Real Heroes Wear Sneakers Bay Area Teen Writers, Volume 1 I felt my heart beating hard in my chest. I had to move. I had to do something. The moon shone through my window, illuminating only a section of my room. The picture frame on my dresser sparkled, catching my eye, as if shocking me into action. I got up, my legs moving mechanically in the direction of my mother's room. Don't tell anyone, I heard your voice repeat over and over. Please. I stopped, my hand resting on the cool, smooth doorknob. I took a deep breath, trying to shake the tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry," I whispered, barely audible to my own ears. I opened the door. - Excerpt from Jamie Altman's "I Promise" Real Heroes Wear Sneakers is the first anthology published for the Bay Area Teen Writers Club, a growing community with over 130 members.
