"No because I obliterated Matt in every single game." Sadie says as she lays down a big towel on the sand. "It's honestly embarrassing." She pulls down her shorts.
"You cheated!"
"No I didn't!" She yells back. Matt ignores her completely and gestures towards the beach with his head. Nick, Madi and Talia follow him with a knowing smile. "No one likes a sore loser, Matthew." The blonde girl takes off her sweatshirt and Chris almost has a heart attack right there.
"Whatever!" His brother replies with a little laugh as they all walk away.
"Is everything okay?" Chris gulps. Suddenly nervous and praying she doesn't notice.
"Uh-yeah. Why wouldn't it be?"
"I don't know." They look at each other for a moment. "I feel like you're mad at me."
"I'm not." She shakes her head. "I just thought you wanted... space, I guess, from me." Sadie sits beside him. "I don't want to hurt you."
"You hurt me more when you ignore me... like you've been doing since you picked us up." He says, looking forward.
"I'm-"
"Chris?" They turn to the girl calling his name. Sadie's stomach drops when she sees Camila Garcia with Conan Gray behind her. "It is you! Hi!"
He stands up to hug her and she waves at the blonde before taking Chris with her friends. Sadie stands up and shrugs when the boy looks back for a moment with a worried look on his face.
"It's okay." She mouths.
Then, Sadie walks towards her own friends and gasps when she comes in contact with the cold water.
"Where's Chris?" Nick asks.
"With Camila." The blonde girl answers. "Don't know where, though."
"He just... left?" Matt questions, looking around.

"Yup."
[...]
Chris can't help but think how stunning Camila Garcia is in person. Tan skin, brown hair, brown eyes, pink full lips... yeah, she's definitely pretty. She introduces him to her friends (mostly singers or daughters of famous people).
"Where do you know Sadie from?" Camila asks, handing him a Corona. He takes it but doesn't drink from it.
"Just— social media, you know?" He answers vaguely.
"So, are you two... like, dating?" The singer walks closer to him.
"Not really."
"Does that mean I have a chance with you?" She cocks her head to the side and plays with one of her braids.
He throws his head back as he chuckles.
"You want a chance with me?"
"Have I not made it obvious that I like you?" She smiles.
Chris doesn't know what to say. They don't even know each other, how can she like him? How can he like her? When he focuses on Camila again, she's fluttering her eyelashes the same way as Sadie and his heart skips a beat at the memory.
"I'm a clueless guy." He says in response. "Maybe you'll have to show me."
Somewhere not to far from where Olivia and her friends settled in on the beach, Sadie found herself staring at them, how closed she was standing and the fact that she couldn't see his face and read his emotions was making her stomach turn.
"Why is he talking to her?" Sadie frowns, heart aching and visibly upset.
"I mean... he is single, he can do whatever he wants." Talia answers, catching up on her best friend's feelings. Her mouth forms an 'o' as she realizes something. "Sadie, you're jealous!"
"What!" her neck almost snaps with how fast she turns. "No!"

"You like Chris!"
The blonde blinks slowly as her head turns once again to observe the blue-eyed boy and the other girl.
"Fuck." She curses under her breath. "I like Chris..."
Talia looks around just to check Matt, Nick and Madi are a few feet down from them and can't hear what they just said.
"I don't want to feel this."
"I know." Talia says.
"How do I un-like him?"
"You can't." Talia pities her best friend, she truly does. Sadie was so emotionally scared by her first love that the thought of even liking someone was terrifying to her. "It's not the end of the world."
But Sadie just wants to run and run and run, until the only thing she can feel is tiredness. Instead she walks further deep into the ocean and lets a big wave drag her to the shore. Everyone laughs and the blonde pretends along and laughs with them as she shivers from the cold water.
Chris comes back to them an hour later, a smile plastered on his face and blushing when Madi asks teasingly about Camila. But Matt's eyes are on Sadie and he watches as the girl takes a deep breath and puts on a smile the whole way back to Madi's house.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.
