OK, so this is a short story I had to write for English class. Plaese tell me what Ты think about it- I hope Ты 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, или what?” I asked as we went down to the dorm кухня and grabbed a breakfast bar before heading to the mall to see our Flaming Red дерево 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 by my earlier comment. I sighed.
“No- it’s stellar; but the purple looked way еще stellar on Ты than it did anyone else,” I assured him with a smile and stepped onto the golden moving sidewalk outside the dorm.
“Okay, Эй, Ты 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, Эй, 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 Ты anymore than it does me!” I exploded frantically and stepped toward her. Erin caught my arm before I could take a свинг, качели at her purple alien-like pretty face.
“I’m sorry- but I seriously don’t speak freakese,” Lauren сказал(-а) 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 Ты lived on Planet Neon since Ты 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 Ты breaking your finger. No matter how annoying she is… или if Ты break her nose- I’m not going to let Ты 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 назад when we were thirteen. I’m going to figure out what her problem is- whether Ты like it или 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… или maybe it was confusion? I couldn’t tell.
“What?” I whispered.
“I was answering your question. Ты 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 Остаться в живых 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, или 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- Ты think Erin and I never wanted to be Друзья with you? I think Ты got that backwards- I’ve been trying to be Друзья with Ты since the день Ты got here,” I сказал(-а) as I grabbed Lauren’s hand- causing her to stop mid-stride.
“I always got the impression Ты were jealous of me. All Ты had to do was say Ты 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, by 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 Друзья now. Are Ты going to be stellar and support that; или are Ты 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 Друзья 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 by 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 Ты give me?
Why did Ты break up with me?
I don't understand.
Ты were so close with me
And then that tech freak came by
And Ты left me.
Ты abandoned me.
Why did Ты dump me?
Such a close friend of mine.
Laughing with me all these years
Crying with me.
Now, Ты 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
