The Catcher In The Rye Novels & Stories

I stayed where I was and let her come to me, let her enormous head lower until her nose brushed my open palm, warm and real and impossibly gentle for something so big. Something in my chest that had been clenched since the moment Alpha Jordan said the word reject unclenched all at once. “We’re okay,” I told her, and I meant it as a question and it came out as a promise. “We’re going to be okay.” Light poured into the dark from nowhere and everywhere, white and total, and I felt myself being lifted, or pulled, or born, I couldn’t tell which— —and then I was choking on air instead of water, flat on cold stone, coughing so hard my ribs hurt, and someone was shouting my name from very far away a

It should be a downhill stroll at this point except for one major kick in the nuts—the last batter is the other team’s best hitter. I can tell the second I hear the crack of the bat that this is going to be a hard hit. I race to catch it, all of the adrenaline and focus I’ve been storing up propelling my body forward, faster than I thought I could run. Every thought of the past few months that I’ve used to motivate me comes racing along with me—Jane above everything else. I make a diving catch, snagging the ball.

Lin Yilan felt a surge of urgency and immediately gave chase. The thief who stole the luggage was a young boy, riding the rattling bicycle at a flying speed, disappearing around the street corner in the blink of an eye. Lin Yilan chased for several dozen meters, picked up a piece of rubble from the roadside, and threw it, hitting the spinning rear wheel dead center. The bicycle crashed down with a bang, and the riding thief rolled on the ground, tossed the suitcase to an accomplice across the street, and fled into a dark alley himself.

I said as I shrugged my shoulders. He gazed back at me and pinched my forearm. It's just light, but since I like to over react, I yelped in pain. "Lunatic," he murmured. I sat back down on the concrete bench where I was sitting earlier. I looked into my bag and considered cleaning it. It was full of wrappers and trash since I was eating in class before I decided to cut classes. "Anyway, who's that?" Morris asked while still answering a question on his iPad.

Venus P.O.V..... Saying goodbye to my parents and brothers was the hardest thing I have ever done. I had almost decided not to go, but the thought went away as quickly as it had come about. I was on a mission and I couldn't let the fear of leaving my family stop me. The trip from our small pack airport to Sea-Tac airport was quick and smooth. Now I was safely nestled into a first class cubby. There was alot of room. I had my own T.V. and mini bar. The flight attendant told me since I was underage they had taken any alcohol and replaced it with extra pop and water. My parents had sent notice to them ahead of time. As I looked into the mini bar I noticed that the only pop in there was Dr. Pepp

Grabbing my hidden pistol and tucking it safely into my holster located under my jacket, I quickly dashed down the stairs. I stood in awe as I took in the sight before me. Standing there were the two sets of twins, Isaac and Landon, and Liam and Parker. They all wore huge grins when they saw me. "Ma found out enough. Time to take you home, little sis." Isaac spoke just as a guy came from behind. The four of them glared as the right-hand grabbed me across my shoulders in a feeble attempt to use me as a shield. "Let her go." Isaac's voice grew into a growl and was dripping with menace. I, on the other hand, rolled my eyes and flung my head back as hard as I could. I winced when I came in conta

Phoebe hastily scribbled down an address, her face full of sincerity. "This is my mother's address. She's the one who did this. I don't know anything about it." I asked, "Your mother? If you can contact her, why are you living in an orphanage?" Unexpectedly, Phoebe suddenly started banging her head frantically like a madwoman. "I don't know, I really don't… Mrs. Shaw, please go find her…"

I walked into the room, carrying the tray while keeping my expression steady. As I passed Jonathan, he didn't react at all. It was as if he didn't recognize me. I let out a quiet sigh of relief and moved to William. Just as I was about to set his cup down and leave he suddenly grabbed my wrist. With my heart pounding, I looked up to meet his intense gaze. "Charlotte." I looked down and tried to pull my hand back, but his grip tightened. Matthew spoke up, "Mr. Reed, why are you grabbing my employee? If you're looking for trouble, then it's best that you leave."

Bobby reminded me of that sometimes, someone who belonged among the unusual, yet somehow existed in the middle of the ordinary. He often talked about writing in his spare time, and when he did, his speech would occasionally be laced with literary references. “Can I see some of the things you’ve written?” I asked. “You don’t really mean that.” “Yes, I do.” He hesitated, thinking it over. “Maybe I’ll bring something next time.” “Did you always want to be a writer?” “Ever since I read The Catcher in the Rye.” My heart sank slightly. I braced myself for another ageing, angst-ridden adolescent clinging to Holden Caulfield like gospel.
