I looked in the mirror at myself as I threw on my gray tank top, my ripped jean shorts, and my brown leather cowgirl boots. (Don't ask me why!)
I woke up this morning in an extremely good mood! I really hope no one ruins that. Mostly Megan.
I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs to the kitchen where my mom was already making breakfast.
I strolled over to her and gave a soft kiss and a hug.
"Morning mom."
"Good morning baby." She said immediately returning the gesture. Just then my brother walked in without saying a thing, and marched straight to the fridge. Rude!
"Oh GROSS! Greg could you please stop drinking from the carton?" I said a little disgusted as I sat at the kitchen table and bit into my toast.
"Hey Normal! It's called a free country!" I heard a loud noise as my mom hit Greg on the back of his head with her hand.
"Gregory Theodore Jenkins! Get a glass!"
I laughed at my brother and he sat down at the table with a stupid smirk on his face. Classic Greg. "Hey Abby Normal? You need a ride a ride to school?"
"No thanks, Aly's picking me up."
"Suit yourself, but, you know your boyfriends giving me a ride." Just then my whole face turned red and he just grinned at me like an idiot! See when I was fourteen Greg caught me drooling over Nick, and he hasn't stopped bugging me about it! He thinks I like him and of course I do, but i'm not gonna tell him that.
He snapped his fingers in front of my face and said. "Earth to Normal. God! I guess that guy really did take your brains."
"Hey I may be "Abby normal" (I signaled the worldwide "yeah right signal") but at least I'm not an uncivilized ape!"
"Well I'm not the one sitting down drooling over my brother's best friend, and playing patty-cake with my toast! What are you five?"
"I was not drooling! And I'm not five! I'm just chewing slowly instead of... ch-chowing down like a crazy person! And I don't like Nick!" He gave me a yeah-right look, smiled, got up from the table and said.
"Whatever."

School was a drag today. All I saw was Nick and that ugly slut Megan clinging to each other for dear life! She had shoulder length blonde hair and and really intoxicating blue eyes. (gotta love the classics right?) And I don't like her at all! I mean besides the fact of her stealing Nick away from me, she's mean and nasty!

I leaned against my locker as I watched Nick roam through his. His locker was only three lockers down from mine, which made that easy. And I was enjoying the view until... She came. I looked over them, shook my head, and opened my locker. I was putting my books in the locker and just then my best friend Alison came over.
"Boy, would you look at them." She gestured over to Nick and Megan making out. I rolled my eyes at them and her.
"Come on Aly! You know I like him! Leave me alooonee!" I said in a whiney voice.
"Come on Abby, at first I thought it was cute but now it's kinda sad. I mean look at them (gesturing them yet again) Their CLEARLY in love! So why can't you move on with your life?"
"Well, for starters there is a difference between being "in love" and being bed buddies. She is a slut you know that and I know that. Hell, everyone knows that! And I am not giving up on my hopes and dreams because some slutty whore moved to town."
She shook her head at me, obviously annoyed and said in all seriousness.
"It's okay Abby everyone is allowed to have hopes and dreams, EVEN IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!" She said that last part so loud that almost everyone in the hallway was looking, even... them. I quickly put my hand over her mouth and whispered "Shhh... Not so loud!"
"Abby they have absolutely no idea WHAT were talking about!"
That was Aly for you. She never did care what people thought about her or me for that matter. She was loud, rude, and when she didn't like someone she openly expressed it. Which I never had a problem with, those were the reasons why she was my best friend. She was that and I was shy, sweet, and nice to people even when they didn't deserve it. We balanced each other. And that made a perfect friendship that just could not be broken. We started walking down the hall in their direction which was of course by the exit. Aly glared at Megan while I tried not to puke. which was fulfilled when Nick waved at me. I waved back with a smile and kept walking.
****
The rest of the day was really uneventful.
Aly drove me home, and I walked in the house, plopped on the couch flipped to Nickelodeon. (don't judge me) I started to sing along with that commercial you know the one that goes "N-n-n-n-n-n-n nick, Nickelodeon!" Yeah that was the one! and finally spongebob came on which by the way is one of my favorite shows!
I was lying on the couch laughing at squid ward when the front door opened. And Nick walked in. (he is CONSTANTLY letting his self in! Like, would it kill you to knock!) At first I was just gonna lie there, but he was leaning in the door frame with his arms across over his chest just staring at me with an amused look on his face, and wouldn't stop! So I got up and turned the tv off while he pushed his self off the door frame and walked into the living room. I looked at him a little confused.

"Spongebob Square Pants?" My confused look qiuckly turned into a glare, and he started to laugh.
"There is nothing wrong with that show!"
"Yeah cause there is absolutely nothing wrong with a sixteen year old girl watching sponges in the water!" He sat down on the couch. And I stood in front of him now, I shifted uncomfortably and backed up a little. He must of noticed because he said. "Jeez, Abby I was only kidding! There is No need to get upset."
But I wasn't, I didn't even care about the show anymore. I was actually wandering why he was here, when my brother wasn't.I wanted to ask him but instead I said.
"They put it on tv for people to watch, regardless of age. Okay?"
He slightly shook his head and said. "Okay Abby Normal." Okay NOW i'm upset! I looked at him with kinda bugged eyes before I finally said.
"What exactly are you doing here?" He looked at me and laughed through his nose.
"I came over here because I was bored, and my girlfriend can't come over." (TMI) I clenched at the word "girlfriend"
"Um... Okay, i'm gonna go get something to drink. You want something?"
"Nah i'm cool."
"Okay then."
I walked into the kitchen and opened up a red bull. (It gives you wings) And I clearly needed them. I sighed out. I didn't know what to do! Should I bale or go back out there? I took the high risk and went back into the living room. When I went out there he had already started playing my brothers xBox. (boys)
I sat down next to him on the couch, and my heartbeat sped up.
I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, and he turned to face me. And as you know... I FREAKED!!!
"You wanna play?" I looked at him questioningly before finally answering him.
"Um... Sure... Why not." I grabbed the controller from his hand and he showed me how to play.
All we did was steal cars and do illegal stuff. Including KILL people! I just do not understand boys! Why would they play something so violent? But, Nick was enjoying it and I was enjoying him!
We were having so much fun we wern't even following the rules anymore and ended up trying to kill each other! I was winning and he started putting his hand in my face. I laughed historically. When I killed him it screamed game over because he was my partner and if one of us dies then the game is over. We finally shut the game off and just started to talk.
"I cannot believe that game!" I started and he just held his head down and chuckled.
"I still can't believe you killed me."
"Yeah who knew I had a secret talent as a game expert?" He laughed and started to look at me. He is sooo cute was all I could think about at that time. Why couldn't he just like me? My cliched eye lock moment was ruined by my idiot brother. Who walked in all loud and messed up everything! We were both sitting there when he walked in and looked at us both and I knew exactly what he was thinking.
"So! What you guys doing?"
"I was just teaching Abby here how to play a friendly game of grand theft auto." He smiled at me and I pushed him playfully.
"Yeah Right! I kicked your butt!"
"Yeah that's only because I let you."
"We wern't even playing the game right!" Greg looked at us questioningly before looking at the tv. (which was off)
"So what happened to the game?"
"We turned it off because I am about to go to my room and do my homework." I said as I got up off the floor. (We were no longer on the couch) "Okay whatever." He turned to Nick who was already up off the floor and standing next to me. And then he smirked that evil smirk that I know all too well. And I glared at him. He caught on it and wiped that smirk right off of his face. He shrugged and I began to cleanup our little mess.
"Hey um Greg you coming to that party Megan's throwing Friday?"
"Duh... Why wouldn't I? Darci would kill me!"
"I don't know, i'm just making sure I wasn't the only one who wasn't being dragged against his will."
Just then they both looked at me. I was preoccupied with something until I felt eyes burning on me, so I looked up. "What?" I asked and Greg started shaking his head at Nick. Almost kinda like telling him no. It kind of got weird for a moment. But was quickly dropped when Nick asked me if I wanted to go. I looked at him for a minute. I didn't like parties and I certainly didn't like getting all dressed up for them! But I said yes anyways. After a while Nick left and Greg grinned from ear to ear! I hated when he thought he knew something he didn't it was annoying!
"I knew you liked him!" My eyes widened extremely before I stormed out of the living room and upstairs to my own room. I dropped down on the bed with a huge smile on my face. I didn't like party's but I was really looking forward to this one!

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before. Perhaps they will sing you the songs of what our clans' ancient customs tore. Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.

8 149Blood and Soul
Our realm has always been split into two: Those from the old world.And those from the new. When a deadly and magical plague created yet another caste in our realm, those of the new world thought it a punishment from the gods for their destruction and abandonment of their roots, but those in the old world knew the truth. That was to be the beginning of a long and drawn out war between creatures that have roamed the realm for centuries and monsters that never should have came into being.
8 181Power of Possibility
In 8th century Greece, legends and myths were an everyday occurrence. Stories of great demigods like Heracles were told around the hearth to the young and old alike. Aleksander was not one that really cared much about legends. But it's usually those that do not seek to be a legend, that ends up becoming one. Thrust out of everything he knows he is forced on a voyage that leads him further away than any gods had gone in the legends. Will the new world favour him like the great Achilles and the strong Heracles, or will he merely be a footnote in history? Join him in his unexpected rise to myth in a history unknown to the modern world. P.S. Cover is not the MC. It's a depiction of the Ashen one. Updates every Mon/Wed/Fri
