Can you love the sun? Is it possible to love something even though it could burn you? Her name was Akilah Williams. She was the sun of my universe. She was, without a doubt, the smartest girl in school. We’d known each other since elementary school though we didn’t talk much. I guess you could say we didn’t really meet until our freshmen year of high school. I remember it was the day of football t...
Outstanding reviews
I honestly enjoyed this and I don't even like reading

Your story made me smile. Absolutely, loved it! And the part about having Akilah's name as every love interest really makes sense. Whether it's subconscious or conscious, if you have something to say, your story will be all the more stronger for it. Your internal emotion, whether it's fueled by love, curiosity, or any other human quality gives that extra magic to the words on the page.
Myiesha! The Manticore loved this story! We liked the names that you chose for your characters and the metaphor you kept throughout the whole story was impressive, a fresh take on the long told story of someone loving another person from afar. We can't wait to read your other stories. This one deserved every bit of the shortlisting! We bet you'll have a winning story soon. <3
You are amazing at this!! I loved this story. You described perfectly how the main character felt and sketched so perfectly the setting and reaction of the other characters!!! I am looking forward to reading more of your stories!!!
You are too kind! :-D Thank you so much!
love it!
Thank you! :)
This was so beautiful and exceptionally well written, I love the theme of loving from afar, but realizing the only way to feel the suns warmth is to get close enough you might get burnt, and then drawing on how loving from afar affected the other person was amazing- loved it!
Excellant!! A very enjoyable read...
EVERY CHILDHOOD LOVE STORY SHOULD BE LIKE THIS. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED THIS STORY.
EVERY CHILDHOOD LOVE STORY SHOULD BE LIKE THIS. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED THIS STORY.
O.M.G! I started reading this and I was just wondering about the end. Saying to myself "There is no way this story could get any better".It got better!!!!I am in shock about how much I loved this story. I have passed it a couple times when looking for an interesting story, and I finally decided to read it. That is the best decision's I've ever made. Wonderful job!
Hey Maya, I really liked this story. I am a Voice Actor and I wanted to know if it was okay if I recorded about a minute or 2 of your story for my instagram page? I would of course, let everyone know your name and where they can come to read your story.
I honestly loved every lil bit of this story !!!!! The few interactions between Josh & Akilah .. were soo adorable and cute .. I seriously loved how you compared sun to Love .. and break-up to being burnt Would love to see more of your work :)
This is so cute! I love it!! Really well written!
Great Story!
What a sweet romantic story!! The writing is beautiful. I wonder if I can use it tomorrow. I'm subbing mostly African American 7th & 8th graders, and I'm looking for short stories that they might relate to.
This was a very well-written story. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, I liked the way you stated little details that were said at the start of the story to close it off. I would’ve loved to see one or two of the stories where Joshua wrote more about Akilah. However, it was a really good story!
Loved, loved, loved it!!!!
This had me grinning so much. Such a sweet and lovely story! I really enjoy this style of storytelling and how it all comes together is perfect.
Awesome!
Great story. Introduced the characters very well so the reader has a good idea of who they are. Like Joshua is dedicated and Akilah is very caring. Very well-written metaphors as well. Like the sun metaphor that starts from the start to the end.
