confident posture, the lazy way his eyes skim his surroundings- it's hard to explain and to formulate into words, but it just shows. All of Nixon Young screams maturity. It's hard to...

The Gentleman's Code

"What's your name, again? Rowell Forest Hill something, right? But wait, I don't really care. Not really. Just try not to keep on forgetting that I have wrists and can twist them to turn a door knob. Just, stop." Robert Hills is a gentleman and everyone in town knows that. Everyone. But when he decides to show off his...

She is Not Made of Roses

Rosie Alder-Pembrook isn’t planning on letting her ultra-feminist club get shut down due to the senior class council’s budget cutbacks (and to be honest, it’s kind of killing her senior year buzz). But when it seems that the only way to revive it is to strike a deal with the semi-sexist/mostly ignorant Class Council p...

Nora Gives Up The Galaxy

Nora Blake repels ordinary. Adam Clarke is constructed entirely of ordinary. ● ● ● "I don't want to share you with the galaxy, Nora Blake," he says quietly, and all at once, all the stars inside my chest are being flung across the universe a...

Not all Blondes do Backflips

Stereotypes. I hate them. On my first day at my new school, a girl in a blue and white cheerleader's uniform told me I 'looked like a cheerleader' and asked me to come to tryouts. I almost decked her. Blonde hair and blue eyes do not a cheerleader make. Cheerleaders can be bitchy and mean but they can also act all hap...

the rest of us

Most stories are about people. People who fall in love. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories? Are they not worth telling too? So this is not a love story. But who knows maybe there will be an essence of romance. But probably not. Because romance isn't real. It's a pass time for the bored. All Rights...

Toxic Tutoring

Norah Appleton has a rather odd problem. She can’t seem to sit down and study for her life, and it’s not even like she has the slightest signs of ADHD or dyslexia. She just cannot study. When she looks at the words dully carved into her physics book, all her mind can wonder about are tales of Greek gods which, from he...

The Baby Whisperer [ON HOLD]

Three things you need to know about Theo Dawson: 1. Theo is a GIRL. 2. Theo has blue hair. 3. Theo is a babysitting goddess. Three things you need to know about Oliver Wood: 1. He's not a Harry Potter character (and therefore doesn't play Quidditch). 2. He’s on the swim team - and he likes to show off his rocking body...

Rubber Bands

"They stretch and stretch, two ends being held until one falters and snaps. And as expected, one end suffers a little bit of a sting." "So you like rubber bands?" "I guess, they aren't exactly significant." "Well I just thought since-" "They don't mean anything." *** Dakota Brooks was that girl at school that everybod...
