What the hell just... happened?
I couldn't believe my eyes that I had just seen Ethan get punched in the face and fall on the ground.
The guy who'd punched Ethan was coming towards me and I just froze. He looked angry. I couldn’t stop staring at his face.
He made eye contact with me for like 2 seconds.
He was the first guy whom I had looked right in the eyes. He pushed me away and walked out.
Ethan was looking at me and I was just standing still.
Should I say something? 'Its alright, I didn't see anything.' No, he'd be mad at me.
I bit my lips, looking at my feet and then walked back to my classroom.
Canteen-
Stace was eating her burger peacefully when I spoke,” Well, I had made up my mind to talk to him.”
“Really?” she asked,” When are you going to?”
“I don’t think I will anymore."
"Why's that?" She questioned.
"I went there today and saw a guy punch him. The way he looked at me was as if he didn’t want to see me anymore. He must be embarrassed.” I told her.
“Hang on, someone punched him?” she asked, putting her burger down in the plate.
“Yeah, a guy who seemed younger than Ethan.” I answered and she unlocked her phone and started swiping aggressively.
“Is this him?” she showed me a picture on her phone and I nodded.
“I knew it! That’s Edwin, Ethan’s younger brother.” She said,” Sometimes I want to beat him but I just can’t dare to.”
“Wait, his younger brother punched him and he didn’t do anything?” I asked.
“Ethan can never hit anyone, then hitting Edwin is just impossible.” She sighed.

“Why did Edwin hit him…” I uttered.
“Who knows?” she rolled her eyes.
I couldn’t talk to him for days. I was afraid he might ignore me, although he wasn’t that kind of a person. He didn’t do lives or upload videos for a week. His 380K followers were going crazy and many started unsubscribing his channel. He acted like himself in school but something was bothering him.
Was he too hurt because of what his brother did?
11th November
I woke up cheerfully and got ready for school before time.
“What’s gotten into you?” mom laughed.
“It’s my friend’s birthday.” I said.
It was Ethan’s birthday that day and I had decided to start our conversation by wishing him. Who would be mad on their birthday?
“Your dad will take us shopping today so don’t go to cram school okay?” mom asked.
“I’ll be back early then. Bye, mom!” I left for school.

8 182Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!

8 196Stoned is Angel's Grace
People believe in what they can see. They believe that all Weeping Angels are bad and they just want more years lost to feed from. Well you are correct, except there is one exception. Because Weeping Angels can think and feel. You see, I'll go back to the original statement. People believe in what they can see. They see Weeping Angels as aliens, but they're not. While they are from another dimension, they're not an alien life form. But instead they are a Heavenly one. A celestial being wrapped in stone. They are the very divine power of God who had been struck down and their Grace turned to stone in order to preserve itself.The thing is, Sam has to figure this out on his own.
