《Loving Everly Gray (✔️)》Chapter 4

"Are you serious?" Elliot asked. "You want me to help in planting and ruin my outfit?"
"It's not like we are forcing you.This is what we like doing in our free time."
He shake his head in disapproval manners. "You are pretty weird."
"Thanks." I said awkwardly, tell me something new.
"I didn't mean it in a rude way." He said scratching his head awkwardly.
"Since when do you care about other's feelings?" I asked and his face burnt with embarrassment as he stammered to explained.
"Are you in?" Abby asked.
"Sure?" He said.
"Don't force yourself." I said to him. "You don't like it, just leave."
"I for sure want to know what fun you get from planting." He said as he give me a grinned.
"Sure." I said and handed him the tools.
I knew Elliot is pretty smart, not only does he always score an A+ in his classes, but he is athletic and handsome too. Now, that seem unfair to some, but that's how the world is. Unfair.
He was quick to understand instruction and was able to plant some seeds for Abby and I.
It was lunch time in school and we for sure had fun. He is not that bad, he knows how to have fun and of course knows how to make us laugh. Charming, that's how he breaks people's heart.
"You have a little mud on your face." I handed him the wipe and he struggled to wipe. I shake my head and wiped it for him.
"Thanks." He said.
"Let's go back, I am so hungry." Abby whined.
"Right, since you had fun and so did we. Let's keep it a one time thing." I said to Elliot and both Abby and him frowned.

"Why?" Both asked in unison and I give them a 'Are you being serious now?' look.
"We are of course not from the popular group." I said to Elliot. "Your crowd don't mix with ours and we don't mix with yours, they make fun of us."
Abby nodded her head in understanding and she looked disappointed, but that is the truth.
"No one will dare to make fun of you two." He promised.
"We both are not games, Elliot." I said. "We all have feelings, don't give us hope when you can't keep your promises."
His fist tightened and he scowled at me. "You don't know me." He snapped.
"That's right, I don't know you and Abby here doesn't know you too, so let's keep it that way."
It feels like he wanted to say something, but kept shut and took his bag and left us behind, just like how it was suppose to be.
"But he was fun." Abby tried and I shake my head.
"Not going to work." I said and looked at him fading away from my sight. "He would have left us anyway."
When we went to the cafeteria to purchase some foods, we saw him moody, Brianna trying to climb and sit on his lap, but he told her off. He made eye contact with us and pretended that he didn't see us. We purchased our foods and went back to our favourite spot, under the trees.
"I will go back to the office once the school is off." I said to Abby. "You think someone would have drop it there, now?"
"I really don't know, Ever." She sighed. "I know, that journal means a lot to you and I hope someone did drop it there."

As I munch on the fries and looked at the sun, I wonder if Elliot had fun today. My eyes widened realizing what I was thinking and quickly shake my head. Abby give me a weird look and I smiled at her.
Something surprised me the most was that Elliot came to class today, he usually does not show up to most classes and surprise fact, we were in few classes before , yet he didn't know Abby and I existed until today?
He walked straight to the back of the class and few students went to speak with him. He looked less moody and was actually having a conversation with his fellow group members until the teacher walked in.
Class was boring and I felt like someone was looking at me and looked around the class seeing Elliot, who did not even bother to look away after I caught him looking at me.
I turned back to face the front and pretended that he was looking somewhere else, but it is hard when you get the feelings. I was so glad when the class ended and I ran for the door. He could have made things easier for us by pretending, or for me at least that we don't know each other, but he decided to call me out in the busy hallway. I stopped and so did everyone else and I quickly turned to look at him. He made eye contact with me and in his bossy tone he said,
"She is all mine. Five feet apart from her,anyone touch her or even speak sh*t about her, you can say goodbye to your perfect High School life."
Students who was near me, stepped exactly five feet away from me after his sentence ended and started whispering. Elliot Walker, walked in all majestic towards me and whispered in my ear,
"I am driving you home, I will be waiting in the parking lot." And he stood up straight and turned around and walked away from me, leaving me in this mess and look from the whole school.
Elliot Walker, never do things like these. He never declare anyone is his, nor threatened the school about staying away from certain people, so everyone started buzzing,that maybe I was his prey and this is all a game. I believed in the rumours because I have seen with my own eyes, how he make girls fall in love with him and then boom! in front of the whole school he tells them it was a game, all a hunt and a chase game.
I promised myself, that I won't fall for him and reminded myself of the much trouble I can avoid by simply ignoring him, but is it possible to avoid him when he make it seem like he own the school?

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

The Head That Wears The Crown
It's a tale as old as time. Boy goes to funeral. Boy gets sucked into a different world. Boy has to lead a settlement. Boy has to lead a settlement? Boy has to lead a settlement. This is a story about that settlement, and some other stuff. Maybe. Disclaimer: Not sure if it qualifies enough for a gore tag. There is a description of someone's death somewhere in this, but I don't think it is descriptive enough to justify a gore tag. Disclaimer part deux: I initially started writing this as background for another story but got so into it I just ended fleshing it out a bit. Disclaimer part tres: People love reading disclaimers don't they? It's why I've included so many. They're just for you. Disclaimer part four: I know, this is getting egregious. You're starting to find it less funny. Just wait till the twentieth disclaimer, it will start being funny again. Disclaimer part five: I'm kidding, this is the last one. I don't promise I'll read every comment or message, but I certainly welcome your feedback. Disclaimer part six: I lied, it wasn't the last one. I wrote this story without breaking it down into chapters. It just goes, that means that the chapter ends when it ends, not when there is a convenient break in the story. That means that it's very annoying for you as a reader since chapters can end mid sentence. Hah! Sucker! Disclaimer part seven: Get ready for slow updates. Who knows when this will continue. Toss it on read later and come back in fifty years. Disclaimer part eight: Cover Photo by Arthur Ogleznev on Unsplash
