High School Survival Theory
Life is hard. Specially when you're a high schooler. You can never know when your life is about to go up. And you 'especially' can never know when it's about to go down. But you can always take some precautions to avoid outcome of the hit. At least that's what I thought before the great 'Ashton Fellan' (pardon the sarcasm) interposed himself in my life. ... "We don't have the prettiest history. We didn't exactly like each other when we first met. You're my rival's girlfriend. We weren't interested in becoming friends with each other. But now in this difficult time, we're befriending. You'll help me to find the person who leaked that photo and prove to the coach that the article was not a self-promo to challenge his ideology." "What's in this for me?" "I won't report on you for invading my privacy. Trust me when I say my dad knows people." I roll my eyes. Never get mixed up with people with money. But maybe a little help won't be so bad after all. So I take his hand and shake it. "Okay, we have a deal." He smiles. "Now let's drink to celebrate." And I already have a bad feeling about this. *cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2020 SHEONACC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete

He exhaled on the risen platform in the park, watching the sun sink back to where it came from. "Why is that I always feel so subtly melancholic seeing this grand view." She smiled serenely. "Because it is so beautiful. The most beautiful objects, the most beautiful views, and the most beautiful moments of life always gift us with the most deep and sad emotions."

I Was Born Free
Terrible things happen to good people. Such is the world we live in. It doesn't matter who or what you are, sometimes there's no avoiding despair. There are those who lose loved ones, and can't cope with the pain. Those who are cast out by society, just for being themselves. Those who would do anything for the people they care about...even kill. We always question the things that happen to us, and wonder why we were unlucky enough to have it transpire. Maybe there is an all powerful force, with a plan, and a reason for these horrible events. Or maybe there is isn't, and we humans are all we have. The world is very cruel..but it can also be..quite beautiful.Complete
