please as reply to Let the Mud Settle

At the bar Jack sat in a booth in the corner instead of at the bar. This was unusual to do when alone. It was an unspoken rule that loners were supposed to stay out of this booth. For the most part loners sat at the bar. That's where you...

what was i winning as reply to Let the Mud Settle

Jack couldn't win in high school. On the internet he was known for being jacked. But that was because you could just get swole and look big in pictures.

calvin's excuse as reply to Go Inside

Inside the noise reverberated. Laughs. Screaming conversations. A guitar was playing. Derek sung a tune that sounded Irish.

Girls were in spaghetti straps; boys in shorts and tanktops or light, breathable cotton tees.

It was dark except for the glow of yellowish lamps. Everybody was either smiling or nodding with eyes half...

i hope so, calvin as reply to Ring Off

She didn't take the ring off because she was interested in Calvin. She took it off because she was embarrassed to say she was looking for a man named Keith. And of course Calvin would ask, is that your husband?

She would feel stupid saying no. I am married though. To...

keith learns a lesson as reply to Western Game

Keith, his mom, and his brother moved away from theΒ  ghost town before Keith hit middle school. Thus Keith never really knew what it was like to grow up there. He thought you didn't really know what a place was unless you went to at least middle school there.

He did...
