Real Talk


I thought I’d be sad
It’s been fun
Look out world
Here I come.

If You Really Knew Me

If you really knew me, you’d know that my favorite color is yellow and has been since I was two.

You’d know that I think worms are disgusting creatures, and that when I come across them after the rain, I have to take a long path around them to avoid their grotesqueness.

You’d know that I run. Not because I’m the fastest one out there, but because I feel that if I don’t run, I won’t be able to relieve stress, and if I don’t relieve stress, one day it will swallow me whole.

You’d know that I am still afraid of my storage room, especially at night.

You’d know that one of my biggest fears is not doing enough, because if I don’t do enough, or  if I don’t do my best, then I won’t be able to look back with no regrets.

You’d know that I love chocolate; I think it should be its own special food group

You’d know that for as long as I can remember, being a Knight was all I would ever be.

You’d know that I am indecisive about almost everything

You’d know that I could read a good Christmas book anytime of the year

You’d know that I love the snow; I love crisp, clear winter nights when the moon glistens off the flakes that powder the sidewalk, and the crunch of shoes in the hard ground.

You’d know that I have a love hate relationship with my alarm clock; I enjoy being up, but not the actual waking up part.

You’d know that I can’t watch Charlie in the Chocolate Factory because the whole thing just gives me the creeps

You’d know that I have a name, and sometimes all I want to know is that you know I exist.

You’d know that I miss summer nights, and long bike rides, and daydreams watching the clouds and the care free days of childhood

And sometimes, I still feel like a child at heart, just caged in teenage form and am not allowed to
come out.

If you really knew me, we would be friends.

Life As We Know It.

Life as we know it is run on a clock
Some how I think they managed to take away an hour of the day,
cause where did all the time go . . .

6:00 am - alarm goes off

7:00 am- Jump out of bed realizing you've over slept

7:40  am- You sit at the light waiting with all the other high school students trying to rush to school

7:44 am- You throw your car in park and fly through the parking lot, you can't get another tardy in first period

7:46 am - Your stomach growls in protest, you ran out of the house so quickly you forgot breakfast

I thought us high school students needed our sleep? I also thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Oh wait, both are true. In conclusion, school should start later.

First - Math: who cares that it is May, we still have to learn, oh by the way, you have a test on Friday it's worth 50% of your grade.

Second - English: You have the class to write a two page paper on the effects of British Poetry on American Culture, you must cite two references in your writing, ready, set, Go!

Third - Science: I don't know how many times I've learned about gravity, basically all I need to know for the rest of my life is that it is what keeps me on the ground.

Lunch - Finally! 45 minutes where you can talk to your friends.

Fourth - History: Pop Quiz time! Hope you remember everything that has happened in the last 100 years.

3:00 pm - Work. Take an order, slide a card, fold some t-shirts, answer a phone. . . I'm saving up for a car, I'm saving for a car.

6:00 pm - Dinner, your family gathers and you talk about your day. The meal was really good.

7:30 pm - Start some homework, but get distracted by Facebook, or TV, or cell phones, or that weird smell coming from your closet, Maybe it's time to clean it out.

8:30 pm - Done procrastinating, better start homework for real this time.

1:00 am - Finally finished with all your homework, now you can crash on your bed, still dressed in your clothes, but you just can't find the energy to move, your day starts all over again in 5 hours.

Life as we know it for approximately the next 20 days!
Summer is so close, I can almost taste it!

Ordinary World

The Great Escape

Elle is a 21 year old college student. Her major is business management, and her minor is accounting. She lives the average life of a college student. Going to classes everyday, spending hours studying, going to work, and on the weekends she crashes. Everything is going as it should until her final semester when she must take the one required class she has left to graduate, philosophy. Her first day of class she sits in an isle seat safe from being called on, but throughout the entire class she can feel that something just isn't right. She turns to see a man staring at her and when she looks back ten minutes later, he is still staring at her, but this time he looks away. It is then that she recognizes the face, the scar that lays over the left eye, it's him! After class she tries to escape with the crowd, but it is too late. He has found her and there may be no escaping him this time.

How will Elle escape her captor this time?
Is it too late for Elle now?
Rather than run, does she try to fight back?
