  1. I want to speak French My obsession comes from a long time ago Ever since I was little I've always wanted to know How to speak the language How to read and write I spent days bugging my friends I spent hours dreaming at night So I downloaded an app To help me learn But it turns out I'm no good at that I want to speak French So I can fly to the land Of artistry and love Because I know I can speak like the people Even learn their slang Will it ever
  2. Can you hear that sound? The sound of quietness The sound that nobody hears Even if most of us have a pair of ears It's a sound that's so profound So rare that it makes you spellbound I can hear it it's so loud It tends to happen when no one's around Never has such quietness caused someone to frown Even the loud- mouths like it when the sound goes down However I do hate one particular sound That sound in the dark is by far the worst Your brain tells you t
  3. I absolutely hate short things I do however like the idea of growing a pair of wings
  4. I hate it when My pets die Mothers cry and lovers lie When people quit school Because it's considered un-cool When boys think it's okay to fight And girls think being a size 0 is alright I hate it when parents pressure their kids to follow their own lost dreams Even if that child has a broken spirit Financial success is still more important it seems I hate it when people look at me and say: I would never live my life that way But let me tell you this I lov
  5. My Heart lies in Monterey If you didn't know by the way In coffee shops Somewhere he walks by the bay My Heart lies in Monterey By the beaches, by the snow I don't really know much about the weather But I bet the sunniest smile Is his, and his is mine Is that such a crime? My Heart lies in Monterey Which is crazy because I'm in Africa Amongst the poverty and the crime But he gives his time And every time He spends what could be his last dime To see me e
  6. A hopefully growing collection of my own poetry
  7. After hitch-hiking I was able to get home by afternoon, still clutching Connor's letter. I totally ignored my dad when he asked me why I looked so miserable. Thankfully he didn't bother me. I fell to my bed in sheer exhaustion. My main priority was finding Connor before it's too late but it was complicated. Do I tell his parents? what about mine? And what will happen to Josh? That's when I remembered that I never really finished the letter. "...I feel really horrible for doing this but I just
  8. "Wake up sunshine." Were the first words I heard. It was Josh and he was sitting in front of me. Our surroundings looked unfamiliar and Josh must have noticed me looking around. "We're in the den. This is where I used to spend my weekends watching movies until I found you" he said and I felt a smile coming from my face. "What time is it?" I asked as the reality of our situation sank in. I slowly started to remember what happened to Connor. Josh snapped me out of my thoughts when he answered me
  9. To tell u the truth, I had lost some hope but when i see people really interested in this little story then it gives me hope! for u I will write more!
  10. The sound of my alarm clock woke me. Having only slept for two hours, I felt anger and this caused me to lash out at the poor burger alarm, pushing it from my bedside table. I had spent the entire night trying to communicate with Connor. I did not succeed. I managed to drag myself out of bed and get ready for school. My parents had already left for work and I wasn't even hungry. As I walked out of the front door I realised exactly how baffled everything was. Late. I arrived five minutes before
  11. sorry bob I don't know how this happened. any idea how I can delete this? I'll have a need chapter up in a few days okay?
  12. The next morning I felt guilty waking up next to Josh. I had snuck in during the night but he hadn't been particularly inviting, so I initiated a spoon session but all it was was me staring at the back of his head while he was sleeping. I quietly got out of his tent and just as I thought I was in the clear, my dad was sitting in the middle of camp next to the fire pit with his mug in his hand and a disappointed face. I sighed knowing what's coming next. "I know what you are thinking dad but no
  13. thank u so much. I try my best
  14. In order for you to fully understand the events of this weekend, I feel that I had to jump in, you know? There are certain events that took place while Toby wasn't around and you definitely want to know about it. So there I was, minding my own business, It was the Saturday morning after that fun bond-fire night I had with Toby and Josh. My gentleman parts were freezing and it was cold! I have a hotdog clock, the counterpart to Toby's burger clock, and it was telling me it's 6AM. Why am I he
  15. Secrets are the poisons of life. A deadly secret can can be harmful when it's amongst friends and family, a small opportunity of salvation arises and you can rise from the ashes if you play your cards right but in a relationship, it's much more difficult... it can be fatal. I've been watching too much Revenge I thought to myself as I wrote out the random passage onto a piece of old paper. My God, I haven't written anything personal on a piece of paper in such a long time. My thoughts got inte
  16. White walls. Those were the first things my eyes caught site of when they opened. A blond boy sat in front of me. I knew it was Connor. "Oh thank God! You're waking up!" he exclaimed quietly. "Why are you whispering?" I asked puzzled and Connor replied "Well besides being in a hospital... I don't want your family and Josh to know you are awake" He scared me but I managed to question him "Why? And Josh is here?" I asked but Connor didn't listen "Please I need to tell you something. I called y

    Long overdue! Amazing! The reason I joined this site! I can't believe u wrote again! I'm crying!!!
  18. "Wait. Explain to me how this happened?" Josh said as he sat next to me the day after my brawl at school. I couldn't answer him. "How did someone you met online come to a party and kiss you?" Josh sounded more afraid than angry. "I have no idea. He doesn't even know what I look like" I said hoping Josh would believe me. "I think he knows you... Listen I know I can't tell you what to do but I think it's best you don't talk to anybody from that website" Josh said a bit agitated "So you aren't
  19. "Toby honey wake up!" I rolled over in my bed as I heard my mother calling me to start the day. It's the first day of school since the December holidays and I was not looking forward to it. "Morning mom" I mumbled when I finished my shower and went down to have breakfast. My mother stood next to me as I ate. "Did you do all your assignments in the holidays?" she asked "Yes Mom" I said "Are you well rested?" she asked "I am" I said "How's Josh?" she asked "Perfectly fine Ma" I said "I
  20. It's the 31st of December and I'm laying on my bed still daydreaming about what happened with Josh a few nights ago. I also thought how in a week's time I'll be back at school and how I would have to carefully handle things. Then it hit me. I haven't spoken to barricadeboy in a long time. He must have moved on from our brief friendship but I had to make sure. As I went online the notifications were too much to read so I deleted every one except those from BarricadeBoy. BarricadeBoy: Merry Chr
  21. Aww I'm glad u liked and yeah I made myself cry too...
  22. Returning home from the cemetery I could see a change in my dad. I think he has forgiven himself for what happened with Tim. As we pulled into the driveway I looked back to Josh who was now laying on his side asleep. Poor guy, he really helped a lot today at the grave even though he didn't know what happened and he didn't even ask. I softly stroke his cheek and his eyes fluttered open and he saw me too. We went inside and I glanced in to the kitchen where my friend Connor was eating cereal
  23. I woke up to the sound of my door opening and I saw a muscular figure walking towards me. "Sorry I had to pee... couldn't find the toilet" said the figure. I rubbed my eyes like a little baby and I could now clearly see Josh standing in front of me. "What's the time?" I asked quietly. "Four" said Josh with an uncomfortable look on his face as he came to lay down next to me again. "How did you sleep" I asked. Josh shook his head "No" He looked over at me "Connor was shivering like crazy so I
  24. I woke up to the sound of my burger alarm going off. Immediately I slapped it from my bedside table, unfortunately in a few seconds another alarm will go off that I can't slap. Just watch in 5...4...3...2...1... "Toooooooooby get up we have to set everything up for tonight honey" She didn't even wish me Merry Christmas! I made my way down the stairs in my pjs with two wrapped boxes in each of my hands. Mum and dad were having breakfasts at they kitchen counter because the table was filled with
