Lightning crackled, lighting up the small living room. A girl snuggled deeper into the plush, red armchair. Another bout of thunder struck, shaking the Earth to it’s very core. She shivered, she had hated thunderstorms since she was small.

There she stood, hoisting the trophy above her head with her short, freckly arms. I resent her. Her and her stupid father. Buying their way to victory. I imagine myself standing on the podium, people cheering for me, the glory. The triumph.

I bowed low, facing the petite girl in the green dress. She stood out among all others in the courtyard. Whether it was her fiery red hair, her vivid green dress or her deep chocolate brown eyes, I didn’t know, but I felt drawn to her.

Smarty wrote about the word plague 1 year, 10 months ago
It was like a plague. Spreading thorough the halls, soon everyone knew. Everyone knew the excruciatingly terrifying details, everyone knew who was involved, and why he had needed to die. But he didn’t. And since he didn’t die that night, like everyone was planning on, the world turned into a black plague of horror.

Smarty wrote about the word straw 1 year, 10 months ago
It was the last straw. The turning point. She couldn’t handle it anymore. She just needed to let it all out in one horrible, blood curdling scream. It was heard miles and miles away, and nobody cam close to her for hours on end. They hadn’t seen the last straw fall out of place, only [...]

Smarty wrote about the word mean 1 year, 10 months ago
She was just so mean. There was no other word to describe it. The way she boosted herself up by wearing revealing clothes and slathering on make-up, putting down others to make herself feel better. All the adults thought she was a sweetheart. They don’t see how she acts around her classmates, or her friends. [...]

Smarty wrote about the word chores 1 year, 10 months ago
Chores. What an awful word, she thought to herself. She was being forced to dust and sweep while her sisters went out and laughed at her behind her back. Because she was the ugly stepsister to them, quite backwards to the majority of population, but that’s how they pictured her.

Smarty wrote about the word cast 1 year, 10 months ago
The dark, hooded figure cast a dark shadow. Every time I shifted my weight in attempt to get a look at his face, he shuffled behind a wall. I couldn’t be certain he was a he, but most dark hooded figures lurking in the dark were male. At least that’s what I assumed, I didn’t [...]

Smarty wrote about the word assisted 1 year, 10 months ago
I assisted her onto the flat platform at the top of the rocks. She looked around, taking in the scenery. Far below, a river was cutting through the forest of evergreens. Further down the river cut off into a waterfall of tumbling, white water. The sun shone down on the valley, and us looking over [...]

Her perfect, auburn, braid sat against the back of her white button down. That was all I could see from here. But it still put me in a trance. Because every time I saw any part of her, I swooned. How can a girl do this to me? Am I going insane? I knew I [...]

Smarty wrote about the word honest 1 year, 10 months ago
I couldn’t help but be honest with him. The truth just flooded out of me. It was embarrassing, to explain exactly how I felt about him, but his smile kept me going. And I felt like I was in a cheesy, amateur novel, but sometimes cheesy moments can be described as ‘cute.’ At least when [...]

I’m staring again. He looks back at me from afar and our eyes lock. I blush and look down. I didn’t think he would see me portraying my obsession. My friends giggle and playfully shove me, pointing to him gazing at me. I bite my lip and then smile back at him, he waves and [...]

The antlers were protruding from the shrubbery. A second passed, a second of silence, which was soon replaced by the rustling of branches, the snapping of twigs and the crunching of leaves. A golden stag rose above the bush, prancing faster and faster through the dimly lit forest.

Smarty wrote about the word predict 1 year, 11 months ago
She gazed out the window. Rain was pouring hard down against it. While looking through the blurry glass she could predict what would happen in the next few minutes. The only uncertain event was after, no matter the outcome of this meeting, she had no idea what came next. And those predictions scared her.

I believe in myself. I believe that what I attempt, I can achieve. I believe that nobody is unable, and that everyone should be given a chance. I believe in myself.

Smarty wrote about the word wonder 1 year, 11 months ago
I wondered. I could drift off into space contemplating the boundaries of the universe, but why? When things so close to us can be so wonderful as well. Is fantasy necessary when the most beautiful things could be right in front of us? I wonder.

Smarty wrote about the word smile 1 year, 11 months ago
He was smiling at me from afar. He always did this, but only from afar. I couldn’t help but smile back, and we would stare at each other from opposite ends of the room. But whenever I tried to talk to him he would walk away, close himself and that beautiful smile off. It was [...]
