I Never Asked You Out: Part 13
Caro snorted sarcastically. "Miscommunication... Please... I've known you too long to believe that shit you just spewed." "Ok, well what's wrong with me then? Am I not allowed to be friends with you anymore?" Lexa protested quietly.

Natural Magic Chapter 10
Read Chapter 9 Here Listen to This Chapter Here When her fabric magic class began. Ayan was unsure of her teacher. Mr. Depping was tall and frail looking, with white curls and a slightly bent back. His Faraday shirt was off-white and ill-fitting. His orange and white tie was smudged with dirt, and his trousers were wrinkled with tattered hems. Worst of all, the coarse fabric from which his clothes were made grated in her ears. Ayan had never been wealthy, but she had bartered with the local Xurugwi temple for cotton, linen, and sometimes satin scraps that she could piece together. Surely, Mr. Depping's salary was enough that he could have bought something better than canvas to wear.

The Initiation
The crowd are warming up now, swarming around the makeshift table which Zerdin has cobbled together from a few cardboard boxes. His manner is beguiling; his one-liners sincere, his winks to the ladies surreptitious, yet his hands move with the fluidity of water, operating the table with the speed and precision that a real gentleman wouldn't (shouldn't) have.

I Never Asked You Out: Part 4
The following week went by quickly. After Caro's first day back at school, there had been some strange looks thrown her way when she entered the class and walked to her desk. She had tried ignoring them but they wouldn't stop staring at her. Finally, after an excruciating hour of Maths, lunch came and went with absolutely no sign of Clark. She figured he must be busy preparing for his exams. As the bell rang signalling the end of school, she packed up her stuff and made her way to the door. Just as she was about to step out of the classroom, she felt someone grabbing her arm from behind. She spun round to find Lexa in her

I Never Asked You Out: Part 5
When Caro got home at 10 pm, she was feeling quite sad. But she couldn't help smiling as she thought about how happy and relieved she felt knowing that everything would stay between them. And that she would be able to see Clark for the next three weeks.

Finding Idlewild
Ruth walked along her street and up to her drive way, checking the mailbox on the way in. Her dad’s car was already parked in the front, and the lights from the t.v. could be seen through the window dancing across the wall inside the living room.

The Melody of Revolution
The favorite weapon of the revolutionaries was the bomb. These bombs, mostly hand-thrown, were similar to the later grenades or hand grenades. The Guangzhou revolutionaries used bombs to bomb Guangzhou General Fengshan and Li Zhun, the governor of the navy, and the Beijing revolutionaries bombed Liang Bi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard. This was true for assassinations, and also for revolutionary uprisings. In the Huanghuagang Uprising in 1911, the revolutionary vanguard charged with bombs in their hands, and Yu Peilun, the bomb king, had a basket of bombs hanging around his neck, throwing them as he charged, invincible. In the Xinhai Revolution, almost all revolutionary uprisings around the world could not do without bombs. So much so that the revolutionary army had a special kind of soldiers --- bomb squad, a cadre of daredevils, no other guys in their hands, only bombs.

Surrender
My fear of the ocean was ephemeral as the love of it took place. I fell in love with the lacy waves that softly crashed as they danced closer to my feet, the sound of the water that echoed my heart and mixed with my heartbeat, creating a beautiful melody, and the breeze of air that took fronds of my hair and made them into lashes that beat my face and blew above my head. I loved everything the ocean was to give. I wished I could stay here forever.

A Plateful of Summer
It was much too hot to eat, we believed, and no matter our hunger, it was much too hot to brave the perils of the ride in a hot car, the few thousand miles we had to travel. The actual distance was fewer than a dozen miles, but we were children, and nothing was ever medium-sized to us — either gigantic, or miniscule. Degrees of intensity were a grown-up's necessity.

Her first class was algebra, which she unfortunately shared with Miriam. Ayan had it as well, however, which made Miriam's presence more tolerable. Then she had history of the Major Continent, which she and Matsias had both requested, in the hope that they would have it together, only he was in the afternoon section. After that, she learned Miriam was also in her Nefralean Literature class. Ayan wasn't. Her final class before lunch was electrocasting in room 301B. She had done two circuits around the third floor before someone caught her attention.
