  1. Lights, too many lights. Someone was screaming, perhaps shouting for help. I felt a weight on me. My hands felt sticky. There was pain too, excruciating. My back was on fire and I couldn’t feel my right arm. “NO!” Someone shouted. I couldn’t place the voice or person. It was difficult to focus on anything. My head was dizzy. I wanted to feel the safety of my dad’s arms and I needed my mom’s loving touch. I felt like a little kid. A little hurt kid who had lost something huge. “Mom…” I croak

    Thank you so much for reading! I'm sorry for the late reply to your review. I am glad you find the premise interesting. It might get better once Zach starts understanding what's going on. I'm sure most of you have already figured it out. But it might still be fun to find out how things go !
  3. The house was quiet. I checked my digital clock. It was glaring at me with 7 AM written boldly across it. I winced. It was time to get up. I had kept tossing and turning the entire night and got barely any sleep, save for a couple of hours in the morning. Usually if I am running late, which happens next to never, I seem almost possessed the way I do everything to get ready for school in time. I absolutely hate being late to school and I’m bitchy if things or people stall me. Maybe I’m an obsess
  4. I dropped Jeremy off and drove straight home. I needed to distract myself with something, anything. What better to do than get the school work done? I checked through my notes and realized I had a pile of assignments to get done before the school week ended. I quickly changed into more comfortable clothing and sat at the study table starting first with math. It was kind of difficult at first but once I got into it, the rest of the problems went smoothly. I kept myself totally occupied, trying t

    The sound of my crying had merged with the sound of the rain that fell consistently through the night. When I woke up, I felt surprisingly fresher than when I had gone to bed. I wanted to surprise Jeremy by picking him up for school. I drove my car to the Wilson place earlier than necessary. The excitement of seeing Jer after the realization of my true feelings was hard to contain. There was a grinding sound from the tires as the car came to a halt. I still couldn’t make myself press the brake
  6. I'm glad you noticed Mark. He's got a lot of role in this story. Thanks for reading the story, TheBiggestFan. I'll try to post the chapters soon.
  7. Thanks HutPanda! The secret will be revealed through every new chapter posted. I hope you stick along and find out. I like Jeremy a lot too btw!

    The Notice

    OMG! I guess I totally forgot about this story. I was on a long vacation and I came back to find a lot of work pending and so, no up-dates. I'm glad you liked the chapter, Lisa. There is a lot going on in this plot. I'm afraid, I'm putting it on-hold. But I'll get back to this one after I finish I'm currently writing. Thank you so much for reading. And yeah, Grease was so cool as a high school play!

    The Birthday

    Thanks, lil! I'm glad you liked the story. I agree with you, Zach and Jeremy were cute when they were younger. Well, you'll have to stick to the story to find out about the mystery! Thanks again, for the review!
  10. “Son, I want you to have a vehicle that’s heavier than that.” Dad had the weird idea that heavier cars were safer. Maybe it was true, but what’s gonna happen , happens anyway. He pointed at the sedan I was staring emptily at. Dad was very animated when he looked around at all the second-hand cars Nelly was currently showing us. I’m sure I got my passion for cars from him. Only, my mind wasn’t in it today. Not at all. Funny, considering, that for an entire year, there wasn’t a thing I thought a
  11. Trust me it’s no fun to wait around for a specific day when you want it to arrive so bad you can taste it. You know you’re helpless about it and you can’t get help from any heavenly powers to make the clock tick faster. All you can do, is wait! But here it was and I wasn’t wasting a single minute of it. I’d wanted a set of wheels right since…well, I’d seen a car. And guess what? I was getting one today! Yipee! The blinds pulled up, I let the fresh morning air and sunshine consume me. It was nic
  12. Zach is strong, popular and perfect. He's got a loving family and everyone wants to be friends with him. All he wants is Jeremy. He doesn't know what Jeremy wants. There's also a secret everybody is keeping from him. Then there's Mark, Jeremy's older brother. What does he know? Why does he keep staring at him? Will Zach find out the truths eventually or will he be... lost?

    The Notice

    Although I was eager to learn what was laid out on our plate for drama this year, I had lost my appetite and excitement for that as well. I just wanted to go home and take some rest and keep my mind off of what took place during the school day. It wasn’t unusual for me to feel like running home and hiding into the confines of my room. I wasn’t a particularly shy kid. I was more like…different. It took some efforts on my part to blend in, something that came so naturally to everyone else. Bes
  14. Thanks for the review Dannsar..I appreciate your review but I'm not sure I can do what you want..I guess the story is already planned out...as for how smartly I put the plot across, you'll have to find out I'm not sure about the 'esoteric' words though...I read my chapter again and didn't find one word which was more 'colorful' than it needed to be..quite the opposite in fact.. but I'll keep the flow in mind.. thanks again!
  15. I love the character Travis although his presence was coldly stated. What he meant to Charlie and why he was in the chapter are matters seeming a bit ambiguous. More so because Charlie said something like he's 'my'.... Derek? well...he's just a naive boy lost in the jerk-world. His conversation with Travis was a bit appalling because he was always shown to be self-centered but never a jerk. I like his character. He thinks everything that's supposed to be cool is cool. He's not a stupid jock (maybe just a tiny bit) but kind of like the all-smart guy which is so not cool. But he doesn't know that. Charlie's character kind of disappoints me (**sheepish**). He is idk, a tad bit goody-goody requiring more depth. I like the story a lot. A lot!!! It's the only one I wait for. (hehe) Scrawny!
  16. The chapter was really sweet. I felt so much for the poor kid. You have a way of putting forth emotions in a subtle way. I like the way Charlie and Derek interact. It's certainly different from the intimidating jock and the awkward nerd(not the best place to give opinions, but well... ) This story is far from being cliche although it brushes all those doors without knocking. You know what I mean. Waiting for Charlie's new 'avatar' for the date. Want more and SOON!
  17. There was a guy named Scrawny Who wished for the day he'd be brawny With a stomach flat and compressed And an attractive muscular chest His efforts were a super waste but the image left him HORNY!! This was my first ever attempt at anything that rhymes..I promise I'll do better Marky!! The limericks is a fun business
  18. 1) Making weird music while jamming with friends. 2) Surfing random videos on youtube with random languages and random people(some include random looking animals too). 3) Reading politics? that always puts a smile on my face. P.S. read makes me laugh out loud :|
  19. If I and my ex were very serious and the split was a bad one, it would sadden me to see him with someone else. But if it was only casual dating and just experimentation at a relationship and it didn't work, I wouldn't mind my friends dating him. I wouldn't go as far as punching the guts of my friends or doing such similar harmful stuff even if I didn't approve a particular relationship, but you never know how other people perceive things and so I would try to remain as far as possible from their exes. I'm a very non-violent person by nature so I'd rather stick to my aloofness, but true attraction can take you to unexpected places. It could happen that you find 'the one' in one of your friends exes.

    Story

    'there are soooo many things that are wrong with it' I kind of loved you for that statement. Your insight on my writing makes me wonder if I put so much thought into it myself. I have written this story only to gauge the feel of the form. It was finished in an hour. I wasn't expecting a review. I put random ideas together and something like a story was created. But you took time to review it!! Thank you so much, Dannsar. You gotta be a beta reader or an editor!! You have great inputs to give. =)
  21. I have to agree with everyone around here... There are so many different perspectives on the matter..that only shows that there could be perspectives about every thing...you can't put story-telling into categories of right or wrong.. As for me, when I first got involved into reading stories, which could be three years back, I was so interested in the typical ones which were all about first sight loves and the overwhelming encounters of young boys. It was kind of a fantasy world with their perfect bodies and the unblemished looks.. I couldn't get enough of them.. now I no longer look for those kind of stories. But that doesn't mean that a certain audience wouldn't want to. Like there is sci-fi, fantasy, horror, etc,; there's a genre called romantic. Young writers could start off writing like that, but after they get a perspective on narrating stories, they'll learn and improve.
  22. Yep!! I'll try to post as soon as possible!! Thank you so much!! =)
  23. Thank YOU so much for the review!! =) I so desperately want to post and I've written quite a lot...But I'm such a novice at this...I don't know how it'll work..=D fingers crossed though!! And you may hug Chance all you want!! he needs it anyway!
  24. It is coming soon!! But do not mind the 'cliche'...I'm kind of like that!! =P

    Story

    BIRDS BEING BIRDS - SDK Walking down the lane on a morning under a clear blue sky but with a slight chill in the air is indescribable. You don’t have to hide behind layers of clothes and you actually feel like coming out of your house to greet others. You see people walking their dogs and joggers jogging in nothing but shorts and tank-tops. It really is a good weather. Your neighborhood is kind of uninterestin
