School days, Spring 2020

Round 13: Spring 2020


Sam Cooper is 42, Grace is 37, Madelyn and Ross are 9 and James is 4.
(Jack is 37, Paige is 36, Nyah and Denise are 34.)


Narrated by Grace Cooper.

I'm still shocked about dad's new relationship. I'm happy he's found someone but getting a stepmother that's 5 years younger than me is not what I was expecting. And they're having a baby too!

The kids are a bit puzzled as well. The twins don't remember their grandma because they were so little when she died and James wasn't even born then. They keep asking all kinds of questions about grandpa's new lady friend.

I've been secretly dating this wonderful young woman called Tina for about a year now. We first met years ago when she was a bartender in the restaurant where I work but we then lost touch for years. I met her again last year and we hit it off immediately.

Wake up exhausted

Round 13: Spring 2020


Stephen Marlowe is 19.
(Zach is 16.)


Narrated by Stephen Marlowe.

There's this new girl Eve who moved in to the dorm this year. She's a Sophomore like me and she may seem like a tough chick with her all piercings but it turned out she's really nice. We play chess quite often together.

Just hold me

Round 13: Winter 2020

Dawn Whitfield is 16.

Erin Fielding is reading for her Basic Criminal Procedure exam when someone rings the door bell. For a moment she wonders if whoever is behind the door would just go away if she doesn't make a sound. But the person on the other side of the door is determined. Erin gets up and opens the door only to find her cousin Dawn Whitfield outside - cold and shivering.

Dawn starts crying the moment she steps in. Erin can only try to console her.
