    Keisha Alston lived in a much nicer house in a way nicer neighborhood within walking distance. There was thunder rumbling in the distance as Tristan left his house. By the time he arrived on Keisha’s doorstep, he was soaked to the bone. "Oh Sweetie, I could've picked you up," she said as she closed and locked the front door. Tristan kicked off his wet Converse sneakers and placed them next to the other pairs of shoes in the tiled entryway. "I figured I could make it here befo

    "Dinner's on me." The two of them followed a sour-faced young woman with curly dark hair to a small booth in the back. Benvolio's was a popular Italian restaurant not to far from their school. Tristan had driven past the place more times than he could count but he had eaten there. "You know what's not necessary." Tristan slid in across from Jon-Jon and accepted the menu the hostess held out for him. "Your server will be right with you," she told them both before stalking off towards

    "We have a problem." Tristan had been pouring a liberal amount of bleu cheese over his homemade wedge salad when he heard the heavy footsteps approaching the top section of the bleachers where he and Keisha were sitting. Keisha was too busy trying to complete the French assignment she’d neglected the night before to notice someone had crashed their intimate party of two. Jon-Jon looked sweaty and exhausted as he finally reached the row they were sitting on. An expensive-looking periwinkl

    Finnishia - that is so hilarious to me! PS: Hope no one from Nebraska is offended. I'm glad you thought the switching from 1st to 3rd person was seamless. That makes me so happy because I was so worried about how this would affect how the story reads. You are right. At 17/18 years old, something like this would have sent me into a deep, dark depression. Not sure if I would've been able to handle it. Thank you so much for reading! BLW

    No truer words have ever been spoken. And to answer your question, not very long. BLW

    "You're home late." Tristan had noticed his dad's rusty pickup truck parked in the driveway when Keisha dropped him at home moments earlier but hearing his voice coming from the living room still made him jump. He placed his keys and wallet on the small table in the glass bowl on the table through he front door and strode into the next room like a death row inmate. He plopped down on the ancient plaid sofa opposite his dad. The television was on and tuned to one of his dad's favorite sh

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I need to give Sex Education a second chance. I sort of OD-ed on teenage sex comedies after the whole American Pie series of films.

    Are you saying a bunch of teenagers who accidentally killed their classmate and are trying to cover it up are making questionable decisions? Imagine that! 😝

    I press my forehead against the window. The blur of red and white against the pitch black is strangely calming as we speed down the interstate towards a part of town I don't often frequent. The silence that fills the space between us is neither comfortable nor completely unwelcome. I'm chewing my thumbnail which usually drives Keisha crazy but she's too busy white-knuckling the steeling wheel to notice. The glass is cool against my skin. I want to stick my head out the window and inhale the

    "Fuck. This. Year." "Tristan, sweetie, it's way too early for fuck," Keisha says as we walk towards the front entrance of the school. It's Monday morning and this is what you've missed. Finn Montgomery and Leah Platt are Shenandoah High's new it-couple. Yes, you read that correctly. Finn and Leah are officially dating. Leah's even changed her relationship status again, this time to in a relationship with Finn Montgomery. This is a nightmare. Yeah, move over Pennywise the Clown. Finn

    Hi @Etotsira - I hope to have it posted no later than Saturday. This is the first time I've finished a chapter and gone directly into writing a new one. So happy you are enjoying! BLW PS - Puppy dog eyes are so my weakness!!

    My second lie to Finn happens on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It’s the day following homecoming and I’m on my ninth episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. I’m lying across my bed with a half-eaten bag of spicy pork rinds sitting next to me when I receive a text from him. What time should I pick you up, he asks. Pick me up? I crawl towards the top of my bed so I can lean up against my headboard. Did you forget? I tell him, yes. Leah’s birthday dinner is tonig

    “Where’s your green and gold?” Keisha pulls into my driveway at a quarter to seven. Tonight’s the big homecoming game which I’d totally forgotten about until Finn reminded me this morning when he picked me up for school. Frankly the last place I want to be tonight is back at school watching a bunch of mildly-hot meatheads smash into each other over and over for a few hours. “Believe it or not I own not one piece of green or gold apparel.” Keisha waits for me to fasten my seatbelt be

    Thank you, as always, for you feedback. And yes, I am a Pisces. 2-24 is my birthday. For better or for worst, I embody all the Pisces traits. BLW

    "I'm starving. Wanna grab something to eat?" Even while sweaty and gross, Finn Montgomery is still hot. He's wearing the Shenandoah High P.E. t-shirt every freshman's required to buy and I want to reach out and trace every vein and every muscle. He runs fingers through his damp hair and I catch a whiff of body odor and whatever's left of his cologne. I want to drag him to the prop closet and do things I've only read about in the $2.99 gay erotic books on my Kindle. I catch Andy out of th

    “So, basically what you’re saying is that you’re abandoning me.” Keisha rolls her eyes and holds her finger like an inch away from my face. “Don’t even. Don’t act like you haven’t been ignoring me these last couple of days while you and Finn have been off galivanting around doing God knows what – not that I have a problem with that. I’m actually really happy for you. About time one of us gets some.” I look around the crowded upstairs hallway to see if anyone’s listening in on our con

    Sometimes in life we choose what's easy over what's right.

    KayDeeMac - I'm so happy you are enjoying the story. I'm glad you like the characters. It helps me, as the writer, to know what my characters look like. Like what kind of face would Keisha make if she was upset or would Nick say something a particular way. As always, thank you for reading! I really appreciate your feedback!! BLW

    Now that I think about it, in Chapter 13 I did mention Colin was from UCLA but I never mentioned if he was a student or professor.

    When Monday rolls around, I'm out of bed and showered before my alarm goes off. Dad looks surprised to see me when I walk into the kitchen before seven. I pour orange juice into a glass and join him at the kitchen table. “You’re in a good mood,” he remarks as he watches me from over the top of his glasses. I shrug and take a swig of juice. The weekend may have started off a complete and total disaster but things have definitely taken an upswing. Keisha now knows all the details surroun

    I'm enjoying writing these characters so much. It feels like I know them so well my body goes on autopilot when I'm writing. Finn is the most fun to write because he is the most complicated character. You pretty much know what you're going to get with the other characters. Or do you??

    "So, how long is he going to sleep?" I'm waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. Dad's at the kitchen table. He's in his Saturday morning clothes which consists of a bathrobe, his favorite pair of Daffy Duck pajamas pants and his reading glasses. Our local newspaper is open in front of him. Andy’s still passed out. As expected, Dad was up waiting for us when the three of us got home. I'm kind of surprised how chill he's being about the drunk kid in our den. "I can go wake him up,"

    One thing I always loved about pop culture centered around high school and teens is how unrealistic it is. The teens are usually played by 20-something or eve 30-something actors and the situations are unlike anything most of us have ever gone through ... I'm talking to you 13 Reasons Why. I wanted something a bit more realistic but fun. For the most part, my high school experience was pretty awesome but there were things me and my friends had to deal with that were hard, i.e. peer pressure, death of a parent, drugs and alcohol, etc. I want the characters in this story to refect that.
