《Charisma》~ twenty-five ~
Advertisement
I was up before August, as usual. I got out of bed and handled my hygiene.
I sighed and glanced at the timer.
9:04:54.
I had 9 hours left with August. 5 hours left with my friends.
I threw it back down in the drawer.
"Dammit" I slightly yelled.
I turned and looked at August. He was still sleeping.
I went downstairs, and went to kitchen grabbing some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and making me a bowl of cereal.
I sat on the bar stool deep in thought, not even noticing August come in.
"G'mawnin'." He said.
"Morning love" I hopped up and pecked his lips.
"What you and yo friends getting into today?" He asked, making him a bowl of cereal.
"We just finna go to the mall, and shop a little" I shrugged.
"How long y'all gone be there?"
"For a few hours dad" I laughed, adding emphasis on "dad".
"Nah I'm daddy" He smirked.
"Boyyy" I laughed, and got up and put my bowl in the sink.
"Boyyy" He mocked, grabbing me.
"Aug I have to put my bowl in the sink."
"So?" He pecked my lips.
I laughed and kissed him.
"You betta' give me a kiss" He said, placing another one on my lips.
"Oh hush" I chuckled.

"That's cute, you getting that?" Kai said as I held up a yellow crop top.
"Yeah it's really cute" I said, draping it on my arm.
We were at the mall, shopping and laughing. Their flight left in a few hours, and we were trying to spend time together before they left for the states.
"Charisma, you getting thickk" Tiana hit my butt.
"I know" I stuck my tongue out.
"Oop" Kai said. "Let me find out"
I wiggled my eyebrows.

"Y'all nasty" She shook her head.
"Tell me something I don't know" I mumbled.
"That yo bestie Kendrick is over there" Tiana motioned towards his direction.
I looked over at him, and rolled my eyes.
I'm so tired of seeing him.
"Y'all mad at eachother?" Kai asked, holding up a shirt.
"I guess you could say that." I said, "Hold this, Ill be right back"
I looked at him again, and this time he was looking directly at me.
As I walked over there, I felt myself getting more irritated.
"What you here for?" I asked.
"I can't come to the mall?" He smirked.
"Did I say that shit?" I folded my arms.
"Well, you implied it. But enjoy your time, cause it looks like it's limited" He chuckled.
Before I realized, I slapped him. Hard too.
"Fuck you" I said, and walked back to the store with Kai and Tiana.
"Damn! What happened?" Tiana asked.
"Just got into an argument. Y'all wanna go get some fro-yo?" I asked.
"Um yeah, cotton candy with coco puffs, and cap'n crunch sounds good" Kai rubbed her tummy.
"That shit sounds trifling" Tiana scrunched her face up.
—
"Girl don't cry, I'm going to see you soon" I hugged an emotional Kai.
When was she wasn't emotional?
"I know, but it's so beautiful here, and I miss seeing y'all everyday" She sniffed a little.
"We miss you too light bright" August muffed her head.
"Jerk" She punched him.
"Bye brother" I hugged Chris.
"Bye lil bit".
"Bye baddieeee" I hugged Tiana.
"Bye love, Imma miss y'all" She chuckled.
"Likewise"
August and I watched as everyone boarded their flights.
"You hungry?" He asked, as we headed back to the house.
"No I'm fine" I shook my head.
"You good? Cause yo ass always hungry" He chuckled.
"I'm good, I swear" I laughed a little.
"Well I'm finna get me some McDonalds." He said.

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

They settle down in a small neighborhood known as Izzaya, in a city called Haggrew. Just a few days after moving, he finds out about a dark past from the Prohibition Era that still haunts the neighborhood, a dark past full of grizzly murders and kidnappings. Determined to know more about it, he finds out that there are ties to an old abandoned house he always passes by in the neighborhood, seeing it as a lead. Hesitant at first, due to the fear of breaking and entering. In order to find out more, he needed to go into the abandoned house where he finds a mysterious door that isn't like any other in the house. The infamous door that was presumed to be "The Culprit's Room." He enters the room where he suddenly got sucked in by an unstoppable force. He wakes up outside the abandoned house, to a confused girl in front of him trying to get him back into his senses. This girl was wearing vintage clothing and had quite a distinct accent that Steven had never heard of before, except in movies and TV series. Looking around, he knew something was definitely wrong. The abandoned house looked newly built along with other old houses in the vicinity. Trying to understand the situation he's in with all the clues he has, he eventually asks the girl what year it currently was to confirm his speculations. To this, the girl replies with a serious tone, "1927." Steven doesn't know what to do with all this information. Will he be happy that he could know more about the dark past and possibly try preventing it? Will he be distressed in trying to figure out how to come back to his own time?
