《Cherry Scent》XIII. Flower Crowns

I'm not disrespectful, I say what's on my mind and don't take crap from anybody.
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I woke up with someone's arm around my waist, the sun shining through my curtains made me wake up.
I looked up and smiled at the sight of a peaceful, sleeping Jaden.
I slowly and quietly removed his arm from my waist and walked over to my bathroom, I brushed my teeth and washed my face.
When I walked out of the bathroom, Jaden was sitting up.
"Dude, don't you have a shirt?"
I asked as I went to my closet and looked through it, he didn't respond.
I threw him an extra toothbrush, he smiled at me graciously and walked to my bathroom.
He brushed his teeth and came out of the bathroom, I was reaching for something on the top shelf of my closet.
Up there had all my bucket hats and snapbacks, I obviously wanted my bucket hat.
All I felt was his chest press up against my back, one hand on my waist and the other grabbed the bucket hat I wanted.
I felt my cheeks heat up, my breath hitched as he let go slowly.
"Thanks, I'm going to change in the bathroom."
I stammered on my words a bit before making my escape to the bathroom, I mentally kicked myself for being an idiot.
He knew he got the best of me at that moment, I wanted to so badly hurt him but I liked it.
I walked out of the bathroom and this kid was making a TikTok in my room, I stifled my laugh until he finished.
He turned around and smiled at me, with just that look we bursted out laughing.
"We should hang out, like right now."
I suggested, he agreed and grabbed my hand.

We ran out of my house, which was after I said goodbye to my dad and told him I'd he with Jaden for the day.
To which he told me to be back by four since we have baseball practice, I made sure I sprayed my Cherry Scented perfume.
"You smell good, what's that you got on?"
Jaden asked as he looked through his closet, I pulled out my cherry Scented perfume and threw it at him.
He caught it and smiled at me.
"Smells good on you."
He complimented before he threw the bottle back me, after he found an outfit he liked.
He walked to the bathroom and changed into it.
He was wearing overalls without a shirt, I laughed and walked out of the house.
We walked around for a bit, we had no idea where we were going to go to hang out.
"Omg a flower field, can we please make flower crowns?"
I asked him, he chuckled and nodded.
I smiled and we ran into the field.
The flowers all looked gorgeous, we sat down and began to create flower crowns.
Once we finished, he placed the one he made for me on my head and I placed the one I made for him on his.
He held onto my bucket hat with a smile, he grabbed my hand and with that we walked around.
Soon it was around 2:45 PM, he walked me home and kissed my cheek before walking to his house.
That was a start, I walked inside and quickly got changed into my baseball uniform.
My dad agreed to taking Jaden with us so it was no surprise when he started singing along to Baby by Justin Bieber, I swear this kid was dropped on his head.
Once we arrived, I quickly got out since Jaden said we were racing and bolted out of the car.

"You're a cheater!"
I laughed as pushed him playfully, then it seemed like a joke.
But now, now it didn't.
"Go cry me a river!"
He laughed back as he playfully pushed me, we got onto the field and I was greeted by everyone.
As we began to play, there was another adult here.
Probably someone's parent, I brushed it off until I noticed he walked off the stands and went over to the coaches.
"Scarlett! Come here for a second."
I sighed and put my bat down, I walked over and greeted all three of the adults.
"She's going to get hurt, look at her."
"What do you mean look at me? I'm perfectly fine."
Now I wasn't one to disrespect anyone family members but if I felt like they were disrespecting me, it's a free country and everything I say, I mean.
"My dad is a coach, he wouldn't want me playing if he didn't think I could handle it."
I said once more, the father looked appalled at my answer and scoffed, I walked away before he could say anymore.
Jaden noticed and jogged over to me, he put his arm around my shoulder and started walking around the field with me.
"Jaysean's Dad looks like you disrespected him."
Jaden said looking back at the father, I couldn't help but laugh.
He truly did look like I had disrespected him and anything he loved.
I'm not disrespectful, I say what's on my mind and don't take crap from anybody.
I answered truthfully to which he chuckled and stood in front of me, he kissed my cheek once more but didn't move away from me.
"You're hilarious at times, did you know that?"
Once again leaving me flustered, I scoffed and playfully shoved him.
I ran off back to where the others were and continued throwing fast balls and curve balls.
I'm so close to hitting Jaden with a bat if he does it again.

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

Children of the Sun
Abigaël Chase, an ordinary physicist with an ordinary life on Earth got transported to another world. A world of magic and war, a world where death was never very far. She unexpectedly survived for many years thanks to a hidden power she didn't think she had. The same power that many people, gods and demons alike, wanted to annihilate no matter the cost. Hunted and cornered, Abigaël bet everything on a daring move which nearly ended up in her death. Having acquired a new body, Abigaël must do everything in her power to return to Earth. For Earth was in danger and only herself held to key to its survival. WARNING : It will contain mature content. I checked LitRPG not because there will be game-elements (pop up screen from the "system", the god or something like that) but because of the world mechanic itself (there will be level up, quest/mission, guild, etc?).

His only asset? His mind and most importantly his imagination which he must maintain with practical knowledge from his previous life! Will his previous life's fascination with gathering what seemed to be random wildlife knowledge assist this hope for survival in the upcoming trials he faces that are beyond his imagination or make his situation worse because his past life knowledge is not always best in the world he has found himself a part of... All he has to go on are the words of the God who he heard from when he arrived in this crazy world and said "blessings" rewarded to him by this God. [Stupid human, I do not have time for your mortal questions, so I will give you the basic rules” of my planet. They are “evolve to improve oneself for yourself” and for you a unique ability that can be likened to your so-called concept of “customization” to further adapt oneself to the environment and for you to use your so-called “advantage of being reborn with your past life experience and knowledge”. Beware though, the strength you gain will balance itself out when compared to the aboriginals for the system I have created over my lifetime is perfection embodied] This is less brief in the actual prologue by the way as it also serves the purpose of giving you an idea of the world that Connor has been thrown into... :P Schedule: 2-3 Chapters a week, however, there could be more chapters released on some occasions.
