《second best // dnf》41. Last Day Together
Advertisement
After relaxing for while, the sun had been replaced by the moon and stars glittered in the night sky.
I put my arm around George's shoulder and whispered.
"I love you George."
"Shut up idiot."
"C'mon," I giggled, "You love me too."
"Whatttt? Nooo!" he scoffed but he reached up and kissed my cheek.
________________________________
When I awoke the next morning, I groaned and buried myself in the covers. I was led all alone in the bed. Today was George's final day in America. Our last day together. For God knows how long.
I heaved myself out of bed and trailed downstairs. Sapnap and George were both cooking something for breakfast. It smelled nice to be honest and I was hungry.
"How are you on this fine morning?" Sapnap joked, impersonating a British accent.
"Trash because Sapnap is here!" George then mocked in an American accent.
I was laughing uncontrollably when I suddenly stopped. I could smell burning. I scrunched up my nose and cautioned, "Is something burning?"
George and Sapnap's eyes widened and they both rushed over to the oven. Inside, a tray of sausages had just caught fire.
I remember the first time something like this happened; it was George's first day here and I was cooking bacon, he tried to put it out but it burned his hand. It was now his last day here and it wasn't going to happen again. I looked over at them, smoke was billowing off of the sausages and George started flapping his hands around to put out the flames. Wrapping my fingers around his wrist, I yanked him backwards, so he doesn't get hurt by the fire. He scowled as I exclaimed, "I can't let you get burned twice!"
Thinking fast, Sapnap through a cup of water over the fire and the flames sizzled away to ashes. The sausages were black. George chuckled awkwardly and said, "Sausages anyone?"

"Eh," Sapnap shrugged, "at least we have George's eggs," and he gestured to his scrambled eggs in a pan. They ushered me away as they plated up the eggs.
We sat around the table and stared down at our scrambled eggs. They were basically a watery, yellow mush.
"Ew George! C'mon this looks like shit!" Sapnap grimaced and George looked disappointed.
"I think they're wonderful Georgie," I lied but with a smile and shovelled a forkful into my mouth. I forced another smile and swallowed.

After breakfast, we all headed upstairs to get dressed and brush our teeth. I made my way into George's room when I was ready. He had changed out of his pyjamas and he was packing clothes into his suitcase. Everything from the room had been packed already; it made me sad.
"Packing already?" I questioned.
He nodded and sighed deeply, folding a t-shirt and plonking it in. He too seemed to have adopted a miserable expression on his face. But, it was his last day so I wanted him to remember this as the best day. I pulled him away from the suitcase and told him, "I have a surprise."
George groaned, "Dream, honestly I'd love to, but I have to pack."
"C'mon George! You don't even know what the surprise is yet!"
He shook his head and returned to packing. So, I grabbed him, lifted him off the floor and made him face towards me. George wrapped his arms round my neck and legs round my waist.
With raised eyebrows he sighed, "What do you want?"
"Just come with me," I replied and kissed his forehead.
Reluctantly, he took my hand and followed me out of the house. We strolled down the path until we were in the town centre. The sky was a brilliant blue and there wasn't a single cloud in sight.

"What a brilliant day to go on that ferris wheel!" I grinned pointing at it and George exclaimed, "WE'RE GOING ON THE FERRIS WHEEL?!"
I giggled at his excitement and nodded. We joined the queue and eventually made our way onto it. Taking our seats, we fastened our seatbelts and George was literally bouncing with excitement.
He buzzed, "I'm nervous to do this but I'm like really excited at the same time so I keep forgetting that I'm nervous!"
I laughed and watched as he gazed out at the view. The ferris wheel slowly turned as we admired the sights. We watched as the tiny people below rushed around doing there own thing.
George explained, "This reminds me of London, I always wanted to go on the London Eye but the line was always so long that I could never be bothered to queue up, especially on my own."
"Well, is it as fun as it looks?" I asked him.
"YEAH!"
_ _ _
We got off of the ferris wheel and started heading back home. With his fingers entwined in mine, he said to me, "I have to say, no better way to spend my last day in America than with you."

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.
