《Abnormal》Chapter 23 Celebration
Advertisement
I gulped, looking down at the trophy, it appears that Bethy had bought a judge.
Basically she paid the judge to give her a good score, a typical rich girl problem.
I looked at my trophy, it had my name on it, I placed it in my locker for safe keeping.
"Hey! Congrats Millie! " Sean hugged me.
"Thanks, I wasn't expecting this at all...." I muttered.
"I know right, you never know what's coming! " He laughed.
Milton was behind Sean, "Congrats."
I smiled, "You're not a bad guy after all."
I didn't really mean it but ok.
Milton looked up and nodded, " Thanks."
Yep, still don't trust him.
"Let's go eat something together today! To celebrate Miss Millie's big success! " Sean said, looking excited.
Milton and I agreed.
"So.....Pizza or burger?"
*************
Milton suggested a restaurant, it had all kinds of food, fast food, beef, salad, and even pizza.
But there was a problem...
Bethy and her little gang of girls were there, not Abby and Collina, other girls from S.T.S.
"7 sets of salad and water please." Bethy ordered from across the restaurant.
I picked a table as far as possible from them.
Me and Sean's mouth was dangling from our jaws.
"WHAT?!" we yelled.
How do they survive in such food related torture?!
"It's normal now days..." The waiter said calmly, taking our orders and writing them down in his pad.
" Roast beef." Sean said.
"Spaghetti and tomato soup." Milton said.
"Mmmmm, a fish burger, coke, fries, onion rings and yeah....That's it." I ordered.
The two boys looked at me.
"What? " I asked.
" Alright, the food will be here in 10 minutes." The waiter said, walking away.
No one talked, there was silence apart from the girls on the other side.

"So, Sean, what made you attend Peri High?" Milton asked.
"Well...something happened in my old school...then I had to transfer." Sean replied.
"I heard your uncle homeschooled you." Milton said.
Sen looked shocked, "How did you know...."
"I have my ways."
Now...this dude is getting real suspicious.
How did he know all these? Could he be.....stalking Sean! I gasped inside my head.
"Is it true that your uncle is Cooper White?" Milton asked.
My eyes widened at this, right, Sean's sir name is white! Stupid, how could I not realise?!
Sean saw my reaction and looked shocked and worried.
"U..uh...yeah." He said, looking at his shoes.
Milton had his full attention on Sean, he didn't take his eye off Sean the whole time.
As if he forgot I was here.
"Milton." I said.
Milton jumped a little.
"Oh.. Millie, sorry, forgot you were here." He said.
Knew it....
" How did you know so much about him?" I asked.
"I just saw his sir name and reminded me of Cooper white, he said he homeschooled his nephew so I asked Sean if it was true." Milton said.
I nodded, "Okay."
But my head was think the exact opposite.
Suspicious, very suspicious, why the hell is he asking Sean why he attended Peri High?!
About Sean, what happened in his old school?
I feel so left out, I know nothing about Sean.
"Right Sean, when's your birthday?" I asked.
"My birthday? September 25th, why?" He said.
" Just asking since after all that, I realised that I know nothing about you." I said honestly.
"Oh, right." Sean said, "Well, I know you were born at April 21th 2003."
"How did you kno----"

"I have my ways." Sean smirked.
Milton turned around to look at Sean.
"What is your old school called? "
"That's a little personal." Sean muttered.
"Milton, why are you asking Sean all these?" I finally asked.
"Dunno, just asking." Milton answered.
SUSPICIOUS! VERY SUSPICIOUS!!!!!!
But I just nodded.
"So where are you from?" Sean asked.
" The west side of Valila Z.X." Milton answered casually.
I stopped what I was doing and listened at what Milton was saying.
"I left because of the incident." He said.
The waiter walked towards us with some plates of food.
"Roast beef, fish burger and spaghetti." He said as he placed the plates in front of us.
Milton continued what he was saying after the waiter left.
"The incident, I suppose you all know." He said, taking his fork from the all the utensils.
"This group H.E.L, a organization that makes experiment on humans was burned down, into ashes, from what I have heard, the base was located in the middle of a forest, apparently, the forest was also burnt down, there was no trace of fire, the investigators stopped investigating as they found nothing, my mother and I moved away from that place ever since that happened."
I started eating my burger, Sean was listening closely to Milton, appearing to be interested in the topic.
"There were three survivors, two girls and one boy, the boy appeared to be one of the test subjects, the other two.... Dunno where there went of who they are, but the polices are still searching." Milton said, after that, he started eating his spaghetti.
Sean looked at his food like he just realised it was there, he cutted the meat in pieces and began eating.
"Yeah, and that's it, how about you two?" He asked.
" Milando." Sean said.
" Perizanda, where me and Sean's school is." I lied.
Milton nodded and said no more.
"Let's not talk about these kind of stuff, how about we talk about school? " Sean said, breaking the silence.
"Sure." I said.
"How are your grades? " Milton asked me, "I already know Sean's."
"Mine? Did Sean not tell you?"
Milton shaked his head.
Sean pressed his lips into a thin line, "she's a straight A+ student."
Milton nodded, "Impressive."
"Yeah except I accidentally tripped on a long jump and got a B. " I said.
Sean gasped, "You?! Got a B?!"
"It was an accident ok?" I quickly added.
"It was good enough, I got a B-." Milton said.
"I got an A! " Sean said proudly.
I clapped my hand, "Congrats bro." this boy finally got an A.
Then, it was silence, again.
"I'm going to the toilet." A girl from the other side of the restaurant said.
"Me too."
"Me three."
"Me four."
"Me five."
"Me six."
"Me seven."
All the girls stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Sean shaked his head, "I don't get why girls go to the toilet together."
I sighed, "It's common sense, really."
Sean raised his brow at me.
"Hermione Granger in Harry Potter went to the toilet alone and got attacked by a troll." I continued.
Me and Sean laughed at that.
Milton had no expression on his face, he just nodded.
Weird guy, we all agree what I just said is funny....right?

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

Bleached Nightmare
500 years into the future, technological progress has stagnated. Wracked by a series of problems like climate change, lack of resources and the innate human lust for war, the geopolitical landscape of planet Earth is radically different, and quality of life is far from what it was in the past. While technical development and research into realistically feasible space travel has made leaps and bounds, this has come at the cost of a world that is reeling from centuries of technical stagnation in other aspects of life. The establishment of a mining colony on Mars has led to the discovery of a new, rare material called sarinium; though it is extremely tensile and durable, it has a very low melting point. The discovery of this metal leads to large mechanical infantry- dubbed 'Spirit Striders', they are six to ten meters tall and as famed for the pride they provide a nation as they are a lethally mobile heavy weapons platform. The story follows the character of Marilin, who must both figure the enigma that is her past, and what this means for her allegiances in the future. Despite her genetically physical frailty, she seeks to gain power through a vessel that will channel her wish to change the world- the Spirit Strider. --- I hope you all enjoy my work. This is a story that I began writing over four years ago in my beginning years of high school, and have cast aside unfinished in the past two years. Though it is not up to my current standards, I hope you all may find some enjoyment in it. Happy reading.

The Titanic Fanatic
John Doe is a relatively intelligent high school junior. He is in all the super advanced classes, gets straight A's, and to top it off, he is pretty lazy as well. However, he is quite cocky about it and has the physical strength to back it up. Needless to say, he is the target of lots of jealousy in school. No one dares to bully him, because THAT is more or less a metaphorical death wish, but he is the center of lots of gossip and attention. He has a good life. Fortunately for John, his school is the largest in the world and so there were still many students who didn't know about him to annoy him. Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives. This student will show John something that will change his life forever... **No, this is not a romance(yet at least) and the "certain student" is a guy lol so don't get any ideas** Author's Message: Hey, everyone.

This story is based on Greek Mythology but I will make up and change a lot of it however I want(note the "based"). This is my first story and I am very busy(I'm a high school junior like John lol) so I will have lots of writer's block and erratic updates. Content Warning-Keeping those tags just in case as this probably won't be a baby friendly story(jk babies r kewl, just not here)-
