《Ho Hey》XII. He's So Clueless It Hurts
Advertisement
I was giving very obvious hints that I thought he was attractive and that we can go on a date but he didn't pick up what I'm putting down!
~ Karalynn's POV ~
It was lunch time and I've been gushing out every single detail that I have ever heard about Ashton, I didn't even know how much I was talking until Dana told me that I should start eating before lunch ends and that I end up starving, I looked at her and nodded.
"You seem madly in love with the white boy, how about you finish eating and then tell us more about him?"
Isabella told me, I looked at her and smiled before taking a bite out of my dumplings that I bought from the Chinese food place, they always sell the best food and I always feel like marrying whoever makes them.
Dana took upon herself to look around the cafeteria and spot the boy, she got up with a smirk and I looked over at what she's doing and immediately got nervous when she walked over to him.
"What the hell is she doing?!"
Kiana signed to me with a worried look on her face, I shrugged my shoulders and kept staring at my close friend, my heart rate was going up higher than the heavens.
I didn't want her saying something that could embarrass me or even embarrass him, Dana doesn't have the best people skills if you hadn't noticed.
As she sat down beside him, Ashton set his book down and engaged in conversation with Dana, I watched he laughed and looked over at me before waving, I felt my cheeks flush in red and then watched as Dana walked over to me.
I looked at her with an angry look, I thought she had embarrassed me but instead she handed me a small piece of paper and winked at me before sitting down.

"No way in hell, you got his phone number?!"
I freaked out as I got up but then sat back down I didn't want to make a fool out of myself, so I just squealed inside of me and then took my phone out of my bookbag to type in his phone number in my phone.
Then I turned my phone off and put it in my bookbag, I looked over at the table that Ashton was sitting in and already noticed that he was looking at me.
The butterflies in my stomach started immediately, I waited for the lunch period to end so that I could go to chemistry, that was a class that Ashton told me we both shared.
When the bell rang, I got up and grabbed my bookbag before running out of the cafeteria, I was so excited but I needed to tone it down a bit.
I got into the class and walked to the back of the room then sat in the corner near the window, the tables were long enough to have a second person which sparked a little hope that Ashton would sit beside me.
But then again, he probably had another friend in the class and wanted to sit next to them instead of me, I took my notebook out and pulled out my red gel pen, then waited for everyone to arrive.
Keeping my hope and excitement at a minimal when kids started to walk into the classes, I put my earbuds in and began to listen to 'Stan' by Eminem because that song is the vibe when it starts raining which it did.
The rain began in biology class which was third period and it didn't stop but it did slow down, I loved the rain by the way because it always calmed me down.

I doodled a lot on the corners of my page and decided to write my name and the date on the edge of the page so that I didn't leave it for last, that's when a chair was pulled out and someone sat down.
I didn't want to look over that quickly because that would be way too weird, so I just gave myself a five second head start and then looked over at who was sitting beside me.
"Hope you don't mind me sitting here."
I smiled at Ashton and shook my head as I removed my earbuds completely, as we waited for the teacher to come, Ashton and I continued our conversation from the library.
"We can hang out at the diner I work at, everyone's so sweet and the food is really good."
This was me asking him out but not asking him out directly, Ashton looked at me and smiled, but he didn't really understand what I was putting down.
I sighed when he didn't understand what I was saying, I looked at him as he helped me out with some of the work.
I was giving very obvious hints that I thought he was attractive and that we can go on a date but he didn't pick up what I was putting down!
I groaned as I signed to Kiana, we were walking to her house because I didn't want to spend a night at mine, Kiana chuckled and tried to comfort me before telling me that everything would be okay.
What was there to be okay about, I probably made a fool of myself but luckily he didn't understand it.
During last period, Ashton had me message him so he could save my phone number and so that we could talk to one another.
That was sweet of him.

Touch O' Luck (The Old Realms)
A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war. The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something. The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Lure O' War (Ongoing) Wings O' Fate First chapters will be uploaded immediately. After that there will be updates every 3-5 days. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.
8 97Riposte
Noël is known across the city of Portland—and not by choice. Under the care of the richest man in the city and just transferred to a new high school, she's already making close friends... and bitter enemies. A chance encounter on her first day plunges her headfirst into a secret underground tournament. Between suspicious classmates and utter strangers, Noël soon gets a taste for the addictive rush of the duel, but questions of love and trust complicate every move she makes. Cutthroat games with grim consequences await her in a shadowy world of competitors all dueling for the greatest prize imaginable. A new story from Etzoli, that one butterfly who writes things. This is a side-adventure I've written during the pandemic, as I've been having a lot of trouble getting into the correct head-space for writing my main series (The Last Science). Expect some rougher bits. Schedule is sporadic, but this will be a shorter one (closer to Snipe or Epilogue in length). I hope you enjoy it! Full-size cover art [Discord] - come hang out and chat sometime with etzy and other readers!
8 163A Grand Journey
A journey of a lifetime should last a life time. Melphis Hargold would happily spend as much time moving from place to place as possible. It was a simple calling, but quickly becomes not so simple. Mel loved breaking trail, moving away from the beaten route to find something new or interesting. Of course, a very signifcant part of the time that leads to problems as well. But with his class and skills, he should have no problems wandering around to his hearts content. This story has a loose plot, mostly focused on exploring novel locations and the simple pleasures of traveling. If your interested in reading about strange locations and meeting even stranger people, Melphis's travels will not disapoint. The first few chapters will be a bit slow as he goes from place to place without going anywhere too extraordinary. This story will be more of a slow burn tale rather than a fast pace power crawl. I hope you enjoy! Schedule will be Monday, Wednsday, and Friday uploads.

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
