“I know if I confess my feelings, it may ruin our friendship. However, I’ve finally decided to because with every second that passes by, I fall for you even more. So, all I want to do right now is to tell you my feelings, how you just existing in my life makes my world light up, and how much I love you” - Mason

Here’s the first part/ introduction to my first chapter in a story I’m writing (I’m posting this because I haven’t posted in a while and I feel like it)

Lily hears a notification and fishes out her phone from her bag to check it immediately. It's only a text. She reads it before staring at it, her eyebrow raised. She turns it off and shoves it in her bag, as if it were a mere toy.

Her bag on her lap, she sits on the root of a palm tree, the leaves blocking the sun's rays and she contemplates the text. A cool breeze hits her which calms her, and she looks at the view in front of her; mesmerized by it.

The air is awash with scents of salt and sand capable of bringing anyone to ease. The soothing sound of the waves colliding with the wet sand on the beach is like a beautiful melody playing in the breeze. She admires her surroundings and even to the fluffy clouds in the sky, enjoying the gentle breeze as it blows her hair to and fro.

But even then, Lily can't get her mind off of the message she just read. She grips her bag as she grits her teeth, only one question popping in her head over and over again. What is up with him?

(I’ll be posting the first paragraphs of each chapter in my story from now on)

When I got back with Klaus, I didn't know what to think about my family's home being destroyed.

"Jade, I'm so sorry," he apologized, his sincere gaze meeting mine right after.

"Klaus… we have started a war," I stated. Suddenly, I saw mom come into view as she growled and pushed him out of her path. Fortunately, I pushed Klaus out of the way in time, getting hurt in the process. I never understood her hatred till when I was 18. My mother and father had told me that I would be allowed to date, but only if they were a Wolf shifter. My mother assumed that me hanging out with guys meant that I like them which was extremely wrong and just some sort of misunderstanding.

I shook my head and mustered up my sharp nails, my mom knowing full well that I had taken her actions seriously. She then frowned and walked away to wherever she had to go, not wanting to start a fight with her daughter over some boy… or a dragon. Transforming back into my human form, a smile appeared on my face once I realized my sleeves hadn’t been ruined due to changing my form. But having clothes on did feel really nice.

"Klaus," I called out as I saw a serious look on his face. He faced me, before looking at a little cut I had gotten on my neck due to my mom’s actions. Noticing he was deep in thought, I couldn’t help but glance at him, butterflies erupting in my stomach.

He was considerably handsome, his slick black hair and his beautiful black eyes fitting his demeanor. Before knowing him, I noted that he tended to appear as a cold person but was a compassionate person at heart. Maybe it’s because he cared for me that I liked him. Or maybe it’s because he treated everyone equally or there were just more reasons I liked him that I hadn’t taken notice of yet. Either way, I just couldn’t stop thinking about him. I didn’t care what my clan had to say with their ‘Don’t date or marry a dragon’ nonsense. From the nice things he had said and done to our past hangouts and to his lips, I liked him for him. At that moment, he looked up at me, catching me in the act.

“Why were you looking at me like that?” Klaus asked and I felt my cheeks burn red. I guess I’m doomed.

“…Maybe it’s because whenever I look at you, my brain seems to stop working,” I confess, my eyes focused on the ground. I didn’t know how to confess or how to scream out my feelings and it was nerve racking.

Klaus folded his arms, his eyebrows raised. “Do you… like me?” he asked as I felt his gaze on me. He really had to hit the mark, didn’t he?

A sigh escaped my lips as I thought of a response. A response that wouldn’t ruin our relationship or my relationship to my clan.

“I don’t like you, Klaus. I love you. I love you more than anything,” I explained, shutting my eyes in embarrassment. What kind of response was that since that had got to be the worst confession ever-

“I honestly never thought you’ll feel the same, Jade.” Klaus responded and it only made my heart skip a beat.

“You’re joking… right? And if you aren’t, then it means that you’ve liked me all this time?” I question, my head spinning at the thought of not realizing his feelings for me.

“I do love you but the reason for my aloofness was just… that I’m a dragon and you’re a wolf. People say we are incompatible but it didn’t stop me from liking you. However, it did stop me from thinking you’d like me back,” Klaus explained as he took his hand in mine.

A laugh escaped my mouth at his words. If only I knew he liked me, then I would’ve confessed earlier on.

“So… can I kiss you?”

*Lily’s POV*

I sing the song, asking all the possible questions; wondering if you would do them in the name of love. It’s not about you just loving me, it’s about both of us caring about each other deeply that we might even go to lengths just to be together. I know that we’re in two different worlds; where you are an heir to a wealthy business while I’m just a middle class person who hasn’t come to a conclusion of what I’ll even do when I’m older. I’ve never been outspoken in public, nor have I ever wanted to be mentioned in a rumor but if it’s for not hurting you, protecting you or keeping you safe; I’ll do it all in the name of love. Since I’ll love you for eternity.

(Inspiration from ‘In the name of love by Martin Garrick and Bebe Rexha)

“Take my hand”, Alex asks, his hand stretched out towards me.

“Alex, I’ve already made enough mistakes-”.

“Please… trust me on this one. If you do, I’ll buy you some chocolate”.

My eyes open with shock at his words, my heart going in loopty-loops. “Then what are you waiting for? Take my hand”, I insist, offering it to him.

“What about what you said earlier?” Alex questions, his eyebrow raised.

I start coughing dramatically, like there’s something caught up in my throat. Afterwards, I compose myself, thinking of the best explanation that can shock the entire universe.

“So you see… I experienced something called temporary death so I have no idea what you’re talking about”, I explain, taking his hand in mine.

A smile envelopes on his face as he begins to chuckle which soon turns into a fit of laughter.

“You ready?” he asks once he’s done with his signature smile. But dang does that mischievous look on his face make him more attractive than he already is.

“Ready”, I say as we jump from the tree we were on to his balcony and for the first time in a long time, I feel like we were back to our old ways; as friends.

(A combination of four of my characters personalities and concepts. It’s complicated yes, but it’s fun to write. Two of the characters that are featured are in an ongoing wattpad story of mine while the other two are in another that doesn’t have an ending. Basically, I’m saying I haven’t started writing it)

[arius6454]

Teresa just wants to go home after waiting tables at her part time job. Once the restaurant is closed, she helps the owner and her coworkers clean up the restaurant. They all say their goodbyes and she leaves to head home.

As she walks home, she remembers her overdue bills. At this point she’ll get kicked out of her apartment! Teresa then pulls out her phone from her pocket and reads a novel that has gotten her hooked for weeks: ‘Taming the tyrant’. Yes, the name is unique and it is an underrated novel but that is mostly what Teresa likes. Underrated novels.

The story is about a fantasy world with a tyrant. The tyrant killed everyone who made him angry in the slightest way, but that is until he meets his love interest. But previously, to gain more power, he got into a political marriage with the daughter of a duke. When he finally saw the female main character, he experienced love at first and showed her nothing but love. The only one who could make him calm down was the main love interest and it was just interesting seeing their dynamic. At the end of the novel, he kills his wife and villain: the main characters get married out of love and live happily ever after.

Rereading the story is what Teresa likes doing, since the novel is her favorite. She then walks across the pedestrian crossing, her phone still in hand. The plot of the novel is so good that she doesn’t notice her best friend running toward her.

It's truck-kun! He speeds toward Teresa and when she finally looks up from her phone, she gets hit by the truck. She lands on the floor, dropping her phone in the process. Blood trickles from her wounds, her vision getting blurry by the minute. Before help can reach her, she lays on the floor, taking in her final breaths and dying. When she dies, her hand falls close to her phone, its screen broken but the novel still showing on the screen.

Teresa opens her eyes and she realizes she’s still alive! She tries to sit up but notices her hands are small? She looks at them and finally understands her situation. Did she recairnate?

A person Teresa assumes is a maid picks her up from the crib and sings her a lullaby. Is the maid trying to make her fall asleep?

“Bianca”, the maid calls out and it takes Teresa seconds to realize the maid is calling her supposed name. But why did that name sound so familiar though? Suddenly she remembers, and opens her mouth in shock. Isn’t it Bianca? The wife of the tyrant who got killed at the end of the novel? Teresa screams in her head, realizing her situation. Reincarnating into a character in a novel that was supposed to be killed is something no one will wish for. Now she has 18 years, 18 years to change her fate, before meeting the man that kills her.

__________________________________________

The tropes used in this story are the truck-kun trope, the tyrant trope and maybe another trope that involves mostly the female main characters reincarnating into a side character in a novel (I’ve been seeing a lot of manhwas with that so it might be a trope). If you don’t know what truck-kun is, it’s a trope that happens in iseka animes, novels, manhwas, mangas or comics where a truck hits the main character, kills them and sends them to a different world. Truck-kun, our best friend mostly runs into female protagonists, hence the name. The funny thing is, the truck always looks the same, from the type and color of the truck to even the color of the shirt the driver wears. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little story.

Aren't cliches tiring to see? They're sometimes funny but mostly boring. If you want to read it on wattpad since I post more there, it will be at the button of the post. This story will be filled with genres, tropes or texts that tend to be repeated for some reasons that I do not know off so I hope you enjoy it.

Nathan runs after Lilia, his heart beating faster than ever with every step he takes.

"Let me explain, he says, grabbing Lilia's arm.

She yanks his hand off hers, tears running down her face.

"Don't! How could you be on a date with another woman? So you really don't love me?"

She begins to sob and Nathan just stands there. The woman is a co-worker he met during work hours and they were just meeting for business purposes. He doesn't even know anything about her!

"I knew it! I kept asking you why you came home late and that explains it all", Lilia says while crying her out.

"Please, Lilia! I love you more than anything" Nathan says, trying his best for her to listen to him. He only came home late because he had extra work to do. He works as a civil servant in an administrative service but he sometimes finishes his work late but still tries to come back home early.

"I loved you okay? I loved you but I guess it was one sided all along", she sobs.

Nathan then tries to calm her down but Lilia does nothing but continue to ignore him and let her pitiful tears run down her face. Couldn't she take a chill pill?

"Let me explain", he says, taking her arm again.

Lilia looks at him and wipes her tears with her other hand, "I don't need an explanation".

"Please let me explain", he begs. He will do anything for her to not break up with him.

"Why did you cheat on me?" she finally asks.

"Let me explain..."

"Was it my body, my face, my hair?" she interrupts, rambling on about the possibilities.

Nathan sighs, fumbling with his hair, "Let me explain..."

"Fine", Lilia says, crossing her arms. "Then explain".

He takes a few deep breaths and composes himself: wanting to explain as much of the truth as he can.

"...I can explain".

Little notes

I wrote this for fun and because I seriously get annoyed with this. Some stories are even based on misunderstandings but it takes a lot of chapters for it to be resolved. This story is based on misunderstandings and not being straightforward but I think the only thing I've read or watched that used this trope well is the manga and anime 'Komi can't communicate'. It was well written and I enjoyed watching it. This is also the ‘I can’t explain’ meme so I hope you liked it.

A random fanfiction I wrote even though I don’t stan idols. I got inspired by halziias so you may check out their wonderful posts.

Y/N walks with her best friend into a party hosted by a student in their school. Y/N's best friend's attention is instantly stolen by a good looking guy and leaves Y/N but not before she gives y/n a hug and a 5 second apology. Since y/n always prefers to read, y/n sits at the corner of the party and reads a book. A biology book. Y/N loves biology and doesn't mind reading it with drunk teenagers around them. Suddenly a guy takes y/n's hand and drags them to the rooftop. As he drags y/n, they notice he reeks of alcohol and gags. He smells awful! Once they get there, he grabs Y/N by their waist and pulls them close.

"Stop!" Y/N yells but the music blasts so loudly in the house that no one can hear their plea. He gets so close that their lips are only a few centimeters away until someone grabs Y/N away from the drunken student.

“Don’t touch her”, he says.

Y/N turns around to Yeosang! Y/N had heard about him from her classmates who always giggle when their eyes lay upon handsome men. He is a member of a boy band named ateez, his dance flawless, his voice deep but as marvelous as an angel and his radiant skin that shines beautifully.

The boy then, obviously, runs off: he can't take on a beautiful being like Yeosang. When the boy is out of sight, Yeosang looks at Y/N, concern written all over his face.

“Are you okay?”

The light at the end of the tunnel

Chapter 1

* (When reading, the pov may change to third person and to a character’s POV. When it changes there's a two space gap between the lines. If you can’t tell, compare it to a line before a character’s POV)*

If Eric’s room looked like anything, it was a pig sty. Garbage bags lay around each corner, peeking out of them were cans, empty noodle cups, and whatever a teenager needed gone. He walked in, the room in front of him spinning. His evenings always spun. They only started when it happened. He plummeted into his bed like a log, but his teacher’s concerns lurked in his mind, keeping him awake.He rolled over to his side, desperate to quell the constant questions and his growling stomach. The latter got the best of him however. He searched his kitchen for food and unexpectedly, cups of noodles sat in his fridge.

“Guess I’m having instant noodles…again”. Eric said. Maybe someone would hear him and stock his fridge with something delicious. He moped around until the kettle’s furious hissing brought him to reality, and he prepared his dinner. It was Eric’s cycle of life: rest in best, eat, and sleep till the sun reclaimed its throne in the sky. And sleep he did as he collapsed in his bed afterwards, not even caring that he still had his school uniform on him.

The sun teased him through the curtains, his light blue eyes lit by the sun’s rays. Eric dragged himself to the bathroom despite being half-awake, and while brushing his teeth, his eyes latched onto his reflection.

"Great. The bags under my eyes seemed to have gotten worse over night.” he sighed. He was terribly unkempt too. It was a wonder child protection services hadn’t rang his doorbell. His blond hair was shaggy and the blue in his eyes were almost grey from gloom.

“Whatever,” he pushed the thought aside, “No one would care anyway.”

But he couldn’t shake the feeling off. He couldn’t even make his cereal warm, the cold milk numbed his tongue. After throwing some random books into his bag, he headed to school. He rode on his bike, the sky above him as clear as a spring morning could be. The wind was a betrayer, stealing the warmth from his ears and playing with his hair. What people enjoyed about spring was beyond him. It was worse as he walked through the school hallways, where whispers and snickers were branded with his name.

“Look at those bags under his eyes. He must be on drugs”

“His uniform is so untidy”

“Yeah, he went from a role model to a homeless man”

“I can’t imagine how he screwed up his life”

All Eric could hear was his schoolmates jeering at him, their faces full of total contempt. Old news. Too tired to care, he walked to his desk and rested his head on the table. He wished he could rest – their words made him sick to his stomach.

*Eric’s POV*

What was the point of getting my grades up if no one notices them? Why do I have to face this alone? If only I could know what it feels like to be loved. Heck, even having a friend is fine with me. But I know it's never gonna happen.

The school bell stopped his train of thoughts. In strode his maths teacher and began an hour of what Eric defined as gibberish.

"Why does the teacher have to ramble on about maths all day?" Eric thought, running his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"I'm sorry I'm late", a voice woke Eric up from the day’s monotony.

Eric's eyes followed to where the sound came from. It was a stunning girl, her eyebrows furrowed which made her facial expression look dominant. Her hazel hair flowed down her back, her blue eyes standing out like the

"Since it's your first day, I'll let it slide but this shouldn't repeat itself", my teacher said, arranging his glasses. My maths teacher, Mr Johnson has always thought of himself as a genius since he graduated with the highest grades. How ironic for a teacher on minimum wage.

My teacher’s gaze wandered the class, “I could set you up with a seatmate: not everyone has one”.

The girl scanned the room, her gaze locked on the empty seat beside Eric. “I’ll like that seat”, she said, her eyes now on a shocked Eric. His doubt practically sprung into a frenzy.

“Why would she want to sit with him?”

“Can’t she notice he looks like a beggar?”

“If I were her, I wouldn’t even look at a hopeless soul like his”

She sat next to him, and unpacked her bag. Up close, her electric blue eyes stunned Eric even more. Sitting at the far left of the class, Eric’s mind wandered to the window next to him.

*Eric POV*

The school bell rang, signalling lunch and the end of my nap.The school decided to adjust lunch times to much later in the evening, which was terribly inconvenient for my scheduled school naps. Someone tapped my shoulder and I jumped, frightened. It was the new girl, her hands placed on her hips.

“You slept the whole period. Are you okay?” she asked, her eyes softening.

“Yeah…I’m fine”, I answered, my voice a hoarse whisper. “And what are you doing here? It’s lunch break.”

“Before I tell you, my name’s Helen. Helen Wyatt”, she said, taking my hand and shaking it. This girl violated my personal space more than anyone in school ever has. “And the reason I’m here is…to join you for lunch!”

“What?” I asked. Why me of all people? Is this a joke? This doesn’t feel right.
