A few months back, My language arts teacher announced our poetry unit, where we would have to write ten poems on a variety of mandatory and optional subjects. As an overachiever, I decided “Why don’t I start now?” because, as an awful poet, I expected to make a lot of revisions. We never got around [...]

Last night I had an interesting dream that, for once, wasn’t scary, or confusing, or creepy. It was actually kind of nice.

When I stepped into the class room, I knew something was wrong, [...]

Alice-Marie knows a little bit about her story now. She says it might be about an unpopular girl, an outcast, but past that she lost.
