《Cherry Hill》XXIII. Stay Out Of My Life
Advertisement
When she breaks your heart again, you'll know exactly how I felt.
After that night with Jaden, I didn't know if I should forgive Jaden or not.
But then again, he kissed his ex and then completely kept it to himself so I'm not gonna forgive him yet.
This week was flying by, it was already Friday which meant I was going to an abandoned carnival with Xiomara.
I was excited, I was so in my thoughts I didn't realize I had bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry, I should've looked at where I was going."
I apologized quickly as I helped the person collect their things, I looked up and noticed it was just Willow.
"Oh hey, Scarlett right?"
Willow asked, I looked at her in awe and nodded slowly.
I was starstruck, that's when she waved at me and began to walk away to go to her class.
"Hola Chica, I see you found yourself a new replacement."
Xiomara greeted as she hugged me, I looked at her and just as I was about to scold her, she raised her hands and said she was just joking.
I looked at her and smiled, I grabbed her hand and together we walked to Chemistry together.
As we entered the class, Jaden and Meredith were sitting together across from our table.
Xiomara and I rolled our eyes before we sat down and took out our notebook, today we were going to be dissecting a chicken foot.
"I like eating chicken, pero ahora no."
(But right now, no.)
Xiomara said as she gagged, I chuckled as she reluctantly grabbed the scalpel and began to do a small incision on the palm of the foot.
I looked over and saw Meredith laughing as Jaden struggled to cut the chicken foot open, soon they were both able to cut it open and they were onto the next task.

"Don't think of it too much, she's just practicing on how she's gonna cut his heart out for the second time."
Xiomara reminded me, I laughed with her as moved onto the next step.
By now, we were already almost done considering we started before them.
I was getting distracted at the fact Meredith had Jaden wrapped around her finger even if he didn't realize it, I was more than annoyed.
I was frustrated, I wanted to harm her, I wanted to make it known that Jaden is not her boyfriend, it doesn't matter.
I understand we broke up, but that doesn't mean he gets to move on fast.
He doesn't deserve to get with Meredith after the fact she ruined our relationship.
And he's feeding her the lies and toxicity, I didn't like it.
It wasn't fair, I wanted to march over there and-
"Scarlett!"
Xiomara shrieked, I looked down and saw I had accidently cut my hand.
The pain settled in and soon I was crying, the teacher cleaned the wound and wrapped guaze around it.
"Should've paid attention to your own chicken foot, this one's taken Scarlett."
Meredith stated, we both know she wasn't talking about the chicken feet but she was talking about Jaden.
Jaden looked up at me and sighed as he got up from his seat, he just gave in his paper and sat back down.
"You know what, you and Jaden are perfect for each other."
I glared at the two before grabbing my things and leaving the class room, I was being dramatic but someone had to be.
As I walked through the empty halls, Jaden left the class and ran over towards me, he grabbed my wrist and turned me around.
"What's your problem!?"
He asked me, I just pulled my wrist back and I watched as Meredith left the classroom along with Xiomara.

Forgive me for what I'm about to do, I just want Meredith to feel hurt and upset knowing she wants Jaden.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down, I attached my lips to his and surprisingly he kissed back.
I looked behind him and watched Meredith run back inside, I pushed him away and glared at him.
When she breaks your heart again, you'll know exactly how I felt.
I whispered in his ear before turning around and walking to the girl's bathroom, I called Cora and asked if she could pick me up.
I told her I wasn't feeling well and that I might be sick, she said she would be there fast and then hung up.
"You're a petty girl, did you know that?"
Xiomara asked as she walked into the bathroom with a smirk on her face, I looked at her and rolled my eyes playfully.
We both agreed we would pretend we're sick and so I texted Cora, she agreed to pick us both up.
We spent the whole period in the bathroom, we were cracking jokes and making fun of Meredith.
That was when we heard our name being called through the speakers, I grabbed her hand and we both ran up the stairs.
Before we entered the office, we had to pretend we were really sick.
I sighed dramatically and walked over to Cora, she signed us both out.
We walked to her car and got inside, we waited until we weren't near the school to go back to normal.
That's when I told her everything, she started laughing when she heard about me kissing Jaden just to mess with Meredith.

Kill the Harem
I was never a person who struggled with anything. Whatever I wanted to achieve, I achieved, except for finding a good reason for living. That was until I died. Perhaps it was karma, or perhaps it was some particularly sick god. I woke up in a world full of magic and encountered all these women who became romantically obsessed with me. It bears an uncanny resemblance to those garbage isekai series that I had the misfortune of reading in high school. The problem is, I loathe isekai. It got to the point where ever time I read about a busty elf-girl wanting to follow the protagonist, I wanted to throw something. It's illogical and it ruins the flow of the story. But now, I'm the one getting harassed by such illogical people? What complete and utter drivel. If any obsessive crazy person tries to make me theirs without even caring about my opinion, I'll f*cking kill them! I'll kill them all! I'm getting back home no matter what. My favorite manga hasn't finished yet and I want to read it to the end. Q&A Section Q: Is the protagonist mentally healthy? A: No, not even close. Q: Are all the female characters stupid? A: Barring extenuating circumstances, nobody rational would fall for a guy like the protagonist, so there's a bit of selection bias going on here. Q: Is this about a Gary Stu killing a bunch of irrational harem characters in a cliche isekai world? A: Go reread the title and the synopsis. Q: Do the women die because they won't sleep with the protagonist? A: No. I'm not sure where anyone got that from since it's entirely the opposite of what happens.

Calf the Furless (First Edition)
Calf, the heir presumptive has fallen short once again. As a half-being his competition has always stood heads and shoulders above his physical capabilities but this time, more is at play in keeping him down than the fetters of human ability. "THEY" have interfered and as a consequence, Calf is thrown into a Rites the likes of which only the annals and a few of the long-lived have seen. Will he prevail, or will his story end before it even begins. PROLOGUE: The rite of passage. Every creature known and yet to be known by man undergoes its own challenges. These separate the chaff from the worthy crop, whittling down the challengers for every progressive leg of the journey we call life. Be it formalized and observed, or unwittingly followed in the execution of daily life, every form of it is ritualized. That ritual is what we call the rites, the passage being the continuation of life itself, for even when metaphorical, a death is certain in choice and accommodations should one fail to meet its expectations. ⯁⯁⯁ At the top of any group stands a king, set apart from all by qualification, ranging from singular to multivariate by the complexity of each group. To those of the central forests of Greater Liminos, better known as Taurreland, strength is king. Though the land abounds with creatures great and small, boasting intellect, arcane skills and artisanal prowess, strength stands above all of them, second to none. 'Strength will prevail over all' stands as their motto, and to that end, the Rites of a King require triumph over forces from all disciplines. ⯁⯁⯁ Day 300,Year seventeen,Future calendar of the Taurs... Such a rites would occur on that day, and its events would be the first in a sequence of challenges to the status quo. A single answer would emerge to satisfy all the questions that had been asked of a certain Prince for the past 8 years, but as a consequence, that answer would put to question all that was tradition, and the weight of hereditary strength.

An Extra-Ordinary Story about Ordinary People
In a different world, a different reality, where ordinary people occasionaly have extra-ordinary powers for no particular reason, we follow a number of characters, trying their best to live in this strange yet normal world. We have our first character, a currently nameless but sentinent creature who happened to find himself in the body of a strange fungus after an unknown incident that robbed him of not only his former body but of his memory, as well. Secondly, we follow Smith, a high-standing man who doesn't even need to explain which Smith he is, on top of the world, yet human enough to meet said fungus. And thirdly, we have another nameless character, who is burdened by the ability to summon things that he doesn't want. A charming gang, who will (most likely) meet at some point. --- All and all, it's a twist on the common super-hero world, where all super-heroes have somehow dissappeared, but not the possibility for new ones. The series that feature the mushroom-dude are the 123 ones, the stories that feature Smith are the ABC ones, and the ones that feature our newest character, the summoner-dude, are the abc ones. Neat, huh? Also, just a word of warning? The 123 ones are kind wierd, and you can skip the first few chapters and go straight to the ABC ones without missing too much. But I'd rather you didn't, since i really enjoyed writing them. In ABC and abc, the format changes to a more typical form, with proper grammar and stuff. So if you dont like the 123, I'd love it if you gave the ABC a chance :^) Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it!
