Don't read first; Recap

Hey, don't read this first! Read my previous posts before this. In this post I will be talking about my ideas that I had when I came up with my other stories and what I plan on posting in the future. I don't know if you guys noticed but all my posts so far are like 3 months apart. It was not my intent to do this. I noticed it when I was on my 3rd post or so, so I went along with it and made all my posts 3 months apart, but I don't plan to continue this way.
So, my stories are out of order, I told a story on Section 2 then 1 then 3, no big deal though but when you first enter Shoreview you will be in Section 1 then driving through it you will end up in Section 2 and so forth. Okay, so for my first story, which took place in Section 2, was about a boy named Travis who was being haunted by this random girl who obviously wasn't human. I wrote the story when I was in 10th grade, which was in 2008 or 2009. I wanted to come up with this creepy character like Freddy, Chucky, or Jason. And I was washing the dishes while I was thinking and a girl who was very pale, scary looking, with pale blue eyes that you never see and short black hair covering most of her face came to mind. I was like whoa! that's scary and came up with a name for her, which is Kerr (pronounce "care"), don't ask why because I don't know. So that night I had a nightmare about my own imaginative creation, and in the dream she was able to shift from one human being to another, while still having her same appearance, and that's where that idea came from because I used it in the story when Travis was going crazy at school. The whole thing about Travis going blind at the end of the story was my idea for a haunting power of Kerr's. Kerr haunts and torments her random seeked victims and she messes with their senses before making her victims go completely blind. There is more to come for this girl, so far I don't have a solid background on her.
My next story was about a girl named Ronnie who basically got played by twin brothers. I came up with the idea awhile back wanting to make a lengthy paged story on the idea. I also came up with a guy's perspective on this (twin girls). But neither story went far, I abandon a lot of my stories. I don't think I have much to say about this story, I wanted to make the audience confused and to never think that Ronnie was actually dating twins who were messing with her.
My last story was hard to come up with. I had to go on the internet where these websites gave me little things that I could piece together to make a story. One site said something like the location is a pool and the object is a desk or something like that. I didn't think much of it at first. How can you come up with a story using that? But then a thought came to me and that's how I came up with Dawn and her story. She's in love with Gabriel, her boyfriend, and wants to save her virginity for him. But she gets raped at a YMCA on a desk by a man who works there. She's in denial that it happened, lies to the audience about being a virgin and there are some parts in the story where she catches herself before revealing herself. She's lying to herself and thinks that she's still a virgin. She doesn't want to tell anybody because she is scared that her loved ones will pity her, and off the back she says that she hates pity. I thought it was a pretty unique story with the whole use of a pool, a desk, and pity.
So right now I'm writing a book called Distractions. It won't be like an actual book, like up for sale, but it will be in novel length. It won't be the first book I wrote but one of the ones I call an official. I like writing stories about gay teenage males, I'm probably the only black female who writes like Alex Sanchez (who writes books about gay teenage boys, i.e. Rainbow Boys the trilogy). I'm just in love with homosexual males and my main character is named Dana Crews and he's gay. What surrounds him is his parents issues. He's fed up with his parents that he wants some distractions from them and their problems. Which he gets: his sister falling into the wrong crowd and spiraling downward, his friends betraying and lying to him, and falling for a new guy. I mention some personal parts in the story, his parent's troubles, which I can relate to. I might post up some snippets to be previewed.
My next posts will be little snippets from my previous writings and stories. If you go to my Myspace, that's where I started blogging, I have little posts showcasing my previous writing. I might transfer them to here. I also created a series back in 2007 called Homegirls and Dopeboys. I continue writing them for my own personal entertainment but I might post some background on it because I did on Myspace.
That's it for now, I did not mean to publish this in March but in February, but for some reason I had a hard time trying to get into this site.

A Short Trip

As the buzzer was going off the noise coming from everywhere in the gymnasium could be heard over it. The crowd cheering and yelling, the female's step team coming onto the floor after the basketball players cleared it, and even the gossip coming out of Tiana's mouth. I bet she's still talking about me. She's had the biggest crush on me since this past year and since I won't give her any play, she runs her mouth. 'Derek is sleeping with Mrs. Ambers to get a good grade', she'd say. 'Derek has a baby mama in the next town, that's why he doesn't date any of the girls here.' She'll go on and I always have to shut her down. I glanced down the bleachers to my right. She's there and staring at me. I roll my eyes in my mind and just look away slowly. My boy plays for our high school basketball team. Our uniforms are red. I catch sight of Shan in the number 3. Three was his favorite number just because. It's a coincidence ...

The Point

HOT TOPIC Another metal song came on from the speakers above me. I look up at them. My eyes travel down and straight ahead to a figure that was approaching me. Ginger. She was coming at me with her mascara running down her cheeks, her head down, crying and wiping at her black tears. Her yellow, blond hair flew behind her from side to side. In her sleeveless, not-covering-her-stomach, David Bowie from The Hunger t-shirt and torn black skinny jeans and combat boots, she strides towards me with powerful steps. She was highly upset. Shit. What now? She bumps her arm against mines and turns to face me. "She's a bitch," she exhales. "Tangy?" I take a wild guess. "Yeah, I caught her with some chick. They looked like they were on a date." I believed that Ginger was on the sensitive side. Tangy was always cheating on her. "Maybe she was with a cousin," I say as I eye the bracelets on the bracelet rack. "No, they were holding hands." ...

The Social Circle

So, I was going through some things in my closet and I found a photo of my whole graduation class. This made me go back and look through my yearbook at my past classmates. When I was in middle school there were these "popular white girls" that I and a few of my friends called "preps". They were the girls that were white, popular, looked rich, and wore Aeropostale and what not. So as I was looking at the photo I noticed the "popular girls", they were all wearing white in the photo and they stood out. I counted them. There were like 30-ish of them. This gave me an inspiration to write a fictional story about 30 white and Italian, there are a bunch of Italians in my area, girls. I had fun with creating names, looks, and personalities for these characters (which I always like to do). I didn't know whether I was going to stick it out and continue writing it (I always abandon most of my stories, like "Distractions", check older post about this stor...
