"Happenstance" He answered without hesitation, looking at me with those eyes that had always been so cold, so emotionless; but for a split second I could have sworn I saw something, and it looked like... uncertainty?
"What?" I was very confused now, I wasn't expecting such a complicated answer, and I'm pretty sure my face showed how I was feeling because I saw him open his mouth to speak again
"Happenstance, a chance event without an apparent cause" He explained, acting as if everybody knew what that word meant, as if it was right after 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' for 'The English Language's most common words'
"What does that have to do with anything?" Now I was really getting pissed off, why couldn't I ever just get a straight answer from him
"You asked me what I think you and I are, and that's what I think we are, a chance encounter, a coincidence, an accident" And at that very moment, I just wished I had never asked in the first place.
Happenstance, who knew such a pretty word could be used in such a heartbreaking sentence.

Love, Anonymous
*Completed* "I just want to know why." I say as I turn over, trying to find his figure through the dark of my room. "Why what?" He asks. "Why you're being so nice to me." I say quietly, vulnerability seeping into my words. "How we even became friends." He sighs, "I want to know how." I scrunch my brow. "How what?" His response is soft, the opposite of his sarcastic personality. "How you don't see it." ******* Reagan Holt was about as average as a high school student could be. She didn't play any sports, didn't participate in the popular activities, and wasn't the girl all the boys chased after. All except one boy. He wrote her a letter every week. Each letter described something new for him to love about her. Whether it was how beautiful her laugh was or how his heart swelled with every smile she gave, he never failed to write how he felt. So the two should be together, right? That's the way Reagan wants it, but there's just one problem. He signs his letters "Love, Anonymous." Now add an obnoxious, conceited, sex god into the equation and you get a teenage girl confused on who really loves her. The sweet, tender written anonymous lover, or the cocky, ignorant asshole? -REVIEWS- "You create such wonderful characters and I can't wait to see what happens next!"

"You are mine now. Just remember one thing nobody gets the privilege of bringing that smile on your face and touching you" he clenched his fsts and moved forward. My breath hitched.

Lifeguard//G.D.
"I don't get why I can't just hang out with one of my friends!" I said, angrily and confused "I just don't have a good vibe from him okay!?" He yelled back "Why does it matter!!!" "I don't want to see you get hurt." Grayson started to quiet down with that sentence, but that didn't stop me from screaming at him. "But that's part of LIFE GRAYSON. IM GOING TO GET HURT AND I WILL LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!" "Well maybe you should find someone who ISNT a mistake" "Why are you acting like this??" I asked him. He turned back towards me and looked me in my eyes. Throwing his arms up in the air, he yelled "Because I LIKE YOU." It was those words. Those four words hit me like a brick.Complete
Wistful Secret
Take a ride with Iris on this beautiful journey, where she learns to live with her past, an hopefully discovers secrets that help her find who she truly is. I sat over the boundary wall thinking all this all by to myself. Sitting on the terrace alone with those thoughts, was the only time I could be myself. Suddenly there was a thud. I was startled but held on firmly. No one is supposed to know I am here, what if they find out.. what will I do.......... I had no answers. With fear I turned around expecting someone familiar, someone who discovered me,my place and waiting for that nagging voice. But what I found was a guy, an unfamiliar face, which brought to me a feeling of relief. But at the same time I felt a strange sensation, feeling I don't know afraid. The guy, clad in yellow shirt and sweatpants, with messy jet black hair, and pretty eyes looking at me with a questionable look. I don't know just what to say. I am feeling I am being interrogated, but how can there be such an effect just with one expression? I mean I should be the one with questions, after all this rather unknown potentially dangerous guy just somehow jumps to my terrace and instead of giving an apology looks at me with those questionable eyes. I wonder who the hell he thinks he... "Ummm... Are u all right miss?"Complete
Love and Darkness
More than just a story. No one knows what happened to him. No one even bothered or cared about him ever since. He's gotten over that phase of him though. Endured, cold, and emotionless. A certain person came along, however, and put an end to that. Forced to move to a new school, this opened up new opportunities and chances to befriend new people, and perhaps as well a new lifestyle instead of the bitter coldness of his blizzard. What if all of that could change, however..? ..what if a certain someone comes along? Will those secrets be revealed? Will his near-emotionless shell crack? Will he re-open his emotions?Complete
That night...✓
"So?" He looked confused. "She's y- your-" I gulped. "My what Aurora?!" He exclaimed angrily. I jumped. "Don't raise your voice at me! She's your daughter! The one night stand created her!" I yelled but not loud enough for any one else to hear. "What the-" he paused and looked at Ivory. I watched him silently. He turned to me again. "Would you say something?" I asked getting nervous. "What do you want me to fucking say?" He asked. "I don't know....." I trailed off. Humans make mistakes..... right? Yes, so therefore three people made mistakes that night. Logan made the first mistake. He cheated on Aurora. Aurora made the next mistake. She drank to forget the mistake Logan made. Ethan, the school's bad boy made the last mistake. He slept with Aurora without a condom. You know what that means yea? You're right, a baby comes. Ivory comes. (Baby gender revealed 😑) Aurora didn't tell the bad boy she was pregnant for him. But now she has the baby and she has to tell him right? I mean it's the only sane thing to do DNA is one of the solutions of course but not when the child looks exactly like Ethan. 😉. The bad boy is obviously not the most sociable person so it wasn't easy of course. For heaven's sake he doesn't even know this girl. But y'all agree that it's not easy to remember a one night stand when you've had many? Well....he remembered actually. Let's get into the story peeps!!!! See you there 😊Complete
A Player's Game
"Why do you care if I kiss other girls? We're not together, we're friends" he stated swallowing his emotions. "You're right, why should I care? Like you said we're friends" I got more angry with each word that came out of my mouth. "You know what? Go makeout with any girl you want, I don't care" I said as I started to walk away. I felt his hand grip my wrist and pull me back against the lockers. His hands cupped my face and the next thing I know his lips were smashed up against mine. *********************************************************************************************************Stella Jones didn't believe in love, only lust.

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

It became more complicated when Christian Woods, the bad boy stepped in. With Destiny playing its trump cards, they'll come across but what happens when you fall in love with that particular 'stay away from' boy? Shakespeare said, the course of true love is never easy and so it is.Maybe it's your same cliché highschool badboy love story but with a touch of salt. Amidst all these drama of highschool and all the outer negative forces putting on their act, will their love sustain? ▪️▪️▪️ ▪️ His lips came closer and mine parted slightly but he diverted and dug his head in the crook of my neck. My fingers travelled through his hairs as he teased me with his lips playfully. Tracing my collarbone and then making it all the way up to my ears. My fingers wrapped around the back of his neck and I crashed my lips on his, perfectly entwining with the buttery movement. Our lips parted as our tongues met, dancing and twirling as if discovering each inch. The continuation of his nibbling at my lower lip dragged it much deeper into more velvety chemistry and more passionately electrifying. When our lips parted, we were utterly breathless. I just lost myself, sitting on his lap and staring into his eyes. "Shall we have breakfast?" I whispered. "I'm having mine right now," he whispered as his lips brushed against my ear and he gently bit my earlobe. "Ah!" a silent gasp left my lips automatically and I felt his smirk against my skin. 🥉Black and Gold Flames Awards © SANYUKTAComplete
