On a stage set by starlight, the silvered treetops mirror the stalwart moon, shimmering like summer snow.

The reaper arrives, cutting down the shadows with a darker shade of blade. 

This is the story of the mother, matriarch, and murderer: Raven Branwen.

This story is about a girl, who had been through many difficult things before the summer of 2020. Her name is Hailey, and she almost 13 years old. Now that it's summer, she is trying her best to comfort herself, relax and have a nice summer.

I want to run. To anywhere but here. Anywhere but this small town. I live in Sunside Valley. A small town. And it's summer. My 5 best friends Tre, William, Sandra, Ryan, and Vanessa are out of town. The only bestie in town is Dylan. He works during the summer at our bookstore our parents own. Me and him also work during the school year but I get summer off. So I'm alone in this empty small town. Everyone's gone. I have this ache in my stomach from missing someone from so long ago as I ride my bike to the bookstore where I spend most of my summer with Dylan because no one else is here.

I arrive at the Bookworm bookstore. I smile because I already get the warm feeling of that small bookstore that's filled with million books. I lock up my bike and notice Dylan is reading through the window not even noticing I'm outside. I knock on the glossy glass window. He looks up from the book in shock and looks straight at me. I see his bright warm smile and I smile back.

I open the door and the coolness of the AC hits me finally somewhere cold other than home. It's burning outside kinda wish I brought Penny along. I see Luka Dyl's dog run to me and I smile. He bend down and he licks my face.

"Hey Luka. Who's a good boy? You are!" I pet behind his ear. He's a beautiful Golden retriever who I've known since he was a puppy.

"Morning L." He greets me and it's vacant in the store. I smile at him. 

"Morning Dyl whatcha reading?" I ask bouncing up and leaning against the counter.

"My favorite of course." He says.

"Why I should have known. You always read the time of day." I smile. "Got anything good for me today?"

"Yeah actually." He reaches under the counter where we puts all books we recommend to each other and slides it onto the counter. I pick it's up and read the title. 

"Dusk till Dawn." I say out loud. I turn it around to the back to read the summary.

"It's about a warlock named Quin and a werewolf named Kaylee. Best friends and they were ripped apart because they are different. But they are in love and the the werewolf is determined to find him." He explains. Then I feel this weird feeling….Dylan really….I know he doesn't know about the boy. But this book is my life with a bit of a twist that they can't be together and get pulled apart by their parents. But the fact I'm looking for someone. I'm the werewolf and he's the witch.

"Can't the boy just use a spell to find her?" I ask. Thinking about how that boy should be looking for me but I don't know that. 

"No, her parents put a cloaking spell on her." He says. Sometimes I wish I was in books because it would be easy to forget or come up with reasons he may not be looking.

"You sure it's good?" I look down at the book and notice how thick it is.

"Yes and I know you read books fast but this one is 2,000 pages and I know if you really wanted to you can finish that easily. But it's better if you don't trust me." He smiles at me. Dylan is always right about books but should I trust him? This could make me break down.

"Look L, I love the book and I think you will to you can keep reading The Fire while you're reading it but come on give it a chance." He tries to convince me. I take the book of the counter and it's a bit heavy. I put in my brown leather sachal and take out The Fire. 

"Read both at the same time?" I question kind of.

"Come on I know you read like 10 books at once." He says. And of course he's right. I can't help but giggle a bit.

"You know me too well." I playfully punch his arm.

"Yeah sure come on." He gets from behind the counter to the door and flips the sign to closed. 

"Come on I got a hour brunch break." He smiles.

"There is no such thing." I smile. 

"Come on my parents won't mind they have real work to deal with." He says. 

"Fine." I say. I never understood why his parents let Dylan and I get our dream and bought the shop when they work. His dad is a doctor and his mom is a graveyard nurse every other night. His mom is always home in the morning sleeping. And really just because this is Dylan's shop it's also mine in a way. Dylan is practically family. Our parents grew up together. And when we were 12 we had this dream to open a bookstore. Our parents split the cost put it under their names and bam. Our dream came true.

"Come on Luka!" Dylan calls and hooks him onto a leash. His tail wags and I pet the top of his head. He opens the door and he locks it behind us. It's a sunny day and I see the rays glowing through the trees. Very little cars pass and I wish everyone didn't leave for the summer. 

"Wait L, you biked huh?" He asks. 

"Yeah but come on we can walk." I smile. 

"Hmm ok right across the park and get some crepes and have picnic?" He asks. 

"Of course. The Breakfast picnic everyday." I smile.

When a girl named Ella has a past that haunts her and made promise that she doesn't know she can keep. When she get's the power to see future, present, and past clips in her dreams, ahe starts to wonder maybe she can keep that promise. Her and her friends go on a wild adventure to try and forfill that promise. She stumbles upon a world she never imagined was real.

"Coming",I said running towards my car.It was 7:50 in the morning and we were running late to school.I sat at the back with my sister Annabeth and my brother Xvier sat at the front seat with my mother.We reached our school,hugged and kissed our mom and went inside our school.I walked towards my locker,took out my biology book and went to Miss Anna's class.I sat beside my Best Friend Rosie Elland.
"Hey Anastasia",Rosie said in her cute voice.
"Hey there!",I said sitting beside her, 
We spent rest of the class listening to Miss Anna's Speeches.
"There are only two days left for the summer break do you have any plans?",Rosie asked,while we walked through the corridor.
"Nops,No plans",I said in an irritating voice.It was horrible that I didn't have any plans for the summer break.
"I will be spending my summer break sitting on my couch reading my book,while my sister will be crying and my brother will be doing dumb things",I said while Rosie laughed.
"It's not funny",I groaned.
It was lunch time and we sat at our table.I went to the shop bought a granola bar and a cheeseburger.I went towards my table and sat in front of Rosie.I was going to have another bite of my granola bar,when my friends Chloe,Ellis and Skyler sat with us.
"Hey Girls!I know the summer break is going to start,so what are your plans?",I asked simply.
"I am going to La Francais!!",Chloe said excitedly.
"I am going to stay at my home",Ellis said.
"No plans!"Skyler said.
We silently ate our food and waited for the bell to ring.Finally,the bell rang and everyone went to their classes.I went to the library,grabbed Edition 3 of Artemis Fowl and sat there reading silently.I was about to shout when I felt someone tugging my shirt.

" Author's P.O.V. "
Summer was in the back of her limousine with her brothers looking outside through the window.

*BRINGGG BRINGGG BRINGGG BRINGGG*

Her phone rang. She pulled her phone out of her jeans pocket and saw her dad 's name; King Solar IV - Dad - on it.

Summer quickly picked it up because it could be something important.

"Hello dad! What's the matter?"

"Summer, you need to go to the castle now! I've got something important to tell you!"

"Roger that dad. I'll be there in 10."

King Solar hung up the call.

"Driver, change our destination to the Milky Way Castle please!"

"Anything for you,ma'am."

<3.44 p.m.> 
" Author's P.O.V."
Summer and her brothers got out of the limousine as they have arrived at the castle. 

They quickly went inside. Summer told her brothers to go the their room.

She walked to the King's Office and opened the door. 

The office was big. It had a chandelier on the ceiling at the center of the room. Most of the things in the room are decorated with gold. There were big bookshelves stacked along the office wall.

At the office table, she saw her dad, King Solar IV. He was doing some work on a laptop. He looked like an old person,having a goatee and dark circles under his eyes. The office table was full of stacks of papers,documents and books.

Her dad looked up from his laptop and greeted , " Hi Summer! So,how was your day at school?"

"Meh, it's okay. By the way, why exactly did you call me and told me to meet you here?"

"Come,follow me. We have important things to attend to."

"Okay,but first, PLEASE CUT THE LOOK. I'm worried about you. You look sleep depruved and stressed. At least PLEASE shave the goatee and put on some concealers to your dark circles. You're only 32 and you look like an old wizard or something. PLEASE?", she begged while doing her best puppy eyes.

"Fine. I'll do it."

He quickly went to the office bathroom and did some stuff.

After a few minutes, he came out of the bathroom. His face was clean and his goatee was shaved. His eyes look more normal because of the concealers.

He sighed. "Okay now?"

Summer gave him a thumbs up.

"Okay, now let's go to the meeting room."

Summer followed her dad around the castle. She quickly picked up the pace as King Solar started going faster. She didn't want to get lost because the meeting room is at a top secret area in the castle.

" Author's P.O.V. "

They finally arrived at the meeting room. The door was a thick metal door with a  retina scanner to open it. 

King Solar quickly scanned his eyes and the door immediately opened. 

Inside was a big round table with many chairs for the ministers. In the middle of the table was a big long tube. 

Summer and King Solar sat down on the chairs. The tube turned on and said with a monotone voice,

"Wekcome to the Library. Voice recognition password please."

"Voice recognition?"

"Password accepted. Welcome,King Solar IV!"

"Huh....Okay I guess?"

Summer giggled quietly seeing the confused king still looking at the tube.

He cleared his throat. "Library, open file 361."

The Black Diamond wand has been in the Secret Services hands since ten years ago. 

Yesterday at 2307 hours one of our guards was doing their night guarding routine. It appears that the wand has been stolen.

The forensics team found a few things;
A thumb print with a rather peculiar symbol on it,a scrape of a robe,and a letter. It will be put in file 362.

Our investigators say that this is the work of the Sorcerer. The letter is still not decoded as our decoder is unable to work. 

I hope you can give your cooperation.

In a modern world where magic exists and kings ruled galaxies, Summer, the Princess of Milky Way Galaxy, thrives on an adventure with her friends to steal the Black Diamond Wand from the evil Sorcerer. Will they succeed or will they fail at the hands of a sorcerer?

Summer looked amazed by the sight of a handsome young man approaching her and smiling very sweetly. Lauriel's face was similar to Nicolae's, so she immediately felt a closeness between them. Moreover, the man's face looked very friendly. He actually Summer of the angels she had seen in books.
"Hello ..." Summer greeted Lauriel shyly. Her beautiful and adorable face made Lauriel look happy.
"Ahh .. you are so smart," Lauriel commented. He then turned to Nicolae. "You must quickly go home to Grosetto. I want to see you as soon as possible and hold Summer in my arms. I can't believe I just got myself another granddaughter!"
Nicolae nodded happily. "Of course. Where are you now by the way, Father?"
"I'm in Asia. But I can go back to Italy tomorrow. When do you want to go home?" Lauriel asked.
"Oh ... I can take Marie and Summer to Grosetto tomorrow." Nicolae turned to Marie. "Honey, you want to go with me to Italy, right? I want to show you around my family's house."
Marie nodded. Of course, she wanted it. Marie had no ties whatsoever in this world. 
She would gladly follow Nicolae wherever the man took her. Later, when things were calm, she would contact Sanna and say goodbye to her best friend and explained everything needed explaining.
"I'm so happy to hear that," Lauriel said. He liked this future daughter-in-law of his.
He invited Marie to talk and showed her that he openly supported Nicolae's relationship with her. 
Meanwhile, Marie still found it hard to believe in her own eyes when she saw that Nicolae's biological father turned out to still look so young.
Lauriel look like he was the same age as Nicolae.
How shocking!
When Summer finally turned sleepy, they decided to disconnect the call and bid goodbye to Lauriel. They all agreed to meet in Grosetto as soon as possible.
Since Nicolae promised to go on an adventure with Terry this summer, he was forced to contact his best friend by phone and tell him what had happened. Terry did not mind it at all and was genuinely very happy to hear the good news delivered by Nicolae.
"Gosh ... I'm so glad to hear this," Terry exclaimed repeatedly. "I'll stop by Grosetto next week to see you guys."
"Thank you," Nicolae said. He was relieved because his friend was very understanding.
"Congratulations, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness," Terry said before ending the call.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it."
After Nicolae hung up the call, he then followed Marie to Summer's bedroom to accompany her reading a bedtime story for their daughter. When he got there, he saw the girl sitting on the edge of the bed while reading a story from a fairy tale book.
The sight made him deeply moved, and his chest was filled with warmth.
Ahh ... he now had his own family. He felt so blessed!
From the way Marie had been treating Summer, Nicolae could see how Marie was a good mother. Summer had a very happy life and didn't lack anything.
This reminded Nicolae of Mrs. Lu, who gave birth to Marie and raised her to be a brave and amazing woman. He was happy because he had met his mother-in-law before she passed away.
He could see how Marie took after her mother in so many ways. In his heart, he thanked Mrs. Lu for raising such a wonderful daughter.
Nicolae sauntered to the bed and sat next to Marie.
"Sssh ... she's already asleep," he whispered to the girl. "You can stop reading it."
Marie, who was concentrating on reading the story, looked up and realized that Nicolae was right. Summer was fast asleep with her lips slightly open. The expression on her face looked very cute.
"Ahh .. you are right," Marie said. She also saw that Koi had slept soundly in the corner.
"Now we must rest too," Nicolae said. He rose and took Marie's hand to get out of Summer's room and into his bedroom.
Since she entered this penthouse, Marie had never been to the master's room where Nicolae was staying. 
Now, when she stepped inside, the girl looked stunned.
What a beautiful room! she thought.
The furniture looked very antique and expensive. Even the solid wooden bedposts were decorated with gold carvings. She felt like she had entered a bedroom in the king's palace.
Nicolae, who saw Marie's expression, realized that the girl greatly admired his room.
"Do you like rooms like this?" he whispered in an intimate voice. "My room in Grosetto is similar in design to this room. I'm sure you will like it."
The Medici family's castle in Grosetto was centuries old and had a classic design and antique furniture. It looked very elegant and beautiful, similar to this penthouse. 
However, all modern facilities have been added to it, so the castle became very comfortable to live in.
"Is it true?" Marie asked with an awed expression. "I really like the design here."
"You will like it. You can see it yourself tomorrow."
Seeing Marie so close to him made Nicolae unable to hold back from kissing the girl, and he really didn't want to hold back anymore. So, he held her waist and claimed her lips greedily.
Nicolae had never felt anything like this before. 
Right now, he only wanted to be with Marie, held her hand, hugged her body, kissed her lips, and made love to her.
"Ahh ..." Marie moaned in surprise when Nicolae suddenly pulled her body into his arms and kissed her lips tenderly.
After she got over the initial shock, Marie also responded to the kiss. 
Nicolae really missed this natural red lip and aggressively claimed her lips as if there was no tomorrow. His hands moved nimbly, exploring the girl's waist and then climbed onto her breasts.
Marie naturally wrapped her arms around Nicolae's neck. She enjoyed the man caressing her body, and occasionally let out a sexy moan that sounded very sweet in Nicolae's ears.
The two then kissed passionately and started groping each other. Five minutes later, their bodies had moved to the bed and were entwined there.
No one knew who started it first, but they quickly stripped each other's clothes. Not long after, Nicolae and Marie had admired each other's bodies in all their glory and resumed their fiery kisses.
Nicolae then went on top of her and pressed Marie on the bed. He fondled her breasts lovingly and alternate it with hot kisses between each peak. He loved her curves. Everything was in perfect proportion. He felt so lucky!
With a beaming face, Nicolae traced every inch of Marie's skin with his lips, tongue, and fingers. Every moan and grunt came out of the girl's lips made Nicolae even more excited and creative. He loved hearing that sexy voice in his ears, so he quickly studied Marie's sensitive spots and satisfied her endlessly.
His efforts were not in vain, because Marie incessantly moaned and arched her back from the flow of pleasure coursing through her body from head to toe.
After the umpteenth orgasm, Marie finally seemed very ready to accept Nicolae's rock-hard manhood to enter her and give her a different kind of pleasure. 
The man gently caressed her inner thighs and slowly parted her legs. 
With a long passionate kiss, he slowly rammed his manhood inside her wet honeypot all the way in. It felt so warm and already so wet.
Marie let out a long moan when Nicolae's shaft went all the way in and made her feel so full and tight. She curled her toes and pressed her legs around Nicolae's waist.
Nicolae naturally pumped in and out of her core with regular movements, giving equal pleasure to him and the woman under him. Both of them were so in love and longing for each other.
After Marie and Nicolae reached the peak together, it only took a few minutes for the lovebirds to start the next round even more passionately. The two were so busy making love and chased each other on cloud nine and forget about their surroundings. 
This time they really took their sweet time because the night was still young, and they could do it for however long they wanted.
That night Nicolae and Marie vented their deep longing for each other. When they finally ended their vigorous lovemaking activities, both of them were overwhelmed with so much joy.
They finally slept when the clock showed it was already 2 am. Mari snuggled inside of Nicolae's embrace as the man spooned her from behind. 
She felt so safe and so happy. He felt so loved and content.
Both Nicolae and Marie slept with smiling faces and hearts filled with warmth.

Rui Xing was lazying around in her bedroom, reading a book she got hooked onto. She was addicted to reading books. The book she was currently reading was about how the main character spends her summer at the summer house. 

At this second, her phone rang. It was a call from her best friend, Wen Xi. "Hello Rui Xing! Are you free tomorrow night?" Wen Xi asked her excitedly. "What's the plan for tomorrow night?" "I'm having a party at my house! I'll be inviting anyone I know." "Uh I'm not sure if I'm interested to co..come with...with so ma..many people around" Rui Xing stuttered. "It'll be fine! I want to introduce you to my other friends! I promise it will be fun. Don't be such an introvert!" "Fine..." Then Rui Xing hung up the phone. 

The only reason she would be going to the party tomorrow night was to not disappoint Wen Xi. She's already rejected 3 invites from Wen Xi whenever she held a party. Rui Xing felt bad for not showing up and supporting her best friend, so this time, she will. She started packing for tomorrow's party, then realized she had no idea what to bring. She's never been to a party before. Rui Xing texted Wen Xi, asking what to bring for tomorrow and she replied saying to bring herself. Rui Xing rolled her eyes. That information was not of much help to her. 

In the end, Rui Xing just decided to bring her phone, wallet, and her book, in case she was bored and felt like reading. She then used her phone till around 11.30pm before sleeping. 

—————————-
The next day 
—————————-
Since it was Rui Xing's off day and had nothing to do, she went to the library to check out a few books she's been wanting to read. Happy to have seen the books she wanted, she grabbed the book from the shelf and started reading a bit of the story. 

She was so mesmerized and concentrated into reading the book that she didn't know she sat there for 2 hours. She accidentally finished reading the book, when she was only supposed to read the first bit. I guess I don't have to borrow this book now, Rui Xing thought to herself. She then went on the look-out for the other 2 books she wanted to read. 

As expected, Rui Xing came home with 5 books and not just 2. By the time she came home, it was already 7.30pm. She was to arrive at the party at 7.45pm. Rui Xing went to her closet and started to ponder. What do people wear to parties? Do they just wear normal clothes? The only thing that came to mind was hoodie and jeans so she took that outfit and wore it. 

Rui Xing grabbed her keys and headed to the bus stop, waiting for the bus that took her to Wen Xi's house. In the meanwhile, she started reading her book. As soon as the bus arrived, she boarded the bus. She started to feel nervous, what if someone asks her to do something she doesn't what to do?

She alighted the bus, feeling anxious and scared for what might happen at the party. As Rui Xing reached Wen Xi's house, she awkwardly walked in to look for Wen Xi when someone tapped on her shoulder. It was Wen Xi! "You came!!!" Wen Xi said as she greeted her with a hug. "I want you to meet this person. Rui Xing, meet Shang Ying. Shang Ying, meet Rui Xing." Wen Xi introduced them to each other. 

"Hi," Rui Xing said politely. "Hey, Rui Xing right? Didn't we meet before? We went to the same kindergarten." Shang Ying asked casually. "Wow it's been so many years... How could you still remember me?" Rui Xing asked, puzzled and curious to know his reply. "It was because you were the person who sat at the back of the class and did not utter a word on the first day." Shang Ying smiled. And his dimples at the side of his cheeks could be seen, which was kind of cute, Rui Xing thought to herself. "Oh right" Rui Xing scratched her head. 
"Okay, I'll leave you guys to chat while I entertain the other guests." Wen Xi said to both of them.

A 21 year old girl is in a love triangle. Whose heart would she break? Who will she end up with? How would her loved-ones react? 
(Editor of this story: @nalubae)
(Co-writer of Vengeful In Love)

It's the last day of the 1st semester; I'm already in my 2nd year in high school and by tomorrow, summer break will start. 
  Summer isn't the nicest out of all seasons, since the sun will be scorching hot. Summer may be convenient to others since there are a lot of things you can do while on summer break but as for me, I would just lock myself in my room and write all summer long.  
  Maybe you're wondering why I would start the story in my sophomore year of high school and on top of that the first semester already ended. Looking back at how my freshman high school life went, there's nothing in particular, that happened, it was just a peaceful year because from the moment I entered this school time went so fast as if it was just yesterday. 
  Before you judge me if I didn't do anything, no, in fact, I was busy all year writing for my manuscript that I didn't even have the time to make friends in my class, it was a bit regretful but, in the end, I made some friends when I joined the literature club. 

A year had passed, and I'm already in my 2nd year of high school. 
It was the day of our entrance ceremony, so I headed out to school. As I walked down a street lined with cherry blossom trees― a chilly wind blew that made all the petals danced around me. It was like a scene found in cliché anime and manga, a scene where a girl will suddenly fall while running with a piece of bread in her mouth and will accidentally displaying her panties in front of me or suddenly seeing a girl's "Beret" flying around out of nowhere.     
  I was waiting for it to happen, not because I want to but because I'm an "author" and it would greatly benefit me if I experienced something like that myself. I kept walking until I finally arrived at my destination without something happening and that was a real shame.  
That day wasn't really that disappointing for me because it was also the day where my "Rose-coloured Life" started to take bloom. 

After the entrance ceremony ended, I headed straight to my club to finish some unfinished manuscripts of mine that will be used for our presentation for our new members in the club.               As soon as I arrived, I saw that the door was open, maybe one of the members was already inside and forgot to close the door, as I walked through the door, a breeze suddenly struck my eyes that made me blink, I slowly open my eyes and I saw a girl with a short black hair, totally spaced out looking outside the window. At that moment, I was completely mesmerized by her. Her gorgeous eyes, her fragrance that enveloped the entire room, her short black hair flowing beautifully with the petals that were dancing alongside the breeze.  
  At that time, she realized I had entered the room, and then, as soon as our eyes met each other, she got flustered. She then bows her head, asked for apologies then walked away. I was spaced out that I even forgot to ask for her name. 

A few months went by and our 1st semester was over.  
At the time I was trying to muster up my courage to ask for the girl's name, but every time I tried to ask for her name, I would just give up and try the next time, it continued to cycle like this until several months passed without me taking a step towards my "Rose-coloured Life". 
 Summer vacation came. Instead of going to the beach or go shopping with my friends this summer, I have a lot of work to do on my own, working on a manuscript I haven't started yet. I really don't have any idea what story I would write this time, I was thinking to go for a cliché romance but even I wouldn't try to enter the unknown territory of romance. (Currently Single).  
I wandered outside to try and gather some materials that would illuminate my creative will and inspiration but as I expected all I can see around are couples flirting non-stop with each other as if the world would end by tomorrow― outside was useless, nothing will come up just by seeing them alone.  
  I ended up going to a bookstore to buy some novels, getting materials from reading books is many ways better than watching all the couples flirt around the streets. I walked into the bookstore and in the front row, you can see all the LNs recommendations for the month and the ones that are the most popular amongst the readers. I picked up a book called "As the wind blows" by Aoyama Akari 

A renowned author that already sold 20,000 copies with her very first work. I tried to read a couple of chapters before buying it and as I expected from an author of her caliber, she already charmed me just by reading the first few chapters. 
 An hour already passed with me standing at the same spot with the same book. Reading intently without any care on his surroundings, then, the clerk suddenly tapped my shoulders. 
"Sir, I deeply apologize for bothering you but my manager told me that this is a bookstore, not a library, and he would like it if you buy all the books that you read..." 

I turned around. As soon as I saw her, my eyes suddenly opened in surprise. It was the same girl with short black hair that I had met on the day of the entrance ceremony. I was totally surprised that I stepped backward and hit my head on a shelf. 

"Are you okay sir??" 

"You're, you're...!!" 

"I'm...?" 

"You're the girl back then...right? 

"Back then??" 

"The girl who was spaced out looking outside the window" 

As she thinks, her face slowly turns red― out of embarrassment she then hides her face in her hands.  

(ah... she's cute when she's embarrassed like always) 

"eee.. You were the guy back then!!" 

While she was being embarrassed by the memories of that day, I noticed that she got an I.D. on her working dress, so I tried looking at her name. 

(I see, Akiyama Amane was her name...) 

Before I headed to the counter, I apologized to her for reading the book without buying it, she then asked for an apology for interrupting me while I was reading, well practically it wasn't her fault since I was the one who got absorbed in the book that I lost track of the time. 
As I headed for the counter, a voice over my shoulder stopped me. 

"Would you like to wait outside?? I'm done with work today so I'll just quickly fetch my things up and meet you outside" 

"yeah?....oh sure" I replied with a surprised look on my face. 
 
 I bought the book and headed outside, standing straight and waiting happily. I didn't know how would I react, whether to jump out of joy or simply shout at the top of my lungs. After a few minutes of waiting, Akiyama tapped me on the shoulders. 

"Sorry for waiting," Akiyama said while smiling as she tilts her head. "Should we go?" 

"Mmh? I'm sorry, but where are we going?" 

"Ohh, just follow me" 

I didn't have a single clue where we were going, but I still decided to follow her nonetheless. We arrived at a restaurant near the station, which if I recall, it was a restaurant that is popular amongst the highs school girls because they only sell desserts here. Akiyama had wanted to go here for a long time, but with her tight schedule, she hadn't had any time to visit it.  

"..." 

"Should we order?" she asked. 

"ah sure, then I'll just order a coffee for now" 

We ordered. We ate. She introduced herself and talked about a bunch of things that had happened back then.  Akiyama then asked about the book that I was reading earlier at the bookstore. I told her that it was one of the popular books called "As the wind blow" by Aoyama Akari, she might be a big fan of the book, because as soon as she heard the words, she looked a little surprised.    
  I enthusiastically explained to her, why the book was great that it even made me lost track of the time, I told her that it was a book that makes even non-readers enjoy it. She kept smiling at me while I was being a total fanboy about Akari-sensei's work. 

After talking about many things, we decided to leave the restaurant. We left, and afterward, she thanked me a lot for accompanying her today. It was the best thing that had happened to me this year, so I also thanked her for inviting me. 

"I had a wonderful time today, thank you!" I said with a big smile on my face. As soon as we parted, she looked at me in the eyes and asked something. 

"That reminds me, I haven't asked for your name yet..." 

"Fujimoto...Fujimoto Ren"  

She then tilted her head once again along with a smile, a luminous smile that would light up the night-time. 
"I had a good time today too, FUJIMOTO-kun"  

she then turned around and we parted our ways. 
Her bright smile instantly melted my heart, it would be the best smile I had ever seen in my life.

The story follows a novelist and a sophomore student at Kanzaki Highschool named Fujimoto Ren, One day, he met a beautiful girl during the entrance ceremony where his interest in writing a story in romance sparks. Being completely clueless, his heroine's route didn't go well as he expected

I wake to bird chirping and light shine through the window. Getting up I see wooden floors with a desk in the right corner by the door that is in front of me.
Summer-Well what I expect from a small village that in the middle of nowhere.
Tom- 'What you mean the middle of nowhere?'
Summer- 'The continent is big but, I don't know how big.'
Tom- 'Then why not go to a library and find out.'
Summer- 'But I need money, and the best place is to go to a hunter guild.'
Tom- 'And if they appraise you for the element you have.'
Summer- 'Um.'
Tom- 'If they trick you into signing a contract or don't pay you as much that others receive.'
Summer- 'Ok, ok, you made your point.'
Summer gets up from the bed then grabs her bag to check it.
Summer- 'I got the dagger, cloak, and other things.'
Tom- 'You took the cloak off to sleep?'
Summer- 'Yep.'
Tom- 'Sleep with it on.'
Summer- 'Why?'
Tom- 'What are you?'
Summer- 'A girl.'
Tom- 'What else.'
Summer- 'An elf.'
Tom- 'And?'
Summer- 'Oh.'
Summer puts on the cloak, then straps the dagger to her back hip before carrying the bag and leaving the room. She walks down the steps and sits down on a chair.
Mollie-Hello what would you like?
Summer in a kind of deep voice, replies.
Summer-I would like what recommend for breakfast.
Mollie-Ok, that will be eggs, a waterdragon fruit, and blackdots meat with orange juices as a drink.
Summer-That sounds good.
Mollie-That will be at least 10 minutes.
Mollie walks away to put in the order.
Summer- 'I am happy you recommend for me to try to use mana on my voice box  to change my voice but did not know it was this easy.'
Tom- 'Well it was just an idea I had and it works which is great.
Tom- 'Also, why are the food naming weird.'
Summer- 'Well, the legend says that an injured water dragon was guarding a fruit and a human help him recover so, the water dragon gave that human the fruit and this is the evolution for that fruit.'
Summer- 'The blackdots meat, is from a cow that pitch black and when you see them far away they just look like black dots.'
Tom- 'Im betting that the human killed the water dragon for the fruit.'
Summer- 'Well it just a legend so it does not matter.'
Tom- 'True.'
After 5 minutes of them talking about their plans for the next few days, Mollie comes out with the food.
Mollie-Here you go.
She sets down a plate with a blue fruit that is shaped in a weird line and pitch-black meat beside it with orange juices and eggs.
Summer-Thank you.
Mollie-Welcome.
After she is done eating she head out, after getting directions to the library, she walks to it.
Summer-Here it is.
She walks in.
Summer-This place is smaller than I thought it would be.
Tom- 'It is a village libary.'
She can see there is only one floor with 30 shelves in a row.
After looking at the place she walks to the desk where you can see an old women with gray hair read a book.
Summer-Hellow there, I would like to know if this is a public library and when does it close.
Librarian-Yes it is, and it closes at midnight.
Summer-Where is the history books, hunters books, and magic books.
Librarian-The history are the 5 first shelves on the left, the hunter books are 3 next to it and the rest are a mix of them and other things.
Summer-Is there no magic books.
Librarian-*Sigh* Sadly the academia monopolizes the magic books.
Summer-Oh, ok, then thank you anyway.
Librarian-You are welcome.
Summer walks to the far left, passing by people who are reading books. Someone grabs her cloak, she looks back to see a fat man with brown hair and green eyes drinking bottles.
Summer-Let go.
?-Come one I just want to see who hiding under there.
Summer hits his hand away.
?-What the hell!
Summer-I said let go.
She walks away not pay attention to him.
Out of nowhere, he charges at her.
Tom-'Summer!'
She quickly sidesteps right tripping him then grabs him by the head slamming his face on the floor.
?-Aggh
Librarian-What happen here.
?-That person attack me for no reason.
Librarian-You think you can lie to me when I seen what happen, huh.
Librarian-Now, get lost paul, and don't come back, you are banned from the library.
After the incident, she walks and starts grabbing books about history and hunter guild.
Summer-Ok so it says that the continents 7 mi and name fireash and the other continents are about half that and the country is on the very edge of the continent which is called Xexa is about 1 mi. It says here there was a war that was started by the elves and demons for rights to live on the same continent but they were defeated by the humans and beastmen.
Summer-Let see if I can find some more information about this.
She looks around but only find things about other counts and there rulers or big thing that happen in history.
Summer-Strange, well let look at the hunter guild books.
She grabs books about Hunters guild and starts to read.
Summer-So it can be grade from lowest to highest which is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 star, then there is 7 and 8 which is the highest.
Summer-They have to take an element test, then a combat test after they give a task you have to complete to get your 0-star badge which then you have to work your way up.
Summer-Ok since we have read what we came here to do, then I have some more time to read other books to gain knowledge. 
She walks around grabs the book she can carry then sits down at a desk and starts reading.

Tom wakes up in an unknown place, feeling like a piece of himself is missing but no matter how hard he tries but nothing fits in place. He looks around and is surprise what he finds out.

This is my first novel, so give all the things that can help me also I don't own the picture it goes to the owner I would want to get my own but I am bad at drawing but the title and writing itself I own.

Sheng Yize jerked and looked petrified.
An Xiaxia was flabbergasted as well. She shifted her gaze and saw An Yibei standing at the door, a murderous look on his face.
"Ahem, hello, Brother An." Sheng Yize struggled to keep his composure. He sat up, tucked An Xiaxia in, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, he was only giving himself away with that conspicuously innocent act.
An Yibei adjusted his glasses and went up to the bed with an impassive face. "I see you're already alive and kicking, so you're fine now. Do you know that our old man fainted from high blood pressure because of you?"
An Xiaxia felt so embarrassed and apologized gingerly, "I'm sorry…"
"Hmph!" An Yibei darted Sheng Yize a sidelong glance. "To the corridor!"
Sheng Yize rubbed his nose and awkwardly followed An Yibei out.
A couple of minutes later, he came back, looking defeated. An Xiaxia asked in a worried tone, "Are you alright?"
"I… guess…" He grimaced inwardly, feeling the bruises forming on his body.
That overprotective brother was as ruthless as ever… 
He picked up that notebook and went back to reading An Xiaxia's diary.
"January 1st. I watched fireworks with Brother Ah Ze. He said no view was as pretty as me. Sigh, Brother Ah Ze is perfect, but he has very bad taste."
Sheng Yize was speechless.
He went on reading after a little pause.
"February 14th. Valentine's Day and Spring Festival are on the same day this year~ Brother Ah Ze said he's going to spend this day with me every year from now on… Sob, does he want to take my meat for the rest of my life? 
"May 1st, Labor's Day. Lala~ I'm a hardworking bee! I watered all of Brother Ah Ze's plants, but… he said cacti didn't need it… 
"June 3rd. Brother Ah Ze said today is the day I hatched, but it's my birthday! I'm not a chicken. I didn't hatch out of an egg. Is there something wrong with his head?
"July 8th. I like summer, Brother Ah Ze likes summer, I like Brother Ah Ze! Yeah!"
Sheng Yize stopped there and snickered. "You little fool, falling in love so early… You wrote that you like me in your diary. Restrain yourself…"
Despite the feigned disdain in his voice, he couldn't have been any happier.
He darted a look at An Xiaxia, but she had already fallen asleep.
Smiling, he finished the rest of the diary on his own.
The bits and pieces of their past were warm, touching, and the best of their memories.
Knock, knock —
There was a knock on the door and An Yibei walked in. He glanced at An Xiaxia, who was asleep in bed. "She's sleeping?"
"Yes."
"Come. Let's have a drink."
Sheng Yize did as he was told. After instructing his bodyguard to secretly watch over An Xiaxia, he went to the nearest bar with An Yibei.
Both were exceptional drinkers and they finished several bottles after a short while.
Soothing jazz music was playing in the bar. An Yibei adjusted his glasses and lit a cigarette, looking painfully handsome as he held it between his fingers.
"When my dad was trying to give Xiaxia a name, he had come up with quite a few, but she didn't like any of them. She was too afraid to speak and liked to hide in the corners of our house. On a whim, my dad asked, 'How about Xiaxia?'"
An Yibei smiled. "That was the first time I heard her speak. She asked, 'Xia, as in summer?'"
It felt as if a chasm had been pried open in Sheng Yize's impenetrable heart. He pursed his lips tight and recalled that paragraph in her diary… 
"I like summer, Brother Ah Ze likes summer, I like Brother Ah Ze…"
Was that why… she liked the name "Xiaxia"?


As an anti-fan of the idol group, Starry Night, An Xiaxia is happy to spend her time online slandering lead singer Sheng Yize. 

But things take an unexpected turn when An Xiaxia starts high school - the Starry Night trio somehow becomes her classmates, and even end up moving into her house. 

Also, the nation’s idol Sheng Yize seems particularly interested in An Xiaxia for some reason...

Sheng Yize: Xiaxia, if I and a chicken wing fall into the water together, which one will you save?

An Xiaxia: Hm… I can't swim, so obviously you're going to save yourself and get my chicken wing out!

Sheng Yize: I thought I was the nation’s idol???
