Happiness is supposed to be the key to life.
It's supposed to make everything ok.
But it doesn't.
Life is a funny thing, it's like a roller coaster.
It can take you high and it can take you low.
But it's your choice whether to scream, or enjoy the ride.
But lately I wonder what happens when the roller coaster stops.
When that roller coaster we call life malfunctions.
When your stuck in one place for a long time.
With no hope of getting down.
Two years after the tragic accident that killed her parents,
Skye Waters is moving from Melbourne to Brisbane to live with a family friend.
Only that friend has eight boys. Boys, not girls, boys.
Having lost all hope of ever running professionally again,
And now with the new onset of eight boys to deal with,
Skye's life is one of misery.
But with a little help, friendship, love, and a new mindset, Skye has a goal.
A goal to race the track again.
Can she achieve her dream? Or will it all crumble to dust,
Just like the rest of her life.

The girl from New York
Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."

Camp Where The Hell Are We? | ✓
Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos. He absentmindedly tucked a loose flyaway behind her ear. Right then. Another crack in her last line of defence. Another rolling back of a wave, gaining strength, beating against the tired concrete. Another overflow rolling above the wall, droplets racing to sink into her every vulnerable place. Another enigma - still being afraid, while watching the water, and feeling the ache " ☼ Praise for 'Camp Where The Hell Are We?'
