《Cupid's Match : CUPID'S MATCH BOOK 1》Chapter 15
Advertisement
The bell rings for next class.
Charlie doesn't seem too bothered about her new job as mentor – she has already skipped over to Cal who – incidentally - has been firing dirty looks at me throughout the lesson. He now looks bored as my friend tries to engage him in conversation.
I hurriedly pack away my things; wondering if I can just sneak off without having to deal with Cupid.
"I'll see you at lunch," I whisper to James as I sling my backpack over my shoulder.
"Not wanting to escort the 'love god' round school?" he replies drily, raising an eyebrow.
"You know me too well," I smirk before creeping towards the door.
I dodge swiftly around my classmates – trying not to catch our teacher's attention.
Finally I reach the exit and briefly look back.
I breathe in sharply.
Cupid, still sat casually at his desk, is watching me intensely; an amused expression across his face.
I shake my head to myself then stare back at him; giving an exaggerated shrug and my best faux innocent eyes. He grins wickedly, exposing bright white teeth, and just as I edge backwards out of the room he coughs loudly.
Ms Green suddenly looks up from her desk.
"Lila," she says sharply, "where do you think you're going? Make sure you take Cupid to his next lesson. English I believe."
She goes back to her work and he smiles innocently.
I see Cal frown.
"It's fine," he says shortly, narrowing his eyes at my supposed match. "I'm sure we can both find our own way around."
Cupid looks at Cal, surprised, and then looks right back at me again. He grins.
"Speak for yourself," he says, "I think I'd prefer Lila to take me."

He has a strange accent I notice – American but with a slight British twang. The way he says my name – as though it's some form of rare delicacy – gives me a slight shiver up my spine. His blue green eyes are twinkling violently.
I sigh as Cal throws me a sharp look.
"Come on then," I say, making my way out of the door.
I don't look back to see if he's following but I know that he is.
"So, Lila," he says as we step outside.
He pauses and I stop to look up at him.
There's something almost angelic about his features. The artificial light in the corridor – harsh and unflattering on everyone else- softly brushes the angles on his face and makes his fair skin look bright and glowing.
He smells warm, like earth and soap and boy. I can feel heat radiating from his body as he stands slightly closer to me than social convention expects.
It's intoxicating.
I remember what Cal said back in The Cupids Matchmaking Service.
He dabbled with human affairs, human hearts. Obsessed over women and made them obsess over him.
I shiver involuntarily.
"Your teacher seems to think you should give me everything I need," he says suggestively.
He grins.
His ocean eyes blaze into mine and I feel rooted to the spot; my stomach plummets.
Oh I'm in trouble all right.

A Clone of Arth
I'm just a simple guy and who has had a second life. Dragons fly across the sky, Monsters fill the lands, and I am a grand wizard. Or that's what did not happen. Reincarnation... Not what it is hyped up to be. Magic would have been awesome. No, the laws of nature still exist. Physics, Chemistry, and most hard sciences are still around to haunt me.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
