Its time to judge!

omigoodnessimsosorryimsolateahhhh well, here are the results. finally. XD

Honorable Mention(s):

In no particular order:

Morning!

You showed how boring it is to be shut up in the same place all the time with no one for company except your twin sister. But I could also relate to this one a lot. In quarantine I've had to deal with my brother way more than usual and that's kind of a similar relationship to the one you write about. The exasperated sighing, the ignoring, and the annoyed frowns. I really enjoyed this one!

Princess Juniper!

You conveyed so well the monotony of being shut up in a castle with no escape. But you also showed the relationship between the two sisters and a little bit of their personalities. Great job!

Third Place:

Rainbow Riot! 

Your sentences have a great hook- I want to keep readiang. I want to know what happens next. I want to know why Blue is so desperate for that treasure. I want to know what he thinks makes it worth shaking on a deal that probably won't even end up working. It raises so many questions and makes me want to kep reading, something very important in a first sentence. *applause*

Second Place:

HeroesOfOlympus!

I loved this one so much! These sentences set the scene for a very interesting relationship between the characters, and a very very very interesting reaction from Blue. That brings me to another point- ever since reading the Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley I've been kind of obsessed with first sentences that don't reveal the characters' names. You didn't reveal anyone's names- and if I didn't know already, I'd keep reading for lots of reasons, one of which definitely being to figure out what the characters' names are. Amazing work!

First Place:

Bakerloo! 

OH MY GOODNESS. This sentence(s) makes you think, it makes you want to keep reading, and it makes you wonder. Who's the thief? What are the characters lying about? How was everything revealed to be a lie? But also, on the more philosophical side: if you've been lied to your whole life... does that make it okay to lie to someone else? Is okay to lie to someone who's a liar as well? Honestly, I'm still thinking about this question right now. Congratulations! 

Thanks so much for mentioning me!!

I...uh...wow! This was unexpected! Thank you so much, Lumi -- This was a pleasant surprise.

Question: because I won first, do I make up the next writing prompt? 

Hello, CBers! Here's the prompt for the next round...

Jackson and Parker Mallory have almost never spoken to each other, even though they're cousins. Their family has been torn apart by an ancient feud between brothers Thomas and Quinton dating back to the founding of the town of Cape Lagelead. Ever since then, Cape Lagelead has been struck with terrible misfortune. When Parker encounters a mysterious force in an abandoned lot, she's roped into an investigation of Cape Lagelead's bad luck led by her aunt Jacqulyn. Jackson is soon roped into this investigation as well, and together, the group discovers Cape Lagelead's haunting past. An elaborate plot is uncovered, involving ghosts, witches, the afterlife, and a mysterious woman. Will Jackson, Parker, and Jacquelyn be able to discover Cape Lagelead's secret? Will Jackson and Parker's forbidden friendship be found out? Is Cape Lagelead doomed forever?

Phew, that was long... Anyway...

Like with the last round, you get two sentences. Good luck, everybody! Get writing!

Ummmm so I'm just gonna go with telling it from Parker's point of view.

Parker looked around nervously, the sun shining on her face as she thought, This is just a normaal day. Of course it's a normal day, why wouoldn't it be a normal day? 

The boy standing before me was supposedly my cousin, and supposedly, he was smart and would help us. He had on askew glasses, was built as frail as a twig, and didn't look like he could figure out anything, certainly not some ancient mystery.

From Jackson's perspective:

The only memory I have of Parker was seen through the bright eyes of a seven year old, laughing while spinning in the wind, with her as a blur of golden hair and smiles beside me. It's hard to match that vision with the girl in front of me now, with scared eyes and so much dirt in her hair that I can hardly tell it's blonde, shaking and looking over her shoulder as she begs me for help.

Sorry if this is a bit too long. Also sorry that I gave aunt Jaqualyne a nickname. Here is my first sencence, which is more like my first few paragraphs: 

The door slams shut behind me and I jump. I see a tall figure in the hallway and seconds after I am pulled into a choking hug.

"Aunt Jacky?" I ask, startled by my aunts sudden apperence. But then that should be expected. She is Jaqualyne aka Jacky, who is probably the weirdest person on earth.   

Parker raced into her house and dumped her bag on the floor. She had a bad day at school thanks to Charlotte Baker, all day she had been bragging about how much fun she had in Cuba with her cousins. Then someone asked Parker what her cousins were like ad when she said they had barely ever spoken Charlotte started making fun of her and on top of that she had this sense pf dread hanging over her.

Wow that was long!!
