《What's Really Hood》ELEVEN
Advertisement
I looked back at the crowd and noticed a girl with a tray of shots coming my way. I quickly stood up and took three shots of whatever it was off of the tray. I sat back in my seat and downed the two shots ignoring the burning sensation going down my throat.
Dominic slowly turned his head towards me and I gave him his shot "You wanna dance?" I asked wiping the rim of my mouth
"Let's go ma." Dominic smirked getting up from off the couch.
He downed the shot and set the empty shot glass on the side table that was closer to him. He stretched out his big hands and I looked at it for a few seconds. I stacked my two shot glasses together setting them on the side table that was closer to me and grabbed his hand.
We all started walking down the block, heading towards the direction where we all lived in. I have no idea where Dominic was going and why he decided to tag along, we literally just left his house. He assured that he had cousins back at the party and his older brother was there also, but I still think it isn't a good idea for him to leave.
Everyone was paired up walking side by side on the tiny sidewalk. The air was crisp and cool and every time I exhale I could see my breath which fascinated me to the point where I didn't realize Dominic was watching me the whole entire time.
"...What are you doing." He asked a little after
I looked over at him, starting to stare back. He was on his phone ever since we walked out of his house party.
"Nothing." I answered
I looked away, looking ahead and saw that Michael had his arms securely around Chyna's waist and she's laying her head on his shoulder. Chris and Kae was walking closely together, speaking in hush tones. I could tell because I can' t hear them but I see the little vape coming out of their mouths. Kae would occasionally look back at Dominic and I. I was hoping Dominic would notice but he never notice. I sighed and stuffed my hands in my jacket pocket. We then reached our block and I started to speed up wanting to be in my nice toasty home.
We got close to their house and everybody began to speed up, walking into the front gate while I continued walking up the block to my house.

"Trin, where ya going?" Chyna called after me
I turned around and saw her wrapped up in Michael arms with a genuine confused look "Home?" I replied more as a question
Chyna mustered up the straightest face anyone can ever make and folded her arms
I heard Michael kissed his teeth loudly "Man, bring that ass here boy." He said in the exact DC voice unlocking the front door.
Everyone piled in the house except for Dominic. I watched him as he looked right at me, extending his arms towards my direction with one leg up on the first step. I looked down at my sneakers and then looked up, biting my lip unsure. He took his leg down from off of the first steps, turning his whole body so he can face me. Something was telling me 'no Trinity, don't go. Take your ass home' but I actually wanted to spend time with Dominic. Him and I actually bonded at the party, he's such a cool and relaxed guy. It'll be fun.
I walked over to the house and walked through the open gate, closing it behind me. I gladly took his hand smiling up at him. He smiled at mt, giving my hand a slight squeeze. We both walked up the front steps hand in hand, into the house. He closed both doors and guided me by my hips, pushing me more into the house because the front door area is very small for the both of us.
I walked into the living room and immediately peeled off my jacket because the heat in the house was blazing. No one was in the living room, so I guess everyone went to change the out of their party clothes. I draped my jacket on the arm of the three seater couch and sat there. Dominic settled in, taking a seat right next to me. I then remembered that I needed to check in with my father. Even though I'm 19. Cool.
After I informed my father about my whereabouts, I locked my phone slightly raising my butt up sliding my phone in my back pocket. I rested my head back on the couch as my eyes started to get heavy. I felt Dominic stretch his arms over my shoulder, pulling me towards him so I can rest my head on his chest. I snuggled up to him getting comfortable. We sat in peace and silence, other then Kae's occasional screaming from upstairs and Dominic's constant tapping on his phone. He'd curse and mutter under his breath. I opened one eye to see what he was doing and saw he was playing a game on his phone. I started to laugh to myself closing my eyes.

"Aw. Look at y'all!" Chyna cooed
My eyes fluttered open as I saw her back facing towards us with her phone in her hands up in the air. She was Snapchatting us.
"Oh god." I groaned covering my face
I adjusted myself, turning my whole body so my back was facing the camera. I laid my head on Dominic's lap and got comfortable. I then heard foot steeps coming down the stairs. I turned my body so I was laying on my back and saw everyone surrounding around the couch Dominic and I was laying on. I sat up annoyed, sitting properly. Everyone went back to their business which consist of sitting on the other couches available, watching T.v and scrolling through their news feed on their phones.
Chyna and Kae both had on shorts and a tank top on while Michael and Chris has on plaid pajama bottoms and v neck shirts. I don't blame Chyna or Kae for wearing shorts, it's hot in here.
I began to watch what was on T.v which wasn't that interesting, but stopped when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked to my left and saw that Dominic was on his phone.
I looked over to the recliner and saw Michael sitting down with Chyna on his lap. They were both looking at a funny video on Chyna's Ipad. I looked to my right over to the love seat and saw Chris watching the T.v also and then my eyes landed on Kae who was looking dead at me. She didn't look away and neither did I, challenging her.
She looked me over then cleared her throat "You didn't wear that sweater when we left to the party."
Everyone perked up, listening in since she disrupted the nice silence that was going on. I looked at her and she looked back at me. She gave me a look of disgust and my face mirrored hers. I looked around and saw everyone staring at me, except for Dominic. He gave her a vindictive look and I'm pretty sure Kae was well aware.
"It's Dominic's." I finally said scrutinizing her
"Hmpf." She sad looking away
I looked over at Micheal and Chyna who had very different faces. Chyna was cheesing hard as ever and I couldn't read Michael's face. Chris stopped watching the T.v and his eyes were switching between Dominic and I. I couldn't stop looking over at Chris as he tried to avoid eye contact with me. The way he was acting made me want to get down on my knees and beg him for forgiveness and explain myself. He looked at me one more time and looked down at his phone, seeing that I was staring at him. I looked over back at Kae and she looked at me with a mischievous look.
I grew tired of the tension and attention on me so I got up out of the couch walking out of the living room. I didn't know my way anywhere in this house but I needed to get out of that room as soon as possible. I walked into kitchen and sat at the kitchen island on the high bar stool. The kitchen was pretty spacious.
I sat there at the table with my head on my hands thinking about ever since I moved here in New York. Ever since I moved here Kae been on me, I haven't done a single thing to her.
"Trinity?" Chyna called after me
I didn't say anything but heard the light pitter patter of her feet coming towards me. I then heard the screeching of the bar stool and felt her presence in front of me.
"I noticed the tension between you and Kae." She started
I rolled my eyes mentally looking up at her. Chyna is such a sweetheart I couldn't be mad looking at her.
"What's up with you and her?" She asked
I sighed taking my hair from out of my bun as my twenty-three inch cascaded down my back.
"Ever since I came here and met y'all Kae been acting the way she been acting towards me. I could careless though." I said simply, shrugging
She sighed and grabbed my hand "let's go." She said hopping off of the bar stool
I hopped off also following suit as she pulled me into the living room and up a set of stairs. I made sure to not make any type of eye contact with anyone
"Where are we going?" I asked as we got to the top of the stairs.
There were six different doors that were all closed. We then walked over to one that had a big decorative 'C' on the door.
"Gonna get you some change of clothes, you're sleeping over!"

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
