As the guys grill into Noah, the girls walk into their third store of the night. They all go to different sections of the store while on a video call with each other.
Pearl: Ok, so, should I get the grey cardigan or the red cardigan for Ame?
Katie: Get the grey one.
Kagami: Crop top or romper?
Everyone goes silent before laughing.
Everyone: Romper!
Juleka: Should I go for a different style this time? I feel like dark colors are to... Well, y'know.
Chloe: Worn out?
Juleka: Yeah, kinda.
Pearl: Say no more, I am on my way!
Katie: Sasha and I are at the dressing rooms.
Marinette: Are we all meeting at the front when we're done?
Lila: Yup!
Alix: Yeah!
Ruby: Sounds like a plan!
They all hang up and continue looking for more outfits. When they're all finished, they meet up at the front of the store, and decide to go for some food.
Marinette: Food at 11 PM? Isn't that a little... dangerous?
Katie: As long as we fight like our lives are in danger and stomp on any man's dick we'll be ok.
Sapphire: That's on what?
Chloe: Periodt! Maximum correctivity!
Kagami: Is that even a word?
Chloe: It is tonight!
All the girls begin walking to the decided food place, but while everyone else is talking, Sasha's trailing behind with Katie.
Sasha: Hey, uh, Katie?
Katie: Yeah?
Sasha: Is Noah...nice?
Katie: He is super nice! He gets you flowers literally every other day, he always makes sure you're happy, he always cooks for you. I could go on, but we'd be here all day.
Sasha: Is... Is he really like that?
Katie: Of course he is! He's Caleb's best friend, so I've been given all the info on Noah "Romeo" Krone!
Sasha: Romeo?
Katie: Don't let him know I told you, but his favorite stage play is Romeo and Juliet. He listens to it all the time through audios because he says the romance reminds him of you!
Sasha tries to hide her blush, but her face gets so red it's more noticeable than ever.
Sasha: He didn't say that... Did he?
Katie: Yeah! He says sappy crap like that all the time!
Sasha: So... What do we usually do together?
Katie: A lot of stuff! Stargazing, picnics, midnight drives, late night walks- The whole nine yards! Noah always has something planned for you guys, so you'll never know what's gonna happen!
Sasha: Wow!
Katie: But the best thing you guys do together is dancing under the stars on his roof. You're living with him for the time being by the way.
Sasha: I-I live with him!? How long have we been together!?
Katie: Only a few days, but you've been best friends for years, so it's a given.
Sasha: O-Oh.
Katie: I remember this one time when you passed out because it was so hot, and Noah's car was in the shop, so he ran with you in his arms all the way to the hospital just to make sure you were ok.
Sasha: He- He really did that!? Was he ok!?
Katie: He got a minor heat stroke, but he kept saying he was fine and refused to get treated until he knew you were doing ok. THAT'S how good of a guy he is!
Sasha: He got heat stroke... for me?
Katie: Well, yeah, I mean, your his girlfriend and he loves you. He goes a little overboard sometimes, and doesn't know when to quit, but at least you know he's a keeper.
Sasha: Wow... He sounds amazing.
Katie: Don't go a goo goo eyed yet; we've still gotta get our food.

Sasha: Actually...I think I'm gonna head back early. I'm kinda tired. I love your new look. We SO need to take some pics next time!
Katie: For real!
Katie gives Sasha a hug before she runs to catch up with the others. Sasha starts walking back to...wait! Where is she supposed to be going? She scrolls through her contacts and stops at the one that stands out.
'🍭💖Noah💖🍭'
Sasha: Even his name in my phone is cute...
Sasha clicks on his name and the phone starts ringing. After a few minutes Noah finally answers his phone.
Noah: Hey, baby! What's up?
Sasha: Hey, uh, this is gonna sound, like, really lame, but I need you to come get me... please?
Noah: Sure, but, is everything good?
Sasha: No, no, everything's good! I just...can't remember the way to your house.
Noah: Oh! I should've texted Katie to ask someone to pick you up! I'm sorry.
Sasha: It's ok, really.
Noah: I'll be there in 10 minutes. Where are you?
Sasha: I'm down at the shopping center.
Noah: Ok. I'll be there.
Sasha: Thanks.
Noah: No problem.
The line cuts out and Sasha leans against one of the buildings and listens to music while she waits. Noah pulls up in his car about 10 minutes later and honks the horn since Sasha isn't paying attention.
Sasha: Wha-?
She looks up and sees Noah waiting for her to get in the car.
Noah: Hey, you needed a ride, yeah?
Sasha: Yeah, thanks!
Sasha gets in the car and puts her bag with her old outfit on the floor before buckling her seatbelt.
Noah: You g-got a new o-outfit?
Sasha: Yeah. Is- Is there something wrong with it?
Noah: NO! I-I mean, no, not at all. I- I just- You look better than usual. Not that you didn't look beautiful before. I mean, not- You looked good before, but you look better now. See, now it sounds like I'm degrading you. That is not my intention!
Sasha: Hahahaha! You're funny!
Noah: Hahaha... Yeah.
Noah starts driving and Sasha looks out the window at everything they pass. After a while, Sasha starts getting nervous and begins fidgeting in the seat. Noah puts his hand on top of hers as he stops at a red light.
Sasha: W-What?
Noah: You...looked nervous...
Sasha: I-I'm sorry, ok?
Noah: What for?
Sasha: I can't remember shit! Everything's just a blur, and I can't remember. I-I feel so lost...
Noah: Hey, it's ok. It's not like you asked to forget me.
Sasha: But I did forget you! How the hell does someone forget one person!? To make it worse, that person's your best friend! It doesn't make sense!
Noah: I honestly cannot tell you.
Sasha: What happened?
Noah: What do you mean?
Sasha: Like, why don't I remember you? What happened?
Noah: Well...
Noah starts driving again and glances at Sasha who's waiting for an answer.
Noah: I...don't know. I wasn't there when it happened. The hospital just called and said that you were hurt.
Sasha: Ah.
Noah: Trust me, if I knew, I'd tell you. I promise.
Sasha nods and sits back in her seat. She falls asleep and Noah puts her head on his shoulder.
Noah: I love you, Sasha. I just hope you'll forgive me when you find out I lied.
Noah keeps driving back to his house with Sasha. While he does that, Liam, Amethyst, Jade, and Jacob are hanging out in the hospital's cafeteria. Good thing no one else goes to the cafeteria after 9 PM.
Jade: So- So you got stabbed!?
Advertisement
Amethyst: Yeah!
Jade: In the- In the heart!?
Amethyst: Yeah, yeah!
Jacob: Then died!?
Liam: Yeah!
Jacob: Then somehow came back to life!?
Liam: Yeah, yeah! Don't think about it too much. This is Paris. It was ruled by a terrorist butterfly man for how long?
Jade: Fair enough. Oh! Half of my leg is healed! They said I can leave tomorrow if I agree to wear one of those leg braces!
Amethyst: Nice! You're lucky! I've still gotta stay another 3 days.
Jacob: Sucks to suck ass, doesn't it?
Amethyst: Go shove something up your ass you gay ass bitch!
Jacob: Oh, you'd know all about shoving shit up your ass, huh!?
Amethyst jumps up and Jade does that same and starts dragging Jacob to the door.
Jade: We'd love to stay, but we've gotta...do...something!
Jacob: Let go! I'm gonna beat her!
Jade: Like hell you are! I'll kick your ass!
Jade drags Jacob with her out the door and leave Liam and Amethyst in the canteen by themselves.
Liam: You think they've gotten together yet?
Amethyst: I've learned an important thing growing up with Jade. Just because she doesn't out right say she's still mad, doesn't mean she's not mad. Trust me when I say this; she's still mad.
Liam: Should we let Jacob think he's getting somewhere?
Amethyst: I, honestly, would say no. Then again, I'm not Jade. I don't know what's going through her head.
Liam: That's fair. Oh! Did you hear what happened with Noah and Sasha?
Amethyst: What happened?
Liam: Ok, so, Tikki, the little Ladybug kwamii, created the "Lover's Burden" curse and it got to Sasha.
Amethyst: Oop- Damn.
Liam: Long story short, Sasha doesn't remember Noah at all, Jason, the little one, said they're dating. So either way, Noah was fucked if be did and fucked if he didn't.
Amethyst: Nah, you're brother's whole menace! When Sasha remembers-
Liam: They're both fucked.
Amethyst: Exactly.
Liam grabs a big bag, puts it on the table, and pushes it across to Amethyst.
Liam: I know you're tired of eating the nasty, ass tasting, disgusting-
Amethyst: Bro, I get it.
Liam: -Life threatening food, so I made you 3 days worth of food.
Amethyst looks through the bag suspicious of its contents, and decides everything's ok.
Amethyst: You included a list of ingredients?
Liam: Well, yeah, I mean, if you're allergic to basically everything, I need to list off what's in the food so you don't have to worry about if you're gonna die or not.
Amethyst: I...
Liam: Everything in there, as you can see, is all imitation product. As for the sweets, everything in them is wholly organic. They still taste great though. I personally recommend the chocolate covered granola bars.
Amethyst takes a container of chocolate covered granola bars out of the bag and eats one. She stops halfway through the bar and hits the table.
Amethyst: Why is this so good!? Holy God! I'm literally going to start screaming! How!?
Liam: I don't know. I've always been around Caleb, Matteo, and Ethan when they cook. I guess I just picked it up from them.
Amethyst: They've made these before?
Liam: No, but I looked up references and made everything from scratch.
Amethyst: Damn. I can't even make noodles without burning myself somehow.
Liam: How...?
Amethyst: I don't know. To be honest, it just happens.
Amethyst's phone goes off and she angrily turns off the alarm.
Amethyst: Y'know, I don't understand why there's a time limit for patients that have to get tested! It's not my fault I rose from the dead! It's not like they'll find anything logical about it anyway! They kept me here for nothing! I could've been at home on bed rest, but no-
Liam: Ok, ok, ok! Let's calm down, yeah?
Amethyst: Fine... But I still think this shit is stupid.
Amethyst grabs the bag of food and starts walking back to her room as slowly as her and Liam can go. Liam puts his arm around Amethyst and she holds his hand while walking.
Liam: I'm sorry...about the whole court thing... It was your decision to tell me or not, and I didn't respect that.
Amethyst: I shouldn't have lied to you. I'm sorry.
Liam: Hey, uhm, y'know, the dance is happening next week, so...
Amethyst: So?
Liam: Are you going?
Amethyst: I don't think so. After what happened at the last one, you will never see me at one of those again.
Liam: What happened last time?
Amethyst: Ashley made sure there was absolutely nothing I could eat, I got detention from Mr. Webber for not wearing a dress, AND I had to WALK home because my fucking "dAd" wasted all the money we needed for gas on booze and crack!
Liam: Well...I'm in charge of planning this year.
Amethyst: Oh. Maybe...I'll go then.
Liam: Why? 'Cause I'll be there~?
Amethyst: Nah, 'cause there's gonna be decent food there. Plus, I heard something about some shit going down, but nobody knows what, and I wanna see what's gonna happen.
Liam: You're happy I'll be there.
Amethyst: Maybe a little...
Liam: I knew it.
Amethyst: Shut up!
Liam: Nope!
Amethyst: May every time to flip your pillow to the cooler side, it's always warm.
Liam: I- You- That's the most diabolical thing I've ever heard. Take it back.
Amethyst: Hmmm...let me think. Nope.
Liam: Take it back.
Amethyst: Nah.
Liam: Take. It. Back.
Amethyst: I. Would. Rather. Starve.
Amethyst kicks off her hospital slippers and starts skating down the hallway in her socks. Liam follows her running, but barely catches up to her.
Amethyst: Y'know, you're really slow!
Liam jumps off the wall and tries to grab her hoodie, but misses by just a few centimeters.
Liam: Dammit!
Amethyst: Too slow! Haha!
Liam: You won't be laughing long!
Amethyst: I'll be laughing long enough!
Liam: Oh yeah?
Liam jumps off the wall again and lands in front of Amethyst. She tries to stop and turn around, but he just picks her up and starts walking back to her room.
Amethyst: Put me down!
Liam: Nope~!
Amethyst: Put me dooooown!
Liam: Nah.
Amethyst: Down.
Liam: No.
Liam hums to himself before cupping the right side of Ame's rear. He feels her stiffen, and gives it a soft squeeze before laughing.
Liam: Y'know, for someone with such a tough outer shell, you're ass is surprisingly soft yet firm.
Amethyst comes out of her shock and starts repeatedly elbowing the back of his head.
Liam: Ow! Stop it!
Amethyst: You- You jackass! You don't- You can't just go around gripping people's asses! Have Caleb, Jacob, and Matteo taught you not a damn thing!? What happened to respecting women!? You creep!
Liam: I'm not a creep!
Amethyst: You gripped my ass!
Liam: On the contrary, I'd like to correct that statement by making this comment: I did not grip your full ass, yet it happened to be a single side of your buttocks.
Amethyst: Don't you DARE try and act all smart around me!
Liam: I'm not. I'm just stating a simple, obvious fact. But if you're so sure I'd get enjoyment out of gripping your ass then...
He starts moving his other hand closer to her left side, but stops when she knees him in the chest.
Amethyst: I'll kill you if that hand keeps moving.
Liam: Awww~ Looks like someone's a little tired~!
Amethyst: I am NOT tired! Put me down right now!
Liam: See, now, I would...
Amethyst: But?
Liam: Hmm? What was that, babe?
Amethyst: Don't call me that! What's the "but"?
Liam: I have no idea what you mean, baby.
Amethyst: This is not a good look for you. It makes you looks arrogant.
Liam: Arrogant you say!?
Amethyst: Don't sound so surprised. It makes you look arrogant, entitled, and spoiled. All in all, like one of those rich preppy boys on those story videos.
Liam: Preppy!?
Amethyst: Yes. Preppy. If you have a problem, you can put me down.
Liam: While I do have a problem, I'm not putting you down.
Amethyst: Why!?
Liam: Would you like the full reason or...?
Amethyst: Yes! Full reason! Uncut! Straight honesty!
Liam: Well, I think you should already know the reason, but since you don't, I think I should explain.
Amethyst: Yes! Yes you should!
Liam: Well, because you're unofficially mine, number one. Number two-
Amethyst: Wait what? What the hell does that mean?
Liam: Like, we're dating, but it's not official because we aren't.
Amethyst: What the hell...? (Sigh) Just get on with the rest.
Liam: Ok. That actually bring me to point number two!
Amethyst: Which is?
Liam: I'm not talking to anyone, you're not talking to anyone else. It's obvious where we both want this to go. I mean, there isn't really any other direction this relationship could go in.
Amethyst: Obvious? Direction? Relationship!? Huh!?
Liam: You seem confused.
Amethyst: Uh, 'cause I am! What the hell are you talking about?
Liam: Like, you're my girlfriend, but nothing's official.
Amethyst: This was decided when?
Liam: A few hours ago. Why?
Amethyst: I- You- What?
Liam: I mean, when you really think about it, am I wrong?
Amethyst: Well, no...but you can't just-
Liam puts her down and wraps his arm around her waist.
Liam: Exactly. What? You have a problem with our little...arrangement?
Amethyst: Well...not exactly...
While walking back to her room, Amethyst tries to avoid looking at Liam at all because she knows she'll cave if she does.
Liam: So... You know what you're wearing to the dance?
Amethyst: Probably something comfortable. I don't really care about this stuff.
Liam: Same. In my opinion, it's lame as hell.
Amethyst: Right? Like, try hard for what?
Liam: I know! It's not like any of this will matter in our college years.
Amethyst: For real!
Liam: Whatever goes down, I hope Ashley gets got!
Amethyst: Right!? She needs to get got! Her and her pushover dad!
Liam: Yeah!
The two continue walking back to Amethyst's room, only just now noticing that they're only half way there.
Liam: Do you think your nurse is looking for you?
Amethyst: Yeah, but it's whatever. I'm tired of getting tested.
Amethyst stops and Liam looks at her in concern.
Liam: You good?
Amethyst: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Liam: Let's make out?
Amethyst: Dude, no.
Liam: Can I ask why?
Amethyst: Shut the hell up. Listen, we finna bust me outta here!
Someone clears their throat behind them and the two move away from each other to avoid suspicion. Unfortunately, it does not go to plan. Maria, Ame's nurse, turns Amethyst around and studies her for a moment.
Amethyst: M-Maria! H-Hi...
Maria: What's this I hear about you busting out?
Amethyst: W-Well- It was- We weren't-
Liam: It was a joke!
Amethyst: Y-Yeah! A joke!
Maria looks Liam up and down before glaring at him.
Maria: And what are you still doing here?
Liam: I was- I was walking her back t-to her room.
Amethyst: Yeah, he was.
Maria: You're curfew was a full 45 minutes ago. How slow were you walking!?
Amethyst: Would you be mad if we said "very"...?
Maria looks at them shocked, but holds her ground.
Maria: Amethyst, get back to your room. Carrot Cake, go home.
Liam: My name is Liam.
Maria: Carrot Cake.
Liam: I'm going, but I need my coat.
Amethyst: Yeah, and his coat's in my room.
Maria: (Sigh) Just get it and go home.
Liam: Yes, ma'am.
Liam and Amethyst run back to her room giggling because, well, did anyone really think they were gonna just get a coat? As if. When they get to her room, they run in and Ame locks the door from the inside.
Liam: You got a coat?
Amethyst: Nope.
Liam: A small jacket?
Amethyst: No.
Liam: Anything other than just your crop top?
Amethyst: Laundry room. No time to go get them.
Liam takes off his coat that he put on and shoves it into her arms and starts tying some sheets together.
Amethyst: What do you expect me to do with your jacket?

Systematic Supremacy
A story of an individual with a cursed past and an unknown future. Follow the journey of Theo trying to find his purpose in a world full of cultivation, magic, and other mystical arts. What happens when someone without a will to live finally gains freedom along with an absurd amount of potential? Will he pursue strength in a world that values nothing but power, or will he decide to live a quiet and normal life for the first time? This is a story of a man with a system (yes, I know, very original), cursed with the faith of a protagonist. Whether he will follow the road of humiliating swarms of ignorant young masters asking for a beating, or carelessly pick up love interests from all corners of the world is yet to be seen.This story features many different realms and power systems, so if you enjoy novels with massive worlds and endless exploration, this is for you. Although it has a system, it is more of a manifestation of his own power and mysterious origin, not some gift from God.This is my first novel, and I am not a native English speaker, so the grammar won’t be perfect, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

Imagine Being a Rare
The world of mobile games is harsh on wallets and harsher on the characters. How do you stand out in an crowd of designs calculated to attract attention from whales?

A new gameplay mode will give them a chance to rise above their rarity, they think. All they need are courage, kindness, and wisdom. They have none of those, but they do have stubbornness, selfishness, and shamelessness, which are at least as effective. If that sounds pathetic, just imagine being a Rare. Updates Monday and Friday.
