In a Clarinet's Whisper, I find myself caught in a whirlwind of rehearsals and emotions after a moment that changes everything. As I strive to perfect my clarinet solo under the watchful eye of Mr. Shawn, my charismatic band teacher, I can't shake the feeling that our connection runs deeper than just music. His gaze lingers on me during practice, and he calls on me more often, offering compliments that send my heart racing. I tell myself it's all part of his teaching style-after all, I'm one of the lead players-but doubt creeps in, blurring the lines of our relationship. When our conversations shift from music to personal stories, I'm torn between the thrill of our connection and the guilt of crossing unspoken boundaries As Mr. Shawn opens up about his life-his wife's absence and his struggles as a single parent-I feel an undeniable bond forming between us. Each shared moment pulls us closer, yet I grapple with the implications of our growing intimacy. When he compliments my perfectionism, the weight of his words hangs heavily in the air, igniting a mix of excitement and fear Navigating the complexities of our relationship becomes a delicate dance, where music serves as both a sanctuary and a source of tension. Will our shared love for melodies lead us to a harmonious resolution, or will it create a dissonance that changes our lives forever? In a world where music is the language of our hearts, can we find the courage to embrace what lies between us?

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."
