As I'm jotting down important notes, I feel a presence behind me, way to close. "Have a pencil?" Miles Cunningham asks, startling me with a smug smirk plastered on his face.I make a pouty face. "Nope, sorry." I lie. I actually do, I'm Isabella Gallagher, I do not come to class unprepared. I just know he's talking to me to get under my skin, he knows I don't like him.
He cocks his head to the side, still grinning. "Come on darlin, what's your problem with me?" Oh what's my problem with you? Don't even get me started!
"Mr. Cunningham!" The professor shouts from his mini stage. "Do you wish to teach this to the class instead?" Chuckles echo through the room. Miles leans back into his seat putting his hand against his heart and shaking his head.
"No thank you sir, I'm perfectly fine here." He says sounding as if he did nothing wrong. "Just needed a pencil that's all!"
"Coming to class unprepared I see, hmm?" More laughter fills the room. His eye twitches, just as the professor turns back around, Miles shoots me a quick glower.
"Sorry, darlin." I jibed, turning back around. And the point goes to me.
The bell rings dismissing us, everyone eagerly jumps up and begins filing out of the oversized room. I push through the crowds of people and meet Addison in the courtyard by a bench we designated as our meeting point.

"Come on let's go home." She says blatantly.
"Hello to you too..." When she doesn't respond I turn to her. "What's wrong? We always go for sushi on Fridays, it's a tradition."
"We can go another time! Lets just go home." She pleads once more; weird.
"I guess so."
Eventually, we approach the door to our apartment and instead of getting the key out, she starts knocking. What the actual hell is she doing? Has she lost her damn mind?
"Addison, why the hell are you knocking on our-" the door starts to open, stopping me from speaking.

America in Another World
One day in 2019, the United States of America finds itself transported to a new world. What will happen if a modern superpower from Earth finds itself in a world with magic and technology ranging from the medieval era to World War 1? F-22 Raptors vs wyverns and biplanes. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers vs wooden ships, mage ships, and dreadnaughts. M4 carbines vs bow n’ arrows, staffs, and bolt-action rifles. Featuring aggressive expansionist empires and magical kingdoms, what will the United States do? I will do weekly updates every Sunday of chapters with about 1000-2000 words each. This is the first novel I have ever written and is meant to be a draft. The official one will come out sometime after I finish this.

When "Integration" came everybody thought that it was just a game, nobody could've imagined the changes that it will bring. It is the journey of William who is trying to survive and build his own kingdom in a suspicious virtual world. It is a story with world-building, cultivation, politics, mythology and alike there will be action but not as the main focus. Main characters will not have cheat abilities, they will get perks and bonuses because of participating in events or lucky encounters but the same goes for their enemies. English is not my first, second, and even third language so please have mercy.
