"Girl losen up. It's a party for goodness sakes",ebony said grabbing me a drink from the table.
"I can't believe I let you drag me into this",I told her while taking a sip of my punch. I scrunched up my face to the taste.
"Is this spiked?",I asked her.
She looked at me and laughed. I looked at the drink and placed it back down at the table. When I turned around to find ebony, she was already up in a corner talking to some guy. I seriously can't believe I let her talk me into coming to this damn party. "Hey your the pretty girl from the cafeteria",the host of the party said.
"Yea And your the guy with the flyers",I said smiling.
"Yeah but I hope that's not the only thing you'll remember me for."
"Who said I remembered you?"
"You don't?",he said raising a eyebrow. I half smiled and walked away.
"You playing hard to get",he said following me.
"Why should I? When I could just tell you I'm not interested."
"Ouch that hurts."
"I'm sorry",I said.
"I saw you in that A & P class, your studying for nursing or something?"
"Dental program."
"Nice. Maybe I could get a discount."
"Your teeth are fine to me",I said seeing his pearly whites.
"Was that a compliment?",he said smiling.
"Take it how you want to",I said. Just then, Ozuna's 'La modelo' blasted through the speakers.
"You know this song?",he asked me.
"Yea I'm familiar even though I don't know what they're talking about."
He laughed and asked me,"wanna dance?"
I looked over at ebony and she was already on the dance floor getting her groove on so I accepted this guy's request. He led me on the dance floor held onto my waist. 'Bésame, báilame ahora

Me mete sudando, su cuerpo de mora
De todas las babys ella es la championa
Se pone loquita si me escucha en la emisora, y ahora
Bésame, báilame ahora
Me mete sudando, su cuerpo de mora
De todas las babys ella es la championa
Se pone loquita si me escucha en la emisora, y ahora' we grind to the beat and I was actually enjoying myself. Everything was erased from my mind and I felt free. After the song was over, I looked at him and he smiled. He took my hand and led me to the table. "I don't want any of that spiked punk you got there",I said.
"Cmon. I won't even fill ya cup."
"Okay just a little." He gave me my cup and led me outside away from the party scene. "What does that song mean?",I asked him. I've always wanted to know but I knew it's something freaky.
"It's about a girl he mets for the first time. He loves her and lusts after her but he doesn't even know her name."
"Is that your dilemma with me?",I asked out of curiosity.
"I mean there's some truth to the lyrics",he said smiling. We sat on the steps and continued conversing.
"How do you know what it meant?",I asked taking a sip of the punch.
"I'm Dominican so I'm familiar with the language",he smirked.
"See I knew you wasn't just a regular light-skinned guy."
We both laughed. He allowed his dimples to show and he was really looking cute right about now.
"Yea. I'm not just a regular yellow guy. Where are you from? Your giving me carribean vibes."
"Take a guess."
"My guess would probably be way off",he said smiling. I could tell he was nervous.

"I'm Haitian."
"Dominicana meets haiti. Is what they say about Haitian women true?"
"What do you hear about us?",I said taking another sip.
"That y'all are amazing in bed."
"Uhm. Idk. Who told you that",I said laughing.
"I'm sorry. Was that too foward?"
"Definitely."
"My apologies."
Just then, ebony called my phone and I got up.
"Hey I didn't get your name?",he said touching my hand.
"Khia. Yours?"
"Santiago. Hope to see you around beautiful." I smiled and went back inside to get ebony. When I found her, she was drunk and wasted. Her hair was all over the place, one of her heels was missing, her makeup was smearing. I guess that's what drugstore makeup will do to you.
"I need to go home before my mom notices I'm gone",she said.
"Girl what? You sneaked out??",I said laughing.
"I had to get here somehow. Let's go it's almost 1 in the morning",she said grabbing my arm and walking out the door with me. As we went out, I passed Santiago who was coming back in. He winked at me I just smiled back. I took the keys from ebony and I drove cause she definitely was not in the right state of mind to drive. Ebony and I lived close to each other. Her neighborhood was next to mine so after dropping her off, I parked her car and walked to my house. When I got home, I saw 4 missed calls from trey. I wonder why he was calling me. Probably another booty call that I wasn't in the mood for. I called him back and he answered. "You awake?",I asked.
"Yeah I called you and you ain't answer. Wasup?",he said sounding pissed.
"Sorry I was at a party. Ebony dragged me to go with her. I just got home",I said removing my makeup with a makeup wipe. "What was you doing at a party?"
"I just went with ebony. I didn't even want to go."
"Why I didn't hear about this party?"
"Ok I know your not jealous right now. You honestly have no right to be."
"Ain't nobody jealous. I'm just saying when I come home from work and don't hear from you all day, I think something's up. You should've told me. And your not even a party person, I know that's not your scene so why you went despite ebony telling you to?"
"Trey I'm not obligated to you. I'm not your girlfriend so where I go is my business."
"Oh now you pulling that card?"
"I'm just telling the truth. I'm not tied down to you. So you missed me with that bs. Im going to bed. I'll talk to you in the morning. Bye",I said and hang up. It felt so good to say that because I needed him to know that I'm single. I can do whatever I please since I'm not his girl. But a part of me regretted that I said that to him because deep down I cared about him and his heart.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.

Ruthless Reincarnator
Its a first try at a different approach of the "i've reincarnated in another world" genre. No "i wanna go back home", or "i wanna make friends" stuff. In fact, the most emotional moments will probably happen in the Intermission chapters. On the bright side, i have already completed the main story! And it is a short one, of course. Only 100~~something pages long (i'm writting the intermission chapters for now) and every chapter shall be mostly 1 or 2 pages long only. So everyone should have something to read for the next 2 months or something. Obs: I have also opened a Patrenon. I intend on posting 1 chapter every day and asking for donations in case people want more. Why ? ´cause i like money. Have a good reading everyone.
