“Alright, class, sit down!” Mr. Bright called the class of rambuncous 11th graders to their seats. He turned to the black board and wrote the days assignment on it. Turning back to the class, he tapped the board with his chalk.
“Tell me about something you cherish,” he said. Tossing the chalk behind him and, as usual, yet no less miraculously, it hit the black board and fell right into place beneath it.
“It could be a book, a peice of jewely, a family member,” the sandy haired teacher took long strides through the rows as he spoke to his pupils. “Or even your special someone.”
Scattered giggles greeted this comment as Mr. Bright returned to his desk. He picked up his timer and set it.
“You have… five minutes. Begin.”
The writers didn’t need to be told twice. Immedeatly pencils were darting across the page, lead and ink portraying the things the young adults held dear to their hearts.
Only one girl hadn’t written a word yet. It was too difficult to choose- Mr. Bright… or their engagement ring?

So, according to tradition, I must devise a challenge.
For my fiftieth ficlet challenge I want you to write a lo…A sequel to `crayola.'s 50 ficlet challenge: A Unique Love Story
About the author
Alexis DeHearts
Minnesota
Before I say anything else… I’ve gotten the love bite and it is oh so adorable (coos over love-bite) ...anyhoo…
I’ve been writing since I was in fourth grade when I was forced to write a short story. I was suprised at how fun it was, and took it casually from there. It wasn’t until sixth grade that I began to think of writing as a career. I’ve written one book (unpublished) and have another in progress, as well as a musical, which I am writing with a good friend of mine.
Besides writing, I also enjoy singing, acting, playing piano and composing and arranging music (especially jazz).
Besides my hobbies, I should probably just give some background and stuff…
I have ADHD, which I may sometimes reference to, though I try to never use it as an excuse. I really dislike when people say they can do stuff because they have ADD or ADHD.
I moved for the first time last summer, and am still adjusting, although this winter I have been infinatly greatful for our fireplace.
As is implied earlier, besides writing, my greatest passion is music. I often have my doubts about singing (Tenkou will attack me for that…) though people often assure me that I have an amazing voice. But it’s going through an out-of-whack stage right now… which is why I hate adolesence.
I’m fourteen, and participated in an international thingy that I won’t name, for my own saftey, last year. It was scenario writing, and I won first in state, as well as second on a team of three writers at internationals.
