Dear Diary,
I saw Enoch passing by my way. I didn't know what do do, I used to smile and greet him, but I feel so awkward, so I looked the other way. Beside, he's the star of the basketball team. He'll never notice a geek like me.

Dear Diary,
I passed the corridor and saw the pretty smart girl I usually sit with in chemistry. Olive. I tried to smile at her, but she looked the other way. Besides, I'm just a guy who shoots some hoops. While she is a pretty honour student. She'll never like a guy like me.

~*~*~
I sighed.
Here we go again.
I saw Olive today again. But, as usual, she looks at the other way. *sighs* guess I won't bring back the old times, huh?
We used to be Best Friends, but ever since the day I joined the basketball team and became the star player, everything change between us.
My next class is Chemistry. Which I have with Olive.
Guess I'll have to deal with this awkwardness more...
« Time Skip: After Classes »
The bell rang, telling us that it's time to go home.
While going home, I went to the park. Thinking I was alone. And yet again, I saw the pretty and smart honour student. Olive.
Ugh! I can't take it anymore!!! I need to tell her already!!!
"Olive..." I said softly, catching her attention. She slowly looked up, still sitting on the swing.
"Oh...if you want to be alone, I can leave already." Olive stood up, not even waiting for me to answer her question.
"Wait!" I stopped her from leaving, by holding her arm. I gently pulled her arm and walked towards the swing. Mentioning for her to sit back down. She did, and I sat beside her.

"What happened to us? We used to be Best Friends..." I said, almost whispering the last part. But she still heard it. She cleared her throat. Then said.
"Well....that...um...yah know... a guy like you, popular, star player of the basketball team, friends and is with a geek like me... it's sort of like two opposites together in one place...do you get what I mean?" I frowned at that. Does she always think so lowly of herself?
Then, I got an idea. I smiled.
"Hey, Olive..." I started. She looked at me, then hummed in response.
She's so cute...
My face became red because of what I said in my head.
"What's the definition of love?" Her face became a little red. Or is it just my imagination?
"Um...an intense feeling of deep affection.."
I nodded, but then said, "Do you want to know what is love to me?" She looked at me suspiciously, but nodded anyway.
"What is Love?
In Math: An Equation
In History: A War
In Chemistry: A Reaction
In Art: A Heart
In Me: You."
I recited the quote, and every now and then, lean in closer and closer to Olive. When Olive realized that we're only centimeters apart, she immediately became flustered.
I smirked at her flustered face. But I know I'm a blushing mess right now too. She keep on closing and opening her mouth, proving me that she's speechless.
"Is that the meaning of love to you too?" I teasingly asked.
I touched her left cheek, stroking it. Then, I leaned in even closer. I closed my eyes, closing the gap between our lips too.
Olive's lips taste like strawberry. It's soft and so gentle. It's as if my lips made contact with a feather.
The kiss was not short, it was not long either. It was just right. It was gentle, passionate, tender, and it shows our love with each other.
"So...is that your definition of love too, Olive?"
She smiled, wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Yes... I Love You too."

Margrave's Divinity (Rewrite)
Power always comes with a price. Seventeen years ago, obsidian towers thousands of feet tall erupted from the earth near the world’s population centers. Strange magic accompanied their appearance—powerful and inexplicable abilities granted to lucky humans, called Embers for the burning in their eyes. Lyle isn’t lucky, though. When the recently-unemployed college dropout finally manages to get his hands on a Cinder, he is utterly disappointed to find that he will never be an Ember like his father or brother. Before he even has time to process his failure, a strange Ember shoves him through a tear in reality and into the cave of a dragon, where the titanic beast claims to be an ancient goddess of myth and legend. She has a gift for him, but it comes with a warning. War is coming. --- Posting Thursdays and Sundays at 8am Central. Confused about the rewrite? See my letter to previous readers here.
8 340The King of Desires
Escana is a world where war is but another round of a game, the Reign of Chaos, a game that the Gods have been playing for eons. On Escana, war is merely a form of entertainment for the Demon Lords to sate their hunger for destruction and their thirst for power. Escana is a place where peace is but an illusion, a calm before a storm, and the short breaks between the games. All mortals, human, dwarves, elves and the other races living on Escana, they are consigned to live inside that living hell from the moment of their birth.It should be just another unspectacular round of The Reign of Chaos. It should be just another dulled war among the great many that have been fought before this. It should be just another day and another year. And yet, in this newest round, appeared a prince who is prophesized to bring about an end to everything. Fearless is his name, a man of many identities. A jokester. A charlatan. A lover. An Ender. He is a self-proclaimed the-world-biggest-fool among the most foolish. He is the Prince among princes.
8 79The Order of Sekhmet
Meet Rowan who may or may not be really enthusiastic about telling you how his life is with the goddess of war. It is naturally far from being peaceful, but the blade-wielding, fourth-wall-breaking protagonist certainly wouldn't have it any other way. Egyptian deities? Check. Sword fights? Check. Demonic arts? Check. Burning passion? Check. After all, blood is a good moisturizer. Please note that I have flagged my content. There is and will be content that may trigger you, particularly if you've been through toxic relationships. While I do my best not to paint these moments in the best light, they exist and are crucial parts of my story. Things are kicked up a notch beginning with chapters named 'The Old World'. Everything before is (nearly) vanilla. Update schedule is every Thursday/Friday, varying times!
8 247Evolution-From the Bottom to the Top
XXXX-A poor otaku chemist gets rekt on a hijacked bus and reincarnates as a single cell. It spirals from there. A poor student makes one bad choice on a terrible day. Unfortunately he couldn't save himself. But hey, at least school taught him what the Powerhouse of the Cell is! Warning: Trash novel. You've been warned Cover no copyright Hey guys, this is my first story and I'll try to update as much as possible so please give us authors some slack! Oh and don't forget to tell me if there are any mistakes, thx and there's a little profanity.)
8 79HUD: Wargame (Sci-Fi GameLit)
★★★★★UNFRIGGENBELIEVABLE!!!!!! "HUD: Wargame is a sci-fi GameLit worth reading." -TienSwitch ★★★★★Rock-solid FPS GameLit. "Nic - the main character - is an ambitious, hyper-competitive perfectionist, and the story fortunately handles him correctly in that it does not push these traits too far." -Akaso ★★★★★This is a good one! "This is one of those stories where you read the first few paragraphs and can just tell that the author has the chops to tell a story. It's engaging and the rules are well thought out and clearly explained. The action is punchy and exciting. Anyway, read it." -HonourRae In the future, everything is a game. Even war. 18-year-old Nic Sigfried wants the high score. Virtually piloting a real-life robot, he'll face off against his peers with the help of his AI guidance system, RTIFIS. The prize? New worlds across the galaxy that are ripe for human conquest and terraforming. It sounds glamorous on paper, but this job might be more dangerous than he thought... HUD: Wargame is the first of a five-part sci-fi series featuring GameLit elements. HUD: Wargame contains some (simulated) violence and very sparing PG-13 profanity. Updates Monday-Thursday-Saturday.
8 429Ephemeral Cycle
Mature +18[?]------Hiatus notice, I'll be rewriting this story heavily over the coming weeks. It isn't going where I wanted it to, bare with me for awhile. Ideally, a months time, but time will tell.------Andrew Marks, among over a million, 'players,' is forcibly recruited into a game where the reality and fiction interlace. Where the slightest error will spell death. For yourself, for your new found allies, or the world. 'Choices have consequences,' is a lesson the Corporation wishes to remind people. In this new world where many fall each and every day, a man simply tries to avoid it all, yet the world isn't so kind as to let him off so easily.--------Chapters do tend to be on the longer side, well, in comparison to other fictions I've read on this site. Typically anywhere from 2500-4500 words depending on my mood at the time.In addition chapter releases are largely dependent on my mood so it should have at least two chapter released a week, however, I'll be busy for the next bit so it will be subject to change. --------Anyways, please bare in mind this is the first creative writing piece I have created with the exception of a novel I started writing just prior to this one. I'd appreciate any help or guidance you may give me to better my writing. Be it characters, background or setting, I'm quite sure there are a few loopholes.This is intended for a mature audience, viewers discretion is advised. I digress, enjoy, rate, comment, and let me know how it's treating you so far! I'll take any help I can get!
