OK, so this is a short story I had to write for English class. Plaese tell me what anda think about it- I hope anda like it.
“Z, get up,” Erin whispered and shook my arm. I opened my eyes to glare at his golden-tanned face. Erin was my best friend and all; but he was so impossible that it wasn’t even stellar.
“I can’t believe you. Blue hair? That’s so last month,” I mumbled sleepily and sat up in bed.
“It’s retro- purple is so not stellar… and so is sleeping in, FYI,” Erin replied with a smug smile.
“No- sneaking into girls’ dorm rooms is so not stellar. Besides- I was thinking about neon green. Would that look, like, stellar on me, atau what?” I asked as we went down to the dorm dapur and grabbed a breakfast bar before heading to the mall to see our Flaming Red pokok friends.
“Totally stellar- you’d look like you’re from Planet Neon… and is the blue really bad? I thought it looked stellar,” Erin asked, offended sejak my earlier comment. I sighed.
“No- it’s stellar; but the purple looked way lebih stellar on anda than it did anyone else,” I assured him with a smile and stepped onto the golden moving sidewalk outside the dorm.
“Okay, hei anda talked to Lauren lately?” He asked as we synchronized our watches to the correct hair color.
“Blond, coal-black eyed, purple-faced Lauren? No, the girl’s a jerk to everyone but her- oh, hei Lauren. How are you?” I asked as Lauren stepped onto the sidewalk in front of us.
“Sorry- I don’t talk to freaks,” Lauren answered in an annoyingly sweet voice as she moved her shoulders up and down in a shrugging movement- it wasn’t a shrug though, anyone could see that.
“You know what- that’s your problem right there! You’re new, I get it- but that doesn’t mean the world revolves around anda anymore than it does me!” I exploded frantically and stepped toward her. Erin caught my arm before I could take a hayun, swing at her purple alien-like pretty face.
“I’m sorry- but I seriously don’t speak freakese,” Lauren berkata with a sarcastically sweet smile. I tired to go at her again- but Erin’s hold kept me just a few inches from her big pointy nose.
“Just because anda lived on Planet Neon since anda were two doesn’t mean you’re any better than the rest of the human population!” I yelled as I tried to find a break in Erin’s hold. “Might as well tell me your problem now!”
“It’s not a stupid human problem- it’s an annoying secret,” Lauren murmured quietly and stepped off the sidewalk into the park. I followed, pulling Erin along with me.
“Zoey stop it- she not worth anda breaking your finger. No matter how annoying she is… atau if anda break her nose- I’m not going to let anda hurt yourself like that,” Erin told me- he was trying to sooth me a little; but, as usual, it wasn’t working.
“Erin- she’s been nothing but a jerk since she came to Earth two years lalu when we were thirteen. I’m going to figure out what her problem is- whether anda like it atau not,” I replied sternly and pulled free of Erin’s grip on my arm- I knew I was going to have a mark from that- and started after Lauren. Erin grabbed my wrist and followed.
“So, what the secret? You’re not really an alien sent here from Planet Neon to rule the world, are you?” I asked sarcastically.
“Not exactly,” she answered quietly and bit her lip. I gasped in surprise- all anger gone- while Erin’s face filled with pure shock… atau maybe it was confusion? I couldn’t tell.
“What?” I whispered.
“I was answering your question. anda pick up stuff pretty fast… for some green-haired freak,” Lauren explained and rolled her eyes like I had just missed the obvious.
“I’m lost,” Erin commented. What a grand surprise- he was always Lost and/or confused.
“Explain,” I demanded and sat cross-legged on the turquoise grass. Erin joined me- but Lauren stayed standing over us.
“I was born on Planet Neon- my ancestors were the first to create live there- so, yeah, I’m a stupid alien girl. But no one knows what I am and I don’t need them to. If the government find out- they’ll send me back. The problem is- I can’t go back; I already flunked out of all the high school’s there. So either get out of my business and on with your happy lives, atau I’m going to erase your tiny human minds of the last month,” Lauren threatened sweetly and started walking away. I didn’t think- just acted as fast as I could.
“What- anda think Erin and I never wanted to be Friends with you? I think anda got that backwards- I’ve been trying to be Friends with anda since the hari anda got here,” I berkata as I grabbed Lauren’s hand- causing her to stop mid-stride.
“I always got the impression anda were jealous of me. All anda had to do was say anda wanted to be friends,” Lauren replied with a shrug.
“Yeah- ’cause stars forbid I was supposed to know that! You’re so strange sometimes- oh, and blue is so totally last month, sejak the way,” I told her as we made our way back to the golden sidewalk.
“What’s going on?” Erin asked, running to catch up.
“Zoey and I are trying to be Friends now. Are anda going to be stellar and support that; atau are anda going to be like that stupid Flaming Red Tree, Flamazoid, and stop talking to us?” Lauren answered- giving Erin two choices.
“I’m always stellar,” Erin stated and stepped onto the sidewalk beside us.
We talked and told jokes- even Lauren joked and laughed and shared stories of her adventures on Planet Neon after a while. Everything was going great and we were having the best time ever. Right then- I knew Lauren would be one of those life-long Friends old people always talk about.
P.S. I know that last line sounded cheesy- but it was the only thing I could think of.

There’s the shadow of a plane
The sound of an engine,
Flying in the rain.
Please, take me away.
Raise my hands to
Touch the sky.
Wish I could fly to the moon,
Maybe tonight.
Feet glued to the street,
I just have to
Reach.
Hey,
Hey, I just heard a plane
Fly over my place
Please, say that magic word
And take me far away?
This is just a short poem, inspired sejak Erin McCarley's song, "Bobble Head". I find working from songs a good way to cure my writer's block. It gives me a little push in the right direction. So if you're having trouble, try that :)

I don't believe you.
I really don't
After all these years
This is what anda give me?
Why did anda break up with me?
I don't understand.
anda were so close with me
And then that tech freak came by
And anda left me.
anda abandoned me.
Why did anda dump me?
Such a close friend of mine.
Laughing with me all these years
Crying with me.
Now, anda leave me.
Why?
I don't understand anything that happened.
Why can't happy things happen
In this world?
Why do things have to be so sad?
I can't accept that it happened.
Because I am still a close friend
Of yours
But I can't accept the facts.
I just can't.
I really don't
