2023-12-01 14:45:29I dialed Brian's number for the fifth time. I tapped my fingers against the counter as it rang once, then twice, then three times. As usual, he didn't pick up. I sighed as I heard the "You've reached the McKinley residence. We can't take your call, but please feel free to leave a message!" BEEP. "Hey Brian, it's me, Maxxie. Call me back, okay? Please?" I slammed the phone back into its cradle. How could one person stay mad at me for so long? And what had I even done? It wasn't like Brian to hold a grudge or get mad easily. I contemplated that maybe he was having family troubles, but he would usually tell me something like that. I couldn't think of any other solutions. "Maxxie!" my mom called. She slinked into the kitchen. I gasped when I saw her. She was wearing a marvelous blue evening gown that touched the floor. It was studded with jewels that made her blue eyes sparkle even brighter. Her blonde hair sat on her shoulders in loose curls. She smiled at me and turned once, making the dress flow freely. "What do you think?" she asked me, looking down at her gown. I cracked a smile. "It's gorgeous! But why are you wearing it?" She gave me a wan smile and said, "I'm going out with Liam tonight. He's taking me to some ball type thing." She giggled. My frown disappeared. "But mom, it's only Monday night." She shrugged and walked up to me. She grabbed my chin with her newly manicured nails and whispered, "I think he may be the one, Max. This night is very important to me." She grinned and let go of me. She kissed my cheek and told me she loved me before stepping out the front door. I stared solemnly as her car drove off into the twilight. I sighed and walked into the living room. Clearly he's not the one if he can't even pick you up for your dates, I thought. I flopped on the couch and picked up the remote. I turned the TV on and began to watch meaningless cartoons, thinking about how much my mom had changed. She wasn't the loving, caring mother that would watch TV with me on Monday nights. She had turned into a dating and carefree mother who couldn't be bothered with a teenage son. There was a knock at the door. I quickly stood up and ran to the door, wondering who it could be. I knew that I wasn't supposed to open the door for anybody I didn't know, so I simply peered out the little window. To my surprise, Jace was standing there looking forlorn. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. I quickly opened the door and he stared at me. "Hi," I said. "Are you okay?" He shook his head. I took a step aside so he could walk in. He kicked his shoes off and I closed the front door, locking it shut. I turned back to him and grabbed his hand. I led him into the living room and we took a seat on the couch. Our hands rested on his jeans, which looked slightly dirty. "Why weren't you at school today?" I asked. "I missed you." He stared at our hands as he said, "I came out to my parents today." I smiled slightly and said, "That's great! Right?" He shook his head slowly. I saw a stray tear trickle down his cheek. I frowned and wiped his face. He took a shaky breath. "My father hit me," he whispered. "My mother just watched. He disowned me." I gasped in utter shock. I had seen Jace's parents before, around school when special events went on, and they looked like the perfect family. His dad was a business executive, his mom was nice. They didn't look like the kind of family to disown a child. But I guess you can't judge a book by its cover.... "John hates me," Jace whispered, more tears dripping from his eyes. I had nothing to say. I couldn't say anything. I was in shock. Jace began to rock with tears. He turned so he was lying on the couch, his head on my lap. I ran my hands through his soft hair, trying to get him to calm down, though I didn't blame him for crying. I couldn't imagine how lost he felt. "You can always stay with my mom and I," I whispered. "There's always a home for you here." He sniffled. "Where is your mom?" I sighed. "On a date with her boyfriend." He turned his head so he could look up at me. "Your parents are split?" I nodded. "Yeah. I don't really talk about it. They divorced three years ago. My dad never talks to me anymore. My mom just started dating." "How do you feel about that?" I shrugged. "Like any teenage boy with a single mom who's started dating?" He grinned. "Touché." I smiled and bent my head down to kiss him. His lips tasted salty from the tears and they still trembled. When I pulled away I touched his face. "It's horrible what your parents did," I whispered. He nodded. "We should do something about it." He raised an eyebrow. "Like what?" "Go to the media," I offered. "I could do that, if you wanted. They'd listen to me. My uncle is the news anchor for the local news place." Jace's mouth popped open. "Your uncle is Tyler Gribbon?" I nodded and smiled. I caressed his face again. "We'll get you the justice you deserve," I whispered. He smiled at me and bit his lips. I looked into his bright blue eyes. They sparkled with a little happiness. He sighed contently. "I love you Maxxie," he whispered. "I really and truly do."

Twelve years ago, in the year of the Snake. I had been gravely ill for no apparent reason, and had a fever throughout the year. No matter what we tried it could not be cured. One midnight toward the end of the year, I watched in a daze as a big white snake slithered into my bed and climbed up my leg. The snake's coarse scales rubbed against my skin—it was painful and itchy at the same time.I was terrified but did not dare to shout. I watched as the big white snake moved under my blanket throughout the night until the next day when Grandmother threw aside the blanket to carry me up. The moment she lifted the blanket, the smell of urine hit us right in the nose, but the snake was nowhere to be seen. Grandmother slapped me on the bum and asked me why I had wet the bed. I told her that a snake had crawled into my bed last night, but she did not believe me and asked what was going through my mind. We were not staying in some village in the mountains; where would a snake even come from

“You know me?”Chu Feng carefully evaluated that beautiful girl and after looking up and down three times, he found out that not only was the girl beautiful, she was also very young, obviously being younger than him.Also, there was a badge on the chest of the girl that showed that she was a member of the Wings Alliance. Although that girl shocked Chu Feng, he really did not recognise the girl.“Who knows you? Hurry up and leave, this isn’t a place where you can come.” The girl glanced at Chu Feng, then continued to throw herself into the huge battle against the Saint Spirit Grasses and it seemed that she was extremely angry at Chu Feng.Although Chu Feng did not know why the girl was so angry, Chu Feng already knew that the girl was surrounded by the Saint Spirit Grasses.
