《You And I》ƇӇƛƤƬЄƦ 11: Dixie Larissa Clarkson

"orning Di, rise and shine!" A shrill rang through the hall and a palm on my back almost shoved me into the locker.
"Morning" I said in almost a whisper as I grabbed my English book out of my locker, in exchange of my jacket and car keys into it.
"So, how was your weekend? Punched an eye or two?" Jessica's voice boomed in the teenager littered hallway, as she munched on the Oreo's in her hand.
All of a sudden everyone stopped around us and looked our way, as whispers arose in groups.
I am careless to what looks they were passing me as we walked through. I simply rose an eyebrow and glared hard to the oh-so-popular group as they whispered to one another.
"Maybe or maybe not" I softly whispered as we came to a halt right in front of our first class.
"Ugh! How much I hate English" A sigh escaped Jessica's lips as I turned the handle.

"Dear students, I've got an interesting project for you all this time" Mrs. Savannah White said clapping her hands together with excitement dripping through her features.
A mix of "hmm's" and "okay's" were heard.
"Thought-provoking" Jess's voice whispered from beside me with a prominent smirk in it. I rolled my eyes and continued to concentrate on what Mrs. White has to say.
"So as I was saying, this project is going to be interesting for everyone. Let's look into some rules" she said as she pushed the specs up her nose to stop at the bridge and grabbed a sheet from her table.
"Firstly, each one of you will be paired with another. Secondly, this is going to be a Biographic writing in which with the help of your partner, you all will be writing a biography on a single historical famous author giving evidence of one of his/her eminent work-"

Hmm...
"-and finally demonstrating it in front of your class. Besides this, the project should be completed within the span of a month and contains 20 marks from your finals" Mrs. Black finished with a smile on her face.
A few whistles were heard and a few high-fives were exchanged.
Jessica nudged my arm and passed a wink at me.
Huh? What's so 'woohoo' about this project?
I tilted my head slightly to one side and rolled my eyes, ignoring her jejune behaviour.
"Now, let's start with the pairing!" Mrs. White clapped her hands together and withdrew a sheet from her desk.
"So.... Madelyn Power and Alexander Mars"
"YAIKS!" a sudden masculine voice boomed in the class, causing Mrs. White to lower her specs and glance up at the source.
Uncontrolled giggles erupted from Jessica beside me, as she rested her head on my shoulder and kept wiping her tears.
"Mr. Popular Knight quarterback meets Miss Nerd" she whispered between her giggles. Making me roll my eyes.
My eyes on there own swapped across the room and saw a tiny frame sitting in the front row. Her friends kept nudging her shoulders and a deep crimson coated her cheeks as she kept pushing her specs to let them sit on the glabella.
Figures...
"Is everything alright, Mr. Mars?" She enquired.
"Can I please swap partners?" The male voice pleaded, but Mrs. White shook her head.
"Try making new friends Alexander, dear" she said as she pushed her specs back to the bridge of her nose.
"Okay so moving on... Eli West and Jennifer Lawrence" as soon as the words echoed in the room, a shrill with a way higher frequency rang into the walls of the class.
Jessica was now rolling over and laughing her lungs out, with her head pressed into the table top as she continued to tap soundless-ly over her thigh.

"Is everything alright, Ms. Lawrence?" Mrs. White inspected with a deep scowl over her face and raised an eyebrow as her gaze went up to someone behind me.
"Mrs. White with all due respect, who the hell-" the feminine voice spoke up but the chagrin creases on the teacher's forehead made her stop mid sentence.
"Sorry, I meant can you please swap me with someone else? I doubt Mr. Johnson will ever bewail" her voice was dripping with enough of vixen which made my eyebrow rise up on its own.
"I deny" said a familiar masculine voice the very next second, causing the corner of my lips to twitch.
There goes your... almost... sailing ship
Shrugging off, I diverted my mental attention back into the class.
"There, you got your answer Ms. Lawrence. Now try becoming friends with Mr. West, he's a nice boy" she stated, sighing and rolling her eyes before continuing to read down the pairs on the rest of the sheet.
"Jessica James and... Jonathan Black"
Whistles rose into the room and a few back slaps were exchanged.
"OMG! Second pair of Nerd and Mr. Popular. Now where is the poor 'her'?" Jessica whispered as she laughed silently, wiping the tear streaks on her cheek.
I rolled my eyes at her and titled my head slightly to my right, as I looked at her.
"Ms. James, you heard your partner's name, didn't you?" Mrs. White said catching her attention, which threw the convivial of her's out of the window.
With a loud gulp, she responded back at her and abruptly turned towards me with her eyes seeming to fall off the sockets any second.
A sigh escaped my lips and I rolled my eyes.
"Just a project, Jes" my voice maintained the ascetic composure.
"Okay now, moving on we have, Dixie Clarkson and Dwight Johnson"

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.
