The first challenge, huh? What the hell was it going to be? Maybe they'd have us swim?

I hope not, cause that water was freezing!
"T-this is one h-heck of a walk…" the skinny, weird guy said. What was his name? Harold? "N-not even the p-power walking m-moves I studied are h-helping that...

Humans were little more than silly fairy tales. This was something everyone knew- they were as "real" as the bedtime stories parents told their kids to keep them in line. I knew this, or at least I believed that to be true for the longest time. But...
Life had a habit of passing people by if they didn't pay attention. To be honest, I was feeling a little bit like that.
As Iruma, Val, Alice and I sat quietly in one of the school's many courtyards, I couldn't help but think such thoughts.
"I can't believe they have homework too…" Iruma said...
"Yeah," you say. "I've got acting school. I know, mom. You don't have to remind me."
"Then eat," she says. "Your dinner's getting cold."
Only because all of you kept asking questions, you want to say, but you don't.
Dinner's good, warm, and filling. That's basically all you can ask for...
Grant frowns, and he's not the only one.
"Morgan and Robin?" he asks, repeating who you'd asked to spar with. "As in, both of them? We've only got time for the one sparring session, we can't do two after another. I appreciate that you're eager, but pick one."
"Not one," you say. "Both."...
"Oh, umm? It's on?" I stared at the camera, swallowing. "Right! Ok!"
The camera stared back as if it were some eldritch being. I could feel countless eyes looking through its lens and all I could do was freeze. Was… was this really a good idea?
I forgot what I was going to say. Why was I doing...
Threadmarks: Chapter 15: Happy Little Tree Friends
The demon world was a surprisingly large place, all things considered. I'd taken a look at one of their maps just to check a few things, and, well, it was big.
"I wish I knew how to read a map…"
I'd only seen a map of Earth once or twice before, but it was around the same size as this, right...
The more I kept seeing demons, the less I saw them as all that different from humans, at least when it came to the way they acted.
"Don't worry, master Iruma, I'll-" Alice fell to the ground, clutching his throat as if he were choking. "M-My m-magical… en-"
He couldn't speak anymore.
"What...
Fire was nice and all, but not when it was on me.
"Lee?!" Iruma gasped, eyes bulging out like melons. "Your foot's on fire!"
…
"Yeah…"
I kicked at the air, trying and failing to hide my growing panic. My foot was on fire!!
Strangely enough, it didn't hurt, but still…
"My foot's on...
"It all just sounds needlessly complicated," I said, crossing my arms and shaking my head. "Still don't like these ranks."
Iruma gently tugged on my arm, giving me a, "Please don't start anything" look. Really? Did he think I was going to get into a fight because of this?
"How else are ya...

I… I never really had actual friends. Maybe something was just wrong with me, but I was just no good at talking.
"It's ok sweety. Just be yourself and I'm sure you'll make lots of friends!"
Mom always told me...
"Tell me about the sports clubs," you say, leaning your chin on your hand. "Anything interesting?"
"We've got a basketball club," Isaac says. "That your thing?"
"Mostly big leagues," you tell him. "From time to time. NBA."
"Yeah, well, that's not what this is," he agrees. "I think our team...
You sigh.
Well, if he wants it, he's gonna get it.
You step forward and bring your fists up, squaring up silently.
For a moment, you make sure to judge the distance. There's maybe ten feet between the two of you, with a bunch of students thronging to the sides of the hallway. Quentin's...
Sometimes you wish you didn't stand out.
In most ways you don't, really. You're taller than the average Korean boy of your age, but not by a lot, so in itself that's not so rare. You're a little thicker at the shoulders, your hair doesn't fall neatly into shape but instead is a wild tangle...
