Chapter.21
Hey y'all. Hope you all are doing well. There will be a lot of dialogue in this chapter. Hope you are ready. But rest assured, it's worth it. Also, some POV changes will be incorporated as well. Anyway, enjoy the chapter. I hope you all consider reviewing and critiquing down below.
The next day came and Kenny felt...good. He felt good that he had actually solved something that had been bothering him for a while.
Him and his brother were actually on the road to do what needed to be done. Sure, Kenny got punched. But a small price to pay to somewhat get his brother back.
Kenny came to school with plenty of questions from people regarding the bruise on his face. He told them he got into a fight and that they should see the other guy. But he told his close friends the truth.
But above everyone, there was one person who was more concerned about the rest. Kenny knew he'd get confronted by the girl in the red beanie.
Upon seeing his face, Heidi put a hand to Kenny's face. He couldn't help but blush.
"Kenny, you need to be honest with me…Did they hit you?"Heidi asked
Kenny smiled. It seemed cynical but Heidi's concern made him smile.
"Don't worry, I actually got it in a brawl. You should see the other guy."Kenny responded
Heidi rolled her eyes.
"Seriously Kenny. Where did you get it?"Heidi questioned
"Well you're in the right ballpark. But I can Kenny verify that this didn't come from either of my parents."
Heidi raised a brow trying to figure out who else was in the ballpark Kenny was mentioning. She assumed that Kenny's family also meant everyone in his close circle like his friends. But even if he had gotten into a fight with one to his friends, Kenny wasn't the type to not fight back. His interaction with Cartman cemented that.
Heidi decided to stick with the idea of family.
"Are you teaching Karen how to fight or something?"Heidi said
Kenny laughed.
"Hahaha. No but not a bad idea for her to learn."Kenny responded
Heidi smiled.
"Well just in case, You should let me handle that."Heidi followed with.
Kenny thought about it for a second. He had no idea if Heidi was capable of any athletic feats like himself but he wouldn't doubt. She did lose a lot of weight after she broke with Cartman. And would be better for Karen to have a little girl on girl time with someone like Heidi.
"That might be an idea."Kenny said
"Ya, I'd be more than willing. But anyway...if it wasn't your parents or a ninja Karen, than who was it?"Heidi said
Kenny took a noticeable exhale.
"So...Kevin and I hashed some shit out and it got a little physical...but we're all good. Guess it's what we needed."Kenny stated with caution. He didn't want to sound like an abuse victim with Stockholm syndrome.
"But he needed to hit you to get through that?"Heidi asked
"Well...ya. It seems a bit out there and over the top. But if getting punched means I get to have my brother back then shit...I'd take a good ass beating."
"That's sweet and sounds a bit odd at the same time. But still very sweet. I hope that you guys can keep going forward...in a less violent way."
"Thanks, I appreciate it Heidi."Kenny said with a smile.
Heidi always felt an aura emit from Kenny. Especially when he smiled. It reminds her of warmth. Like the heat of the sun hitting you on a cold morning.
Kenny and Heidi kept talking through class. Of course they got the unwanted attention of their teacher. The time finally came to leave for lunch.
The pair kept talking until they made it to the hallway where they would have to go their separate ways.
"I'll see you back in class Kenny. Have a good lunch."Heidi said
"You too Heid's."Kenny responded
They turned away from each other. Kenny couldn't wait to see her again. He wanted to hang out with her during lunch but he didn't want his friends to feel rejected and/or neglected.
But it was just this feeling to always be around her. To always be by her side. Kenny knew that if he wanted to actually go further with Heidi, he would have to make a special time for her.
And considering all the other stuff he had going on, it would be tough to pull anything off.
But when it came down to Heidi, Kenny would make it work. If anything, she would be able to make life a bit more bearable.
Kenny decided now might be the time.
"Heidi...hold on a sec."Kenny said before Heidi could gain any distance.
"Ya, what's up?"Heidi asked
"I-I uh...Um well...never mind."
Kenny choked and turned away.
Awkward was one way to describe what just went down. Kenny had no idea what to say or how to say it. He wanted to be with her and show her that he was willing to take the initiative for her.
But Kenny was scared. He was genuinely scared that there might be a chance that Heidi wouldn't show the same affection.
As Kenny got close to his locker, his brain took him back to the night at his house where the thought crossed his mind to try and kiss Heidi. And the look on her face...it seemed to convey the same thing.
Kenny stopped at his locker and opened it.
"What the Fuck am I doing?"Kenny said to himself as he put his stuff in his locker.
"I dunno...what are you doing?"A voice asked
Kenny looked to his right in surprise.
"Sorry Kyle, didn't realize I were talking out loud."Kenny said
Kyle smirked at his friend.
"What's that all about? You aren't the type to voice your emotions so easy."Kyle said
Kenny fully faced his Hebrew friend.
"Honestly, just having a bit of a hard time with what I'm gonna do about Heidi and that whole situation with Cartman."Kenny said
"What happened with Cartman?"Kyle asked
"Do I really have to specify? Considering all the shit he normally puts us through?"
Kyle knew that Kenny was up there with Cartman's most hated group of people. If it was irony or not was always up for question. But the events of last week changed it. And knowing Cartman's character, it didn't surprise Kyle.
"Fair point. But what about Heidi? I know Cartman's presence doesn't make things easy, but she seems pretty close to you."Kyle said
"I know...it's just...all the uncertainty. That maybe that I asked her...and if she didn't feel the same...it could make things weird and just ruin everything."Kenny followed with
"Ooo..Oooo! Well Kenny, good for you. But don't worry man, it's gonna be fine. And I think you're gonna be what she needs. Not like me or Cartman."
Kenny blushed. He composed himself and got back to the topic at and hand
"But Kyle-
"But nothing, it's natural to feel uncertain. The only way to be certain would be to have control. And you're not a controlling person. The kind of person that forces Heidi and be shitty. Like Cartman. But that isn't you Kenny. If anything the uncertainty is a good thing as it shows that you really understand that Heidi is her own person. And if Heidi understands the same with you, which she probably does, it will be fine. Regardless, if she feels the same way or not."Kyle said after cutting Kenny off.
"Are you sure?"Kenny asked
"Of course man. And I see the way she looks at you in class. There's some kind of chemistry. And knowing her, even if there isn't anything there, she wouldn't want things to be awkward."
"Really? I mean I've thought that she might but I couldn't tell if it was my imagination."
"Ya man. I think your cancers are pretty high."
"Thanks."Kenny said
Kenny smiled to himself. It was good to know at least one of his friends had his back in all of this.
And it was Kyle nonetheless. Someone who he thought lost faith in him. But Kyle was proving otherwise.
The boys continued to organize themselves for lunch. A minute passed by before one of them spoke.
"I really do appreciate it Kyle. It means a lot to have you backing me up on this."Kenny said
"Of course man, you're my friend. I'm always gonna have your back. Just make sure to talk and put everything out there. Don't keep thing from me because all I want to do is help."Kyle responded
Kenny thought back to the time Kyle talked to him on the tetherball court. Kyle really did put a lot of his faith into him.
And all he wanted was a little bit of honesty. Sounded like a good deal to Kenny. Guess he was finally striking out with deals lately. Hopefully he could keep it up and reach his goal.
"C'mon man. Let's go to lunch."Kyle said he packed his things and moved to the direction of the lunch room.
"Ya, sounds good."added
The boys kept walking together, hoping to run into Stan or any of their other friends.
"So, do you have any plans?"Kyle asked
"Plans for what?"Kenny responded
"You know, how you're gonna ask Heidi out?"Kyle questioned
Kenny put a finger to his chin. He also couldn't help but blush at the thought of it. Him, alone with Heidi and ready to ask her.
"Well, I was just gonna ask her to the movies or something and hope that the situation would bend in my favor."Kenny answered
Kyle raised an eyebrow.
"That's it? Well it's not bad but it's to cliche and could lead to procrastination. It doesn't need to be super elaborate but you should have some idea of how to "set the mood". You don't want to just go all Willy nilly with it."Kyle said
"Ooo?"Kenny asked
"Ya, you can't control the way Heidi feels about you, but you can make a situation where both of you feel comfortable enough to have a talk to express one another's feelings towards each other."
"And how would I go about doing that?"
"Well, let's get some food first."
Kenny smiled and nodded in agreement.
Kenny and Kyle saw their friend in the poof ball beanie waiting for them. Stan was waving them down. They failed to see Cartman but neither of them could care less about him.
Perhaps, that could be seen as mistake.
(Minutes before.)(Heidi's P.O.V)
Heidi walked down the hall to her locker and was fiddling with the ends of her hair.
She kept thinking about Kenny's smile and how it made her feel. She also couldn't help but feel confused about what he was trying to say to her.
Was he going to ask her out? Try and filet with her? Or try to pull some joke?
Heidi gritted her teeth.
Why did everything have to be so complicated? Why did she have to have feelings like this?
What made things worse was that she pretty much was also in love with Mysterion. And the likelihood of that ever aiming something was slim to none.
But it was something that still nodded away at her.
Kenny was the obvious choice. It was somebody she knew and had been there for her emotional years and vice versa. He would do anything for her and she would do anything for him.
It was a mutually, beneficial relationship that could be something more.
Although, the problem of Cartman still presented itself. And that was the last thing she wanted to deal with. Even if Cartman wasn't jealous or spiteful, who's to say that Heidi wouldn't get roped into any of his shenanigans involving Kenny.
She didn't want to put her personal life and others around her in jeopardy. Kenny knew that as well but still manages. Maybe he would be able to keep her out of it all. Then again, maybe he couldn't.
And then there was Mysterion. A completely different beast altogether. He had no ties to any other aspects of Heidi's life. At least he didn't seem to. Meaning Cartman or the like wouldn't be an issue.
He had also been there for Heidi similar to Kenny. He was kind and willing to listen, once again, similar to Kenny. He just didn't have the baggage Kenny did when it came down to his friends.
However, there was an undeniable truth as to why Heidi couldn't pursue anything further with Mysterion. He was a vigilante who had to keep his identity secret and wouldn't fold for anyone.
Even if he was willing to share it with her, Heidi didn't know anything about Mysterion besides the obvious. But, that could make things interesting. Learning about someone new.
But none of this would matter if Mysterion already had someone. A girlfriend? A wife? The last one may be a stretch as mysterion did seem a bit young. But Heidi still knew so little about him that he may even have a boyfriend. It wasn't out of the question.
Still, both Kenny and Mysterion had positives and negatives. And Heidi still couldn't quite choose.
It had gotten to the point now that Heidi was beginning to develop a headache. Who knew this much personal struggle to choose the right guy could be this mentally taxing.
Heidi rubbed her head in pain. Out of nowhere, Heidi heard a voice call her name from behind her.
"Hello, Heidi."The voice said
Heidi turned around to be greeted by a small girl with pigtails.
"Hello Karen. How are you today?"Heidi answered
"I'm fine. How about yourself?"Karen asked
Despite the mental gymnastics she was putting herself through, Heidi was actually having a good day.
"I'm all good. I had a fun time hanging out with you this weekend."Heidi said
"I did too. Especially after everything that happened last week."Karen said
Heidi frowned, remembering everything that had unfolded the week prior.
"Ya, but it seems everything is under control now."Heidi said
"Yep, Kenny and Eric were actually able to talk yesterday."Karen said with excitement.
Heidi's face changed back to a smile. How could she not when faced with Karen's optimistic attitude. Some could say it was naivety, But Heidi chose to believe differently.
"That's...that's good to hear."Heidi added
Heidi stutters a bit. She didn't expect improvement in Kenny and Cartman's relationship so soon. Especially after how hurt Kenny appeared to be.
Maybe she would have to worry a little less if Kenny was on Cartman's good side.
"Ya...speaking of which, do you know where he is?"Karen asked
"Ooo? I really don't know. I think Kenny went to hang out with his friends at lunch. He's probably by their normal-
"No, not Kenny...I'm looking for Cartman. I wanted to talk to him."Karen said
Heidi was a little surprised. And she'd be lying if she didn't want to convince Karen to stay away from him.
But Karen was her own person that had her own thoughts and set of morals. And she did have a good support system if anything did go south with her and Cartman.
And Heidi didn't want Karen to gain all this negative pressure from people. Forcing her to double down like Heidi had done. That's the last thing Heidi wanted for anyone, especially for someone as young as Karen.
But Heidi did feel the need to at least warn her. Not because she wanted to spite Cartman. Heidi was beyond that and better than to pick a fight. But because she cared about Karen. Heidi couldn't forgive herself if Karen's innocence was tainted due to her lack of warning. And seeing what it would do to Kenny would be just as bad.
"I'm sorry Karen but I don't."Heidi said
Karen lowered her head in disappointment.
"Alright...thank you."Karen said
Heidi figured it was time for her to talk to Karen about Cartman.
"Karen, do you mind if I give you some advice?"Heidi asked
"Not at all Heidi."Karen said
"Listen, it's nice that you have found a new friend in Cartman. And, sometimes...he can be-
Heidi was struggling to finish that sentence. What she wanted to say was that he was evil. Especially after all the physical and mental torture Cartman had put Heidi through.
As she tried to get the words out, they hung like a heavy gas in the back of her throat. Almost intoxicating her. It made her sick to imagine Cartman in a good light.
But, Heidi swollen her pride and her own feelings for Karen's sake.
"He can be...good. But he's...not perfect. And so I just want you to promise me something."Heidi said
"Promise?"Karen questioned
Heidi held up her pinkie.
"Just promise me that you'll think for yourself. And be careful. And just don't let others bother you. Do what you feel is right for you. Which would make what I'm saying right now a bit useless...but still. Just be you for you Karen."Heidi said
Karen smiled and locked her pinkie with Heidi's and grabbed her hand.
"I promise Heidi. I'll be me."Heidi said with an adorable smile.
Heidi smiled back.
"Thank you Karen."Heidi replied
They broke the lock they had.
"Well, I gotta get going so I can meet up with my friends. Would you like to come?"Heidi asked
"I'll have to decline. I gotta meet up with someone."Karen replied
Heidi remembered who that someone was supposed to be.
"Alright, I'll see you around Karen."Heidi said
Karen began to turn and wave.
"See you later."Karen said.
Heidi's smile still held as Karen walked away. Heidi turned back to the direction of her locker and began walking down her hall.
As Heidi walked, she stared at her feet and began to let her thoughts take over her focus once again.
Considering everything, Heidi was glad to hear that Kenny and Cartman were moving in a positive direction. Even if they were only doing it for Karen's sake.
It looked like the situation was beginning to heal. A situation where everyone involved gets their happy ending.
Heidi looked up and was met with the site of a chubby boy with a blue beanie walking down the halls whilst on his phone.
"Eric!"Heidi could hear behind her. She could tell that it was Karen. Heidi focused her sight on Cartman.
She furrowed her brow as the boy approached.
As Heidi passed him, she grabbed the arm of his jacket. Cartman reacted with shock.
"What the hell?"Cartman said while looking at Heidi in his peripheral. Heidi kept her vision at the hallway and didn't even look at Cartman.
Heidi swallowed her own.
"Listen, she doesn't know who you truly are. But I do. So, I'm giving you only one warning. If you think I'll stand by and let you pull anything on her, then you're sadly mistaken. Kenny's wrath isn't the only one you'll be facing."Heidi said with a serious tone.
Cartman shrugged off Heidi's grip.
"Tch. Fuckin weak threat dude."Cartman said
Cartman walked away, not seeming fazed by Heidi's threat in any way.
Heidi knew what she said and that she meant it. And that's all she needed. That she knew that she would protect Karen from cartman's evil clutches.
Heidi continued to walk to her locker. And the thoughts kept running through her head.
"Would Kenny and I actually work? Would Cartman always be a problem? And what about Myst? Do actually know him well enough?"Heidi thought.
Heidi eventually made it to her locker where her friends were talking about something.
"And not even including his performance, La La land is the superior Gosling film to the Notebook."Wendy said
"No no no! The ending scene is the cherry on top of a delicious cake. La La land is like ice cream. If he has some good moments and the music but outside of that , the plot is just cliche. And the ending physically hurts me."Bebe retorted
Heidi was aware of the conversation her friends were having but her mind was a lot more focused on other things.
She figured that it wouldn't be a terrible idea to ask for their advice.
Well...Bebe's idea's could be...interesting and ditzy at times but she always had the best intentions. And Wendy always said how she felt and thought. Especially, if she was passionate about the thing she was talking about. Heidi was just hoping relationship choices were something that she was passionate about.
Heidi turned to face them.
"Ummm hey guys. Can I ask you something?"Heidi asked
The two girls stopped debating and looked towards Heidi.
"Hey Heidi, what's up?"Wendy replied
Heidi felt her stomach drop a bit. She didn't imagine trying to convey this situation would feel so awkward for her.
"So I have this hypothetical situation. It's for a friend by the way. And it would take place in an alternative universe. Did I also mention that this is a hypothetical."Heidi stated
Wendy and Bebe looked at each other with a grin. They could tell what this was about. They could read Heidi like the page of a book.
"What is it Heid's?"Bebe asked
"Well so...there's this guy. He's pretty great and has really cemented a great friendship with me. And I feel like it would be dumb to not consider trying to make something more. But he has external forces that are gonna make things...difficult for us.."Heidi said
Bebe and Wendy look at each other with more subtlety. They knew this was an eventuality. Especially after he saw them on the night of karaoke.
They also knew that a certain someone might be problematic for Heidi and her "guy".
"But that's not the only issue…"Heidi said
Wendy and Bebe's faces then showed a stain of confusion.
"There is another guy. He's super sweet. And he's been there for me as well. But I honestly don't know much about him outside of some basic stuff. And he's been pretty secretive about it. And now I'm torn. Do I go with the guy I know but is risky or do I go with the guy who seems to be keeping stuff from. Even if it's for my own good or something lame like that?"Heidi finished
Heidi had just presented a surprising predicament to her friends. Wendy needed some time to think this out. She wanted to make sure her friend was given the most realistic answer she could while considering the humanity of the parties involved.
She figured Heidi would need time to learn more about this secretive guy before going forward. But Wendy also knew that guys can get impatient and even though Kenny was the patient type, he would eventually ask questions. And that might lead to the situation becoming...problematic. Especially considering Cartman is involved.
As Wendy kept rehearsing scenarios in her head, Bebe was ready with her idea. She didn't think things through as much as her black haired friend.
"Alright Heid's, here's what you got to do, you have to get the tension out with this secretive guy. Give him a good ol tounge punch down the throat. That should loosen him up a bit. And if that doesn't work, try it with the "guy" you know. If he ain't with it, then you're out of luck. Dumb both of them."Bebe said
Heidi wasn't sure if Bebe was messing with her or not. Maybe she hadn't had enough information?
Regardless, Heidi didn't feel that Bebe's solution was very practical.
Wendy rolled her eyes at Bebe's advice. Seems like she had the same advice for everyone. It didn't matter how many times Kenny's deaths reset things, Bebe was her old, cliche self.
"That seems very dramatic...I'll keep it in mind."Heidi said, trying to be nice.
Wendy decided it was time for her to present her option.
"Although I don't agree with the majority of what Bebe said, I do think you should address this secretive guy in some way. It would make for an interesting relationship to learn about somebody you genuinely enjoy being around. And if he's not opening up to you normally...then you might need to do something dramatic. However, I don't think you should just keep the guy you know along for the ride. You need to talk to him and see how he feels. Same goes with the secretive guy. After you've collected all the information, Do what you feel is best. Because at the end of the day, you know you best."Wendy said
Now that's the kind of advice Heidi was going for. It did force Heidi to make a decision or two. But, she was her own person that was capable of making her own decisions.
Even with the guidance of someone, Heidi still needed to be the one to take action to solve her current situation.
Heidi smiled to herself. Regardless of how helpful their advice might seem, she was still appreciative her friends were willing to give any.
They had actually been pretty cool about the whole karaoke shtick and hadn't really said anything for them ruining their chance to hang out. These two girls were different from the girls that called her out on at the Italian restaurant.
Maybe they were trying to make up for it. Or maybe Heidi had caught them at the right time of the month.
Regardless, Heidi was happy to have her fitness around and have her back.
"Thank you...both of you. I'll see what I can apply to my situation. I really do appreciate you two having my back and giving me advice."Heidi said
"Of course."Bebe said
As someone who was kind of aware of what her words had done to Heidi back when she was with Cartman, Wendy was happy to see this expression from her friend.
"No problem."Wendy added with a smile.
"Now, I'm kind of hungry. Can we go to lunch?"Bebe added
Heidi nodded as her friends began to walk.
(30-45 minutes later)(Kenny's P.O.V
Lunch passed by with nothing really notable.
Well, Kenny had a battle of wills against Kyle in tetherball. Both boys gave it everything they had. At times, the ball seemed invisible to the naked because of the speed the two boys achieved.
Kenny normally took his gloves. This normally made his hands very red and achy after constantly volleying the ball back. It still rained true today.
After lunch time had ended, the four boys went back to class. Stan and Kyle walked alongside Kenny who was looking at his hands.
"Dude, those look pretty bad. You might want to go to the nurse and get them looked at just in case."Kyle said
"No way. Their battle scars from beating you in our legendary match."Kenny said
"It's teather ball, there is no winner unless you suck ass."Stan added
Kenny shifted his hands back into his gloves.
"Don't worry guys. I'll be fine."Kenny said
"If you say so."Kyle added
As the boys were about to enter the class, Kenny noticed that Heidi was entering with her friends as well. She gave Kenny a quick smile.
Kenny smiled back and felt this warm feeling come up from within him. Kyle noticed the quick interaction.
Kyle put his hand on Kenny's shoulder and whispered something in his ear.
"Don't beat around the bush man, ask her to hang out."Kyle said to Kenny
Kenny gulped at this realization that he'd probably have no choice but to.
The boys took their seats at their respective seats.
Kenny's nerves were begging to get to him. His hands were begging to sweat inside of his gloves.
A multitude of thoughts began to cross his mind.
"Alright alright. She's just a girl. The girl that you've been getting to know and befriend over the past month or more. The girl you see at day and night. The girl that you really can't be without."Kenny thought to himself.
"Fuck.."Kenny thought to himself
Kenny put his head down on the desk. He needed a way to deal with this and fast.
As much as his anxiety hated to admit it, Kenny knew that Kyle was right. Kenny would need to swallow his fear of rejection to take a chance that Heidi thought of him as something more than just a friend.
Heidi noticed Kenny's sudden cranial collision with his desk.
She was a little confused but didn't think to question it. Maybe he was tired?
Heidi noticed the way Kenny's hair fell from his head. It was actually pretty damn gorgeous. It was comparable to the mane of a proud lion.
Heidi began to think about Wendy's advice. If she did want to learn more and find out who myst was, she would probably have to address Kenny in some sort of way. Which may lead not just to Kenny's broken heart, but her own.
Heidi began to fiddle with the ends of her hair as she could feel the anxiety.
She didn't want to feel that kind of pain again. Nor did she want to inflict it on someone else she cared about.
She wanted to say something. Maybe offer a hypothetical and an alternate version to what she asked her friends for. Maybe it could make the situation easier.
Heidi began to bite her lip. She would have to act.
As Heidi began to open her mouth to speak, Kenny lifted his head in a quick and powerful movement. It was strong to the point that it shook his and Heidi's desk.
Kenny turned to Heidi with an awkward smile. Heidi was both confused and a little scared.
"Heidi"Kenny said
"Yes?"Heidi questioned
"Do you wanna go on a date this weekend? Just to the movies? It doesn't have to be a date but...just me and you hanging out."
Heidi blushed. The word date did suggest a bit much. But she did like hanging out with Kenny.
At the same time she didn't want to lead him on. But then a thought popped into Heidi's head.
But what if it was research? What if it was to put an end to all the shit and get a better understanding of their situation.
And maybe would prove himself over Mysterion when it came to Heidi.
"Well...what do you say?"Kenny asked
Heidi realized that her thoughts moved quicker in her head. Kenny was probably confused why she didn't answer.
Heidi decided now was the time to at least try. Try to see what this life with Kenny might be like. With just a simple date.
"Just trying it out..right?"Heidi thought
Heidi smiled at Kenny.
"Of course, I'd love to Kenny."Heidi replied
Kenny smiled at Heidi's response.
"Alright, this weekend sounds good?"Kenny asked
"Ya, sounds good. Saturday."Heidi said
"Sweet...you like movies?"
"Yep, just nothing with Adam Sandler and/or Rob Schneider. Just a bit too over the top for me."Heidi said
He wasn't sure about Adam Sandler, but Kenny knew Rob Schneider was no walk in the park to deal with. Especially when it came to sharing a body.
"Ya their not really my style either."Kenny added
Hopefully, both Heidi and Kenny would find that they may fit each others style.
Another chapter did and done. One step closer to the end of the first part. I've really had to sit down and write out dialogue before. Most of the time, it just flows naturally. I'm gonna use this approach more often so I can have it all come together. So it may take me a little longer to publish. I do plan on sticking to publishing at least twice a month. And with the schools year winding down, I may be able to boost that. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. The next me is gonna have a lot more fluff for everyone looking for a romantic aspect. I hope you all would consider reviewing and critiquing down below. And I hope you all have a great day(or night based on the part of the world you live in.
