I walked into Sammi's hospital room, a piece of paper and a pen in my hands. I looked at my best friend lying on the bed.
All her blonde, beautiful curly hair was gone and her once bright green eyes were now dull and lifeless. Her cheeks were hollow and she was deathly pale. You could see all her bones, from her lack of eating. I hated seeing her like this.
I smiled at her, and sat in front of her. "I got the paper and pen. Why'd you need this anyways?" I asked confused. She slowly sat up and took the paper and pen.
"Could you get me something to bare down on?" She asked nicely. I nodded and hoped up. I scanned the room and found a spiral notebook. I grabbed it and handed it to her. She set it on her legs and began scribbling down on the paper. I sat down in front of her, looking around the boring room. It could definitely use some colour to it.
"Here." She said, snapping ne out of my thoughts. I turned my head and saw her holding the paper out to me. I grabbed it and looked at her messy, but readable handwriting.
'My Bucket List-
1. Escape this hell hole.
2. Go on a huge shopping spree.
3. Buy tons of candy.
4. Go on a plane.
5. Play the guitar.
6. Interview someone famous.
7. Get some paint and make hand prints on mine and your walls in our bedrooms.
8. Make a smoothie filled with candy.
9. Go backstage to a concert.
10. Meet One Direction.
11. Beat this cancer.'
My eyes teared up. I wiped them away. I put the paper down and grabbed Sammi's small and frail hands. I looked at her tear filled eyes, with my own tear filled ones.
"I promise, Sammi. I promise we'll do every fucking thing on this list. I don't care what it takes." I promised, nodding at her...

Life SUCKS.
"Treasure what're you doing awake by this time". I heard my mum voice trailing behind. I shivered,I knew perfectly the rules of not being awake by this time. I would only get scolded at and maybe my phone seized. But it's not really my fault for wanting a distraction from my messy life. I just couldn't take it anymore,I was tired of thinking of my life I was tired of blaming God for the circumstances before me. Sometimes I feel like a burden and sometimes I wished I was never born. Life is cruel and learning from you mistakes doesn't count anymore. I have been told about how things would be fine by my mates. Encouraging words to keep me going, but it's simply not working. I would have committed suicide but I don't want to put my mum through that pain. She is my most favorite person in the universe. "Tress I'm talking to you. What are you doing awake?" I could feel my mum presence right behind me and dare not move. "Mum I just woke up and was just scrolling through Facebook sorry". I said after waking up from my trance. "You know the rules,no phones at night. Don't make me believe you have a boyfriend. Goodnight and put off that phone. Mum loves you. Goodnight Tress". "Goodnight Mum,sorry for breaking the rules. It won't happen again. I love you too". I smiled at her and watched her leave. I was actually texting my boyfriend.. Thank goodness he didn't call tho. That was really close, didn't want my mum to worry about me....Complete
A tender feeling called love
Slow updates " so do you understand?" He asked as he came to the end of the problem and looked at her. samriddhi was senselessly staring him and was busy in her delusional world. "what were you doing?" He asked as he realised she was clearly not listening to him. "staring you" she said but then mentally facepalmed as she realised the situation and his question. why was she so stupid. "I-i...mean.... staring the notebook" she corrected her sentence and looked at the notebook. what the hell is written here? Avinash narrowed his eyes. " you were staring the notebook but did you understand the concept" he said irritated by her lack of concentration. "I-i was staring the notebook but forgot to understand." she said and passed a sheepish smile. "sorry" she said pouting with sadness. he looked at her and suppressed a chuckle. she was looking like a fish. a cute fish. ................. "what happened?" He asked in worry as he looked at her gloomy face. " I worked so hard for the exam but half of my answers are wrong." she complained like a child. Avinash felt really bad for her. He knew how much she worked hard for these exams " Its okay. you did your best. i told you right, marks don't matter efforts matter and you worked hard for it. Next time i will give you my notes and we will work harder okay? now don't cry." he said in his softest and lightest voice and explained her like she really was a child. "vidya ke mandir mai ye kya kya dekhna par rha hai. ye dekhne se pehle mai andha kyu nhi ho gya." Yuvraaj said from a side. Avinash sighed. It was his fourth time ruining their moment. He gave a small assuring smile to Samriddhi and moved to Yuvraaj. "let me make you blind once and for all." Avinash said gritting his teeth and ran towards him. "No violence child." Yuvraaj said suppressing his laugh. All rights reserved.

"Ma'am I am always this huge. But could you stop drooling on me?" We both looked down and that wasn't drool. I accidently peed on his shoes. My face turned a faint pink. He didn't look so amused by the action though. "What the hell woman?! You just ruined my-" Lexy hurries over seeing I am in trouble. Her eyes dart to me angrily. After it seemed like hours of her staring at me she gives the buff guy a puppy eyed look. "Sir I am so sorry. My sister is just well as we can both see very drunk."

"Mom, not today. I don't even know why you're making me go. Today is dads..." I didn't want to finish and remind her of dads' birthday. My phone kept ringing, I already knew it was Dakota, he's my childhood best friend. "Just take your brother to school, please!" She exclaimed. She looked miserable.

"Have fun. Love you too, Corky." I laughed at the name I gave him when I was a kid. He smiled at me then left into the school. I went on to go to a flower shop. I stopped and got out.

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
