    I could always read it, but I wish to maintain a small shred of my sanity, so I choose not to.
    PEACE

    I didn't read it either, I simply assume it is an attempt by Riko to improve her English writing.

    If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.

    It is acceptable to sometimes start a sentence with "and" depending on the context of the previous sentence. And you may want to check your own punctuation before ripping on others.

    “Megan just do it! ” Molly says popping her head out of her bedroom door.
    “Molly I can’t.”
    “Megan! Oh my God do it! This is the whole purpose of you coming over stupid! ”
    “But I’m scared.”
    “Why you like him don’t you? He called you didn’t he? This is like a dream come true. You told me yourself that you couldn’t believe it, after all the thinking that every phone call was from him, that it finally was.”
    Megan sighs. “Alright” she says in an I-hope-your-right voice.

    Megan dials the number and waits while the phone rings. An older woman picks up the phone. Assuming that it is his Grandma, Megan asks “Hi is Josh there? ”
    “Who? ”
    “Josh.”
    “Hun you must have the wrong number.”
    “Oh…I’m sorry”
    Megan hangs up the phone and looks at Molly who came out of her room in anticipation.
    “It was a wrong number.” Megan says blankly.
    “No way! Are you serious give me the number you probably hit the wrong buttons.”
    Molly dials the number “Hi is Josh there? ”
    “Listen I told the other girl the same thing. You’ve got the wrong number!”
    Molly hangs up the phone, and says “Oops. I’m sure he just said it wrong, I mean come on! I forget my own phone number some times too.”
    Molly gives an encouraging smile and says “Wana call Kevin? Maybe he’s going to the prep game, then you can finally meet him! ”
    Megan smiles a huge smile. Kevin was Molly’s much talked about but never met boyfriend.
    “Yeah that sounds fun.” Megan laughs.
    Molly calls Kevin. “Hey Kevin are you going to the Prep game? You are? Awesome wana meet us somewhere? Yeah Megan’s over. Now you guys can finally meet! ”
    Megan laughs as she sees that girlish smile cross Molly’s lips.
    “Ok well I’ll see ya there bye.”
    Molly hangs up the phone. “Ok now let’s go get ready.”

    Molly’s mom calls up the stairs. “Molly you are going to be late if you don’t get down here right now.”
    Molly rolls her eyes. “Yes mother.”
    Molly strolls down the hall to where Megan is putting on the rest of her eyeliner.
    “Hey you ready? ”
    “Yep”
    “Ok let’s go before my mom has a cow.”

    Molly and Megan are strolling around the football game looking for Kevin. Megan sees a boy with his skateboard looking in their direction.
    The boy had long blackish brown hair that hung in his eyes. The boy was about Megan’s height maybe around 5’8.
    Megan thinks to herself “Oh that has to be him.”
    Molly then notices him and runs over to him, he picks her up and spins her around.
    “Aww how cute” says Megan once again to herself and smiles wi****lly.
    “Kevin this is Megan, Megan this is Kevin.”

    The three of them walk around for the remainder of the game chatting happily about nothing in particular. For the most part Megan had an awesome time but she couldn’t stop thinking about Josh. Megan then sees her friend Anna.
    Anna was a short pretty girl with beautiful curly brown Italian hair. She loved to cook and everything she did cook was absolutely out of this world. Anna was a clown one of the funniest bunch of the group.
    “Hey what’s up Anna? ”
    “Hey Megan, not a lot. What are you doing here? ”
    “Oh I went to Molly’s and we decided to come to the game so I could Meet Kevin.”
    “Oh Kevin? Where is he? ”
    “He’s up there. Hey Kevin turn around! ”
    Kevin turns around
    “This is Anna our friend.”
    “Oh ok hi! ”
    Megan laughs softly and then says to Anna “Those two are so cute together.”

    Anna and Megan continue to follow Molly and Kevin.
    Later on when the four of them decided to sit for a while Megan tells Anna about her attempt to call Josh.
    “Are you sure Megan? ”
    “Yeah I’m sure, Molly tried too the only thing I got out of the phone call was feeling really bad for that poor old woman.”
    “Megan I don’t think he did it on purpose.”
    When Megan doesn’t say anything Anna tries again.
    “Look you know that every time he calls me it’s always about you.” Anna nudges Megan playfully
    “Hey cheer up he called you remember? ”
    Megan smiles shyly. “Does he really ask about me all the time? ”
    Anna rolls her eyes. “Yeah, non stop. So should I assume that those feelings that you had last year still remain? ”
    Megan whistles an, I’m innocent tune.
    “So I guess I should tell him to call you then? ”
    Megan blushes slightly and grins uncontrollably. “Yes please.”
    Prep wins the game and Anna leaves and Molly, Megan and Kevin walk to where Molly’s parents were picking them up.
    The three of them stand there waiting for a while talking cheerfully.
    “Well see ya Kevin” Megan says as Molly’s mom pulls up to his house and Molly gets out to say goodbye.
    Molly gets back into the car and plops down on the seat next to Megan.
    When they get to Molly’s house Molly’s mom goes to bed.
    Megan and Molly stay up late talking about anything and everything. Megan loved this part of coming over to Molly’s house it was the part where the two of them stayed up having great late night heart to hearts.

    Molly is a retro painter/poet/writer all crammed into one tiny freckle face package. She could play one mean violin even though she stopped six years back when she was younger. She still plays better than anyone Megan knew. Which in other words meant better than Megan.
    She had that fair colored skin due to the Irish in her. Molly is full of a charisma so full of a life and spirit that it was almost impossible to describe it. She was full of energy and didn’t care what anyone thought about her. Molly was the type of person who would give someone a hug just because she wanted one back.
    “Oh my god I just thought of something. What if he wants to go back out with me? What do I do? ” Megan says with a stricken look on her face.
    “Ummmm, you say yes.” Molly replies in a “dur” voice.
    “But…but”
    “But what? Megan ever since you broke up with the guy last year that’s all you dreamed about. I thought that’s what you wanted; another chance? ”
    “But Molly it was messed up last time what if it is this time? I just…” Megan sighs, “I don’t know let’s sleep on it.”
    Molly yawns a huge yawn “Sounds like a plan see ya in the morning, ‘night”
    “G’night Molly.”

    The girls wake up early and decide to go on a walk and end up at the park. Then ventured home after getting sick from riding the swings too much.
    “Megan your mother’s here.” Molly’s mom calls up the stairs
    “Ok thank you Mrs. Kuhnley! ”
    Megan walks from the bathroom into Molly’s room.
    “Hey seen my bag? ”
    Molly jumps off the bed and grabs Megan’s bag from the end of her bed.
    “Here ya go. Thanks for commin.”
    “Thanks for having me. I had fun.”
    Together they walk out of the bedroom and down the hall.
    “So are you gana talk to him next time he calls? ” Molly asks as they walk down the hall together.
    “Yeah, I won’t do any harm just talking to him will it? And besides we need to talk. There are things left unsaid that needn’t be that way.”
    The girls come down the stairs and hug each other goodbye.[/size]
    I have a word for you, punctuation.
    Pick a tense, past, present or future and stick to it.
    I won't comment on the story. You are free to write about anything you feel like.
    PEACE
