It’s a tricky thing‚ defining your very first date. Was it the first time someone kissed me on the lips (grade 3 at summer camp)‚ or when someone actually used the word ’date’ when asking me to go for coffee (not until I was 26)?

In turn‚ I’d love to hear yours as well‚ and how you decided it was your very first date. My first date took place when I was in Grade 8 and

This was only our second date in two weeks and thinks have been going wrong at my job‚ but her calling me towards her‚ had let that all disintegrate. I wanted to go to her‚ so I began

Most Embarrassing Moment I was in 5th grade at Quail Valley Elementary (QVE). Our class was writing reports on animals. I was a stutterer‚ and had been since I was 3 or 4 years old. I had picked "Sharks" to report on. I knew I would have to read my paper aloud to the class when I turned the paper in to my teacher‚ Ms. R. Knowing that‚ I tried to make my paper as short as possible. Ms. R was a new teacher at QVE. Our principal was disabled‚ and couldn’t walk‚ but she had no problem getting to each

THE END Scurrying of muffled feet‚ shouts of commands in the far distance‚ coughs here and there‚ and moans of pain reached the room. The boys fidgeted in discomfort in the sterile environment. Despite how many times they came‚ they still felt the discomfort. Was it discomfort from seeing all the sick bodies or was it Irene’s body that lay on the white bed‚ frozen‚ without any sign of movement? Irene’s once olive cheeks were now so pale that it would have faded into the bleached pillow if her

Bike with 2 wheels Not knowing what to do while you are panicking is one of the worst feelings in the world. Especially when you later realize that you knew that the solution was very simple and WAS common sense. For those who are lucky enough and haven’t gone through this feeling‚ well lets say that your mind is blank and you are paralyzed. I know this feeling very well; it all started when my dad and I went for a bike ride at Rood Bridge Park in Hillsboro. One beautiful sunny

When Rosie was younger she used to play in puddles. “Jump‚ Brock!” Now‚ she sat in a puddle of sand‚ surrounded by the water that crafted a false ground. “That’s dirty water‚ Rosie.” She was trapped there‚ on some sort of island‚ waiting for Union or Veridee to save her. “Oh.” She needed an escape‚ a way to truly get away‚ yet none presented themselves. It was just her. Alone and waiting for night to come and show tell her who died so she’d know who was left. I’m left. Me‚ me...and five others‚ right

As an enormous wall of gray clouds approaches‚ the anticipation grows ever so slightly with each passing moment. This warm sun-filled afternoon slowly begins its descent into a cool breezy evening as the rain commences. A few tiny droplets fall from the dark canopy above onto the carpet of green blades beneath my feet. Across the wavy pasture the verdant pine trees at the woods’ edge come alive as they sway back and forth like stalks of wheat from some lonely field in rural Nebraska. A thin layer

Nothing seemed to scare him more then the quiet before the storm. It wasn’t a familiar feeling for Keith‚ fear. Often he didn’t even spare a moment to worry about circumstances before rushing into dangerous missions head first. Usually he had Lance in his ear‚ edging him on‚ filling his head in that calm and confident manner‚ his voice filling the silence of space. Now‚ Keith was left to listen to the void‚ his nerves prickling at his skin underneath his armor. Screw the silence‚ he thinks‚ screw
