My Magic Summer

When we enter the cabin, I know for sure that our roommate is indeed the Makena from our school. Judging by the look she’s giving me, it seems her friends didn’t completely convince her about me after all.

From Taylor to Tay-Tay, Chapter 6

Chapter Six

Once Taylor was sure that Sarah was gone, he made short work of removing the dress he had been wearing for hours at this point. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do the same with the panties. He was going to have to keep those on all night, as going commando made him even more nervous because of his size down there. For the next few days, he was going to have to be extra careful at school and at home, as the slightest glimpse of the waistband could be enough to sink him.

From Taylor to Tay-Tay, Chapter 5

Chapter Five

Taylor had his phone now, which was one of the few improvements from the previous day. He dug it out from where he had stashed it in his backpack before daycare, planning on texting Anna to see if she was at the house. Before he could do so, Sarah plucked the device from his hand. “Taylor, this is just to be used for emergencies,” she said, “Is this an emergency?” She tucked the phone between her thighs for safekeeping while driving, correctly assuming that Taylor wouldn’t reach down there to get it back.

Lisa, part 8

I bite my lip as I stare at my friend, trying to judge her reaction to what I just said — is it surprise, or shock, or, as much as I hope it isn’t, disgust?

“…Bailey?” I ask hesitantly. “Did you hear — I, umm, I meant what I said. I’ve — I’ve always wished that I was a girl. Pl- please say something?” I bite my lip as Bailey looks at me, her mouth slightly ajar as she tries to find the words to reply. Please, I think to myself. Please be understanding, is that really too much to ask for?

Lisa, part 7

“Liam! Come here!” I hear a voice yell, making me grunt as my eyelids flicker open and I take in my surroundings — my bedroom in Sonia’s flat, with bright sunlight streaming through a gap in my curtains. However, it isn’t Sonia who’s calling me. “Liam! I haven’t got all day!”

It was a strange time to be a peacekeeper of any kind, because it was a shameful kind of peace to preserve. Multiculturalism had failed; polite society had ceased and democracy had mutated into the exercise of force through strength in numbers.

Preparation for the Ball


Preparation for the Ball

By Daphne Xu

"You look fabulous," Teresa said, parting Taylor's hair down the middle and combing it down the sides. Teresa must have seen skeptical disbelief in Taylor's face, because she continued, "Absolutely. Hold still just a moment, while I touch up your eye-liner. There. You'll be the darling of the Ball."

sissygirl’s journey 7

I just wanted to touch on my love of Mary Janes since it was such a big part of my life, especially when I was very young and even into my life as a adult, I will cover it all and I hope it’s not too boring since I’ll probably be mentioning events that I have talked about before.

"What are you doing? Are you... wearing my mini-skirt?"

Karen's voice echoed in the room, but Sofia wasn't scared. She knew her sister wouldn't judge her. Karen had always been her biggest supporter, her confidante, and her role model.

"It's just... I like how it looks," Sofia replied, blushing a little. "I feel... like Sofia when I wear it."

Karen smiled and approached her sister. She took her hand and turned her gently so she could see herself in the mirror.

"You look beautiful, Sofia," she said sweetly. "That skirt looks perfect on you."

Believe!

I awoke with a start.

I had fallen asleep!

I shook my head in an attempt to wake up more. How long had I been asleep? I would be in trouble now. Smith was not a patient man and he would…

‘Oof!’

What was that?

I looked up, and in the faint glow of my lamp, I saw a pair of boots waving about a bit.

The boots were attached to red-covered legs.

I was a bit hot and feverish, and I wondered whether I was still dreaming. I put my hand out and touched one of the boots...

Lisa, part 6

“Beautiful,” I involuntarily whisper as I watch the image on my screen, grateful that my microphone is on mute and that none of the other teenagers — the other girls — on the call can hear me. And in fairness, the images I’m seeing ARE beautiful.

The 15-year-old girl looks effortlessly elegant as she glides across the floor in her pink tutu. Even her pink face mask doesn’t detract from the illusion that she is the perfect image of a ballerina — although the badge stuck to the tutu that says ’15 today’ does a little.

Chapter 1: The Wish

The morning sunlight filtered into the small bedroom, casting a soft glow on Daniel’s face as he sat on the edge of his bed, staring at himself in the mirror. His hazel eyes looked tired, and his brown hair, always a bit unruly, stuck up in all directions. He sighed, pulling at the loose hem of his shirt.

Today was his fifteenth birthday, but he felt as invisible as ever.

Tracie's Grounded

The next morning at the breakfast table a freshly grounded Tracie was almost shouting. "If I was a boy, I wouldn't be grounded, and we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now!”

Speaking through his teeth, Tracie's dad spat, "You ARE a boy!"

"No. No, she's not."

It was spoken quietly, almost unheard, but it had a force behind it that shut everyone up.

Corinne looked at her husband, "Face it, honey, she's not a boy and hasn’t been for a long time, if ever, really." He sat back down and put his forehead in his hands, staring at his plate.

Despite her ability to maintain control during the duel, she understood that she must be fully prepared if Seraphina were to push her even harder in the future. This realization fueled her as she returned to her early morning sessions with Instructor Kael, her determination unwavering as she strived to master the delicate balance between power and control.

One thing to note, although it will be clear very early in the story, is that the story is originally from 12-year-old Jake's perspective, and is being read to an audience by 16-year-old Jake.

The sun was just beginning to rise over the spires of Gale Haven Academy when Akari woke up on her first day of classes. Despite the early hour, her roommates, Lila and Mira, were already up and moving, chattering excitedly about what the day would bring.

“First day of school at Gale Haven!” Lila practically sang as she flung open the curtains, letting the morning light stream into their room. “This is going to be awesome!”
