"Stephanie's typically quiet workplace is buzzing with excitement as two off duty police officers discuss a recent incident."
Spanky's was a fine establishment despite their measly one-star on socials. Their human resources department had more important things to worry about than employing seventeen-year-old girls. Their philosophy was that after enough time it would work itself out, just like...
"After the strange altercation, Justin gets a stern warning from Jackie's mom as she welcomes him into her home"
Jackie's mom was waiting for us inside. She glared at us as we scooted past her. The door shut."Why are you late? And who is this? And what happened to his shirt?" she asked."Mom!" Jackie whined. "Everything's fine.""No, no. Everyone...
"The three teenagers walk home late at night when they are accosted by a group of Seniors."
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" I asked.Alex jumped. "I work here. What are you doing here?""I just came to escort you home. You invited me, remember?""I... What? No, I didn't. That's not at all what I did.""Besides, it's...
"Alex finds himself in a precarious position on his first day of work at a large chain discount store."
The first thing she told me when her family moved into the house across the street was that she was trans. She marched over wearing an absurd, pink tracksuit just as I was taking out the trash. It almost sounded...
"Alex and Justin curl up on the couch to watch TV on a rainy day when Stephanie returns home unexpectedly.."
"What the hell are you guys doing?"Justin and I broke apart and sat up straight on the couch. I looked at my sister. "We, uh—we were just watching TV."Stephanie glanced suspiciously at the small, bulky television vomiting out the local...
"Justin is surrounded by the quirky store manager and the shy, new girl behind him."
The next song that came on was pretty much the same as the first, only it was cash registers this time. They were in sync with the beat. It was fitting given where we were standing. Melinda cleared her throat."Is...
"Justin visits the mall just before the first day of school to get a toothbrush."
I'd gotten my first pair of panties from Melinda the week before school started.I wasn't planning on it. I was just casually strolling through the small Bluffwatch mall with a new toothbrush in my hand when she lifted her head...
"Stephanie's after school elective is an art class where she notices only one other girl in the studio—even the teacher is absent."
It didn't look straight but every time I moved it, it got worse. I took a step back and crossed my arms."So, what do you think?"Alex looked up from his bed. There wasn't a lot of room in our tiny,...
"Justin meets a girl in his math class on the second day of school."
I sat in the back. I had nothing against math or even Mr. Jefferson and his smug grin. It was Alice who drew me to the table we shared in the far corner.At first glance, she appeared like an ordinary...
"Alex and Justin are alone in the locker room after practice."
I imagined this was what being in a big, icy cave felt like. It was the sounds mostly. Little drops of water dripped from the leaky faucets in the shower room, and the wind howled outside the door. Even the...
