Zoey had just finished watching one movie out of a stack of movies at Rebecca’s place with Zabrina. Rebecca was joining them at school on Friday, just to start out again, and had been studying with Lynda a bit as well. They were socializing with her in order to make her feel a bit less jumpy, and Ferris was skulking … Read More
Chapter Eight
When she got into Doug’s truck on Monday, she was surprised to see Ferris was not with him, and inquired to where he was. “Oh, he wanted to be picked up second for some reason, saying he had to finish a project really quick but…” Doug trailed off, as if he didn’t believe Ferris but couldn’t quite call him out … Read More
Chapter Seven
There was a pause of course, as there is when anyone who has given up hope hears what they never thought they would. “What?” Ferris asked softly, as if he hadn’t heard right before. “I saw her, she was on a floor below me, and it was from far away, but I saw her, she looked at me. I didn’t … Read More
Chapter Six
The first thing Zoey was aware of when she woke up was the fact that she was sitting up and hunched over. Stiffly trying to stretch out her limbs, she found resistance, and opened her eyes, remembering she had passed out earlier, suddenly on edge. She had been moved, she could tell, but she didn’t recognize the room she was … Read More
Extra Blurb(s) episode one
Okay, so I really like writing extra little blurbs of writing that take place either away from the main timeline of the story or before the main timeline of the story. I figured I would start posting some of them here, and some will be longer than others. Here are a couple to get you started 🙂 (In this, Ferris … Read More
Chapter Five
On the night of the dance, Zoey and Ferris got a ride with Zabrina and Ted to the school. Ferris had actually dressed up slightly for the occasion in dark wash jeans and a button up shirt which may or may not have belonged to Doug. The girls did most of the chatting on the way over, but Zoey didn’t … Read More
Chapter Four
The next school day flew by with something to look forward to, especially with Zabrina involved. At lunch time, however, Zabrina did have a few questions for her, that Zoey should have seen coming. Zabrina, ever the mom-friend, cornered her before they met with their other friends in the cafeteria. She gave her a bright smile, and Zoey returned it … Read More
Chapter Three
The ‘basement’ that Ferris had suggested, resembled more of a cave, but with some lighting installed, not making it any less intimidating. It was mostly clear and level, spanning about half the size of the actual house. There were some large boulders scattered around the room, most with moss and small plants growing from them. Oscar had decided to follow … Read More
Chapter Two
When Zoey came to, she felt a cold cloth being applied to her face and neck, and the chattering of Melanie right beside her. She realized she was sprawled out on the couch, and confusion made what had just happened seem like a dream, if only for a moment. She bolted up, and the dizziness hit her again like a … Read More
Chapter One – All This Rain for Teen Angst
Grey clouds began to swirl outside the classroom window, or at least, that’s how it seemed, mostly because Zoey felt like the world was completely against her today. The teacher was talking about something historical, probably related to dysentery, but Zoey was taking a moment to wallow in her own personal sorrow. Today, she had dared to ask freaking Tim … Read More
