tagged by @dheiress to post the first line of my last 20 fics (thank you! <3)

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 other authors!

aight my lads here we go, there’s going to be a few unpublished wips and other piece of dubious writing in here bc i doubt i have 20 stories but anyway, here we go (this is very long! press j to skip or just get that dash scrollin bc this might take a while :// ) in very rough chronological order going backwards, starting with the published work:

1. so i ran to the river (tma grifters au, unpublished yet but will be soon!): The sunlight feels different on a face fresh out of prison, and it feels even better to Jonathan Sims now that he’s truly home.

2. crowned by an overture bold and beyond (tma pretentious college au, based loosely on the secret history):  It was a cool, rainy day in late March when I first approached the Magnus Institute--one of those days that served as a reminder that the London spring, that fragile creature, was still all too vulnerable to the occasional strike from the claws of winter.

3. we should ride this wave to shore (tma chatfic where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts): Friday, 3:14 P.M. “archives research & statement envestigation” Timothy Stoker renamed the group “drinks drinks drinks” Timothy Stoker changed Sasha James’s nickname to saucy sash Timothy Stoker changed Martin Blackwood’s nickname to martini kart Timothy Stoker changed his nickname to stonked stonked: so how bout it lads saucy sash: oh god.

4. i am the maker of rules (dealing with fools) (tma chatfic, an elias-and-peter-focused accompaniment to wsrtwts): Monday, 7:39 P.M. Elias Bouchard to Peter Lukas Elias Bouchard: Peter, I need to talk to you. Elias Bouchard: I’ve had the most infuriating day at work.

5. An Optimistic Tragedy (good omens orchestra au that i swear to god i’ll finish one day): Three years ago Eve shifted in her chair, her mind clearly on things other than Milhaud and the music in front of her.

6. The Spaces Between the Stars (the Beast of a dw fic that i can’t even begin to describe; a mate and i have been working on this since 2015 and it’s a sprawling mass of writing that encompasses Many google docs--what’s on ao3 atm is a very small percentage of it,,,,): The Doctor clutched the TARDIS railing as if somehow, it could take the pain away.

7. Carol of the Bells (a chrismas chatfic companion to aot! i’ve always been a sucker for a chatfic but oof looking back on this one my formatting style sure has changed): [Friday December 13, 1:31am] Anthony Crowley to Angelface: u up? ;)

8. An Exploration into The Nature of Human Beings, sub. Homo Sapiens: A Research Paper by Milton Jones (british comedy rpf. this is my oldest piece on ao3 and it shows, but there’s a special place in my heart for this dorky lil fic about an alien researcher making a place for himself in british comedy. fun fact! i actually added the final three sentences to this a couple of days ago, and will post it when i do my next fic update): <<I knew you’d be down here, as per usual. Do you never stop working?>>

and now for the stuff that i like but hasn’t yet/will never/one day, if i get my act together, might be posted to ao3... please ask me about these bc i love them, even though i’ll probably never post them :)

9. untitled mitchell spy comedy (a show that @monimolimnion​ and i want to pitch to the bbc in which david mitchell and victoria coren mitchell are married spies who work for MI5 and MI6 respectively, and most of britcom pops up in one place or another. it’s nothing more than a Lot of planning and a few snippets, but i love returning to this doc): [David is sitting at his desk, shaking his head at an open file.] David: They’re taking the piss. That’s what they’re doing, they’re taking the piss.

10. In the Demonic Style (a good omens au of @teashoesandhair’s glorious smooching contest piece, which is the first piece of fiction writing in the reblog chain. i’ve promised a chapter 2 to this, which i’m halfway through, and feel incredibly guilty for not finishing. still, my quarter-year’s resolution is to finish something old whenever i post something new, so maybe it’ll get done soon!): “It’s the end of the world” was not a good statement with which to start one’s morning in any circumstances, but the angel Bryndael was in the middle of cataloguing his newest shipment of tea samples when said statement reached his ears, and he didn’t much appreciate being disturbed.

11. magpie (good omens canon-mostly-compliant fic based around the song magpie by the unthanks/the magpie folk song/nursery rhyme): Wednesday (approximately 11 years before the end of the world) From a bird’s-eye view, St James’s Park was beautiful at this time of year.

12. untitled ficlet for tales of dwrwedd (a present for my writing buddy! the link is to her fic, i just wrote a bit of her two witcherverse ocs being soft as hell): The two women seated by the hearth didn't look old, either of them. But there was something about the pair--in their movements, or their mannerisms--that suggested an age far beyond what their unlined faces would suggest.

13: Tempo d’Attacco (an original bit of Light Crime a la midsomer murders, set in a university music department that is naturally a thinly-veiled copy of my own, hence why it will never ever be posted anywhere. i wrote this for my supervisor at the end of honours (her character is the sleuth) :P ) Dr Marisa Tan didn’t exactly start her morning well, on the day that everything seemed to upend itself.

patterns...... i’m not seeing that many, tbh? idk if i could call this in media res, but there’s certainly a good bit of plot starting without heaps of setup. 

my favourite? hmmmmmm i’d say my favourites would be crowned by an overture bold and beyond, and in the demonic style. i gotta say, going back to revisit a lot of my older writing has been nice! time and distance have been v kind :)

i’m hella bad at tagging things so if you see this and want to share your own writing please go ahead! i’m very shy when it comes to Fandom Interaction (tm) so i don’t feel comfortable launching myself into people’s notes (i loved this tho! i just need other people to make the first move lol), however i will give a specific shoutout to @monimolimnion whose writing i adore and who needs to do this!

Words: 3k

A/N: This was actually very fun to write and it was a real help. I’m still wondering if I should do a part 2 of this, I’ll you guys decide. And again, many thanks to @shart-xing !! I absolutely adore you! Thank you for being there for me ♡ And sorry if there are any mistakes in spelling, I just wanted to get this finished :)

I had known even as a child that I wasn’t some ordinary child. I could read other people’s mind and use a form of communication inside their mind. A normal child wouldn’t be able to do that, would it? I would always lay awake at night, being scared to close my eyes and sleep. I always felt as if something or rather someone was watching. I’ve only caught a glimpse of this ‘thing’ once. I think I was about the age of 5. It was a tall looking man. He was about 6’3 tall and he was wearing this weird hat. It looked old and it was ripped up. His clothes were old and pretty saggy. They looking like they hadn’t been washed in ages and the same with him. His face was always a blur. The only thing you would be able to see was his eyes. His eyes were shining with this bright blue color with a hint of white. It always scared me. I didn’t know why all of this would happen me. I kept telling myself to just be normal like the other kids. I didn’t understand why I was like this and why I was the only one. I thought I was the only one like this, that was my thought until I meet Dan.

Danny Torrance. I was about 14 when I meet him for the first time. I sat in a library, trying to calm myself down from all the mean comments I had read and heard. I kept telling myself in my mind to just be normal until I heard him talk. Not out loud but inside my head.

“Stop”

My eyes went wide. I thought it was him. I started to panic. I looked all around, making people look at me as if I was crazy. Then I heard it again.

“Relax, it’s not who you think it is. I’m Dan. I’m the boy on your left”

I looked over to my left and saw a boy waving at me. With a smile on his lips as he walked over to me. I counter control my thoughts. After all these years, I wasn’t alone. I wasn’t the only one with this ‘shine’. He sat down next to me and reached out for my hand. I shook his hand as he introduced himself.

“I’m Dan, Dan Torrance. You’re Y/N right?” My eyes got wide. How did he know my name? I’ve never met him before so how could he know my name? “Don’t worry Y/N.” “How do you know my name?” He let out a chuckle. “Lucky guess?” His eyes were so soft. No fear were in them. “So you’re also different?” I leant in and whispered to him. “I’ve always called it the shining” Hw whispered back with a smile. He handed me a box. “What’s this? Other then that it’s clearly a fancy box” Dan let out a laugh. “A friend of mine told me to create a box like that in my mind to trap all those monsters who would haunt me. I guess you’ve had trouble with someone yourself?” I nodded. “But how to I trap someone in my mind?” I placed the box down onto the table as I leant back in my chair. “I know it’s sounds difficult but trust me. It will save you so many tears and nightmares. Whenever your little ‘friend’ decides to visit, just imagine you’re opening the box in your mind and BAM! They will be locked up in your head until you decide to let them out.”

This idea he gave me was rather good. I mean it wouldn’t bother to try, would it? So that was what I did. Later that night I had the box Dan gave me on my nightstand and the next thing I knew the man was standing at the end of my bed, smiling wickedly. I gave him a smile as I spoke, “hope you enjoy yourself” He croaked his head to the side as I closed my eyes and opened the box inside my head, hearing a scream before the box closed itself. I opened my eyes and he was gone. He was no longer at the of my bed. It worked. I couldn’t believe it. Dan was right. I couldn’t wait to tell him. I owed him so much.

I woke up by my mother yelling at the end of the stairs. “Y/N! Get up! It’s time for school!” For the first time in so long, I’ve gotten a good nights sleep and it was all thanks to Dan. I got up and got dressed after I had taken a shower. I walked down the stairs, into the kitchen with a smile on my face as I greeted my parents. “Aren’t you looking happy for once?” My father laughed as he took a sip of his coffee. “Just had a good night sleep. That’s all” I sat down next to him as I started eating.

I soon left for school. At lunch I saw Dan sitting alone. I walked over to him and sat down. “Hello my hero” He let out a chuckle. “Your hero?” I nodded. “Your idea with the box? It worked. He’s really gone” He took ahold of my hand as he leant in. “Such monsters aren’t always gone. They will always come back in some way. This is just a way to slow that process down.” He smiled at me. At this moment everything seemed perfect. But that didn’t last long. Don’t they always say that when you’re finally happy something come in the way and everything goes down the drain again? Well, it certainly did.

My mother grew sick and the sooner the later she passed away. My father started drinking and started blaming it all on me. He started beating me and everything that comes with that package. All of this started 10 years ago.

~~~

Here we are. 2019. I’m now 10 years older. And I had learned to live with my father, despite him being and alcoholic and abusive. Me and Dan were still very good friends but sadly Danny had gotten into the same problem as my father but he had it from his. But despite that, I didn’t leave his side. I still owed him so much after he practically saved my life all those years ago.

I had made a new ‘friend’ or whatever you would call it. I worked as a waitress at a small café here in town. For a short time period this woman would come in every morning and order the same thing. A grande late. I didn’t know her name exactly so I just called her ‘The Pretty Lady In The Hat’. She was rather kind towards me. Always tipping me and completing me. Looking at me with sorrow sometimes as if she knew what had happened to me. Sometimes I wondered if she was like me and Dan, if she could read my mind.

“Well, hi there Y/N!” I jumped a bit before turning around. I was meet with that very woman. Her smile shining. But how did she know my name? “It’s on your shirt, my dear” She pointed to the name tag that was on my shirt. Now I understood how she knew m- hold up. How did she know that I asked that? Did I say it out loud? “Oh no sweetie. You didn’t.” My eyes went wide. Her smile turning into a grin. “You-I, how?” She signaled me to follow her. We sat down at a table. “My sweet. You are a special one aren’t you?” I couldn’t help but feel my cheeks grow hot. “I’m no where near special miss.” I looked down at my fidgeting hands. I heard her pull her chair closer to me as she pulled my chin up with her finger. “Don’t say that. Of course you are! You’re just like me, aren’t you?” I didn’t say anything out loud.

( You mean you can hear me? )

She nodded as she gave me a smile. “But I thought me and Dan were the only ones. Hell, I thought I was alone” Her smile dropped as she took ahold of my hands. “Poor sweet thing. You are no near from being alone. You have me! And my very good friends are just like us but with different abilities. You’re definitely not the only one, however you might be the prettiest” She was cheeky which made me blush again. “You have a thing for blushing don’t you, my dear?” I let out a chuckle. “If you don’t mind me asking. What’s your name?” I looked up at her. I realized how close she actually were to my face. “My name is Rose, Rose The Hat.” She tipped down her hat. I noticed all the details that was put into her hat. I looked like an old magicians hat. “It’s a nice hat Rose” I touched the leather of her hat. “Thank you, my sweet” I looked behind Rose where a clock was hanging on the wall. “Shit! Fuck!” I got up and accidentally spilled Rose’s coffee all over her. “Oh shit! I’m so sorry!” She laughed it off as she stood up and took ahold of my shoulders. “Don’t worry, my dear. I’ll see you tomorrow morning” She leant in and kissed my cheek as she walked out the door. I was left standing by the table with red cheeks and my hand touching where she had kissed my cheek.

But the weird thing is, she didn’t come the next mornin. In fact, I never saw her again. I had told Dan about Rose and he had told me to stay away from her. I couldn’t understand why. She had been so nice to me. Dan had been in rehab and had gotten much better. Despite the fact that I didn’t just wanna forget about Rose I followed Dan’s advice. I had finally earned enough money and moved away from my father with quick pace. I moved to the city where Dan was living. I moved into a nice apartment with one bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. A cozy little apartment. Not too much and not too little.

~~~

I opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind me. As I turned around I saw a figure sitting on my couch. “Well, hi there!” My eyes went wide as I realized who it was. After I had moved here Dan had told me about everything he knew about Rose. What Abra had told him, what she saw. My once lovely and nice ‘friend’ had turned into someone I feared deeply. And how the hell did she find me? “Oh it was quite easy” Forgot that. “Could you stop?!” She was taken aback. “My, haven’t you outgrown yourself” She got up from the couch and walked closer to me. Trapping me in between the wall and herself. “Why are you here Rose” My was trembling already. “Aren’t you happy to see me?” She pouted her lips as she raised both her hands, placing them on either side of my head. Her nose was barely touching mine.

“I know who you are. What you’ve done” Her smile only turned into a grin. “Look at you. All smart and intelligent. Then tell me Y/N. What is it I do” She got even closer, until her lips ghosted over my own. “You kill people, eat children” Her face expression went blank. Her eyes went from the warm and the color blue/grey eyes to completely dark. Her left hand went to my throat. Squeezing slightly. “And why would you think that?” I let out a snort. “Don’t lie! I’ve had enough of lies! My whole life has been one big lie! Just tell me the god damn truth!” She let go of my throat as she walked back over to the couch and sat down, patting the space next to her. “Sit” I slowly walked over and sat down, keeping my distance from her.

“I’m just like you Y/N, but slightly more powerful. I know things that you don’t. I could show you so many things, if only you would let me. And shit in what others say. What matters is what you think Y/N. But what you should know is that I would never hurt you, as I told you months ago. You’re a special little one.” Her hand caressed my cheek. Despite what Dan had told me I couldn’t help but relax at her touch. “You shouldn’t believe in everything everyone says. They aren’t always right, you know? You and this ‘Dan’ are slightly different when it comes to your shine. Yours is more powerful, and if you let me help you it could be even stronger. You just have to trust me, and you do trust me?” I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know how to react to anything.

“I-I don’t know” She moved closer to me. Taking ahold of my hand as she looked at me. “You don’t want a family again?” I lifted my head and looked her in the eyes. Did she know? How could she know? Both her hands grabbed my cheeks as my eyes started to tear up. “So much terror, so much fear” She knew. She knew what I had been trying to hide for so many years. Something I was ashamed of. She pulled me into a hug. “I’m here sweetheart. Just let it out, I’m right here and I’ll never leave you” My grip around her only got tighter. She kissed my cheek as she broke apart.

“Join me and you’ll have a family again. A family that loves you for who you are and not for who the world wants you to me. You can be exactly who you want and no will ever hurt you again.” She leant her forehead against mine as she closed her eyes. “Do you trust me?” I nodded my head slowly and soon I felt my whole body go limp. “Sleep well, my dear” Was the last I heard until everything went black.

~~~

SLAM! I sat up as my eyes slowly opened. My sight was not my living room. It looked like some RV. A tv hanging on the wall as the walls were filled with different things. “Well, hi there sleepyhead! You’ve been out for quite some time” I turned to my left as I saw Rose standing by the door, holding a cup of tea. “You want a cup of tea?” I nodded m head slowly. I felt completely drained. Like I hadn’t eaten in years. It was so hard to lift any part of my body. Rose walked over to where I was sitting, which I guess was her bed. She handed me the cup of tea as I stood up. “What did you do to me? And where exactly are we?” My words slurred. “You’re home, my dear. And what I did doesn’t matter now. Drink your tea.” I took a zip as the door opened and in walked a man. A man who reminded me so much of the man who had haunted me as a child. I dropped my cup of tea as my eyes went wide. The cup shattering on the floor as Rose took ahold of my shoulders as she shouted at the man to get out. I couldn’t move. I thought I had him locked up.

“Y/N? Sweetie?! Look at me” She grabbed my chin and pulled it towards her as she looked me int he eyes. My eyes were filled with another set of tears. “I-I, it was him” She looked confused at me. “It was who sweetheart?” My body started shaking. “The monster at the end of my bed” I though I had him locked up in the box Dan had given me. “What monster Y/N?” I looked down as tears trilled down my cheeks. “Who would haunt me” Her eyes were soon filled with raw anger. She pulled me close and rocked me back and forth. “I though it worked. I thought Dan’s box worked” She patted my head as she whispered sweet things into my ear. “What did I tell you before we got here. Don’t believe in everything people say”

After some time when I had calmed down Rose had walked out of the RV to talk to the man who had haunted me for my whole childhood. While Rose was away I took time to explore her RV. It looked so cozy, and there was even a bathtub at the other end of the RV. A little kitchen as well. I’ve a,ways liked the idea of living like this. All the posts on Pinterest. A real dream. The door opened with force as it closed the same way. I felt arms sneak around my waist. I started to tense up when I felt the person kiss behind my ear. “Relax. It’s just me sweetie” I let out a sigh in relief as I let my shoulders drop. I laid my head on her shoulder. “Rose, I wanna have a family again” She hummed in my ear as she started to sway both our bodies to the music that was playing quietly in the background.

“I wanna join you” I felt her freeze. She turned me around and looked me dead in the eye. “You sure?” I nodded my head which earned a smile from Rose. “I’m proud of you, my dear” She leant in kissed my nose, my cheek and then my lips. Her hands going around my waist, pulling me closer as the kiss grew more heated. Her kisses flowed down my neck as I felt her scratch my skin under my shirt. “Rose, you’re leaving marks” I heard her let out a laugh.

“Well of course I’m marking you. You’re mine”

11/11/11 Tag Game (again!)

aaaand i’ve also been tagged by @fluffythewritingplant​ for a different set of questions!!! you have a lot of questions huh HAHA but they sound fun so thanks for tagging me in this! <3 1. What is your favorite part of writing? characters! characters interacting!! characters doing things! character dialogues!! characters characters characters! 2. Do you prefer reading or writing? HA i haven’t read a novel in a while. but yea i like them both but... yknow. how bout reading my own writing. i’m narcissistic like that  3. How many people have read your stuff? since the next question is specifically about irl, i’m assuming this is about online??? well, i guess all of yall on tumblr have seen my snippets and excerpts right heh (blatant advertising here) (also in case yall don’t know how i differentiate them, snippets are drabbles that i write outside of my main wip and excerpts come directly from the wip draft itself heh) so yea, all of you!! <3 (i guess?????) 4. How many people irl have read your stuff? kinda mentioned this in my previous 11/11/11 tag, but not much. if it’s school stuff then yea, but if it’s my own personal stuff, not really. maybe like a handful in the past, but right now in the present? no one has read my current wip as of yet. 5. Are there any books or movies that inspired your writing? hmmMMMm. in general i guess studio ghibli (in how they make the mundane little everyday stuff magical, i love that), percy jackson (humour lol), mmmm... i actually really don’t know. i’ve been writing for a long time, so i think everything probably just accumulated and it just culminates in this mess that i call my own brand of writing. my friends (who have read my work in the past) say that i actually have a style -- i’m not sure how true that is HAHA but that’s good to know, but i really have no idea what in particular inspired it. 6. How many WIPs do you have? One (or is it two??? but they are of the same... universe-thing.) OKAY like i’ve finished my first draft of my main novel called like all things out of season, and now i’m working (well, barely) on the companion novel so yea.  floating in my head are about three vague forms of ideas though. one of which i have tried numerous times to write but never finished, another is something that i’m like ooooo i’ll write it right after i finish my current one (guess that ain’t happening), and the last is the most vague, most formless one that i just kinda have a feel on but not rly. 7. What are some ideas you had to throw away because you just didn’t have the time to work on them? i’m sure i’ve lost a lot over the years, especially because my memory sucks. also, since my memory sucks... do you expect me to remember these lost ideas??? 8. Have you ever written any poetry? Wanna show some of your stuff? the first time i ever touched poetry was two years ago for a creative writing class. they all kinda suck... do i want to show my stuff??? hmmmmm.... let me take a peek at what i’ve written then well it is pretty cringe but if you wanna read it (scroll through if you don’t want a cringe fest)

(1. don’t ask me about the formatting, idk why i did it this way  2. i think the assignment was... okay who am i kidding, idk what the assignment was about. but i think i just thought it’d be interesting to do a poem using like chinese mythology or something like that. speaking of which, the AU that i wanna write of my novel is kinda also about chinese mythology hmmm... did i say too much) 9. What’s your favorite line/scene you’ve ever written (several are possible of course)? i don’t have a favourite line, but for a scene... i’ve mentioned this somewhere else before (in response to an ask i think), but there was this really important scene that i knew, even before starting my novel, that i had to write and it was simply about this man telling them a story. and i had no idea what i’d write, how it’ was going to play out and everything, but then it came out so beautifully and evocative even though while writing i had no idea what i was doing and i actually felt what i was meant to feel in that story and i just lkjkdlfkjsdlfkd i have a lot of feelings to that  and i can’t show it to yall cuz it’s like, the first main turning point of the story. right after that scene was this kinda sleepover-ish scene with Shou and Jun and i loved writing that too because shou was adorable and excited and jun was understandably not impressed and yknow, it was kinda important too in the whole state of things. OF COURSE before that i enjoyed writing the scene where almost all of them (except the female yu) converged together in the noisies’ place and just had a whole lot of mess and fun yeah that entire portion was great because they all happened kinda altogether at once. 10. What’s your favorite quote i don’t think i have one 11. What’s your favorite quote by someone you know? well it’s not my favourite, but it’s the most iconic one that i can remember right now. we were predrinking before going to a club and one of my friends bought vodka, which yknow tastes like nail varnish and is just terrible (i mean... even if you like vodka... you gotta admit, it feels like it can melt your throat off) while others bought like ~~ wine~~ and stuff and she was like “well we just wanna get drunk right so might as well jump straight into it” and that line stuck with me ever since. girl’s got her priorities straight. (if this makes me seem like i like drinking, i really don’t. and i hate wine HAHA) 12. What’s your favorite book? you are a devil. also. no, ain’t answering that. thank you, next. 13. Which book do you regret reading? i had a bunch of them when i was younger, but... i don’t really remember right now. really 14. Is there something you regret writing? when i was younger i once wrote something in the pov of a cat. do i regret it? no.  it was really stupid though. 15. If your OC’s were actual people in your life, what would your relationship be like? oh ho ho. zhen would be the laziest friend ever and i’d probably be really annoyed at her because it’ll be impossible to go out and hang out with her, but yknow what? i’m basically the same.

shou would be annoying in a different way, he’ll be so overly-excited and energetic that i’ll just be like... stop. and he’s the sort who’ll go around talking to random strangers on the street and as a massive unsociable introvert, i’ll be drowning there in my shyness and inability to talk as he goes out yammering and yammering about who knos what (true story, i have a friend as sociable as him. even when we’re talking to mutual acquaintances, i’m just there. a statue, meant to decorate the setting in which she’s in) i can’t communicate with kids, so i’ll probably be really really awkward with lu. like really. maybe i’ll talk to him a little bit, but i can foresee it to be a very uncomfortable interaction, at least on my part. lol yu(f). i don’t think i can talk to her either. she’s too stressed out and working too hard and i don’t like to bother people like that, especially if we aren’t friends yet. ren would be really easy to talk to, he’s just so laidback and chill and nice, like he’s probably the kind of classmate you’ll just end up casually talking to when you meet on the way to class or on the way out from class. i don’t know if we’ll actually become friends, but we’ll end up being at least friendly acquaintances. i think i’d probably avoid teng in real life. he’s way too loud and dramatic and remember, i’m an introverted girl who doesn’t like to have attention on herself... and with him, yknow you’re gonna get all the attention. likewise with jun, you’re gonna get so much attention with him. but i think i could be friends with him tbh. he acts aloof and is pretty snarky and prickly but once i get past that (if i ever do, which to be frank i might not), i think we could be friends. i probably won’t be friends with yu (m) because he’s that strong silent type and unless i’m made to sit with him in class, i probably won’t ever start up a conversation with him. i most likely wouldn’t be friends with jia because she’s the really attractive, popular type yknow? she’s a nice person and i’d probably be friends with her IF we ever spoke to one another, but considering chances of that are low, i don’t think we’d end up friends. i’m reusing the above questions ^ and tagging a few more people @insearchof-solace (sorry tagging you back just because i want to know your answer for the last one HAHA) @usuallydecentwriter @sunnydaysarealwaysgrey @farrradays

Hey yall! Here's the next chapter of my fan fic ^.^ If you want to be tagged in the list, feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy!

Summary: Ben's first look of Berry High and meets a certain somebody that catches his eyes.Wow. First day of school and I’ve met the best principal I’ve ever seen. “Thank you Ms.Hughs. I hope I’ll enjoy my senior year here at Berry High.” I grin.

Principal Hughs pulls me into a quick hug. “Oh sweet pea, I promise you’ll enjoy every moment of your senior year here! Our students are so diverse and fun to talk to” She assures.

Wow okay, scratch that. Probably the friendliest principal I’ve met. “I’ll believe it, when I see it” I joke “I think my parents mentioned  something about a tour of the school?”

She claps her hands. “Of course! Let's get started right away.”

“Principal Hughs!” A voice shouts from across the hallway.She quickly turns around to see who it was.

“Good afternoon there Isa. How can I help you?”

“ Vice Principal Isa” She turns to me “ You must be our new student.”

“Yes ma'am,  I’m Ben Burton”  From the way she spoke, I assume Isa was the more strict principal compared to Hughs.

“ I’ve got my eyes on you. Don’t cause any trouble.”

“ I won’t?” slightly alarmed.

“Back on subject, Principal Hughs. There has been yet another accident in the science classroom. I need you to come with me.” Isa states.

“I’ll be right there” She turns back to me “ Sorry, duty calls. I’ll have Maria give you the tour instead”

“No worries.  I assure before Principal Hughs walks away.Someone remind me to not get on Vice Principal Isa’s bad side. I take the time to wander around the front lobby and admire all the photos plastered on the wall. Interesting choice of mascot… The Berry Tigers. I continue to wander until…

“Hi there. You must be the new student, Ben”

I turn around “Yep that…” I inhale sharply. For a moment, a faint memory of one of my closest friends renders in front of my eyes as I look at the girl standing in front of me.

The girl waves her hands in front of my face “Hello? We don’t have all day!”

I quickly shake my head and adjust my glasses. “That’s me. You must be Maria.”

She looks briefly at her watch. “We don’t have all day. Let’s get started with the tour.”

“Lead the way”

We proceed to walk down the various hallways as Maria quickly points out the different classrooms. I’m not gonna lie, I’m only paying half attention to what she says as I’m more distracted by her looks. Wearing a gray dress, she looked pretty unique with her tan skin, short black hair and a cute face.

… Am I sure I’m gay? I chuckle. Maybe its --

“So do you have any hobbies Ben?” Maria asks, interrupting my thoughts.

“Hmm? Oh yeah I have some.” I ponder for a bit “Mostly playing rpgs on my PS4… but I used to play sports and instruments when I was younger.”

“Did you now? Tell me more.” She asks, abit too excited.

“ Well… I swam on a team for about four years then tennis and taekwondo for another four years.” I could tell Maria was amazed. “As for fine arts, I played the clarinet in elementary then moved on to the violin.”

“Wow. You’re like the perfect student”

I laugh. “I’m hardly the perfect student.”

“Lucky for you, we have a lot of groups you can fit in with. We’ll wrap our tour with the extracurricular groups.”  

We stop at a hallway with Fine arts sign above the door. We walk down the hall as I hear faint piano playing. I peek slightly through the door to hear better.

“Woah” I whisper to Maria. “That’s some excellent playing!” The person continues to play a happy piece. “ Do you know the guy?”

“That’s Aiden Zhou. One of our talented band members”

Aiden finishes the piece and I applaud loudly. “Beautiful!” He stiffens at the sudden applause and gets up from his piano chair.

“Hey there Maria, who’s the person?”

“Ben Burton, our newest student this quarter.” She quickly introduces.

I offer a handshake “Nice to meet you. I have got to say, the way you played the piano was so nice!”

Aiden blushes slightly. “O-oh… it was nothing.”

“As much as we want to chit chat Ben, we have to move on with our tour”

“Aww, okay. I’ll see you around Aiden” I wave goodbye as we head out of the fine arts hallway. Maria quickly shows me the computer lab; where the video game group meets up, art , cheerleading room.

My stomach growls as we’re walking toward the courtyard. “Oof I’m a bit hungry”

“There’s a good diner around here called the Golden Griddle. That place has the best burgers in town.”

We continue to converse and as we turn the corner

“Nice! I’ll go chec---”

Before I could finish, I faintly see a football coming towards me and Maria. I hold out my hands to catch the football, until I realize too late that the football was meant for the student backing towards us.

“I got it!” The student says. Not realizing we were behind him…

“Woah!”

The male student collides into me with some force and we’re both sent falling to the ground. Another student runs to us.

“Oof. Watch where you’re going!” I chastise as I get up.

“I’d say! That was really dangerous Caleb. You know better to throw a football around in school!”

“Sorry Maria. We were just heading out for practice” Caleb looks over to me “Oh, you must be Ben,the new guy!”

He offers a handshake. “Yep thats me. And you must be?” I look over to Caleb’s friend.HOLY FUCK. If my jaw didn’t drop to the floor, it should have. Caleb’s friend is hot! His face was perfect, along with his built physique; hidden by his gray jacket. I grimace slightly as it reminded way too much of Devin.

“ Sorry about that Ben. Didn’t see you there. I’m Julian.” I shake his hand.

“Nice to meet both of y’all.”

“Oh snap Julian, we have to go. Coach is waiting on us” They quickly apologize again before leaving.

We proceed to the last spot of the tour in front of a tiger statue. “And here we have our school mascot, Ollie the Tiger”

“Aww cute name” I joke. I examine the plaque beneath the statue and the message read,

“This school began as a bunch of empty plots of land and a promise to be open to everyone, A promise that ensured no matter who you were, or what you liked, you’d always be included. And together, we can accomplish anything.” What a heartwarming message.

“Wow.. that’s a deep message! I like it.”

“Yep. Ollie means alot to us” Maria looks at her watch. “I’ll have to get going. My next class is at 1:00. I hope you enjoyed the tour.”

“ Of course I did!” I beam “Thanks again for showing me around.”

“Oh one more question.”

“Hmm?”

“ Do you have any plays on going to Homecoming?”

“Uh…” Well that was a question out of left field.  “Well…I don’t know. Do you want to be my date?”

Maria steps back in surprise “Are you seriously asking me to go to the dance with you? We just met.”

I raise an eyebrow. “You asked, so I gave you an answer.”

“I… I would never attend a dance with a stranger.”

I shrug. “For now , it’s just a maybe”

She scowls. “Great. So you’re another maybe. How am I supposed to plan a dance if everyone a this school might come to it?” She mumbles even more before exiting the courtyard.

I take a quick selfie with Ollie the Tiger before looking up the address to the Golden Griddle. Time for some lunch!

The drive to the place didn’t take long, about five minutes. I roll up to an empty parking spot and turn off the ignition. Based on the online reviews, the diner was a popular spot in town. “ Let's hope it lives up towards its hype.” I pull open the door and enter the diner. The diner is well decorated, giving off a vintage vibe. I choose a seat at the counter and briefly look at the menu.

An employee comes up to me. “ What can I get for  you today?”

“Uh… I’ll get combo meal number 1 and a strawberry milkshake” I hand cash to the employee.

“Your order will be out soon.”

I kill time by playing some Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia on my phone. Five minutes later, my order appears before me.

I start to drool. “Wow… online pictures doesn’t do this justice” I set aside my phone before taking a bite into the juicy burger. “Hmmmmmm” This burger tastes so good! Probably the best one I’ve had in awhile. I take a sip of the milkshake and I had to take another bite of my burger to prevent myself from screaming of how good the milkshake tasted.

As I’m finishing up lunch, my phone rings. I wipe my hands before taking the call. “Hello?”

“Hey sweet pea. How are you doing?” My mom asks.

“Great! Just got finished with lunch. How’s everything on your side?”

“For once, smooth. The moving company came right on time and we have everything organized.”

“Cool. I’ll come home so I can get everything set up … at least in my room” I joke. “Oh wait, can you text me our home address? I forgot to ask before leaving this afternoon.”

“Sure Honey.”

“Thanks. See you soon.” I end the call before getting up. “Thanks for the meal.”

“Our pleasure. Please come again.”

I exit the diner and got into my car. “Well today has been a great day” I muse. I turn on some music before driving back home.

Bringing my car to a halt along the side of the house, I turn off the ignition and got out. I walk to the front door and rang the doorbell.

“Coming!” A voice shouts before opening the door. “Welcome back, sprout.”

We embrace for a small hug. “Hey there dad” I step into the house and slightly blown away by how everything was in place. “Woah. Y’all work quick! Looks like just home”

“Thanks. I did most of the work” He brags.” Oww!” I look across to my mom pinching his ear.

“Yep. Your dad did all  the work. ”

I laugh “I’m certain he didn’t have any help from a certain someone.” I pat him on the back. “I’ll get started on my room.”

My dad laughs. “Good luck.”

I stride pass the living room and turn the corner. I stop at my door and open it to be greeted by four boxes in the middle of my room. I certainly did not pack that many boxes… I think.

“Mom! Dad! Did I really pack 4 boxes?” I shout back into the hallway.

“Yes! You did.” They shout back in unison

“I call bullshit” I mumble. I approach one of the boxes in the middle of the room. “ What could I possibly have packed before we mov-” I stop before realizing the contents of the box. The box contained gifts, awards, pictures, yearbooks from Bowie.

Who in their right mind would pack this ? … Probably me. I lament internally. I push aside the box and open the other three boxes to see what was inside of each one. Clothes, my book and trading card collection and my PS4. Alright this shouldn’t take too long. Thankfully, my room already had a closet and drawer built. I set aside the clothes into the closet; separating each item by category. I move to organize my book collection until the front door bell rings.

“I’ll get it” my mom shouts.

I faintly hear some greetings and continue on with my work.

“Honey! Ben! Come to the front door. Our next door neighbors would like to meet the both of you” She shouts.

I grin slightly. It’s one surprise after another. I head out from my room and to the front door. Poking my head from behind mom, we’re greeted to sight of a hispanic couple. I get from behind my mom and introduce myself to the couple. Remembering what little spanish I know…

“Buenos tardes señor y señora. My name is Ben Burton” I offer my hand. I couldn’t tell if they were surprised or impressed.

“Oh, you can speak spanish?” The man ask, taking my hand in a firm shake.

“Ah… a little bit” I confess.

My dad rolls his eyes. “Show off”

I shrug as I step aside.

“Hello there. My name is Lucas Burton. It’s nice to meet you.”

“ We heard we were getting new neighbors and just had to come over and introduce ourselves.”

The woman nods in agreement. “My name is Julia Ortega and my husband is David Castillo”

“Our soon should be coming over soon. Oh there he is. Hijo! Come introduce yourself to our new neighbors.” David beckons to his son.

I could not believe my eyes. “Wh--” I barely manage to whisper out. His son carefully steps in front of his parents.

“It’s nice to meet you Mr and Mrs. Burton. I’m Julian Cast-” His dark brown eyes meet mines.

“Julian?!”

“Ben?”

This has to be a dream

TBC

P.S: I may be going on a slight hiatus to focus on school ;-; sorry. Please look forward to the next chapter! ~

F- Favorite Song: This constantly changes, but right now...’Take on Me’ covered by Ninja Sex Party. Love the Aha one too!

G- Ghosts are They Real?: Yes. Though I tend to believe that they are lasting psychic impressions rather than actual people, but that’s me.

H- Hometown: Hampton Roads, VA!

I- In Love With: Oh man, so much! My husband, my family, my friends, my rat Chip, Pittsburgh...

J- Jealous of: Ehhh...I try not to get jealous. I avoid comparing myself to other people. Rather, I do wish that certain things were easier (finances, especially). I might get jealous of someone’s puppy...because I, too, would like a puppy.
