Jonathan was confused. What had just happened? He had stood up to Tommy and Steve. Had that really happened, or had it just been a dream? He walked, he didn't know where to. Suddenly, he was aware that Nancy was following him. He stopped and turned towards her.
"Look, Nancy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.. I didn't know why I did it, please forgive me. I understand if you hate me.."
Jonathan said. He didn't dare look her in the eyes.
"I'm not mad.. Just.. Thank you" She said. She had tears in her eyes, he saw.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I don't know.. I don't really want to go back to school."
"Me neither. I don't usually skip school, but if you want to you can come home with me, you know, until you feel a little better. I understand if you don't want to"
"No. I mean.. I want to" Nancy said.
Jonathan was stunned. They walked back to his house together, none of them saying any more.
Will was at school and Joyce was working, so there was no one at home.
"You want anything do drink? I think we've got a soda somewhere" Jonathan offered.
"Sure. Thanks" Nancy said and this time, she smiled a little, that wonderful, beautiful smile of hers.
Jonathan fetched them two coke's and they sat down on the couch. For a little while, none of them said anything. Suddenly, Nancy said: "Jonathan?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry."
"About what? You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm sorry, too" Jonathan said.
"No, it was all my fault.. Everything, with Steve and all."
"Steve. Yeah. Do you love him?" Jonathan asked. The question surprised them both.
Jonathan immediately regretted asking. He was about to apologize to her, when Nancy said: "I thought I did. But I suppose I don't. He's been a real jerk, not at least to you, and I'm so sorry for that. You don't deserve that. You're great."

"Really?" Jonathan asked, his cheeks suddenly warm.
"Yeah. I like you." Nancy said. Now she was looking at him.
"Thanks. I like you too."
For a while they just sat there in silence. Then they started talking about stuff that they liked, music, movies. After a while, Nancy said that she probably needed to go home, so she did. It had been the best day Jonathan had had in a long time.

Celestial [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG]
Warning!Profanity, unconventional relationships, drug use, descriptive gore and intimacy. Celestial is a slow-paced and action-packed progression fantasy with elements from the LitRPG genre. The story focuses on the protagonist’s personal growth, violence, sex, exploration and adventure. Follow Zelaria as she embarks on her journey of exploration and adventure, seeking ever greater heights of power. With an affinity for the elusive and mysterious Arcane and a preference for the thrill of close combat she nonetheless chooses to walk the path of a mage. A mage may still use weapons but a warrior rarely casts spells as far as she knows. It’s a logical path for her even if others may call it insanity. What do they know? Most people who choose to specialize in wielding mana tend to pick a mage class aligned with their element. Why become a standard mage, average at everything, when you can use your affinity for fire to become a fire mage and cause destruction with ease? The only problem for Zelaria is that no one seems to know how to get a mage class aligned with the arcane. Approaching 17 years of age she’s still at level 0 while her peers have long left her behind, their classes selected at the age of 15 when they became available. Luck is on her side though as she manages to snag employment as a hauler with a party heading on an expedition to a dungeon abandoned centuries ago. They’re looking for riches and danger while she’s still looking for an answer, one she finds at their destination even if not in the way she expected. Nothing is going to stop her from enjoying all that the world has to offer, not the wish of her parents or even her death. I'll be aiming to upload 5 chapters in bulk every week.
