《Mistakes Made. A Hamgelica fic》LYING

"Okay, bye."
Angelica sighed before hanging up her phone and leaning back in her seat. She and Maria had been talking on the phone for an hour and a half and they were just now getting off the phone. She smiled and screamed into her hands out of pure joy. In the middle of her little scream fest, she felt a knock on her window. When Angelica looked up she saw a man with freckles, long curly hair, and a black sweater. She stupidly rolled down her window because no sane person who's trying to to survive in modern America would roll their window to a stranger in the city but Angelica decided to roll it down anyway because she had a little more faith in humanity after falling in love.
"Yes?"
"Are you lost or something."
"No, why?"
"Because you've been parked outside of the building for like an hour and you're screaming in your hands."
Angelica arched her eyebrow and smiled before resting her elbow on the window and her chin in her palm.
"Have you been stalking me?"
"No, I live here and my roommate hasn't returned my calls so I'm locked out."
"Who's your roommate?"
"You wouldn't know him.'
"I'm Angelica Schuyler. I know everyone in this city."
The man laughed and put his hand out for her to shake.
"I'm John Laurens."
Angelica jaw dropped in surprise.
"I know you."
"How?"
"Because I know your roommate."
Laurens let a small challenging smile come onto his face.
"Prove it."
Angelica pulled out her phone and called Alexander. The phone rang twice.
"Hello."
"I'm downstairs and I have a sudden urge to kiss you again."
The phone hung up and Alexander was downstairs in 30 seconds. Laurens laughed.

"My god Alexander you'll come downstairs in 30 seconds for her. Someone I've never seen before but you won't open the door for me. Your been best friend since high school."
Angelica laughed before turning towards the two men. One Alexander your ridiculously amazing and two Laurens I agree there is no god."
Laurens turned to Alexander.
"I like this one."
Alexander smiled.
"Me too."
Angelica grinned at the simple yet meaningful comment.
"See you two losers later."
Both men pretended to be shocked.
Laurens put his hand to his chest in mocked offense while speaking in a horrible british accent.
"How dare she. So unladylike."
Angelica rolled her eyes before sticking out her middle finger.
"To hell with lady likeness."
Angelica started her car but didn't even start driving before Alexander jumped in front of her car yelling.
"I love you Angelica. Marry Me!"
"You've known me for a week you can't love me."
"I can and I will get you to marry me one day."
Angelica nodded her head and accepted the challenge.
"Three months. You have three months to get me to marry you."
"Deal."
Angelica blew an exaggerated kiss and drove off with a helpless expression on her face. She was three minutes on the road when she got a call from Eliza. She put the call on bluetooth and answered.
"Where were you. I called you like six times."
"I was out."
"Okay are you busy."
"No, why."
"You know that Alexander guy from your lecture?"
Angelica smiled at the mention of his name.
"Yes."
"Is he single? Just asking for a friend."
Angelica knew she wasn't asking for a friend. Angelica knew Eliza better than she knew herself.
"Angie... are you still there."
"Yeah I'm here. What was the question?"
Eliza groaned out of embarrassment on having to repeat the question.
"Is he single?"
Angelica inhaled.
"No."
Angelica heard the disapointment in her sister voice but tried to bury it with the overwhelming feeling of joy in her heart.
"Okay, thanks."
"Don't worry about it."
Eliza laughed off her previous question.
"See you later Angie."
"Bye Liza."
Angelica hung up and felt the guilt on her chest rise but ignored it by drowning it out with the sappy love songs on the radio.

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.
8 136I Became An Adventurer
Magic, Dimensions, Dragons. This world has all the fantasy it needs. This is the story of a man's road to becoming the strongest adventurer across several dimensions. A man who has lost and gained many things. Damion is his name and none shall forget his legacy
8 51The Spirit Games
Bullied at school and neglected by his parents, Tom Fiddle finds himself at his wit's end, until he receives a strange email offering him a job as a cultivation clan's spirit automaton. But what *is* a spirit automaton? After a successful application, he gets an answer to his question: a spirit automaton is an arcane spirit attached to a pocket realm. They can shape this miniature world to their liking and conjure spiritual entities, usually monsters, out of thin air. Their role is to create and administer trial-by-fires. These life and death competitions determine whether a disciple is *chosen* or merely *trash* that deserves to be left by the wayside. Tom's new responsibility will affect the lives of millions of cultivators and shape the future of hundreds of worlds, dozens of galaxies, and eventually, the universe itself. Will Tom use his newfound power to torment others and merely benefit himself? Or will he rewrite the course of history and transform the path of cultivation from a path of blood and destruction, to one of peace and tranquility?
8 94Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
