The Unremarkable Life of Alva Stanhope
When Tabitha Stanhope told her husband she was pregnant, it took him all of three seconds to decide that they were not going to find out the sex of the baby until it was born.

She went through her pregnancy with Ray at her side, and on the day the baby was born, Ray found himself in a hospital waiting room picking out snacks for his wife as she went into labor.Next to him at the vending machine was a woman named Freida Clarion waiting for her ni...

Mrs. Harui is my science teacher, and today we were going to the science center. I’m ok with science, but it's not my favourite subject ever. My name is Beatrice, and my friends and I are the exact same (kind of). Rea likes art, just like I do.

So we basically did everything together, and I was devastated when we were all sepa...
