Screw [name_f]Destiny[/name_f], We’ll Write Our Own [name_u]Story[/name_u]
Everything, and I mean everything, is written in the stars. Your future partner, where you’ll live, even the grades you’ll get on your tests. There’s nothing you can do about it.
Most people don’t have the chance to see what’s going to happen, though, so it’s not a huge deal. If you’re anything like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], though, you can see your fate. And [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] hates everything about hers.
It claims that she’s going to suffer, a lot. Including that she’s going to be unhappy in love through her teenaged years, that she’ll end up settling down with a man when she’s twenty-three and have four kids, along with having stillborn twins.
The thing is, [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] doesn’t like boys. She’s got a crush on the new girl in her class, quiet (and also Star-Sighted!) [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] seems to like her back, too, so why don’t they just write their own stories?
After all, you’ve got to make things happen. You can’t just sit back and let the world force you down a path, right?
Next: A Royally Disastrous [name_u]Legacy[/name_u]
so, if you haven’t played title and blurb yet, it’s super fun if you love writing. it was popular recently, but died down so i’m redoing it.
basically, i’ll start by saying a title of a book that i just made up at the end of this. then the next person replies and writes a blurb for the title. then at the end of theirs, they say a title and it all continues.
the first title: After You Left
You weren’t supposed to leave. We were supposed to always be together, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. But then some opportunity came along, and guess what? You took it. And so know you are off having fun being a child prodigy, playing piano at Carnegie [name_m]Hall[/name_m] and I’m still back here being [name_f]Nora[/name_f], the one who sits in the back of the class and cries every time anyone plays piano. Because I know that you left because you wanted to. And you didn’t even look back.
It’s been five years since [name_f]Raya[/name_f] first got stuck in the time loop, five years since she decided she’d use every minute to help fix the lives of those around her, and five years she’s been away from her family. She couldn’t stick around as she grew up and they stayed the same. But as she sits on her favorite seat of the same Greyhound bus and eats a Twinkie to celebrate her 17th birthday, she wants things to change now more than ever. And when the bus stops suddenly to take on a new passenger, her wish starts to come true, and there’s no going back.
Ever since he learned to walk, [name_u]Harry[/name_u]’s life has been and endless loop of “Ugh, not again…”. Everywhere he goes, everything he does, everyone he meets, it just seems to be a neverending cycle. But when a scholarship from a college across the world gives him a chance to change that, he might as well take it right?
It took the whole village to clean up after the hurricane struck. But now, it is taking the whole village to make [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] okay. She knows her brother is still alive, but the last time she saw [name_u]Dean[/name_u], he was getting onto a sailboat with his best friend, [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]. Then the storm hit. It came out of nowhere; even [name_f]Norma[/name_f] the dog had no idea it was coming. So now [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] and her boyfriend [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] are going to find them. Because [name_m]Desmond[/name_m]’s older brother is [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and he wants him back. But it will take the whole village to stop them.
(That wasn’t good, I’m tired.)
A [name_m]Long[/name_m] List Of Things That Make You Scream Wheeee
A [name_m]Long[/name_m] List Of Things That Make You Scream Wheeee
When they were younger, [name_u]Salem[/name_u], [name_f]Nyx[/name_f], and [name_f]October[/name_f] made a long list of things they loved/wanted to do, and titled it; “The List Of Things That Make You Scream Wheeee!”. They completed the list but due to many problems, the never got around to starting it. Now, 7 years after they created that list, they decided to start it.
It was the first summer after high school, the Greek islands were [name_f]Corinne[/name_f]’s dream destination since childhood, but now that she was finally here, she felt as if she was missing something.
Late one night at a Santorini bar, [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] stumbled into [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]. He swept her off her feet from the moment she saw him, she fell head over heels, and it was game over from there. She woke up alone the next day, with a $100 note on her bedside table and a “Sorry!” Three weeks later, the early symptoms of pregnancy began- and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] was nowhere to be found.
This wasn’t the Greek vacation [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] had planned.
When [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] left, everything crashed and burned.
Amy lashed out at them. Blaming them for the reason why [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] left. She had no remorse, anything she ever felt for them turned into burning hatred.
Alex turned cold. He didn’t speak with them, didn’t look at them, didn’t acknowledge them. He still sat with them, but he acted as if none of them exist, as if they were just a figment of his imagination.
Will left as well. Started hang out with the wrong crowds, skipping classes, doing drugs, and ending up in jail. [name_f]Every[/name_f] trace of the person he used to be was gone.
And [name_u]Cade[/name_u]? [name_u]Cade[/name_u] was left with all of the broken pieces. Trying to piece everything back to something resembling normal.

Surviving College and Everything Esle You Need To Know About It, a Guide By Yours [name_u]Truly[/name_u]
When [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_m]Adams[/name_m], the shy girl in school, was offered an anonymous podcast about going to an [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] Legue college, how could she say no? Well, she probably should of, because now someone knows that Yours [name_u]Truly[/name_u] is [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and that person turns out to be her worst enemy who has big plans for making [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] look bad.
[name_f]Alya[/name_f] wanted so bad to forget that night, to erase all traces of the incident ever happening. She tried to forget, she really did, but nothing ever worked. She would beg, cry, and sob to anyone who would listen, pleading to them to help her forget. No one could help her, and the incident always flashes in her eyes everytime she closed it.
You must be asking, what is the incident? Was it a murder? A robbery? A car crash? Something worse?
It was a murder, and also something worse. The murderer killed her family right in front of her eyes, leaving no survivors. But do you know what the worse thing is? The worse thing is that she’s the murderer.
Prince [name_m]Henrick[/name_m] and his siblings, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Charlton[/name_m], has never stepped foot outside their kingdom. They’ve always felt trapped their, longing to see the world outside of their kingdom, their only reprive is watching the stars, reading stories about them and wishing to follow them.
So when the opportunity arises to get out of the kingdom and find treasure guided by the stars, they took it with out a second thought.
Next!: [name_f]Every[/name_f] Second of [name_f]My[/name_f] Life
Every second of my life, I’m paranoid. About what, exactly, I’m not sure. Perhaps that the numbness that’s permeated my brain will remain there for the rest of my life. Perhaps more so that I’ll never again have a moment of true happiness. [name_f]My[/name_f] soul feels perpetually comatose. But perhaps not. It’s hard to say, and it’s not that tempting to know. I’m driving. I shouldn’t be moping. But then again, who cares? I don’t. I’m too tired to care. Caring is exhausting and demands energy that I haven’t had in years.

Why Is [name_f]My[/name_f] Towel [name_u]Orange[/name_u]?
April Fools is no joke in my house. Six siblings and one day of the year that any and every prank is tolerated. The time [name_m]Jack[/name_m] took all of [name_f]Nora[/name_f]’s clothes and hid them in assorted places around the house when they were 10 and 12. The time [name_u]Harry[/name_u] fixed up all of the clocks so that they played Firework by [name_f]Katy[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u] every 3 minutes when he was 16. The time [name_f]Claire[/name_f] put all my school supplies all the mailboxes along the street with post-it’s that said “These are [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]’s. Please hide them good.” She was 7, an amateur. I dyed [name_u]Camille[/name_u]’s soap neon pink. But now, we are back. And I am planning to win. I will have a plaque that says “[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] [name_u]Murphy[/name_u], 15 years old- best prankster.” Oh ho ho, is my family in trouble.
Winston had always loved snow, it’s his escape from reality. When things got bad at home he would always go outside and just lay in the snow, letting the cold make him feel numb and erase all his worries and fears. No one else he had ever met understood how he would throw all caution to the wind and lay on the snow without any regrets. One day, he met someone who understood.
Layla always knew her family was different then most. She didn’t know her biological grandparents, she was estranged from her father’s entire side of the family, and her mother always seemed to calm up when she talked about her plans for her future. After a horrible car accident which took the life of her mother, her father and her two brothers, she is given to her godparents, [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f], her father’s parents. With [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] (her identical twin cousins), she soon discovers that nothing in her grandmothers’ house is normal. And she isn’t normal either.
(I hate this lol)
Once A [name_u]Blue[/name_u] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]
All That [name_f]Silence[/name_f] [name_m]Said[/name_m]
There’s this silent person at the back of [name_f]Jade[/name_f]'s class, and by silent, I mean silent, there has not been one word from this person since the very start of the year. To add to that, no one knew anything about that person, no one knows their name or even their gender, the people dubbed them “[name_f]Silence[/name_f]”. One day, [name_f]Silence[/name_f] stopped coming to school, and a few days after the dissapearance, [name_f]Jade[/name_f] found a journal looking book in her desk, signed by [name_f]Silence[/name_f].
Kate was always the stubborn one, [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] the easy one. But now [name_u]Harry[/name_u] is dragging [name_f]Kate[/name_f] on a huge adventure to find their mother, because why not?
All of her friends knew of [name_f]Jade[/name_f]’s obsession. After all, it was pretty hard to hide. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] loved the color green. A little too much, actually. She only wore green clothes. Her house was painted green (both outside and in). She had green furniture, appliances, and knick-knacks. Literally everything she owned was green. But her friends didn’t know the truth. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] hated the color green. But that was her secret. Hers and one other persons. The person who had twisted her wish to live a green life.
Sorry, I really wanted to do [name_u]Green[/name_u] as well, so I did both.
[name_u]Green[/name_u]
“Hello, [name_f]Cara[/name_f]. Are you ready to start your test?”
[name_f]Cara[/name_f] paused. She could feel her heart beating in her chest and her blood pumping to her cheeks. They burned red.
“Yes, I’m ready.”
The blank white screen flashed into black. The same calm voice left the speaker. “Perfect. When a question is given, you will have 20 seconds to give as many answers as you can. When the appropriate amount of questions have been answered, the test will be over. Your score will be available for you shortly afterward. Try to relax. [name_f]Answer[/name_f] each question as clearly as you can.”
[name_f]Cara[/name_f]'s foot tapped the marble floor impatiently. It felt as if she were standing on the surface of the sun. Sweat ran down her forehead.
“The test will begin now.”
[name_f]Cara[/name_f] squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed. When she opened them, she was surrounded. The walls around her had shifted, and the speaker next to her disappeared. [name_f]Every[/name_f] surface around her was now a single, monotonous color. [name_f]Cara[/name_f] turned, confused, but she was encompassed in green nothingness.
“[name_f]Cara[/name_f],” the speaker blared, causing [name_f]Cara[/name_f] to jump, “what things are green?”
A million things raced through her mind. Grass. Lettuce. Avocado. Alligator. Frog. Cactus. Peas. Lime. [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]. [name_u]Leaf[/name_u]. [name_f]Clover[/name_f]. Cucumber. Yet, only one escaped her mouth:
“Pickle?”
Grounded for Life
“[name_m]Jesus[/name_m] H!”
“I know.”
“For life?”
“Yep.” [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] smiled, “Until the day I die.”
“What could you possibly have done?”
“Not much, really. A minor accident occurred.”
[name_u]James[/name_u] looked as if he was about to explode. “Be serious, [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]! You know your dad isn’t one for exaggerations.”
“You know you’re not one for underreactions, [name_u]James[/name_u].”
[name_u]James[/name_u] huffed. “[name_f]Agnes[/name_f], be real. This means Project Ashdown is canceled.”
“Not canceled. [name_m]Just[/name_m], slightly delayed.”
“Slightly delayed until your death.”
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] laughed. “[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t worry, [name_u]James[/name_u]. That won’t be long now.”
