  The Boy With the Violin

  

  By lovelycheese, Cupertino, CA

  The sky is crying. Rain comes down in blurred sheets, slamming against the pavement like thousands of marbles. The smell of wet asphalt is strong in the air, but I ignore it. Mom is late today. Again. So I’ll wait out here – catch a cold or some disease, if that’s what she wants. I’m...

  Teen Ink's Novels

  

  By lovelycheese, Cupertino, CA

  The novel tab on TeenInk.com has been available only for a couple of months, yet I feel there should be a couple of alterations to improve upon the section.

  Solitude

  

  By lovelycheese, Cupertino, CA

  I lived by myself in the forest. I woke up everyday to the twittering melody of the morning birds, the gentle whoosh of the stream trickling by my hut. Peaceful and silent, I lived in solitude. No others rushing about. Cut off from any outside communications. Only the forest creatures to accompa...

  Summertime: Chapter 1

  

  By lovelycheese, Cupertino, CA

  Summer peeled open her sleep-swollen eyelids. The emerald pendant was convulsing sharply against the base of her throat, mirroring the wild pounding of her heartbeat. Sweat beaded on her pale forehead and her vision slowly cleared the image of her tiny bedroom. Light poured in from the small...

  Summertime prologue

  

  By lovelycheese, Cupertino, CA

  “Summer.” Summer lifted her small, tapered chin to meet her mother’s soft, emerald eyes. Her mother’s thin, scarred fingers wove the strips of rich, red bark into a tightly braided necklace, a heavy ruby pendant strung at the end of it. The hard, delicately cut surface of the scarlet je...
