《Living on 45th street》Hug the bear

Hey I got straight A's
Hey, Hey I won SGA president
Hey,Hey, Hey I'm performing this weekend
Hey I got that scholarship from TSU
Hey I got that acceptance letter from Hampton too
*chuckle*
But you don't care
I am so sick and tired of acting like this is normal
I'm done with feeling isolated as my friends go on and on about their grandmother's love
And I'm sitting there wishing this woman would just give me a hug
Even though I'm 19, I still feel like that same 9 year old still healing the same old wounds of that little girl that still lives inside
Rebuilding the self esteem because I remember when I was on the hefty side and being afraid to walk up the steps of your house
Being afraid that I would experience another tongue lashing that did more damage that any belt ever could
I mean I was I child what was I supposed to do
Even if I did everyone would say I was rude and disrespectful and maybe that's true
Because I've heard it enough times I thought it was a synonym for my identity so that any time someone calls me sweet I act as if they're the ones who insulted me
And I know you're thinking there must be a missing piece to this story
Well unfortunately it's not...
I can only count on my hands how many times I've been granted the pleasure of her warm embrace.
How many times I've reached out my arms
Waiting for you to close the deal but it didn't occur
I now say I don't do hugs because I'm afraid that someone else would have me relive that pain I've put away stored next to silent tears and whispered prayers.
And my mom would say you're the matriarch of the family and I don't know what that means because you weren't there when I needed you

When my business got blasted all over the news
When I sat up in that courtroom only two people's blood was equal to mine
But I'm supposed to believe that blood is thicker than water who told y'all that lie
But I wish it was my truth I wish I could depend on you
I wish that you could say I love you without Facebook knowing it too
I wish that you took the time to get to know me
I wish I could stop tip toeing around the issue and listening to everyone say that's just how she is.
I'm breaking that cycle
I will not accept nothing but respect
I mean will you please hug me?

The Marauders
It has been thirty years since the end of the brutal Andromeda War. The Andromeda Republic was barely able to defeat the Zeta Empire, and its remnants retreated into uncharted space. At first, peace has been settled across the galaxy, but over the decades, the Andromeda Republic became more and more paranoid of the Zeta Empire returning. As a result, they slowly became tyrannical and started to use terrorist tactics to maintain control across the Andromeda Galaxy. But little did they know, the Zeta Empire has secretly been preparing and growing stronger to invade the Andromeda Republic ever since their defeat. With the republic going into turmoil, it is now the perfect opportunity for the Zeta Empire to strike. After the Zeta Empire returned from uncharted space on a full-scale assault against the galaxy, the Great Zeta War has started. Two years later, both factions were at a bitter stalemate. But the Andromeda Republic decided to hire a pair of former bounty hunters; a skilled sniper and pilot Bryce Kiness, and Agnar Reise, a heavy weapons specialist, to sneak behind enemy lines to find a way to end the war. Meanwhile, one of Zeta Empire’s flamethrower specialists, Kyle Savo, goes rogue and befriends a teenage prisoner of the empire named Arrua Veronis. After making a daring escape from the Zeta Empire, they come across the two mercenaries and decide to join forces, becoming the galaxy’s most daring group of mercenaries, the Marauders!

Rule or Die
“Rule or Die,” said the Voice, and Luke opened his eyes in a new world. Lucas Haldoff has never had an easy life. Instead of giving up after being abandoned by his father on the streets of Mexico at the age of twelve, he did everything he could to survive. By the time he turned fifteen, he ruled those same streets with an iron fist. At eighteen, he took control of his first gang. Now, it is his 25th birthday, and he is on the verge of becoming the hidden leader of a state in the U.S. All he wants to do is enjoy his hard-earned power and prestige while reconnecting with the family he has just found. His father saw him as nothing but another useless mouth to feed, but his mother and sister had loved him unconditionally. Alas, on the brink of finally enjoying his accomplishments, he is chosen by the Voice and thrust into the world of Bloodmagic in the body of a common soldier. He is given a simple order: either take command of his city, or die and be graced with endless torture. His lust for power is unrivaled. His greed is legendary. His selfishness is the stuff of whispered stories. He seems like the perfect man for the job…but in a bloodstained world that has been on the brink of destruction for decades, is he capable enough to succeed? Will the journey change his beliefs and his principles, or reinforce them? Will he rise, or be crushed? Will he rule…or die? ...

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
