I walked into my forth period, dreading Chemistry. It had been my mother's favorite subject she studied it and talked about it often. If there was ever anything I needed help on, in this subject in particular, she was there for me.
Like I said, she was, until I made the mistake I'll literally never live down, not ever.

My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire rising through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive!

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

I hate my name. I hate my life. I hate not having a dad. I hate being me. I hate being addicted to racing now almost literally. I hate hiding who I am. I just hate it!

You gotta look in your eye that looks a lot like goodbye

Don't say a word
I'm okay with the quiet
The truth is gonna change everything
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
Lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye
And lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie

Uh, isnt summer supposed to be, you know, warm? And sunny? Nudge asked, staring out the window where a huge storm raged. It was one of those thunder and lightening storms that rattles the entire house and illuminates every dark corner.
Technically, yes. I sighed, missing the sun just as much as anyone. This thunderstorm had been going strong since early this afternoon.
Unfortunately, this is a state where summer storms are very common. I explained.
Why the heck did we decide to move here then? Gazzy grumbled and crossed his arms across his chest.

Okay, I'll admit, that was a very humiliating defeat earlier. Fang cheated and embarrassed me all at the same time... that little creep. Wasn't embarrassing Fang and Iggy the whole point of that game? I'm starting to think that got turned backwards on me somehow. It's not like they ever could have seen that coming so it was pure skill. No wait, not skill, luck. That's it, luck. It won't happen this time though. Now it's time for game two and he will be brought down.

Geez, I probably sound like a first grade girl complaining about some boy in my class with cooties. Well, when you get older you find out boys can have a lot poorer qualities than cooties. In fact, I will take the cooties back any day; it would simplify things a bunch.

Dont you just hate it when things get out of balance? I know I do. Why else would Max and I have been having this private ongoing war these past couple of weeks? When two people who love revenge start a prank/ embarrass the other more competition, lets just say it has an interesting outcome. And to think it all started with popcorn, sad.
Plus, yesterday it went outta wack with a kiss. Im not sure whose side that goes to, I know I enjoyed it. A lot. Probably more than I should have, but its true. Then when I heard Max call me a great kisser last night I wanted to fly away with her forever. Ill save that for late

I dont think its humanly possible for there to be a task more monotonous than doing laundry. The putting in the washer and dryer, and then the folding of each individual article; its like a huge broken record repeating the same song over and over until you want to bash your head into a wall. Okay, maybe Im exaggerating the teeniest bit but you catch my drift I hope.
Unfortunately, its my week for laundry. The chores go in cycles of a week at a time. That might sound kind of OCD of me, but it helps to ensure the house from into total chaos. And trust me we are still nowhere near neat and tidy by any means.

Hey, Fang whispered, gently pushing my hair off my forehead. Whats wrong?
I looked up into his dark chocolate eyes and sighed. I feel empty. I said finally.
Like Im about to fall apart right here and now but there is nothing I can do to stop it. I admitted in a monotone, but unfortunately the weight was still pressing down heavily on my chest.
Empty? He repeated worry etched into his flawless face. And right there folks is exactly why I didnt want to tell him, I knew he would worry and weve already got enough on our plates to concern ourselves

I. Need. Chocolate! And now! Man, I have such a bad craving I might bite the next person who even makes chocolate cross my mind heads off. Whenever it comes to that certain time of month, I have extreme cravings that drive me insane. I have searched the entire house, and no chocolate is to be found anywhere! Ive even checked everyones special stashes they dont think I know about. And yes, I would sink that low right now if thats what your thinking. Slamming my door shut, I groaned loudly and flopped onto my bed face first. Why cant there ever be chocolate around when I need it to be?
A minute or two
Why the hell are you making this so difficult? he asked. I mean, I like you, you like me, isnt that how its supposed to be?
Thats how it normally is, I whispered, my voice shaking as I said it. But we arent normal, Fang, I said harder. We dont have a house! We dont have friends and school and cute little shirts with penguins on them!
You think that would make us any easier? Huh? You think normality is the reason were like this?
Its the lack of normality that causes our problems, I said bitterly. Face the facts

Ella! Are you coming? I called upstairs.
Just a minute! She called back.
I had finally gotten the guts to ask her out on a date and she actually said yes! I couldnt believe it. We were going to Chantals Ice Cream Shop right down the street from here. They were hosting a party for the community.
Seconds later Ella bounded down the stairs sounding as bubbly as ever. I touched her face and her lips were turned up in a smile. I smiled.
You ready? I asked.
Yes, what about you? She giggled.

For some reason, I had the urge to post what I'm feeling right now. I'm not talking about whether I feel good or not. That's not what I mean. I'm talking about the things that are on my mind.
For starters, why are we all so mean to each other? I mean, think about it. Someone could work so hard and be so proud of something they did, like a picture, a poem, or a chapter in a story they've made. It could be anything. They could be extremely proud of it, but someone is gonna come and tell them how terrible it is. What's gonna happen to that person? Anything could happen. They could shake it off, they could be a little hurt, or they coul

those of you who are fans of my series, Hitched, you're gonna love this news. i am actually working on the next chapter. i figured out where i want it to go, and i'm working on it right now. so, i'll have it done soon, probably about five, ten minutes, and it'll be up for you! thank you to all of you who posted and encouraged me, because i thought i was done with it, but thank you! i hope you like it, after two months, but thank you!!!
You're cool. I read a little bit of your journal thing, i didn't have time to read all of it, but its really inspiring, and i really do agree. That you live everyday without worrying too much. And (i can't remember if you said this) but a smile makes my day, if i can make someone smile, or someone makes me smile, its worth it. (:
