《Tough Love》Chapter 5: Time to Decorate.
Advertisement
I haven't really thought about decorating my new room yet, but now I do. It was so plain, and empty. So empty, that I can hear echoes bouncing off the walls into my ears. So I decided, it's time to decorate!
I got dressed and ran to my car, I drove to Ikea. When I arrived, I went to look around the bedroom department. And can I just say, I literally wanted E V E R Y T H I N G.
I saw a drawer that I really wanted, a bookshelf, picture frames, and a floral bed spread. In total everything was probably about $325 depending on my math skills, I'm just guessing. I quickly ran to the cart and tried to place everything in, the drawer was hard to place, it was too heavy for me to carry. So I fell back.... on someone. Whoever that was, caught me by the waist, "Whoa there, well hello". I turned around finding this tall boy with light green eyes and a brown fohawk. "Oh, Hi.. I'm sorry about you know...falling on you." I said shyly trying to get up. "No, no it's okay. But do you usually fall on people?" he laughed. I just noticed, he had a british accent. "Since your asking, yes. Yes, I do fall on people... a lot." I said. "Putting that aside, do you need help with all of that?" He said pointing at the cart. "Yeah..." I said.
He dropped the box into the cart and pushed it with me to the cashier. "Thanks for being so thoughtful, and catching me from falling." I said smiling. "Oh you're welcome" he smiled back. He helped me bring everything to the car. I asked him if he wanted to go out to Starbucks in return for helping me. He said "Yes, please!" with adorable excitement. On our way there, I asked him for his name, "Nathan" he said "Nathan Sykes.", "I'm Ariana, Ariana Grande. And it's very nice to meet you Nathan!" I said happily.

Nathan's POV:
I was walking around Ikea looking for the perfect gift for my mum. I thought about buying her a vanity, but I wasn't sure. When I turned to get a cart, I saw a girl falling back with a heavy looking box, I ran to catch her and luckily I did. It was awkward because I grabbed her by the waist like those fancy prom photos. I insisted to help her carry her stuff to her car. She thanked me and nicely asked me if I wanted to go to Starbucks with her, I immediately said "Yes, please!". I have this slight obsession with Starbucks, it's quite unhealthy but I couldn't resist!. On our way, she asked for my name. She introduced herself to me in a very friendly and sweet way. Her name was Ariana, Ariana Grande. "What a beautiful name, for a beautiful girl" I thought.
END OF POV
Ariana's POV:
On our way to Starbucks, we introduced ourselves to each other, and boy was he the cutest!. He had that bright irrestistable smile, these gorgeous eyes and can I say, an amazing personality!. He was so sweet! It was getting pretty late so I asked him if he needed a ride home. I drove him to his house and we exchanged numbers, it's quite weird though, how we just met each other and have already gotten each other's numbers, but I'm quite interested in him. I could say his name for hours, thinking about him makes me feel all tingly inside, to think you could learn so much about a person by practically falling on them. What an interesting way to meet a boy.

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!
