Dan Howell and Phil Lester may go to the same school but they haven't actually met each other.No, it's not because one's a nerd and the other's popular, it's really because they're both loners. Sure a few people may know them, but only for their 'emo' hair, music and clothes.So why haven't they met each other? Well where as Dan gets nothing about everything in school, Phil gets every little thing, making him really smart.Dan may have the secret stash of cash from his family, but Phil has the brains in order to make his own.So what happens when the two of them end up sharing a room on a four week trip because they're the only two whoknow absolutely no one there?Nothing, because they're both just normal heterosexual guys! Right?
"I said I'm giving you two a mission.""I'm in if you're in Lily," he declared. "I'm in." "We'll tell you later. Now go to sleep. I know you want to," says the boy who can tell me to do anything and I'll do it. My fateholder. The one who will never leave me. The one who will always protect me, even die for me. And I would do the same. Pure and true love folds in on me. And at that moment I realize it. And I think he does too. And as I realize it, I fall asleep.

Elm y Roise son dos amigos que, ya cansados de la corrupción y las mentiras del mundo en el que viven, deciden anotarse en el tan convocado evento "Human Race" que se realiza todos los años en el centro del pueblo en el que crecieron. La gran cúpula herméticamente cerrada abre sus puertas tan solo una vez al año, por lo que es casi imposible que pasada esa fecha alguien más pueda entrar, o salir. Pocos son los valientes que han podido volver de aquella gran trampa humana, pero ninguno ha podido hablar de lo ocurrido allí dentro. ¿La razón de aquella misión suicida? Es simple, escapar de aquel podrido planeta. Cuentan los rumores que, la persona que pase el examen o gane el evento podría irse. No se sabe absolutamente nada de lo que ocurre allí dentro, ni siquiera los organizadores lo entienden por completo, pero el objetivo es lo suficientemente fuerte para que decenas de concursantes decidan apostar sus vidas con el fin de salir de aquel mundo en decadencia del que todos quieren escapar... hasta que entran a la cúpula de la Human Race; luego el único lugar del que desean irse, es de allí dentro.
Hope Hillburn was born to a life of servitude and never once questioned her role in society. As a lady's maid to Noelle Parrish, she had everything she wanted out of life; a secure and honorable post, a decent room to call her own, and ample time to write fantastical tales of winsome creatures while her mistress, Lady Noelle, attended the various society events offered by the ton.Lady Noelle Parrish knew that her father was anxious to see her wed but she never imagined he'd go behind her back and arrange for her to marry against her will, to a duke with a questionable reputation no less. Disheartened by the prospect of marrying a man she's never met and the possibility of foregoing a lifetime of love, Noelle makes the impulsive decision to flee England with an American gentleman she's only just met.There's only one problem...Lady Noelle's father, the Earl of Brattondale, would never permit her to marry an untitled American, nor was he willing to go back on his word to the duke. In her desperation, Lady Noelle convinces Hope to take her place after noticing an uncanny resemblance between them both.Against her own better judgment, Hope agrees to take Noelle's place when she realizes there's no other way for Noelle to flee to America without causing her family disgrace. Thrown into a life she has only ever viewed from the outside, Hope must convince everyone that she is a lady lest her farce be discovered. She is confident that she can handle society's strict rules of propriety but she soon learns that guarding her heart from falling in love with an incredibly handsome, self assured duke with a penchant for snarling isn't going to be quite as easy.
This is a story I wrote in the eleventh grade near the end of the year. I waited until 9-11 came around to post it on her in memory of that day the Earth stood still. That day over 3,000 people were killed from a terrorist attack on America. That was a day that brought America closer as a country that was supposed to be united anyway. I was in kindergarten and I can still remember being rushed home from school, sitting in my nanas living room floor watching the tv, so confused as to what was going on. As a child I was pretty smart. Even though I didn't know exactly what was happening, I knew something bad was going on in New York because I remember seeing my family cry. That was something I've never liked. At the time my uncle lived in New York, not far from where the towers were. Almost a year later, I think, I went there for his wedding. We visited the memorial site- which is nothing like it is today- and I signed a giant flag in remembrance. For a New York street, it was completely silent right there. Today I look at that day and it gives me chills, sadness. This isn't the greatest memorial in the world, its hardly anything. The topic of this assignment was America. The class was creative writing. He told us to think about America and how we saw it, what we though of when we heard 'America' and this is immediately what I thought of. xoxo♥Jordan

An inheritance from a distant relative, sends a woman on an adventure in Wales where she becomes enmeshed in story ripped from folklore.
HOW IT STARTED!!!!I leaped out of bed, frantic to determine the source of my panic. Silence. All I could hear was the soft patter of rain on my roof and the booming of distant thunder. It must be downstairs, another crash, with pounding footsteps following, from the direction of the deafening noise... they were headed for the stairs. Then feet sprinting down the hallway loud as an elephant, past one room, then a second, suddenly coming to a stop at the third. It was only then that I realized, no one else was home, the door was locked, I was only one with the key, and the third door, is mine.The door flew open, practically coming off its' hinges, lightning flashed, it made my room as bright as a summer day, but all I could see was the outline of a man, tall, broad, and soaked. Water dripping off his long trench coat with every breath he took, the only thing I could see were his eyes. The dark, green, beautiful eyes, of my father. The laughter and twinkle in his eyes long gone by now, just as long gone, as we thought he was.
"Do you love me?" She asked with her devious smile."I don't know." I answered quietly.She walked closer to me causing me to back up. When my back hit the wall, I looked away from her. Her hand lifted my chin, forcing me to look at her. "Then why do you look at me like you want more hm?" She whispered in my ear sending chills throughout my body.Seraphine is in an arranged marriage. Sure it upset her, but when she met the guy, she thought maybe she could be happy with him. At least that's what she thought before she met his sister.(Going through editing process)
