Meetings at the Metaphor Cafe is narrated by four high school students trying to make sense of a complicated, fearful America. Maddie holds her breath each night as the reports of the war dead soberly flash across the screen-knowing her father's picture could be there any day. Mickey must face his parents with the truth about how their dreams for him are not his own. Rhia is stunned by her father who, without warning, abandons his family. And Pari deals with being "the Muslim girl" in a post 9.11 world. These four gather at the Metaphor Cafe and reflect on the inspirational lessons of their English teacher, Mr. Buscotti, who helps them to navigate their troubled waters. They come to understand the powerful words of writers from Twain to Springsteen, discovering that the Metaphor Café is a state of mind-like slavery was and freedom is. They learn as long as they keep their minds open and their eyes focused on their True North, then they will never be lost.All Rights Reserved

The Handsome three ( COMPLETED) by ceblack

"Hey! She already said she was sorry. What more do you want?!" I screamed loudly in his face. His face turned from angry to shocked. No one had ever yelled at him that way at school before. He narrowed his eyes at me."She ruined a very expensive shirt so she needs to be punished for it," he responded, his green eyes lit with hate and anger. "So?! You probably have a million other shirts just like it. You spoiled rich boys have no respect for others. You think you're better than everyone else. Well, let me tell you, you are the worst of the worst." I said. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I realized I had given myself a death sentence as the words flew out my mouth. Duke was quiet for a few moments then he finally replied. "You better watch what you say girly," he said as he brushed past my shoulder. His two buddies following him from behind. I couldn't believe what I just did. It felt so invigorating. I felt as though I had an adrenalin rush. I knew that this feeling would not last for long though because I just gave the H3 a new target. Me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rosette just wanted to have a nice and quiet high school life, however, high school life at Highland High Private school is anything but nice and quiet.

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." ― Mark Twain Link to 72 (Book Two): https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/60951701-72 NanoWriMo 2013 "Stain the Books with the Blood of the Students" Living by that motto, sometimes you cannot help but wonder if it's figurative or literal . . . The greatest high school in the state has a secret. It fosters fear and not respect. It encourages victory without thought, without morals. Its values are that of a society that lives in the dark, that survives in the shadow of honor. Prejudices are rampant. Peers are turned against each other. Propaganda veils the truth. And yet, no one is willing to speak up. Because no matter how dire it gets, being a hero could mean the unspeakable. So, let the massacre begin, let the books be stained . . .

Demons by MerisaMoore

Everyone has their moment. That moment when they're put through this challenge to test them, to see what they're really made of. That moment when they get to show who they really are. That's their moment to be a hero, to be who they've wanted to be for their entire lives. Some falter in their moment, not becoming a hero, but a villain. Others are tempered in their moment, not only showing who they were hiding all those years, but changing, to become a better person, the hero they were always meant to be. This is the story of my moment. The moment that will define me for the rest of my life. The only question is whether I will become the hero, or the villain. Everything started when Ariadne and her best friend, Autumn were going to an assembly introducing the new principal. But from the start Ari feels something is amiss with the new principal and her rules. Why does everyone else seem to be going along with it? As if everything is normal? All except for Erren, the guy from Ari's math class. Why are they the only ones who thinks something wrong? How are they going to convince the others that there's something going on? And more importantly, how are they going to stop it?

Letters For You by alexeboileau

This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you. Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about. It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again. I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind. I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say. So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy. With all my love, Emily

School Lockdown by brooke912

COMPLETED "He pointed his gun at my head and yelled "You really want to pick a fight with me? Huh? That little wretch, what was his name? The Australian kid, only got a shot in the shoulder. This time, I won't miss." My heart was pounding in my ears as the barrel of a gun was pointed between my eyes." Many of you have probably experienced a lockdown drill. Few of you may have been in the real thing. Whether it be because a parent forgot to wear their visitor pass or there's some idiot running rampage with a gun. One day for Devin Andrews, instead of the fun drills where you got out of 10 minutes of class to hide under the desk and scroll through Instagram, waiting for the Principal to come over the loudspeaker telling teachers to get back to work... The real thing happens. No one is allowed in. No one is allowed out. No one is safe. We are all at his mercy. But what if his accomplice is innocent. And he risks his life to save yours. Now he's after you both. And he wants revenge. || HIGHEST RANK: #262 in Short Story || Started: 21 January 2018 Completed: 12 February 2018 *Includes mild language.
