The Beach Episode (Because Apparently That’s Required)
irivera commented on Jeff Burton's story chapter in The Beach Episode (Because Apparently That’s Required)
Read this at 7 am today and again just now to make sure I got it all the first time. This is great😂 -
I tighten my tie and then turn to Blair, who is making sure her lipstick is perfect. “Does this look okay?” she asks, pursing her lips in the mirror. “Couldn’t have done it better myself,” I say. “What about me?” She faces me and smooths down my sleeves a bit, adjusting my tie to make it a little less crooked, and smiles. “There we go.” She adjusts her blazer and pushes her hair over her shoulder. “I can’t believe Mom and Dad were on board with this whole uniform thing.” “Y

THERE’S a weird, heavy silence between Draven and me as I tread behind him. I trip on my own feet and stumble a little, but thankfully, he doesn’t see it. This guy decided to start talking to me ten minutes ago, and already I’m a tumbling mess. “Here we are, get on,” he says. I look left, look right, and back at him. “Uh, get o—what am I getting on?” I ask. Because surely it can’t be what it propped up next to him. “That?” He nods. “Yeah, that.” He’s next to a sleek motorcycl

“TILT your head up just a little more, please, Sir, and then look just a little more left. Perfect. There we go.” The camera guy snaps the photo. The flash is white hot. “Wait, I think you blinked.” “Fuck,” I mutter. I’m sweating like a whore in church. My senior orientation decided to land on the hottest day of the year. A record ninety-eight degrees, and I’m here wearing the newly issued school uniform. After a unanimous decision by the school board, we’ve become a full-fledged uniform sc

Calvin Kildare is lonely and lost. It seems that everyone around him is in love and has a direction for their life. With senior year starting, he’s never felt so out of place. When the guy he’s had a small crush on starts paying him attention, he can’t help but think he’ll be the one for him. However, things are never that easy, and Calvin finds himself having to navigate situations that are bound to test his limits.

The courtroom scene/chapter was one of my favorites to write. It was in my head the moment I thought of the story so writing it was a thrill for myself!

Colorado may or may not be a little Easter egg for something in the future 🤷🏽♂️

Four months later IT was December seventeenth, twenty-twenty two. That was the day my parents died. The night that changed everything. Today is December seventeenth, twenty-twenty-three. One year later. It’s winter break from school. Senior year started with simplicity. I know what you’re thinking, what you’re asking. What happened to Victor? Well, let’s back it up a bit. I didn’t leave North Carolina for good until the day after my hearing. We all celebrated at this local

I barely slept. My eyes burn when I flip on the bathroom light. Cold water on my face sends a shock down my spine. I was tossing and turning all night, thinking about every possible scenario of today. There aren’t that many outcomes to begin with, but I kept pondering the worst ones. The one that keeps me here in North Carolina. And if that happens, what if they move me from Karen’s? I splash more water on my face and rub my eyes until they hurt. “Good mornin’, Sweetie,” Karen says as I en

“COFFEE?” Karen slides a cup towards me at the kitchen table. “Thought you’d never ask,” I say, taking the cup. It’s hot to the touch. “You’ve got a long day ahead of you,” she says, “a little caffeine won’t hurt.” Long day for sure. It’s Monday, and my review hearing is on Wednesday. For the past month, I’ve been meeting Carla weekly and trying to prepare. But today is a little different. I’ve met my court counselor and attorney for the criminal charges I picked up for beating V

IT’S warm. The air is still. Sun scorches my skin. A few birds dip and fly around each other. My head hurts. My neck is still a little sore, and my hands are bruised all over. Every movement causes me to wince. On the bright side, I’ve stopped crying. There’s no more tears left in my body. “Jonah.” I turn my head. It’s the nurse. Erica. “Hey,” I mutter. “You okay?” she asks. She’s halfway out the door, shielding her eyes from the sun. “I said your name like, four times.”

WILL’S head is on my lap. I run my fingers through his hair. Every day since the party, it has been like walking on eggshells. Everything could collapse at once. Each moment has to be savored. All day is an anxious waiting game to see what happens to me. To us. He shifts, looks up at me. “I’m sorry,” he whispers. I frown. “What?” “I’m sorry,” he repeats. “Will, every day since then, you’ve said you’re sorry, and every single time I tell you it’s okay. It’s not your fault. I’
