Distracted Stories

A short fictional story about kids in this generation and phone usage

Alexis Emerson was always shy, she lost her mother and future sibling at the age of six. Her confidence had gone down severely since that day. She grew up with no one but her dad at her side, and he, himself, is struggling to stay alive and happy. Alexis, after nine years of feeling lonely, her dad passes away from cancer. Lexi feels nervous when she realizes that she now has to move away and live with her mom. She doesn't know what to do or how to feel. She's feeling anxiety from having to leave the one home she's lived in for fifteen years- her whole life. But the biggest reason she's afraid is because she has not seen her mom in so long. When her and her mom finally meet, not much bonding happens. Alexis, feeling betrayed by her mom, ignores her as much as she could. School is all she has now. Lexi decides to turn her life all around. She doesn't want to be the shy, unpopular type anymore. She joins cheer, makes friends and even finds herself crushing on the football quarterback, Austin Parks. Soon enough though, the new guy, Evan comes to town. He seems to be the type who keeps all to himself, never talks to anyone, shuts everyone out. Lexi remembers how her mom was like that before she left. She wants to help Evan, or at least get him to open up, risking her newfound popularity. Will she and her mom come together as family again? Will Austin finally fall for her? Will it be Evan?

Writers block. Do you have those a lot? When suddenly you forget what you were writing and your words and ideas vanish? What do you do to get rid of them? Do you wait? Do you sleep? Think? Me? I write. Short stories, to be exact. Welcome to the world of Distracted. - - - DEDICATED TO @TRLPixel DEDICATED TO @randomest_of_writers - - -

My thoughts when I get writers block and how many times I have tried to create the perfect story knowing that isn't possible.

At 55 mph, talking on a cell phone, sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for about five seconds, long enough to cover a football field.

A girl goes to a library with the intent of writing a story, but finds herself distracted. *** This is a very short story I wrote for a class. Enjoy!

As fun as letting yourself get sidetracked is, Blythe has a job to do. Just...not the way she's doing it, probably. Have a thing. I might continue it later, I might not.

......people have said that I most likely have ADHD....and when I think about it, they might be right. But anyways let's take a peek into mah mess of a brain!!

Migi means right in Jap, (yeah i'm such a weaboo) since Migi is a character from Parasyte.. Anyway, my trusty working hand is my right hand and this is when I draw, hence it moves. Please don't expect much of my 'Migi-chan' since I am mostly lazy and not that great to begin with.. Oh yeah, updates are super slow... sorry in advance.

This is a poem, maybe triggering for some so proceed with caution.

Each chapter features a new flash fiction story or poem. Distracted- I stopped at his destination and watched him talk to the person before him. The more I stared at him, the drier my throat became. I couldn't make out what they were saying; all I knew was that the buzzing in my ear told me I needed to touch him.

Your skin will have goose bumps. Your breath shorten. You won't want to stop reading this book no matter how much it makes your heart race. These short stories are like nothing you read before, some would keep you on your toes while others won't let you sleep at night.Are you brave enough to enter or are you afraid you will loose your mind in the process? I hope you enjoy it and vote, comment, or fan me.

I'm not spoiling it

Things I thought were true but are not.
