Alright, I came up with a short story (one page long) right before our math exams in December. It's in third person, because as I told you I don't really like writing in first person. It's really only titled EXAMS, and Meloni is me. It's kinda a stupid name but only because I wrote it in maybe five or ten minutes. ;D Here you go:
Exams
Tapping her pencil eagerly, Meloni sat shivering in her chair. The nerves rolled off her in waves and she twirled her hair throughout her fingers.
When Mrs. Baker began to pass out the thick packets, her nerves began to cede. Landing with a heavy THUMP on the desk was the item she had been dreading for two months. MATH it read, in bold and underlined letters. "Could they make it anymore obvious?" she mumbled to her shoes clicking together under the black table.
"Begin." The principal crackled into the over head speaker.
Flipping her test over and diving head first into algebra hadn't been as hard as Meloni had thought it would be. The problems were a whole grade-level easier than the long order of operations given to her at home by her Dad.
Getting the results back was fun-filled and easy going Getting a 92% was much better than Meloni expected herself to get, but the speaker crackled to life once more, "Next up, Social Studies!"
Alright that's it, and it was only one page long, so it wasn't all that impressive. Not as much detail as I usually would like to get into a story I've written, but oh well. Written in five minutes!! ;D Next up is only an idea I came up with about three days ago in Market Street. . . . I'm gonna call it To Whom it May Concern, kinda like the song by The Civil Wars.
To Whom it May Concern
Nathalia (Referred to as Thalie) and her sisters Charrollette (Char) and Maddox get in a car accident. Her youngest sister, Maddox, age six, passes away even before they can reach a hospital. Thalie and Char's mother goes bonkers and cannot handle it whatsoever. She ups her family and moves them across the country to Oregon in an already furnished home. (She left all of their belongings in New Jersey, where they had lived)
Thalie finds a desk in her room with a few belongings of the family that lived in the house before them. She realizes a girl her age had lived before her in the house, and finds an envelope in chicken scratch handwriting labeled: "To Whom it May Concern". Pulling it open, all inside of it is a key. She checks all the doors in the house and finds that the key doesn't fit into any of the key holes. She gives up and tosses the key back onto the desk. Though, not long after she finds a bookcase with many classics and a worn leather book resting on its top shelf. She picks up the leather book and realizes there is a key hole in the side and the book is labeled: "To Whom it May Concern". The key fits, and finds its a diary written by a girl named Keller, who's sister was murdered but her case was never solved. Thalie and Char go on an adventure to unravel the mystery behind Keller's sister's murder.
There you have it! PLease give me suggestions for Keller's sister's name, because I have no idea what it should be XD

I like Dannie.... Keller and Dannie. Dannie and Keller. I like it cuz they're both somewhat both tomboyish names, and Keller is supposed to be like: I can hurt you so don't cross me XD She's gonna be somewhat featured in the story, but she's gonna have to be like eighteen because it's supposed to be four years after the murder happened.... Yay!! XD
