《Worth》36

I woke up kinda earlier than Santiago who was snoring next to me. I've completely forgot to check my grades because I've been having fun on this trip. My MacBook was pretty far and I didn't feel like walking to go get it. I left my phone on the charger hook on the sofa so my other option was to use Santiago's phone that was on his charger hook next to him.
I reached for it and of course there was a code but I knew it so I put it in and the phone was unlocked. I peeked over to see if he was asleep and he was. I didn't think he would have a problem with me using his phone but you know how guys get about they phones. I went to his safari and typed in the school website. I logged into my account and i looked at my final grade.
"92..95..89?!",I yelled in excitement totally forgetting that tiago was next to me asleep. He woke up and looked at me.
"What are you doing..with my phone?",he asked.
"Checking my grades. I got 2 A's and 1 B. It was a 89, like she couldn't give me one more point to get that A",I said.
"Babe. You know what time it is?"
"Yeah it's 9:45",I said reading it on the top of his phone screen.
"Yea it's early",he said.
"No because we've been waking up early all week to see your fam."
"Exactly, today is the day to catch up on sleep babe. Your over here checking grades."
"Yup. Wanna check yours?",i said handing him his phone.
"Nah. I'm going back to sleep",he said tossing to the other side of the bed. I thought he would've been mad that i had his phone, I guess he had nothing to hide.
Since I had it, i might as well did some snooping around not that i needed to because he's a pretty loyal type a guy. I scrolled through his call logs and I saw nothing important. Then i looked at his text messages. I saw Marisol's name and I opened the conversation to see what they possibly had to talk about. The conversation wasn't much of a conversation because it was all threads of Marisol texting him talking about how much she misses him and was sorry for what she did. She was constantly texting my man Goodmorning and I took it upon myself to respond back. After responding, I placed the phone back on the charger hook and crossed my arms.

"Your done snooping?",Santiago said getting up. I thought he went back to sleep.
"Why you still have her number?"
"I don't know."
"If your not gonna respond back, then delete her number."
He shook his head and deleted the number but went through the text message and saw what I wrote back to her.
"Really?",he said with a smirk.
"Really. You don't want me talking to my ex, then don't talk to yours because although I'm miles away, if I tell him to come get me he will fly down here and get me. Try me."
"Please don't tell me your crazy too",he said smiling.
"Don't bring it out of me. Think about cheating and I will cut your dick off."
"I love you",he said laughing and pulling me into a hug. I took the opportunity to sit on him facing him.
"You don't got a choice but to",I said.
"Oh really?"
"Yes really. Now that I got your attention, check your grades",I said. He logged into his phone but i heard a clicking sound.
"Did you just take my picture?",I said trying to snatch the phone from him but he was too strong. He showed me the pic and it was already posted on his Instagram titled 'My boo' (usher voice). I laughed so hard cause Tiago was such a cornball I swear. He wasn't that much older than me but he definitely was a old soul and I loved that about him.
"Alright alright. Let me check my grades babe",he said reaching for the phone. He logged in and he didn't really show any emotion. "So",i said looking with him.
"Omg You got straight A's that's amazing babe",I said hugging him.
"Yeah I guess i did",he said smiling.
"I'm so proud of you. I knew you could do it",I said caressing his face. We was just about to kiss but someone knocked on our room door and said, "room service." We both looked at each other.
"You ordered food?",tiago asked me.
"No",i said. Santiago hopped out the bed and went straight to his suitcase and pulled out a gun. He motioned me to be quiet as he stepped towards the door. He loaded the gun and opened the door. He nearly almost killed his father cause that's who was behind the door.

"Lo siento pops. I thought you was someone else",Santiago said sighing a sigh of relief. His father jumped back and said, "what are you doing with a gun?"
"It's for protection",he said while telling me to get him a shirt. I tossed him a Calvin Klein white t-shirt. Santiago unloaded the gun and took the bullets out.
"Do you know you can go to jail hijo?"
"Dad i'm allowed to have it on me."
"For What? You are in your country."
"I have a license to carry",Santiago said. His father was really shocked. Did he not know Santiago owned a gun? Well I didn't know either until recently so I can't talk. Once Santiago put the unloaded gun up, his father was able to calm down.
"The family is going to the mall today. Get ready in 15 and meet us down in the lobby",his father said and shook his head one last time at Santiago before closing the door.
"So who actually knows you own a gun?",I asked Santiago.
"So far, you and now my entire family",he said going to the bathroom.
"Did you see his face? He was more scared of you than you were of him."
"Yeah i have that effect on people."
I looked at him and laughed.
"I had no idea you was like that."
"Like What?",he said running the water to brush.
"Gangster."
"I'm not. I'm just not a sap nigga either."
I feel like I was still getting to know the man I fell in love with and that's something I didn't mind. I changed into a pair of jean shorts and a half top that revealed my belly button. I put in my belly button ring and black gladiator sandals and applied mouse to my hair. I didn't feel like wearing earrings today so I didn't. I applied my make up last because Santiago was taking forever in the bathroom.
"You ready?",he said dressed in capris and his white t-shirt. Santiago was the finest man on earth but I wasn't bout to tell him that though. I applied setting spray to my face and checked to see if there was any imperfections.
"Now i am",i said. He gazed at me from the mirror and kissed me on my lips.
Santiago
"Since when did you start carrying a gun hijo? And what's worst you brought it here. You can get locked up don't you know that?",my dad scowled at me in a whisper tone. Khia was walking ahead of us with my cousins and my mom while my dad and I stayed behind and walked a little slow but close enough to keep up with them.
"Dad I have a legal license. It's not like I'm out here carrying a random gun doing crimes",I answered.
"Doesn't matter. You might as well be. Next your gonna tell me your doing drugs?"
"I'm not doing drugs dad",i said with a smirk. I knew my parents would freak out a little bit about catching me with a gun but not to this extent. Its like my pops is judging me because i carry a gun.
"What are you gonna use that for?",he asked.
"It's just in case something happens dad. There's a lot of crime here cmon you know this. And you know they hatin on Haitians right now."
"True. I understand but just watch yourself. I don't want you to get locked up son",my dad said sympathizing with me.
"Cause I ain't got money to bail you out",he finished causing me to laugh.

That is until the summoned hero throws a Hail Mary and gets himself transported to a tutorial world before the summoning can be completed. Add in a clumsy goddess and a broken planet and that is just where our story begins... Greetings all, thanks for taking the time to read this. This is my first story here on RRL and it's becomming one of the things I look forward to working on each day. As of June 2020, the story description has been updated (now that the characters have told me what was actually going on this author thought it prudent to update this) . Updates will be sporatic as i have time to juggle real life with writing. You the readers have become an integral part of the story helping to decide how things will progress, so enjoy the story and please leave a review or rating so this author can continue to improve the story. New chapters coming soon with edits to existing ones in process As a side note, I wish I could add a science tag to this. While this is still fiction, I have been incorporating real life scientific theories and explanations for how things could be *plausibly* explained. (No, I will not lecture on these points, but they are added to author notes) ~badw0lf

The Titanic Fanatic
John Doe is a relatively intelligent high school junior. He is in all the super advanced classes, gets straight A's, and to top it off, he is pretty lazy as well. However, he is quite cocky about it and has the physical strength to back it up. Needless to say, he is the target of lots of jealousy in school. No one dares to bully him, because THAT is more or less a metaphorical death wish, but he is the center of lots of gossip and attention. He has a good life. Fortunately for John, his school is the largest in the world and so there were still many students who didn't know about him to annoy him. Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives. This student will show John something that will change his life forever... **No, this is not a romance(yet at least) and the "certain student" is a guy lol so don't get any ideas** Author's Message: Hey, everyone. I was a big reader on RoyalRoadL for three years now, but I made an account recently because I felt like writing something. This story is based on Greek Mythology but I will make up and change a lot of it however I want(note the "based"). This is my first story and I am very busy(I'm a high school junior like John lol) so I will have lots of writer's block and erratic updates. Content Warning-Keeping those tags just in case as this probably won't be a baby friendly story(jk babies r kewl, just not here)-
