Cindy Whiteman is not your normal mixed race teenage girl.
Born and raised in New York, at age 16 she was dragged to South Africa by her father so she can learn about her "African Roots".
Instead of meeting lions on your way to school and riding elaphants on the safari, she finds that South Africa is not what she expected.
Crazy aunts and hidden family secrets never crossed her mind when she entered that plane.

If nautical nonsense be something you wish..."
"SpongeBob Square Pants" Kyle came down the wooden stairs and saw the crowd that has now gathered around me.
"Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish"
"SpongeBob Square Pants!"
"Ready?" My feet were stomping the table and Kyle was trying to get through the small crowd. He was standing on the front and he was trying to pull my leg. I stomped on his hand and continued with my act.
I will not let the devil ruin my night.
"SpongeBob Square Pants! SpongeBob Square Pants! SpongeBob....SquarePants"
Everyone started cheering and clapping for me. I bowed down and when I rose back up, my head started spinning. The voices around me were getting smaller and the last thing I saw was Kyle's face.
Just like that...I fell down on the floor surrounded by my own vomit.

Join Cindy on her journey of learning about all the wonders of living on THE OTHER SIDE.

Healing Ivan Wattys2015
*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.Concluida

Living the Life of Zoë
Zoë Block is your average eighteen year old girl. But she's a bit different...She's not the type to go screaming to the mall on seeing a flashy discount, or the kind to paint her nails a colour to match her outfit. Nope, she's the kind that would get her knees scraped and still not utter a word (maybe a swear one), the kind who would jam on her guitar for hours at end just to avoid homework and the kind who would love a biiig tuna-fish sub, with mustard, double cheese and a whole lot of mint mayo... BUT, what will she do when she finds herself falling in love with her cousin? (well, he's adopted, so he doesn't count as a cousin, right?) Will she turn into the typical girly-girl who pines over boys? Or will she remain true to her badass profile? To find out..."Welcome to the life of Zoë Block." :) Author's Note: My username was changed from 'JackHarriesIsMine' to 'diagonAlley' due to certain reasons. Please bear with me.

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out. Part of a friend group because of convenience. Dealing with fighting parents at home. Looking for more in life. Always wanting to get away from Chicago & start over.

Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteConcluida
