On The Line Book Novels & Stories

I'm sure what they heard was just a stupid goat bleating. Sky lifted the book above his head and asked, “What exactly should I give back?” Since words weren't enough, then I'd have to do it the hard way—the violent taketh it by force! I jumped, trying to reach my novel, but he was far taller than me. I must look stupid right now. Sky stretched his hand sideways, and handed the novel to Quinn. Not him! I rushed to take the book from Quinn, but I was held back by Josh, who grabbed my backpack.

“Wrong move.” In one smooth motion, Nathan shoved Calix hard, and Calix retaliated. He lunged—quick, explosive, aiming low. The two of them crashed into a bookcase, books tumbling to the floor with hollow thuds. Nathan swore and swung, his elbow catching Calix in the jaw, snapping his head back. Calix didn’t stop. He grabbed for Nathan’s arm, trying to disarm him, to wrestle the pistol free. For a moment, it was pure instinct—grappling, breathless, desperate.

I leaned closer, anticipation buzzing in my veins— Only to freeze. Books. Shelves and shelves of them, stretching from top to bottom. Old ones. Ancient-looking, with worn spines and faded gold lettering. Dusty, but organized with meticulous care. My shoulders slumped. “Seriously?” I muttered. Why warn me off if this was all there was? Then I saw it. A small, folded piece of white paper resting innocently among the books. My heart kicked. I snatched it up and unfolded it— And rage hit me full-force.

And here I thought Kiara and I were the most excited, but someone beat us to that, maybe even the entire school. “Hi Abby,I am Kiara.” Abby’s smile widened as she turned to me, she was expecting me to introduce myself as well. Usually, Kiara tends to be my mouth, cause I barely interact with strangers who 90 percent of the time make fat jokes that leave me depressed for days. They don't always notice the damage they do,only Kiara does. I glanced at her, expecting her to speak up, but instead she smiled, mouthing,*Come on.* I cleared my throat, returning my gaze to Abby, “I am Dawn.”

I figured the enemy of an enemy had, indeed, become a friend. I sighed and said, "If none of you believe me, that's fine. But the scholarship was already distributed early this year. Why don't we ask Lily if she received it?" The classroom fell silent for a moment. All eyes turned to Lily, waiting for her answer. Lily raised her phone and announced, "Mr. Clark, you must be mistaken. I've already received my scholarship money." Amelia's eyes went wide, her face turning red, then going completely pale.

I let them pass, walking the emptying corridors at own pace, lingering in the stillness as the day’s noise fades. When I reach my apartment, dusk is spilling through the windows, painting long shadows across the floor. I peel off my shirt, each button undone like a small victory against the weight of the day. I sink onto the couch, letting the silence settle. The events replay in my mind–Renner’s composure, the staffroom whispers, Jessica Adler’s deliberate charm, Hosea’s restless eyes. This school is a theatre. Everyone’s wearing a mask. But the cracks are showing.

it kills witches. Ignatius wheeled on her with eyes burning with anger and tears. "She's not a witch. She's the only reason we're alive. Now heal her!" Eline winced but nodded, fingers already in motion, singing softly as she drew a silver rune across Krishna's sternum. "She's clinging by threads," she whispered. "But she's fighting." "I know," Ignatius replied softly, smoothing a lock of hair back from Krishna's dripping forehead. "She always does."

Hence, she put it back in its spot among other dusty books and walked to another shelf. She came across a couple of other books but she knew none of them will give her any information on what she sought after; ‘Moon Goddess' Mate’ by U. Tipper, ‘The Hybrid's special Guide’ by L. O. Klark, ‘Tribid Greed’ by Steve Reynolds, and a lot of other books.
