《Cherry Scent》XXI. Bonding Time
Advertisement
You're so into him that it is literally blinding you from seeing he's into you too.
~ Scarlett's POV ~
"How was your date?"
I asked Cora as I walked into her house with her after school, she began to gush out every single detail.
I have never seen her blush before so when she spoke so highly about Jayla and I saw crimson red tint her cheeks and tips of her ears, I thought the world was ending.
"Didn't think of you as a romantic but here we are Cora."
I smiled, Cora smiled back at me and we continued the conversation.
If this is what makes her happy to talk about then I am all ears, she made doe-eyes without even knowing.
"How about your date with Jaden?"
She returned the question, I sighed with a smile and it felt like a date but it wasn't one.
"Hang out more than a date and it was fine, we danced and ate and laughed all night."
It was my turn for the blushing and the gushing but it was Jaden, I just couldn't help myself.
But I needed to, I wanted to stop myself from even thinking about a further relationship.
"But, I don't think I want to be with him."
That was a lie, I knew it, you knew it and so did she.
I sighed and grabbed her hand, pulling her inside of a 7/11.
"Yes you do, you've been giving him doe-eyes for days now."
Cora exposed me as we filled out slushy cups with blue raspberry, I rolled my eyes playfully and smiled.
"Shut, shut up Cora."
I laughed out my sentence, we grabbed a few snacks and then left the store after buying them.
We continued talking about relationships until Cora gets a message from Jayla, I know this because of her face.

"Did your girlfriend text you?"
I tease resulting in me getting pinched, I laughed and rubbed my arm.
"We're not dating Scar but, we should have some bonding time to get closer."
Cora suggested, I agreed and we spent the day watching TV, playing at the park and dancing for fun.
We found ourselves at an abandoned mall, we took a shopping cart and I went inside.
We rode around and had the time of our lives, soon we got out of the cart and just ran to nowhere.
Soon we walked to a mall and bought a couple of different items, as we were walking home, Jaden began to face time me.
"Hey loser."
I greeted, he was on his PlayStation but still managed to speak and give me attention.
"Where are you?"
"With Cora, we're walking home now."
I answered, he looked at the camera and smiled at me.
"Tell her I said hi, also you two should come over."
I accepted his offer, we spoke a little more until we got to his house.
He hung up and walked downstairs, when he opened the door, he hugged me.
"Cora, Jayla's in her room."
Jaden said and almost instantly, Cora was gone to find the love of her life.
We both laughed and walked upstairs to his room, which was surprisingly clean.
I decided to go say hi to Jayla before I went to his room, I knocked on the door and waited for a response.
Once I was allowed in, I walked inside of the room and hugged Jayla.
"So Cora told me that you're having struggles to decide whether you like Jaden or not."
Jayla said getting straight to the point, she pulled me next to her and we began to discuss.

After speaking, it was known to everyone on this planet and the next that I had feelings for Jaden.
You're so into him that it is literally blinding you from seeing he's into you too.
Cora said with a smile, I rolled my eyes playfully and walked out of Jayla's room.
Maybe they were right but I wanted to be a hundred percent sure.
But Jayla lives with him, she would know when he begins to have feelings for a girl.
I'll think about this later, for now I have to focus on not making it obvious.

Recovery: Ignis
My Name is Keiren. Keiren Ignis. At least that was what IT told me. Now all I have to do is figure out everything else. No simple task when you're an amnesiac. Honestly, why do I know these words and what they mean, but I have no idea who or even what I am. Except for what IT told me. IT is whatever is causing the wierd pop-up screens that appear in my vision when I think about certain things. Seems like I'm going to have to play by ITs rules until I get a better understanding of everything else. This is my first attempt at writing anything. To be honest I'm not 100% sure as to what direction this will take. GLHF It became sci-fi. There will probably be a romantic subplot at some point. There will be some implied sexual content, but nothing more explicit than kissing will be written. Will try to release at least one chapter a week, but there could be none, or possibly 3 or 4.

Khaldir's Observer
Markus Kuberski, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at the Vienna University of Technology and a weeb, is bored by life. He has no girlfriend he cannot meet up with his friends because there is another Covid-lockdown and getting a side-job is also unsuccessful. Therefore, he has started to write a web novel. “If I cannot be the main character with magical powers and a harem full of cute girls in real life then I will create my own universe and be its protagonist.” Although that has been his first thought, he neither dare to use himself as the main character’s template nor write a harem story. “I am not that desperate!” he muses to himself. Little does he know that he will get more than he asked for when a mighty existence becomes interested in his story and makes it a reality. Hello, this is my first attempt at creating something like a novel. English is also not my native language, so expect some grammar and punctuation issues. I am using Grammarly to help myself in this regard, but in some areas, the free app cannot correct everything.There is currently no fixed schedule, although I believe that two chapters per week should be reasonable. Depending on how much time I have, I can write more.
