Chapter 16, Halloween Party
Are you ever so bored, you start playing with games you don't even like?
All these days have been passing by super fast, today was the Halloween dance and I was overexcited.
Once school finished, Xiomara and I ran over to my house so we can get ready together, it was very exciting.
"Im very excited, do you think Jaysean's gonna be there?"
Xiomara asked as she put on her girl scout skirt, I looked at her and chuckled before nodding my head.
I put on my girl scout shirt and buttoned it up before we sat down on my bed to do our nails, we wanted to paint them a different color.
"So, how do you feel now that you and Jaden are on a break?"
She asked another question, I looked at her and sighed.
I didn't know what I wanted to say, I wasn't happy because I was without him but I wasn't exactly upset I was without him either.
"Scar, you don't have to be away from him if you don't want to."
I nodded at the words and stood up, I walked over to my vanity and did my hair.
Xiomara walked over to me and rubbed my back, I looked at her and smiled softly.
"Let's go get something to eat and then we should head to the dance, remember, don't think about anything other than yourself."
Xiomara said, I nodded and grabbed my phone.
We walked downstairs and left the house, we were headed to a diner to get something to eat but I wasn't hungry at all.
Once we got there, we took a booth and sat down quietly.
Xiomara had been texting Jaysean while I was staring at old photos of Jaden and I, that's when I got a notification from Instagram.

Oh lord, what if he posts him and Meredith together?
I wondered to myself as I clicked the notification, but I was wrong.
Really, really wrong.

"Leave it to Jaden to play my favorite song."
I informed Xiomara as we left the diner, she looked at me and laughed.
We arrived to the school and there was a lot of people, different costumes and different smells clashing together.
"Go find Jaysean, I'm gonna go get some punch."
I told Xiomara, before she had the chance to tell me no, I was already by the punch bowl.
I grabbed a cup and poured some punch when I felt hands wrap around my waist, I sighed and turned around.
"Oh, Layla hi!"
I smiled at the presence of my best friend, I hugged her tightly as she laughed at me.
I had told her about the break so she understood my relief, we spoke a little bit before Javon took her away.
I was standing by the snack table, taking bites from a chocolate chip cookie when I watched the doors to the gym open.
Meredith and Jaden walk in, they weren't wearing matching costumes so I was pretty relaxed about it.
Jaden was about to approach me when 'Toothbrush by DNCE started playing, I was pulled to the dance floor by Xiomara, Javon, Layla and Jaysean.
This was a song we always played whenever we were on FaceTime together, we were singing along as we jumped around.
"BABY, WE DON'T HAVE TO RUSH! YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AT MY PLACE, AT MY PLACE!"
We screamed in unison, laughing as we nearly fell on one another.
Xiomara, Layla and I were pointing at each other while screaming the lyrics like lunatics.
"I'm gonna grab us some water!"

I shouted over the loud music that was playing, everhone nodded as I turned my heel and walked to the drink table.
I grabbed five water bottles, as I turned around I was faced with the chest of Jaden.
"Can I get a box of girl scout cookies?"
He joked, I chuckled and smiled at him.
Even when we're on a break he managed to place a smile on my face, I hated it but love it at the same time.
"That'll be about ten dollars sir."
I went along with the joke, he grabbed the waters from my hand and placed them on the table as he got closer.
"I don't exactly have money on me."
He responded, I smiled and as he leaned down to kiss me, I swerved and grabbed the waters from the table.
Jaden looked at me with a jaw drop, I smiled at him and blew him a kiss before returning to my friends.
Are you ever so bored, you start playing with games you don't like?
Jaysean asked as we took a seat at an empty table in the back, we all nodded in agreement.
I made sure I sat beside Layla so that Jaysean had no other choice but to sit beside Xiomara, I want them to be together.
"Meredith looks like a witch."
Layla glared at the girl dancing around with Jaden, I laughed at the comment and took a sip from my water.
"She's gonna grow warts."
Xiomara added and then did a witch cackle, I spat out my water and started choking as I began to laugh.
Everyone began to laugh as we continued making witch jokes, this was the best moments of my life and I'll cherish them forever.
"This break better end soon, Jaden seems like he just wants nothing more than to hold you again.
Javon commented as he looked at his twin brother who was looking over at us, I nodded and continued to drink my water.
I wasn't about to give in because he missed me, don't get me wrong, I miss him too but he has to learn what he did.
You can't just be friends with an incredibly pretty ex and then expect your girlfriend to be okay with it, it's just something you don't sprung up on someone.
It's just something you don't do without discussing it first, or is that too toxic?
Am I toxic?
I thought to myself as the music drowned out the rest of my thoughts.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
