How Not To Fall Book Novels & Stories

Everything inside me goes still. My mind tries to reject it, but my body reacts first. My eyes stay locked on the words in disbelief. My knees buckle. The book falls from my hand and lands on the floor with a heavy thud. I barely feel myself going down. One second ago I was standing, and now I am on the ground. The cold stone bites into my palms as I try to steady myself too late. The hidden library looks like what they haven’t taken care of in a long while, so the floor looks dirty and rusted.

Nova looked around again. Nothing. She was completely exposed. Another howl echoed through the forest. Closer this time. Nova’s stomach dropped. Then suddenly an idea hit her. Slowly she looked upward toward the massive trees surrounding her. “…You know what? I hate this plan already.” Still better than becoming Hollowfang dinner. Nova grabbed onto the rough bark and started climbing. Immediately she regretted everything Her arms burned almost instantly while her boots slipped against the bark. Another howl sounded through the woods “Hurry hurry hurry—”

Still, it gave me an idea, one that was rather dangerous, but what did I have to lose? I glanced upwards. The tree was large, with branches spreading out all over. A relatively easy one to climb. It would be painful, though. Excruciating. I might not even make it to my destination. But it was all I could think of. Aaron was arrogant, cocky enough to think he didn’t need to shift, or maybe he was conserving his strength for when he did find me. I could use that to my advantage. I clenched my jaw and slowly began to climb, almost passing out several times. I swayed, leaning heavily against the trunk, watching, waiting. He wasn’t far. I gripped the ball point pen tightly in one hand, the nib al

He stretched onto his toes, trying to slide the heavy book into place. "It's just a little..." Further. His fingertips barely reached the shelf. "I almost—" The ladder shifted. Lucas's eyes widened. "Oh!" His foot slipped. Everything happened in an instant. The ladder tilted sideways. The thick book slid from his hands. Before he could hit the floor, a strong arm wrapped firmly around his waist. Another hand caught his wrist. The falling book landed with a loud thud. Silence filled the aisle. Lucas blinked. He wasn't falling anymore.

NOAH “Find a way to make it up to the man.” Nancy’s words float at the back of my mind once again, two days after the whole weekend debacle. “Apologize again, buy the guy lunch, maybe even cook dinner for him…” That proved to be easier said than done by the end of the second day.

No matter what he did and no matter how disgusting and shameless he became. Or maybe he thought that with a little sweet talk, we could just hit the reset button and go back to how things used to be. But this time, he was dead wrong. No one ever stepped in the same river twice. I learned that in elementary school. "Zachary, since when did you start using money to threaten your best friend?" I asked. Back when I lent Ethan that money, I never imagined it would come in "handy" like this. "Do you really need her to show up with a baby at our doorstep before you'll admit it? The accident might've messed up my leg, but it didn't blind me."

I sighed and mustered my strength to pick it up. It was a text from Marcus. "Where have you been hiding? I know I was a little harsh that day, but you should've calmed down by now. Stop with this tantrum, and apologize to Janae. We can act like nothing happened! Also, don't forget about our engagement ceremony tomorrow." My strength left me, and my phone fell to the floor after slipping from my hand. I'd almost forgotten Marcus and I were supposed to be getting engaged the following day. I'd once looked forward to this day more than anything in the world. Now, it was so close and yet so far.

My foot caught on a slick patch of pavement, and in an instant, my world turned upside down. I stumbled forward, books flying in every direction, and for what felt like an eternity, time slowed. I could see my textbooks and notes scattering like confetti in the air, and in that moment of chaotic suspension, I heard a familiar voice call out. “Watch out!” Before I could fully regain my balance, I felt a sudden, sharp jolt as something or rather, someone collided with me. I flung my arms out instinctively, my coffee cup flying from my grip, spilling its dark contents onto the pavement. I landed awkwardly, my books and papers splaying out around me. And then, through the haze of embarrassment a

Leo had always believed that he was straight until the incident on the night before. But Archer was just too attractive for him to resist. He had a slim, defined yet muscular waist, and Leo also couldn't forget the sight of Archer's long legs shaking and shuddering in the air. Suddenly aware of where his thoughts were going, Leo grabbed Archer's wrist and stopped him. "I-I'm going to mend the shirt now." He couldn't let his dangerous thoughts continue like that. Otherwise, he was pretty sure that he would get a nosebleed and a heart attack in one.

But I forgot I was at lest 10 feet high from the ground. "Ahh auu". Just as I finished reading the spell, all the books stopped. They all fell at the same time along with me. THUDDDDDDDD. I fell on the floor like " OUCH. I HAVE BEEN SMACKED BY BOOKS , THROWN LIKE A BALL. ANYTHING IS LEFTTT— —". DHUMMMMMMM. A big pot fell on my head. My head got stuck inside it. Ouch. I Spoke Too Soon. After several tries it came out.
