"Lissa?" Jill tossed her purse in the corner as she walked into the apartment, her dark hair sticking to her forehead in the sweltering heat. She knew that it always irritated Lissa when she left her purse there, but at the moment, Jill wasn't all that interested in making Lissa happy. "Where the heck have you been?" Not that Jill was completely furious wit...
Olivia was a quiet girl. Not too many friends, but she loved the ones she had. She had long black hair, dark brown eyes with black eye liner on and slightly pale skin. She had a small face with a tiny nose, complete with a stud piercing. Her eyebrows where thin and black with not a hair out of place. She had rosy red lips, which were small, cute and always f...
Glad you liked it HiddenInTheOpen. Everyone who enjoys it really! I don't like clowns. Getting better with them... slightly. Sorry for the delay, really working out where I am going with this. -^v^V^v^- Monday is almost over now. Anna has yet to be as cordial with Dina as she is with Marissa.

"Number 28, they screwed up my name." Kim Burgos closed her eyes and sighed, hoping that when she opened them again, it would be early evening and she'd be in her hotel room, settling in for a solid ten hours of sleep.

Should anyone get to the end and contemplate commenting, you should know that comments make my life. * "Fi! Hold the door!" A screech cuts through the rush hour bustle, and I wince in recognition. Clutching my bag closer, I sink into m...
Callie wanted to lick her lips, as she did whenever she got nervous. She'd put on strawberry chapstick just minutes before so she had to be careful. If she licked them she'd lick the chapstick off and she didn't think she'd be able to reapply without being obvious about it. Instead, she clenched her fists and let her nails dig into her palms. Thinking of the...
This won't make much sense unless you've read Chapter 1. Consider Chapter 1 as the scene setting and background info; this chapter is where you get to see what it was all for. If you would like to edit the next chapter for me, please get in touch! As always, enjoy, and let me know your thoughts! *** At eleven the next morning (security had let me in earl...
-------------------- Prologue -------------------- There it stood, mocking her, the book Madalena had promised herself to be finished reading within a month. Now the self-imposed deadline was one week away, and only twenty pages of the book had been turned thus far. But tonight would be the night. She'd taken her pyjama from the small drawer of the room h...

This story takes its inspiration from my work 'Sketchbook' in which a shy and inexperienced young boy becomes infatuated with an older artist.
