《The Pig and the Frog》TEN
Advertisement
I'm full of excitement when I wake up this morning. I quickly go to my bathroom and put on a black dress and black converse. So fancy right? I laugh to myself as I brush my hair and throw it up in a ponytail.
I look in the mirror and shrug. Nothing can make the smile on my face go away. I hope at least. I rush down the hallway and grab a banana. As I go to leave, I run into Caleb.
"Oh sorry Caleb!" I apologize, and go to leave. I can see him scowling at me, and he rolls his eyes. I shrug, once again, and leave the house.
I make my way to school, casually eating a banana. I hope I can see him. I really really do! Maybe he will be here today? He didn't seem sick yesterday, so why would he not be there?
I get to the school, faster than yesterday, and try to keep a smile on my face. But my face drops after I walk inside. I forgot to take my medication! Oh geez Tris, why did I forget. Out of every single day, it had to be today!
I turn the corner to get to my locker, and I see the dark skinned boy, Uriah, standing there. I can see him smirk as I walk over to there.
"Um Uriah?" He blinks and I half smile. "Why are you smirking?" He shrugs and laughs it off. A confused look must be in my face right now.
"Oh...just watching all the guys stare at you, as if you were candy or a trophy." I blush and turn around. I see a few people turn away, but that might just be a coincidence.
"You don't mean that. You're lying. I know I'm not pretty, so no need to say that." His face falls, and I look down, not able to keep eye contact with him.

"What do you mean Tris!" I'm frightened my his high tone, and I take a step back. He seems to notice because he calms down a bit. "What do you mean you're ugly? I bet when Four sees you, he's gonna like you!" I smile a bit, but hide it. Or try to at least.
"And he doesn't like anyone!" He adds. I doubt that's true. He probably has dated every girl in this school. So I just nod. I turn back to my locker, and open it up.
Uriah's eyes glance into my locker before I have the chance to hide that picture. "Hey! He looks familiar!" My hands start shaking, and I don't know why. "I just can't put my tongue on it!"
I fake laugh a little and grab a book and close it. "Doubt it." I say, trying to cover up. "He lived in...um...Cali with me." He nods, but I'm not sure if he's completely convinced. I smile and walk away, hearing that the bell has rang.
And I'm still wondering where Tobias is.

Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own.
