"Honey I'm home! I called as I swung the door open to our house.
As usual, there was no response but just the boys turning their heads and turning it back to the tv.
Marco let out an audible sigh and threw his bags by the door.
I made my way upstairs to my room and i almost fell rushing to Sophia Alice's room to ask her the details about her date.
I entered her room and the familiar layout , where she was lied out across her bed
I plopped down on her bed.
"Spill." I simply said.
She smiled and clapped her hands as she couldn't contain her excitement.
"He took me to sky diving! She said.
My mouth formed an 'O' shape.
"After that we got something to eat, and he bought me this," Sophia says reaching under her bed to grab something.
She pulls out a Sephora shopping bag, but pulls out a bear made out of white roses.
My jaw was on the floor.
"Oh my gosh Soph, how'd you get this past the boys? I asked.
"Well me having a Sephora bag is nothing out of the ordinary so they weren't too worried about it." She shrugged.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you! I gushed teaching over to hug her.
I always thought there was something going on between Sophia Alice and Chris, but before today, nothing was ever confirmed.
I was excited that Soph was ALREADY being treated like the queen she is.
We pulled away and she put it back under her bed.
"So...are you ever going to tell Marco? I ask.
Sophia Alice visibly cringes.
"As if I'd ever. He'd kill Chris, and then he'd kill me. Then the rest of our brothers will kill me." She says.

I nod my head in understanding. Our brothers have been pretty strict and firm about the whole 'no boys and dating' rule.
Especially Xander and Felix.
Not only has Sophia Alice broken those 2 rules, but the guy is her brothers best friend.
A recipe for disaster.
"Don't think I didn't see Benji's comment on that selfie," She says.
A laugh and hide my face in my hands.
A strange feeling went through my body and I couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"He was just being nice." I say.
Sophia Alice rolls her eyes. "All right, sure. When he has his tongue down your throat, I guess he's being nice then too." She says.
I jokingly push her shoulder.
"Girl shut up." I say.
"What? I'm just saying." She says.
"Mmhm." I say getting up.
I close the door to Sophia Alice's room and make my way into mine.
My room was less decorated compared to Sophia Alice's.
I didn't like too much color in my room even though my favorite color was pink.
I thought having a pink room was kinda tacky.
I threw my backpack on my bed and changed into more comfortable clothes.
I opened my laptop to watch Netflix when my phone dinged.
Claude: aye short stackz, wanna eat lunch with me tomorrow? I'll take you somewhere!
Me: sounds good. :)
I shut off my phone not waiting for a reply.
I began browsing through Netflix when I settled for Sierra Burgess is a loser.
I was almost done with the movie when I heard a knock on my door.
"Dinner time." Felix said.
I nodded my head and put my laptop to the side.
I made my way downstairs to see that our cook Rosa made us some chicken breast with Mac and cheese and greens.

I took a seat next to Soph, and Tomas, whereas Xander was across from me and next to him was Dylan and Marco.
After thanking Rosa for the food and letting her make her own plate to take home, we began eating.
"So I thought since were all together now would be a good time to tell you guys this." Xander began.
We all stopped eating and looked at Xander.
"Mom and dad won't be home for another couple of months." He said.
"Typical." I said lowly.
Mom and dad were always on business trips so it wasn't anything new. I really don't understand why Lawyers are needed so much over seas.
"Dad says the case in Europe is getting bad, so we're going to have to be extra careful not to throw anything away , and make sure dads office is untouched." Xander says slowly looking at everyone but Sophia Alice and I.
What does that have to do with anything?
I just nod my head while the boys are staring intently at each other.
Weirdos.

Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
