《Pinball Vance (Vance Hopper x Reader)》Part 18

I nodded and put my head in my hands, he came and sat beside me wrapping hid arm over my shoulder. "What happened?" he asked and I explained what happened. Robin looked at me "I'm so sorry that happened to you." I nodded and wiped my eyes, "it was just so embarrassing. Like it wasn't just Vance it was a whole squad of boys." They both nodded and we talked about it until lunch was over.
When the bell rang I went to my next lesson and sat 2 rows from the front. I glanced at the door and saw Vance walk in, our eyes met and he came and sat beside me. He reached over and whispered "I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes "give me a chance to explain myself meet me at the park." he whispered again. I shrugged and whispered "Maybe," then got on with my work.
When the final bell of the day rang I was in algebra. I was more than glad to hear the chimes and I got up taking my bag and leaving a long with everyone else in my class. I walked out of school and went home. When I walked home it was completely empty, I set my bag beside the door and went to the kitchen. I took a glass and filled it with tap water. I drank it all and then went up to my room on my way up I heard the phone ring so I answered the one in the hall upstairs. "Hello Y/N Blake here," I said. "Hey Y/N, it's Finney I'm just at Robins helping him with some homework but I'll be back later." he said. "Oh alright, I'll see you soon, bye,"
"Right see you then bye," he said and hung up the phone.

I went into my room and went to my record collection selecting one from U2. I set it up and as it played I lay on my bed and just cried. I cried until I physically couldn't, I cried until my eyes went dry and the sides of my stomach ached.
I cried for my mum, for how much I missed her, for the vile words people had said about her. I cried for the times my dad would hit me, for the times he hit Finney, for the times he was too drunk too remember who we were. I cried for everytime Finney had hugged me until my tears went away, I cried remembering how good a brother he was, I cried thinking if the Grabber took him. I cried for victims, victims of anyone, victims of the Grabber. I cried as I reflected on my dreams.
I cried for Vance fucking Hopper, I cried thinking how stupid it was to like him, how I would've given my life up for him to hold me, to kiss me, to like me or even love me. Those thoughts were childish but they rested in my mind. They rested reset and replayed in my mind until the front door opened and Finney was home..

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.

Rise of the Weakest Summoner
One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which had been raided and set ablaze by bandits. Within the burning rubble, a young woman found a baby, a sole survivor of the attack, and decided to take it with her and raise as her own. As she was leaving with the little child in her hands, two falling stars lit up the night sky, and she named the boy Asterios. Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution. Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday. What to expect:A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a lovely harem of Monster Girls (not too many). It's a quite light story.
