《The Coach's Daughter》Chapter 13
Advertisement
Lola Greene and Jaden Brown break up after three years together. It's all everyone at school will talk about and is seemingly confirmed by both of their absences.
There's multiple rumors flying around about why it ended: her father never liked him, he was scouted to move to the east coast to play football, they're tired of each other after three whole years. I feel like that last one can't possibly be true. Last time I saw them, they were crazy about each other.
Part of me wonders if I should check up on him simply because I have his number but I know that it's none of my business. It's not like we're really even friends or anything.
He's back on Friday, in time for game day. My dad was worried sick that he wouldn't make it but I knew he would. When I walk into stats, he honestly looks like shit: prominent dark circles, mismatched clothes, grown out scruff. His head is down on the desk and I don't blame him. His breakup is the only thing people have been gossiping about for the past three days.
I take my seat without a word, feeling kind of guilty for not even asking if he's okay but he seems like he just wants to be left alone.
When class is over, he looks up for the first time and gives me a forced smile when we accidentally make eye contact.
"Hey," he greets.
"Hi."
Cricket, cricket.
"Are you... ok?" I ask warily. Wow. I couldn't think of anything else?
He just shrugs.
"Do you want me to send you my notes from when you were gone?" I offer. That's the only thing I can provide right now.
He nods weakly in response and I give him a pressed smile. I don't try to talk to him after that. Sometimes, all someone needs is silence.

I'm walking to my locker after school when I receive my first text from Zack in days.
Don't reply: u must be glad Jaden's back
My eyes roll automatically. Is he still on this? When I see that prick, I'm going to-
"Don't reply?" A voice by my ear sends shivers up my body and Zack smirks at my reaction. "You still didn't change it?"
I step away to maintain a good distance between us as we walk. "It's not going to change," I state.
"You always reply, though," he points out.
I bite my lip. Damnit, he's right.
"Don't worry." I look up at him. "From now on, I won't."
He grins wickedly. "I give you two days before you break," he challenges.
I shake my head. "You think you're so irresistible."
"I mean, if I was a girl, I'd do me."
My top lip curls. "Don't you have something else to do besides fantasizing about yourself?"
He leans down to my face, stopping me in my tracks. "Would you rather I fantasize about you?"
My mind reels, remembering my disturbing thoughts the other night, and I turn to face away from him. "I hate you." I scowl because that's the best response I've got.
"No, you don't," he refutes knowingly and steps in front of me so we're face-to-face. "You like me." That devious glint returns to his eyes and his voice turns silky smooth. "You think about me and don't even know why. You think about me before you fall asleep and even though it kills you, you can't help but smile. In fact, I bet you even dream about me."
I have to stop my jaw from dropping. Is he some kind of mind reader? Maybe he's some kind of vampire who set some kind of spell on me and wants to drink my blood. Didn't Edward read minds in Twilight? Oh my goodness, I must be right.

"You're delusional," I reply way too late.
He simply shrugs as if nothing I can say will change his mind. It probably won't.
"I don't like you," I add, overly aggressive. He gives me a look like he's stifling a smile but drops the subject.
"You coming to the game tonight?" He's still walking with me even though we're going up the stairs towards my locker and away from his.
"It's an away game," is my answer as we approach my locker. AKA no. Not that I would go even if it was a home game.
"Fifteen minutes away," he points out, leaning against the next locker to look at me.
"What, you want me to go with a cutout of your face and paint your initials on my boobs?" I ask sarcastically, looking away from my lock momentarily to give him a look.
He cocks an eyebrow interestedly. "I've heard worse ideas," he drawls.
I clear my throat. "Well, I'm busy," I state while stuffing all of my books into my backpack as if to prove my point.
"Hot date?"
"Yes, actually," I respond sweetly.
He runs his tongue over his teeth, studying me. "Really?" he says in a flat tone. "With who?"
"Laurie Laurence." I zip up my bag and shut my locker with a smile, making sure to spin the lock so the numbers reset.
"Sounds like a chump," he retorts.
"He's beautiful, charming, and has lots of money." Unbothered, I start to walk off.
Zack's face is unimpressed, to say the least. He keeps pace with me."And what castle did you find this guy in?"
"He's a character in Little Women."
Realization dawns on him and he bursts out in laughter. "So your exciting plans are to reread a boring book for the millionth time?"
I cross my arms. "You're only saying that because you haven't read it."
"Well, if you like it, it has to be lame," he says.
"Explains why you think I like you," I say in fake awe. I spot my car and start to search for my keys.
"You do like me," he states. "But you're scared to admit it because you think it's irresponsible. Which is why I need to bring that out of you"
I lean against my car and give him an unimpressed look. "You can try," I say. "The worst thing I've ever done is take a pack of gum from a store when I was six, and that was an accident."
He eyes me as if to say "challenge accepted."
"See you tomorrow," he says with a disparaging smile. I can't help but watch him walk away.

RE: Souls War Apocalyse
When I and every other humans on earth have been summoned to the cursed world of Yvelmore, to serve as a front-line soldier in an impossible war against an invasion of nightmarish creatures, I knew right away that something was going to go wrong. I was right. The war? Hell, we lost it so much all the nations of the world have been destroyed and all the races have disappeared. Me? I was a veteran who survived until the end. Was I strong? Fuck yeah of course I was, except ... it was useless, I died like everybody else. The bad news? When I thought it was finally over, I woke up in the past, the moment I was summoned to the beginning of the war. Come on, seriously? Do I really have to go through all that again? What? And everything restarts every time I die? No... are you fucking kidding me? Right? Genre: Action, Adventure, Medieval Apocalypse, Times Loops, Progression, War & Fantasy, Grimdark, Magic, Horror, LitRPG (but RP). Tone: Despair at the firsts chapters (which makes sense for a story that begins with the end of the world, doesn't it?), and lots of humor and stupid situations after to lighten the tone of the story. (Oh, and the MC is NOT a psychopath, a rapist, a hypocrite, or human garbage, so sorry for those who like that, because I don't like that). Note: Expect this story to contain grammatical errors and occasional random conjugations. I am learning English, and I have made a lot of progress, but I still have some gaps. So if you're allergic to it, don't read this story, you would inevitably be disappointed.
8 183The Greensdale Project
Bone-breaking training, blood-curdling workouts, and no time for the ladies. This was the hell Chase endured for the last few years after his little brother Andre died tragically. Training, that was his life to compensate for his averageness. But when reality hits him like a truck he finally understands that no matter what he will not be powerful enough to equate to the Heroes that guard us. Taking the first step in applying to the Greensdale Project in Arizona to become a Super, but as he learns that superpowers don't make the Super he has to use his wit, strength, and will to push through outside forces and inside ones to enter and graduate from the Greensdale Academy for Supers in Arizona. If he survives that is.
8 216Immortal With A System
Akemi was the most powerful immortal of another world. Why did I say "was"? Oh because he's been reincarnated into the body of a powerless 15 year old high school boy named Lian Xu, after being betrayed by his best friend Toru. Upon waking up into his new body Akemi saw a strange window that called him a "player" that only he can see. Follow Akemi as he is reborn into a new world where Lian Xu has been abandoned, used and mistreated by everyone, a world where the strong are respected and the weak are thrown away, What will Akemi the former immortal do? PS. I'm using the term Immortal as in god/angel this is not a Chinese manhua based story. Please don't be too harsh lol this is my first time actually writing. any advice would be appreciated It does share "Some" similarities to something solo leveling but it's different please understand that as well
