The butterflies in her stomach felt nice, but also made her want to run away and jump under her covers and never come out of her room again. She could not believe she was having these feelings about her best friend. It was the most cliche thing of all cliche things! It was the plot device of every cheesy novel....

It was not very sensible the way Mrs. Dawson expected everything to be done before she got home from work. Gracie was only thirteen and she had less than two hours before her mother's return. She did not think it fair that Reis got out of helping because he claimed he had an after school project to finish.

claim

Claiming someone can mean more than one thing. Are you claiming them because you want them to be yours or are you claiming them because you are obsessive over them? Or do you just claim their heart, even though they don't know you exist? Do you claim them in your heart or with your whole mind, body and soul?

In despite of everything, he still loved his friend. After being ignored for years, he still cared. It was like all the bad things went away when they got back together. Despite everything, they were with each other.

They were finally together again after three years. It was hard to believe that they made the mistake of splitting apart. Why would they have done something like that? Insanity? Maybe. All that really mattered was they were with each other now and the love was stronger than before.

alive

He felt so alive now that he and his friend were making up. It had been three years since Max decided to abandon him for popularity. It made Shay sad, but with this school project, they had to get along again. Thank goodness it was starting to feel like old times again.

The rain came out of nowhere. They had to quickly get to shelter, though she knew it had to be more for her, then for the troll. He did not seem to mind getting wet; he even seemed to enjoy it, as if it refreshed him. On the other hand, Lia found the rain a little annoying, though she supposed she would not have minded it under different circumstances. She wondered how long they would have to wait out this downpour.

Gog helped her up onto her horse. The troll grunted in a way that must have been his way of asking if she was comfortable. Lia felt as okay as could be expected. There were a combination of feelings running through her; she had no idea which one ruled. For now, she would just let the troll lead. She was used to following all her life. Though hopefully soon, she would be the one leading her own life.

It was profound how she could trust this person she had just met. How she could tell him her whole story and not be afraid. Lia felt comforted knowing she had someone she could confide in. Even if she would be leaving him to explore the world. She knew she could always come home and maybe she would have a home with him? He did seem to think of her as a daughter.

She could not believe she had not figured this out before. Of course it had to take her getting pregnant, then being forced to leave her home, for her to figure out how the real world really worked. Nothing she had been taught was true.
