Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
"If these interesting people don't talk about sex and drugs and drinking, what kind of subject do they like? Homework? Comic book conventions? Roleplaying games?" Rod asked, finishing his beer in a few big gulps. His friends could talk all they wanted about how cool...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
Rod wasn't even listening to what his friends were saying. He was sure it was just a bunch of bullshit as usual. He moved his arms pretending to play guitar and kicked the air, though he'd never even touched many musical instruments in his life. What he liked most about...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
Rod wished his stepfather hadn't thrown his stereo out the window the week before, after a fight where he'd refused to turn down the music he was listening to. He loved music. But it was obvious that he wasn't going to get his hands on a new stereo until he'd moved out...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
As Chel choked on the smoke from her joint and practically squirmed in surprise at that sudden remark, Rod watched her with raised eyebrows and a slight smile on his lips. He wasn't the kind of guy who got nervous around girls, even if it was one he truly liked. And...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
That brief interaction with Mickey and Kitty disappeared from Rod's thoughts the second he was alone with Chel once more. He watched her chatter about the end of their school days and how shitty it was that they weren't still full adults anyway, nodding the entire time...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
As usual, Chel didn't seem to realize that Rod was hoping to turn the party into a date. Then they spotted Mickey and Kitty, who were standing a short distance away from them, and Chel made a comment about how those two would probably end up conveniently disappearing...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
Rod had never felt for anyone what he felt for Chel. He'd dated a lot of girls in those high school years, but he hardly remembered them when they weren't together, no matter how hot they were and how steamy their relationship was. Meanwhile, he spent hours of his day...
Rodrigo "Rod" Martinez
That was definitely a glorious day.
Rodrigo Martinez was ecstatic. High school had been an intense time of his life, full of conquests, friendships, parties and most of all sweat. He'd had to sweat on the football field and he'd also had to sweat to get acceptable...
Amelia Harold
Amelia kissed Sky one last time before he left. She kept a huge smile on her face while he was around, because she didn't want him to notice how depressed she was, but once he got out of the house, she stopped smiling. She sat at the kitchen table and buried her face into her...
Amelia Harold
Amelia looked at the picture and nodded. Sky had an amazing sense of fashion. When Amelia was a child, she never had anything nice to wear, and her hair was always messy. She got the brush and started doing his hair. "You are just so beautiful, Sky, do you know that?", She asked...
Amelia Harold
Amelia was upset. That morning, she was the first to wake up in her house, and she drank two glasses of wine before her husband and children also woke up. Already feeling dizzy, she cooked breakfast, pretending that nothing was wrong. Soon, Cora left the house without talking to...
Lilly Richards
It was hard not to wake up early in the Richards' house. The sun had barely rised when Lilly was awakened by the sound of her brother Geno using the blender to make one of his weird egg shakes, and then yelling something to their parents. Shortly after, she heard D'Andre taking a...
