《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.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

NPC
Erin longed for adventure, Maya new better. Erin wanted to be a Hero, Maya would never trust them. Maya also knew a simple truth; Erin could never be a Hero. She had two sharp horns poking from her hair. A cheerful smile with cute fangs that sparkled just so in the light. And lived in a world that would not smile in return. So, Maya smiled and hugged Erin when she spoke of her dreams with such boundless enthusiasm. They were best friends, and best friends did not shatter each other’s dreams. Heroes have arrived in Cairn village, one of which is Aiden; a 20-year-old-runaway who's just excited to play a super awesome VRMMORPG and maybe rekindle the eternal war without thinking... I added the tramtising tag since the whole demon lord thing isn't entirely moral and I guess that's what that tag means, better safe than sorry I guess. This is a rewrite and I still do small edits on earlier chapters for grammar and style every now and then so let me know any critiques you have or even if you just think something is stupid. The whole point of writing this is so I can improve while (hopefully) entertaining some people. My update schedule can be erratic but I will finish this eventually. Eventually being in a few years... I decided to take a break from this while I finish a separate project sorry about that. There are also puppy pictures...you have been warned.

Any input helps a ton! I do take suggestions seriously. I have 30+ chapters written ahead of time but they still need some polishing and editing to post each one. Please point out any errors you find in the comments! I read every one and reply to most! Release schedule is not set in stone right now as my schedule is very hectic. I promise I will not drop this and try to post at least every other day. Every 3 Days max. Thanks again for taking the time to read my story! NOTE: THERE WILL BE COMBAT, BRUTALITY, MINOR GORE AND MINOR LANGUAGE. Also minor romantic situations. If it gets out of hand I'll add the tags for it. 11/30/17 I just updated some middle chapters. There were some bad spelling and grammar mistakes. In my defense I posted those chapters on my honeymoon lol. It should flow better now. I know the prologue is still troublesome but give it a shot beyond that. It gets much better. 12/5/17 I have been updating some of the earlier chapters. Nothing canon changing but it’s fleshed out a bit and flows better. Also fixed some glaring mistakes.
