《Little Geek *COMPLETED*》Twenty-Four

(A/N: OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 1K READS! And 100 votes?! AHHH!! My birthday is this Thursday and this was an awesome early present. I love you all
Why are you even with this loser, anyway? You know I like you more.
Maybe, its the fact that you have a girlfriend.
We both know I'm only dating her to make you jealous.
Sure.
"Claire?" I hear Louis's voice ask.
"Hm?" I say, "Sorry. I was lost in thought."
"It's alright," He smiles, "I asked what you were doing after High School,"
"Well, I'd really like to be a geneticist," I state.
I already knew that.
"How long would you be in school?" He asks.
"Six years. 4 in college and 2 in medical school. I'd get a masters, but I'm sure it's worth it. I've always loved genetics." I tell him.
"I sure could've used you in biology," He jokes.
I laugh, "I'm sure I could have helped you."
Nice, Claire. It's not like you already help me in every subject.
I continue to ignore the voice throughout the entire date with Louis. It''s a real pain in the butt. Still, I continue to ignore it. By the time Louis and I are done eating, it's pouring raining.
And he brought you in a motorcycle. At least I would have had enough sense to bring you in a car.
"I'm sorry. I should've-"
"Its fine, Lou. I don't mind getting a little wet," I admit.
Excuses, Excuses.
Louis smiles, and we run to the motorcycle. He drives to my house as fast as possible. As Louis drives, I think about how perfect this seems. The rain, holding close to Louis as he brings me home. But I can't deny how different and imperfect it feels. I feel like something... Almost everything, is missing. I feel as nothing is right and I need to run. My mind tries to convince me this is right, while my heart feels it's wrong. Louis pulls into my driveway, and brings me to my porch.

"I had a really great time," He tells me.
"I did too," I smile.
Claire, get inside. Now.
Why should I? You don't listen to me.
Well, I'm also a figment of your imagination, created by you. Technically, you're not following yourself.
Louis leans in, and I let him. Feeling as if I have something to prove, I lean closer to Louis and kiss him first.
Louis's lips are sweet, innocent, but don't create the same sensation I get when I'm with Liam. When I'm with Liam, everything feels so... perfect. Synchronized, planned, meant to happen..With Louis it's... It's all wrong. But Liam is wrong. He's wrong for me in general. I've known that since the day I've met him...
Lips part from mine, and I see Louis's face.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks.
I nod, almost unable to speak, as he drives off in the rain.
I walk inside to an empty home. I see a note on th counter, but don't bother reading it. Immediately, I grab my phone and just stare at it. I want to hear his voice. I want to talk to him. I want to tell him I love him. I want to admit it to him. I want a happily ever after. I want him, but all I do is stare. Nothing happens. Nothing rings. All I see is a black screen with my reflection. A confused girl, who isn't confused at all, in a way. She knows exactly what she wants. She can't have it. Eventually, I just walk up to my room, not knowing what to do. I grab some pajamas, and head into the shower. I continously think. I just keep thinking. About Liam, About Louis, About... everything. Thoughts just swirl through my head. After that, I get out, thinking I know what I need to do.
With wet hair and PJs on, I grab my phone, but it's ringning. An unknown number. Hesiatantly, I answer.
"Hello?" I ask the person on the other line.
"Hi, uhm... Is this Claire?" The girls voice on the other line asks.

"This is she..." I state, a bit wierded out.
"Good, I'm Demi. I'm in your English class?" She tells me, a certain oddness in her voice.
"Yeah, I see. Why'd you call?" I inquire.
"Oh... It's a stupid reason, really. Niall gave me your number. He's really sweet... I... I don't know how to say this..." She says.
"Say what?" I question.
For a moment, Demi is silent, "I... I kissed your boyfriend."
"Who?" I ask a bit confused.
"Niall... I... I kissed Niall," she admits.
"Demi, Niall and I aren't dating," I tell her.
"Really?" She asks, a bit shocked, "That's what Liam told me..."
"Liam's not really known for telling the truth," I state.
"I'm sorry for bothering you..." She says.
"It's alright. have a good rest of your day, Demi."
"You too." She sighs, and I hang up.
I'm quite shocked Liam told her I was dating Niall. He lied to Demi, honestly, I shouldn't really be shocked, then my mind wanders to the night I met his dad... The night we danced. It almost felt as if Liam was a completely different person that night. Like, he was the real him. Not the act he puts on at school, because under all those tattoos, all there really is is a broken boy looking for his missing pieces. And that is the boy I fell in love with.
Then something pops into my head.
Niall and Demi kissed.
I quickly grab my phone and call Niall.
"'Ello?" I hear his Irish accent.
"When were you planning on telling me you kissed Demi?" I ask in a motherly tone.
Niall is quiet for a moment, then asks, "How did you find out?"
"She called. She was told by our little friend, Liam, that we were dating. Out of guilt, she called me and told me that you two kissed. When did this happen, Niall? I told you about Liam and I," I tell him.
He starts, "It was New Years Eve. At the party. Liam had lost Demi. I don't know how, but he did. She was a little tipsy, but I was fully drunk. We had started talking. We exchanged a few words. I'm pretty sure I told her she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. We had each had even more to drink. Then, midnight came around. We were right next to each other, drunk, and... we kind of... made out. After that we spent the rest of the night together. Until we both passed out. It was... sweet. The next morning wasn't, though. Payne had found us and gave me a black eye. I was quite shocked he hadn't told anyone. I'm glad I didn't forget... I guess it's an Irish thing... you know? But... that was the night I realized... I was in love with her. Don't kill me. i was drunk. And you aren't so innocent either."
I'm silent a little while after, then say, "I understand..."
There's a silence for a while, then I tell him, "Love makes you do some pretty stupid things, huh?"
"Some pretty stupid things," He states.
Another awkward silence.
"I kissed, Louis, Niall." I admit.
"Are you two a thing now?" he asks.
"I don't know," I start, "Can you date someone and be in love with another? Or do you really even love one?"
"Thats how affairs happen," He tells me.
I sigh, "I guess... Maybe it will all work out in the end, but i feel like that sort of stuff only happens in movies... Demi has definitely been the better person so far, Niall... We need to tell her."
"We?" He asks
"Please, Niall. I don't like hurting people, and I don't want to do this alone. Plus, you can be there to comfort her afterwards," I plea.
"Okay... What are you going to tell her?" He inquires.
"Shortly put? I'm in love with her boyfriend."

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)
