《Notes in My Locker》XLIV. Realization
Advertisement
I don't care man, my car was almost totalled because I didn't keep my eyes on the road.
~ Natalie James's POV ~
I stepped out of my car and made sure there were no scratches on it, I put my hands through my hair and took a deep breath.
This could've killed me, thank God I was able to swerve.
I saw headlights speeding towards me, Oh my God I already got away from getting harmed.
Do I really have to die this way, tonight as well!?
I watched as the car parked behind me and out came Javon, he ran to me and picked me up.
He twirled me around and once he placed me down, he apologized.
"I'm sorry, I should've believed you."
"Javon it's not your fa-"
He cut me off and continued apologizing, I stood there and heard him out.
This was what I wanted, so why did I feel bad?
I deserved an apology but it felt like I didn't, maybe I wasn't completely over him like I thought I was.
I smiled and accepted his apology, although I was mostly thinking about my car.
I don't care man, my car was almost totalled because I didn't keep my eyes on the road.
I said with a smile, he smiled back.
There was that very smile that made my day and made my night.
The smile that made the world stop and made me fall in love, we got into our cars and decided to drive to the diner together.
We bought our milkshakes and drove back to the set.
We were walking out of the parking lot, we made jokes and we were having a good time.
I put my things down and went over to the gates to stare at the stars.

He followed me with a smile, we stood there stargazing.
We named the stars since we never remembered their real names, but the constellations were very much intriguing.
I felt Javon's eyes on me, I looked back and smiled.
There was no words to be said, we were comfortable alone together again.
"I acted like a jerk didn't I?"
He asked while rubbing the back of his neck making me laugh at his nervousness.
If I didn't like him, I would've been so blunt about it but I do.
"A tiny bit, but you love her."
The words burnt like acid on my tongue, I looked down.
I was just upset at myself for not making a move on him, he lifted my head up by my chin.
We stared at each other for a moment, I wrapped my hands around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist.
My eyes flickering from his lips to his eyes and back again, he copied my movements.
We moved in slowly and sure enough our lips connected, they moved in sync.
It felt like this was the missing puzzle piece, we pulled away.
He looked at me and smiled, he pulled me in for another kiss.
We went slow, it was nice and it was just correct for the moment.
But all that was on my mind was Lola, I pulled away fast and pushed myself away from him.
He looked at me like he did something wrong, I forgot about her for an hour.
"Lola."
I said as I tried to catch my breath, even if it was slow it still took my breath away.
Javon shook his head and grabbed me by my waist.
"Her and I were never together, that I can promise you."
I got what I wanted, I smiled and kissed him.

Maybe this was a present from the universe to apologize for putting me through the wringer.
We stood there kissing, I felt like I was in a movie.
I would choose the song High Enough by K.flay.
I don't see anyone other than you, baby it's true.
We pulled away slowly, I looked at him with love.
He returned the same look, we took a minute.
There wasn't much to say at all, we kissed again.
The night felt magical to me.
I was finally happy, I finally felt like myself again and nothing could have changed that.
Or so I thought....
I'm already high enough, you got me, you got me good.

High School DEATH GAMES
"'Why,' a woman asked me, 'would they show a movie with things I do not want to see?' She is not unusual. Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds." - From the Great Roger Ebert Be forewarned, this story is not for everyone. It's not even for some people. This is for just a select few who get wet from misery and excited by suffering. This is no level up, power up, let's kill monsters, op mc, fantasy land, standard litrpg garbage you find in basically every other story on this site. If the rest of RoyalRoad is shounen (which it is), then this is Gantz/Berserk. Sorry. I lied. This is darker than Berserk and bloodier than Gantz. Not a manga fan? Then how about Korean cinema? Have you heard of Kim Ki-duk? His works The Isle, Moebius, and Pieta all come to mind. Again, this is not for normal people. There's a bunch of other normal stories for normal people to read. The whole rest of the site library is for normal. This is a special section set aside for a special type of story meant for a special kind of people. If you follow or favorite this, you're telling the whole world that you're a little different. A bit twisted. I guess you could call it the BDSM of reading. Which segues perfectly into the introduction. Are you kinky? Are you familiar with the taboo? Have you ever thought about the depths of human depravity? What I'm trying to ask is, do you like fucked up shit? Do you like massacres and public shamings? Do you like watching people fall into despair, going insane, or turning into psychopaths? Do you get turned on when love is destroyed and hedonism reigns king? Well, I've got the perfect story for you! If you're uncomfortable with profanity, gore, sexual and traumatising content, then I recommend you move on. I won't judge you just cause you're a pussy. And I'm not talking about the fake labels of the other candy ass stories on this site who think their shit is morbid or even remotely disturbing, I'm talking about the shocking, offensive, real fucked up shit that you can't even use incognito mode for and you gotta install Tor browser. (You don't actually need to install Tor, you idiot.) If you love that shit or even if you're just curious, then read on. I swear it's not as bad as you think it'll be. It's much worse. - Signed with no love, Marley (written by a friend in the voice of Marley) Unapologetic, cynical, pretentious, pessimistic, hypocritical, selfish, sarcastic, passive, apathetic asshole main character named Marley. Alternate POV: Badass, intelligent, proactive, loving, nice, friendly, optimistic co-main character Sophia. This is essentially a rough draft. Grammar and spelling has been read through and fixed for the most part. If you don't like something, tell me why you don't like it. Don't just rate it low anonymously. Thanks.

Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life
As long as i can remember, i can see something other people can't see Yes, on the top right of my vision, i have something that looks like a map, does it useful? how does something that blocks 1/32 of my vision to be useful? Does it have to be useful.. right? As i get older, this looks like "mini-map" in a video game that i played, so i decided to call this Mini-map at least I'm not the only one with this kind of thing.. from what I've found, everyone has different ability, for example my little sister can see another person status, there's a person that can heal wounds by eating meat, there's a person that once a day can spin roulette to get reward, there's a person that can jump twice in the air and there's a person that can throw fireballs..... wait a minute!? the story will be slow, since i just write this to train my english anyhow the idea of this story will be if someone can throw a fireball does their hand burns? if someone can jump for 30m can they survive the fall? if a bard play a song that can regen their allies, why’s the enemy isn’t regenerating? if a cleris creates a barrier can their allies attack from inside barrier? and About the first few chapter i know the grammar was really bad but it’ll help me if you guys read the first few chapter and go straight to the last and tell me have i improve or not P.S i hope The world has “common language” feature so everyone speak in the same tongue lol
