Any World (That I’m Welcome In) – 13By SammyC©2023 SammyC“You turned George down?” Nick asked, dumbfounded.

5. Play BallI glanced at myself in the rear-view mirror for no more than the seventy-third time since leaving Jaime’s place, not sure whether to feel elated or appalled at the results.Jaime was a genius when it came to hair, even when all he was doing was a trim and clean-up. He had insisted on doing a bit more than that, of course… but not a lot.What I left with was a hair trim that kept my s...

“How many times do I have to say no?” I protested. “I’m not going to wear nail polish!”“See, you’re thinking some sort of color,” Joanna countered. “I’m talking a matte clear coat.

It was a messy spectacle, not helped by the giggling fits caused by Tom’s silly knock-knock jokes. The other patrons in Baskin-Robbins looked on. Half of them thought Artie was having a fit; the other half thought we were insane.“St...

Small ProblemPart 16“Can I call you?” asked the boy I’d seen for the first time in my life less than five seconds before.I slowly shook my head. “Sorry, no. Thanks for asking, though.”Still grinning, he continued, “Oh come on. I’d love to take you out. Dinner. Movie. Dancing.”“I’m sure you’re a nice person and all, but seriously, I’m seeing someone already.”“Who?” he ...

3. Extra MustardNot for the first time, I reconsidered if I really wanted to go through with what I was doing.The building was intimidating by design, painted a mixture of blacks, dark greys, and electric blues that gave the techno-futuristic styling a sinister air, made all the more unsettling by the building’s almost perfectly cubic shape.Taking a deep breath, I checked my list one last time b...

I tried to pull my jeans up again. How could they not fit when I had worn them just last night? “Jo!” I called out, my voice breaking. If I couldn’t get this pair of jeans up over my hips, would none of my clothes fit anymore? “Jo!” I called again.“I’m on the way,” she called back.Damn this house for being so big, I couldn’t tell where she was.“I’m upstairs in my room,” she...

Small Problem -14- by Melanie Brown

Small ProblemPart 14I sat on the steps for the door leading to the gym. I drew my legs up and wrapped my arms around my legs, and rested my head on my knees. I got angry with myself for letting the tears flow. I shouldn’t let them get to me. I sucked in a deep breath. They’re still my friends, the only ones I have so far at school. But just really thoughtless friends. They’re just kids, afte...
