I like games.
I started playing my games because of people like Jenna. Middle school was cruel, full of disgusting, stinking children. Hardly a place for the likes of me, but nobody ever did a thing about it.
The thing that set me off at first was her hair; it was long and shiny and blonde. Every time somebody spoke to her, she tossed it over her shoulder, rivers of gold streaming down her back. Practically taunting me and my scissors. After a few weeks o...
I recall how she cried when I chopped it all off with messy, rough snips. I remember her straw-hair wound tightly around her neck; I didn’t need any rope. Tipping over the chair and putting a match to the boyish mess that was the rest of her hair.....
Want to play a game with me? There are only a few rules. First, you must play along. Second, don’t try to escape. Oh, and third, I always win.

I can’t breathe! He panicked. He knew he shouldn’t, but he couldn’t help it. The walls were closing in.
Help! The words wouldn’t come. The water filled his lungs, left him hyperventilating, but with each breath more water entered. He choked and convulsed in the water.
Stop! No! His fingers closed around his own throat as he struggled in the water. His eyes bulged and his legs jerked around.
His instinct made him go for one last breath. hello. The water greeted him.
Then he died.

“Air-ee-el!” Sofia calls.
“Yeah?” I say coming out of the bathroom.
“Your man is waiting.” She laughs.
“That means so is yours.” I say sticking my tongue out at her.
She rolls her eyes and opens our dorm door. “After you.” We both walk out laughing, our arms linked at the elbows. The boys roll their eyes at us and we both just smile.
“Ready?” They ask.
“Yep.” Sofia answers and I nod. I walk up to Tristan and wrap my arms arond him.
“I missed you.” He says as he kisses my lips.
“I missed you too.” I answer, smiling up at him.
“Come on you two lovebirds!” Sofia calls.
“You hush!” I yell at her. She laughs and her and Eaden start off towards our morning class. “We should go.”
“You’re always sayin’ that!” Tristan groans.
“That’s ‘cause if I left it up to you, we’d never part and we’d get nothing done!” I laugh, wraping my arm around his waist as I start after Sofia and Eaden.
“I’m sorry I love you!” He teases.
“I’m sorry I love you too.” I say, kissing his cheek.

The penguin ran to the shore and dove into the water. Grabbing me by the fin, he swam me to the shore and plopped me down onto the ground. I couldn’t breathe. He listened to my chest and I blacked out. I awoke to his beak touching mine. I felt wooz...
I woke for the second time in an igloo, but not mine. Then I saw him in the kitchen. I spoke out.“Hello.” He spun around and exhaled in relief.“Oh, you’re alive!” “Yeah I am, but who are you?” “I can’t tell you.” “Why?” “Bec...
