Andy

My father has always said that you can not hold a man's past against him. I just assumed it was one of his throw-away phrases that he used in counselling, not a reference to his own self. I was willing to accept his indiscretions when I thought it was with some stranger, but figuring out that the woman in question may actually be my own girlfriend's mother, a woman who treated me like a son since the day I was born, that didn't sit well with me.

There was still a huge part of me that was hoping I had this all wrong, that Veronica wasn't the woman my father was referring to when he told me about his past mistakes. Our families are extremely close-knit, my mother and Veronica are best friends, and I know for a fact that it was Veronica who introduced Mum to Dad back when they were university students. A woman who had been cheated on by a man wouldn't be setting that same man up with her friend, right? I had to have it all wrong.

    Adrian stayed with us until the end of the game, cheering loudly for Andy every chance he got, in between sneaking glances at Jupiter every time she cheered on Sebastian. When the siren sounded out to signify the end of the match, the scores were 4-3, with Brixton narrowly taking home the win, and Andy being congratulated by his teammates for making it happen.Dad looked disappointed in the result, but as his team exited the field, he gave each one a pat on the back to show them that they'd played a good game in his eyes. He never holds his team responsible for losses, believing that yelling and berating them would only serve to destroy their spirit.I left Adrian and Jupiter and made my way over to where Dad was on the field, feeling a pang of guilt that I had cheered on the team that had just stolen the win from him."They played a good game," I tell my dad, hugging him tightly."I knew they would, now that they have Andrew on their team, he's a machine," Dad admits, giving credit t

    ClaireClaremont and Brixton had a long-standing rivalry when it came to soccer, dating way back to when Dad first reformed a Claremont team. According to Dad, Brixton were undefeated champions because they scouted other schools for the best players, offering scholarships in exchange for joining the winning team. Being invited to play for Brixton was a huge honour, and it opened so many doors for the players after their final school year, with a majority going on to play for national and international teams, but all that changed once the Claremont Bears won the school district championship, their first year of playing as a team.Parents of budding soccer players soon realised that they didn't have to fork out money for Brixton's overpriced tuition fee, just to get their child onto the Bulldogs. They had an equally superior team that was available at a public school, one that was being coached by a former professional player. Dad dropped the team fees that all schools have that cover u

    His lips crash against mine, fuelled by our building passion. He takes hold of my t-shirt and slowly peels it off me. I feel a sudden chill as the air hits my damp skin, but his hands soon heat me on my bare flesh. He unclasps my bra and pulls it forward, my loins clench when his hands cup my breasts, rolling his fingers over my nipples.I roll his tank top up his body, exposing his drool-worthy abs that I can't resist running my finger tips over. The boy is smoking hot, and he's all mine.He steps back from me, and for a moment, I think he's putting a stop to taking this any further, but he returns to me with the picnic rug in hand, laying it down on the hard, concrete floor beneath us.I unzip my shorts, giving him a show as I slide them down my legs and stand before him in just my purple, sheer panties. He follows suit, disposing of his own pants to be left in just his green, silk boxers, his huge bulge evident against the stretched fabric. "I want you to take your panties off and

    Outside, I notice the grey clouds that are moving in overhead. What started out as a beautiful, bright, sunny day is quickly turning cold, windy and threatening to rain, but nothing could dampen my spirits, I'm having the most wonderful birthday, even if the weather doesn't want to co-operate.I questioned Andy relentlessly as he drove, trying desperately to just get a single hint out of him of what he had planned, but he dodged each question masterfully by showering me in compliments and admiration. Eventually, I stopped asking, realising that he was never going to crack, but when I saw him turn off the highway and follow the road down to the beach, I had a fair idea of what he had planned.He parked his car in the empty parking lot, instructing me to wait in my seat while he unpacked items from the back of the car. I turn around in my seat, trying to catch a peek at what he is pulling out, but I can't see because the backseat blocks my view.He walks around to my door and opens it f

    ClaireI pushed down my nerves as I started the engine, blocking out the tester sitting in my passenger seat with a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. Slowly, I backed out of the parking space, carefully watching my surroundings to make sure I didn't have an accident or hit anybody. I straightened up my car and shifted the gear into drive before crawling forward at a snail's pace, out of the parking lot and onto the empty street."We're turning right at the traffic lights." The tester tells me, she told me her name but it went in one ear and got eaten up by my anxiety so now I have no clue what is is and I'm hoping we don't get into a serious accident that leaves her knocked out or worse and the police come and I have no idea what her name is.Focus, Claire, her name isn't important right now, what is important is turning right at the traffic lights up ahead.I put my blinker on, check my blind spots and slowly merge over into the right hand lane, pulling up when I can see

    Claire Your birthday is the most wonderful and special day of the year, a whole 24 hours of indulging in celebration simply for the fact that you were born on that day. I love my birthday, I love blowing out the candles and unwrapping my gifts, but mostly I love that it's the one day of the year that my pain in the arse brother is forced, by our parents, to be nice to me all day. This wasn't just any ordinary birthday this year, either. Today I am officially eighteen years old, which is essentially the same as being a key that unlocks the door into adulthood. I can legally walk into a liquor store and buy alcohol, I can join the military and go fight for my country, I can buy lottery tickets or gamble if I wish to and I now legally have to register myself on the electoral roll. I woke up this morning with a sense of renewal, as if, while I was sleeping, I discarded the part of me that made everyone in my life view me as a child. No longer would I be held back by 'when you're older
