I was finally at peace. The first day of summer. No worries. Serenity.
I put my earbuds in, hit shuffle on my ipod, and plopped down on my bed. My mother and father were out, Kenzie still had school until next week, but me, I was in a state of tranquility. No assignments due, no drama. Eleventh Grade was finally over. I grabbed my favorite book from the shelf, The Great Gatsby and got lost in the marvelous ocean of perfectly put together sentences.
ELLA, OPEN UP!! yelled a voice. Loud thumps sounded on the front door.
My bubble of equanimity burst.
Sophia, You're gonna break the door, I'm coming. I yelled.
There stood in front of me was my best friend, Sofia. Plastered on her face was the biggest smile I had ever seen. Her eyes were bright with joy.
You aren't going to believe this! she whispered.
What? I asked.
;I..I won US Vip tickets to see SHAWN MENDES., she screamed, her hands shaking at her thighs.
I smiled. Soph was a huge fan of this Mendes guy and I couldn't help but be happy for her. Her smile was contagious. I wrapped my arms around her. I could feel her nerves on fire.
I stepped back, taking it all in. Her blue eyes were glossed with tears. Her exuberant energy could be felt from miles away.

Aarna never thought two pink lines could shake her world.
She stood frozen, staring at the test in her trembling hands. Pregnant. A word she had longed to hear, yet feared the most.
Would he accept it? Or would he push her away again, just like before?
The door creaked open. Her heart pounded.
Sharad's sharp gaze met hers. "What are you hiding?"
Her breath hitched. She wasn't ready for this. Not yet.
