This short story was written for a competition when I was in year 9; we were given the theme of a lie to base our stories on. My entry came 1st place for my year group so I thought I'd share it with you. This was written around the same time as I started my novel so my writing style here is similar to the one I'm currently using. It follows the thoughts of a woman in old age as she decides to confess what she never told her best friend.

For reasons he doesn't even know about, Harry has always felt hatred toward her. It could be because of her eyes. It could be because of her smile. Or it could simply be because she's alive. The underlying causes can sometimes come from unexpected depths after all. The only thing he knows for sure is that he saw her as a rival. To defeat her. To humiliate her. To destroy her. For the first 16 years of his life, he drew breaths for those reasons alone. But then... nothing. They eventually went their separate ways, as change is the inevitability that comes with those younger years. Confronted with this sudden change, Harry had no other choice but to keep on moving forward, and finally adapted to a dull, productive lifestyle, forgetting even the fact that he once bore such animosity inside of him. Until he met her again, that is. Her Lie I Tried To Believe is a short novel about the persisting hatred of a boy throughout his life, the destructive relationship that was born from it, and the consequences he had to face as a direct result.
