《The Academy 2》21
Advertisement
After an hour of snuggles, Ali and I decided to head downstairs. We walked into her kitchen to see Gemma sampling a variety of fruits. Apparently, Chico gave her exotic fruits from Brazil, so Gemma wanted to sample them all.
I was surprised that Zara wasn't around Gemma since those two were like glued at the hip. Ali plucked the jabuticaba from Gemma's hands. Gemma whined as Ali took a bite of it. Ali offered me some, but I declined. I then took the plate of food from Gemma and began eating it. Gemma crossed her arms and let out an aggravated huff. Ali and I smirked at each other.
"Ali we hav- what are you still doing here?" Tamsin glared at me. "I thought you would've scrammed with Ali's friends."
"Nah." Ali responded through bites. "She's staying for as long as she likes. "
"Ha! No she isn't!" Tamsin picked up some keys and threw it at Zara, who caught it as she entered the room. "We have preparations to do for our grandma's arrival." Tamsin began snapping at Gemma to finish up eating.
"But, we saw them like last week." Ali scrunched her brows in confusion. One look from Tamsin and her eyes widened and she groaned.
"I thought you loved your grandparents." I stated.
"Yes, the ones on my dad's side. Tamsin is talking about my mother's mom. She's even worse than Tamsin." Tamsin scoffed at the comment.
"Whatever. You need to get ready for the ballet show." Tamsin stated. "That means a driver needs to be fetched to drop Ali's special friend home." She glanced around. "MARCUS! Where are you?!" She stormed out the room, searching for the driver.
Ali apologized for the change in plans, but I told her it was fine since I actually had homework to do. Marcus scurried into the room and escorted me outside. I gave Ali a quick kiss and waved bye to her sisters before leaving.

The drive wasn't that long considering there wasn't much traffic. I thanked Marcus and entered my room. I went to do my homework, but got bored. I decided to call Rue and Logan to keep me company as I did my work.
Rue was talking about this girl she hooked up with at a party. She really liked her, but was so drunk that she forgot what she looked like. I asked if she even knew her name, but she said even that was a mystery. Logan then mentioned this girl he was "talking to." He wanted to make it official, but was really nervous. I demanded that I meet the mystery girl when I return to NC.
They asked when I would grace them with my presence in NC. I told them that in a few weeks we had a break. I also wasn't sure what I was doing for Spring Break, so that might be another opportunity to see them.
Rue wanted to know if Ali was treating me right or if she had to set my girlfriend straight. I proceeded to tell her that Ali was the farthest thing from straight. Logan laughed while Rue rolled her eyes.
I jumped off my bed and showed them my guinea pig, Sir Plumpy Wumpy ( I decided to modify his name). Logan wanted to know how on earth I managed to convince Ali to buy me that. I told him he had a name and wasn't a that. People can be so rude.
Rosé came in with Hailey, Cher, and Taylor. I introduced them to Rue and Logan. Rue, in typical Rue fashion, proceeded to shoot her shot with them. No matter how many times I told her they were straight, she continued flirting, hoping for a different response.

Cher remembered I went to France and wanted to know how everything went. I began relaying the events to them. They were freaking out that I partied with Floyd Mayweather. While retelling my account, I remembered meeting the elusive Skye.
I asked my friends if they knew anything about her. Well, they were shocked that she spoke to me. When Skye attended the school, she spoke to a few elite kids. She was even particular with which elites she socialized with. As one would expect, she was close to the McAllisters. She would always be around Ali.
Skye and Ali one day sort of fell out. They didn't hang together anymore, so Skye began hanging around Zara or Tamsin. No one knew the reason since those two were very private and didn't speak to many. Ali still only speaks to a select few.
They couldn't offer me anymore answers since they had questions of their own. They wanted to know if Alicia and Skye had dated? Why they broke up? Rue wanted to know what Skye looked like. Taylor googled a picture and showed Rue. Rue's jaw dropped at the picture, and then she nearly fainted when she found out Skye is a princess. Rue immediately wanted to know if she was single. I flashed Rue the finger and began speaking with Hailey.
We tried to do our fair share of stalking, but couldn't dig anything up. In the end, we decided to have a movie marathon.

Incursions
This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration. If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it? Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit. Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape. His only advantage? A power that seems nearly useless—a heads-up display. Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true. This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus the reader can and will know things the main character does not. Further, this means characters act on what they know, which is almost always less than the reader knows. Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why aren't 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're invited and very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.

But Yan Hao has no choice than to enter the Spirit Realms and fight, because the Phoenix Coin, which is located there, is the only thing which can save his ill sister.
