I went into the bathroom, And jumped into the tub. I filled it up with hot water, Then added my rubber sub. To make it kind of interesting, I added bubbly soap. I imagined the bubbles were icebergs, At least that’s what I hoped. When all was set with my winter world, I took my sub to play. I traveled under the ice, As if an Arctic day. Suddenly my sub encountered, A burst of natural gas. I giggled and also held my nose, F...

"I don't know, but I bet you will hear about it from Sarah. She must be humiliated by now. I hope she was in the room when the glitter fell. That will be a nice mess to clean up." Naomi said. The girls watched a movie and went to...

Marcia spent the rest of the day looking at her plight. Bullyboy knew she was there. He had not made any threats, but the gestures were bad enough. He ruined her day. School dragged on and Marcia's depression deepened. By the end of the day, she had no will to leave the classroom. Naomi dragged her to her locker and pulled her outside to walk home.

Chapter Ten: Kelly’s Mansion Tour Ethan peeked his head around the corner and saw that the hall was empty. The neon lights in it were dim looked like the path could either end in two steps or go on for hours.

Picario told Ethan that a portal will automatically manifest itself in front of him when it was time for him to enter the game. “How do I know when the portal will come though?” Ethan asked Picario. “You will get a note that you can’t miss five minutes before the game starts as a notice,”...
Summer arrived with high heat and humidity. Being near the Hudson River did not help with the humidity. To escape the heat most families had places on the Jersey shore where the family stayed all summer. Neither Marcia nor Naomi's family had a place like that. The girls endured the summer heat together. Almost daily, they went into the woods. The trees provided a canopy, which shadowed the whole area underneath. It was co...

The classes all sat waiting for the third bell, which signaled the start of the school day. The school went quiet, while it waited for the morning announcements. Before the announcements began, a loud scream echoed through the halls into every room. Soon the putrid smell of a skunk penetrated the air in every classroom. Naomi looked at Marcia and they both smiled trying to contain outright laughter. Of course, they missed...
