《The Nerd who cried Bad Boy》sixty three
Advertisement
I was dressed in my swim gear and the boys were too. We went on the water rides, before we got late and while it was still warm.
It was more fun compared the other rides. We had slid in water tubes in circular motion until we landed in a pool. We relaxed in the pool for a short amount of time, telling stories and jokes.
"So this so guy said to this chick, 'Let me wipe your seat for you' and then he wiped his face," Erik explained and the boys chuckled.
I shook my head then looked at Ian who was engaged in Erik's conversation. "Hey, Ian," I whispered, calling him. He looked at me and swam to me.
"Do you want to prank Xavier?" I asked and Ian smirked.
"What do I have to do?" he said.
"Just pull him under the water." Ian nodded, then swiftly dived into the water. I looked at Xavier then saw Ian grab hold of Xavier's leg then pull him. Xavier screamed and then looked down at Ian. He laughed,"Ian, you bitch."
Going on more water slides, water showers and more, we then dressed into our clothes after drying ourselves but my hair was still wet. I tied it in a messy bun then we left.
It was crowded than before and more people started showing up.
I bumped into someone and I turned around, seeing that I had bumped into a little adorable girls and I had accidentally dropped their ice-cream. She frowned then looked at me,"You dropped my ice-cream," she said almost in tears.
I crouched down to her level,"No, no, don't cry. I'll buy you ice-cream. I'll buy you a new one."
The girl nodded and I held her hand. I looked around for Marcus but I couldn't find him and the gang. I silently cursed to myself then gave up. I asked the girl where she bought the ice-cream from and she showed me the way.
Ice-cream delights!
Was the first thing I was when I knew that was where she bought here ice-cream. It was a pink stand. I stood with the girl and greeted the lady who sold ice-cream.
"Hi," I greeted her and she smiled back. "What ice-cream flavour would you like?" I asked the little girl.
"Strawberry," she replied and I repeated it to the lady. She scooped the strawberry flavoured ice-cream and put it in the cone. I took it and paid the lady. I gave the ice-cream to her and she thanked me.
"Where's your mommy?" I asked her and she looked at me and rushed to a
purple tent. I followed her, concerned for her safety. She entered the purple tent and I paused outside the tent, looking around before walking in.
It was dark and there was a old looking lady who wore too many jewelry and had eyeliner on. She sat at the table with a crystal ball on the table. Two people were standing opposite her and were staring into the crystal ball.

The two people turned around and I saw it was Sam and Kendall. I smiled, suddenly relieved I found them. The little girl ran to the lady who I assumed was a fortune teller. "Thank you," the fortune teller said and handed the little girl five dollars. She nodded and smiled at me before leaving.
"What? What... did she--" I asked then was silenced when the fortune teller nodded.
"I asked the little girl to bring you me," she said. "She's my niece."
I furrowed my eyebrows and looked Sam and Kendall.
"Why do you want me here?" I asked, suddenly feeling a bit freaked out. She sighed and looked at Kendall then looked at me.
"Sam, I need you to search for your friends," the fortune teller said.
"Why?" Sam and Kendall asked simultaneously.
"I want to speak to Alyssa and Kendall in privacy," she said and Sam sighed, getting up from his seat. He looked at me and Sam, smiling before leaving.
"Have a seat, Alyssa," she said and a chill ran down my spine. The fact that she knew my name gave me the chills unless Sam and Kendall had told her. I sat down on the wooden chair and looked at Kendall who also looked nevrous and confused.
"May I ask... who are you?" Kendall asked.
The fortune teller stared at the crystal ball then looked at Kendall,"I am Ruby. A fortune teller as you may or may not know."
"Why are we here?" I asked.
"Why do you only want us here?" Kendall added.
Ruby looked at us. "You both are best friends right?"
Kendall and I nodded,"Yeah."
"Kendall you are currently in a relationship with your ex, and Alyssa you're in a relationship with Marcus Sawyer... am I right?" Ruby stated and my mouth dropped open.
"How do you know all this?" I asked.
"I see it," Ruby replied, staring into the crystal ball.
"In there?" Kendall asked, staring into the crystal ball and like me, he saw nothing. "She probably stalked us or something," Kendall whispered and I chuckled.
"I do not stalk anyone. The crystal ball shows me all I need to see," Ruby said slowly, her voice soothing.
"Okay, but why did you send that little girl to bring me to you?" I asked.
"And why do I have to be here?"
Ruby finally put all her attention to us. "You two will face a problem that'll both change your lives. Your best mistake... something you two will describe as later on."
"What?" Kendall furrowed his eyebrows. "What problem?"
"Best mistake?" I repeated. "What do you mean?"
"Put your right hands on the crystal ball," Ruby instructed. Kendall and I looked at eachother before we shrugged and slowly reached our right hands on we placed it on the crystal ball.
"Close your eyes."
We shut our eyes.
"Take in a deep breath."
I took in a deep breath but then pulled my hand away from the crystal ball feeling my head feel weird. Kendall looked at me,"Alyssa, let's just do it so we can get this over and done with."

I repeated my actions, this time not pulling away. I breathed in deeply then saw images in my head.
Me walking down the aisle, wearing a white dress and a bouquet of flowers in hand. Marcus was standing by the priest waiting for me with the biggest smile on his face.
I was getting married to Marcus!
But I didn't look happy. Something was bothering me. I was then standing in front of Marcus and I heard him say "I do". The priest asked me the question but I didn't reply, instead I looked at Kendall who was at my wedding.
Suddenly everything cleared away, returning to darkness before I saw myself falling on a bed and Marcus kissing me hungrily, me pulling him closer. We were doing intimate stuff that had made us sweaty.
But then when I saw myself naked, straddling Marcus naked.
Wait... it wasn't Marcus.
It was Kendall.
I quickly pulled my hand away from the crystal ball and stared at the crystal ball in shock. I was in tears, I looked at Ruby who had an apologetic smile on her face. I slowly turned to Kendall who was also in shock.
"What was that?" he asked Ruby. "Some porn video you made us see?"
Ruby shook her head,"Unfortunately I don't know what you saw because it is between you two. And whatever you saw... you can not stop."
"What?" I repeated. "Was that our future?"
Ruby nodded.
Kendall and I turned eachother, then I stood up. "Bullshit," Kendall and I murmured. "You want us to pay you for showing us bullshit?"
Ruby slowly shook her head,"What the crystal ball showed you was your future. A warning. You cannot stop the future from happening--"
Sam entered the tent and saw us. Ruby had immediately stopped talking and continued staring at the crystal ball. "Everyone's waiting outside by the ice-cream stand," Sam said and froze when he saw me. "What happened?" he asked me
I looked at Kendall before shaking my head and muttering,"Nothing."
I left the tent and quickly wiped my tears. I bumped into Marcus and he looked at me, his face filled with worry. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," I said, trying to act normal. Although I didn't believe the crystal ball has shown was going to happen but the fact that the crystal ball made us think that creeped me out.
Marcus stared at me for a second before smiling making me smile. "There's the smile I know and love," he said,"Come on, let's go on stage. Weakshit is about to finish his lame song."
Just forget about it, Alyssa!
Marcus held my hand and led me into the crowd, we pushed through and it took time until we made to the front. We climbed on stage and Wesley looked at us, pausing from his performance. "Oh my God, not you two," he said.
"Don't worry, we won't be long," Marcus said and Wesley gave him the microphone.
As the security guards were about to go on stage to remove us, Wesley stopped them. "It's okay, let them perform." Wesley had said and I smiled then looked at the cheering crowd.
"Marcus! Marcus! Marcus!"
"Alyssa! Alyssa! Alyssa!"
Marcus grinned then looked me. "Hi everyone, it's Marcus again."
Screams and more cheers.
"Hey, Marcus, what are you going to sing?" some person asked and Marcus shrugged. "I don't kn--"
Suddenly someone started beating drums and I turned around and saw it was Xavier. He winked at me and some instruments were played by the people who were already on stage and were supposed to play for Wesley.
I recognised the instrumentals were the same as "ME!" by Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
"Three, two, one! Yeah!"
"I promise that you'll never find another like me," I sang into the microphone then looked at Marcus when the crowd cheered. "I know that I'm a handful baby, uh
I know I never think before I jump
And you're the kind of guy the ladies want
(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And trouble's gonna follow where I go
(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll when it comes to a lover
I promise that you'll never find another like me-e-e-eh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the only one of me
Baby that's the fun of me-e-e-eh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're the only one of you
Baby that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e-eh."
Marcus started singing Brendon's part and everyone cheered, singing with. We had fun and danced with eachother as we sang. Suddenly glitter sprayed on us as we were about to finish the song.
"Strike the band up 1, 2, 3
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You can't spell "awesome" without "me"
You're the only one of you
Baby that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e-eh!" We finished and I hugged Marcus while the audience clapped and cheered for us.
I kissed Marcus and then looked at the audience, I threw a fist in the air. "I love you," Marcus mouthed and kissed me.
"I love you too," I said and hugged him tightly. I saw the gang smiling and also clapping for us.
Then I spotted someone from the gang.
Kendall.
Something about that "vision" that Ruby made me see made me think this was not over. This was not the happy ending I thought it was going to be. A happy ending doesn't end with the person feeling scared for the future...
I thought while I stared at Kendall from the crowd...
Then eyes slowly drifted to meet someone else's.
Dark ones filled with anger... hate... vengeful.
Jason.
My breath hitched as everything became slow, the cheering fainting at the background. He slowly smirked and turned around, immediately disappearing into the crowd.
This was not over.
It was just the beginning.

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.
