After everyone came in it was around 5:00 and we were so bored. So bored that we started playing board games. For and hour.
Aye man What y'all trynna do?" I asked.
"Y'all wanna slide to the JV game?" Eli asked.
This would be the first time I've went out with everyone in a while.
"Yeah I heard they be lit . But imma finna tweet and Snapchat that we going so more people show up." Melo said getting on his phone.
"Same." Everyone else said. All of us put together are gonna bring a crowd in its self.
"It starts at 8 and it's 6 so we got two hours to chill." Melo said. We went into back yard again and just talked in a circle.
"My phone blowing up." I said laughing at all the tweets.
"What they saying?"
"Kaylee why you did that girl like that? Yo mama raised you better than to expose people like that damn." I read off one making everyone laugh.
"Another one said Now she ain't tell you her business for you to tell the whole world. But what's her child name?" I said. "Some one replied with I thought she wasn't suppose to tell people business. Then then she said well @iamkaylee already told 90% of it why not give it 100%."
"They wildlin." Zo said hopping on the counter. "What song y'all feeling?"
"Play Magnolia by playboi carti." I said.
"In New York I milly rock hiding sock. Running from an opp then I shoot an opp." Melo rapped.
"And I'm on the block and I'm in the block." I said dancing in my seat with daijon.
"Aye aye aye. Get Kaylee aye." Daijon said recording.
For one hours we just vibe in the back yard. Everyone pretty much left to go get changed about after that hour and we'd meet them there.
"You ready bae?"
"Yeah I am. Lemme put my lip gloss on." I said coming out of Tina's closet with an exclusive BBB jacket. It was back with the triple B's in blue glitter. I had in blue jean shorts and my jordan 8s.

We make our way to the school meeting up with the boys and Mary. We didn't have to pay since we play basketball for the school.
We sat in the front row and watched the people flow in.
"Thank you guys for coming." Coach haven said. "They need to learn how to play in front of a crowd and if y'all didn't come they probably would never."
"Aye we was bored so why not show love to the jitts?" Eli said.
"Wassup B.A." I see a tall light skin guy say. He looked hella familiar.
" LSK that ain't my name nigga." Eli said. "I had to turn off my comments cause of that."
"You got beef with OSN?" A little white guy said.
"Hella yeah. Tell him it's on sight when I see him next." Eli said. The two sat in the row behind us.
"Hey you're Kristopher London." I said finally remembering who him was.
"Hey you Kaylee Williams." He said mocking me.
"I was trying to remember who you was but it would come to mind till now." I said.
"What happened?" The white guy who I had never seen before asked.
"I sprained my ankle and tore my ACL and a little of my MCL." I said.
"Sucks you were good and ball too."
"I still am good fuck you mean?" I said.
"I didn't mean it like that I just meant you might now be great when you come back." He said digging himself into a whole.
"So you saying imma be trash?" I said giving him the - what you mean nigga - face.
"What! N - no." He said . I got this nigga stuttering.
"You know what? I don't like you." I said turning around and watching the JV team warm up.

"I see that."
"What is that suppose to mean!" I said looking at the white boy kris said was named jesser.
"Like many people don't like you." He said nonchalantly then he realized what he said.
"Bro just stop talking." O said.
"Please." I added on.
"Aye Victoria just said on twitter. I don't know why y'all going to the JV game to go see a rat who can't even play good basketball." Gelo said reading off his phone.
"If i could bang her head against the concrete and break her cranium I would. Hearing the sound of it cracking would just make my world happier." I said.
I didn't hear anything for a while and I turned to my right to see all the boys looking at me like I lost it.
"You remember those breathing exercises I thought you babe? Yeah well you should really use those before you get arrested for murder." Melo said loosing my balled fists.
"Freshman these days. So violent?" Quan said.
"You wanna get yo skull bashed in too?" I asked him.
"No I'm good. Totally like not being dead."
"Thought so."
"Shes scary." Kristopher said to Melo.
"Yeah . I know." Melo said.
"I am not." I said.
The music was loud and we were making fun of the JV kids missing there 3 pointers. Most of them air balled so bad.
"Hey can I get a picture of you two?" This kid asked.
"Yeah." Melo said. Me and him posed for the camera.
"My brother thinks your cute." The boy said pointing to his older brother. I remember this happened with Melo when we went to the movies.
"Ha okay." I said.
"Malcom come over here." The kid yelled.
"Wassup jitt?"
"Remember her? You said she was fine."
"Yeah. She i do ." The boy said not even fazed.
"I'm not single but my girl Mary is." I said putting me hand on her shoulders.
"Oh really?" He said looking at Mary. I swear his pupils turned into hearts. "You wanna go to the concession stand with me?"
"Yeah sure." She said.
She got up and walked away. She looked back at me with wide eyes and I gave her a open mouth smile with two thumbs up.
"Match maker head ass." Zo said.
"My bitch finna get some." I said. "So I ain't worried."
"I miss it." I said to Melo watching the other team warm up..
"I know babe. You'll be back before you even know it though." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder bringing me closer.
"Hopefully." I said.
"And 1!" Zo yelled.
"The game hasn't even started yet!" I said.
"And You sound like dad." Gelo said.
"Yeah. That's y'all you hear when Gelo does his hook shot or when Melo goes up for a lay up." Zo said laughing. " And 1! And 1! Aye ref what you doing?! And 1!"
"That's show nuff how he be sounding." daijon said.
"I just wanna know how he got a foul during warm ups." I said to zo.
"In my imagination." He said doing the spongebob rainbow.
"You so childish." I said laughing.
Today has been pretty chill other than the whole hall way thing and twitter stuff. I have a feeling something even bigger is gonna go down sook enough though.

8 1922Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 162Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev
