《Adopted by My Chemical Romance》9
Advertisement
It was about twelve in the afternoon, and my catching up class was nearly over. I grasped the concept of multiplication, division, and all that other jazz. The good thing is I already knew how to do it. Lyn-Z taught me a few things. Mrs. Fieldsman kept rambling on about how plants are living organisms, but I kept waiting for that damn bell to ring. Lunch was next, then I had related arts classes ( art, music, etc.)
The kids in my class were literal living zombies. They seemed weirded out that I was alive and still had blood rushing through my veins. The bell rang and I stood up like I had a pole for a spine. The rest of the zombie army slowly rose form their desks and walked to the door, I was the first to leave. The halls were FILLED with other kids, I wasn't used to that. I was used to walking in single file lines with other people. I reached the end of the hall and sharply turned the corner and ran straight into another human person. I think this might be my signature move. The girl looked at me with disgust.
"Watch where you're going. " She scowled. Now we're taking about a bitchy cheerleader. Her hair was bleached blonde, she wore a pink sweater, black leggings, pink heel shoes( classic ), and she had a really heavy coat of mascara plastered on her pink eyeshadow covered eyelids. I only knew one way to respond and make it out alive.
"I'm sorry." I said, trying to show that I was truly sorry and would never for the life of me do it again. She just gave me a glare and walked away. Phew.
I continued down the hall and made my way to the cafeteria. Everyone was lined up infront of the small window where lunch ladies were serving food. I decided I wasn't really hungry, I'll probably eat a lot when I get home. I looked around, there were no empty tables. That means I would have to sit down next to some stranger. I thought this until I heard someone cal my name. I could tell instantly it was Jesse.

"Adie! Come sit with us!" He yelled, I turned my attention to him and his friends. They all looked like the gender bent version of myself. Considering I had no one else to sit with, I agreed. I walked to their table and sat down.
"Guys this is my friend Adie." friend? Okay then. They said their hellos, simple as that.
"So Adie how's your classes?" I sighed, I didn't want to tell him I missed six years of education.
"I can't believe they started teaching me on my first day, do they have no morals?" I joked, He nodded.
"This school doesn't believe in a relaxing first day." I laughed. We continued talking. We talked about bands, where we got our clothes, and a bunch of other stuff. The bell rang and that meant I had a related arts. I got up from the table but Jesse interrupted me.
"Is is weird if I ask for your number?" he laughed, kind of shyly. I laughed back and told him my number, he swore he'll remember it. The first day of school and I already gave someone my number.

8 133Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost. Inheriting the title but not its privileges and oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions. But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
8 134Black Carbon
It has been eighteen years since the Goron Empire invaded earth, enslaving all of humanity—or whatever is left of it. Ethan wants to change the fate of humans from inside the system. Della wants to change the fate of humans from outside the system. Two inseparable siblings, and two separate paths. Three days after Ethan’s and Della’s father is forcibly banished, they separate to go on their own journeys. Will they meet again, despite following completely different paths? And if they do, will they be friends or foes? 1) It's a dual MC novel -- there are always 2 PoVs in every chapter (Ethan and Della). 1k~2k words for each PoV.2) It's soft sci-fi. I will explain world-building in the best way that I can, but it's not necessarily explainable by physics.

Absolutely horrible, screwed up things can and will happen, do not read if you are uncomfortable with that sort of content. On a similar note, please be advised that the story contains explicit content. If you do not want to read that sort of thing, then this story is not for you.
