'Hey dad'. I croaked out.
'Zayn, shouldn't you be asleep?''I guess I should but I did that all day so I'm kind of spent'.He coughed awkwardly and I realized my mistake.'That came out wrong'.'Whatever. You shouldn't be reading with such dull lighting, that's why your eye defect keeps getting worst'.
'I can see just fine, besides it can't get any worse'.'It actually can but you never listen so what's the point? Don't stay up all night'. He said and closed the door.'Now back to the mystery'. I muttered as I returned to the book I had been reading.A few minutes later, my laptop went off notifying me of an incoming Skype call. I moved to my desk. It was Lau

‘She cried for an hour straight before falling asleep and continued the moment she woke up for another hour’. Travis said while I laughed hysterically.‘Kello really did cry when she got her first period? Why didn’t I know about this?’‘She was so embarrassed and the boys just helped in upsetting her more. This is top notch secret, you cannot talk to her about it’.‘I can’t promise when it’s so hilarious’.‘Please, if she ever finds out I told you, she won’t do my laundry for a month’. He pleaded.‘Then you’ll do it yourself’. I stated.‘I don’t even know how to turn on the machine’.I sighed.‘You are a lost case Trav’.‘I thought we established that you’d call me daddy’. He said with a cute pout and I just had to kiss those lips.‘In your dreams’. I said sweetl

We all sat Indian style facing Queenie. It was three in the morning and the alcohol was beginning to wear off. I had texted Katie and Pokello to join us at Queenie’s when they got back into town.‘So, what are you going to do?’ Katie asked‘Do you even have to ask? She is going to forget his conceited ass after we finish beating him up’. Pokello said with finality.‘We are not beating anyone up’. Queenie rushed out.‘You stay out of this, I am still pissed you didn’t tell us about it, we are supposed to be besties’. Pokello queried.‘Again I’m sorry but no one is beating Andrew. He might be an ass but I still love him’. We all stared at her in horror.‘I said the big L word’. She said more to herself.‘And that is not good’. Katie stated‘You think I don’t know t

I’m used to having eyes on me but they are usually eyes of high school as well as college girls, envious boys and admiring grandmothers not deadly eyes of murderous stoners.‘What did you say Rodriguez?’ Seth asked. Bloodshot eyes warning me not to test his patience but I wasn’t going to heed to that warning.‘I said I am not the man for the job, give it to someone else’.‘I want it to be you’. He said calmly.‘I cannot do it’. I maintained.‘Why not?’ Tattered butted in.‘I am not a killer’. I said, staring firmly at him.‘That is why we are making you one’. He said like it was the simplest thing in the world.‘Thanks for the kind gesture but I’m good’.‘We insist’. Seth said, taking a drag from his pipe.‘What? Now you think you are better than us?’ Tattered spoke, taking la

We were all panting and coach looked too happy to see us with our tongues hanging out. Our final game is in three days and we have been practicing our asses off.‘That was a close one tigers’. Coach said ‘Close one? We can barely feel our lungs’. Pokello flared. ‘If you feel your lungs Poks then you have more issues than I thought’. Most of the girls laughed as Pokello glared at coach’s back.‘We have to win this and definitely not because I made a bet with the other coaches. Practice at all times, I mean it and for those of you who haven’t, you still have enough time to get some, you know. I heard it helps relaxes….’‘Ehm coach, I don’t think that is very appropriate for you to say’. I stepped in before he cost himself his job. ‘Whatever. It’s not like you don’t hear it eve

‘Oh my god!’ Katie screamed from three lockers away where she was waiting for Queenie to get her books. Kello and I ran to them. Queenie looked like she had seen a ghost and when I looked at her closed locker, I wished that was the case. ‘He did this’. Queenie mumbled. ‘Who?’Growing murmurs from down the hall drew our attention and when I saw the crowd in front of the notice board I knew the picture was pasted there too, the picture of Queenie and Mr. Dawson kissing in bed, barely dressed. I heard Queenie running out but the laughter from our fellow students drowned her footsteps as Pokello and Katie went after her.‘Shut the fuck up!’ I jeered and they quietened. ‘Who did this?’ I snarled but they all stared at me. ‘I will find out who did it and I’m gonna kill them with a garden fork. I’m gonna….’

We were down by five points and I made it a point to not glance over at coach if I didn’t want to be murdered by eyes. My desire to win had flown away, leaving me with the digging need to make sense of everything in my life.Queenie was sandwiched between Katie and Daniel. Typing away on her phone, probably battling those who had made it their duty to slut-shame her. Yesterday someone inked ‘whore’ onto her locker and she made the o into a blushing smiley.Zayn had a frown etched onto his face from constantly trying to dodge the huge fan~board Gracie was holding that said; MEGHAN IS QUEEN #4. My eyes met with hers and she screamed what I made out to be: you can do it sis!The bleachers were overcrowded and the cheers deafening, almost drowning out the screams of my teammates. Pokello was playing center while I was the small forward. We needed at least three goals, two if w

Her uncharacteristic silence bugged me. Mom had seen me leave to get her but luckily for us, she wasn’t in the living room when we got back so we hurried to my room and she quickly placed herself by the window.‘Okay seriously. What’s wrong?’ I asked, again.‘Nothing. I’m just party-lagged’.‘Party-lagged? Is... That is not even a thing and if it were I think it’d be characterized by drowsiness, impaired speech and nausea not dead silence’.‘Don’t tell me you miss my voice’.‘No? I just hate to be bored’.‘Well I’m not here to entertain you. You were supposed to tell me something?’Her voice was steely.‘Did Travis do something? Coz the last time you were transferring aggression like this he had dumped you for a cat’. I regretted it the second I said it but her reaction conf

June was telling someone about my weekend tradition. They had been talking for a while but I couldn’t make out a word. As the events of last night swiftly came to me, I squeezed my eyes shut.I was in Zayn’s room and I had told him more than I should have last night. My eyes snapped open and easily found his green ones. I could see the uncertainty in them and I knew my admittance of the attraction I feel towards him last night must be making him feel awkward around me.‘Meghan. Are you okay?’ my eyes moved to June and I smiled. She had an extra glow to her skin.‘I’m fine’. She nodded‘Don’t let Zayn wolf down all the cupcakes, it’s not exactly healthy for breakfast but it’s what I was craving’.Ah, even her vocabulary was knocked up.‘Don’t worry, I won’t let him bully me’. She smiled and disappeared from the room.&lsquo
