《Senior Year》Picnic
Advertisement
After showering, you went back out in the living room. You grabbed the remote and searched for something to watch.
"Y/n, your food's ready." Kat called.
You got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. There was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Doritos on a plate. You and the girls sat at the island. After you guys were done eating, you all sat on the couch. You found a recorded episode of Dr. Phil on the DVR.
The episode was about a twenty year old girl who believes she's "the best dancer in the world" and she wants to drop of school to pursue her dream. Just as the tape piece was coming on, the boys were coming inside.
"Dexter, you have to see this girl on Dr. Phil." Kaya said to him.
"Why? Who's on there?" he asked.
"This girl believes she's the best dancer in the world." you said.
"Oh really?" Dexter questioned.
"Yeah. Don't worry, you can out-dance her any day." Kat said.
"I'm gonna shower. Don't watch that without me. I wanna see this." Dexter said.
All of the boys went upstairs. Since that you girls couldn't watch TV, you guys talked while waiting. The girls asked you about senior year and what you're excited about. Then, there were loud thumps coming down the stairs. It was Dexter. He sat himself next to you and said to hit play. Throughout the episode, it seems like she gets too confident, then that makes her get cocky.
The best thing happened. Dr. Phil invited Lady Gaga's choreographer to teach her an audition dance, then evaluated her "skills." He said that she complained too much and didn't have the preciseness of the dance. Then, he said, "The fact is even if she was the best dancer on the planet, with an ego and an attitude with that, no one would wanna work with her."

That is one of the most important things about the performing industry. People won't hire you if you're gonna be difficult to work with.
When the episode was over, you guys played Wii Sports. Rosa and Will boxed each other, and Rosa won. You and Thomas played tennis. All of you played bowling. Wes came back around 4:30pm. He's been helping set up the interview. He came in with a big plater of Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets, plates, and utensils. You guys changed clothes and got drinks. You all went the park in the neighborhood. There was a big grass area, which was the perfect picnic spot.
A big blanket was spread out and you all sat in a circle. The nuggets and utensils were in the middle. You got twelve nuggets and opened a Coke. Dexter took a video of all of you at the picnic. You and Thomas took a selfie together. After you guys were done eating, you fell back onto the grass. You rested your arms behind your head and stared at the clouds.
"Hey guys. I have something for us to do." Wes said.
You all sat up. He brought out some orange yarn.
"So, you guys are going to toss the yarn around, wrap it around your hand and say something that you've enjoyed about the Maze Runner journey so far. After everyone has gone, we'll break the yarn together." Wes explained.
It looked like a big, orange spider web in the middle of the circle. It was heartwarming to hear everyone's memories. You all pulled away and the yarn broke.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)
