《Hotshot? ~{Tomboo}~》~{Chapter 2}~
Advertisement
Homeroom had just ended. I was suprised that Ranboo and I hadn't fought....,but then again we had fought on the bus.
I walked out of homeroom and towards my locker again. I saw Tubbo there getting his things. I grabbed my things and then we waved and parted to classes. Thank god my next class of the day didn't have any stupid football players- or not one in particular.
We have a pretty long lunch. 45 minutes to be exact, plus passing period 5 minutes.
As I walked out of my second period, I headed towards my locker, per usual. I didn't see Tubbo there though, so after I'd put my things away, I just ran off towards the cafeteria. There I found Tubbo in a secluded table on his own. I walked up to him and sat down, "Hey Tubs, did you already get lunch?"
"They didn't have much good food." He said as he read his book.
"You can't starve yourself Tubs." I said.
He chuckled, "I won't Tommy. I'll be fine."
"Alright, I'll be back." I smiled then got up and left to the lunch line.
I quickly gathered food onto my tray and then began to make my way over to Tubbo. As I walked closer, there appeared to be a crowd....which was really wierd cause Tubbo isn't very social...and he doesn't have any other friends then me. Not cause he's wierd or anything, more because he hates socializing.
A hand grabbed my arm. I looked to the side to see a brunette girl with a bunch of others behind her.
Stuff like this happened all the time....and it gets annoying, I'll admit.
"Yes?" I asked.
She blushed, "Uhm...I- I was wondering if you were single?"
"Yeah." I replied.
The girls behind her began to whisper and giggle.
She blushed brighter and smiled, "Would you like to go on a date....maybe?"
All the girls behind her gasped and anticipated my answer.
"No I'm good." I said and pulled away, making my way over to Tubbo.
The crowd made way for me and I saw Tubbo sitting down with his book as he spoke to....Ranboo?!

"What is this?!" I asked loudly.
Ranboo stood up, "I'll talk to you later Tubbo. Bye."
I scoffed, "No you won't. Leave him alone and piss off."
Ranboo rolled his eyes, "Whatever."
"And take your fan base with you." I added.
He just walked away annoyed.
I sat back down with Tubbo as the group of people left, "Was he bothering you?"
Tubbo shook his head, "No. He was just saying hello."
I raised an eyebrow, "For real?"
He nodded, "Yep.....and here comes your own fan base."
I looked over to the entrance of the cafeteria. There was the usual group of kids who would follow me around all the time.
I sighed, "We should really find a more private place."
Tubbo got up, "I'm gonna go read."
I frowned and stood up, "Oh c'mon Tu-"
"Hey Tommy! Where have you been?!" Someone asked me as another grabbed my arm.
Tubbo chuckled then waved as he mouthed, "Later."
I sighed then put on my smile as I began to socialize.
By the end of lunch, my social battery was drained. We had five minutes to get to class, and right now I had to pee. As people from the crowd around me dispersed, I made my way to the restroom.
I quickly used the restroom and then went to wash my hands. As I was doing so, another stood beside me washing his own hands. I looked to the side of me to seethe one and only Mr.Hotshot.
I scoffed, "What did you- follow me here?"
"No. I just needed to use the restroom." He replied.
I shook my head and then dried my hands. He did the same and then we walked out of the restroom. We weren't walking together, it just looked that way. We had the same class next, so it just seemed like we were. But I'd never walk with him anywhere.
"So.....whats up?" He asked.
"Nothing. We're not friends." I said blandly.
He sighed, "We could be..."
"No. I'd never be your friend. So stop trying to be my friend when you know you hate me just as much." I said upset.

He huffed, "Tommy I seriously don't know what your issue is with me."
"It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that we're enemies and I hate you." I said angry and annoyed that he wouldn't just shut up and leave me alone.
"Your so rude dude. I've never done anything to you." He said confused.
I didn't reply, instead rolled my eyes and kept walking. As we arrived we parted ways to sit down.
Science class. One of my favorites because the teacher always let you chose where to sit. Plus, science is cool. You get to do fun expirements and sit at cool science desks. I went over to Tubbo. He sat in the back corner by himself.
"Sup Tubs?" I smiled.
"Hey Tommy.....why'd you walk in with Ranboo?" He asked confused.
I scoffed, "I didn't. We just got here at the same time."
He nodded and chuckled, "Well that makes more sense."
Then the teacher, Mr. Jacob's began speaking, "Alright class! Today we'll be splitting up into Lab pairs. Now, I know I always let you guys chose partners and where to sit....,but I figured we'd do it differently today."
I put my face in my hands, Did I say I liked Science?- What I meant was Science is mid.
Mr. Jacobs cleared his throat, "Alright, now I'll call out the pairs..."
As he called out pairs I only listened for mine or Tubbo's name. Tubbo got called to pair with some random, while I still hadn't been called. I looked around the room at who was left. There was two football players and two random nerds.
I silently pleaded, "Nerd, nerd, nerd, n-"
"Tom Simons and Mark Ranboo." Mr. Jacobs announced.
I groaned and put my face back in my hands, "Could my life get any worse?!"
Tubbo nudged me and whisper yelled, "Tommy!"
I just groaned again.
Once the teacher had paired everyone off, everyone began moving seats. Tubbo grabbed all his things, "Later Big Man."
Then he walked off to his new seat. I was too depressed to move. Ranboo could move his snoby ass over here.
"Hey....guess we're lab partners." Ramboo chuckled taking his seat beside me.
I lifted my head from my hands, "Shut up."
He raised his eyebrows, "Jeez your sensitive, huh?"
I rolled my eyes, "No. Just annoyed."
He nodded, "Kay....so you smart?"
I sighed, "Does it matter?"
He shrugged, "Guess not....I'm smarter than you anyways."
I fake smiled, "Well if you really think so, you can do all the work on your own."
He scoffed, "Yeah nice try.....so whose house we gonna work on it at?"
I groaned, "I see enough of you at school. But are you saying I have to see you outside of school?"
He sighed, "I mean if you want a good grade on this project....then yes."
I whined, "I don't want to see your ugly face at all!"
He clenched his fist, "Fine then....I can do it myself."
I chuckled, "I'm sure you can find a nerd or smart girl to do it for you- free of charge." I laughed, "Well, shit....I've bet you've never worked a day in your life."
He huffed, "I have a 4.0."
I laughed again, "Exactly! Mr.Hotshot has a 4.0, and how? Cause he has the work done for him."
He frowned, "Thats not true. Your just saying that cause you don't like me."
I couldn't stop laughing, "Sorry not everyone likes you! Just cause your a sports star, supposedly smart, said to be good looking, and rich....doesn't mean you're all that."
He seemed confused, "Wh- What? Ri-" he shook his head, "Whatever..."
I sighed and calmed my laughter, "Alright now let's start, yeah?"
He was bland for the rest of class, which I quite enjoyed.

The Final Test
Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct.

However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner.

Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise.

Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
