《22 Letters✓》Chapter 11: Black Looks Real Good On You(Part 1)
Advertisement
I didn't know that Nathan left because he wanted to get supplies for hosting a party this weekend.
And I didn't know I was invited.
Normally on a Friday, I'd go home and just sleep. Or maybe watch Netflix, it depends.
But now that Nathan is hosting a party and is inviting me, I might as well go there.
The entire school was buzzing with gossip of this sudden announcement. Nathan hadn't mentioned it to anyone, only mentioning it today in the morning.
I reread the letter I wrote him for the fifth day.
The problem with this is that I can't get to his locker with him being there with his team. There was a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to find Cece staring at me.
"Party tonight?" She asked.
I nodded, "It's Nathan." I looked at her for a while. She never used to have her hair down, I was always used to seeing it in a bun or tied neatly in a ponytail.
I also wasn't used to her wearing jeans. She loved wearing dresses, sweats and skirts, not jeans.
And she didn't have her glasses.
"And you? Can you see?" I waved a hand in front of her face.
"Yes I can, dummy. These are contacts." She rolled her eyes, "Remember I have a doctor's appointment at the end of the month?"
"February has never been good to you." I chuckled as I played with her hair a bit.
"Stop it. Now, what do we have here?" She took the note out of my hand, "Really, Nathan? Just go up there and tell him."
"No way, Derek gave me 24 days to do it, why should I blow it now?" I asked her.
"Because that will show you're not a wimp. Besides, how are you gonna deliver it anyway? He's guarding his locker like a bulldog."

"I think he knows that the person goes to this school, so he'd trying to time them." I pointed out, but an idea popped into my head, "You know, I kinda like this new look on you."
"Stop flirting with my girlfriend, Leo." Derek came and put an arm around her shoulders.
"I'm not flirting, I'm just saying that Nathan hasn't seen this look on you." I put the letter in her hands, "He'd love it, won't he?"
"I'm not going to deliver this." She frowned, "What if he thinks it's me?"
"He won't. I told him that I won't reveal myself until...well, I don't know-"
"In about 17 days, right? I'm counting." Derek smirked.
"Whatever. Cece please, if not just go distract him from his locker or something." I begged.
"Fine." She flipped her hair and walked over there.
Derek and I watched. Cece kept on talking, and soon enough the team dispersed. When the team dispersed, Cece asked Nathan a question, and he immediately looked over my side. Smiling and throwing me a wink, he walked over to us.
I fucking hate Cecelia sometimes.
Cecelia stood by Nathan's locker and laughed, whilst slipping the letter in discreetly. She gave me a thumbs up, and pranced away. Nathan gave Derek a fist bump and then he looked at me.
"Leon." He smiled.
"Hey, Nate." I greeted him, a little nervous.
"So I came to know if you're coming to the party I'm hosting tonight? It's gonna be a blast, and all my guys are coming."
"Dress code?"
"It's black, Leo." Derek muttered,"I gotta go to my next class. See you at the party." Derek left in a hurry, leaving me with Nathan.
"So, are you going to come?" Nathan asked me, running a hand through that gorgeous hair.
I nodded, "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Alright then, Lee. I'll see you there." He gave me a hug, and for a brief moment, I thought our cheeks touched.
It was a nice feeling, and the butterflies in my stomach grew more each day talking to him.
We broke apart, and he waved at me while I went for my Economics class.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
