Tim

Tim walks out of the office with his things. He had just gotten fired and was trying to figure out how he was going to tell his wife. This was the job she helped him get. Janeth went through so much trying to get him that job. Tim was worthless without her help. She was going to be so disappointed in him. Tim’s phone vibrates and it is Janeth, she asks him how work is going. Tim doesn’t know if he should lie to her or tell her the truth. He hesitates in pressing send, Tim doesn’t know if this was going to be the right thing to do. He finally manages to send the message with the lie telling his wife he was doing great at work. Janeth was supposed to leave this morning for a meeting that was out of town so Tim had plenty of time to figure out how he was going to tell her when she got back. Tim’s phone vibrates again and this time his wife tells him she will be visiting him at work today because her meeting got cancelled. He drops the phone.

“What the fuck,” mumbled Tim under his breath. Tim was losing his mind. He had no idea what he was going to do. Tim reaches down to pick up his phone and puts it back into his pocket. There was no way he would be able to get away with this; he had to think of a new plan as soon as possible.

Tim goes home to drop of his things and his phone keeps vibrating. It was his wife calling. Tim doesn’t know if he should answer or if he should ignore the call. He lets it ring and walks away. All of a sudden the house phone rings. Tim checks to see who it is, and it is his wife. He is terrified now and decides to answer.

“Hello,” answers Tim calmly.

“Tim what the fuck, I went to your office and Jake tells me he fired you earlier,” yelled Janeth.

“Yes, I didn’t want to tell you because I was ashamed,” said Tim.

“So you would rather lie…” said Janeth.

“I didn’t know how to tell you, I am such a fuck up,” said Tim.

“You aren’t a fuck up, Jake never liked you because I chose you instead of him, but you just fucked up,” said Janeth and hung up.

Tim was in trouble, he should have never lied to her. He tried calling her but it went straight to voicemail. He sent her a text telling her how sorry he was but she still didn’t bother to reply or call him back. Tim knew exactly where she was and it made him angry. He drives down to his old job and goes straight to Jakes office. Just as Tim thought Janeth was in there with him. Tim opens the door and walks in and sits down beside Janeth. Jake tells him to leave.

“If I leave she has to come with me,” says Tim.

“I don’t want to go anywhere with you Tim, you lied to me,” says Janeth.

Jake starts laughing.

“I don’t see how this is funny,” said Tim.

Jake doesn’t say anything.

“Oh I see, you did this on purpose. You fired me because you knew I wouldn’t handle it well and lie to her and then she would be mad,” says Tim.

“Is this true,” asked Janeth.

Jake nods his head.

“Wow you are pathetic, I didn’t want you then I sure as hell don’t want you now,” says Janeth as she walks out the door with Tim.

George

George wasn’t feeling it today at practice, he felt like he was already the best on the team and he didn’t have to worry about practicing much more.

“Coach is it okay if I just sit out this practice… or maybe until the competition on the weekend,” asked George. The coach looked at him with disbelief.

“Are you serious right now George,” asked the coach.

“Yes, I feel like I have worked hard enough and deserve a break,” said George.

“But practice makes perfect, and you aren’t there yet.”

“I have made two records already how much better do you want me to get,” yelled George.

“It isn’t about records George, there is always going to be someone out there can meet up to your potential so you need to keep practicing,” yelled the coach.

George walked away, he was tired of listening to his coach. George was going to stay and practice but he wasn’t going to put 100% effort in anything. George ran around the track. His feet soared with little effort. The coach was on the phone so George could care less if he was doing good or not. When George finishes his fourth lap he notices that the coach wasn’t there anymore.

“Well if he isn’t going to be here neither will I,” said George as he walks out of the track. He walks around the parking lot waiting for his mom to pick him up when he sees his coach pull up. The coach puts his car in park, his door and the backseat door open at the same time. Who could be getting out of there everyone else were already on the track.

“Come and meet your new teammate George,” said the coach.

George walks to the other side of the car and it is William Johnson. William was the best runner from our competition.

“What is he doing here, isn’t he our competition,” asked George.

“I am good friends with his father and we figured something out for him to be on our team,” said the coach.

“Hi, I can’t wait for this weekend,” said William.

“Yeah, me either,” said George.

William and the coach walk down to the field together joking around as if they are the best of friends. George follows them down there to be nosey. George sends his mother a text asking her to come pick him up later. When they finally get down to the track he sits on the bleachers and watches William practice. William was way better than George thought. He felt bad for yelling at his coach because now he wouldn’t win the competition. George gets up from the bleachers and tells his coach he was going to warm up.

“I am sorry George but William will be taking your place there is no need for y0u to warm up,” said the coach.

“What about the competition, that was my spot to compete in,” said George.

“Well you wanted to rest and I will not have bums on my team, sorry isn’t that what you wanted,” said the coach with a smirk on his face.

George couldn’t believe this was happening. His coach didn’t have to take it this far. George walks to the parking lot with his dreams crushed. 

cafe

Jasmine was patiently waiting at Starbucks for her boyfriend Carl. He told her to meet him there an hour ago; she wondered why he wasn’t there yet. Jasmine gets her phone out of her purse so she can call him. Carl answers and tells her he is running late but that he will be there soon and then hangs up.

“That’s strange, how come he didn’t even let me speak,” said Jasmine to herself. She finds a way to distract herself while she waits; she gets on snapchat and watches everyone’s story. When she watches Carl’s story she notices that Victoria is in it. At this point she is furious because Carl told her that he wasn’t talking to her anymore. Victoria has been the main topic of their arguments. Jasmine puts her phone down and attempts to calm down, when she finally does Carl and Victoria walk in the café together holding hands. Was Jasmine imagining this? Carl and Victoria sit in the seats in front of Jasmine. Jasmine looks at both of them and starts laughing.

“Are you kidding me,” asked Jasmine.

“No,” said Victoria.

“I have been waiting for the right time to tell you,” said Carl.

“Oh so you choose the day before our three year anniversary,” asked Jasmine.

“I know it isn’t what you want, but it is what I want,” said Carl.

“You are so pathetic Carl, I gave you everything for you to just let me go for that piece of trash,” said Jasmine.

“I will not sit here and let you insult me,” said Victoria.

“I don’t care you are irrelevant,” said Jasmine.

“Don’t talk to her like that Jasmine,” said Carl.

“I don’t care about her right now; we have been together for three years and she comes out of nowhere and is all of a sudden better than me, what kind of shit is that,” yelled Jasmine. People in the café start to look at her. Jasmine didn’t care right now she was furious.

“Does she even know about the baby,” asked Jasmine.

“Shut up Jasmine,” said Carl.

“What baby,” asked Victoria.

“I am two months pregnant with his child and he wants me to get rid of it, oh and it’s probably so he can be with you,” said Jasmine. Victoria looked at Carl before she got up and left. Carl tried to chase her down but she managed to escape.

“What did you do Jasmine, you messed this up for me,” said Carl.

“Messed it up for you, you just ruined my life, I wasted three years of my life for nothing, I put so much effort into this relationship for nothing, and now I am pregnant with your child but I want you to have no part in my baby’s life,” said Jasmine with tears in her eyes.

“I will never stop caring about you Jasmine,” said Carl.

“I don’t need your pity now Carl, I will be fine without you, maybe even better, I wish you the best with Victoria but don’t ever try to get in contact with me,” said Jasmine.

She took off her promise ring he gave her and set it on the table.

“I hope you remember that I gave you everything when you had nothing, I was here for you when you had no one. I really hope Victoria makes you happy,” said Jasmine as she walked out of the café.

Monster

Kassandra was a new kid at her school. Nobody wanted to talk to her because she didn’t look like the rest of the children

“Hey look the freak is back,” said one of the kids in the hallway. Kids started laughing and pointed their fingers at her. Kassandra put her head down and attempted to zone out so she wouldn’t have to hear them making fun of her. She knew her mother should have let her stay being home schooled. When she got to her locker there was a drawing of her, she started crying because they drew her so well. People hated her there and she felt like a complete oddball.

Kassandra ran to the bathroom to wipe away her tears, she didn’t want anyone to see that they could get to her. She needed to prove to them that no matter what they say or do to her she would stay strong. Kassandra looked in the mirror and stared at herself with disgust.

“I am hideous,” said Kassandra. She kept noticing all of her flaws and it made it hate herself even more because the flaws were never ending. She had an enormous head, with untamable hair. Kassandra’s small body made her look even odder. Her eyes were huge they would usually freak everyone out. Her whiskers weren’t something anybody that was normal had. The worst part of all was that she had demon features. Her horn and a tail would call her a devil but in reality she was a sweetheart. Last but not least she had four arms with sharp claws. The claws were so sharp if she accidently scratch something it would rip apart completely. She had to be careful every time she was near people or else she would cut them. Kassandra walks out of the bathroom and all of a sudden a group of kids come out of nowhere and start taking pictures of her.

“Oh my god she is so ugly,” said a random kid.

“Yeah why is she even alive, she doesn’t belong here,” said another kid while laughing. Every kid agreed with that kid and started throwing books at Kassandra.

“Get out of her freak, we don’t want you here,” yelled everyone.

“But I haven’t done anything wrong,” said Kassandra as she ran away. Kassandra was tired of coming to school every day just to get tortured when she hasn’t done anything wrong. No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t get over the fact that they treat her horribly for no reason. Kassandra just didn’t know how to handle it anymore. She ends up walking far from school. Everyone just keeps staring at her. She puts her head down and avoids any eye contact. Kassandra continues to walk until she reaches the perfect spot. She was now standing in front of a bridge. She kept asking herself if she should jump. It's not like anyone would care thought Kassandra. She looks around and notices everyone is still staring at her with disgust. That is her sign, Kassandra smiles and jumps off the bridge.
