It was free period, you saw Neil talking to Nikki and walked up to him. "We need to talk." You whisper, grabbing his wrist and walking away. "H-Huh?? Wait what—" Stuttered Neil.
The two of you made your way out of the school, you look around and notice no one is listening. You then stare at him dead in
"You heard me."
"What? Heard what—"
"What Ered and I were talking about."
He paused. "How did you—"
"Max. He told me."
"Oh— Y/n I'm sorry..."
"Sorry? Sorry isn't enough for me, Neil. You lied to me! You even promised you didn't hear me!" You yelled, tears welling in your eyes. You were frustrated, it was fine if he heard you, but could he not admit it to you?
"I'm so sorry Y/n I just didn't want to lose your friendship—" He mumbled. "You wouldn't have lost anything by saying you did! I don't care if you heard me, I just care if you lie! Do anything you want, but if you lie, It's not okay. I hate it when people lie, you know this Neil!" You protested, tears threatening to spill.
"I'm sorry Y/n, I promise, and I PROMISE that this time I will never lie to you again." He states. You pause.
"Promise?" You whisper.
"Promise." He gives you a genuine, non-awkward, smile.
"Thank you, Neil." You whisper, hugging him. He looked down on you. Shocked. A smile slowly creeped onto his lips. "No, thank you."
...
Two weeks had passed and you were walking down the halls, you had Art, making your way to class you were a bit late, and bumped into someone. "Goodness— I'm sorry!" You mumble. Backing up.
"Y/n?" Asked Tina. "Tina? Aren't you supposed to be in class?" You asked. "I could ask the same thing." Tina stated. "I'm late, what's your excuse?" "I saw Max spray-panting the outside of the school, had to tell a teacher." She shrugged.

"Hey Tina?" You asked. "Yeah?" She said. "If I ever do something wrong, will you tell on me?" You mumble quietly. She thought for a second. "Yeah." She states. That hurt. "Justice comes before friends, Y/n...." Tina mumbled on her words, she glanced at you and saw that you were hurt, maybe even offended.
"But, for you I'll make an effort. I won't say anything, just don't go out spray-panting walls." She smiled, though the smile looked forced, you brushed it off and smiled. "You're the best, Tina!" You hug her. She hugs back.
oh
...
Walking down the street back home, you felt sad. Neil was sick today and didn't come to school. So you had no one to walk with.
That day in particular Max's parents did want to pick him up and made him walk home. Walking he noticed you. He picked up his pace and smirked when he was walking beside you.
"Maxwell? Since when did you walk?" You asked. "I just felt like it." He smirked. "Why, do you have a problem with it?" He says. "No— Not really... I would just prefer Neil." You mutter. "Neil? What's so special about Neil? He's just a stupid nerd—"
"Are you really saying those things about him?" You ask. "Well ya, they're coming out of my mouth, now aren't they?" He asked. "Wow... I can't believe anyone would ever talk about a friend like that." You mutter.
You stop walking and Max does to.
"What kind of friend are you? Do you even hang out with him? I bet you haven't once complimented him in a month." You glare. "Bet! I complimented him yesterday." He stated. "When, what and where." You glare.

"Before school, his hair, outside of school. I said his hair looked clean for once." He shrugs. "That's not a compliment—" "Yes it is, I'm saying his hair is clean." "That— That isn't fair— Gosh, whatever." You roll your eyes as you start walking again.
"How far do you even live?" You asked. "Not that fair, just [place far from here]" He shrugs. "What?!" You gasp. "What?" He asked. "That's like a thirty minute walk— Here, I'll call an uber. I'd drive you but I'm fifteen."
You called up an uber and gave him a hundred dollars, you explained to him that you weren't going with but that should cover it. If it was less he could keep the tip.
...
Max made his way into the passengers seat. He sneaked glances to you. "Thankyou." He muttered. "Pardon?" You ask. "Thank you, god. You just had to be annoying, huh?" He glared, though you swore you saw a small grin. "Well, you're welcome Max. I'll see you at school." You smile, waving your arm as the van started driving away.
"Well, I helped a person in need. Karma, you got my back now right?" You joked to yourself. "God, I'm talking to myself. I really am going crazy."
Walking back home you opened your front door, closing it behind you you took of your shoes. Putting down your school bag you start to cook up some instant noodles, it was kind of what you lived off of at the moment. You were too lazy to go grocery shopping, while your dad barely ate so he didn't notice the food not even being there.
Maybe you could go shopping tonight?
... Hm
Nah
Maybe tomorrow

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
