*Camila POV*
Before Harry went off with Zayn to have a chat, he had his hand in mine. Now I can sense he's slightly mad at me as he stopped with his kind gesture. I decided that the other boys were here too so I wouldn't ruin this dinner for them.
"So how long is the flight gonna be?" I asked.
"Just about four hours." Niall said. There was still a bit of tension going on so it was still a little awkward. I looked over at Zayn and he looked really....sad? Man I wonder what Harry said to him.
"Oh that's not too long. Also if we finish our food quick enough, we'll have extra time for something fun before the flight." I was honestly just trying to lighten the mood and try my best to keep their last day here great. I definitely ruined Harry's last day here and I hate myself for that. It's also Zayns fault too not just mine. We ruined their one month break with our stupid love triangle.
"I was thinking we could just go for a long drive around Tennessee because we never got the chance to really see it that well." Liam suggested. We all agreed with him except for Zayn. Zayn was just caught in his own mind, in some really deep thought.

We made some small talk as we took our last bites of our food. When we walked out I grabbed Harry's hand, he stared at me with a blank expression, but he went along. I wish I never stayed up with Zayn that night. I was honestly so close to loosing my feelings for him but that night brought them all back.
Harry sat at the back by the window and I sat right next to him. I leaned my head onto his shoulder and kissed it lightly.
I knew he was angry at me and I knew I couldn't say anything because everyone would here if I did. I took out my only option. My iPhone.
Me:
*harry, it's not my fault. He tried to play footsie with me, but I didn't react. Please don't be mad at me:(*
At this point I just felt so bad for him and myself that I typed anything that could possibly make him stop being mad at me.
He was staring out the window when a sound came out of his phone, He looked down and saw my text, he read it over and all of a sudden my phone vibrated.
Harrryy:
*well it's obvious you guys have something going on*
Me:
*i promise we don't, the last time we even talked properly was the night I found him bleeding. Remember, I love you Harry.*
Harry:
*ill give you a chance. Just fulfil your promise of not talking to him for a month. If you don't, then we're done.*
To be honest I don't know if I can fulfil that but I just don't want him to dump me, a big part of me still loves him a lot. I've shared experiences with him that I've never experienced with anyone else.

Me:
*i promise. That's what my ring is for right? I love you Harry.*
"Harry who keeps texting you." Louis asked after he heard the third ding.
"My mom, just asking me about my flight and shit." He lied. They went back into their small talk after he answered.
He turned his head and looked at my once again. He lowered his head and lightly kissed my forehead. As his lips were on my me, he whispered "I love you too Camila. So much."
****************
Awwweee even tho I'm a Zayn girl, I wish I had my own personal Harry.
JUST TO MAKE THIS CLEAR:
JUST BECAUSE ZAYN AND CAMILA LIVE IN TENNESSEE, DOESNT MEAN THEY ACT AND TALK AND DRESS ALL SOUTHERN-Y. THEY JUST MOVED THERE WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG SO THEY STILL HAVE THE LA AND UK CULTURE IN THEM:)

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
