She was hesitant to accept an offer from a boy she had just gotten to know, but who was she kidding? Mom wasn't going to get off work until 7:30 and it's a half hour drive from there to school. She was not staying here til 8:00. Do I really wanna ride home with this guy? I don't wanna be a burden.&q...

"I... uh..." She didn't really wanna say. It was embarrassing enough being stuck here at 6:00pm. She said it anyway. "My uh... piece of junk car died, and I have to wait 3 weeks to get it back from the shop." She blushed a bit. "I have to rely on my mom for rides until it's ...

She felt a little guilty. It was her broken reed that had caused the argument. Even if everything had wrapped up on good terms, she had let her temper slip and it made her look bad. She was almost a little glad it happened though. Gabriel had a good head on his shoulders, and she was glad to be on g...

"Oh, this little thing?" she waved the old reed around for emphasis. She stuck the chipped piece of wood in her mouth and sucked on it while she replied. "It's a reed. It helps the sax make sound. When it's broken, the sax makes... well, you already heard what happens when it has a ba...

She scowled at him. Of course she was getting worked up, it was 6 o clock at night and she was tired! What else was she supposed to do when some random guy strolls in and starts messing with her? Make daisy chains and play nice? He was right though, as much as she hated to admit it. While he was toy...

Ha fucking ha. She was dangerously close to punching him in his smug little face. If this continued on for much longer she was likely to blow. "Does this make your life mean something? Do you have nothing better to do than get off on bugging people? Get out of here lowlife. No one needs you ar...

This guy was really trying her patience. "Look buddy, if you can't read the sign, I'll read it for you. This is the Band Room . That means, that people will be -gasp- playing instruments in here! If you don't like my saxophone, then leave." She returned to her previous position. Upon exami...

She was mid breath for another "note" when some kid swung in and started yelling at her. She honestly didn't need this kind of criticism at this hour, especially from someone in dumb shades. Gabriel Munez was no particular friend of hers, but she knew him. She knew him and didn't care for ...

I think I might just die Isabel sighed as she lay in the band room floor alone. Rehearsal had ended an hour ago but her legs were still killing her. Typically she would have gone home as soon as rehearsal was over, but her car was dead and she was waiting for her mom to get off work and pick her up...

Isabel's spine was electric as Dougie emerged from behind a rack of abandoned boats. He said something but she couldn't hear. His hand gripped a bloodied iron rod. Fear shot through her. But he raised his hands in peace. "Dougie! Um..." She stammered as the boy who had given her a small in...

Isabel limped along the beach, walking with a path of recent footprints in the sand. It was quiet out, aside from the constant swishing sound of gentle waves hitting the shore. Isabel stopped following the prints, and sat herself down in the sand. Uncapping a bottle of water, she took a long drink a...

Her teammate and glowering acquaintance said nothing as the girl left with a barely audible "Bye." She was tempted to take Damion by the wrist and get on their merry way but she didn't for fear that the heavily armed girl was on her way back to take advantage of her easy access to shooting...

The loud, unfamiliar voice that seemed to come from Damion made her jump. If that wasn't enough the girl started moving towards her. Isabel's insides were trembling with fear and she shrank back away from the  equally nervous girl. The voice from what she assumed was her mentor, though not really ta...

She'd been there less than 60 seconds and already she was feeling more crowded than she needed to. Stunned, Isabel swiveled around to look the kid who had just walked in dead in the eye. The first thing to catch her attention was the tan bandana. Thank god. Upon closer inspection it was Damion. A ki...

((Contnued from Germ Infested Bed )) Isabel was careful to breathe slowly. If she started breathing quickly she would have an asthma attack, and if she had an asthma attack, she was as good as dead. "No fucking emergency inhaler in the emergency first aid kit. Real nice whoever you are. Real ni...
