Angel's POV
We went back into his basement and sat on the couch. Leon was staring at me, I guess waiting for the story.
I sighed.
"Alright, I met him when I was in seventh grade and he was in eighth. We both were in the principals office-"
"Figures." Leon said.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Anyway, we got to know each other until I was called in there and sent home. After all that we became real cool and would hang to together, skip school yada yada yada. He taught me a lot of stuff that I didn't know about New York. You know everybody tried to keep me sheltered even Jay. He taught me how to smoke and we really liked each other and we liked to cause havoc. Long story short I gave up my virginity to that nigga and now I can't stand his ass." I said.
I looked at Leon and he was just looking at me. He wanted to know, dammit, I'm not perfect, I was stupid.
"So your not a virgin?" He asked. "How old was you?"
"Is that all your ass heard?" I asked.
"I'm just shocked." He said. "So you taking the blame, all that make sense now."
"Yeah, I know it was dumb but that was then." I said.
Leon nodded his head and sat back. I did as well. I took out my phone and I had missed calls for days.
"Yo, look at this." I said.
"That's your ass." He said laughing.
"Not necessarily." I said.
I called my mom back.
"Angel! Where the hell are you?!" She yelled.
"I'm at Leon's, remember the movie night." I said.
"I called that house and nobody answered the phone." She said.
"We went somewhere." I said.
"Where did you go?" She asked.

"To a party, it wasn't bad though." I said.
"Bring your behind home." She said.
"Ma, it's already two in the morning." I said.
"Either you get here or I come get you and if I have to leave the house-"
"Okay, I'm coming. I'll walk with Leon." I said.
All I heard was a dial tone. I looked at Leon.
"She mad?" He asked.
"Walk me home?" I said.
"You better be lucky you don't live far." He said standing.
We left his house and walked to mine.
"You know you could've just told her we fell asleep." He said as we walked.
"Yeah, but what's the point of getting caught in a lie." I said. "I just wanted to have some fun with my best friend before he left."
"Yeah, I hope she buys that." He said laughing.
He walked me up to the door and I used my key to get in and what do you know. Standing right they’re looking like she wanted to strangle me.
"Hi, Ms. Knowles." Leon said.
"Goodnight, Leon." She said.
I turned to close the door. I looked back at my mom and didn't know what to do. I was just awkwardly standing there.
"Go to bed." She said.
I just walked to my room and changed into my night close and went to bed.
Bey's POV
I woke and felt a warm body next to me. I fluttered my eyes open and it was Shawn. He surprised the hell out of me on stage last night especially when I thought he was in LA. I slipped out of bed to do my morning routine. I checked my phone as I brushed my teeth. Text from the girls, missed call from mom. Nothing out the norm. I read the text first, nothing crazy. I decided to call my mom back. I rinsed my mouth out.

"Hello." I heard.
"Hey, mama." I said.
"How was the show last night?" She asked.
"It was great, I had a lot of fun and Shawn surprised me." I said.
"Yeah, I heard." She said.
"What's going on on your end?" I asked as I went to the living room in the hotel.
"Nothing much, your sister went to a party last night." She said.
"She did?" I asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"Oh, well I didn't know about that." I said. "Where she at?"
"Sleep." She said.
"Let me speak to her." I said.
I heard the phone shuffling and Shawn came out the room. I smiled at him and he kissed me.
"Hello." I heard.
"Wake up." I said.
"What's up." She said.
"You up?" I asked.
"I am now, what do you want?" She asked.
Shawn showed me the room service book and I raised my thumb.
"Is that how you talk to your oldest sister." I said.
"Bey, I'm gonna hang up on you." She said.
"No you not." I said. "What you do last night?"
"I went to a party." She said.
"Why?" I asked.
"What you mean why? Because I wanted to go." She said.
"No, you went to get attention." I said.
"What? Really? I already got mad attention, hello I'm on probation." She said.
"I'm not talking about mommy and daddy." I said. "I'm talking about us, as in your sisters. Kelly told me about your slick comments."
"What? What did I say?" She asked.
"Oh, you don't know when you gonna see her again." I said.
"It's the truth." She said.
"It may be but we are your sisters, we not trying to be away from you on purpose." I said.
"I know that." She said.
"I don't think you do." I said.
She smacked her teeth.
"I'm finished in two weeks. We need to find a time for all of us to talk. No mommy, no daddy, just us." I said.
"All y'all gonna be there?" She asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Yeah, okay." She said.
"See there you go." I said.
"What I do?" She asked.
"You saying yeah okay, like it's not gonna happen." I said. "It's not what you saying its how saying it."
She sighed.
"Look, you not gonna piss me off before I eat my breakfast." I said. "So keep all that deep sighing to yourself."
"Are we done?" She asked.
"Yeah, bye." I said and hung up.
Damn, she get on my nerves. I didn't make her miss two years in the actual world that's her and she know how we roll anyway, sad to say I know we always moving and she's placed somewhere but she been doing this her whole life, why is it a problem now?
"I love to see you bonding with your baby sister." Shawn said.
"Oh shut up." I said.
He sat by me.
"What's going on baby, tell me your problems." He said hugging me.
"I don't have a problem, she does." I said.
"It will be alright baby, everything will be okay, don't stress." He said.
"Thank you." I said kissing him and I stood up to go get Blue.
She's not gonna mess up my happy mood and when I woke Blue up I was happy again. It's funny how one persons smile can brighten your whole day.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

8 78Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring. Original cover edited on GIMP. Destroyed city original photo "apocalypse" from Camila Rodrigues on Pixabay.
8 207Strange Angels
An action/horror multiverse-invasion apocalypse story. Sacked from his job for a crime he did commit, Ben Lochty's problems fade to insignificance in the face of flesh-eating monsters, horrors from beyond space, and a dangerous and unwelcome companion. But despite leaving his old job behind, something about humanity's new saviors is suspiciously familiar. This is a horror story and has standing content warnings for death, violence, body horror, and common phobia triggers such as arthropods.
