  <title>Phosphate11's Stories</title>
  <subtitle>I'm 14 years old and in 8th grade.

I have 5 main loves.  Blake Lewis.  Harry Potter.  Soccer.  Hairspray.  And Wicked.

But of course...

I love all my friends too

and everyone here on Ficlets!!!

I love to read, which is probably why I love to write.  


I really do love poetry even though I didn't use to, so I do like to right many poems along side of me different series on here .  My favorite poem is &amp;quot;Dreams&amp;quot; by Langston Hughes.

In 7th grade we had to right a poem about why we read, and in a why I can really relate it to why I write.

I write for so many reasons, sometimes I'm just bored, others I need a way to get my feelings out.  But no matter what the reason is, I'm always enjoying it.

And I love criticism!!! Good or bad. 


I'm usually the third wheel when hanging out with friends, but that's okay with me because people  would be bored without me, I guess I tend to always &amp;quot;make a scene&amp;quot; as one of my friends always likes to put it.

Career wise I have no clue what I want to do, I'm only 14.  But maybe something to do with writing could cross my path, which could be fun.  But on the other hand I was always interested in the Health Career.

So have fun reading my stuff, please comment and rate, thanks!!!

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was wrong&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hurt you&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hurt myself&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was lost, and didn&amp;#8217;t bother asking for directions&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was hopeless, and didn&amp;#8217;t ask for help&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I needed you, yet I left you in the darkness&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was confused&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#8217;t know the answer&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was trapped&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Stuck in a hole, that I couldn&amp;#8217;t climb out of&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was scared&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Scared to talk to you&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Scared to tell you&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Scared to know your reaction&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Scared to hurt you&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was angry&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was upset&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But I wasn&amp;#8217;t justified&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was in the wrong&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hurt you more, from hiding&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hurt you more, from lying&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hurt you more, from pretending&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I still don&amp;#8217;t know the answer&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;That I&amp;#8217;m still confused&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Still scared&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Still angry&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Still upset&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m finding my way&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Because of you&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sorry&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is just to say&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It feels like just yesterday&amp;#8230; when it all began.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;When we stepped in those doors, when we heard that bell ring.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;New pencils, sharp with clean erasers.&lt;br /&gt;New clothes, absent of stains and tears.&lt;br /&gt;New schedules, still learning the perfect route.&lt;br /&gt;New combos, just as forgetful as the last.&lt;br /&gt;New classmates, as eager as you.&lt;br /&gt;New teachers, their temper not yet revealed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A new year.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A new life.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But as you go through the motions, everything begins to blend together.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;One day, becomes the next.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;One month, becomes the next.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And then you&amp;#8217;re on break, way to early to be thinking about the end.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And then you go back, and just go though the motions, just like before.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But then, there it is, you approach the last few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Everything that you have come to known, is ending.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Everything you have gotten use to, is saying goodbye.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s over.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Just like that&amp;#8230;...&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;.......... and then it starts again&amp;#8230;......&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It was 9 weeks later.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was into the last quarter of the year.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But first, once again, somethings have changed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A couple weeks back, Bryce had kind of faded off of me. And I was able to act completely normal around him, now that I was no longer crushing on him.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was kind of ready for 8th grade to be over.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Now that we were done with the sewing part of Home Ec, we were beginning the cooking part.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I already had my cooking group, but we were trying to help out Lauren and Brooke with their group. There were only four people left in the class without a group. Brooke, Lauren, Alex, and Dan. Brooke did not really want to be with Lauren, Lauren did not want to be with Alex, and Dan really didn&amp;#8217;t care.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Listen, Brooke, Alex, Lauren, and Dan.&amp;#8221; Said Molly.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s four, come on just deal with it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Molly motioned Dan over.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Dan, be in their group.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Okay.&amp;#8221; He said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I had never thought about it before, but Dan was kind of cute.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ficlets.com/stories/26933"/>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I opened the door of the school and walked through the cafeteria into the back where the concession stand was.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;My mom explained the prices of everything to me, and then went back to organizing the money.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was volunteering at this thing called the &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8220;Cage Classics&amp;#8221;. It was basically just our city, hosting a bunch of basketball games for two weeks straight.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#8217;t really mind working the concession stand though, it was a lot better than selling tickets, plus there was free food.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A father and his son came up to the stand.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll take two cups of coffee. What do you want?&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;The father asked the boy.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nachos.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I went to get the coffee, but my mom stopped me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, I don&amp;#8217;t want you to spill, you get the nachos.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Fine, I can&amp;#8217;t believe you don&amp;#8217;t trust me to just pour some coffee.&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The boy smiled at my comment. I took a glance at him now.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;My face flushed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I handed him the nachos, and he held my eyes, longer then to just say thank you.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;My face reddened more as I flashed him a smile.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title type="text">Your Escape???</title>
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ficlets.com/stories/25354"/>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, I&amp;#8217;m sad.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, I&amp;#8217;m confused.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, I&amp;#8217;m frustrated.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, I&amp;#8217;m lost.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;At those times, I just escape.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Does anyone have something that they do, read, listen to, etc. when they are down or lost?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I was just thinking about that today, for me, if I ever feel like any of those, I use my escape, my comfort.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I either read Harry Potter.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And I&amp;#8217;m comforted, and found.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Or, I listen to &amp;#8220;Ooh Child&amp;#8221; by The Five Stairsteps.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The book gives me somewhere to belong,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;and the song warms me on the inside.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Do you know what I mean?&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Now that we were into the 2nd semester, I was starting &lt;br /&gt;home ec.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Lucky for me, Bryce was in this class too.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We were assigned our sewing machines by alphabetical order, and the way it worked out, Bryce was right in front of me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#8217;t expect that him and me were going to talk that much though, I just thought we were going to sit by each other all year, and that was fine with me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But we did talk. We talked a lot.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nora, help me out with this, what do I do next??&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;He said, turning around and looking at me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You just cut the thread.&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With my scissors?&amp;#8221; He asked, completely serious.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I tried to suppress my laugh, but couldn&amp;#8217;t manage to keep in my smile.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes, with your scissors.&amp;#8221; I told him.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Okay, so where do I cut?&amp;#8221; He asked.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It was so funny how nervous her was, he was so afraid of messing up.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Right in the middle.&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Here?&amp;#8221; He said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You sure?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m trusting you Nora.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m positive.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He cut the string, and collapsed in his chair with a huge sigh of relief.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I spent a long time trying to find a word, one word, the right word. That would explain your affect on me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Befuddlement&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You befuddle me!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;As many months pass, I still find you to be my main inspiration for writing, and I want to stop, to stop writing about you, to stop thinking about you, but I can&amp;#8217;t, because you are a part of me now.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;ll be with me, like a handprint on my heart.&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;For Good&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;Wicked&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t let you go.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I want to.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your beautiful eyes,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your wonderful smile,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your heartwarming voice&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your degrading stares,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your heartbreaking words,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your cruel farce.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I love you.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I hate you.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m befuddled by you.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You make me laugh.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You make me cry.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You befuddle me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You make me mad.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You make me sad.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I wish I never knew you.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t imagine life without you.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Do you see what you have done to me??&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Confused me to no end.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Because of you,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;forever I will always be&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ficlets.com/stories/21578"/>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;By that night I had forgiven Val.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It just wasn&amp;#8217;t worth staying mad at her for.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I just hoped that she was dating Michael because she actually liked him, and not to get Robbie (her old crush) jealous.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But since I didn&amp;#8217;t want to be hypocritical I decided to tell Val about Kyle.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The truth was I was a little confused about Kyle myself.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I mean I like Bryce.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I do.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Is it completely wrong to like two guys at once?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I have no idea.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And especially two guys that are basically best &lt;br /&gt;friends???&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It just doesn&amp;#8217;t make any sense.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But Kyle is so sweet.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Like that one time Alex took my book and wouldn&amp;#8217;t give it back, so Kyle acted all &amp;#8220;tough&amp;#8221; and got it for me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I guess I really do like him.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;me: &lt;em&gt;is it wrong to like 2 guys?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;val: &lt;em&gt;no, so who is this other guy you like?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;me: &lt;em&gt;promise not to tell?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;val: &lt;em&gt;yes I promise! duh!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;me: &lt;em&gt;kyle&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;val: &lt;em&gt;awwwwww&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;lav01: &lt;em&gt;too bad you just can&amp;#8217;t have both&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;aron11: &lt;em&gt;too bad I can&amp;#8217;t have one&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Is it wrong loving two guys? That&amp;#8217;s what I can&amp;#8217;t figure out.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It isn&amp;#8217;t easy that&amp;#8217;s for sure.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It isn&amp;#8217;t easy when you love two people with all your heart, yet neither will ever be yours.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Sam, he&amp;#8217;s so adorable, so sweet, so nice. He wouldn&amp;#8217;t hurt a fly.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;But he will never like me that way.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And Danny, he&amp;#8217;s perfect.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s cute.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s funny.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s kind.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s taken.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And here I sit, knowing that tomorrow is Valentines Day, tomorrow is Lovers Day,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;but I won&amp;#8217;t be receiving a gift from either&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;that&amp;#8217;s all my love is&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title type="text">An Inspiration Of Love</title>
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ficlets.com/stories/21044"/>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Torn between two who would you choose, the one that you love, or the one that loves you?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve always loved this saying, and even though I&amp;#8217;ve never been able to directly relate to it, I have always been drawn to it.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;With Valentines Day coming up so soon, I wanted to set a, well not a challenge, this isn&amp;#8217;t a competition, but I guess I wanted to set an inspiration, to get everyone in the mood.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I might even give it a shot myself.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I just want the line:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Torn between two who would you choose, the one that you love, or the one that loves you?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;to act as an inspiration for you, it doesn&amp;#8217;t have to be directly related to that exact sentence, it doesn&amp;#8217;t have to be about Valentines Day. But it should just be about love in general, it should be about however you interpret that sentence into whatever you want from your own individual mind.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Happy early Vday everyone!!!&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;After we were done laughing about Lindsay&amp;#8217;s fall, we walked over by the window and kept talking.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I still can&amp;#8217;t believe you found the top secret notebook!!&amp;#8221; Rachel said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know, it was just in my locker, like the burn notebook.&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ha ha, oh yeah, the burn notebook, wow good times.&amp;#8221; Rachel said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeah, it is really too bad that it ended.&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeah.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But what can we do, Val did quit, it was pointless after that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeah, oh speaking of Val, did you hear that she is going&amp;#8230;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Rachel stopped speaking when she saw the puzzled look on my face.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Going?? Going out??? With who!!??&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Maybe I wasn&amp;#8217;t suppose to tell?&amp;#8221; Rachel said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The bell rang and I stormed up to wait at Val&amp;#8217;s locker.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hey Val, so  ANYTHING NEW ??!!?&amp;#8221; I practically screamed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Val started to giggle.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Who is it?&amp;#8221; I asked impatiently.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Michael.&amp;#8221; She said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why wouldn&amp;#8217;t you tell me?&amp;#8221; I said.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;She looked down for a moment before responding.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You never asked.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content>
