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.

Fifteen-year-old Skyler Kadrix III wishes to set off on a journey to find the fabled Cyrstern, a skybeast unlike any other and the origin of the Crystals that grant people special abilities, increase their own abilities, and even allow them to gain Experience and Levels. A promise to his mother has kept him from setting off yet, but he's nearly ready to leave.

The journey takes the young boys across the sea of clouds, to various skybeasts and adventures. Whether they find the Crystern or not, they don't care as long as they keep moving forward.

The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
