A segment of Chapter 1:
Bryan escorted me back to the room and all eyes were suddenly on me again. I did what I was avoiding to do – causing a scene. Girls watched bafflement as I was dragged into the boy’s dorm, while the boy’s were moaning about me being there.
A segment of Chapter 1:
Bryan escorted me back to the room and all eyes were suddenly on me again. I did what I was avoiding to do – causing a scene. Girls watched bafflement as I was dragged into the boy’s dorm, while the boy’s were moaning about me being there.
“She has to stay here,” Bryan said. “At least for now.” Oh, Susan had planned this – I just knew it! I rolled my eyes and dropped my suitcase in the doorway again. A crowd was beginning accumulate, the hallway was soon crowded with people. I covered my face in abashment; I could feel it growing redder by the second. Several girls in the crowd muttered ‘lucky!’, but all I could think was ‘barely.’ When Bryan had informed me I was to stay there, I protested to much – begging him to allow me to stay in a dorm with girls but Bryan just shook his head, saying “I know it’s going to be inconvenient, but it’s only temporary.” Temporary my ass. He sounded like Susan.
“I refuse to let her stay here,” the ill-mannered one of the seven said.
“And I refuse to stay in a dorm with him,” I said too. The crowd started with the ‘oohs.’
“Oh, come on Nate,” Bryan said. “It’s temporary: only a couple of weeks.”
“A couple of weeks?!” Nate and I said in unison. That didn’t sound like temporary, that sounded like an abyss of anguish – hell.
“I refuse.” I pulled my phone from my pocket. “Sir, how about this – I call my parents and we move to another school.”
“Sounds heavenly,” Nate smirked.
“There will be no moving of schools,” Principal Bryan said. “It’s temporary. You’re just going to have to put up with it for now.” I rolled my eyes and Bryan dragged my suitcase into the middle of the room. The crowd behind me dispersed on cue and I was standing face to face with Nate. My mind ran back to three days ago, when Susan had so confidently assured me that Pittsburgh High was a fine establishment. I cursed in my head and took my stuff, in the middle of the room.
“But Principal Bryan-“
“No ‘buts’ – you’re here until a girl moves out and you take her place in the girl’s dorm.” I sighed and nodded.
“Yes sir.” And that was that.
“I refuse to let her stay here,” the ill-mannered one of the seven said.
“And I refuse to stay in a dorm with him,” I said too. The crowd started with the ‘oohs.’

Synopsis (it was hard to write it without revealing too much of the plot):
She wasn’t supposed to die.
Talia’s life is suddenly cut short after a car collision on the main street. Having done nothing of significant value during her time on Earth, Talia was rejected from both Heaven and Hell. Now roaming free on ‘limbo’, Talia must either commit an admirable act of reverence or an obscene act of abhorrence.
Given a second chance by Aaron, her angel friend, she must now return back to Earth so she may complete her task and enter one of the realms: Heaven, or Hell.
The choice may sound easy but believe me, it’s most certainly not.
Teaser of Chapter 1:
My hands gripped the steering wheel. Sweat beaded down my forehead and as tempted as I felt to wipe it off, I knew that it wasn’t the priority here. The car jerked and shattered, the sound becoming more and more vivid, more and more realistic. I willed myself to believe that this wasn’t happening but I knew it was true. Colors whirled before my eyes; red, blue, yellow and green: all colors known and unknown to people were flashing ahead of me. I jolted up, a pain comparable to electricity surged up my spine and I shivered. Blinking twice, I realized I was upside down; my head was resting on the car’s ceiling. Sirens hummed faintly from behind me and for an instant, hope washed over me. Desperately, I reached for my seat belt, wincing in pain as I attempted to unbuckle it. It was useless. Despair replaced the hope as the harsh reality had begun bore into my brain. I was stuck. With a dry throat and eyes stinging with tears, I fell back. My head jerked forward once more as the car tossed and turned and suddenly, the colors were gone. My vision blurred. Blackness seeped in through my eye lids. Tired and defeated, I slid down the sheepskin seats, allowing the darkness to consume me.

I didn’t notice that I had fallen asleep, but I knew I had because I’d woken up. My head was aching, my skin was paler than usual and my spine tingled with agitation. The hairs on my arm stood on end. Moaning several curse words I managed to open my eyes.
“Ah, you’ve finally awoken.” Startled, I clambered up. I wasn’t home and I wasn’t in Mom’s car driving along the interstate. My memory wasn’t as graphic as I hoped. I barely remembered what had happened. Had I been kidnapped? The woman in front of me smiled, a dimple forming on her right cheek. She looked at least twenty, if not, younger. “Glad to see you’re not dead.” She laughed to herself quietly, and other people I hadn’t noticed began to laugh too, as if it was all one big inside joke. The woman held out her hand and I grabbed it, pulling myself up. I noticed that there was a significant line of people in front of me, all standing eagerly straight line that lead to an enormous gate – some, more eager than others.
“Where am I?” I forced my voice to sound firmer than it usually did, but I failed miserably as the pitch increased. Undeterred by my question, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to find out or not. I shifted my weight from feet to feet, my eyes wandering aimlessly, absorbing the new terrain I was in. We were all standing in water, a creek perhaps, and even though we were, we were dry… well, most of us were. Withered trees grew from the creek below, sprouting high above us. There was no sun or no moon or no light source, but the place seemed lit enough that we could see each other clearly. There was an eerie darkness that blanketed the area, but at the same time, it seemed almost serene. I peered over the woman, examining the other people in line. Mostly old people, men and women both, that stood in line. Some where drenched in water, others held guns in their hands; a man just ahead has a noose loosely tied around his neck. I squinted at the woman – nothing seemed to be wrong with her. She smiled.
The rest of chapter 1 has been published and can be read here.

Story: The Huntress

Now, this is a story I'm proud of. I don't want to say much about it, but I've already written chapter 1 that can be read on my wattpad (refer to the "stories" tab on the right).
All I can say is that it's romance and paranormal, and the main girl (Maya) has to go on a mission. I'm hoping that if you dig Supernatural (which, I'm obsessed with) you'd like the story I'd written.
I'm pumped!

**New Story Concepts**
Monday, July 4, 2011
During the times I’m not writing stories, I often brainstorm and think of other story concepts: two of which are currently in the process of being edited and established.
The first one is called "Rising Star". It revolves around a girl named (something... in other words, I haven't figured it out yet!) performing in a school play. She gets scouted by a talent agent who promises to make her a star. Instead, he ends up scamming her for all her money. It's kinda like that - she eventually finds a better agency and yada-yada-yada...
The other one, which I'm not so sure about, is called "The Contract." It's an okay concept, although I'm dreading the fact that it may be awfully shallow and a plot everyone has already come across. It's about a girl named Kirsten who is often teased by her friends for remaining single. After having the final straw, she musters up her courage and pretends she has an absolutely attractive and loving boyfriend, when she does not. She ends up asking something (maybe Liam, her brother's coach) to pretend to be her boyfriend for a short amount of time, drafting up a contract with several rules, one of which is that they cannot fall in love with each other. The contract is for about two months, enough time for her to say she had a boyfriend and break up with him. They realize they're in love with each other and blah-blah-blah...
Yep, that's about it. Tell me your thoughts? I'd love to hear them!
