《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO DEZ
Advertisement
Cheguei em casa completamente exausto pelos acontecimentos do baile. Ainda estava incrédulo por tudo o que eu havia passado. De todas as coisas que aqueles caras poderiam ter feito comigo, aquela foi a pior. Praticamente a escola inteira riu de mim, o baile parou só para me zoar. E ainda havia o que mais tinha me chateado, Liz. Como ela foi capaz de fazer isso comigo? Pensei que ela realmente me chamou para o baile para conversarmos, rirmos, ou sei lá o quê, mas ela era somente cúmplice do Avan, do Justin e do Liam. Ela não era como eu pensava, não era a garota doce, meiga, incapaz de fazer o mal a alguém que eu tinha criado na minha cabeça. Mas, infelizmente, eu ainda gostava dela. Ela tinha algo que me atraía, não só a sua beleza, mas a sua pretensão, seu olhar, algo nela me prendia de um modo que nunca havia acontecido antes. Eu não gostava de ter esses sentimentos, mas eu os tinha e não poderia negar isso.
Assim que entrei pela porta da frente, notei que todos já dormiam. Menos mal, pouparia explicações das minhas roupas molhadas e cheirando a cerveja. Porém, quando pus os pés no andar de cima, Victoria abriu a porta de seu quarto e veio em minha direção.
-Maninho! – Ela disse fanhosa, com o nariz escorrendo. – Como foi o baile?
A luz do corredor estava apagada, então ela pareceu não notar minhas roupas molhadas, graças a Deus.
-Foi ótimo! – Fiz minha melhor voz de animação. – As músicas estavam perfeitas, o DJ sabe escolher suas faixas.
-E Liz? O que houve? Me conta tudo!
-Ah – eu suspirei. – Eu deveria ter escutado você. Liz não é quem eu pensei que fosse, mas eu estou bem com isso. Não houve nada demais.

-Eu sinto muito, Matt – ela parou por um instante. – Que cheiro é esse? É cerveja? Matt, você bebeu?
Ela se alarmou. Era o meu fim.
-Que cerveja? Não, Vic, eu não bebi.
-Eu estou gripada mas ainda sinto cheiros, Matt. Isso é cerveja – ela pôs as mãos em mim, sentindo minha roupa molhada. – Matt, você tá todo molhado! O que aconteceu, pelo amor de Deus?
Ela tinha começado a elevar o tom de voz e eu temi que mamãe e papai acordassem.
-Shhh – eu disse. – Entre no meu quarto, vou explicar tudo.
Quando entramos no meu quarto, acendi a luz, mas fiquei de costas para Victoria. Ela ficou parada em frente a porta, esperando minha explicação. Me virei devagar e lhe revelei a catástrofe que me havia ocorrido. Ela levou as mãos à boca.
-Matt... – ela começou a querer falar algo.
-Não, deixa. Vou te explicar. Esse baile foi uma espécie de armadilha pra mim. Achei que Liz ia me dar um beijo, ou sei lá, e Avan, Justin e Liam jogaram cerveja em mim. Mas olha, eu tô bem. Estou um pouco confuso, mas eu tô legal, sério – menti para ela, senão ela começaria a chorar ali mesmo. – Não precisa se preocupar, ok? E não quero que isso chegue no ouvido dos nossos pais, por favor.
Ela me olhou pasma por alguns segundos. Antes, era apenas seu nariz que estava vermelho, mas agora seus olhos também estavam, com pequenas poças de lágrimas se formando nos cantos.
-Não chora – eu disse tocando seu ombro.
-Matt, eu queria te proteger de tudo isso. Se eu estivesse lá eu não teria deixado isso acontecer – ela segurou com força o apoio da minha cama e abaixou a cabeça. – Eu sinto muito. Desculpa, de verdade. Tem algo que eu possa fazer por você?
Dei um sorriso e tirei o blazer.
-Preciso de ajuda com a roupa suja – disse, esticando o blazer para ela.
Ela sorriu, o pegou da minha mão e beijou minha bochecha.
-Amo você – eu disse a ela.
-Eu também amo você – ela respondeu.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Now, with the beasts defeated and the other races diminished, humanity - having no common foe to fight turned upon itself, for war was in their blood and they again shed their blood in rivers.

The Ratter
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.-Edmund Burke There are three kinds of monsters that every rookie adventurer can be expected to face.

Giant rats multiply like wildfire and mature very quickly. Unlike rats, they can very quickly exceed their available food supply and start hunting for human flesh the moment that nothing else is available. A hungry swarm, unchecked, can eat a city alive.
