All of the students were at Bar Name, all except Katy, she was sitting on the sidewalk outside of her apartment crying in the rain. After all how could she enjoy her night when Eric was not with her? It would not be possible for Katy to have any fun without the man she loved by her side, but he didn’t care. He has Carly now, Katy no longer meant to him what he meant to her and she was not able to control it. How could he have moved on so quickly? He must have never loved me, he must have been using me for sex, he must not have thought about our future like he said he did, if he truly wanted a future with me he would be here, he would not have left, …show more content…
Are you okay?” “Jessy? What are you doing out here” Katy asked her best friend. Katy and Jessy have known each other their entire lives. Their moms were best friends in high school and the pair have continued that friendship. The two did not plan on going to University Name together, but when Jessy’s university plans fell through he decided to follow his friend to her dream school. Many of their friends thought that they would end up together, but it never seemed as though it was in the cards for these two, they have only kissed once and they have never spoke of it again, even though they have both wanted to since it happened in their final year of high school. “Did you really think I was going to let you stay home alone on your first weekend alone since the break up? If I know you at all, which I do, I knew you would be sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and not realising what an amazing opportunity you now have” Jessy replied to his friend as he sat next to her on the wet concrete. “This is the first time while at Uni Name that you are single, you and Eric started dating the first month of freshman year, this is a golden opportunity for you” he …show more content…
This is your last chance to be able to do this and I for one am not going to let you waste this chance” Jessy said while standing up and reaching his hand out to Katy.

We were together for three years and he was able to get over me so quickly” she said while sobbing. “I know, this isn’t going to happen overnight, but tonight is the perfect opportunity to get some inspiration for the upcoming year” Jessy smiled while looking at his friend “What do you mean?” Katy
O’Connor himself wasn’t partially physically intimidating. This fact became abundantly clear once he stepped off his chair and approached me. While not necessarily short in stature, his seat gave him an extra few inches compared to his natural stance.
The window was cold to the touch. The glass shimmered as the specks of sunlight danced, and Blake stood, peering out. As God put his head to the window, at once, he felt light shining through his soul. Six years old. Age ceased to define him and time ceased to exist. Silence seeped into every crevice of the room, and slowly, as the awe of the vision engulfed him, he felt the gates slowly open. His thoughts grew fluid, unrestrained, and almost chaotic. An untouched imagination had been liberated, and soon, the world around him transformed into one of magnificence and wonder. His childish naivety cloaked the flaws and turbulence of London, and the imagination became, to Blake, the body of God. The darkness lingering in the corners of London slowly became light. Years passed by, slowly fading into wisps of the past, and the blanket of innocence deteriorated as reality blurred the clarity of childhood.
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton, the protagonist of the story, is into girls with the name “Katherine.” And when it comes to dating a Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Ironically, the day that Colin graduated high school, Katherine XIX had dumped him. Colin was beyond upset. Katherine XIX was the only Katherine he had truly ever loved out of the other eighteen he had dated in the past. Just as any other dumpee, (the person being dumped), Colin spends his days locked in his room, doing nothing, but think of Katherine XIX. One day, Colin’s best friend, Hassan, comes over to visit him since he last saw Colin on graduation day. He sees that Colin is depressed and Hassan does not like the idea that his best friend thinks his life is over just because of a break-up. While trying to cheer Colin up, Hassan says that there is one simple solution to solve his sorrow. But before Hassan could say anything, Colin interjected “What about a road trip?” Hassan found it to be a great idea, but his parents were not liking the idea. His parents had tried to talk him out of him by saying that if he wanted to become smarter, he needed to stay home. Colin still didn’t budge and before he knew, he was already packing his stuff and heading to Hassan’s car. Hassan too, needed to inform his parents about the road trip. Hassan was afraid that if he tried to persuade his parents to let him go, they would still not allow. Colin insisted that he just lie to them and say that he was g...
We were now at the bus stop. The sun had replenished and the sky full of glee. There was trail next to the bus stop, she started walking through it. The trees intertwined like arches and the shadows created an ominous feeling. As she walked through the forest, her whole body had a calm aura.

As Manley Pointer slammed the barn door shut behind him, the ladder to the loft collapsed to the floor. Hulga did all she could—scream. Minutes passed. Hours dragged on as Hulga continued crying for help. Deeming her efforts futile, Hulga wept. As the sun set beyond the horizon, Hulga’s eyes dried up. With no glasses and no rays of sun seeping in through the cracks in the roof, Hulga felt around blindly, gathering a small bundle of hay upon which to lay her head.
It was a dark, rainy night. Anna was driving alone on the wet streets of Portland, Oregon to her parents’ house. Her windshield wipers were waving like crazy, and her headlights were not shining bright. When then she knew that all safety was lost, in this closed off forest, in my small car. The radio was screaming fun jazz music to lighten the mood. Though Anna was tired and weak wishing for the drive to be over. Little did she know her life was about to change, for the better and worse.
True Son stared at the place where his Indian father, Cuyloga, was standing only minutes ago. His words, still echoing in his head, “I am no longer your father, nor you my son.” True Son stood alone in the forest, the sounds of the river flowing beside him being his only accompaniment. All he could think about was how much he would like to trade today for yesterday, when he was still an Indian, running free. Now, he was in white civilization, where people barricaded themselves inside their homes, and were far from being free.
Everyone at school thought “she [is] pretty broken up [...] it is about the boy” (Green 197). Lindsey is strong and stands up for herself in front of him and tells him off, and after “she turns around and walks away” like she owned the place and the breakup did not affect her one bit. (177). Lindsey expects to have the normal breakup disappointment afterwards like another girl but “in the end [Lindsey] just did not care” (199). Lindsey believes that her relationship was not an important part of her life because it did not affect her tremendously. However, the breakup Lindsey went through made her realize how much a person changes when losing someone close after the person negatively affected
“Are you sure I can’t just transfer schools?”. A question I had asked a billion times over. “100%. I promise you, you will be okay”. My mom rubbed my back as my head dropped onto the cold kitchen counter. I didn’t want to hear that I would be okay. I wanted them to let me have my way. “You’re in your last year what difference would it make”. My brother joined the conversation as if someone had asked. I rolled my eyes, letting him know his opinion was being recognized and very neatly filed in the trash bin in my brain. I made my way to my bedroom and collapsed onto the bed, burying my face into the pillow. My parents were right, I could handle it. I just didn’t want to.
Turning on my heel, I headed into the main sitting room to find a horrendous site. Andrew, Courtney, Jane, Spinner, and a few of their other friends sat around on the luxury couches and arm chairs. I was still pissed at Andrew ever since our blowout about kissing him and him not paying me enough attention. My mouth flattened into a line as I gracefully collapsed onto one of the armchairs. "What the hell are you doing here?" I growled, locking eyes with my twin. "Mom suggested that we should come and visit while we're in New York. Look Samantha , I-" he attempted, but I cut him off with a sharp glare. "Talk to someone who cares Andrew", I growled, checking my messages. "Samantha he just wants-" Courtney started, but was interrupted by another voice. I turned my head and saw my little sister standing in the door way.
Ginny turned her head to the side, watching as the stream of students kiss their parents goodbye, the adults shedding tears like their children were dying, not leaving the house for a whole term, only until the school goes vacant for Christmas break. Ginny feels jealous, because neither their mother, nor father, even made an effort to see them off on their first day of college. They were quick to the excuses, as always. I'm going out of town on business, their father claimed, even though Ginny checked his work schedule, and their next out of town business wasn't marked for another three weeks. Ginny knew what business he is attending to, and it wasn't the one his work assigned him. I have a meeting, their mother conveyed, even though her school hasn't started classes yet. And, the ever prying Ginny, looked, and was once again crushed when she saw her next meeting was in four weeks. They were left. Left to the odd looks they received when stepping off the bus onto campus by themselves, Ginny gripping onto Aubrie's firm, strained hand, and Ginny knew Aubrie was trying her hardest to not grip onto her hand with her usual laid back, easy going grip. And, as soon as their feet touched the pavement, Aubrie snatched her hand away from Ginny, and went trotting off, towards the group of new people, already wanting to forget her built in best friend. Her sister,
