"Is that so?" Seungwoo's face suddenly turned pale, "Then why are the lights still flickering?"
My face turned blank as I tried to process the whole thing. The remote control was already in Seungwoo's hands. Even though he wasn't doing anything with it, the lights keep on turning on and off.
What on earth is happening here?
The lights stopped flickering, I stared at Seungwoo intently, and he was still there facing the door. All I can see is his back, but it seemed like he was calmer than before. I was the one who did the ghost prank, but I guess I got pranked by the ghost instead.
"Kim Seungwoo," I slowly approached him and tapped his shoulder. "Did the ghost do that?"
Fear was suddenly creeping up. He was still silent, and all I could see was the back of his head and his prominent jawline. The air conditioner suddenly went really cold, it was supposed to generate heat because of the cold season. Seungwoo slowly turned around, his dimples were now unseen, he was wearing a poker face. He simply stared at me as nothing happened.
"Hey," I tapped his shoulders again. "Answer me, please?"
He was staring at my face for a few seconds until it seemed like something behind me caught his eyes. His eyes widened as he tried to point out something behind me using his trembling left hand. His eyes described something he shouldn't have seen, and as if I was hypnotized, I turned around to look at where he was pointing out. 
 I felt scared. I scanned everything that appears in my sight but saw nothing. Everything was in the same place. I couldn't see any shadow or any soul. All I could see were the tables, the chairs, and the air conditioner. For some unknown reason, I felt really scared. Chills ran down my spine as if all of my senses awakened. Every time I hear the hissing sound of the air conditioner, I got the shivers again, this time with the little goosebumps on my arms that appear when I get that sensation.
I turned to look at him again.
"Got ya," he grinned, showing off his dimples playfully, and stuck out his tongue. "I got ya, Suji."
For some unknown reason, I had the urge to kill this handsome man who has the most beautiful dimples right in front of me.

"Did you get scared?" Seungwoo asked as he tried to tuck his seat into the desk. I am standing in front of him, near the whiteboard as we have compromised that I should present all of the chosen quotes before he recommends a place that we will visit.
"Do you want a beating?" I replied nonchalantly as I crossed my arms and legs, trying to express annoyance all over my body. "Let's start to do business now, we want to end this OT before lunch, right?"
"Yes, Miss Li." The playfulness in his voice disappeared as he put on his poker-face. 
I started my PowerPoint presentation with some of the quotes that caught my attention when I was proofreading the book. My laptop was just beside the projector on the table. I got a whiteboard marker in my pencil case and started emphasizing the five quotes that were shown on the screen.
"How should we emphasize that one," He started to get serious as he was observing all of the quotes being presented, "You can't choose your parents and most variables in your life. There are only two things that you can choose and that is your job, and your partner. Think carefully and love yourself while choosing what is best for you."
"Hmm, what do you suggest?" I looked at him in the eye, trying to find some ideas from him.
"What about a happy couple on the beach?" He paused and thought for a few seconds, his left hand was clutching his chin. "And a person doing the most enjoyable job in the world,"
"What would be that most enjoyable job in the world?" I asked as my head tilted towards the right.
"I don't know yet," He smirked, almost resembling that of a snort. "We have to go to the streets to find it out. You know, we should capture the most real emotion that we can find wherever it is."
"Okay," I started to write them on the whiteboard. "I'll take note of that."
"I mean, as a photographer and designer," He started rambling. "We should always prioritize the raw and purest emotion we can find to make the book more relatable--"
"Yes, yes," I replied abruptly.
"Are you trying to ignore me because you got scared with my prank earlier?"
"Well, partly, I guess?" I replied. "I mean, how can you joke around like that? You shouldn't have been a designer/photographer, you should have been an actor in this life. You deserve a Grammy award,"
"Thank you so much," He gave me a lopsided grin, stood up, and clapped. "I am so handsome and good at acting, I could have majored in the Theatre Arts Department,"
I crinkled my nose as a response, "Yes, yes, your majesty. Stop getting ahead of yourself now, okay?"
"Isn't it funny that your prank failed and you got pranked instead?" He teased me again, showing off that playful grin and his dimples. "Sorry, I am not scared of ghosts or anything so you failed big time.
I felt a vein might pop if we continue this conversation. Lesson learned, don't ghost prank others if you get scared of ghosts yourself. But I mean, I am not that scared of ghosts, the situation was just really scary.
"I am curious about how the door slammed when you were near me, and why were the lights flickering so much?"
"I don't know," He shrugged. "I didn't know why. I told you that there's a ghost here in the meeting room, right?"
Goodness, gracious. Why would I be scared of a ghost when I am not a normal being myself? I am a mermaid, for goodness sake, I am acquainted with sea witches, fishes, sirens, and I am sure that the world does not limit only to those beings.

"Is my fate already written according to the stars or do I create my own destiny?"

Li Suji only has one hundred days before she turns twenty-five, and that also means she only has one hundred days left to find her reincarnated prince. She has no clue about the said man aside from the fact that she'll find him working at the Seo Publishing Company, and that the reincarnated prince will also have the same birthmark as she has, the mermaid's tail binds them together as the fated couple. She managed to enter the company as a trainee editor on probation as she heard through connections. Chaos arrives when she got tied with two CEO's at the same time. Will she be able to break her curse and make the reincarnated prince fall in love with her in this current life?

A scene suddenly came right through my eyes, as if it was directly right in front of me. This time, I was aware that I was not experiencing it firsthand though it still happened from my point of view. I was there, tending someone, probably a man. I was unbuttoning two buttons in his shirt because he was sweating too much. I was holding a wet towel in my hand and started to wipe his neck using it.

"It tickles, why are you wiping my body so lightly?" The man asked, it seemed like a very familiar voice but I couldn't pinpoint who. I wasn't looking at the man since I was so preoccupied with looking at his perfectly sculpted body. "You shouldn't be doing that, no-no, you should do it the hard way."

"H-huh??" The hard way?

"Yes, should I do it instead?" He sat up, unbuttoned his shirt, took my hand, and guided me to wipe his neck down to his chest, abdomen, navel until his pelvis, "You should do it like this, okay?"

As I was trying to hide the embarrassment of touching his body---I was touching the man's body with a towel, something caught my attention. Lower than his navel but the upper right side of his pelvis, I saw a mermaid's tail's fin. I scooted over, held the garter of his pants, and pulled it downwards.

Voila. It was the mermaid's tail. Perfectly the same as mine. He's the one that I am looking for. I don't doubt it. I am one hundred percent sure! He's the reincarnated prince that I am looking for, for so long.

The man grabbed my hand and made me look at his face. Sadly, I couldn't see who he was clearly. "What are you doing to a sick man's house, not to mention pulling his pants? Do you want to get yourself in trouble?"


Yes, that's right.


I'm already in trouble.

This story focuses on the reality of the workplace setting (office romance), slice-of-life, rom-com with tiny bits of fantasy elements. The setting is in modern-day Korea, I am not a Korean native so there might be some things that are not 100% accurate nor does it reflect the society and the country alone.

The story focuses on character development and how the main characters grow in terms of love and life, has cliche and is a slow burn romance.

This story is not suitable for the young and innocent one's. Don't read this if you're not capable of reading this.

When there is something to do, time flies by - a proverb. For the first few days, I settled into the castle, putting Hermione on my tail. The girl initially showed resistance but gave up on the argument that it is necessary to know precisely the place where you plan to live for another seven years. Therefore, she fought with her desire to sit in the library. We walked around the castle most of our free time. Drawing up an approximate plan in our head without considering various secret corridors and other things - we did not know them.
      Percy Weasley quite often left the freshmen on their own, rather than escorting them to the offices, as he should. Therefore, the guys were often late for the first classes, but we were not because we already knew where to go.
The classes themselves were nothing special. McGonagall was strict and immediately proved herself to be the guardian of rules and discipline. She gave a lot of theory and magic formulas for memorizing and only then moved on to practice. For the almost complete transformation of a match into a needle in the first lesson, Hermione received points because, although imperfect, she is the first to achieve a result. After a couple of minutes, I performed a complete transformation, using willpower and detailing the visual transformation process, but I got half the score.
The charms lesson with Professor Flitwick was interesting. The professor himself, a short man in a black tailcoat and green robe turned out to be quite cheerful and optimistic, often brightening up a boring theory with stories from life. It does not matter - fictional or not. In the classroom, we learned different movements, their components, wrote down the magic theory, which never revealed its essence or work mechanism. But we recorded and taught.
During Potions making, Professor Snape was serious and formidable, bombarded Potter with questions, did not talk about safety. Preparing ingredients and brewing a potion was more like preparing food, but there were some nuances. Suppose you carefully monitor the cauldron's situation and the reaction to stirring. In that case, we can conclude that everything is individual for each wizard. If Hermione needs to stir it two times clockwise to bring the potion to a specific state, then for me - a little less, a tenth turn. It is interesting. And yes, Neville blew up the cauldron, but there were no casualties besides him. The professor sent the whimpering guy to the hospital wing and took points from Potter. Why? Because he could. I understand that. Fuck them and the intrigue around the guy - I need to learn.
And I studied. Herbology is a magic garden with all that it implies. In addition to gardening, this lesson can help you gain knowledge about specific properties of plants that are not described in books on potions in the section on compatibility and properties of ingredients.
      Astronomy is astronomy. Everything is in the title of the lesson. Celestial bodies and their movements in the sky are studied.
      The History of magic is the monotonous muttering of the ghost of Professor Beans. Everything he tells is literally written in the textbook, and a constant topic of lectures is the goblin uprisings.
      A subject like Defense Against the Dark Arts was no less farce than History. Especially when you consider Quirrell - a stutter, always stinking of garlic and a slight cadaveric smell that for some reason no one can smell. He, like Beans, decided that quoting the textbook was a great idea! Here I disagree, but what can I do?
Even the first lesson of flying on brooms did not interest me, mainly because we didn't have a chance to fly - Neville still fell off his broomstick. Malfoy provoked Potter, and the latter eventually became a catcher on the faculty Quidditch team. But this is a big secret that, perhaps, everyone knows about.
Hermione and I don't get involved in anything at all. At first, the girl was shocked that no one wants to study. Everyone is just having fun and looking for adventure and trouble. I, if you dig a little deeper, by and large, do not care. Still, her irrepressible energy, aimed at bringing order to the faculty's chaos, causes an adverse reaction. So I decided to talk to her about this.
We sat in the far corner of the library, finishing our Transfiguration homework.
      - Listen, Hermione ...
      - Yes? - the girl put the last point in the parchment and set the writing materials aside, looked at me.
      - Do you have to always correct and help everyone in everything when they don't ask?
      - Of course! After all, if the guys are doing something wrong, you definitely need to tell and show how it should be - she nodded significantly.
      - Don't you notice that nobody likes it?
      The girl frowned at me defiantly.
      - What do you mean?
      - Don't be offended, but you are considered an incredible nerd and boring.
      - Really?
And where does she get so much confidence in my words?
      - Yeah. If somebody asked for help, then it's okay. Otherwise, you only put yourself in a bad light.
      - But the faculty are losing points, and this is unacceptable! Hermione spoke softly but with such emotion as if she was about to scream. I, as always in such cases, involuntarily smiled.
      - And why do we need these points, competitions, cups, and so on? It won't even be noted in the personal file, I found out. This is senseless competition and enmity of faculties out of the blue. And do not be eager to answer that way at every lesson. Well, I mean, just raise your hand calmly if you want to. Half of the teachers don't ask you because they already understood that Granger knows everything. But they also need to work with other guys to see how they can formulate their thoughts. Can I have your essay?
The girl began to think over my words and pushed the essay in my direction, and I plunged into reading this opus, which is at least three times more than mine. A bunch of quotes and just a couple of lines of her own conclusions. It's sad. I returned the parchment to Hermione.
      - Hermione... Tell me why you again quoted everything from the textbooks and that couple of books we took the other day?
      - But there is so much you can write ...
      - And it doesn't make sense at all. Teachers hardly want to see clippings from books because understanding the subject is much more critical. We've already talked about this.
From that day on, we started studying thoroughly. Hermione struggled to formulate her own thoughts and conclusions on paper. I severely rejected her quotes. The girl sulked, puffed, but regularly overcame life's difficulties. Having thought about it, I came up with an exercise for her. Describe your thoughts about a paragraph of text without quoting or using terminology. Use only the information in front of her, only simple everyday words. But I, to some extent, got it from her. It turned into a kind of organizer that always reminded me of the most different tasks we face for the day. What cannot be taken away from her is her incredible ability to rationalize available time. At the same time, she is quite capable of taking into account the interests and needs of another person. But idleness is not for her. And not for me. Perhaps that is why there was no conflict of interest?

It is enough just to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whether a series of accidents, or a coincidence, but now I have to be reborn in a completely different world.
A forced entity that controls the flows of souls in one of the branches of the worlds, contrary to its desire and dislikes for "anomalies", is obliged to give out powers and bonuses - these are the rules.
What will life be like for someone who was not destined to survive?

A couple weeks ago I turned 30. Leading up to my birthday I wrote a post on what I learned in my 20s.

But I did something else. I sent an email out to my subscribers and asked readers age 37 and older what advice they would give their 30-year-old selves. The idea was that I would crowdsource the life experience from my older readership and create another article based on their collective wisdom.

The result was spectacular. I received over 600 responses, many of which were over a page in length. It took me a solid three days to read through them all and I was floored by the quality of insight people sent.

So first of all, a hearty thank you to all who contributed and helped create this article.

While going through the emails what surprised me the most was just how consistent some of the advice was. The same 5-6 pieces of advice came up over and over and over again in different forms across literally 100s of emails. It seems that there really are a few core pieces of advice that are particularly relevant to this decade of your life.

Below are 10 of the most common themes appearing throughout all of the 600 emails. The majority of the article comprises dozens of quotes taken from readers. Some are left anonymous. Others have their age listed.

"I'm sorry what did you say again? Felix has what?"
"He's gone, reduced into atoms."
"Wow, very funny," I replied in sarcasm.
"Sounded funny to me. So as I've said, Felix is moving out tomorrow. The kid went on crack and decide to migrate to another country with Yyanne and Vincent."
"Oh, I see. Well, man. They sure are brave."
"Yeah, but those kids will be fine. They've got each other and it's not like they won't get any support from their parents."
"Hmm. So are they going to stay there for good?" I then asked while pouring myself some hot coffee.
"No idea. All they were they're going to finish their studies there."
"Is that so?" I said and gently blew my coffee before taking a sip. "Poor Jace, left alone by his siblings."
He laughed. "Nah! It's great actually. Now, I no longer need to stay in that freaking apartment. I have the whole house for me-self."
I shook my head. "Well, that's good. Your mom will still have some accompany."
"Yup, she was actually reluctant to let the kids go, especially Yyanne, but you know them. They'll always persist."
Hearing that brought me back to our childhood. I remember Jace and her siblings coming to our house to play with us. We would play until dawn on our little playground that dad had built us. Yyanne would even cry and insist to stay at our place when Mrs. Garcia comes to pick them up. Good old times. 
"So anyway, I got to go now," Jace said cutting me off from my thoughts. 
"Oh, sure."
"Say, you don't have any plans this afternoon, do you?"
I pondered for a bit and checked the calendar on the wall near me. April 4. "Nah, I don't. Why?"
"Perfect. I'll pick you up at your place at three. Let's hangout."
My eyebrows raised and my lips curved into a smile. "Ho-ho-ho. Hangout, huh? And just the two us?"
"Exactly. It's been a while since we last went out."
Well, now that I think about it. It sure has been quite a while now.
Knowing that I don't have anything worthwhile to do anyway, I said yes.
At school…
"Lenora."
I shuddered upon hearing someone call me by my full name. I quickly turned around and there I Ryan smiling at me.
"H-Hey," I stuttered. I don't know, hearing him say my name felt kind of different. Well, not in a bad way.
"So do you have the thing?"
I raised the folder I'm holding. "Right here." Today's the submission of the research thingy and I'm confident that we'll get a pretty high score, maybe even a perfect score actually.
He gave me a thumbs-up. "Great. Come on, let's get inside." He then went ahead and opened the door for me.
I went inside and secretly smiled because of his kind gesture. 
Almost twenty minutes passed and our teacher is still not popping out. After a while, the door creaked open.
Finally...
But I was wrong, it was not our teacher but Jace. He poked his head inside and his eyes immediately went on my way. I raised my eyebrows at him questioningly. He beckoned me to come over.

"Did your teacher leave?" he asked when I got close.
"Nope, he hasn't even entered yet," I answered and close the door behind me. "So what is it?"
He scratched the back of his head and looked bothered. "Well about our plan this afternoon…"
"What about it?" I asked, still clueless about what he wants to say.
"I—I'm afraid I can't come. They gave us a lot of work in the office so we had to work 'till noon."
Oh, I thought it was something else. I shrugged. "Well, it's okay. It's no big deal."
"Th-thanks, but I promise next time I'll treat you to a five-star restaurant."
I crossed my arms. "Are you sure about that?"
He raised his right hand and swore. "Yup. I solemnly swear."
"Fine, fine. I'll be looking forward to that. Now go, today's your defense, right?"
His eyes widened upon the sudden realization. "Shoot! I nearly forgot. I—'ll go ahead then. I'm really sorry about that, Laura."
"We're cool. Good luck with your defense!"
"Thanks, babe!" he said and laughed as he sprinted away leaving me speechless.
Babe. Sheesh.	

"Was that Jace?" asked Ryan when I got back inside.
"Yup, apparently our 'date' is canceled," I answered with air quotes.
He chuckled. "Oh."
"Uhm, what is your relationship with Jace if you don't mind me asking? Are you like just friends or do you have something—"
"Oh no, no, no," I snickered. "Me and Jace? We're just close friends."
"I—I see. That's good then." 
I don't know what he meant by that but anyway…
"I can't even imagine us actually going out together as a couple," I continued. The mere thought of it is enough to make me grimace. 
Though, now that I think about it. I wonder when will that guy plan to get himself a girl. I'm pretty sure he had already moved on from his ex by now.
"Hey, Ryan."
He turned around. "Yeah?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?" 
"Nope. I don't. Never had one yet," he immediately answered, more like eagerly actually.
I just nodded in response. "For you, what do you think is the right time or age to be in a relationship? 
"Sorry if I'm asking such things so suddenly. I'm just a little bored you see," I immediately explained after. It seems our teacher isn't coming anyway.
"Nah, it's fine. I'm a bit bored too actually," he answered. "Well, about that. I think there isn't really the right time. An appropriate age? Yes, there is. But the right time? I don't think so. I believe it just comes randomly."
"Fair point. But for me, I think the 'right time' does exist" I said making air quotes again. "I mean, as you've said it comes randomly, right?  That means the moment you met that person must be considered the right time then, right?"
"Fair point. But for me, I think the 'right time' does exist" I said making air quotes again. "I mean, as you've said it comes randomly. Then that means the moment you met that person must be considered the right time then, right?"
He nodded. "Makes sense. Though I think what you're talking about is when you'll be able to find the one," he said and I smiled when he also did the air quotes. "You wouldn't know if that person is actually the one you'll be settling with right away. Who knows, you'll eventually break-up because it turns out he or she is apparently not the one for you."
"Wow. You sure do know a lot about this stuff. Now I doubt if you really never had a girlfriend before?" 
"Nah. I swear, I never had any experience," he chuckled. "I just got those from books, films, and other stuff."
"Ah, no wonder." 
"You can learn a thing or two from them I guess."
"Well, that's the reason why they make them. They want to convey a message to their audience. It could be about life, school, work… love."
"Say, Laura?"
"Yes," I said, still staring in front.
"What would you feel if a guy tells you that he likes you?"
I faced him. "You mean like a friend?"
"No. As a woman.," he said. His eyes went on mine which made me froze for a second.
Feeling a little uneasy, I looked away. "A-as a woman, huh?"
"Yes."
"I… I don't know. I mean, naturally, I'd be shocked."
"Okay. Thanks for answering."
Hearing that gave me relief especially when he looked away. Sheesh. This guy sure caught me off guard with that one.
Though as I've said, I'd be shocked if a guy would confess in front of me. Not to mention it'll be my first time to experience such a thing if it does happen. 
Time went fast and it was finally time to go home. And Thanks God It's Friday. I can finally sleep without being disturbed by my 6:30 alarm in the morning.
I decided to find someplace first so I decided to take another exit that which is nearer to the food stalls and restos. 
I was on my way to the other building when I ran across two familiar faces. Well, well, well. If it isn't the nephews of the Academic Director.
A smile appeared on their face upon seeing me. 
"Sup, Laura," said Blane and beside him was Daniel waving his hand at me.
"Hi, I'm on my way to grab some lunch. I didn't know you have classes in the afternoon."
"Every Friday, yes," answered Robert.
"I see."
"By the way, who was that guy I saw with you before in the cafeteria yesterday, if you don't mind me asking?" asked Daniel.
Yesterday? Oh, it must have been Ryan.
"Uh some friend," I briefly answered. Blaine looks convinced but judging by the way Daniel grinned after hearing that, I already know what he is thinking. "Oh please Daniel, he is just a friend."
The jerk laughed. "What? I didn't say anything."
"Whatever. It's not like that."
"If you say so," he said but I can still see him grinning.
"But that's good. Make new friends too or else everyone will really think that something is going on between you and Jace again.
Ah, that indeed reminds me during the time everyone believed Jace and I were together, not to mention Mrs. Garcia had a lot to do about it because even she herself thought and told people that Jace was courting me. Rumors then spread like wildfire and voila! Everyone believed it. I can't even count how many times I had explained to people that we weren't especially to my parents. I received an earful from them because of that especially since were just like sixteen or seventeen during that time.
"That would be another hell of a pain in the neck if that happens." I then glared at them and pointed at their faces. Now don't go spreading rumors or else, especially you Daniel"
He quickly threw his hands in the air. "Yo chill, girl. We won't."
"Good."
After we said our goodbyes and gave them a couple of threats of mine, I went on my way. I picked up the pace when I was already near the exit for I am really starving now.
The warm sunlight greeted me as soon as I stepped out of the shadows of the building. It didn't take me long to choose where I want to eat. Fast food rule! While I was eating, I remembered my conversation with the two guys a while ago.
I wonder if Ryan has gone home already? He and his group should be finished with their presentation by now. 
Thankfully, I didn't have to wait for hours in line. After paying for my food, I went upstairs to go to my usual spot beside the glass wall. I was in luck because no one has occupied it yet, so I didn't waste any second and walked straight towards the spot. 
From here I can clearly see the people and vehicles going around the city as well as the well-known city park nearby. In the middle of the park was a lake where a lot of people can be seen rowing the colorful boats they rented. It seems the fountain isn't on though. I checked the time and it was still 12:30. 
No wonder, they close it at twelve and open it again at three in the afternoon. The lake could use a little bit of cleaning though. It's been a while since they did so.
After a while, I was in the middle of taking off a fiber of meat stuck between my teeth when my phone lying on the table notified me. I took a peek and it was a message from Ryan.
With a quick swipe, I unlocked the phone and read the message.
"WE GOT A PERFECT SCORE! LOLOLOLOL," it said.
"Okay…," I answered as If I wasn't impressed just to tease.
My phone chimed a few seconds after I sent that.
"Come on. A simple "Congratulation, you're so cool" would suffice."
Reading that put a smile on my face. "Okay…" I just answered again and then I received a sad emoji followed by an angry face which made me laugh.
I can already imagine that annoyed look on his face. "You angry?" I typed with an innocent face emoji.
"LOLOLOL NO. 
Where are you anyway?" he said.
"Take a guess."
"In the toilet, eating your lunch?"
"Eww, no way!"
"Haha. Just kidding. But seriously, where are you rn?"
"McWillie's. Was craving for their chicken. And if your fast enough, you could still get some fires."
"LOL No thanks. I'm already stuffed. Robert treated us for lunch."
"Is that so? Luck you then, that guy is filthy rich."
"Sure is. He ordered a lot of stuff. A little waste of money though, since we weren't able to eat everything they've placed on our table."
"Aww. Says the guy who spends a fortune for his fancy clothes."
"My clothes don't even look fancy at all," he answered and spammed some laughing emojis.
"But still expensive."
"Well, I can't lie about that."
"Anyway, I better get out of here already so…ttyl?"
"Sure, sure. Later," He answered with a flying kiss emoji which made me laugh.

[REWORKING]

For the past couple weeks I have been getting love letters on my desk before I get into class. The letters were from Lucy. They make me happy and are the only way I am coping with being bullied.
Lucy's letters had compliments, quotes, and questions for me in them. I wanted to write back to her and let her know that I wanted her letters and cherished every word she said to me, even if it wasn't spoken aloud. I most love when she calls me 'pumpkin'. It makes my heart swell.
Today, I decided to tell her how I feel and get the anticipation of it off of my shoulders, I don't know exactly how it'll go , but I have to at least make it clear to her that I am looking with interest, not some tease.

As astronomy class ended, I hurried over to Lucy.
"Hey, Lucy!"
"Maeve!"
"So, I really wanted to let you know something. If you're okay with that?"
"For sure! WHat is it?"
"I have been loving these letters…"
"I'm happy you do, Pumpkin."
"I wanted you to know that I am into you and I want to let you decide, when you're ready. I hope that's okay?"
"It is okay! I'll make sure to let you know that I am interested, but I want to surprise you."
"Surprise?"
"Yup! I have to go, next tuesday?" She winked.
"Yeah! I'll be here.

Lucy left the direction of her car, leaving me alone with my flustered thoughts. Now I am very much anticipating what she meant.
I went down to me car and got a text from my friend, courtney.
"Come hang! I have time."
I decided that I wanted to, and probably spill about Lucy.
"Sounds good to me. I'm on my way!"

Follow the life of Maeve, a trans girl. Let her story show you some of the elements of what it can be like to be trans, the good and the bad. Her story contain bullying, loving, and, most of all, rising to the high road above those who seek her harm.

Within hours the revelation of Shinoda's death continuously sent shockwaves throughout the sect. However, due to this sudden change at the top of the current standings, it provided an opportunity for the current bottom seven. With there being three new available spots it stimulated a frantic rush for positions.
Blop!
A disciple fell to his knees as blood dripped from his chest, he was the previous year's #17th ranked Raul. From what could be seen of the wounds inflicted, the weapon used was evidently a large sword.
"Ok, you win. I relinquish my marker." He dejectedly spoke as his marker points had found its new owner. Yet by the look on the victor's face, it seemed her mind was elsewhere. It was Niesha, her opponent was correct as images continuously played in her mind of what unfolded earlier.
She has seen Taf kill before in Starlight City when he faced the all-powerful lord at the time. Despite this, much did not change in her mind as he kept that playful personality with a bit of seriousness. While the fellow she saw previously kill Shinoda, was so cold and distant. Honestly, Niesha could not believe it was the same person that taunted her moments prior to the act.
His words now resounded louder in her mind. Without a doubt, she and her fellow disciples were quite limited. All along she desired to win this tournament in order to truly shine, but now her eyes were fully opened. 
'I want to be stronger but will I do whatever it takes?" She questioned herself over and over again.
While lingering in her thought a red flair exploded in the air. It was not only Niesha who saw the explosion but everyone remaining inside the forest. This was the signal that only ten prevailed inside and the preliminaries were now concluded.
As all stared at the above flair, in their minds, it was symbolic of something far removed from a simple end to events. There was now an overwhelming drive to becoming stronger and surpassing what they previously thought was the limits to their potentials. Whether it be Jason, Barthelemu, Niesha, and even Rita, in their eyes their present self was not satisfactory.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
When they all arrived outside of the forest there was a sea of disciples. As soon as the last person exited there were only exasperated sighs of disappointment. While those before the masses shook their head dejectedly, others still sought to get a look.
Alas, no, the two were not amongst the new arrivals. Even Jason was seemingly another face in the crowd as they glanced passed him. Yet Jason understood it all, it was indeed warranted as compared to those two, he was well outside his element.
Of course, they all had gathered to see Sir Mouse and his companion Silver-hair May, or what appeared to be a quite popular alias, Lady May. It was quite evident the masses did not share the same sentiments as the elders. With this, Taf and May became overwhelming celebrities unlike any before them.
They both had their own fanbase spanning tens of thousands screaming their names. Some disciples had hurried written quotes from Sir Mouse on the back of their shirts, blouses and dresses. This was reminiscent of Taf's own actions with Sir Mouse written on his back in bold lettering. There were quotes such as:
"Defier of all things - Sir Mouse"
"Why so weak?- Sir Mouse"
"Call me Sir Mouse."
"Hopefully Sir Mouse's Second Wife."
"My name is Tafari, but only my friends call me Taf- Sir Mouse."
These were but a few snippets as hundreds more could be seen.
As for May, there were not many spoken quotes, so most were based on her personal traits. Her foes only knew her for wearing a cold gaze reminiscent of her ice and water techniques, as she wasn't outspoken as Taf before battles. Yet her fandom was no less in numbers to Taf. Many cliques of females wore tops with phrases such as:
"Ice Queen - Silver-Haired May."
"One woman team - Silver-Haired May."
"What is a King without his queen?[1] - Silver -Haired May."
It seems the two had become the personal goals of all disciples within the sect. Even those who lost money were laughing. After all, now they had stories they could proudly tell anyone who cared to listen. Thus in comparison to a lifetime of tales, the loss of a few thousand stones was minuscule on the grander scale.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
From one of the numerous restaurants with a view, the rest of Squad Malgrey looked on at the masses gathered in the distance. Overnight they too had become huge celebrities, this was all due to their association with the power couple.
After news broke of Shinoda's death, they had to hurriedly depart having now become the main focus of everyone. It was as if they were the go-to source for all information May and Taf related. It didn't matter how minuscule or private a topic might be there was someone who asked a question surrounded it. How could they answer personal questions which no one but Taf and May could answer?
"Would Sir Mouse be open to other female relations?" One of Taf's fanatics previously boldly asked of Ava.
What the hell kind of question was that to ask someone? What made Ava truly infuriated was that the girl who asked was seemingly insinuating she had some improper relations with Taf. Ava then had to be dragged from the scene after nearly beating the girl to a pulp.
"I never knew the sect was full of so many weirdos until today."
Ava spoke as she drank some liquor which was previously ordered. To her side, Selena apparently was having a ball as she continuously regaled the tale to Ava's dissatisfaction. Even Malnor took the time to tease her.
While having their fun an innocent-looking waitress came over with the bill. There was evident excitement as she saw the group, these patrons were related to Sir Mouse and Lady May after all. A bit flustered she uttered,
"Good day customers, It is my pleasure to advise that your meals and liquor are all on the house. All that my bosses require is the signature of Sir Mouse. Please eat and drink to your heart's content."
With her statement, three more waitresses came with a huge platter. Seeing this, eyes opened up in glee, this was a rare occasion as only a few elites have ever been bestowed such privileges.
"Has anyone gotten ahold of either Taf or May?" Selena inquired. They didn't even witness the two exiting the forest after their disqualification.
"I previously called Taf but the mere mention of food oddly caused him to make puking sounds. I don't know how it happened but it appears he and May are violently ill after a meal. They might be out of commission for a while."
As Malgrey spoke some members who began gleefully eating had a sudden loss of appetite.
"I wonder when the tribunal will convene? The two are facing some serious charges and expulsion is a possibility."
Malnor changed the topic somewhat which caused them to pause for a bit. These past months have been a rollercoaster with the two around. If not for them, everyone at the table would be dead without a doubt.
Not only that, they brought a certain spark, not being as aloof as persons outside of the group might think. If anything they were the most grounded of all the members.
"Expulsion? Pssh, my brother would only laugh at their attempts. You'll see him in action. He and May are too valuable for the sect to dare let go."
Maybe he was in denial but Lovren firmly backed Taf to come out of the tribunal victorious. Though he might not want to admit it and claims to be Taf's number one rival. In some ways, he was Taf's number one fan.
Cameron then joined the fray saying, "Well truthfully they could possibly have a case lined out. It isn't beyond Taf's limits and I firmly believe if he desires to win they will surely get a fight. Plus don't forget that May is quite cunning as well."
Haha!
"Well from what I know of the fellow, it would definitely be a show if he contests the charges brought against them." Responded Malgrey as he gulped down a pint of cold liquor.
As they spoke Lovren looked up in excitement as he saw Sheila had entered the restaurant. This was another reason he couldn't stay mad at Taf, if it were not for him, Sheila would never be his.
He hurriedly excused himself as the table teased him incessantly. Lovren then excited greeted,
"Hi beautiful, I've missed you." Normally this would garner a smile from Sheila but Lovren noticed she acted awkwardly after the statement.
"What's wrong? Are you ill?" He questioned with a bit of concern. Sheila sighed as she motioned with her hand for Lovren to take a seat at an empty table. Realizing this must be serious, he then ventured with her to the back of the restaurant where they could talk. This became a bit concerning for him. Normally Sheila was so talkative but for some reason, she became a bit distant.
Sheila then asked a question which caused Lovren to become lost for words as it was from nowhere,
"When the sun sets leaving the last bit of radiance hidden in the clouds, what inspirational thoughts does it bring, Lovren?"
Unedited Version
To be continued....
[1] I literally just remember quotes of statuses etc. 


"Call me God and I will treat you as a benevolent servant worthy of blessings. Say I am the Devil and I will drench your world in blood and despair." 

These were the words spoken by Sir Mouse as a thousand enemies surrounded him.

From his youth he could only look up to the heavens, but just as all his enemies before, It is now under his feet quivering.

If so be the case, why would he care what The Gods' Decree?

Gods or Devils it matters not. As they too will have to call him by the only name they dare to utter, Sir Mouse.

His path is to be one that is unhindered by any shackles and he intend to keep it that way.

Will you join him on this journey to becoming the existence who is forbidden?

At the start of 6th grade, I'm in a new environment. I'm a 10 yr old city boy who has the thickest accent of a province boy. My new classmates were amazed on how I talk and often times they laugh at me. Yes, I'm already about 5 feet and 3 inches that time (quite big for a kid my age) but still acts as a 7 yr old boy. I just dont care what they say, I dont mind what they think. Im just happy to ask my Mom if she can buy me that Nintendo game and play Mario. My other uncle, Ted, will pick me up on Fridays after school and spend the weekends with my Dad and Grandmom. Sunday afternoon, Mom will pick me up or Uncle Ted will take me back to mom. That is how my life evolved for until I learned to commute by myself. And im not even a teenager yet. 

By the age of 10, I already tasted alcohol. My dad is what they call alcoholic and smokes 2 packs of cigarettes daily. One time, he asked me to buy him a pack of cigarette and I tried to light one and I just couldn't stop coughing. Teary eyed too. Since my dad's siblings are all boys, booze are common in our house. Boys night out everyday with them. They let me taste beer with the reason, its always better to learn to drink with family rather than others without consent and guidance. Maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. Who cares, right? When Christmas and especially, New Year comes, I am always excited. Super excited. Family reunion is a thing for us and seeing them all together, with my Mom there also, was great. My Dad works as a legal arbiter for the province and since he has many connections, fireworks and such are always aplenty with us. They give us so many fireworks for free that they are having a hard time finding what to do to those things. Its like having a fireworks shop in our house during New Year. I would sneak up some firecrackers and give them away to my friends, to look cool of course. Just so you guys know, one of my fears is lighting any kind of firecracker. I'm afraid to use one. I just love looking at those things 

I bought 1 bottle of whisky, bought some crackers, and cooked some nasty "sisig" and watched a movie last New Year. My friends from highschool, from Bulacan, Bicol, Cavite, all greeted me and my family with Happy New Year and Merry Christmas quotes (Yes, quotes, with some memes and GIFS) and I blew a horn and jumped a couple of times (Yes, I do that every year since I was s kid) when new year arrived. And I was a little drunk also. That was also the same the past 4 yrs, although with different cracker and finger foods as well. Oh well...

I tried playing basketball in the 6th grade since I love it but I'm not as good as I thought I was. I'm akward. The school still got me to play for the team only because I was a little bigger than my classmates were, but I wasn't good enough to be part of the starting five. I was a bench player. And I'm so homesick. Anyway, the only consolation for me at that time was the Mall, a very big mall at that time, and I was there almost everyday. It's like a 10 minunte drive from our apartment and Mom would always have the time to take me there, and my sister as well whenever she is with us. 

But still, whenever I went to the province during weekends, I love the scent and the atmosphere there compared to the busy streets of the city. On my Mom's side, I have 2 boy cousins and they are really doing well in school. In fact, both have academic awards for excellence and they are such good boys. No vices at all. They don't even drink. Maybe because their mom, my Auntie, is a school teacher and a disciplinarian. Who knows, right? Anyway, since I was on my way to 1st year high, where do I want to go? By the way, I forgot to tell you that I may have played the piano well, I'm not good in school. I might be a C+ student, maybe a C- at some subjects. One of my cousin studied at Letran College, a school for boys, and very strict on grades. He also said that if ever I choose his school, he will look after me. It is also located a few meters from my Mom's office. 

Steve, my bestfriend, told me that our friends from grade school asks if I would be going back there since there is a basketball team being made by the school. I'm tall and said that my chances to be part of the team might be bigger since we are still growing. Besides, this is my home and my family and friends are here. My friends persuaded me to return but I just realized that who will provide for me when I am here? If I am going to stay here, what will Mom say and feel? Didn't we just went through with that stupid attorney? And also, I just found out something with my Dad which tore my heart into pieces.
