You're going to be 15 in December? So you have to be one of the oldest in you year, right?

[Selene]

No, there was this boy in my grade who was 16. Going to high school after summer vacation.

[Sapir]

OK, that's weird.
So you're one month younger than me!!
I have a friend in my year that is going to be 16 in December. She's pretty much the oldest I know in my year.

[Selene]

Ha. But yeah.

[Nadine]

Hi Anita! If you like Twilight, (or even if you don't like Twilight) the Hunger Games and the Caster Chronicles, but feel the paranormal theme has been overdone, my first novel might be a refreshing change for you! See what other have to say about my "unique spin" on YA paranormal romance.

[Ashley]

Hello my name is Ashley (I'm a guy) and I like teen fiction and I also write fiction a lot now. I like Harry Potter and I like White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick.

[Rachel]

Hey! I <3 HP 2!! :D

[Ashley]

he he, what teenager doesnt (I'm guessing you're a teen)

[Rachel]

U know it!! LOL

[Ashley]

I see you like Matched I guess thats a girls thing because me as a guy I couldnt get into it, and I'm even embarrassed to say I actually tried to read it. What I didnt understand was what if someone dies before they are eighty how is that fair

[Sapir]

Hi Anita, Ashley, Jessica and Veronica!! I'm glad you joined us (:(:

[Ashley]

Thanks I'm glad I joined

[Rachel]

They don't, their environment is so controlled by the society that they don't die before 80. I think Matched is a girls thing though. Don't feel bad for trying it though. I know of at least 4 guys who did try it. None of them liked it either. :)

It's not only because you're a guy... I didn't like Matched either. It was all too sappy and borrring.

[Rachel]

What!? It wasn't sappy or boring! You must have put it down too soon! The book didn't pick up until at least halfway through.

[Selene]

Hi Ashley, Veronica, Jessica. Glad you joined.

[Ashley]

I read 100 pages at least if I remember I liked the premise but it was just too boring.

[Rachel]

Ohh, well not every book is for everybody.

[Sapir]

I've read it until the very last page, Elle!! It just wasn't for my taste...

[Selene]

That is so true.

[Selene]

Not everybody likes sappy books. I kinda don`t.

[Rachel]

Oh, sorry!

[Sapir]

Selene wrote: "Not everybody likes sappy books. I kinda don`t."

Me neither.

[Selene]

They just seems like they are always kinda boring and kinda depressing a little at the same time.

[Ashley]

Selene wrote: "They just seems like they are always kinda boring and kinda depressing a little at the same time."

Lol it was quite depressing I really did want to like it I just didnt

[Selene]

It`s true. They do seem like that.

[Rachel]

sometimes they can be upbeat and cheesy.

[Selene]

Oh. Well the ones i have read have always been sad and depressing.

[Ashley]

Can someone read an excerpt of a fiction story I am writing?

[Rachel]

Oh well the books Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door are chessy and upbeat.

[Sapir]

Sure Ashley!!

[Selene]

Yeah sure, i will read it.

[Ashley]

Here it is unedited so far:

I felt an emptiness in the pit of my stomach as the car drew close to the new house. It was painted white, dull. I caught a glimpse of my mother’s face off of the car mirror- she was smiling to herself.

I pushed the car door open, crunching onto the gravel and standing aside as the removal van screeched to a halt behind the car. It was just me, mum and belongings. A whole summer ahead and I had no friends, a new town with new people. Welcome to Sommerville. More like dead ville.

The house was at the bottom of a dirt track leading into town. Great. Just a house and no one around for miles around. A few houses were dotted on the horizon, nothing else.

The house looked alright at least, a bit spooky but I’d seen worse. The paint was peeling in places but it was a home none the less.

One of the removal men got out of the van and helped with our boxes. I was careful to not break anything when I almost jumped out of my skin, I heard the breaking of plates before I even realised what happened. Right outside our house was a girl I hadn’t seen before. She smiled and waved slightly and I almost felt embarrassed. The only girl in miles and I had already messed up in front of her.

I tried to keep the shock out of my face as she helped me pick up the broken porcelain pieces.
“Hey.” I said, fixing my hair into place awkwardly. My hair was messy at the best of times but now it was just plain playing up.

She giggled, picking up a piece of broken porcelain and wiping some dust off of it.

“What’s with scaring me like that?”

She looked down embarrassed and shrugged brushing her hair out of her face. I felt a bit guilty interrogating her like this, she was helping me after all after I’d acted alike an idiot.

Once all of the plate had been gathered up, I brought the remaining boxes into the house. She was waiting outside sitting on a bench outside. I came out sitting down beside her, she was looking into the distance up the dirt tracki.

“You didn’t say what your name was.” I said breaking her out of her trance.

[Selene]

That is a good start. I like it. Are you a writer? Do you want to be one?

[Rachel]

Nice! good start you should really continue. You could use some editing like spelling, but you really have something here. Ur not from the US are you? Just saying that because you say mum instead of mom.

[Sapir]

NICE!!! You write beautifully, Ashley. How old are you?

[Ashley]

Yes I am a writer. And I have a self published book on amazon.

[Ashley]

Thanks by the way @Selene

[Sapir]

Oh, really? Which book?

[Selene]

Cool and you are welcome.

Here it is. I dont think it will be as good as the new one but it is my first try at fiction.
