THIS IS ANOTHER NEW BLOG POST.

DIDN'T you say you'd be on hiatus?

Yes–

THEN WHY ARE YOU POSTING?!!

Okay, okay. I hear you. Now, hear me out.

Because I'm on hiatus, I am making posts while I can before being away for like three months or so. NOW THAT I'VE EXPLAINED, DON'T KILL ME!!!!!!

On to the actual topic~

ANOTHER SHORT STORY BASED ON A PHRASE!

If you don't know what that is, look at my other post, titled (creatively) THIS IS A NEW POST. (<---there it is)

AND THE PHRASE IS...

[monochrome] [location]

...Okay.

LET'S START!

•••

Every day I walk down to my monochrome location.

Nothing has changed for the past six years.

I work a monochrome job in a monochrome location with my monochrome colleagues.

But today, I have this feeling that something's different. And trust me, my instinct knows well if something's different in this monochrome town with my monochrome location and monochrome people.

I think this change... is colour.

•••

These monochrome people are chatting away. What about? I guess I'll find out when I get my monochrome newspaper.

The amount of steps I need to take to get to my monochrome location is exactly five hundred and fifty-seven. Yet, as I took my five hundred and fifty-sixth, I looked up to see exactly what I thought; colour. 

 Emerald green, to be exact.

An emerald green coat and an emerald green beret and emerald green boots and beautiful, emerald green eyes.

Green walked up to me and shook my hand. "Hi, I'm Rebecca Pennington. You are Jonathan Parrish?" Her lips smile with her emerald green eyes.

 I snapped out of my small trance and nodded politely whilst pulling a little grin.

"Yes. Why have you come to see me?" I questioned, curiously.

"Oh, I work here now." Green told me. Joy laced her voice.

•••

Green was constantly looking at me. Which means that I was constantly blushing.

What are you doing to me, I mentally asked her.

 "Hey, Jonathan," Green came up to my desk. I looked up at her. "Shall we go for dinner? I'm starving."

"O-okay." I replied, quite shocked that she'd ask me.

 •••

 Long story short, it's been a couple months since Green and I have started dating. She adds so much more to this monotonous town.

And I want her to be mine.

She's coming over to my apartment at eight for dinner. I'm going to ask her to be girlfriend.

Tonight.

•••

Green steps into my house. "Hey Jonathan–"

I pull her into a kiss before she could even say anything.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I study her face. She's shocked, taken aback. What did I do wrong?

"I-I'm not ready. Sorry."

And just like that, the colour walks out of my monochrome life.

THE END.

I think I like the first one better. :/ Sorry I made this romance, the other one wasn't so I thought this one had to be romance. But I have an idea of a more action-themed one with the same phrase. Let me know if you want me to post that too :)

'Til next time.

200th Post

By Anonymous -
Everyone likes posting.  I think our most committed blogger is Jessica Gan, closely followed by A Peculiar Sort Of Author, then Beyourself_Xy, Elliethatnerd, Awesomeness Burrito (Who only has 11 posts), Xuan Pan, Tiff_Awesomeness, Ada Lee, and Annie Jakes-McKay. I want to say thank you to all of our readers and commenters, people who subscribe and laugh, and most of all, I want to thank my fellow bloggers for making this blog an enjoyable atmosphere. I just want you bloggers to know: Milestones are not resting places. It means, once we have reached 200 posts, we don't have to stop! And readers, if you count all of our posts, and realise that there are less than 200, I'm counting drafts as well.  Hahaha!  ðŸ˜ˆ  ðŸ˜¡ ! I dare not post this afterwards, because someone else will post the 200th and it won't be this post. This post is kind of bad. I really want to thank everyone for their support, and everything!

I Have No Idea What To Name This Post

By Anonymous -
The mist hung over us like a blanket, it's cold fingers probing the goosebumps on our arms.  Clumps of heather stuck out of the ground.  I was furiously polishing my glasses; the vision through them was distorted and unclear.  The mist, again, the heavy atmosphere it created, digging into my thoughts no matter how I tried to remove it. Having already shouted myself hoarse, I curled up into a tiny ball, pretending I was in the warmth of my cosy and comfortable home. The girl looked so helpless, unable to rise from the earth.  The mist was relentlessly pelting against us, so I felt the need to help her. A form appeared out of the swirling mist.  It seemed ten feet tall, but I'm sure it was anything but.  The form bent over me, I could now see that it was about my height.  Still, I couldn't help but cringe away from anyone touching me.  I can't remember the last time I let someone willingly touch me.  It seemed like such a long time ago.  It was such a long time ago.

How to study smart

What is studying smart? Studying smart doesn't mean studying hard, it means that you make the most use of your time, and get the most out of it.   There are many ways to make the most use of your study time. Here are a few tips and tricks of how to study smart: You have to have at least 8 hours of sleep   Sleep is incredibly important. Without 8 hours of sleep or more, your body wouldn't function properly during the day. You will feel sluggish, and very sleepy. However, if you are one of those people who can sleep for less than 8 hours and you don't feel any of those things, you are welcome to sleep for less than 8 hours. The view in front of you when you study should be a plain colour  I don't know about you, but, I simply cannot study when there are very bright colours, or lively patters in front of me when I study. It is better to have a plain white, yellow or blue wall in front of you and not any bright colour that can disturb you, like, bright
