The Multiverse

Chapter 1: A New Life

"School had just ended, and summer was just beginning, the time where everyone starts to wild out in the days of their youth. The young teens were inspiring to big things this summer, but what they didn't know is that their lives may very well be threatened by the folk lore legend of the town, the ghastly ghost named Ru-"

Just as the words filled the screen, they were also deleted from it as well. I thought to myself about what to write for the story I was asked to make by my friends. I had went through quite a lot of plots already, ranging from romantic comedies to horror stories. It was hard for me to make a story for people who are very critical about most things I do already. I'm actually pretty lazy do to requests for people such as drawing or doing things that require my creativity. People tell me that I need to straighten up for the 11th grade, that it is one of the big steps in my life. I had just turned 16 this year, so I really didn't take it to heart that much. After all, it is just another year of highschool passing by to let me know that it almost time to go to college. I hopped off my computer to lay down in my bed to read the books I hadn't touched in awhile. Reading is just another way for me to procrastinate doing what I say I would do. I start to doze off but hear a voice call for me from downstairs. It my good friend, Liz Welter, probably calling me to come down and eat. My parents died me at a young age and had lived alone since then so Liz's parents help out with paying my house bills. Liz's parents own a company called the GUA, they work with new entrepreneurs to help make their dreams a reality. The company profits a lot so I'm really grateful for them helping me out like this. They do this because they were good friends with my parents, and feel bad for me not having them in my life. However, since Liz was always around me when I was young, she knows what I consider as food (cup ramen), which in turn, she doesn't thinks that my diet is not the best so she comes over to cook me dinner. She is my childhood friend but I see her as a sister for all the times she came through for me. As I come downstairs, I come to find Drake and his girlfriend, Mary, sitting on the couch talking to each other. We go to the same school and ended up taking the same classes so that how I got to know them. I start to head towards the dining room to see Liz finishing up cooking. I head over to help her fix the plates and set the table.

"So, are you almost done with story?",Liz asked.

"No, I don't care enough to even continue it" I replied.

"Come on, don't be like that", she said,

"Okay then, give me a reason to finish it"

"You should finish it because you love and care about me"

"Sooooooo...."

She sighed, "I cook for you, that sure be enough for you". The only thing I could do was nod my head at that remark, since I can't cook for my life. As I set the table, I call over the others to get their food and to sit down at the table. As we eat, we exchange in some small talk about school and life problems, then we play some video games. Afterwards, we start to clean up and somehow, the topic of the story comes up. I tell them that I'm in a slump right at the moment and can't figure out what to write.

"So you're telling me that you have NO ideas of what to write about", Drake says, "but you are so good at coming up with tales, how come you can't now."

"Well the reason for that my good friend, is because of the lack of motivation I have. I need a certain amount of it to do things and well this requires a lot of it. So until I get enough of that, I can't come up with ideas to make the story." As I come up with more excuses, I get cut off by Mary.

"Well maybe instead of coming up with reasons not to do it, why not go out for a change to get ideas?" Mary asked. "That way you can get some exercise as well."

"I might do that, or I can go to some fanfiction site and take ideas from there, that's an option." I said.

"Don't do that, then you'll just make a story about some characters people ship together." Liz says.
