"You have such captivating gray eyes, and that eyeliner looks absolutely stunning on you!" She complimented me, gently turning me toward the mirror.I was dressed in a vibrant yellow tank top, paired with a stylish jeans jacket and white pants. With my high heels, I felt like a completely different person from my past self.As we were halfway through our conversation, we spotted you with your skateboard.That was the day we first encountered you, and Jeniece whispered to me, "This is the girl!"Befriending you became our first mission. I had always been used by people I met in the past, which is why I made a promise to myself to never get too close to anyone, no matter what.But things changed, and I started to develop a deep affection for you. I considered you as my own sister.Because you were kind to me, no one has ever been that kind to me before.And about the dark lord, I thought that he wanted to love and protect you. I couldn't imagine in my darkest dreams that his intentions

"Jules?" she said, looking at me with a puzzled expression. I startled her.Feeling regretful, I apologized, "I am so sorry, Mom. I thought..." I glanced around and continued, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to!" With that, I turned around and hurried toward my room.As I closed the door behind me, I couldn't believe I had snapped at my mom.Despite this strange incident, exhaustion took over, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.However, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a ticking sound. My eyes fluttered open, and a sense of unease washed over me.I reached for the lamp and switched it on, finally able to see my surroundings. To my horror, I spotted three scorpions in my room - one on the floor, another on the curtain, and the third one's tail visible as it climbed up the bed.Reacting quickly, I jumped off the bed and turned on the light. But as soon as I turned back, the scorpions had vanished.Needing to use the bathroom, I sat on the toilet seat and rubbed my e

He wore a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and an apron around his waist.“Julia, right?” he said with a warm smile. “I’m Mark Thompson, the owner. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Thompson,” I responded, shaking his hand.“Please, call me Mark. Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, tea, maybe one of our famous lavender lattes?” he offered as he sat down across from me.“A lavender latte sounds wonderful, thank you,” I said, grateful for the momentary distraction.Mark signaled to Lila, who nodded and began preparing the drink. “So, Julia, tell me a bit about yourself. What drew you to Muse & Mugs?”I took a deep breath, launching into my carefully rehearsed response.“Well, I’m in high school, and I’ve always had a passion for books and coffee. This is actually my first time applying for a job, and I felt that working here would be a perfect way to gain experience and be part of a community I admire. I love the cozy, welcoming environment of th

With everyone on board, who could resist a fun picnic outing? For some reason, I decided to bring my guitar along, perhaps to get some practice in.It wasn't until we were halfway there that Victoria noticed my guitar. "Oh my goodness, you sneaky little baby! You play guitar and didn't mention it to me?" she exclaimed.I simply nodded, causing heads to turn in my direction. I then noticed that Mr. Redwood was also on the bus, but he chose to ignore me, just as I had chosen to ignore him for the rest of my life.“Julia! Julia! Julia!” As the crowd chanted my name, I blushed as I looked across the bus, everyone eagerly waiting for me to play, Mr. Redwood was in front row, alongside with the bus driver, he didn’t see me or he maybe didn’t want to see me, who blames him, everyone could have been properly warned after that night. I was unaware of what the true reason was.When the chants grew louder, I finally covered my ears and laughed. “Okay, okay!” I giggled as I said, “I’ll play a lit

"Why would you think that?" I shrugged, biting my lip to hide my smile.He rushed toward me, forcefully pushing me against the wall, his voice filled with desperation. "Because you know I love you!" He quickly stepped back, realizing what he had just confessed."What?" My eyes widened, tears welling up. These were the words I had longed to hear.He turned away, but I couldn't let him go. I grabbed his arm and turned him back toward me. At that moment, he couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled me close, his hand slipping into my hair, and our lips met.In that kiss, he breathed life back into me, saving me from falling off the edge. Our breaths mingled, our hearts beating in perfect harmony.He kissed me with desperation, as if it was his last chance, pulling me closer like he was afraid I might slip away or someone would snatch me away from him.My body burned with heat as his hands roamed over my skin, from my hips to my back, then up to my neck.The kiss deepened, and the sound of
