《This Girl I Met》31
Advertisement
"I felt so humiliated" I cry out, letting my head rely on Allie's shoulders. Tobin is here too, squeezing my hand when she feels I am about to cry again. Alex, on the other hand, just has one of her arms wrapped around my shoulders, holding me tight, while my sister is just holding me too. "I know it's not Drew's fault, because he'd never have done that to me if he knew I was in love with the girl in question... Damn it !"
Alex frowns. "What are you gonna do now ?" she asks, trying to talk with a soft tone because she knows I am about to stab someone in the heart.
"I don't know" I mutter, looking down as I am shaking my head in disbelief. All I am thinking right now is that I shouldn't have kissed her. Keeping it in my dreams, so it wouldn't have hurt like that. "I wish I'd never have to cross her path again" I add, sighing.
"I can go kick their asses if you want" Tobin proposes.
"No !" I say, and she looks disappointed. I can totally imagine her and Christen demolishing Drew. "Please, it's not his fault. He..."
"Knows" Allie interrupts me.
I look at her, straightening a little bit. What does she mean he knows ? Knows what ? That he fucked up big time without knowing why ?
"What ?"
Allie blushes. "I... kinda showed to his door after you fell asleep yesterday night..." she starts, and when she sees the death glare I am giving her, she immediately puts her hands up in the air and says : "What ? I saw you cry all night, did you really think I would've shut my mouth up ? Let's be real, he deserved to be yelled at."

"Allie !" I exclaim, raising my eyebrows.
The blonde shrugs. "What ? He knows I hate when somebody hurt my sister." she says in an innocent voice. "Besides, he didn't seem upset. He was sad, actually."
"Sad ?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.
"Yep" she says. "He didn't know you were in love with his girlfriend. So, it's kind of a bummer. I don't know if he will break up with her though..."
"I don't want him to" I sadly let out. I totally do. The three friends are looking at me in disbelief, so I go on : "Emily is dating him because she is into guys. I don't stand a chance anyway, so if they're happy like that..."
"Bullshit" Alex lets out.
"Lex, don't" Allie orders, seeing that her words are pissing me off.
"Sorry" she says, but doesn't seem sorry at all. After a few second of silence, she can't help but say ; "It's just that you deserve to be happy Linds, and of this Sonnett girl is making you happy, then you shouldn't let go like that !"
"Alex, she loves Drew, not me." I grumpily say.
In the same moment, there is a knock on the door. When Ashlyn comes in, she's not alone.
Drew.
The older girls exchange a long look, before all agreeing that they should go to the library to study. So they awkwardly left the house, and when walking near Drew, Tobin throws him a death glare, but doesn't say anything. I sigh.
When we're left on our own, he sits down, probably thinking that it would make me feel better. He looks down, as I am trying to hide my red eyes and dark circles under them. But he can clearly see them. He's not dumb : he knows I am hurt, and upset.

He frowns. "Lindsey, I come here in peace" he lets out, looking at his feet. His voice is clear and quite confident. "You are my best friend. Always has been, and always will be. Why didn't you tell me you were... Well, into girls ?"
I shake my head. In the beginning, I didn't want to tell him anything at all about Emily. But the words just somehow get through my lips :
"I'm not into girls" I start.
"But I thought-"
"Only into Emily" I go on, ignoring him. "Maybe I should've told you, I know that. But you should have told me too ! I mean, you obviously have a crush on her, she's your goddamn girlfriend!"
"Yeah, about that..." He starts, frowning. "I love her. I really do. But our friendship is more important to me. If having her means I can't have you, I'd rather break up with her, Lindsey. You're my sister, and I don't-"
I open my eyes widely. "No, no, it's okay. I guess she's into you too. I'll be okay."
"Will you ?" He asks, not sure.
"Yeah. Just don't kiss her in front of me okay ?"
"I love you dumbass" he lets out, relieved.
With that said, he hugs me tight. I hope I made the right decision.
**
I've been studying really hard for three hours now, because I am late with some reading I had to do. Since I seemed to do everything but studying in my room, I decided to come in the schools library.
When I got up to look for a book, I abruptly bump into a person. When our eyes meet, I immediately feel like I've known the girl. She's taller than I am (that's hard to do) and her eyes are grey and sarcastic. I raise my eyebrow.
Holy crap I think I've actually seen her before. Her long blonde hair are familiar.
She smirks. "Hey, Lindsey. I see you can't stop bumping into me".
"Shit, Dagny, you scared the crap outta me" I let out, quite pissed.
Dagny Brynjardottir is one of the star player of our rival team, and I've tackled her quite a lot. She's always been beautiful and seemed very funny, but the only conversations we had was flirt.
She raises her eyebrow.
"So, still angry at me, Long ?" She asks in her strong Icelandic accent. "I mean, last time we saw each other, you seemed pretty upset that I scored the winning goal when you were marking me."
"What are you doing here anyway ?" I ask, ignoring her comments.
She laughs. "I was looking for you, actually. I need help."
"Help ?" I repeat, already rolling my eyes. "You could've just sent me a text."
"I know" she says in a calm tone. This girl really can't be disturbed in any way. "It's just that I wanted to see you."
"What can I help you with ?" I ask, still ignoring the flirting.
Not that I don't find her attractive or something (because I totally do), it's just that I don't want her to think she's that great.
That makes her laugh. She gets closer to me, and smirks.
"I'll see you around, Lindsey." She then sexily whispers, before turning her back on me and go away.
I shake my head.

Champions of the Boundary
In reality, there exists a realm between reality and fantasy, where all maner of magical creatures exist, and the warriors summoned as they died in reality fight against the forces of a powerful being known only as the Shadow of Life. Here, they live in a world with experience and Levels, Classes and Skills, and they fight against monsters, training for years just to achieve a Level that can allow them to make a small difference. Yet even with this training, it is not enough. The Crystal Adventurers are forced to retreat further and further every year as the Shadow of Life's monsters grow stronger and more numerous, destroying cities at an increasing rate. If the city of Maelnor falls, then it will be less than a year before nearly all of the Crystal Adventurers are wiped out, both those brought to the realm upon death, and those born and raised there. Legends tell of a prophecy that describes a team led by the legendary child of the prophecy, a child whose destiny is not to end the Shadow of Life, but to act as a harbinger, one whose very existence will turn the tides of war, one who must meet three seemingly impossible or currently unheard of criteria before the tides truly change. This is the tale of Team Noruva, which consists of a quiet, yet wise healer, a silent, but thoughtful rogue, a knight with an iron will, a wolf beastborn who gained access to the System, and their leader, who ignores the impossible and does whatever he wants, because why the hell not? This is the tale of their adventures and daily lives, their ups and downs, their struggles, successes, and losses. **REGARDING PoV'S*** There will be 5 total PoV's in this story. However, four of them will take several dozen chapters (beginning Chapter 73) to start happening, with the first two "Books" focusing just on Zack, which is why there's the Multiple PoV's tag on here, even though only one's around at first.

Delve
Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside. None of those are right to me. For me, to delve is to seek the truth. Delving into that dark abyss and coming back with answers. To leave that safe refuge and suffer the pain of the outside just because it is real. This is the story of me delving deep into the truths of the universe. Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well. Jack is a regular citizen of modern society: he works on an office, uses public transport every day, receives a meager salary, and drowns his frustrations with entertainment and alcohol. Maybe, the only thing that sets him apart from many others, is his unique outlook on life. Despite feeling an unfillable void in his soul and suffering from deep depression, he still sees as his duty to be a functional, exemplary member of society. All in order to prove his life-goal point: no matter how good you are, life is still shit. This point-of-view, however, will be challenged by circumstances as a mysterious encounter with a weirdly dressed man takes him to a strange and dark cave. In this place, he will have to fight for his life against fantastical creatures from fiction, and more importantly, get face to face with his own nature. In doing so, he will uncover secrets about the cave that will change both him and all he ever thought to be true.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
