《Heroes Of 21st century !》Chapter 9: The Fruitcake Knows Nothing!

"So that girl took you to their base?" Cerys asked me to which I simply nodded.We were walking down the streets to her home,
"Are you retarded!,you just saw her kill those terrorist and later simply followed her to some cave in some jungle?" she said hitting me at the back of my head,
"Ouch,I had two very dangerous criminals with me and I thought they may have a place to put them which they did",
"Which reminds me" she hit me at back of my head again,
"Ouch what the hell that was for?",
"What in the name of god were you thinking taking those terrorists off with you?Where were you gonna keep them in your basement?" to this question I just kept silent to which she looked at me in disbelief.
"You were actually going to...." this time when she took a swing I ducked,
"Enough with the hitting already!,we are not kids anymore.I can go where I want and do what I want.",
"Yeah right! like that time you were about to walk off with that con man in sixth grade?",
"That.......he told me he was from my fathers office",
"If it weren't for me calling out my brother who knows what may have happned!" she let out a chuckle.Every time somehting like happen she would covver her face with her hand while her eyes gave that 'thats so you' look which really pisses me off!,not as much that scary calm smile of hers she got from her mother but god dame its irritating.
"Sorry but admit it,if it weren't for me you would have gotten scamed every now and then" she said while covering that big grin on her face with those long sleves and looking at me through her glasses with that same irritating look,
"Well kepping aside the reasons I have been doing fine in these past 2 years haven't I?",
"Yeah going god knows where after school,returning to home late,giving your parents some vague excuses! you may happen to be slow but they aren't simmon."as we had reached her apartment she turned and said "They know.",

"Know what?",
"That you were that fool in the white today on T.V" for a momment there I just stood trying to process what she just said while the things about what could go wrong if they knew form my therapy were running through my mind.
"I don't know how they gonna react"she walked up the stairs to the door then turned"but from what I saw today in your home and plus from that ridiculous outfit they would truly be your parents if they didn't notice!" she said while unlocking the door "It is almost identical to that idotic one you were wearing that night!",
"Wait so are you sure the....",
"Well you will find out when you reach home.Tell me about it tommrow on our way school.",
"Yea lets....I will pick you up then we....see you tommrow" as I began to turn,
"Simmon" she called looking at me standing behinde the door,
"Yea?",
"Seeing that you are just as slow as always,me knowing that you are sorry and accepting that sorry are two diffrent things.Think about it on your way home" she shut the door shut while I stood there as I knew what she meant but somehting tells me I didn't.
I hurried my way back still feeling a little funny talking with Cerys like old days after all this time.It wasn't until I was near my block that I started thinking about what if she was right and everyone at my home knows!.I guss being with her again after all this time I went back to the clueless,useless and really slow me from back then but that is somehting I can work with if it means things between us can go back to how they were.....unless what she said at last is not what I think it means.
As I rang the bell my mind was running wild on thoughts of what kind of reaction will my parents have if I just told them everything?.Somehow it sounded preety simple and you know logical but I keep hearing this voice in my head telling me"Don't you fu#$%ng dare!"....but I better leave that for the weekend therapy.

"Ah!,you are finally back" my little brother Brian was the one to open the door."Mom,he is home" he turned around and ran inside,
"Simmon,you are finally back!.You made walked Cerys home" Mom shouted from the kitchen,
"Yes" I walked in closeing the door behinde me,
"It seems you two are talking again" she came out of the kitchen holding a pot,
"Yes I was really shocked to see her here.....are we having a feast?" I asked as I looked at the dinning table,
"Well somehting close to that" Mom went straight back into the kitchen humming,
"What's the occasion?"I asked picking up one of the egg roll,
"What's the occasion?,Cerys came to our home and you are comming back with that stupid grin on your face and you ask me whats the occasi.....put that down and wash up " she said as she brought plates,
"Fine" I put it down and looked around,Anwen and Gracie were watching T.V,
"Is dad not home yet?",
"No,he called and said he will be out of town covering after that terrorist attack from the T.V" she said arranging the plates,
"He will be out of town?" I said with all the negative outcomes she had told me about running through my mind,
"Don't worry! he will be back tommrow morrning.Besides when I told him that Cerys visted he told me to tell you not to mess it up this time!" she stopped her work and looked at me in the eyes,
"I mean it Simmon",
"I know" she smiled at me then told me to go to my room and be ready for dinner soon.
When I went inside my room Brian was there sitting on my bed.
"What's going on?"he asked while glaring at me,
"Nothing,I just came in to....",
"When I came home Cerys and mom had been talking about somehting which they stoped seeing me,she didm't ask you about where you have been all this time only to get the same answer that your quack suggested to walk around or some made up shit like that and she did not even overreacted about dad telling her before leaving only at the last second" he smirked and countinued "Between the two of us only one is mentally challenged.So I ask again what is going on?",
Ever since the second roof incident he has been a little rough towards me but having a big brother who has jumped off the roof twice,attends therapy every week and is the odd one at the school.......well I know I can not blame him for it but if he dosen't get rid of that smirk off his face I will beat him up,
"Listen I am already tired so how about you play sherlock somewhere else ok"I said sitting down on a chair,
"Please don't tell me the reason you had been disappearing after school is somehow related to those terorist from T.V!",
"Brian I really love our brotherly chats such as this one but......actually I don't so get out already,GOD!" I went to the washroom as I heard him getting up and moveing towards the door,
"You know you are doing pretty good job at becoming a total fruitcake,don't drag Cerys into it again" as he left I had this funny urge to strangle somehting.
As I was about to leave my room for dinner after freshning up I heard a little beep sound from my bag.
This night keeps getting longer and longer!

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
