Same-sex Stories

Just a Short Story I created for English. Hope you Enjoy ^_^

Ring, Ring! There's the bell, it's time for lessons! What are you learning today? Romance behind closed doors? Speculation in the cafeteria? Outrage in the sports hall? Or meddling ex-girlfriends getting a bit jealous. Join Daniel and Alejandro as they learn to navigate the tricky corridors of love against professionalism and at Oakwood High. This was never lost in translation and always found on the map. Note: some lines are spoken entirely in Spanish! I recommended having a translator for the best experience, or be like Daniel and clueless it out.

These are 3 poems from my book The A to Z of You and Me. Book Synopsis: "First published in January 2017, The A to Z of You and Me is a collection of 26 love poems. The poems featured in this publication are all dedicated to my boyfriend and tell my experience of our story in an honest way. Feelings expressed within the poems range from those of adoration and love to those vulnerable moments of isolation and neglect. Throughout the book, these conflicting emotions clash in a harmonious symphony, painting the whole picture of the relationship, with all its struggles and rewards."

I never thought I could meet someone like this...

Hello, my name is Saphirra Washington. I am 15 years old, and I don't have a perfect life as people would think.I thought that my life wouldn't change. I thought I would come home to the same abusive mother, same working father, and same annoying siblings. Every night I would have this dream, this dream of hope that somehow something would change. But I had little hope that this would actually happen but,let's find out.

Okay so I wrote this for a Civics project a little while ago and I liked the story so much, that I decided to put it on here. Enjoy!! P.S. Its going to just be in one chapter. P.P.S. All rights go to artist for the cover.

"We're planning on meeting with Sarah and her parents next week. How would you like that?" "That sounds...brilliant." Will plastered on a fake smile and tried to sound excited. It was difficult when he'd just discovered where his feelings truly lay. Not with a total stranger, but with someone he'd known for years. Life in Restoration England isn't easy for William Garnett, especially when he realizes he's falling in love with a boy-his best friend, Augustus. After London's Great Plague claims Augustus's youngest sister, their parents turn to trusted friends. Augustus and his other sister are sent to safely live with Will's rich family in the English countryside. Will is anxious as he hides his feelings from both the object of his affection and his domineering parents. But he lets go when their feelings become mutual. Will and Augustus brazenly defy society and Will's parents by secretly pursuing their romance. Will's strait-laced parents have already planned his future: an arranged courtship and marriage to Sarah, the daughter of another wealthy family. They're also pushing him into an accounting position in the family business. His gifted sister Lily would be perfect for the job, but her priority is to start looking for a husband--even at age thirteen. Yet there might be hope for Will and his sister! Their free-spirited uncle believes they should follow their own path. But just when things seem to be looking up, everything goes wrong. Through a cruel twist of Fate, the boys are left to fend for themselves while in grave danger. As the repercussions of deviating from their rigid society are staring them down, they are faced with a daunting choice that could destroy their lives: Will they follow the rules, or follow their hearts?

The stories of my childhood. The stories of my continuously changing self. The stories of me. These are the stories that tell about what my life has been like, and show how I am changing over time. This is a collection of vignettes that showcase my memories and my personality. After all, I'm just a different shade of beige. (Inspired by The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros)

This was my research paper for my college writing class. I had to present all the sides: con, middle, and pro.
