Honestly I still haven't decided on the ending for this arc and I'm seriously so over it X'D lol I've already starting thinking about the next arc... anyways, my schedule today and tomorrow are too busy to update, and I don't know about this entire next week, since we'll have family over. The next weekend will especially be busy since more family is coming, then we'll be driving from Texas all the way to Florida, and then after that, we're going on a cruise, and then I'm going to Iceland. So I'm going to call a mini-hiatus (okay, long hiatus - it'll be like a month until my winter break finishes) until then. I will guaranteed start updating again mid- to late January (if something else happens, then I will say so, but otherwise that is the expected time), and may or may not have chapters throughout that time, but highly unlikely, because I'm off to part-aaaayyyyyyyy and vacationnnnnn and have funnnnnnnn (so yeah, sorry guys, I'm abandoning you all for sun, beaches, dolphins, and then the Northern lights). Happy holidays everyone and hope you all have an enjoyable Christmas and New Years! Comment below what you'll be doing? Just chilling like a couch potato, working, or maybe traveling like me?

Here are some recs that you might enjoy over the holidays (they aren't holiday themed tho)-

Music: 

Lil Wayne, Ty Dolla $ign & XXXTENTACION - Scared of the Dark (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) - We watched Into the Spider-verse when it released, and I have to say, it was actually pretty good. My brother was really looking for the soundtrack, which on the other hand made me not too excited about it because our music tastes are fairly different, and I usually don't like the music he likes at all. But, I actually quite enjoyed the soundtrack, and this was my favorite song from it. The animation style was also fairly interesting and cool as well, very colorful, which I liked. There were some really awesome scenes, so all in all, I would recommend the movie as well as this song. 

CN Novel:

My Classmate is 200 Million Years Old - So, I really liked I Am A Killer from the same translator (I was a big advocate for that novel to be picked up), and this novel has similar vibes. An OP soul transmigrating into a cute Lolita little girl, resulting in a healthy dose of a lot of badass things. Basically, she's badass, and cute, so therefore you should read it.

An Oddette's Otherworld Odyssey - about an OP and kinda stupid and dense girl transmigrating into another girl's body in a different-ish world. There's a little bun (she has a cute baby), therefore you should read it. She's also really adorably stupid. And she can talk with animals. It's a slightly western cultivation world with sword masters and magicians.

KR Novel:

Running Away From The Hero! (Remake) - So I was actually an editor that worked for the translator of the original Running Away From The Hero! He dropped the Remake due to a request from the author, so I was really happy to hear that this was picked up again - I love the story. It's quite funny - a villain trains a bunch of badass kids for an evil organization, one of who becomes a hero. Definitely recommend.

Anddddddd that's it. Again, hope you guys have a good holiday, and forgive me for the hiatus with this list of recs :p

Yin Mei is, or was, just an ordinary girl. An actual ordinary girl - not just those girls that claimed to be ordinary, but had hidden powers or identities. But, upon her death, she was bound to the villain saving system. It's fine and all reading about transmigration, but actually experiencing it? Having to deal with those brain dead male leads, those immoral female leads, and those pitiful cannon fodders, all while helping out the thoroughly blackened villains...

Yin Mei: I wanna go home already!

Male Lead: Request denied.

------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for all the support!

Current status: indefinite hiatus

Another round of silence built up. Wolf handed her a big envelope to Katri.

"It's an application from the 'Architects of Alpha', believe it or not." he explained.

"Huh? How did you find this?!"

"Got it from the archive section, the admission people gave it to me because of a broken law years ago."

"Oh damn. All of my teacher recs, resume, a really crappy essay, everything! Wow, can't thank you much Wolfie!" she exclaimed hugging him.

"Aww, what a cute 'first time meet-up'." I said with a somewhat canned love voice.

"Shut Up Grif, we're not dating."

"Anyways, other than your application, we need an escape plan somehow." Wolf nagged.

A third round of silence built up again.

"Come on. Somebody?"

"Hey, what about we all sneak out at bedtime?" Ashleen suggested.

"It may work, but how do we pass the guards somehow?" I asked.

Wolf snapped his fingers multiple times. Until...

"Aha! Got something brilliant to say!" 

Katri slapped me, "Of course! Why would change the subject?!"

After World War Three, the world was in shambles living in a post-apocalyptic state. Every country was destroyed except North America. Only Canada, United States, and Mexico survived the gruesome war. After 100 years of this some calling this "dystopian" in nature, civilization grew back and evolved to form one country called "The United Communities of North America", better known as the UCNA. 

After the "Reconstruction Period" in North America, communities were built. Society flourished and rebuilt again. Everyone is restricted to their own world. When 15-year-old Griffin Spectral gets a rare job as an engineer, he feels excited of what's to come. But later on, he learns the harsh truth about his community. More clues pop out that broke his view that were meant to be hidden. His view on his community changes harshly and questions his "perfect" life and society. 

Definitely read this if u love the giver and the hunger games. New readers always appreciated!

Pfft! Zhu Bocheng was glad that he wasn't drinking water at that moment; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control himself and would have spat it out on the spot when he heard Sister Shuyan's words. Was this the first time Zhenbai was being scorned by a woman, and so clearly?
Zhu Bocheng wiped his face and went red from trying not to laugh. At the same time, he was glad that she was indeed the woman he fancied and wasn't charmed by Zhenbai's appearance. Usually, when he was with Zhenbai, Zhenbai would always be the one whom women fawned on. Since meeting them, Sister Shuyan had never acted like that. The more Zhu Bocheng thought about it, the happier he was. As long as his friend didn't fight with him, he was still very confident that he could woo Sister Shuyan. He was immediately all smiles and said, "Great minds think alike, great minds think alike. Forget his good looks, he has plenty of shortcomings. Come, let's go and chat, Sister Shuyan!"
Qi Zhenbai's face turned frosty when the woman beside him took advantage of him making small talk to turn around to talk to another man and leave with him. Even if the man was Zhu Bocheng, Qi Zhenbai's unsightly expression didn't change.
"First of all, he's a workaholic and a tyrant. He'll work all the way into the night, and he pursues perfection at all costs. His tormented subordinates complain endlessly. I reckon his future wife will become jealous of his work." Zhu Bocheng didn't notice his friend's face. Since his friend wasn't interested in Sister Shuyan, Qi Zhenbai could just be the bridge between him and his wife. He continued to stick close to Shuyan's side and roast his friend. "Also, he's a germaphobe and doesn't like to touch people. He will definitely scorn his wife in the future. With that cold face, his wife will consciously stay 20 feet away from him, haha."
Father and Mother Zhu watched their son and the little girl gossip together and smiled knowingly at each other. They felt that they should leave the two young ones alone to cultivate their feelings, and planned to leave the scene quietly together so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
"Young Master Qi, I remember that you've always been quite knowledgeable about antique jewelry. It's a coincidence that I recently acquired a few new antiques from the Tang and Song Annual Reviews and have been looking for someone to appraise them. Why don't you come with me to take a look, Young Master Qi?" Father Zhu inquired respectfully.
Qi Zhenbai seemed to be listening to Father Zhu's tone as if he was speaking with his peers, but in fact, his eyes were fixed on the two people sitting very close to each other on the sofa. A sinister and ruthless glint flashed in his phoenix eyes underneath his sharp eyebrows. The lines of his jaw tightened and his face grew more and more irritated.
In a normal situation, the observant Father Zhu would definitely have overthought it, but now that he was focused on Zhu Bocheng and Chi Shuyan, he didn't really notice Qi Zhenbai's mood. And at that moment, Qi Zhenbai's exposed emotions were immediately restrained, and he looked light-hearted.
"Alright." Before leaving with Father Zhu, Qi Zhenbai didn't forget to turn around and give Zhu Bocheng a cold, blade-like, bone-piercing gaze.
Zhu Bocheng shivered at the sight and his neck turned cold. He had spoken so softly; did Zhenbai hear him? What a blunder! Because of Qi Zhenbai's warning, he didn't dare gossip about him anymore.
At the dining table.
At night, everyone drooled over the table full of fragrant and tasty dishes, and Chi Shuyan was starving.
Father and Mother Zhu warmly welcomed everyone to sit down. Originally, the two wanted Qi Zhenbai to sit in the main seat, but Qi Zhenbai turned it down. As for Chi Shuyan, this guest, she was too young. If they let her sit there, it would only make her uncomfortable. The couple didn't say much and sat down.
Chi Shuyan surveyed the group. Father and Mother Zhu naturally sat together, so she chose a seat to the lower right of Mother Zhu. Seeing that Sister Shuyan had chosen her seat, Zhu Bocheng subconsciously wanted to sit next to her.
However, just as he was about to go over and sit down, Qi Zhenbai was a step quicker and intercepted him. He pulled out the chair and sat down slowly, all in one smooth motion. His frosty phoenix eyes glanced indifferently at Zhu Bocheng, and he put his left hand on the back of a chair like an order. "You sit here."
Zhu Bocheng: "…" Why did he get the feeling that his best friend had long coveted this seat? It had to be his illusion.
Even Chi Shuyan, who was on the side, was surprised. She didn't expect Qi Zhenbai to be next to her, so she shifted her body to face Mother Zhu more. It wasn't that she was prejudiced, but clearly because of how she had been repeatedly attracted to Zhenbai previously, she didn't dare get close at all. She was afraid that she would accidentally embarrass herself with this tonic pill next to her. That would be hard to explain. In addition, the two of them were going to have a 'ill-fated relationship' in the future. In order to prevent this evil fate from happening, she would stay as far away from him as possible and have less contact with him.
Mother Zhu was pulling at her to talk to her, but what Chi Shuyan didn't notice was that when she leaned over, the tall man next to her had a cold, hard face. His thin lips were pursed tightly into a thin line and hidden fury rose in his eyes. His fury went from 30 to 100 percent, and his fingers subconsciously tightened until they were white.
Zhu Bocheng distinctly sensed that his friend was on the verge of losing control of his emotions. Other people didn't know, but he knew that the angrier Zhenbai was in his heart, the calmer his face became. At that moment, his friend's face was frightfully calm, but he just couldn't figure out why he was angry.
It wasn't good for Zhu Bocheng to ask in front of everyone, so he changed the subject. "Zhenbai, what's especially fun in the capital? Give me some recs, and I'll take Sister Shuyan there tomorrow." After speaking, Zhu Bocheng quickly whispered in his friend's ear, "Help me out, Zhenbai. You know that Sister Shuyan is nice and beautiful. As the saying goes, we shouldn't let our own fertile water flow into someone else's field. I plan to keep this in the family. You're busy with work, so I definitely won't bother you this time." After pausing, Zhu Bocheng quickly continued, "Zhenbai, this is a matter of great importance in my life, so you must help me out!"
With a crack, the chopsticks in Qi Zhenbai's hand snapped. His face was even more terrifyingly unsightly, his face ashen, and the veins on his forehead bulged tautly as he teetered on the verge of losing control.
Zhu Bocheng was first startled, then almost jumped up in fright when he saw the emotional loss of control and expression on his best friend's face. All the hairs on his body stood on end. A chill ran up through the soles of his feet. Wait a minute, what did he say wrong? Why did it feel like this friend of his didn't want to give him advice, but wanted to tear him apart?
Everyone else was also startled by the noise, especially Mother Zhu. She hurriedly got up and wondered, "Why did the chopsticks break? I'll get another pair for Zhenbai."
Father Zhu hurriedly echoed, "Right, right, hurry and get Young Master Qi another pair of chopsticks."
Chi Shuyan was very sensitive to emotions and also sensed that the man next to her was in a very bad mood, but it wasn't good to probe into other people's privacy, so she could only look at Zhu Bocheng.
Qi Zhenbai's deep, cold voice suddenly rang out. "It wasn't easy for her to come here. As hosts, we should always have manners. It just so happens that I'm free these few days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Bocheng gaped in astonishment, wide enough to swallow a duck egg. A faintly absurd idea flashed through his mind, but he also felt that it was highly unlikely.
He knew his best friend too well. Love at first sight was completely impossible, and love might not happen for him even after a long time. Zhenbai had always been cold, aloof and heartless. It was impossible for him to fall in love with a woman whom he had only met a few times.
Besides, if Zhenbai really liked Sister Shuyan, he definitely wouldn't act like this. It was probably something in his best friend's heart, or perhaps it had something to do with Grandpa Qi. Zhu Bocheng took a moment to compose himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that was the case. He heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to speak, when Chi Shuyan said to Zhu Bocheng at that moment, "Anywhere is fine with me!"


Chi Shuyan lived miserably in her past life. She obviously has great fortune, but it is ‘borrowed’, and so her great fortune turns into bad luck—a good hand turns rotten. Her family falls apart and dies. Her relatives take possession of her properties. She is reported for cheating during the college entrance exams. Her future is in total ruins.
And she still foolishly feels grateful to her best friend who had orchestrated it all.
Until one day, a Celestial Master spots the deception and takes her as her apprentice.
Chi Shuyan rises from the ashes, becoming a blood-soaked demoness, whose name makes people tremble in fear as she slays all evil people. This ends up ending her own life.
Reborn once more, she returns to when she is 17-year-old with the memories of her previous life before the college entrance exam.
In this life, she is endowed with supernatural powers and can foresee anyone's fate and future with great accuracy.
She vows to trample on all those who caused her family's ruin in her past life.
But before she can exact her revenge…
One day, she touches a business magnate, and sees herself wearing some kind of cat ears sexy outfit coming out of the bathroom before kneeling at the man's suit pants, calling him Daddy!
Chi Shuyan is shocked: How bad is my life going to be in the future? How can it be so indecent!
Qi Zhenbai, the ruler of the powerful and deep-rooted Qi family in the capital, fully deserves being God’s favored one - handsome in appearance, indifferent in character, iron-blooded and strong in means and the second most sought after bachelor in the city. He is a hotshot, except for being so weak and sickly that doctors have determined that he won't live past 30.
His past life ended at 29.
However, this life is fated to be a little different after meeting her.
Making money in summer vacation.
"There are too many crooks these days." 
“Exactly, they perfectly able, but they don't look for a good job.”
A group of people points at Chi Shuyan, who has set up a fortune telling stall. On the one hand, she is discouraged from pretending to be a swindler, but also encouraged to resemble one slightly. Chi Shuyan stays firm, drawing talismans while sucking on a lollipop. 
One month later…
"Master Chi, fortunately you told my fortune. You allowed me to escape the misfortune."
"Master Chi, how much is this Ghost Ward Talisman? I want 10 of them!"
"Master Chi, can you help me calculate my family's luck in passing? Money is not a problem."
People’s eyes glow as they look at Chi Shuyan collecting excessive amounts of money. To look so sage-like even when doing a tacky task of collecting money, she's indeed an erudite expert.

In life, there are many situations one might find themselves in that they deem particularly undesirable. Stubbing your toe against a corner. Your charger cable not reaching when your phone is dangerously low and you just want to chill on your bed binging a good drama.

FInding your brother in a threesome.

Or going to lunch and seeing all the tables full except for a few select seats scattered here and there, but you're new and know basically no one and have to take your tray and slowly walk aimlessly as your brain goes into overdrive trying to decide where you can eat without someone sneezing in your lasagna.

Which did happen once in third grade. Not that I feared a repeat much anymore, but still. The sea of people all chatting about was daunting. Back in my old school, I had a group of friends who I trusted to NOT ruin my appetite. Now? I was highly suspicious.

It also didn't help several students from my previous classes recognized me as the somehow-popular-in-a-highschool-miles-away-from-his-workplace Professor's sister. And subsequently raised their hands as they called out to have me sit down with them. No doubt to bombard me with questions. I felt incredibly awkward looking around at them.

It's not a competition, alright? Stop trying to tempt me with pastries and juice! I'm not that cheap. Offer up main entrees at the very least.

I was just about to ask the nearby teacher--who was here to make sure no one was causing trouble, I'm assuming, by the way he stood sternly in a corner eyeing several rowdy tables in particular--if I could eat outside when a breath of air blew into my ear carrying the scent of gumdrops.

I jumped, startled, nearly dropping my tray before seeing Bea making a cheeky pose behind me. A peace sign over an open eye, a wide grin on her lips, simply impossible to be mad at.

"Yo~" She clapped my shoulder. "Gotta keep that guard up, mon cher. You're way too open."

"I'll keep that in mind," I said after a moment of calming my heart.

"And another fair maiden is saved from future troubles, all thanks to Yours Truly. You're welcome."

"Yeah, right. I'll SURELY be thinking of you next time I rescue myself from a potential rapist. I'll think,'gee I'm so glad Bea almost ruined my new pair of Prada'."

"If the stakes aren't high, how would the teachings stick? Don't worry, my cute little junior. As long as I'm here you'll always be kept on your toes." She threaded her arm through mine and started dragging me away.

"Aren't we in the same grade?"

"We are, but I'm your senior in life. You still have that air of sweet innocence that reminds me of myself in the days before I knew what Harlequin Ichthyosis was."

"What's that?"

"Something you can never un-Google."

"Anyway, I've taken a liking to you. Which you should be ecstatic about for it includes many benefits such as free frozen yogurt, deep philosophical debates, and lessons in self defense like the one we just went over."

"Sounds great. I'd like to cancel my membership."

"Too late. Once you go Bea you never go back."

"Sounds like the weird title for a porn parody of the Bee Movie."

"Huh. Not so innocent after all, are ya, Rabbit? Damn. I wanted to slowly corrupt you, too. Tsk." She sighed. "Ah well."

I had to force down a chuckle. "  So, uh, where are we going?" I asked as we walked through the large room of people.

"Cool kids' table." She answered.

"Are you even one of the cool kids?"

"Please." She snorted. "They WISH I were one of them. Nah. Queen Bea's a lone wolf. Alphas need packs, but Omegas like me are badass even without. Stick with me, kid, and you can walk through the world unhindered!" The pixie-like young lady boasted with a swipe of the nose and puff of the chest.

I poked her armpit, causing her to giggle. "Uh-huh. Total badass."

She swiped at me. "That was a cheap shot, it doesn't count. That place is sensitive, you know? Now then, let's give you a crash course. Pay attention since you're new. There's all kinds of hungry animals here who'd chew you up and spit you out. Since you're new and I'm a kind Goddess you won't go onto the field of battle unprepared." The girl babbled.

"So why're we going to the cool kids' table?"

"To make fun of them, of course. And because every other clique is on the way. We can witness them in their natural habitats."

...I was finding myself more and more favorable towards the chick. She was really easy to talk to. She's a different flavor from my old friends, but also similar. Like a mishmash of all their best traits.

It was pretty comforting having her here, I decided.

"Look!" She pointed. "The Intellectuals. You can just smell the stress and desperation for their demanding parents' approval. Highly competitive among their group and more cutthroat than, well, a band of cutthroats. But fear not, for these nerds are harmless to the common man."

One of the students at the table noticed them passing and gave Bea a friendly look.

"Hey, Bea! How's it going?"

"Well, well, well, if it ain't the invisible cunt." Bea flipped him off. "You got some nerve talking to me after the whole ghost routine. I texted you twenty times, asshole."

"Make it up to you later, promise."

"We're getting shit-faced Friday and you're paying. Root beer, loaded potato sticks, and copious amounts of chocolate. Whole nine yards. Oh, and I'm game master.  Ya'll good with that? Who's in?"

Several of the others who had, until then, been locked onto their textbooks, gave a thumbs up.

The first boy protested with a face full of injustice "...I got a test next week!"

"Tough titties said the kitty when the milk ran dry."

I looked over the boy's notes and said, "You got that one wrong, by the way. You forgot to substitute."

"What the--? Crap." He started furiously erasing. Meanwhile the rest of the group looked up at me as if encountering a new enemy. I thought back to the comment Bea made about them being cutthroat and decided not to get to close to them in the future.

Bea chided. "Oh-ho. On the Bean again, are we B-man? You know you don't function right on that stuff."

"An addict like you saying that to me…" The guy scoffed.

But Bea was already walking on. "That was Brainy. He's smart but he and caffeine don't have a good relationship."

So the Bean is a coffee place, I'm assuming.

The girl pointed next to another table not far away. "And now we have the Edge lords. They have a strange alliance with the Herbalists and the 2-D."

"Herbalists?"

"Potheads."

"And the 2-D's are…"

"Anime lovers. Manga. Novels."

" I see."

"Yeah. A lot of the 2-D double as Edge Lords. And everyone loves the Herbalists, they're pretty chill dudes."

Just then, "Bea, heads up." One of the Edge lords, a girl with pasty white skin and red nail polish with all-black or grey clothes, threw something over. "You're still on for the next one, right?"

"After the killing I made from you noobs last time? Hell yeah." She waved

"What's in that?"

"The fruits of my labor."

Again someone called out to the young woman. This time it was from the table I assumed were the 2-D'ers judging from the jacket depicting various manga girls in faces of orgasm. Which I'd seen before online but never in real life.

"You done with those volumes yet, Bea?" He asked.

"Boy, there's over 16 volumes. Of course I am."

"And?"

"And your waifu is shit."

"FIght me, bitch."

"Everyone knows the childhood friend route is the one true route. Get your twintail-worshipping ass outta here. Tsunderes are trash."

"And cold kuudere maids are better?"

"Don't you mock kuudere's, you uncultured swine." Bea pulled the guy's ear. "Their faces are cold but their hearts are full of passion! Not like those two-faced tsundere bitches who slap the fuck out of our poor MCs for merely being victims to Murphy's Law. Claiming love while treating them like dogs." A cheer from the surrounding otaku. " Kuuderes, on the other hand, are much more understanding, caring and lovable. Kuuderes are all you need in the world! Preferably in a panda onesie!"

Applause all around. Bea bowed. "Thank you, thank you, I deserve every bit. " She said shamelessly.

She released her captive  to go nurse his ear. "I'll give 'em back tomorrow, by the way. Nice read, thanks. Lemme know if you have any other recs."

"...I wanna bear her children." I heard someone mutter, stunning me.

The next few minutes came in a similar fashion. Bea giving me the low down on all the little groups, saying things like, "watch out for these guys," or "a bunch of rats every one of 'em." And the groups in question hearing her walk over, not at all minding her scathing remarks about them, but instead engaging the girl in playful banter.

By the end of it I looked at Bea with a raised brow. "Lone wolf, huh?"

Queen Bea indeed. She seemed to know and be on good terms with everyone here.

She shrugged. "Hey, I can't help it if I shine brighter than the day's burning dawn. It's not my fault. I don't gotta lead, others just feel the need to follow." She draped an arm over my shoulder, shaking her head helplessly. " What can I say? The world loves it some vitamin Bea."

"Not one for humility." I observed.

"Babe, when you look this good humility is hypocrisy. You just gotta own it."

I took in her bright and many-colored locks of hair. Her sharp, elfin features and punk rock style of clothes that seemed to match her perfectly. She reminded me of Kenzi from Lost Girl but prettier and more friendly. Still, not the look of your usual highschool Queen.

Queens were Barbies, not Kenzies.

I guess Bea was the exception? But her cockiness was on a whole other level.

"I want some of that confidence. You have too much, give me a bit."

"As I said, stick with me. Soon you'll be drowning in confidence. Some of my awesomeness will rub off on you."

I was about to reply when someone else's voice stood out from the crowd.

"Ugh, what's that god-awful odor? What's the matter, Bea, can't you afford a bar of soap?"

Bea didn't miss a beat. "It ain't me. That's just the smell of your breath blowing back in your face."

A girl sitting at one of the back tables glared at us. And considering she had a pair of doe-like brown eyes, that was quite a feat. She was around Bea's size with platinum blonde twin-tails spilling down to her back. It was made even more bright by her black sweater and silver necklace.

"Or it could be your nose is just be fucked up from the gallons of chemicals you have to wear to mask the smell of skank you naturally exude. Which do you think it is?  Breath, or skank? I say, why not both?" Bea went on mercilessly.



"You are SUCH a bitch." The other girl sneered.

"Rather a bitch than a slut. Look, every time you open your mouth we can see the souls of unborn children flying out."

"You…!"

As a great battle of wits raged on between the two I noticed one of the guys at the table staring at me. He waved me over with the absolute confidence of a guy used to getting his way.

I was instantly annoyed. Not only for the gesture but also for the debaucherous grin that accompanied it.

"Listen here you little shit, if you think I'll go to you just because you waved a hand the only thing you have coming your way is a boot to the ass. You're acting too arrogant for an average-looking nobody."

The boy's smile faltered.  How to describe him? He was like KJ Apa but not as charmingly white knight.

So you could argue he was handsome but by my standard average is the best he can do.

"You're a lot meaner than you sounded in class. Damn." He shook his head in wonder. "You don't remember me, do you?"

I squinted. "...."

"Fuck, really?" He asked incredulously. He seemed entirely taken aback.

I stared harder. "....Bean dude?"

"Bean dude...Jesus Christ." He groaned painfully.

The others at the table laughed uproariously. "We're totally calling you Bean Dude from now on!"

"Oh God, my sides…!" Relentless guffawing had one bespectacled boy hunched over in pain.

"I can't breathe!" Another one with a green beanie was heaving, cheeks red, as he struggled to find his breath.

"I like her already." A girl with dusky skin and a honey-like voice spoke out, smiling wryly. "You're that new kid everyone's going on about, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Kaylie." A hand was extended in friendship. 

I switched the tray to my other arm and met her hand with my own. "Evie." Was all I said.

"I think you've already met Jacob." She jerked her chin to the person in question. "Don't mind him, he's an idiot. And I see you've become well acquainted with Bea."

"I think Bea gets well acquainted with everyone." I looked over at the two girls who were off in their own little world. And not in a good way. It was about to come to blows, I'd bet.

"Good point." Kaylie nodded. "How're you liking the place so far?"

All things considered?

"It's not bad. I guess."

"As apt a description as any. Take a seat and let's talk. It's not every day we get someone new around here. "

"What about--?"

"Don't worry about them. They'll stop just before killing each other."

Well. I'm not going to stand around all day. And she has more experience with them.

Lookie here. The first day and I'm already about to make new friends. Except for that Jackson guy. He seems irritating. But everyone else? They might make some good people.

***
"One coffee, my good man. You know how I like it. Thick, creamy and smooth down the throat." Bea sauntered in like she owned the place.

Several people were already seated and waved at her nicely.

It was the end of my first day of school and Bea had caught me as soon as the bell rang saying, "You, me and some Joe. Let's go." And wisped me off to a quaint shop with a giant coffee bean perched precariously atop it's roof.

It was a cozy place with clean carpet floors, a fireplace, and a variety of couches, love seats and bean bags as your choice of seating arrangements. Not to mention the bittersweet scent of coffee pleasantly tickling your nostrils.

Bea took a stool by an area that looked like a bar in the center of the room. Behind it was a grizzly bear of a man who seemed like lumberjacking was in his blood. Plaid shirt, gruff neckbeard and a no-nonsense air. 

I took a seat next to her just as he set down a mug of coffee--thick with cream--in front of Bea's quivering hands.

"Aw yeah babe, gimme some of that sweet stuff." She took a long swig, leaving a white mustache upon her lip as she finished. "...Haaaaa…." The girl all but moaned.

"Girl, you've got to knock off that weird shit. I'm running a respectable establishment here and you're getting off on a cup of coffee." The man's low rumble was tired and telling that he'd had this talk with the girl many times already.

"Who's the one who got me hooked on the stuff? Shut up and get me another. Or do you WANT Me to tell Deidre about that little hunting trip you took when you were supposed to be on a business trip? Now go." She shooed him fearlessly. He had over two hundred pounds of her and she sent him away like it was nothing.
"I told you that in confidence."

"And now I get free coffee for life."

The burly man raised a thick brow and gave me a glance. " Who's she?"

"New friend."

"Looks familiar…"

"She's the Prof's sister." Bea supplied helpfully.

He grunted. "Prof, huh? Alright. You drink coffee, kid?"

"Since I was five."

"Got ourselves a veteran here. White or black?"

"Black. I'll do the rest myself." Somehow I was super anal of how my coffee was made. I normally never let anyone make it for me. Unless it was Damien, who made the PERFECT cup of coffee. The man had it down to a science.

I remember him staying up with me late at night and brewing me a cup whenever I forgot to do my week's worth of homework and had to get it done all in one go.

He'd tutor me often and patiently while I sipped on my fresh brew, fighting sleep. And then I'd finally get it done only to discover my will thoroughly sapped, falling asleep on his shoulder. He wouldn't even mind my drool. He'd just stay there with me a long time before finally moving me to my bed and tucking me in..

I admit that sometimes I did purposely forget about the homework just for the cup of coffee and the excuse to be with him a little longer before sleep. I even faked the sleep a time or two if I'm fully honest.

I wonder, if I did that here would he still indulge me?

"Nothing like a fresh hit of caffeine after a hard day's work." Bea broke in.

And just then we heard a jingle at the entrance.

Who was it to walk in? Of course, Damien. Standing in the doorway, staring at me, looking quite displeased.

Its only then that I remembered I had forgotten to call and let him know I was going out.

Were it the Damien of before I wouldn't think anything of it. But this new, less friendly Damien was uncharted territory.

Let me just say that I hadn't been spanked since I was a child. However from the look of his face right now I legit feared I was about to experience a whole new world of public embarrassment.

…If I presented my ass now do you think he'd go easy on me for old time's sake?

Yeah. I don't think so either.

When her mother goes on what may very well be a year-long, world-spanning trip with her new husband, Eveline Foster is sent to live with her lust-inducing brother, Damien Gage.

Despite enjoying their long overdue reunion, she's annoyed at all the women who stare at him like he were a delicious treat.

As repressed desires run amok, Damien and Evie can't help but feel the burning desire to strengthen their family bonds...which is going to require a whole lot of skinship...

Max was huge fan of DC for as long as he could remember. As a kid, he once has a green lantern pillow that helps him to sleep, a Superman shirt that he always look so smug about, and a Batman cowl that he often wears at home.

He would always imagine himself flying cities after cities, saving everyone that he could see and be revered as a great hero, marrying a beautiful heroine and save the entire planet.

Thus, when he was offered with the chance to get reincarnated into a world of his choice after dying, he didn't hesitate for a second and chose the DC Universe and be reincarnated as Wonder Woman's little brother!

He was ecstatic about everything, excited to meet his favorite heroes, get in a relationship with his favorite heroine and to finally become the greatest hero known to history.

When he felt himself finally getting born, he excitedly opens his eyes, not caring how blurry it was, as he was dying to see the beautiful Amazons around him.

Alas, he did not know how naive he was the entire time, as what greeted him were not gentle looking and beautiful Amazons, but numerous pairs of cold eyes that was directed at his direction.

Getting locked and tortured into a dungeon for thousands of years, Max realized how stupid he was.

As that thought surfaced in his mind, his mind finally broke.

Note: Ahh, not an original idea, I know. But I really like the concept so give me a chance to do this.
