Hello and welcome to the Hump Day Hook. Today I share an
excerpt from my first published short story The Teen Game, featured in
the YA anthology Devils, Demons and Werewolves…
That afternoon I sat near to the boy I wanted. He was tall and slender with short black
hair in a spiked style. I learnt that
his name was David Samson and I set about making small talk while we had our
first practical art lesson. He was
extremely shy and seemed confused as to why I wanted his attention but slowly
he began to respond, amid much cajoling from his friends. He was another local born and bred who had
come to college straight from the affiliated high school. I was very much the outsider in this place
but that didn’t faze me in the slightest.
Shelley and I ended our first day with invitations to join a group of
boys at the pool club in the nearby cinema complex on Wednesday evening. Naturally the group included my David. Everything was progressing smoothly.
