《Cherry Scent》IV. Phone Call

Yeah that's great and all but Spencer Reid is so fine. "
~ Scarlett's POV ~
As we sat on the bed, binge watching Euphoria, Layla's phone began ringing.
We paused the show and stood silent, Layla answered the phone and quickly put it on speaker.
We all thought it was the same creep from the cafe but stood quiet, we can't just assume like that.
"Is this Layla Camilo Goodman?"
The voice sounded deep, too deep for a young boy.
Layla looked at us as if she didn't know whether to say yes or no and hang up, Cora urged her to speak.
"Uhm, yes, yeah."
Layla stammered, we all held our breath.
"This is the creator of Euphoria, I'm Sam Levinson."
Our eyes lit up and we quickly prayed that Layla did get the role of Drew Molina, she's worked hard for that role.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Levinson."
Layla choked out, she was happy but also was nervous.
"So we called to talk to you about the role of Drew Molina, the decision was a tough one."
Layla's face fell, although he didn't say that she didn't get the role, she believed that, that would be his next words.
Cora rubbed her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile, we wanted her to know we still had her back no matter what.
"We are quite happy to inform you that we believe you're best fit for Drew Molina, you got the part!"
Sam said happily, we all screamed in happiness.
We jumped up and down, this was amazing news.
Layla muffled a thank you as we hugged her tightly, she began to cry happy tears as she gotten the role she always wanted.
She worked hard as well.
We all ran downstairs and told her family whom congratulated her, we walked outside and sat on the grass out front.

As we scrolled through Instagram, we decided we should go live.
We all had a big following, I had a follow of 3.6K, Layla had a bigger follow since she was an actress 5.9K and Cora had a follow of 9.5K since she was a soccer player.
We thought I should go live because I had a better wifi connection and my phone was clearer.
@ ScarHead is Live!
"Hey guys!"
I said as my followers began to trickle in, I noticed a three usernames that joined that seemed a bit familiar.
Onwardwanna, Onwardjdub and Jaylawaltonofficial.
"No way, the literal J gang joined!"
Layla said fangirling making me laugh.
"Matthew Gray Gubler or AJ Cook?"
Cora read out loud, my face lit up at the comment.
If you went on my page and read my bio, it was filled with stuff I loved including Criminal Minds.
"Both, duh!"
I said with a cheeky smile, they were both so pretty that I couldn't choose which.
"Do you think I would look good if I dyed my hair?"
Cora asked the viewers to which they all said she would look the same but to go for it.
I was in my own little world, my attention was on the baseball team.
Yeah that's great and all but Spencer Reid is so fine.
I blurted out, the girls laughed and we continued speaking.
I ended the live after a bit and walked home, I noticed a little boy wandering around.
I walked over towards him, maybe he's lost.
"Hi, are you lost?"
I asked sweetly, the last thing I needed was to scare a little boy.
He looked at me with a smile.
"No, the door is locked. I'm Daelo!"
The little boy pointed to his door, the lights were off and it was far too dangerous to keep him outside.

"I live next door, I can take you inside and call someone."
I said, I took his hand in mine and we walked into my house.
My dad was busy coaching the baseball team so I was home alone, I gave Daelo a popsicle and took my phone out.
"Do you have any siblings or a parent that can come pick you up, if so do you know the numbers by heart?"
I was trying to make it easy for him to understand, he looked at me for a moment and then smiled wide.
"Wanna!"
It took me a moment before it dawned on me, Javon "Wanna" Walton!
"Okay, sit tight and I'll call your brother. Watch whatever you'd like."
I said as I grabbed my phone and clicked on the contact name 'Wannabe 👀', I called him and it only took him three rings before he answered.
"Scarlett?"
"Yeah, your little brother, Daelo, is in my house because he was locked out. Would you like to discuss that Wannabe?"
I asked as I peered around amd smiled at Daelo, he was watching Peppa Pig.
"Erm, no, I'll come over and bring him back home. Please don't tell my brother."
He pleaded, I heard him shuffle around his room before he ran downstairs.
I laughed.
"Keeping a child out is child neglect, I might have to tell your brother."
I teased as he raced over here, I heard the knock on my door and opened it.
I hung up and allowed him inside, Daelo got up from my couch and ran over to him.
"Hey Mumps, sorry I left you outside."
I couldn't help myself but laugh, it was hilarious to me.
"I'll call you later to make sure little Daelo here, isn't back outside."
I hugged Daelo and hugged Javon goodbye, I closed the door and begin to laugh.
What a day.

Touch O' Luck (The Old Realms)
A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war. The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something. The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Lure O' War (Ongoing) Wings O' Fate First chapters will be uploaded immediately. After that there will be updates every 3-5 days. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

8 90The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar.
