"Come one, come all, to a circus filled with laughter and terror, taking flight and falling down, a place where being a kid never fails." - Cirque De Vol
"It sounds like you fit right in," I remarked with a lopsided smile.
"I do it for the money," he shook his head and scowled. Even though he looked away from me I could tell that this wasn't just a gig for the money. There was a special spot in his heart for what he did here, something that he probably wasn't ready to admit to himself.
"Whatever."
* * *
There are some days where we never see something coming, not even in a million years. For Erin Becker, it was watching the Connecticut state college football star, Cooper Rosen, wearing a white leotard and flipping around in the air at a circus. Perhaps in a twist of fate, or just pure luck, she finds herself with this NFL player-to-be bowing down at her feet with the promise to do anything so long as she doesn't tell.
Without any actual idea what she wants, Erin leads Cooper around with tiny requests that range from getting her Swedish fish everyday to teaching her tricks high up in the air. In a tale of discovering what it means to remember what it's like to be a child, the duo unwrap their lives and indulge into a new one.

7 Minutes In Heaven
The bottle landed on me, butterflies shot up and down my stomach. I was going to be in a cloest for a full 7 minutes with the one and only; Jake Hefferson. The school's quaterback and heart throb. We were like the worst mix, I was a straight A student and he was just the jock of the school. The only reason I was at this party was because it was my best friend; Molly's boy friends party. It took her for ever trying to convience me too come, and now I really do regret it. Jake was hot an all but he had the worst personality ever, he had a new girl wrapped around his arm everyday, and they don't seem to realise he only wants to get in their pants. 'Great' He muttered.

Can't Stand You
I closed my eyes tightly until I heard laughing. No, I could feel the laughing. My eyes sprang open to find Miles on top of me. I was laying flat on my back in the dirt with my glove with the ball inside pressed against his chest. Miles was not at all fat, but he was 6'2 compared to my barely 5'3. I could feel his chest rumbling and shaking with laughter as I lay humiliated on the ground. "I didn't know you liked being on the bottom," Miles said loudly. The whole field cracked up with that. I struggled under him and shoved him off of me. All of the guys were howling with laughter as I got up and swiped all the dirt off me. "Pervert," I muttered, before tossing the ball out of my glove to hit him in the thigh. I stalked across the field without another word. The whole team was in hysterics as I shoved all my things in my bag and practically ran off to get away. ...

Sadie, Enchanted
A story of growth. A story of friendship. A story of love. Also a story of constant clichés and some slightly-unbelievable-situations, but that's fine. It's the story of Cinderella. Or, at least, it's the story of Sadie and Noah, which happens to involve Cinderella. You see, this isn't just any Cinderella story. It's a story about two very different people who wind up in a quite peculiar situation together. Their only way out of this situation is to put differences aside and work together. Their journey, which involves a few fires, an idiotic prince, a couple of evil villains and, of course, a ball, awaits. Are Sadie and Noah ready to take on such a challenge? You'll have to read to find out. ** "Look, believe me or don't believe me, but look around you. You're here whether you like it or not." Constance said, crossing her arms as she floated behind the two. They turned around to face her. "And why are we here again?" Sadie asked, beginning for the first time to feel scared. She felt like she didn't know anything about life anymore. Everything had suddenly taken so many different turns. Nothing was what she thought it was. Constance uncrossed her arms. "Oh. I need your help to save Cinderella."Complete
Changed me
Time was standing annoyingly still and I think I may have forgotten how to properly breathe. "Panda you have to come sit down pacing is not going to-" pushing my hand out I stopped him from saying anything. I stopped him from confirming the knowledge that there is nothing I can do to make this better. I pulled at my hair ripping a couple of strands out in the process. I hated the white walls and fluorescent lights that adorned this place. The squeaky sound that could be heard whenever anyone walked and right now I was causing a lot of squeaking. The strong smell of disinfectant burning my nose but none of it matter right now not any of it. "Where is he?" I heard the voice and my blood immediately started to boil. "You did this" was the last thing I said before I flew and was on top of his mom hitting her wildly. So much for not liking confrontation.Complete

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body.

The Bad Boy Nerd
"New student, right?" the Principal asked me. I nodded meekly, hoping that he would turn out to be a patient suffering from short term memory loss and would forget about detention but his next words confirmed how rotten my luck was! "Mr Spencer, Ms Wilson" he began in an icy calm voice," creating a raucous in the corridors right outside my office isn't exactly a heroic thing to do. Both of you have an option of either a week detention together or a two week detention together." My eyes shot wide open, "One week detention with him! That's practically impossible for humankind!" "I don't want to risk my bright IQ by serving detention with this psycho!" I heard Spencer jerk protest. "You have an IQ???" I looked at him, giving my best shocked expressions, "Is it the joke of the decade or joke of the century???" "Since you didn't react to my calling you a psycho, it confirms that you are one." he shrugged calmly. My brain was ready in an instant with a smart answer to that. I opened my mouth to give it back to him--- "STOP." The headmaster yelled, the pulse in his temple was throbbing red in fury. "The options are now changed to three week detention or four week detention." he muttered in anger. ***** Andrea Wilson was looking forward to having an ordinary life in school. But things don't turn out as planned when she accidentally gets into the bad books of the hot nerd in school.

I couldn't breathe properly, what was he going to do to me? Was he going to kill me? No- he wouldn't, would he? "Speak!" He yells in my face causing me to flinch back, a sob crawling up my throat as more tears fall from my eyes. I nod my head frantically. "Y-yes!"
