250 words isn't a lot, you know. Eh, whatever, may as well give it a shot. Final word count of my thing is 224 words.

-----

Another silent day. The boy took a breath as he laid back, the sky still shining lightly, the light barely concealed by the blossoming branches of the tree.

His eyes closed as he took a breath, arms behind his head and letting the sunlit shapes dance across his eyelids. A silent breeze followed, his hair tossed to the side by the feeling of the wind.

It only took another moment for his mind to fade, already drifting from the slight motions. His body rolled slightly, pressing onto the grass as his breath flickered from his body. The cool blades of the hill brushed against his face, a slight chill making him shake. Still, his mind drifted, at ease and calm, the feelings around him barely making him react.

A mild chirp forced him awake, and the flapping of a couple of wings shook his sight. He barely registered a thing as he rose, shaking himself to a bare level of awareness. He looked around for a moment before smiling, the small brown blur in the tree above still clear enough for him to notice.

“That time of year already, huh? I guess it's not only my tree now.”

He gave a contented sigh as he laid back down. His eyes closed again, his mind still drifting as chirps continued to penetrate the silence.

so... new idea to get it a little bit more appealing
three topics you can choose from:
-Spring
-Love(love story/ love itself/ real love)
-Crime(commting crime/getting through moments of crime/ aspects of crime)
choose one of the three.. have fun

@Ruduen: you can either keep your story or either write a new one to one of the new topics.. you just have to say so.. ;)

“Hey come on man! The end of the school year has to be celebrated!” Stino just finished his last exam and was just about to go home. “Sorry guys, not this time… I’ve got some thinking to do. Maybe I’ll catch u guys later!”
His friends mumbled a bit, but left within a few minutes for their desire for beer.
Stino was unlocking his bike, but he suddenly stopped.

“Hey Stino, where are you going?” A long-haired blonde girl came next to him.
“Uhh.. I.. You?” Stino turned red when he realised he was stammering again.
The girl laughed. “Where do u think, silly? To the discotheque ofcourse!” She suddenly turned red too.. “I.. was kind of hoping u would join me.”

Stino’s heart began beating like crazy. “Uhh.. Actually.. uhh.. yea!”
When they arrived at the discotheque, they noticed their friends were already getting drunk.
They both got bored pretty fast and Margrit invited Stino for a walk.
While both of them were very nervous, their conversation advanced pretty fast. At the end they were laughing and began to feel at ease…

After they ended up sitting on a bench, they both became extremely quiet…
Stino looked up and noticed Margrit was staring at him. He suddenly became very nervous again, but after a moment Stino eventually closed his eyes and came closer to her face…
His lips touched hers… Their tongues began to wrestle in their mouths…
After a few minutes they stopped.
“You think we should get back?” Asks Margrit.
“Nah. they’re fine without us… lets just stay for a while…”

264 words.. (partly based on a true story ;))

I know I aint the best writer, so I'll pherhaps make a better one when I have more time ;)!

(Notes: might get a little philosophical at the end. Also, I could have done better if I invested more time and had less stress.
Also partially based on a true story.)

"A sudden flashback... Please, no...

The bell rang.
Friday's class was over. Another weekend was about to start.
I sighed. It didn't mean happiness to me. There was a reason why I hated weekends, and Fridays.
There they went, my classmates. I didn't hold anybody particular back; I preferred being alone and hated the masses of people in the locker room.
Five more minutes I sat, staring on my watch. Just like I usually used to do.

The moment I reached the locker room, I suddenly shivered.
Yes, I saw her. Nobody else.
It was too late to turn back, she had spotted me. And smiled at me.
The evil smile I knew so well all the past years.
It was completely paranoid.

Being the polite person I was, I didn't turn around and go. Or rather, it was something much bigger.
Slowly I approached the girl.
I walked past her, put my bag on the bench and unlocked my locker.
I was lost in thought. I didn't know what to do.
I felt like she was watching every tiny movement I did.
More shivers.
'Did you like that speech?', she asked me calmly. Her voice shattered through the invisible force wall which had seperated my thoughts from my rationality.
'Constantine's speech? It was... alright... I guess...', I slowly said, trying to keep calm. With the corners of my eyes I glanced at her.
I tied my shoelaces, while I heard her closing her locker.
There was some silence. Finally I closed my locker and got back to my bag.
She was still arranging some stuff in hers.
I hesitated.
'Hannah', I said. She looked at me, and I watched her eyes.
I had never done that often.
Her eyes were not beautiful; that would have been an insult to their real pulchritude.
There was something in the eyes, catching me.
What did her smile tell me? That little smile.
And I forced myself...
Slowly I went up to her. And I took her in my arms.
She replied the hug.
She replied the hug...
She replied it...
I could have cried. I could have died.
I didn't try to kiss her. It could have ruined our friendship. And my pride. And my life.
What did I live for, then?
30 seconds passed, and my heart exploded.
I let go. Unwillingly. But conscience took overhand. Just when my feelings had come to a weak point.
And I watched her gentle face, as its smile widened. Beyond imagination.
'You're so cute', she whispered.
I turned to get my bag.


She's distant to me now. Because she knows I love her.
With her help, I managed to see colours. Beautiful colors. Colours of life. They've never been here before.
I had been blind before. Truly blind.
How could I be that stupid?
Colours of happiness, colours of love, colours of life...
Why are they fading? Fading away? Fading to black?
What have I become? What have I become?
Those colours...!
I don't want to lose them... ... ..."

the ending.. is so saddening.. you should not think about such stuff ~ Phil

Why, thank you, skel. I'm not too focused on writing (I have other specialities (music, maths and logic, heh)), but this topic really concerns me at the moment. A lot.

I support Skelguardians comment! Ramond's story ftw^^

And I wish i could write like that, ye.

Since there have been nothing about crime yet I might want to try it out..? ^^
Well, This is a story that just popped out of my head, while i was reading the other ones here. This might not be uber-awesome but it is the first story who contain crime :) This story has about 500 words oO, so IDK if you like to read all that or not. As others have commented, 250 words is almost nothing to base a story on. This may contain small typos since I wrote it fast, in the middle of the night, and since this is unofficial :)

Anyway Here you go.

PS: If any1 have an idea of a title i would be grateful :)
