"Beatrice?"
I gasp and turn around. All bad thoughts leave my head. Blue eyes. Those blue eyes! The ones I've been looking for. My mouth drops.
"Tobias?" I say, in shock. I run to him and fling myself into his arms. "Oh Toby! I haven't seen you in so long. I missed you so much!"
He wraps his strong arms around me, and I bury my head into his chest. "You too Beatrice." I breath in his scent. I missed him so much. "And my name is Four by the way."
I look up to him in confusion for a moment. A nick name I guess. I half smile and say, "My name's Tris now, anyways." He smiles and laughs. I take a step back from him.
"Gosh Tris, I haven't seen you in so long!" He frowns a bit, and I wonder why. I nod my head in agreement. "No you don't understand, anytime someone new came to town, I'd try to find you." I see he immediately regrets saying this, because his ears turn to a pink and he scratches his neck. Old habits stay with you.
I gasp again, remembering what Uriah said this morning. "So, Four," I start, testing out the nick name, "this kid named Uriah-I think- said we have all our classes together!"
I see his eyes light up for a moment, and he immediately covers it with a mask. I wonder why? "That's cool." I frown.
"Good seeing you, Four." I say turning away, and starting to walk. I let out a breath I didn't k ow I was holding.
"Tris Wait!" I smile and hide it as I turn around. I raise an eyebrow.
"Yes?" I say, still hiding that damn smile. He blinks for a few seconds, as if he's thinking what to say.
"You can call me Tobias. Only when it's us. It's nice to hear my name again." I smile. A real, genuine smile. Then I nod.
I turn and walk away, that smile still on my face. And I see that this is the happiest I have been in years.
And realization hits me.
I still like Tobias Eaton.
But I doubt he likes me back.

Agenda of the Villainess
As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life, however, and certainly not memories that were somehow inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. This novel is a steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, heavily inspired by the late Victorian era of England and with a system of magic based around floweral circuitry. If that sounds like your cup of tea, why not give it a shot? Updates on Thursday every week.

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
