Step Up Novels & Stories

I finally found the man I was crazily looking for, and at the same time, what an unlucky day — I found him, but I can't have him. I sighed. My eyes fell on his veiny hands on the steering wheel. His hand was gripping the wheel just like he held my neck in those nights — not tightly, just in control. My thighs clenched. Oh gosh. I looked ahead. Stop it, Elora. He is your step-uncle now. It's so disgusting. Even I was trying to remind myself how wrong this was now. My head voice wasn't helping me — it kept interrupting, saying, So what if he is your step-uncle? He is step, not real. Eww, I never thought I was this sick in the mind.

The attacks from Apollo’s illusion were suddenly not a threat to him anymore. He took the eighth step, but he did not stop. He went straight to take the ninth. When he took the ninth step, everyone froze. Metal Mask and Timothy’s faces stiffened. Then, right before everyone’s stunned eyes, Dustin took his tenth step. This time, the crowd grew restless. The tenth step was the highest record, and Dustin had managed it! No one else could compare to him. Timothy was in disbelief. How could he do that?! How was this possible?

She was holding a wine glass and casually grabbed another cup of juice before stepping toward me, handing it over with a condescending smile. I'd seen enough of the petty rivalries in high society to know what was going on. My eyes darted nervously to the security camera, wondering if she might suddenly trip or make a scene. It was as if she knew exactly what I was thinking. She chuckled lightly, placing the juice in my hand. "We're the Paynes, a powerful family in Joshuaberg, not some distasteful nouveau riche group," she said with a practiced air of superiority. "So don't worry. I won't resort to those low tricks."

I feel my legs shake as I drag my feet forward, moving around the couch, which is probably not a brilliant choice considering how fearful she looks right now– I should stay away, not draw closer. "Mom…" I start, trying to put words together, but how do I explain to her? What do I even say? Oh, I’m sorry you had to see that. I just happened to have been fucking around with my best friend, who also happens to be your stepson. No qualms, though.

My head instantly snapped to the speaking wall as my eyes widened in shock. Before I knew, the words left my mouth, "What are you doing here, standing in the middle of nowhere?" His brow ever so slightly raised and sarcastically replied, "I live here, remember and that too, in the next room of yours." I sigh, knowing he was right and right. "Yeah, yeah, Stephan. I know." "Good." He rolls his eyes before walking towards the stairs and I follow him shortly after. "Good morning kids." "Morning Gran." Stephan softly replied.

My dad's voice came out yelling from the kitchen. "Yes, dad." I managed to mutter. My stepmom, sensing my despondency, approached with a worried expression. "Adrian, is everything okay? You seem off." I sighed, the truth itching to escape my lips. "Coach called me in today. Said my grades need a serious boost for college scouts. I've got to step up my game academically." Her eyes softened, understanding the internal struggle. "You've always been dedicated to basketball. I know this is tough, but it's an opportunity to show your strengths beyond the court."

Holy crap! I understood exactly why we were here now. That math test a couple of days ago, right after that party, when the recruiter from the state university showed up with an offer I couldn't refuse and had raised my hopes. I'd been too busy floating on air to really care about a stupid test. "Stewart is it true?" I opened my mouth, but then Mr. Hopkins answered for me. "Of course, it`s not true. The idea of someone with a 4.0 GPA copying from someone who has an average of..."

I understand " I stand up to move upstairs. "Laney I really want to know Blake if you will let me " One day at the time Zach , goodnight"

There were also traps, which made it difficult to guard against. Judy could no longer withstand the pressure and broke out in cold sweat. “One step back for this one, and one step back for this one, right?” “One step back for this one, and one step back for this one, and then flip it beautifully.” “There are two traps in this level. First, add up the bridge, and then one step back for the flip.” “Beautiful. Very good. Continue.” A few people surrounded him and gave him advice. However, when they reached the twenty-first level, Willie stepped back and poured himself a cup of coffee.

I opened it. Unknown: So, stepsister ugh? I don't need anyone to tell me before I figure out who the sender is. ~~~~ "Holy shit" Lexi's voice raged through the speakers. I facetimed her as soon as I reached my room. "That's fucked up" she said and I nodded in agreement. It's more than fucked up. "I can't believe Ryder's going to be my Stepbrother. I mean giving our story and all that" I pace around the room with my laptop in my hand.
