The Gifted Curse

15: I'm a What?

(Sorry I missed my update on Monday! Therefore I give you two chapters!! YAY!!! (hopefully you're happy about that :) anyway I love you all and I'm really sorry!!)

A/n: Heh, sea what I did there? HA GOTCHA AGAIN! GET PUNNED ON FOOL! :D

I'm so happy we've made it to the 15th chapter of TGC! I'm so excited and like... super thrilled. This story has helped me get through my utter hate for myself. I know that sounds weird, like, Andy, wth are you talking about? It's just a story... don't be weird. Don't make things awkward, you're not going to get attention because of this. 

... That's not what I'm aiming for... you see, I'm a big girl and I've ALWAYS wanted to change how I look at myself. Writing TGC helps me think. It helps me see what's going on in my head and realize what I'm feeling. I'm also a teen of 15... so that probably doesn't help, but actually putting an effort into something feels so good. It feels like TGC has become my child or something. It's helped me through one of my many MOODS. I now see that the only way I can change is if I do it for myself and not think that changing my body is going to fulfill my hopes and dreams of an utterly cheesy and passionate romance. Although I am a ROMANCE-ian?? (I mainly dabble in the arts of cheese and tea (romance and drama... -_- Yeah, please hate me, but it'll never be as much as I used to hate myself) OOOOF! I just made myself really sad... Okay, well, anyway, what I'm trying to say is, Thank You! Thank you to that silly idea I had for a story in Bio class my Freshman year... thank you to anyone who reads this. Thank you to my sister (for once again listening to my late night writing sessions. I giggle to myself and talk to myself... it's how I work... don't judge!...) Thank you. 

Oh, by the way, The Gifted Curse is planned to be 25-30 chapters. I hope to TREMENDOUSLY improve my writing as we go along and then go back and edit all the chapters. Hopefully, I also learn how to write a good enough story, heh. So we're about halfway through the story :D Okay... maybe I should be a little sad, I DID just confess my feelings for this story... BUT! I want to make a second book! I don't know what it would be about because when I sit down to write it's just me randomly coming up with stuff in my head. No plan, no nothing. I sit down and let my fingers do the work. ;) So, I'm as clueless as you are where this book is going, but I hope it's going in the right direction. 

I also think this is a good time to announce this since it is the 15th chapter. A milestone. :) TGC is having a sister!! GAH! IM SORRY I DIDN'T TELL YOU GUYS SOONER! It'll be called 'The Good Parts of Evil' It's about Eric... who (spoiler, but not really) Is bisexual. ;) Love that for us! AHHHH!! I'm so excited. I'm calling it a sister series because it'll have Olivia, Dillon, Katie, Thomas, Scott, mom, dad, Grams, you know, the bunch :) and a new little cinnamon roll that I created with the help of my bestfwend. It'll be my first time writing a non-straight romance. OOOPS! SPOILER!

Now, don't you think this Author's note has been long enough? Well... I do too. I just published the 9th chapter like... 5 hours ago and finished chapter 14 like... 20 minutes ago. It's tight OK. Without further ado... the milestone! The chapter itself.... 15!!!!! WOOOOOOO

A bubble of laughter pushes past my lips and sweat starts to form on my brow. "W-what?" I laugh. Dillon's lips are between his teeth as his chews them nervously. Old Grams Catherall looks at me through her crinkled eyes. It takes me a moment to realize that this situation is all too serious for my giggles. I quiet down. "What do you mean Dillon? You can't like me." I tilt my head and look at him with what I hope isn't a stern look. His feelings for me were supposed to be a joke. They were supposed to be fake. Not real. As in, we'd be friends and if kissing and other stuff happened, there'd be no feelings involved. That way we could be great friends and have a great bedside relationship. Wait... that came out wrong. That's not what I-
