《Hoops •LaMelo Ball•》Just friends my ass
Advertisement
Me Melo and Metri are in the third row of seats. Gelo Isabella and Eli are in the second row, Lonzo is driving and Denise is passenger seat.
"Denise you the DJ put on some music." Melo said.
"What you trynna listen to dip?" Zo asked.
"Turn on XOXO tour llif3." Gelo answered for him.
I put my earphone in only for Melo to take them out.
"You good?"
"Yeah." I said shortly.
"No you not." He said hugging me side ways.
"Oh." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"What happened? Who did it?"
"My parents aren't home."
He looked confused. "Uh okay?"
"No it not like they went to the store or anything. They never home." I said. " moms always somewhere else and my dad is too. They are only home two weeks out of the month and even when they are home they are working. I can't go into there office either."
He looks like he understands better.
"I'm sorry I wish I could do something but I can't. All I can say is try to call them more cause I know you don't do that. And I see you decline all of there calls and you don't answer there messages." He said. "You can't make them be home but they are trying to reach out to you some way."
He was right I never answer there calls and I never text them back.
"You right." I said. " Hey Denise play took time."
"By who?"
"Famous Dex." Every body said at once.
"Who's famous dex?" Isabella asked.
"See this why nobody likes yo ass." Melo mumbles under his breath.
I heard Gelo chuckle and look back at Melo. "Ainna."
We get to the outlet and we start walking around. Everyone dresses comfortable with sweat pants or joggers. Isabella wore a skater type dress but I guess that's comfortable for her.
"I ain't never seen you wear those." Gelo said looking at my shoes.
"Cause I just got them duh." I said.
"Youre gonna be broke one day." Denise laughs.
"No my parents will be broke. I don't pay for my own shoes." I said. "What job do I have?"
"I always forget you're a youngster."
"Denise don't eva say that again." Melo said.
We start walking around and a little boy comes up to Lonzo. He couldn't have been more that 8.

" you're Lonzo ball right?" He said looking like a dwarf compared to Lonzos 6'6 height.
"Yes I'm Lonzo ball." Zo said laughing.
"Cool dude." The little boy said getting excited. "Can we take a picture together?"
"Yeah of course lil man."
The kids mom took the picture of them smiling side by side. They also took a silly picture and Lonzo picked him up and held him straight out in front of him like those cliché basketball pictures.
"Thank you." They kid said. "Hey your LaMelo Ball. And you LiAngelo ball. This is so cool!"
Melo and Gelo laughing at the excited little boy. "Yeah that's us."
"My sister thinks you're cute." The kid said to Melo.
Everyone looked at me but I wasn't fazed cause Melo is my man and that not gonna change for a while.
"Oh really? She does?" Metri said rocking from heel to toe. "What her name?"
"She over there. Lia! Come here." The little boy shouted.
The girl came over in a adidas outfit. She was chocolate and had braids in. She was really pretty.
"Wassup?" She said looking at her phone.
"Isn't this the boy you think is cute?"
She looked up and her eyes got hella wide. "LaMelo Ball?"
"That's me." Melo said laughing.
"Woah." She said in disbelief. "Can we get a picture?"
"Yeah."
They took there picture. "Can I get a kiss on the cheek?"
I snapped my head up from looking at my phone.
"Uh I don't think my girl would like that." He said looking at me.
You right.
"Understandable."
I let my guard down. The girl and LiAngelo got a picture together too and they left.
"Calm down kaylee." Gelo said as we were walking.
"I'm calm." I said honestly.
"She is." Metri agreed." She would been went off on Melo do she wasn't."
"Why would I be worried? If his ass woulda kissed her cheek I woulda knocked the shit outta him but he didn't do life is good."
"She my favorite." Denise said to Melo.
Me and Denise get along really well. She's funny and she understands my soccer problems.
"Guys let's go into dicks." I said running into the store. I love this store oh so much.
They boys laughed. "Y'all are so immature."

We walk into the store and me and Denise go straight to the soccer section.
"These are cute." She said showing me a pair of cleats.
I nodded and looked at the sizes of all the cleats. None of them were my size.
"Caramel I want these. " I tell LaMelo.
"Get them." He said.
"They don't have my size here. I've looked threw all of the boxed."
"Ask them if they have your size in the back." He said.
"I don't wanna be social." I whine hanging off his arm.
"Your being difficult kaylee." Melo said laughing at me. "Excuse me cause I get these in a size 4 and a half?"
"You need a 4 and a half? You taller than me." The worker Melo was talking to.
"No she does." Melo said point to me.
"Oh okay." The worker said looking me up and down. "I wouldn't think a pretty thing like you played soccer."
"What does that mean?" I said with an attitude.
"I didn't mean anything by it I-i- I meant I mean that um you just really pretty and I would th-think that you would wanna get dirty." He said stuttering.
He was obviously Puerto Rican and he was fine but he was getting in my nerves.
"You know what? I think you should go try and find a four and a half in the back." Melo said.
"And are you her do boy?"
"No I'm her boyfriend." Melo said holding up our interlocked hands.
With that he left and me Melo Gelo and Denise went back to talking.
She brown skinned and was wearing some light washed jeans and a black Dicks shirts. She put red and white 5s.
"Cleats in a size four and a half ?" The girl asked and I raised my hand.
"You need to stop leading that girl on Gelo." I said to Gelo.
"Who you talking bout?" Gelo asked.
"Isabella. She really think you wanna be with her when in reality you don't." I explained to him trying on my cleats.
" I know . But I just don't know how to let her down easy." Gelo said putting is phone down. "She's really sweet I just don't love her as much as I use to."
"Well you need to do that soon like tonight cause she really think y'all gon be together for ever."
"I was planing on doing it when we got back." He said sighing.
"Y'all ready? movie starts in 20 minutes we gotta start walking over there." Metri said with a

"I bought your ticket were getting popcorn now." Metri said.
"Thanks dude." I said taking my tickets. "Where are the boys, Denise and Isabella?"
"In the theater. They already got they stuff."
We get all of our stuff. She Metri gets a large popcorn for the both of us and I get a whole bunch of candy.
We walked into the theater and tried to find out people. There are so many people in here ready to watch this movie .

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Anti-Hero: Journey of Fear
There is a story where the hero makes friends, completes quests, and saves the world. This is NOT that story. In the VR world of Fate: Experience Acute Realism, the main character cuts his way through both the players and NPCs alike. This story takes a close look at how a true full immersion VR would be played. The setting is an open VR world where the players struggle to survive with a lack of knowledge and the NPCs panic in regards to the Travelers invading their world. The anti-hero of this story is cold and calculating. Sparing no one from his reign of terror he gives into occasional bouts of kindness before he is forced back on the path of blood and tears. For where there is a hero who seeks to bring people together to help the world move forward, there is an anti-hero who brings people together to seize the world for himself. WARNING: This story contains extreme violence, in every single chapter. This story contains references to sex, but no explicit scenes. This story has light to mild swearing. My chapters normally range from 4,000 to 5,000 words. This story does not contain happy endings, middles, or even beginnings.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.
