《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO SETE
Advertisement
Ao voltar pra casa naquele dia, vários questionamentos me passaram na cabeça. Por que a Liz veio falar comigo? Por que ela queria que eu fosse ao baile, por que ela não me deu o que queria me dar ali na escola mesmo? E por que ela queria me dar algo? O que estava acontecendo? Eu estava confuso, mas numa confusão boa porque a garota da minha vida havia acabado de falar comigo. Estava tão pensativo que nem notei Victoria falando comigo.
-Matt? Matthew, me responde!
-Ah, oi, Vic. Você disse algo? – Eu disse.
-Eu estou te perguntando a um tempão o que aconteceu e você só fica aí vidrado no nada com essa cara de retardado! – Ela respondeu.
-Ah, minha cara Victoria, hoje eu sou o homem mais feliz de todo o mundo – eu disse apenas isso e entrei correndo pela porta da frente de nossa casa.
Parei na cozinha, beijei minha mãe, dei um tapinha nas costas de meu pai e subi para meu quarto. Por um momento, esqueci que meu quarto era só um cubículo e bati meu pé na cômoda, mas nem isso me incomodou. Eu caí na minha cama, rindo. Eu estava delirando, já imaginava eu e Liz casados, com dois filhos, morando na beira de uma praia. De repente, alguém bateu na porta do quarto.
-Entra – eu falei.
Era Victoria.
-Será que agora você pode me explicar o porquê dessa alegria toda? – Ela disse.
Eu soltei uma gargalhada. Estava incontrolável.
-Victoria, eu definitivamente vou aquele baile. Vai ser que dia? – Eu perguntei.
-No sábado da semana que vem. Caramba, Matt, por que você não me fala logo o que houve? Por que você decidiu ir ao baile assim, do nada? Você tava só reclamando, não queria ir, tava até deprimido – ela disse com uma certa indignação.

-Eu fui convidado para ir ao baile, maninha.
-Quê? Meu Deus, Matt, isso é ótimo! Quem te convidou? – Ela disse, mal contendo sua animação.
-Te dou um prêmio se você acertar.
-Foi aquela japonesinha que senta no fundo da sua sala, eu sabia! Yumi o nome dela, né? Ela é linda Matt, bom trabalho – ela disse, usando sarcasmo na última parte.
-Não, não foi ela. Te dou outra chance, mas é a última.
Victoria mordeu os lábios, sem saber de quem eu falava.
-É alguém que eu conheço? – Ela perguntou.
-Sem dicas – eu respondi.
-Qual é, maninho! Isso é sacanagem. Tem muita gente lá na escola, como eu vou saber?
-Tudo bem, eu te falo. Sente-se para não cair – eu disse, e ela sentou na beirada da minha cama.
-Sem enrolar, por favor – ela pediu.
-Tá bom, tá bom. Quem me convidou para o baile foi... - eu fiz uma longa pausa – Liz Gillies.
Pensei que Victoria iria sair pulando pelo quarto por eu ter sido convidado pela garota mais bonita da escola, mas ao invés disso, ela se aproximou mais de mim na cama e disse:
-Matt, isso é ótimo, de verdade, mas como você sabe que essa garota não tá só brincando com você? Você sabe que ela é amiga do Avan, do Justin, de todos esses caras que fazem você sabe o quê. E tava rolando uns boatos de que ela tava saindo com o Liam.
Eu não acreditava que minha própria irmã estava duvidando do convite de Liz.
-Victoria, de todas as palavras que você falou aí, 90% foi idiotice. Ela não tá brincando comigo e pouco me importa de quem ela é amiga. Além do mais, se ela tivesse ficando com esse cara, por que ela me convidaria? – Passei as mãos pelos cabelos, e cocei o projeto de barba que começara a nascer em mim.

-Eu só queria ter certeza de que não é tudo uma trama pra te enganar, Matt, desculpa.
-Sai do meu quarto, agora. Quero ficar sozinho, sem nada pra estragar minha alegria – eu nunca tinha falado assim com a minha irmã.
Os olhos de Victoria se encheram de água e aquilo me deixou um pouco mal. Ela se levantou da cama, passou os dedos debaixo dos olhos e disse:
-Tudo o que eu quero é que você fique bem.
-Eu tô muito bem. Agora vaza, tchau.
Ela fechou a porta doquarto devagar e eu joguei meu travesseiro na porta quando ela terminou de sefechar. Mas não importa, eu queria relaxar naquele dia, pois nada iria mederrubar.

Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord.A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he’ll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can’t.As the game becomes too real and touches a part of him that he’d rather leave buried, he is faced with two questions:Who is he, really?And who should he become?

The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.

A Tale of the Golden Crown
Life is unpredictable. If you turn left, you could meet the love of your life. Turn right, and be a millionaire. And if you think you are clever, go straight, only to be killed by brick-kun and reincarnate as an Heir to a Duchy. Which is fine as long you ignore plots, rivalries and struggles for power, but even if the tales of the Golden Crown are so many as stars in the sky, they all weigh the same in the end. Follow with me the story of Leonidas, as he tries to find his way in a Kingdom at the verge of a civil war and to find out, what the rules of his rule should be, so that his own crown would not crush him to death. And of course, conquest and plots! And action! I hope… Hi! The story is a little bit inspired by CK2 and Stronghold and serves two purposes: to better my writing skills and to have fun! So, I welcome grammatical criticism and pointing out plot holes, as I would want the story to make sense for my readers too! Have fun! 31.05.2022. Currently in Hiatus, as I hit a wall in writing conversations. So I will try something else and come back later to this story.
