Those two weeks in May, those days you’d be over all day, we’d lay in my bed and watch Scooby Doo, I’d play with your hair while our heartbeats synced, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the sin of your hands on my skin, I didn’t want to admit it then knowing if I did that would be the end, I was right, loving you was the best mistake of my life, I loved loving you, because it was you, you were the prettiest boy I’d ever met and I knew that you had a good heart. All of my walls were down, the guard off on some faraway vacation, where he stayed until the end of May. Because that’s all we had those two weeks in May where we were truly happy. Your parents were gone and we were happy no one knew and they weren’t going to. It was just you and me in our make believe. Watching Scooby Doo as our eyelids decreased. And as we near the end of May the guard that was sent away comes back one day. The same day they returned, the same day I lost my flame.
Welcome to the Cardinal Collection! We are the Literary Magazine, and this year we are working with the Newspaper to bring you our magazine! Our magazine is a collection of fictional writing pieces and art submitted by students. Our collection works a little differently than the Newspaper. We accept submissions not just from members of the club, but also from the student body in general! No commitment, no stress, no extra club. This is an easy way to get published! We accept poetry, short stories, excerpts, and art! Scan the QR code or visit the form here to submit your works. You must be logged on to your AACPS email to submit. And if you would like to join our club to help edit and put together the collection, stop by room A233 on Thursdays during Red Week!
