Why did I have to be a stupid pawn?! Why couldn’t I be a brave knight or something?! Why?! Ok... Calm down. The whole reason Five gave me this journal was to calm down.
Four is a pawn in the not-so-wonderful world of chess. He (tries) to relive stress by writing in a journal his best friend Five gave him. Still, he wants something more. He wants to be...
A Knight.

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete

Hueless
This is a dumb story that is very very loosely based on my college life and also my dreams. The point of the writing is to be shitty, so keep in mind the sucks on person. I wrote this over the course of like 3 days with some voice memos, a lot of confusion, and ChatGPT 4. This is something to read in order to truly appreciate real writing later.Complete
