A Miracle

What would life be without a little mistery?

Without things that you don`t know why and how happened but

they just did? Everybody has experienced something really unusual

and now I would like to tell you one of my different stories

It was winter .My family and I were in Burgas for the Christmas

holiday. It had been snowing for three days and the ground was

covered with a blanket of snow so we decided to go outside and

make a snowman .Everything was just perfect. I was playing with

my parents, the snowflakes were falling gently on my head and

hands. The December sun was caressing my frostbitten cheeks.

Suddenly I realised I’d lost my ring - a very special gift from my

grandmother. I started looking for it but my search was in vain, the

ring seemed to have disappeared. When I was completely miserable

my mom said to me! Don`t worry, it`s Christmas, miracles happen!

Soon, on 25th December something absolutely unbelievable

happened. I couldn`t believe such thing was possible. I found my

ring on the balcony.

My parents’ explanation was that Santa Claus had given it to me as

a Christmas present. Years after I asked my mother if she had found

the ring and then put it on the balcony floor saying this was a

present from Santa Claus! Her answer was no. Now I know three

things - the first one is that this is the story of my childhood I`ll

always remember. The second, Santa Claus is not a real person and

the last - miracles really happen if you believe in them.

Secrets

- After school today I want to go somewhere - Eleanor said while

looking at something in Twitter.

- That will be good, just to get rid of our parents – added Dayana.

- Hey, hey – congratulated them Nataliya. – I heard we were going

away for the weekend, I guess to the old Eleanor’s ranch. I hope it

isn’t a problem.

- No, it isn’t. Nobody has gone there for years. But who will tell Daniel

and Alison? – asked Eleanor

- I will tell them. – said Nataliya – So at 6 pm in the grove, and then

from there we will go together, okay?

- Okay. – added Dayana, closed her locker and went out.

The grove was their place. There they studied and had fun. Nobody

else knew about this place. Daniel was in the swimming team and

had a friend. She lived with her mother and father. The latter was in

the army and traveled a lot.

Dayana had a younger brother – Mike. She lived with her mother

and her father. She loved reading and also writing.

Eleanor had an older sister – Melissa. She didn’t like her much, she

was always smarter , clever, but didn’t make a big impression. She

lived with her family, though two steps from the house in the old

barn, which she herself had furnished.

3

Nataliya lived only with her mother, because her parents were

divorced. She liked eating, especially while watching a scary movie.

And Alison. Alison was their sister. She was the big boss in the game.

She cared of each of them, giving them clothes and doing her best to

be sure they were in good hands. She didn’t let anyone insult them,

hurt or embarrass them. She was well-known throughout the school.

Everyone knew her, and if there were any problems, they would

always address her.

It was five to six. In front of the grove were Daniel, Dayana, Eleanor

and Nataliya. Only Alison wasn’t there. They had large backpacks

with food and their sleeping bags.

- Where is Ali? – asked Eleanor.

- She should have been – added Daniel.

- Hey, hey. I’m here – Ali cried and closer to them – See what I

have bought.

They all gathered around her. She opened her bag – it was alcohol.

The girls never drank except at parties where Alison took them. They

went into the grove. It was dark. They were by themselves in the

woods at night. Only Ali wasn’t afraid. It was difficult to scare her.

They came to the ranch. They entered and left the heavy bags on the

floor. Eleanor lit the fire place. Then all ran around it.

- Wow, very funny – said Daniel smiling

- Do you want to play a game – said Ali, who got up and walked to the

bag with alcohol. She poured some beer into a big cup and started.

- Each of you sips and tells a secret, and then transfers it to the next.

Come on, girls, it would be fun – she said when she saw that the girls

had a great desire – And, you know, our secrets will make us closer.

4

- Come on, girls, let’s try. We won’t go home this night and nobody

will know what we did – said Nataliya

- Okay, but just a little bit – agreed the others.

Not long after the girls were drunk, everyone of them wouldn’t

remember what they did tonight, except for Ali. They went to bed.

It was early morning, but was not yet dawn. There was a cry. Eleanor

woke up and saw that Ali wasn’t there. Something was wrong.

- What will we do if something has happened – she thought .

She wasn’t anywere. El went back and woke the others up.

- Ali has gone!

- Stop, El, lie down, maybe it is some of her tricks. – said Dayana

-No girls, no kidding, come and look for her.

Alison was really gone and this was no lie. They announced she was

missing.

Since then the girls didn’t gather anymore. They weren’t the friends

they had been before. Dayana had gone for a year to another city.

Natliya had become the star of the high school, wearing brand new

clothes and the strange was that she had become friends with Mona

– the girl Alison used to put down. Eleanor was well dressed , casual,

still beating records in high school. And Daniel also well- dressed,

with her lovely smile and beautiful long hair. She was still the

champion of the swimming team.

5

One day Dayana came back and on the same day was at school.

While she was walking, she remembered each of their meetings. All

memories emerged in her mind. The same city, the same people, only

Ali was gone. She met Daniel.

- I didn’t recognize you without the pink streaks – Daniel said and

laughed.

- Hello Danny! – Dayana laughed and hugged her.

- One year! - said Danny.

- I can’t believe that one year has passed! Do you remember what Ali

said that night? Secrets bring us closer. I think it’s just the opposite. –

said Dayna

- Let’s go. The bell is ringing – said Danny

Eleanor came into the classroom, waved to them, then sat at her

desk. Not long after came Nataliya. Dayana just could not believe it

was her. So slim, with brand clothes , she was like a model. The

teacher came and the news was announced on the radio. It was

about Alison Dilaurentis. They had found her body. Girls looked at

each other in an instant. After school they went home. They funeral

was the same day.

All were dressed in black. Each came at different times to the funeral

hall. They had a special place at the front. They sat next to each

other. They knew that nothing was over, they knew that there was

always a mystery around Alison even if she was dead, the game

would be played. After the funeral, the girls went outside, they didn’t

know what to say. Suddenly all heard the sound of their phones. Each

of them was sent the same message:

6

“I’m still here my dear, game isn’t over .. kisses – A

- Could it be Ali? – asked Dayana

- Nobody knows – added Eleanor, in a frightened voice.

Forgotten

A young tourist got lost near an old mountain village .The girl was

walking through the forest when she saw some houses . She ran

quickly to the first one but it was empty. There wasn`t anybody

there. It seemed there weren`t any people in the village.Suddenly

an old woman stepped out of an old house.

-Good afternoon, said the girl scared.

-Let it be good! Where do you come from?

The girl explained how she got lost and asked about any trains or

buses to town.

-Trains ? Oh, there haven`t been any trains or buses for a long time.-

said the woman.

-Then I will have ta stay here for the night and leave the next

morning.

-I have only one room but we can share it.

The woman told the girl that all the other people died and she was

the only one in the whole village. There was no shop, no transport.

7

-Are you hungry? - asked the old woman. I`ll give you some goat

milk. I have just milked my goats.

While knitting the woman told the girl that all the stars in the sky

are the stars are the souls of our dead relatives and friends. They

are the only ones I talk to during the long lonely nights.

The girl got interested and asked:

-So, what happens to one who died?

-When someone dies, they go to their stars. This is why there are so

many stars.

The old woman lit lots of candles to light the road for the dead and

started:

-Come here,Jordana,we haven`t seen for a long time.

-I`m coming.

-Your star is really bright and makes me feel good.

-My soul is bright-I helped so many people.

-I know, I know.You know so much about people and their

problems.

The girl was stunned, she listened and couldn`t believe it. Lots of

questions appeared in her head.

-What is god - a human or something else ?- asked the girl looking

puzzled.

-Don`t hurry. You will know it. God has taken care of every thing.

The sky is the home for all human souls.The Earth takes the bodies.

8

The old woman consoled the girl and made the bed for her.The girl

couldn`t sleep. What came to her mind was that a man is really a

tiny bit in the space but lives forever in the mind of the living.

In the morning the girl thanked the woman and left. The woman

knew that was the last guest she would have.

-Be strong and sound!, said the girl.

- Let the good be with you.

The girl climbed up and walked along the mountain paths.

When she got home, she told her parents what happened.They

wanted to say thank you to the old woman but didn`t know how to

get to the village, which was forgotten by everybody.

The End!!

Imaginary Boyfriend

Okay, this was getting downright ridiculous. Of all the annoying

arguments she had with Kathie this was surely the worst.

,,Ugh, Kathie I told you already that I don’t need your help!” The

red-haired,18-year-old girl groaned as she massaged the bridge of

her nose. She gave her blonde best friend a death glare before

turning her attention back to the principal, who was giving a

speech. It was their first day of senior year and Jessica Smith was

already having a bad day. How could she not? Her alarm clock broke

and she had to finish her daily routine for less than five minutes.

Yeah, that had to be a new record. Then her car just had to break,

and she had to wait for the bus, and it had to rain today, and her

10

best friend Kathie Elbert just HAD to start her pestering on “the

case”. Yup. Worst. DAY. EVER!

,,Come ON, Jess! You’re a senior now! You’re missing half of your

life! So stop being such a bookworm and let me help you find a

boyfriend!” Kathie said in a whisper. It wasn’t really that much of a

surprise that they took a seat at the very back. That way they

wouldn’t attract attention to themselves.

,,Hey! I’m not a bookworm!” Jess hissed back.”We’re seniors. We

should be more focused on our studies!,,

,,At this rate you’ll grow up into a single old cat-lady. Come on, even

Tom was able to get into a relationship before you did! And this is

Tom we’re talking about! Tom! That guy wouldn’t recognize love

even if it smacked him in the face!” Kathie reasoned, resisting the

urge to throw her hands up in frustration.

Jess sighed as she massaged her temples. “You’re wrong, Kat. How

many times do I have to tell you that I don’t need any of the guys

you plan to set-up for me because I already have a boyfriend?!,,

The blonde blue-eyed girl snorted at this. “You’ve been saying

that for two years, Jess. You should really change that excuse of

yours because, this time, I’m not letting you off the hook.”

“It’s not an excuse!,, Jess almost yelled due to irritation. Luckily, she

had enough control to keep her voice down despite her short

temper.

“Yeah, sure….you’ve been saying that since freshman year but we

still haven’t met this ‘imaginary boyfriend’ of yours.” Jess at that

moment didn’t know which one to do: pull her own hair our pull

Kat’s. The latter was very tempting. However, at that time, the

11

meeting ended and everyone stood up to go to their classrooms.

Jess jumped to her feet and left her friend.

Since the start of high school Kathie had been annoying her to get a

guy already. She didn’t get why it was so important to be in a

relationship so she always told Kathie that she didn’t want to be in

one. But her lack of romantic relationships didn’t have to do

anything with her appearance. In fact, with her smooth skin,

sparkling emerald eyes and straight, waist-length red hair she was

one of the prettiest girls in school. Despite this she still refused to

be involved with anyone.

However, sometime during freshman year, Kathie became

persistent. Very persistent. So one day Jess just had enough and she

blurted out that she had a boyfriend that’s studying in another

school. She fooled Kathie for some time, but as time passed the

blonde became convinced that she was just making up her

‘imaginary boyfriend’.

Jess sighed in relief when lunch time came. She was starving and

she needed to eat. Now. When she came and sat down by a lunch

table she found her group of friends sitting there and already

eating. Well let the introduction begin! First is Tom. He had brown

hair and light brown eyes that shone with happiness. He was the

loudest and most stupid of their group and absolutely adored sweet

things. Next is Rika, Tom’s girlfriend. How did they get together was

a wonder to everyone. Rika had waist-length midnight-blue hair

and pale gray eyes, almost white. She was the most shy of the

group. After that is Kathie’s boyfriend Eliot. Another wonder.

He’s…well…there are only two things that describe him perfectly:

LAZY and SMART. A strange combination don’t you think? If that

guy did not have to eat and study he would ALWAYS sleep.

12

ALWAYS. Well until Kathie wakes him with a smack behind the

head. They sat at the table and Kathie started to talk about a new

transfer student. “Oh my god guys! He was so cool! Well not as cool

as my Eliot, but still cool. He got half of the female population on

his first day! Isn’t that amazing?” Kathie started again. The

occupants of their table groaned.”Please make her stop!” Whined

Tom as Rika agreed with him.”You know as much as I do that she

won’t stop when she’s gushing about a supposed-cool guy. This is

Kathie we’re talking about.” Jess pointed out.

“What’s that supposed to mean, Jess?” Asked Kat.

“It means what you want it to mean, Kat”

“At least I show interest in guys. If I did not know any better, I’d say

you swing that way.” Kat said. At this some of the people coughed

in shock.

“Holy crap..it’s not like that, is it Jess?” Asked Tom.

“What?! Of course it’s not like that! I told you guys that I have a

boyfriend!” Jess yelled. “And he’s not imaginary!” Confirmed Jess.

The group calmed down after that, and of course Kat continued

with her story about the new student. “Well also his name is-“ But

before Kathie could finish her statement, several deafening screams

interrupted her.

All of the people looked at the café doors. There stood a

handsome boy with black hair and very mesmerizing obsidian eyes.

“Well that’s him alright. His name’s Alex Moon. So, what do you

think, Jess?” Kat turned only to find an empty seat. “What the

hell?” Kat asked.

“ALEX!!!” Jess shouted as she hugged the surprised, but happy boy.

13

“Hey Jess! Long time, no see. So, how’s my beautiful girlfriend been

doing?” Asked Alex.

“GIRLFRIEND!!!!” Shouted the whole group.

“Yeah, Alex’s my boyfriend! See! I told you he’s not imaginary!”

Said a grinning Alex.

Kathie was never going to doubt her best friend again. NEVER.

The SST – the secret society of trees

Opening scene: radio turns on and the news start, the reporter is talking about quiet protests in the forest. A hand reaches to the radio and turns it off. The man gets up and yawns. He stands and goes to his kitchen and starts making coffee. The coffee machine dings that the coffee is done, the man takes it and sits down to drink it, while

17

checking his phone for new messages. He gets up and leaves the half drunk coffee on the table and gets dressed for work and he leaves the house. He gets into his car, looks at his watch and sees that he is late, so he immediately leaves. After a long drive he arrives at his work place. A little shack in the forest. He gets in, sits down and opens a blueprint of a shopping Mall. After some corrections on the plan, he goes outside and gives it to the head builder, saying: “The plan is finished, you and your men can start working immediately”. The head builder replies: “OK”, and gives a signal to his men to start working. The workers get in their vehicles and start putting down trees to clear space for the boundaries of the Mall. The men work the whole day and tons of wood falls to the ground. A worker, who is smoking, throws his cigarette out through the window of the vehicle, but the cigarette somehow starts a little forest fire. They managed to put it out, before it could spread. They continue to litter the forest. The day finish and everyone heads home. Everyone is gone from the forest and it is very quiet. One of the trees opens its eyes and speaks: “It’s clear, they left, its safe to come out now”, and every single tree in that forest opens its eyes. The whole forest is awoken. The elder trees gather in a circle: “The secret society of trees can begin” says the father tree. They start talking about the humans and their destructive economy. The youngest tree in the elder circle start to defend the humans and says: “But they also have organizations that protect us and our rights”, “The humans cannot be trusted, they are a force of destruction” replies the father tree. A young tree speaks: “Why don’t we show ourselves to them?”, “Humans aren’t ready for us, don’t speak out of place, young one” says a tree from the elder circle. The young tree continues: “We have to show ourselves, we have to do to them, what they do to us now”, a lot of trees agree on that argument. “ENOUGH” yells the father tree. The trees continue arguing about this until the end of the meeting. The young tree gathers the trees that support his idea. The group of trees get up, pick up their roots and start walking towards the town. They enter the little nearby town, some humans can see them, others take their phones and film the incredible phenomenon. The group of trees iss

18

shouting “RIOT, RIOT”, “Stop destroying our home”, “Its time you face us, its time you PAY”. They rampage through the town, jumping on cars and kicking everything in there path. Left and right humans start screaming in fear and panic. The riots continue for several days, until the police and military show up. They open fire at the trees. No one stands to protect the trees and no tree has a chance against the humans’ fire power. Some fall and some manage to run back to the forest. “What happened, young one?” asks the father tree. “They attacked us and no one helped us” replies the young tree. “I saw so many of you leave the forest that night, where are they?” asks the father tree. “ We lost them in the struggle to get back here” answers the young tree. “I told you humans aren’t ready for us yet, be patient, young one, they will some day” the father tree wisely says. “I understand that now, I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you, father”. To conceal the riots, the government says, that it was a mass hallucination and they ban building anything in that forest. The trees fall asleep once more in peace, for now. Until we disturb them again. Iliyan – 11th grade
