Nothing much...

Oh dear! What happened? We've been missing in action for nearly a week! So sorry, dear followers, so sorry.

Anyways, since I don't really know what to post, here are some pictures for you to enjoy and a story idea I've been working on...

My Story

Written by Joely

The girl sat alone, staring into space. It was as if there were no one else in the room with her; she was in her own little world, a place no one but her could enter. Her long, blond hair enclosed most of her face; she hid behind it as if she were afraid someone might see her. Her brown eyes were sad, but hopeful. It seemed as if she were waiting for something to happen, something extraordinary. If only I knew what.

She sat at the window in the far corner, and the rain pored down, unceasingly. The crash of thunder and the flash of lightning in the distance did not startle her in the least. No one seemed to notice her – or the rain. They were all too engrossed with Hadie as she opened each of her birthday presents. She was turning thirteen after all.

I, as her best friend, was here as well, observing mostly. I had turned thirteen earlier in the year, and Hadie and I both were super excited now that we were full-on teenagers. For her birthday bash, she had invited several girls from school that we both knew well. We had hung out all afternoon, playing games and gossiping. Then, we had a light dinner of cheese pizza and lemonade, and had chocolate cake for desert.

Everything was perfect. But then, there was that girl. She had come out of nowhere, very quietly, and had not joined us in anything. She had not spoken a word, nor had Hadie acknowledged her guest’s presence. At least, I assumed she was here for the party...

What do you think so far? Does it make you want to read more?
