Chapter 1: Jack and Cassandra's Life
The sun sets earlier each night. The trees are beginning to lose their leaves. The temperature is lowering as the days go by. To adults, such changes symbolize that autumn is coming; however, to the children and teens, it means school is to be back in session.
"Lil bro, wake up! I made your favorite breakfast: soy eggs, tofu bacon, orange juice, a slice of grapefruit, and a bagel with light cream cheese."
Inside a cocoon of sheets, a teenage boy's head poked out. His eyes scanned his room, from the walls clad with band posters, to the floor covered in clothing, to the top of his
Movie Nights
By: Talim Tikal
My plastic body yearns to be free
But cables and wires hold me
Sitting here, next to the screen
Playing things for all to see
On the walls the colors dance
The speakers aiding in the trance
Play, pause, stop, skip
Letting you get your kicks
On, off, open, close
Never to get up and go
Rewind, fast forward, slow-mo
Watching as the dust settles so
Volume up, volume down
Movie disks spin round and round
Sleep, menu, mute, source
Playing all these by force
Wide-screen, full screen
Forever watching it seems
Telling stories that aren't mine
I can't name the number of times
Action, horror, war, thril
Love; the perfect feeling
The feeling that binds two souls
The emotion that keep this world together
Love is everywhere; you just have to look for it
Love is like the sky above
Always there, even when the day is done
Love is like water reflecting the midnight stars
Beautiful and mystifying
Love is like snow
Pure, shining, and untainted
Love
It is the one feeling that lasts
Anger fades and so does hatred
Love; however, stays forever
Never to fade away
People talk about love
As if it has left us
It loses its meaning
As people misuse it
Love is beyond just liking a person
Love is more than choices
Love is more than lyrics s
Running, forever it seems
Life's like that when you're me
Dodging bullets left and right
War is never a pleasant sight
Fighting, forever it seems
Days like this I can agree
Always moving, stopping kills
And all this death makes me ill
Death, forever it seems
Bodies piled for all to see
Parts missing, some shot off
Our hearts are no longer pure or soft
Nightmares, forever it seems
I wake screaming from the dreams
Too much pain I have seen
I have killed so many enemies
I am the knight of modern times
I am a coward
I am the warrior of justice
I am a criminal
I am a savior
I am a murderer
I am as invincible as a god
I am as

Chapter 2: School Days and Loves Haze
As he awoke, he rushed to get everything ready. He ran down, grabbed a Pop-Tart and a green tea Sobe. He jetted down the empty morning street to his bus stop. There he waited for the golden chariot that will bring him to his new school in the cold.
//..So cold...// he thought as he rubbed his arms

As he walked toward the locker room when he saw David.
David was sweaty from lifting weights. Jack stared at him, as if caught in a trance. Jack stared at the beads of sweat that shone like thousands of small diamonds. He followed the path of one bead as it made its way from his forehead, down his cheek, following his neck only to disappear beneath his shirt. Jack blushed instantly as realized he was staring. He quickly caught himself as he turned away. He hoped that the blonde didnt notice.
David didnt see him looking at him, nor did he see the blush. All he did notice was Jack was soaking wet.
