《You Don't Know Me》T E N

~ Summer Preston's POV ~
"This is totally, 100 percent awkward" Marilyn whispered.
"No doubt" I mutter back.
At the moment we were in the auditorium getting ready to audition for Romeo and Juliet. There was only 3 girls here, auditioning for Juliet. Me, Marilyn and none other than Yasmime.
We had all managed to avoid her everywhere (except my gym class.) But of course, she had to join theatre.
"Alright girls. Marilyn you can go first, then Summer, then Yasmine" The teacher smiled at us.
Lets jump into this.
~~~
"Thank you so much girls! The roles should be posted by next week" Mrs. Serena said.
"Alright! Have a nice day" I smiled at her.
"I'll see you after school" Marilyn pattted my arm and ran off towards her next class.
Which left me and Yasmine walking on opposite sides of the hall to gym.
Just when I thought we had made it into the clear she spoke.
"So you and Anthony" She muttered.
"Yeah..." I mumble.
"Makes sense" She laughed bitterly.
"What do you mean?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"He always had a thing for you"
"I don't think so" I said.
"Why do you think I hate you?" She rolls her eyes. "Don't give me that shocked look. Just because Anthony & I broke up doesn't mean I still don't hate you"
"You're just so blunt about it" I grumble.
I hated being this insecure but she just did this to me. She made me feel small.
"Listen Summer" Yasmine grabbed my arm with her claws and I hissed in pain. "I'm going to go for him"
"Excuse me?"
"Anthony. I think it's obvious that we had something good. You just got in between us" She crossed her arms.
"How did I do that?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Wow. He doesn't tell you anything" She cackles.
"What?"
"We broke up because he chose you over me" She narrowed her eyes at me.
"We only started dating this summer"
"No duh. You were just too naive to see how hopelessly in love he was with you. He blew off dozens of dates so he could hang out with you. He would tell me that he was hanging out with Eric and then I would find out he was with you. The day he was supposed to meet my parents, he canceled because you had the flu-"
"I think you're overreacting. There was no way he ditched you that many times and there is no way he had feelings for me back then" I sigh.
She was always the jealous type.
"Oh come on Summer. I hate you but you're not dumb. You had to see it" She rolled her eyes and walked into the gymnasium.
This class went by quick. I ignored everything I was feeling and pushed all my aggression out during volleyball. I honestly hated the sport but I was so confused, angry and flustered that I needed to hit something that wasn't Yasmine's face.
Finally 8th period ended and we were leaving the school but something was still bugging me. Yasmine and Anthony's break up was messy. Really messy. There was fights in the middle of class, cheap jabs etc. That couldn't of all been because of me. So I decided to question Yasmine about it.
The boys were at football practice and Marilyn had just walked up so it was the perfect time to ask her.
"Yasmine" I called out and ignored Marilyn's 'what the hell are you doing' stare.
"What?" She stopped and stared at me.
"What did you do? I mean why was the break up so messy?" I questioned. This must be the adrenaline pumping through my body from gym because I never would have did this otherwise.

She looked around and scoffed.
"I slept with Tanner"
Before I could say or do anything, Marilyn was by my side.
"Okay, bye Yasmime" She said and pulled me away.
"You were going to hit her" Marilyn hissed once we got far enough away.
"Huh?" I asked, still shocked.
"You got that look you get when you're pissed. You were going to hit her. What did she say?"
The shock dissapaited and the anger seeped into my body. I ignored Marilyn and stomped my way to the football field where Tanner was practicing.
"We need to talk" I growled.
"Yeah? What's up pretty lady?" Tanner grinned at me.
"You slept with Yasmine" I grimaced.
"That was a long time ago. No need to be jealous"
"I'm not" I punched his gear covered chest.
"Then what's the problem?" He sighed, obviously annoyed that I hit him.
"Anthony is your best friend and you slept with his girlfriend"
"Shouldn't you be glad? If I didn't then he would still be with her" He scoffed.
"That hurt him Tanner. He spent months trying to get over her. He obviously knew. And you tortured him by staying around. God, what is wrong with you?" I spat out.
"What's wrong with me? You're right. I slept with his girlfriend. But guess what? Some day you're going to have to tell him that we were together. That'll 'destroy' him even more" Tanner rolled his eyes.
"It's different. He doesn't care about me as much as he cared about Yasmine" I said.
"Are you kidding me? He spent the past four years pining after you. It'll kill him more then anything Yasmine did" Tanner scoffed.
"He didn't pine after me" I mumble.
"Are you trying to convince me? I don't see why unless you want something" Tanner smirked grossly at me.
"Excuse me?" I crinkled my nose.
He had to be kidding me.
"Listen. We were together. You don't have to try so hard to get in bed with-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was on the floor underneath Anthony getting his face pummeled.

New God
Who said being a God was easy. If you started omniscient; omnipotent and omnipresent then it might be. However, without those powers it would be a different story entirely. This is that story. Adam is thrown into a new world with no choice and no instructions. At least he is a God, whatever that means... Lovely Royal Road readers: Imagine a tutorial with no instructions and no idea what the game was meant to be and what you are trying to achieve. All you know is that you are a God (whatever that means). So this is quite slow to start; mainly world building for me; a bit of base building by the MC and some good old minion development. I'm developing/practicing my writing and love the format of RR to get it out of my head. So hopefully it gets better with time as I get better. All feedback welcome - but please critique and tell me why you don't like it (if you don't) I'd rather a 1-star review than a 2-star(plus) rating!

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
