《Never in a Million Years ✔️》77- You Could Never

"Holy shit," Em announces as we exit the building.
That was our last high school test we'll ever take. Damn does it feel good to say that.
"We're free!" Em yells
Our teachers announced earlier this week that all seniors with a 3.0 gpa and who are not failing any classes are exempt from all finals.
We're officially done with high school learning, The next two weeks is just the fun stuff.
Since we were all in different testing rooms, we'd all decided on the courtyard to meet up. After that, were spending the rest of our day at Kanes, celebrating the near end of highschool and planning our prank week before Graduation.
"WE'RE FREE BITCHES!" Tyler, Jordan and Wes all yell as Amy, Em and I all run to them and attempt to tackle them, they all stay upright and instead hold us up and spin us around.
Within two minutes we're all together celebrating with others in our class in the court yard, before little bit by little bit, everyone starts to disperse and leave the school early while the lower grades had to finish out the school days.
"What do we do now?" Ty questions like he was lost. It was like we still had to go to school but not actually do anything. It was fantastic.
"Well, everyone is meeting up at Kanes tonight to plan the senior prank, Right A?" I question my brother. It was tradition to pull off the senior pranks the week before graduation, most schools only have one big prank or a lot of smaller ones all done within a day. Our school however has a whole week. Usually Friday has the biggest prank like selling the school on Craigslist for three dollars or painting the principals car hot pink and turning it into a unicorn with a sparkly horn and a fluffy tail. Or spray painting a dick on the football field. That one was kinda typical , but points for a classic prank.
"Yeah, Kane's letting our class take over, is Ria coming too? We're gonna need her help getting in the building," Ace says
"Yeah she's in," Em grins "We're gonna have a fun week,"
"Yeah we are," Amy grins "So we have the eggs, the fish, what else?"
"Find out tonight," Wes grins. They boys were in charge of the master plan. Each year the responsibility was passed down from team to team. Last year the cheerleaders were in charge, year before it was the band kids, year before that it was the art club, before that is was student council/national honors society, year before that was the baseball team and so on. Last year, the cheerleaders left the responsibility to the football team, and these guys were going all out.
"Okay, well, I'm going home and taking a nap cause I'm running on four hours of sleep, but I'll meet you guys there," Em tells everyone
"I'll come with you, I'm tired as hell," I say tagging along "Can you drop me at home?"
"Yeah no problem,"
"Love you"
"Love you too bitch,"
—————————————————
"Okay everyone can I have your attention?" Jordan announces as he stands on the bar top, Kane's letting our class use the restaurant tonight for our planning.

Within seconds everyone's quieting down and turning their attention to the boys.
"Alright y'all so in the group chat we split days into groups, excluding Friday of course, We'll need all hands on deck for that one. So let's start with our Monday group, what do you guys have?"
"So we're sneaking in, stealing all of the cafeteria and principal B's furniture and putting out on the courtyard and replacing it all with barn animals, Rocky's uncle owns a farm and he's letting us borrow whatever animals we want as long as we take care of them," the appointed leader of that group, Lupe, grins as she announced their plan "We're doing something special with the pigs, were only gonna take five of them and put them jeresies that have the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5. So they'll be looking for number 3 all day,"
"Solid plan," Co grins "I think that's a good way to start the week don't y'all?" Everyone erupts in cheers and serves as conformation for his question.
"Okay Tuesday group, you're next," Travis grins
"Okay so this one involves everyone, So we're gonna show up early," The Tuesday group leader and drum major for our marching band, Anthony, announces "and we are going to unscrew every teachers top desk drawer and replace it with another teachers drawer. Then we're going to the field and just gonna stick a shitload of forks in it in the form of the word seniors,"
"Hm creative, I'd expect nothing less from you," Jordan grins. It was funny seeing all the boys leading this huge group, but if anyone could do it, it's those idiots.
"Thank you sir," Anthony grins before sitting back down,
"Alrighy, Wednesday we all agreed to a peaceful day until the last five minutes of the day, Wednesday group you were assigned with a hard day so what do you have planned?" Wes questions. It was almost comical how they were all treating this as some top secret mission.
"So we just decided to play deepthroat by cupcake right after announcements for the last three minutes of the day," Hector, the Wednesday leader grins "Oh and all of us have to stand outside our classes and yell the lyrics,"
"Classic plan," My twin smiles "Now does everyone know the lyrics to deepthroat by cupcake? Please raise your hand if you aren't familiar,"
A few people raise their hands but majority of us knew what it was. The ones that weren't familiar probably knew the song just not the name of the song.
"Wes, you got your speaker?" Caleb questions to which he responds by pulling it out of his bag
With a mischievous grin on his face, Co looked up the song and set the speaker down to let it play.
"OH WAIT I KNOW THIS SONG!" One of the kids yells
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU IDIOTS LISTENING TO?" We hear Kane yell from the back as he comes walking out of the office "And please tell me that that is somehow involved in one of your pranks,"
"It's our Wednesday prank," I tell him "Brought to you by our Wednesday group,"

"I have never been more proud," he just grins before returning to his office and we continue.
"Okay Thursday, what plan did you guys come up with?" Rick, another guy form the team, questions
"Were gonna have a sleepover in the main hallway. So everyone on Thursday, wear your pajamas and bring sleeping bags, pillows and blankets cause we're skipping last period and were all setting our shit up in the main hallway," our Dance team captain, Leah, smiles proudly "Oh and Emily is bringing her projector so we're taking a vote for what movie we're gonna watch. Choices are Mulan, Frozen, Or Moana," to follow her speech we all took a vote, Frozen, winning by a landslide. So that's our Thursday plan.
"Can we bring microphones to sing? I have a Frozen sing along microphone at home," Jordan questions with dead seriousness. He really wasn't joking around, his sister had her own Frozen sing along microphone.
"Bring whatever you like, Carly's bringing her popcorn machine" Leah grins
"Alright, Friday group is you girls," Arrex looks at Em and I. We were the leaders of our final school day and I'd say we have a prettygood plan.
"Alright so we aren't going to be going to our school on Friday, in our place will be none other than the mistbrook senior class. We will then all be going to mistbrook. As some of you might know, that's also their senior prank week, and a close friend of mine asked if we could do a joint prank," Dallas had texted me earlier this week asking if we'd like to do a joint prank, of course I said yes. So my senior class and his senior class will all be switching places. There's just about equal amount in both classes so this far we've gotten lists of everyone in mine and his classes and each person is assigned another.
"Only for the first half of the school day will we be doing that," Em starts to finish "At the end of third period, we'll all come back here to our own school and we're gonna have a tailgate in the parking lot. Bring anything you want except for drugs and alcohol,"
"That ain't a tailgate then," someone calls out earning laughs from everyone. I mean he wasn't wrong, a tailgate isn't a tailgate without beer.
"Yeah but sadly we are still on school property. So bring anything else you'd normally bring to a tailgate, folding tables, food, grills, speakers, tents, whatever y'all please,"
"Sounds good guys," Arrex grins, sending a wink at my best friend that makes me visibly gag.
"Oh shut up B," My brother rolls his eyes at me
"And last but not least, Saturday," Ace announces
"So, lets start with Principbal B's house. We'll be listing it for significantly less than what it's worth and will be holding an open house for it on Saturday. Scheduled for right after the ceremony." Arrex smiles
"And speaking of the ceremony, we'll all be taking newspapers out at the same time to read in the middle of the ceremony, and we are going to adjust some of the pictures in the senior slideshow," Tyler grins "No pornographic or otherwise risqué pictures, just ones from parties, senior week and other things that will piss Principal K off,"
"And that Concludes senior week and our senior year," Caleb smiles at everyone "It's been a pleasure y'all,"
"Holy shit, we're graduating in two weeks" Emily, a girl from the dance team says, smiling sadly
"Well now I'm lowkey kinda sad," someone else adds
"Hey today's is a fun day, we're planning our class's legacy!" Beck grins at everyone trying to keep the energy up
"Exactly! No crying until that day comes, tonight, lets just hang out, have fun and eat!" I grin
And with that Jordan and Lexi jumped behind the counter and started putting out trays of wings, fries and countless more options for everyone.
I sit back in my seat, glancing at my phone really quick just as Co comes and sits beside me in my booth.
"So, I might've forgotten to tell you earlier," he starts his sentence off and I'm instantly interested. Not that I wouldn't be normally, he could just talk about whatever, and I'd listen. "Beck and I talked last night,"
"You guys what? When?" I thought Beck was home all night, and I know Co didn't come over cause he would've been in my room right after they'd talked
"Last night, he'd texted me asking if I was still up and if we could talk," he says, a grin making its way to his face. So that's a good sign, "He's okay,"
"Really? He hasn't said anything to me," I glance at my brother to see him already talking to Amy
"I don't think he's really had a chance," Caleb shrugs
"How'd it go?"
"It's was good actually," he just smiles as he looks down at me "We talked everything out, He apologized for being an unreasonable dickhead...his words not mine, and I apologized for not telling him sooner and talking to him about everything. Then he said he missed me, I told him I missed him too, we had a little moment, then he went into brother mode n said he'd beat the piss out of me if I ever hurt you," So basically along the lines of his and A's talk too.
"Aw you're friends again," I can't help but smile. He was happy, I knew he missed my brothers more than anything. He loved me, I didn't doubt it, but he really loved my brothers. They were his family, always have been and always will be, not being on good terms with them was killing him.
"We were never not friends, he'll always be my best friend, we were just in the middle of a disagreement," he chuckles lightly, eating some of my fries "I'm happy now,"
"What? Now that you ate half of my fries?"I snort
"No jackass, now that everyone's good," he laughs "and that I ate half of your fries,"
"I hate you," I laugh, smacking his hand away from my plate as he tries to reach for more fries.
"You could never," he snorts
"Yeah, got me there," I grin "Love you,"
"Love you too,"

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Forced Immortality
Guy dies, transmigrates and then dies some more. Contrary to what you might think, this is actually a story about an OP protagonist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things to keep in mind before reading: - I have never written a story before so this will most likely end up being pretty bad. - I have done zero planning for this story. - This is mostly something i wanted to try out in my freetime so updates are going to be sporadic at best. - Chapter length will fluctuate until i figure out this whole writing thing. - I have no idea if there will be romance. Might add it in the future if this story somehow doesn't end up as a failure. - There will be some stuff from the Star Wars Universe but this is NOT a Star Wars fanfiction. - The story will be pretty explicit in the gore department so if your squeamish, beware. - This story will be a slow burn. - If any of the above changes, i'll update the synopsis and i might make a seperate chapter just detailing these points. - Last point, English isn't my native language so have some mercy on my poor soul, ok? If none of the above has scared you away then i invite you to join me on this catastrophic ride. It'll probably be kinda fun.....hopefully... This story is also on Scribblehub and Webnovel.

World of Telduria
The world of Telduria is filled with dangers and opportunities. The world is made up of numerous factions, kingdoms and alliances. Most of the time there is relative peace but every now and then wars and skirmishes breaks out. There is a council of nations which tried to mediate peace between the nations. Each nation is represented along with the guilds which span the world.The guilds have an invested interest in keeping the peace due to how they work across the borders. The different nations make up half of the council while the guilds make up the second half. The balance in the world is on a life's edge. A powder keg waiting to blow, but no one dares to make the first move.After the formation of the adventures guild and the mercenary guild most nations dissolved their militarises and instead the army is more of a policing force than an offensive one while the guilds hunt down dangerous creatures and monsters that appears in the world.The nations have changed their ways from war to one of assassination, espionage, economics and diplomacy. World leaders don't tend to survive very long if they don't have guards with them at all times. While officially there is no assassin's guild or thieves guild they do sure exist and are thriving like never before in the current political climate. That and the other guilds don't stop them since they also hire their services from time to time.The various temples and religions have no official power part from some nations which are based around a belief. In actuality though they have considerable powers since they control the masses just as well as the rulers themselves. Get on their bad side and you might just find an assassin coming for you. A young woman gets thrown into this grimdark world from our own. Will she survive the curveball that gets thrown in her face as she changes into something else? Map created by Maximeplasse This fiction is based on my play-per-post RP that I've run before but with my own take on summoned characters and dungeon settings. At certain points I'll also allow reader decisions if the story gets popular enough. xD It's unrelated to the D&D Theron setting; Telduria I just liked the name and the map when I started up the RP back in the day.
