《Senior Year (Jeid)》Chapter 2

Chapter 2
[JJ POV]
It's Monday again and I found myself dreading school.
"Let me remind you all, semester grades are due in 2 weeks. If you need to catch up on any work, hand in late assignments or anything, I suggest you do that soon," the teacher announced as class began.
Ugh, I'm so screwed. I put my head down in an attempt to hide away from my responsibilities. I was so behind on work, yet I couldn't seem to get myself to catch up. And when I was trying to work I could barely do it because I hadn't studied enough. It's not that I was super lazy and didn't care about school, I did care about my future. Somewhat. But it's just that everytime I sat down to try and work, my mind either went somewhere else leaving me in no condition to study, or it's like my brain refused to think. My mind remained blank. I had tried, but I felt like I physically couldn't sometimes. It's hard to explain.
Class finally ended and I headed towards the lockers with Emily. As usual, Derek was there with some kind of plan though this time he was with Spencer. "Hey, wanna come over and hang out for a bit?" Emily always wanted to and usually I did, but the teachers 'reminder' sorta scared me a little bit. I really need to graduate and failing senior year is not going to help me at all.
"Maybe not today, I really need to catch up on work, also study," I sigh.
"Oh hey Reid, you're a genius, why don't you help JJ out. Then you can quickly come back and hang out," Morgan said looking back at me.
I looked at the skinny guy standing next to Derek. I've known Spencer has had a crush on me since the 8th grade. He's such a sweet boy, he really is, I just didn't really think he was my type.

I saw his face light up at Derek's suggestion but I said no. I didn't want to lead him on then have the additional stress of rejecting him again.
I said goodbye to the group and started to walk home feeling slightly overwhelmed.
[Spencer POV]
I hit him again, "Why'd you have to go and say that in front of her?"
"What? Reid I was trying to do you a favour. Don't worry by the end of the week if she isn't caught up I'm sure she'll ask for your help, just you wait kid," Derek said.
"There are quite a few people in our year that find school quite easy. I may be a genius but this is high school academics, quite a few people would be considered smart and she could ask any one of them."
"Yeah, but none are as pretty as you," he flicked my hair and I swatted his hand away.
My house was only a few blocks away so I started walking home while Derek walked over to the where he but his bike. I'm still a bit upset that JJ rejected my help but it didn't come as a surprise and I know not to become too bothered by it.

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.

The Choice of Twilight
Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won't be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty's guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again. This story is perfect for you if you are a fan of Coraline and Kingdom Hearts, both of those stories greatly inspired this one. I have recently added the Isekai tag after being unsure if it counts or not. I've decided it fits the description of what it is but not the current trends in the genre. If you go in with Coraline in mind I think you will have a better idea of the kind of Isekai this is. And I've also added the Slice of Life tag, that is only for the first five or six chapters though, then Ty enters the dream world and it pretty quickly becoms a progression fantasy, a mix of more traditional fairy tale like trappings alongside more anime action and acquisition of slowly increasing powers. With all that out of the way, please enjoy! Updates every Tuesday and Thursday! What time of day? It's a mystery! (For now)
