Immediately the smile he so proudly brandished disappeared faster than the thought of my hands connecting with his face. I looked over to Mathew, afraid he............... more One Shot of Milk - excerpt 4
We arrived back at school just in time to see the gardener making his finishing touches to the lawn and the school janitors cleaning the auditorium. It was minutes after six and the place looked almost serene amidst the bustling city right outside it. The form buildings were quiet and crickets were heard just outside the gardens of the parking lot. I knew the perfect spot and guided Mathew there. It was small foliage right... more ONE SHOT OF MILK - Excerpt 5
We drove in minutes later in our garage but the drive had seemed like an unending journey. I retrieved my knapsack from the backseat and opened the door to see if a swift escape could have been possible and then I heard a voice, at first I had thought or even hoped it came from the radio but I quickly recognized that the sound came from my mother. “Don’t bother change…stay in the kitchen…I will... more One Shot of Milk- Excerpt Six Chapter One
I didn’t know when I got into my room the next day or even into my bed for that matter or even the memory of what had happened.

I had missed school that day which subsequently was the same day of my English exam for my end... more One Shot of Milk- Excerpt Eight Chapter One
I walked towards the cafeteria hoping to get a soda before the lines starting to fill up with equally thirsty girls and some who had missed lunch were now trying to compensate with oily cheese burgers and sweet, fizzy drinks. I was now almost to the front of the line when Brandy appeared asking me to hold her bag while she put on... more One Shot of Milk- Excerpt Nine Chapter One
I did not need this right now but I still encouragingly gave Brandy the “You Go Girl” sign regardless. We exited the cafeteria moments after I had finished my soda and went towards the courtyard that was now filled with girl’s either awaiting their parents to pick them up or boyfriends or in some cases man friends. In about an hour or so I was to have a Key Club meeting and undoubtedly happy because... more One Shot of Milk- Excerpt Ten Chapter One
It was obvious she had something up her sleeve because her voice was heavily laden with that anxious excitement I knew it had when her brain was busy at work. “I saw yuh friend while I was at the park with David and he told me….” She began. “Which friend dat” I interrupted fully aware of who she spoke about but was still silently embarrassed about our Key-Club encounter. “Shut Up! Bout who mi a... more One Shot Of Milk Excerpt Eleven Chapter One
We arrived at Fridays about 10minutes to 9:00 to a room full of hungry but equally chatty patrons milling about, laughing and drinking while music blared over the house speakers. We walked around for a bit looking for somewhere to sit when someone blurted out my name over the heavy-pumping pop music which subsequently was one of my favorites. I followed the voice until in the far corner of the room I saw Christian and... more DRENZ FASHION THE UNDERDOGS STIRRED-UP STYLE WEEK
