In high school, my friends were basically poster girls for good students. They were polite, intelligent, and never stepped a toe out of line when it came to following school rules. I thought I had chosen well. I am a very responsible person, so I like having friends who are similarly responsible. However, it seems …
And they say money doesn’t buy happiness. I can wholeheartedly tell you that that’s not true. I have plenty of money and I am extremely happy. If I didn’t have money, I wouldn’t be able to do all the things that I love. Like spending time at my holiday house and spending time discussing future …
Cole drove the ute through the hills, seeming to have some destination in mind. Wherever it was, though, he absolutely refused to tell Rylee. It was starting to drive her a little bit crazy. “Come on, dude, just tell me where we are going.” He smirked. “I already told you, it’s a surprise.” “But you …
Noah tended to surround himself with intelligent people. That was how you got things done, after all – brawn could only get someone so far. Yet two months ago, Noah’s group had been given a problem they couldn’t solve. Noah and his stand-in-leader Lucas had spent hours theorising how to keep their rivals out of …

As an internationally-ranked tennis player, my schedule is often completely full. To an outsider, it would probably seem excessive. They’d quickly grow exhausted and sullen, looking ahead at all the seemingly impossible tasks. To me, conquering the impossible is just a normal day. It all starts at three in the morning when I begin my …
I’m looking for the phone number of a person who designs wallpapers. I have really quirky taste and I don’t want wallpaper that is plain or boring. Any wallpaper that is all the one colour or even worse, just a shade of white, black or grey makes me want to vomit. I would hate to …
Melissa slowly twirled the bathwater with her finger, watching the bubbles swirl around. She knew that the water was getting cold and she had to get out soon, but she wasn’t ready. She could still feel the day’s stress clinging to her skin like a needy child. ‘Muuuuum!’ came a cry from downstairs. Speak of …
