I walked over there my very first thoughts were Thor. But it wasn’t. I walked over there and saw Ethan I opened the window. He pushed his way passed me without saying a word; he lay on my bed and started to breathe slowly. “What the...” I said looking at him but he didn’t even look back at me he just stayed there. I walked over and sat on the bed. “Well” I said. “Shh, I have a major headache” he said rubbing his temples. I smacked him on his chest and for a second I let it lie there and then he looked at me. “So what happened?” he said smiling a smug smile. “What do you mean?” I said giving him a confused look. “What made you change your mind about me?” he said still smiling. For a second I was still giving him the confused look but then I remembered. Ethan’s power includes reading you like an open book. “Oh god” I said and got up; I put my hand over my mouth. “Come here” he said waving his hand. “No, I’m fantastic over here” I said still in shock. But then he came over and put his hand on my cheek like the other day. We were in each other’s gaze when finally he kissed me.
The kiss started off simple but then something came over me I grabbed his shoulders moving my hands up to his neck, I pushed him back onto my wall a photo fell down we both laughed. In the seconds our lips separated we would have to take a breather. Then after that he pulled back I wanted to pull him back to me, but then I heard a thump. “Thor” he said and he went into my bathroom. I stayed there part of me thinking about had just happened and the other part thinking what am I going to tell Thor.
He came in. “what’s going on here?” he said, looking at all the broken glass and broken pictures. “Umm...well I am dancing” I said. He gave me a ‘do you think I am an idiot?’ look and he went into my bathroom. I stopped breathing but when he came out alone I realised that Ethan was gone. Part of me was mad at Thor from coming in but I guess another part was relieved, who knows how far it could have gone.

n the morning I woke up and saw the glass near my bed. “It wasn’t a dream” I said to myself. I then ran to my closet and put on the first things I could find, a Yellow shirt and navy blue jeans. I walked down stairs and saw Thor and Ethan sitting at the table. I walked in and sat on the other side opposite to Ethan. Ethan smiled and winked at me while Thor was turning to look on the game. I kicked him under the table. Thor turned back and looked at me. “So what happened last night?” he said. “What do you mean?” I said I knew what he meant. “Last night, when I came in and checked on you, and don’t say that you were dancing because you weren’t” He said and signed. Ethan acted intrigued. “Oh, yeah that I umm....tried the pendant thing again” I said. As soon as I said it a sign of relief went over Ethan’s head. Thor smiled “Why?” He said raising an eyebrow. “Well, I need to help him so I thought I would try it and I’ll stop though, I mean my photo’s lives are in danger” I said smiling. Thor returned the smile as he got up and went upstairs. “Be right back” he said. “Well, looks like you are my little princess” He said smiling. He walked over and sat next to me just like he did the other day. “No, I’m not last night was a mistake. One that I will never do again” I said. He put his hand on my cheek like last night. “So, if I were to kiss you” He whispered in my ear. I didn’t slap his hand away. His lips were just touching mine.
The kiss was not like last night this kiss was gentle, our lips were slowly moving in the rhythm of each others. Then he pulled away I had that same felling, I didn’t want him to stop. But this time Thor wasn’t coming. “What?” I said moving back an inch. “If Thor walked in right now would you stop?” he said coming close to me. “Where did this come from?” I asked. “Answer my question” He said. “Yeah, yes of course” as soon as I said he moved back a stood up. “Then you’re right” he said and went up stairs. “What do you mean? I asked. There was no answer.
For the rest of the day all I could think about was Ethan’s riddle. Then suddenly I hear a knock at the door. I walk over and answer it. Relief went over my head it was Ethan. “Oh if it isn’t the riddler” I said walking off. I could hear him following me but I ignored it. “It’s not a riddle” he said as he grabbed my arm. “Yes it is" I said in a mocking tone. “No it’s not” he said letting go of my arm. “Then tell me what it meant” I said, walking into the kitchen and sitting down at the table, he did the same. “You said that you weren’t my little princess” The words came out of his mouth like a knife in my back. I wasn’t his little princess and I would have stopped if Thor had came in. “I hurt you, didn’t I?” I didn’t want him to say yes. “No, but you made your point” he said. “What point?” I asked. “That you are not my little princess and you can’t be last night I was off my head. And you were lost in your thoughts” I words hit me, I didn’t hurt him but he had hurt me. “So what you’re saying is that last night was a mistake” I said. “Yeah” he said as he got up. It was a mistake, I said I didn’t want to get into the whole boy next door thing and I nearly did. “Okay” I said and got up like him. I didn’t even say goodbye I just turned around and left.

Remembering is just an invention of the mind,
So you need not try to remember something,
You remember it automatically.
Which is the best thing that you could have.
The good times that we had...
It is placed in a portion of your mind.
The bad times that we had...
It is placed in the other part of your mind.
You try to forget all of the bad things that happened,
But it is not possible.
It is stuck in you.
The bad things are painted in ink on your heart.
The good things, you try to remember.
And they stay.
They never go.
Never leave you.
Remembering is just an invention of the mind.
And, well...I guess I'm happy for that.
So I can remember every friend I've had,
Every boyfriend,
And all the good times.
Every memory will never leave my heart.
They will never be forsaken.
Never.

*Poem I wrote for a class project on the holocaust.
DON'T COPY*
Different in ways they couldn't control
Killed for reasons we do not know
Ranging from ages young to old
The innocent people were taken from homes
Soulless people did not care
That the Jewish were in despair
Concentration camps ending their screams
Breaking apart their families
Not once did they do anything wrong
They opened their mouths and sang a sad song
Years went by and more pain came
Until on one very special day
As one we all saved
The survivors of the Holocaust

Me and Those
Ever noticed that in this life
Everyone wants you to do something,
Or be something
That sometimes you don’t want to be?
They are those!
You know them!
You probably have those in your house.
They are those who expect you to take a path,
Even though,
Sometimes,
You don’t want to take.
They are those who expect you to be great,
Even though,
Sometimes,
You prefer to be small and humble.
But do you think,
For the slightest second,
That they care about that?
They don’t!
They are your parents,
Your grandparents,
Your Uncles and aunts,
That since you were born,
Came up with a path for you in life.
But know this,
And say it to yourself:
They are those, they matter,
But me is I,
And I’m the main character.
Sitting right where you are
You have no claim on me
I know my own path
I am my own guide
You are nothing to me
No matter how you try
What do you care?
If I'm not doing it right
I'm not following you
I know my own path
I am my own guide
You don't know me
No matter how you try
Why are you here?
You know I don't want you
I told you to leave me
I am my own path
I know my own guide
You can't mold me
No matter how you try
Why do I feel compelled to write angsty poetry? I swear I'm not even that angsty. lol Oh well, I hope someone out there enjoys it.
A whisper in the cavern that goes unheard,
and a glimmer in the sky that stays unnoticed,
like the start of a brand new life, at the peak
of a mountain never scaled, lies in wait.
It can't be moved by any cosmic mover,
so no passing wind or fog will douse it.
Only your eyes can scratch out the image
or accept it, the light at the edge of your eyes.
Will you take hold of the key you're offered?
Stop singing of freedom; seek it instead?
To become a companion of the new
takes an ever expanding, soaring gaze.
But even by taking one step forward,
by placing one hand onto the mountain,
as the wind tugs gently at your back,
you will realize the cage has already been broken.
