《Flatmates》21
Advertisement
The next few days fly by in a blur. Phonecalls, emails, editing. I even make it into the office to make sure that everything is ready for me to leave. The new drop will arrive whilst we are away so JJ and Josh agree to take the photos and list everything on the website, and my team know they can call me at anytime if they have any issues. It feels weird leaving it all in the hands of other people, but I know I can trust them.
Between me, Alex, George and Will we get all of the videos edited and uploaded in record time. All that will need to be done whilst we are away is putting them live.
The owner of the Villa also emailed me back and has agreed to stock the kitchen and bar with more food and drink than we will ever need, which I of course paid for.
All that was left to do now was pack, and get to the airport on time tomorrow.

Harry arrived at the apartment at about 8pm, deciding that it would be easier to stay at ours so that he couldn't oversleep. George and Alex were both packed and ready, just leaving me.
I pull my suitcase out from my wardrobe, opening it and placing it on my bed. I grab all of my toiletries and underwear, stuffing them in the suitcase, before nipping down the hall to grab all of my packages that had been arriving over the past few days.
I won't lie, I ordered an entire holiday wardrobe. I didn't really have any summer clothes, so I just ordered everything that I would need for the holiday. It was easier than going to Westfield. I open all of the packages, folding everything and putting it in the case. Then I throw in my phone charger and zip it up. I was done.

I throw my purse and essentials into my handbag, prep my outfit ready for the morning, and gather all of the holiday documents together. I like to be organised. Then I dump everything by the door ready for the morning, and join the boys in the living room.
'All I need to do in the morning is get dressed' I announce as I flop down next to George.
'I am impressed, I thought it would take you hours to decide on the clothes alone' Alex stifled a laugh.
'I ordered everything online, so all I had to do was put it in the suitcase.' We all laugh, before George turns on the TV and pulls up Netflix. We all agree on a film, and wind down ready for an early night and an early start.
'Jess.. Jess? JESS.' Suddenly I am awake, Alex leaning over me and shaking my arm. 'You fell asleep. Come on, you need to go to bed. We have to be up in five hours.'
I pull myself up into a sitting position, and see Harry passed out on the other sofa and George nowhere to be seen. He must have gone to bed already.
'Okay, okay. Im going' I mumble as I stand and head towards the hallway. 'See you in a few hours.'
I jump in the shower, knowing I wouldn't want to do it at 5am. I tie my damp hair up into a messy bun and crawl into my bed exhausted. The thought of a 5am alarm was a killer, no matter how excited I was.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

8 140Rebirth, but not quite.
A boy is born in a fantasy world with knowledge of modern earth, however he does not have personal memories of living or dying before. Good news is he was born in militaristic branch of the royal family and the variety of forms and uses of magic in this world are great fun, bad news is with status come expectations. Follow him as he makes his place in the world all the while escaping boredom with all his might. This is a story without a big baddie trying to destroy the world, without gods choosing heroes to give powers to and without systems that determine what you can and can't do. This is my first fiction and i'm open to suggestions. I plan on using a few cliches while putting my own spin on things, if i write something that feels too much like every other fictions, please say so.
