"Mama! Can I go play with Rosa now?" Ginny blows her chubby cheeks, pulling her mother's dress. If she doesn't get permission to go, she will continue to pout the whole day.
Alyona glances at her daughter. "Dear Gin, you just came back from your school. How about we go to our boathouse, get fresh and eat something, then you can go play?"
"But, then I will be late!" she rolls her eyes and stops in front of their boat. "Mama, don't worry, I'm not hungry. And also if I get hungry, I can always eat Rosa's mother's food. Aunt cooks so good, but you always forbid me to eat those typical meals."
"Honey," her mother leans to her. "Those meals are chilly and spicy, they aren't good for your health. We're habituated in our normal American food, aren't we?"
"Spicy food aren't good for me, then I can always eat Tres Leches cake and other desserts," the little girl says stubbornly, trying to release her hand from her

Mahone didn't use to believe in love at first sight, until he first saw her. He still doesn't and lies to his subconscious, that it's not love, it's infatuation. He thinks it will be materialized as time passes, that's how he ignores the incisive pain in his chest and solaces himself."Samlin," he murmurs her name. He stands steadily on the bow of the yacht, his hands staying on the railing. Wind blows from southern side and makes his brown hair fall on his forehead, shaking his tricot. He looks up at the setting sun, wondering how Jack was feeling when he first kissed Rose, extending their hands like two pair of wings. How would Jack feel if he was alone then? How would he disregard the flashes of her face, her dress flying, just a feet away from him? It would break his heart, wouldn't it?Mahone begins to tune in softly."Everyday the sun sets on, makes the whole sky colorful,And here I am standing, imagining you,Even I can

Samlin Greenham I intertwine my hands together and inhale sharply, then glance at my parents. My mother is holding a tea cup in her hand, briefly sipping at times. My father is sitting motionlessly at the sofa, his eyes focusing at the white wall. In a few past days, he has lost weight, dark circles appeared around his eyes and he has been quiet."Okay. Um," I clear my throat. "Dad and Mom, I wanted to talk with both of you, 'cause I think__ you have answers, er, to some questions. You have been calm since the day you_ got out from the prison. I think you need to talk with us, Dad. You know, share things of whatever is going on," I look at my mother, she nods at approval."I didn't get out, Sam. I broke out," he says, glancing at me. "I'm not of afraid of any police. Because it's just a matter of time before Malum and Reggae target me again.""Because you have the video of a murder, which could reveal their true faces, don't you?"

Sam takes a seat on sofa, then heaves a sigh. It looks like it's her first time in their house, he thinks. Truly, in his whole nineteen-years-old life, he never felt this kind of awkwardness in front of a girl before. Girls were easy and eager for him, eager to get in touch with him, because he had his charming looks and behavior to impress them. But this girl sitting front of him, somewhat makes him__ he can't detect it, an unknown feeling."Mahone, can you wake your brother up?" she looks up after a while. "It's important, I need to talk with him.""Um, okay. He's just taking a nap," he nods slightly, thinking of saying something else to her, but changes his mind."I'm already up," Lynn says from the staircases, coming down. His face looks a little swollen from sleeping, his hair is messy as usual. He quickly paces to her, "What's wrong, Sam? Are you okay?" he sits beside her on the sofa and kisses her cheek.She doesn't say anythin

Samlin GreenhamAfter eating lunch, I lie on the bed and steadily place my head on his chest. He tucks me in by his arms and I close my eyes. When he first confessed to me four years ago, we didn't rush things like kissing or having physical relationship. At midnight, he used to come in my bedroom and lie beside me. Just like now, I used to lie my head on his chest and inhaled his scent deeply and he would softly kiss me goodnight. We knew and realised that our relationship wasn't simple, it was real and intense."Who is Lake?" I ask him a minute later, wrapping my hand around his waist."She was our neighbor, when we were at, you know, Edgemont," he replied. "I always thought she had a crush on my brother, but didn't truly express it once. But now, they are like friends.""Oh," I say. "She seems like a nice girl.""She is. Just a little talkative." Lynn starts to brush my hair idly with his fingers. I

"There's no flight available within three hours. I already checked," he replies, gripping the steering wheel more tightly."Of course, you did.""Can you call Sam to ask where she is now? Tell her not to do anything__ stupid.""She will never do anything stupid, you know that and you're not helping her by telling this, okay?

San Joaquin Community Hospital, SFSamlin GreenhamI wake up from the strange dream. Though I can't remember the dream and I don't feel or see any urge to remember it. My eyes move around the room, the smell of antiseptic hitting my nose. Almost everything around me is white, white bed cover over me, the curtains of the windows are white, the shirt I'm wearing right now is white.So, I am in a hospital, the place I hate most. I slowly lift my head up, it's pounding like someone is squeezing it forcefully. I remove the oxygen mask from my face and push it to the ventilator machine. I inhale deeply, but it's feeling like there's lack of air in the room."You are awake?" Emilia and Lucas shout in unison, stepping in the room. She sits beside me on the bed and hugs me tightly, laughing. "Oh God, Sam! Did you have to scare us like that?""I scared you?" I smile slightly. "Tell me what I did."

Give me two glass of Margarita. See, this girl with me? S-she will drink with me, t-too!" Lynn thanks his friend Ray in mind for tracking her phone, otherwise he wouldn't find her in this bar. These kinds of bars are obviously dangerous for lonely girls, more she's drunk now. He sighs and pays the bill with his credit card, thinking that no wonder she used a fake ID card to order drinks. "C'mon, you have drunk enough. Time to go home," he takes her purse and puts her arm around her, watching her steps. They

"Want more?" he laughed, teasing him."You're disgusting!" Lynn threw the paper at him, shaking himself.
