《The Not So Boring Girl: Craig Tucker x NekoReader》Chapter Twenty
Advertisement
I stared in awe around me. The boys had really taken down each of those lunatics. Craig came up beside me and placed his arm around my shoulder. I looked to the other boys who were dressed in costume and talking among themselves.
"I must be honest with you, your superhero costume is very underwhelming," I giggled.
Craig looked down to the paper pinned to his shirt with a big red 'S' drawn on it. "What can I say? I like the boring things in life...well except for you. You are the least boring person that I have ever met."
"Hey, I hate to interrupt you two, but what are we going to do with these people?" Token, who still wore his Tupperware on his head, asked.
"I'll take care of them," Cartman offered.
I gave him a curious look. "But what are you—"
"Don't worry about it you, stupid bitch," he snarled, dragging around the bodies to the exit.
I would usually be more upset about his vulgar words with me, but I couldn't be. Not seeing him dressed as a literal racoon to save my life. They all looked ridiculous, but they were also a lot more dangerous than I ever expected them to be when I first saw them.
Craig looked down to me and held a half smile on his face. I think he was really happy for once. He had seen happier than I had ever seen him-
"Ex-ex-excuse me?" someone stutter from behind us.
I turned around to see Tweek standing behind us and kicking his feet into the ground. I looked back to Craig, and that faint smile was gone.
"(Y/N), c-c-can I t-talk to you?" Tweek asked.
Craig protectively pulled me closer to him. "Tweek, so you have an idea on how that photo could have been taken of (Y/N) and I?"

"GAH! L-l-look I d-did-didn't know Be-Be-Bebe was going to d-do that," Tweek panicked. "If-if I would've kn-known—"
"Wait, Tweek, you caused this?" Token asked behind us, in disbelief.
I turned to see that all of the boys had joined behind us. None of them said anything. They all gave Tweek the same sad look- well except for Cartman.
"Who would've known Tweek could be capable of something like this?" He laughed. "Mad respect dude."
The other boys glared at him, but they didn't say anything.
"I-I am so s-s-sorry," Tweek said, as he started to tear up. "I was just so-so jealous, GAH!"
I felt bad for him, but Craig wasn't letting up as he continued to glare at Tweek.
"I-I miss my-my f-f-friends," Tweek confessed.
None of the boys had anything to say at that point, but I wasn't all that mad at Tweek. He didn't look like the type of guy that was capable of causing a disaster like this. He was just sad and heartbroken, maybe a little petty and crazy at that- but the boy did come off as rather anxious and impulsive.
"Tweek, it's okay," I said.
Craig looked as if he was about to argue, but I quickly cut him off.
"I get it. Craig was your first boyfriend. It has to be hard. I don't think you wanted things to escalate like this. There is no way you could've known this would happen," I said.
"Do-does that mean I c-can c-co-come back?" Tweek asked, with hopeful eyes.
I looked to the boys around me, for this was not just my decision to make.
"If (Y/N) is okay with it then I'm good with it," Clyde said.
I looked to Craig, for it was his opinion I cared about the most.

He instantly flipped Tweek off. "You can hang out with us again, but go behind my back again, and I'll make you regret it."
Tweek twitched. "OH GOD!"
After that, the rest of the boys dispersed, going back to cleaning the mess we had made in the school. However, Tweek stayed behind with us.
"Now what do you want?" Craig snarled.
"Cr-Craig, I am so-so sorry. C-can we just g-g-go back to being b-b-bes-best friends? Th-that's wh-what I miss the m-most," Tweek confessed.
Craig stared at him before turning the other direction. "Maybe, we'll see."
Tweek twitched on more time before going off on his own.
"That was really nice of you," I commented.
"Well, I'm not a bad guy, and I miss him, too. He was one of my best friends," he sighed, then looked to me with a smirk. "You won't be jealous of me hanging out with my ex?"
"You just convinced all of your friends to dress up like household superheroes to make sure I didn't leave. You have my full faith in you," I laughed.
"I can't believe how perfect this worked out. I'm about to go to my boring life with my not so boring girl," he grinned, before leaning down to give me a long kiss.
He then pulled me into a hug.
"Thank you, Craig," I smiled, nuzzling into him.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

In a continent once inhabited by the gods, humanity struggles to thrive against all manner of creatures. They've learned to harness the power of their souls to fight back against those naturally stronger than them. But among them, there are a few who have inherited a fraction of the power of the gods. This is the story of an innocent and hardworking young man whose soul thirsts for power and glory. The quickest path is to become a knight of the kingdom to earn a title of nobility for himself. And that's only the first goal. A story born from a deep desire to write high fantasy filled with everything I love. Swords, knights, monsters, magic, dragons and a harem of the wholesome variety. Expect sexual content of vanilla flavor and explicit violence as expected of people hitting each other with swords and big, dangerous monsters. Cover art by LeMayer on Instagram.
