I made the decision to try and keep some distance between Brianna and myself over the next few days. John's demeanour was really bad tempered and sour. He was grumpy and snapped at Debbie or me for no reason. I knew it was because of Brianna, so I tried to keep some distance between us. That of course was impossible she lived next door for heaven's sake. Sh...
Becky lugged her gym bag casually over her shoulder as she shuffled into the gym, heading directly toward the free weights in the back.

Vera knocked lightly on the door to Xui-Li's cabin, gathering herself for this next phase of the emotional roller coaster. She was unused to feeling so powerless, to being at everyone's beck and call, to having no say whatsoever in what she did or what was done to her.

On my return to college, swimming and volleyball tryouts took place during the first week of classes. Swimming was always my preferred sport and I easily qualified for a spot on the team.
