Writing Wednesday | Writing Prompt "Candy Hearts"

Since Valentine's Day was yesterday, I decided to post this piece in honor of it. The writing might seem a little rushed, so I apologize for that. Without further ado, I present to you "Candy Hearts"!


Sophia gave a mental groan when she walked into school and saw all the red heart decorations in the halls. Today was Valentine's Day and she was not so happy about it. She could already hear several couples saying sweet nothings to each other and practically see them kissing like there's no tomorrow. She walked to her locker where her best friend, Amy, was waiting.
"Morning, Sophia!" Amy exclaimed, enthusiastically.
Sophia gave her a glare and opened her locker. Amy giggled at her best friend's expression. She knew how much Sophia hated Valentine's Day ever since her ex-boyfriend broke up with her on the same day almost three years ago. For Sophia, this day always brought back such painful memories. She took out some books, put them in her bag, and shut her locker. She started walking towards homeroom, Amy keeping pace with her.
"I know how much you hate this day, but please try to cheer up a little? Anything can happen today," Amy said.
"I'll try ," Sophia said, gloomily.
When they got into homeroom, they were surprised to see valentines on their desks. They looked at one another as the sat down. Amy squealed when she realized that hers was from her boyfriend. Sophia looked at hers warily and picked up the card. Next to the card was a bag of candy hearts. She read the card as she opened the bag.
Sophia, I know that you might not like today but at least give us a chance. I really like you and I hope you like me. Love Justin.

Sophia blushed a little at the words of the note and reached into the bag of candy hearts. The one she grabbed said,"Be Mine". She looked at it happily. Maybe things would change for her on today of all days.

Five Tips to Get Out of a Reading Slump

Hey fellow readers! So seeing as I've been in a bit of an off-and-on reading slump for the past couple of months, I decided that I'll give you a few tips to help you all get out of a slump when you find yourselves in one. Without further preamble, here are five tips to out of a reading slump. 1.  Do Something Else: Sometimes after a really good/emotional/powerful book, it's easy to fall into a reading slump. Doing something else- whether it be playing video games or watching t.v.- can be a worthwhile break from reading. A break from reading can sometimes help to reignite the passion to read. 2. Get a Change of Scenery: Reading in the same spot all the time can cause a reading slump. So go find a new spot to read! Be it in the kitchen, the living room, or outside. Reading in a different place can be very beneficial to keep from falling into a slump. 3. Find a New Genre to Read: When reading the same genre over and over again, it causes a reading slump due to reading th...

Delirium

Title: Delirium (Delirium #1) Author: Lauren Oliver Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Published: February 2012 Medium Read In: Paperback Pages: 441 Rating: 4 Why I Read It: I was curious to what all the good ratings were about.  Summary:  Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't. Review: This book reminded me a lot like Matched  by Allie Condie, in which the government systems are slightly alike. The only difference is that love still exists in Matched  whereas it does not exist in this book. I found it difficult to relate to Lena in anyway until the end of the novel. Lena...
