Rebound: A 2nd Chance Chapter 154
Advertisement
Jason had just cleared out all of the dishes and was in the middle of wiping down the table when he heard Samantha call out for him.
Jason took out his note pad and pen as he looked at Samantha "Sorry I couldn't really hear what you said. Do you know what you want?"
Samantha had her elbows on the table as she rested her chin on her hands. She smiled as she cheekily said "Yeah I do know what I want. I want you to hang out with me tonight."
Jason chuckled before playfully hitting her on the top of her head with his pen "Sorry but that's not on the menu."
Samantha rubbed the top of her head with both of her hands as she acted as though she had been hit hard.
"You should be nice to me. Boys aren't supposed to hit girls. They should be nice to girls. Especially really pretty ones."
Jason clicked his pen "You're right Sammy. Let me know when one walks into the diner. I'll be sure to act super nice."
Samantha puffed up her cheeks before lightly punching Jason on the arm "There's one right here you blindy!"
Jason nodded his head "Sure sure Sammy. Whatever you say. But seriously though. Do you know what you want or do you still need a minute?"
Samantha sighed helplessly "I'll have a bacon double cheeseburger with no tomatoes but with extra pickles and a strawberry milkshake. Ooh! And a order of onion rings on the side."
Jason wrote down her order "Alright Sammy. So I have you down for a bacon double cheeseburger with no tomatoes, extra pickles, and a strawberry milkshake with a order of onion rings on the side. Anything else?"
Samantha shook her head "No that's it." Jason nodded his head "Your food should be out in five to ten minutes. Let me know if you need anything."

Jason walked away and dropped Samantha's order off to the kitchen. While she was waiting for her food Samantha pulled out her phone.
She was pretending to look at her social media page on her phone but she was back to stealing glances at Jason.
She watched as his medium length silky smooth black hair would occasionally whip around whenever he would hurriedly turn his head to a customer that was trying to get his attention.
'His hair looks so good when it's down and parted in the middle. He's been keeping his sides short while growing out the top.
It looks even better now that his hair is halfway down his face. But his hair looks good when it's tied up into a bun like how he does whenever he has a game.
Oh no! What should I do?! I don't know what version of Jaya is my favorite. Do I like the sporty man bun version better? Or do I like the gentle looking pretty boy version when he has his hair down?
I can't decide! What should I say if he asks me which hairstyle I like best? What if I pick the one that he doesn't really like?'
As Samantha was going through all the different and improbable scenarios she was thinking up in her mind she didn't even notice the time pass by.
Before she knew it she was startled back to reality when Jason placed a plate with her burger on it in front of her.
He then placed a plate of onion rings down and a tall glass cup filled with strawberry milkshake "Here's your burger, onion rings, and strawberry milkshake.
Anything else I can get you?" Samantha took a bite out her burger as soon as Jason had put the plate down.

After she cleared out the food that was in her mouth she answered "Could you get me a water also?"
Jason left for a moment and came back with a glass of water "Alright Sammy. Enjoy your food."
Jason had put the water down in front of Samantha and was about to walk away when he was stopped.
"Jaya. I was serious you know. I want to hang out tonight! It's not like you have any plans for tonight anyways."
Jason turned back around "And what were your plans?" Samantha smiled after hearing Jason ask that.
"I was going to go to the Mission Inn tonight with some of my friends. It's getting close to Christmas so they have the place covered with all of these beautiful lights and decorations.
I thought that it would be boring if it was just a bunch of girls so I thought that it would be more fun if you and the other guys from the team could go."
Jason thought about Samantha's offer 'She's kinda right. I didn't have any plans for tonight other than to get online with Kyle.
Maybe it would be nice to see the lights. This would be the first time that I would get a chance to see the Mission Inn's Christmas lights after jumping back into the past.
And plus, the guys might enjoy it. I think it would be good for them to take a chance to relax and take their mind off of things. Even if it's just for one night.'
After thinking it over for a bit Jason replied "I'm down with going. I have to ask my parents first to be sure but I'm pretty sure they'll be okay with it."
After giving his answer Jason turned around and walked away as he began to check up on all of his tables.
After making sure that Jason wouldn't be able to see her Samantha excitedly pumped her fist 'Booyah!
Three seconds left on the clock with the game on the line. Sammy goes hard to the left, squares up, and she shoots her shot!
It's good ladies and gentlemen! Sammy is the MVP hehehe.'
After talking about it with his dad Jason got permission to go to the Mission Inn tonight with Samantha and her friends.
Jason called up all of the guys on the team and told them about the plans. After hearing that Samantha would be bringing along her friends all of the guys were excited to go.
As Jason continued to help around the diner he couldn't help but look forward to tonight 'It's going to be a night out with Sammy and the boys. Should be fun.'

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe. But his quiet anonymous life of research, practice, and training was about to change. When the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

Twisted Skies
After his master's death, Thurain leaves his rural home behind and travels to Heliana, the cramped city founded on the scientific progress of cultivation. Under a fake name, he aims to enter the Elemental Path Sect, the place of his master's death, to find both his killers, and closure. However, surrounded by the strange and horrible wonders of Heliana and its mixture of heroes and villains, his master's death is not the only murder he may have to solve. --- First attempt at a xianxia novel from me. To shake things up from the usual formula, the setting is more steam-punk than you might expect, and there are elements of murder mystery mixed in with the standard formula (though I'm not entirely sure yet how far to go with it.) I wrote this a while ago for NaNoWriMo, only posting it now for various reasons. Enjoy. Also, cover is highly temporary. I'll probably replace it with something nicer eventually.
