《Dreaming (BWWM)》DAY DREAM💭

"Isn't that great news?!"
I know Mrs. Campbell means well, but she always wanna be putting me in places I don't seem to give a fuck bout.
"Uhh yes?!" I said uncertainly
"Amiyah I know change bothers you. I also know about your family problems. Going to a school like Lexington Academy will increase your chances of going to a GOOD school. Plus students who attend Lexington are exposed to more scholarships. "
What made me upset was how true it was. Brooklyn Heights isn't a school that will give me more opportunities. Lexington will. Despite what I've heard about that school, I guess I can put aside my pride and play nice with a bunch of rich white folk for 2 years.
"What do you say?"
"Yea I'll go"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today has been a long day for no reason. Maybe it's because I couldn't stop thinking about life at Lexington. How do you go from going to a school like Brooklyn Heights to the most prestigious school in the state?
"I see your back early!
" Well, you didn't really think I would rely on you to come to pick me up on time did you?"
" I'm glad you learned your lesson", he said smirkingly.
" Eli, Where's mom?"
"Oh she said she was working night shift"
"Oh"
I wanted to tell her about Lexington Acadamy. I'm a bit nervous to tell her because Lexington Academy is an hour away and that would mean I would have to stay with my dad because he lives closer to Lexington Academy.
I didn't want to do this without my mom. She's been there for me through every difficult decision. I want her here for this. I decided to tell her the news tomorrow morning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was the day I was gonna tell my mom about Lexington Academy. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty excited when Mrs. Campbell told me about transferring there. Brooklyn Heights wouldn't give me the same opportunities there. I would get more scholarships at Lexington, and overall I would be taken seriously. Most people think that students who go to BH are lazy and dumb as fuck. Which is true. People who go to BH are dumb as hell. I didn't want to fall under that stereotype which is why I worked twice as hard at that school.

When I got downstairs I saw my mom washing the dishes.
"Morning Ma" I smiled.
"Good Morning Miyah" she smiled back.
"Mom, I wanted to tell you something last night, but Eli told me you were working".
" Yea I took night shift last night. What did you have tell me?"
"Uh... my counselor, Mrs.Campbell, said that she thinks it would be good for me to transfer to Lexington Academy." I said
"Lexington Academy!" She yelled
"Yes"
"Do you know how much money it cost to go to a school like that? I've been working double and late shifts, but that's not gonna be enough to send you to Lexington".
"My grades can get me a full ride there for two years"
" I don't know Amiyah.,... it's an hour away from here. I can't drive you an hour away and then drive to go to work.
"I know. That's why I was hoping I could possibly live with dad during this time".
My mom was quiet for the longest time. My feet were feeling weak. I was hoping she would say something. Anything. I know I was asking too much of her.
"Are you sure about this?"
"What?"
"Are you sure you want to attend Lexington Academy?"
"Yes."
There it was again. The long silence.
"Okay... I'll talk to your father"

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading

Robinson Crusoe (Completed)
Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends twenty-eight years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.
