《BE ALRIGHT》33

Once I finished all of my classes I texted Mr. Kang that I'll just go home with my schoolmate.
"Lisa! " I heard Somi said and when I turn around I was engulfed in a tight hug like she didn't see me for years. "I'm sorry... Your girlfriend might get jealous" she said stepping back a bit to give us space
"No... She's not the jealous type of person" I mean she's not into me so being jealous is an absolute foreign word for her
"Will Jisoo and Bambam need a ride as well? " she asked... That's so nice of her
"They're going separately since Bambam will be going somewhere for a family dinner while Jisoo will be picked up by her dad" I said explaining everything to her so she nodded and hooked her arm on mine. We walk towards the parking lot and I saw lots of guards around and one immediately took Somi's bag while the other one offered to get my bag so I just give it to him and they escort us to the car.
"So what do you want to be once you finished studying? " she asked looking towards me. This is so unusual since Jennie doesn't talk that much when we're in the car. I can't stop comparing her to Jennie but I think I'd still prefer Jennie out of everyone.
"I like dancing but I also like photography " I said "what about you?.. I mean I knew that you're already a model and your family has a company so... " I said
"I do want to model still but I also like to perform... Singing dancing stuff you know" she said sighing "and by the way, I didn't know you dance and do photography.. I hope I can see you dance sometimes" she said and I just smile as I'm still nervous when I'm dancing but they kept saying that I don't seem nervous at all

"By the way where's your house? " she asked since the driver's looking at the review mirror already
"Oh uh... I stay with Jennie. It's on a penthouse downtown" I said and she nodded telling her driver about it
"How long have you been dating... If you don't mind me asking" she said with the glint of interest on her eyes
"Well... A couple of months already" I said and smiled at her but I can't seem to pull off one true smile since I know behind all of those dating things are all lies
"She's lucky" she said before turning her head to look at the window.
After a couple of minutes, we arrived in front of the building. She first went out before I did.
"Isn't that your girlfriend? " she asked so I look ahead at the car parked right in front of us and saw Jennie walking out of the car and Kai walking out as well. I just nodded since I don't know what to tell her. Once Jennie looks ahead she saw me and the color of her face drained out like she saw a ghost. Somi then walks towards them to bow down to greet them both with a big smile on her face while both Kai and Jennie just nod at her.
"Hi, I'm Somi... I'm Lisa's friend" she says smiling... I don't know how can she be this cheerful all the time. I look away from Jennie's gaze when Somi approached me again.
"I'll go now" she said engulf me in a tight hug again as I look ahead seeing Jennie's eyes on us "see you tomorrow" she said before going inside the car while I look ahead seeing that Kai's still there so I walk inside to go to the elevator and up to the penthouse.

"Who is she? " Jennie asked when she entered the living room
"She's my schoolmate Jeon Somi" I said simply trying to avoid her gaze... I'd be lying if I'll say that what I saw downstairs doesn't hurt me. I mean seeing them together is enough to hurt me anyway.
"Why aren't you with Bambam or Jisoo instead? And Mr. Kang can pick you up " she says still standing
"Jisoo and Bambam have their plans and Somi told me that she'll give me a ride so it's really rude if I'll decline. She's also a kind girl anyway" I said, this time turning my head to look at her straight face
"Is she your new friend? " she asked
"..yeah, seems like it" I put my gaze back on the tv while Jennie just walks out and go towards her bedroom. I don't know why she's acting like that again when I didn't even question her going home together with Kai.
When we're having our dinner she's not speaking and she's just on her phone all the time probably texting Kai so I finish up eating immediately so I can just go upstairs.
I took a shower and went out drying up my hair when I received a call on face time so I declined it but a message pops up saying that it's Somi so I answered it and immediately saw Somi right in front of the camera
"Lisaaaa" she beamed making me chuckle
"We just parted a couple of hours ago... And how'd you get my number? " I asked putting the towel down on my shoulder
"I have ways Manoban " she says making me roll my eyes
"Somi" I heard a guy from the other line said
"Daddy!! Come here " she said waving her hand "she's Lisa the one I'm talking about" she said and showed her phone towards her dad so I greet her dad. It's funny that she's talking about me already when we just met yesterday
"Just call me Matthew, Lisa... It's nice meeting you" he said so I nod and let him talk to Somi for a couple of minutes before she put her attention back to me
"Lisa... I don't know why Jennie's with some other guy earlier but if you wanted to talk about it then don't hesitate. I mean I'll understand if you can't trust me yet since we just met but I promise you I'll keep the problem between us only" she said smiling "but Lisa... If you're wondering why I'm so comfortable with you already. Well, when you saved me yesterday from the swarm of paps it already means a lot to me even though you don't know me completely. So thank you again" she said smiling so I told her that it's all good.
We're in the middle of talking when my door opened without even knocking I saw Jennie standing there with her hands on her hips "can you tone it down? I can hear everything in my room and I'm trying to get some sleep. If you don't want to tone it down then stop that call" she said walking out making me confused on her sudden madness

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
