Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2017 19:42:28 -0700 From: James Winters Subject: The Nerd and the Jock Ch. 7 Hey guys! Welcome back to another chapter of the Nerd and the Jock! I'm excited for some new storylines that I hope can unfold greatly. Alright, let's get into the story. P.S. make sure to donate to nifty.org at this link: http://donate.nifty.org/donate.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wake up in my bed, looking at the time. 5:45 a.m. I felt the warmth from Lucas. Man, his muscular body got me turned on. I turned around and rubbed his chest. He opened his eyes, slowly. I could see that he was sleepy. "Hey Lucas, time to get up. School today," I said, rubbing his nipples. "Ugh... I don't wanna," Lucas said, closing his eyes and trying to go back to sleep. "Come on. If you get up right now, you can shower with me," I said. Lucas opened one eye, looking straight into mine. His blue eyes met my eyes, staring at me. "That seems like a good deal," Lucas grinned. I got up and walked off to the bathroom. I started the shower and right as I turned around, my face ran into Lucas' smooth, nice chest. I looked up and giggled. "Sorry," Lucas said, "Just wanted to look at your nice plump bubble butt," Lucas said, smiling. "It's not that plump is it?" I asked, trying to turn around and look at my butt. "No it is," Lucas said, laughing and slapping it gently. I jumped as it was still kinda tender. I looked at him, pulled him down, and kissed him. After pulling back, which was pretty hard to do, I looked into his eyes, "Let's take our shower." I got into the shower and he wasn't that far behind. We were both naked, close together. His dick was pressed against my ass. It felt magical. I got some soap and turned around. His dick met mine. He looked down and smiled. I rubbed my hands together and soaped up myself. "May I?" I asked, with a stupid grin on my face. He smiled, "Of course." I put my hands on his chest and abs. I rubbed him, making his dick twitch. I looked down as I soaped up his body. "Always so horny," I said, laughing. Lucas looked down and blushed. "Sorry. I know I need to control myself," Lucas said, trying to push down his cock. "You're too cute," I said, kissing his chest. "Love you," Lucas replied, kissing my head. "Love you more," I said, giggling. We continued to soap up each other, getting everywhere. Have I ever said that he was hot? "Hey Jacob, I wanted to know if you would like to come to the game tonight? I know you don't really like sports so if you don't really want to come, it's fine. I understand. You're more into math and science," Lucas said, soaping up my back and washing me off. "Oh I'd love to go. For you obviously," I said, turning around to Lucas. He looked at me with a big smile. "Thanks! It means a lot!" Lucas said, picking me up from the ground and kissing me. I smiled while kissing him. It was magical. He let me down and we finished up in the showers. My dad was able to take us to take us to school. The whole day went like normal. We went to all of our classes, sat in our new spot, and the day went by normal. It came time for my PE period. I hung out with my only two friends in that class, Ethan and Juliana. Ethan had a new hair style, making him look more like a jock. "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked. "Nothing much," Ethan replied. Juliana said the same. "How was the party?" I asked. "Pretty fun actually," Ethan replied, "Hanging with the jocks has some perks." "That's cool. I think its does have some benefits. Actually, I was wondering if you guys would like to go to the football game tonight," I asked. Ethan looked at Juliana. Juliana shrugged. "Well I think we can hang out as well. I'm sorry that we haven't done it in a while," I said. Ethan gave me a little smile, "Sure I guess. Juliana, what about you?" Juliana nodded, "Sure." I smiled, "Cool! I'll meet you guys there then," I said. "Sounds great!" Juliana replied. After school ended, I went back home to prepare myself for the game. I read a crash course on football, trying to learn about the different positions. Suddenly, I heard some moaning. I walked to my brother's room and I looked in, noticing that Tristan was jacking off to some straight porn. I wanted to laugh but I didn't want to give away my cover. His balls were jiggling up and down. "Guess he had an early day," I thought. I walked away, leaving him to do his own thing. As it got closer to 5 o' clock, I got dressed for the game. I wanted to wear something that was casual but also nice for Lucas. I came up with wearing some pants and a button up shirt. I liked it and I hoped Lucas would as well. Suddenly, my phone got a text. I looked at my phone and saw that Ethan had texted me. *Ethan: Hey Jacob, I'm outside your house. My mom is picking Juliana and you up so we can go. Wanna ride?* I smiled. *Jacob: Sure. I'll be right there.* I ran down the stairs, grabbed my wallet and left the room. I saw Ethan in his car. He waved to me and I got in. Ethan's mom turned around to me, "Jacob! How are you? I haven't seen you in a while." "Yeah. I have been kinda busy lately," I said. "Oh, that's too bad," Ethan's mom said. We drove towards the High School to get to the game. Ethan helped Juliana out of the car as I got out. Ethan's mom drove away and we headed up to the high school stadium. I looked around, smiling. "I didn't think you'd be so interested in sports," Ethan said. "Trying new things I guess," I replied. We found some seats and sat down. The stadium was pretty full. We all sat down, hanging out with each other for a first time in a while. "So Jacob, how's Lucas doing? Is he playing tonight?" Juliana asked. I nodded, "Yeah he is. He's doing pretty good." "Is that another reason as to why you want to be here?" Ethan asked. I got red, "Kinda. Lucas asked me." Ethan smirked, "Figured. But it's cool." I smiled at Ethan. "Sorry Ethan. I didn't mean to..." "No no it's fine. I understand," Ethan said, "Plus, I have some friends that are playing as well." Juliana looked back and forth at us. Then she got up. "I think I'm gonna get something to drink. You guys want anything?" "I'm good," I said. Ethan said the same thing. Juliana walked off. I could see Lucas down on the field. Funny how you could recognize someone after spending time with them. Plus, I think I knew my boyfriend. "So, was there a lot of partying?" I asked. Ethan looked at me, a little confused, "What?" "At the party. Was it crazy?" I asked, smiling. "Oh. Yeah. Damian and Anthony were dancing around without shirts. You should have seen the girls," Ethan laughed, "Classic." I smiled, "We should hang out like we used to. As best friends. I just feel bad." "It's fine Jacob. I understand completely. I'll be fine," Ethan replied. After a while, we were hanging out. Juliana had gotten back from getting something to drink. The game was going as we talked. When Ethan and Juliana talked, I looked at the game. I saw the football fly up in the air and I tracked it with my eyes. I saw where it was going to land before it got into someone's hands. I looked down at the player who was supposed to catch the ball and it was Lucas. I watched him catch the ball and run to get more yards. Suddenly, he was tackled. He was grabbed and landed on his butt. The crowd cringed. It looked dangerous. I gasped pretty loudly, catching the attention of Ethan and Juliana. "What happened?" Juliana asked. "Lucas got hit," I said, "It looked bad." "Well... accidents happen in football," Ethan said. "Yeah but he... well I guess your right," I said. Ethan looked at me a little confused. "Why does Jacob care so much about Lucas?" Ethan asked. We watched as Lucas sat out for a little bit, recovering from the hit. I got nervous. I hope no one else could see. Ethan watched Damian run and tackle a member of the other team. He smiled and cheered. Everyone was actually. I think Ethan and Damian got close. Ethan actually got closer with the other jocks. He was changing. Guess we both were. "I'm gonna get something to eat. Anyone wanna come?" I asked. Ethan nodded, "I'll go with you." Ethan and I walked down the bleachers and went to the snack area. "So, what's with the new style? Just wondered about it. Looks good," I said. Ethan looked down at his clothes, "Oh. I just wanted to fit in with the jocks. Damian gave me the advice." I looked to the game. Lucas was looking better. I think he was close to getting back in the game. Lucas was talking to some other members on the team. "Well that's cool," I said, "Guess change is good." "Yeah," Ethan said, "Hey Jacob, what do you and Lucas do when you hang out together?" "Well we talk, watch tv, you know... the usual stuff." "Oh. Kinda like what we do," Ethan said, a little sad. I didn't see his emotions though. "Yeah. There's not much for us to do I guess," I said. "I should hang out with you sometime," Ethan said, "He seems to be your best friend at the moment. I can't let him take my position." "Don't worry Ethan. It's gonna be fine," I said, "We will hang out. Don't worry." Ethan gave me a forced smile. "Alright." I could feel some tension between us. He looked a little hurt. I felt bad and at fault. Sometimes relationships can get in the way with friendships. How can I choose between my boyfriend and my friend? It's impossible! After the game ended, our team cheered as they one. It was pretty much a slaughter as it was forty to six. I went onto the field with Ethan and Juliana after one of the ASB kids let us in. The boys were celebrating and going crazy. It was pretty wild. After that, the boys huddled. The team captain, Brad, got the team together. "Alright team! Party at my place tonight! You guys earned it! Now go hit the showers and get over to my place!" Brad yelled, "Let's get in a cheer!" Everyone put their hands in. Ethan, Juliana, and I stood away. "Great whites on three! One. Two. Three!" Brad yelled. "GREAT WHITES!" The team yelled out. Their voice kinda startled me. The team walked off but Lucas stuck around to ask Brad something. Brad nodded and walked off to go to the showers. Lucas turned around and saw me, surprised. He was sweaty but it made him glisten in the night. I smiled at his messy blonde hair. "Hey guys. Brad said that I could invite some friends. You guys wanna come?" Lucas asked, "It'll be fun." "I'll go!" Ethan said, excited to go to another jock party. Juliana agreed and so did I. Lucas smiled and patted us all on the shoulder as he passed us, going to the showers. "I'll meet you guys in a little bit! Go to the front of the school! Anthony will pick us up!" Lucas said, running off. Damn, he was sexy. We walked to the front of the school. "So what do we have to expect? I'm so excited! Especially since Anthony will be there. He's so cool! What are these high school parties like Ethan?" Juliana asked. Ethan laughed, "Well. There's a lot of girls and boys. Drinks and food and it gets dirty kinda lol. But we don't have to clean it," Ethan laughed, making me and Juliana laugh. I couldn't get my thoughts off of Lucas showering with other boys. I couldn't even imagine all the naked boys in there. As we arrived, we saw Anthony in his sports car. We all sat in the back while we waited on Lucas. Lucas wasn't that late actually. He came pretty quickly. He sat in the front and we all took off. "Hey, are you okay? You got hit pretty good out there," Anthony said. "Yeah I'm good. That's how football goes," Lucas said, smiling. "True. It wouldn't be fun without the violence," Anthony replied, laughing, "That way I can hit Damian around." Lucas laughed. Ethan did too. Anthony turned around to Juliana while he was driving for a quick second. Juliana smiled. "Did you like the game?" Anthony asked. "Yeah. First game I've been to. You did great," Juliana said. Anthony smiled, showing his nice white teeth, "Thanks Juliana. You're the best." I couldn't help but feel something going on between them. It was interesting. Anthony was in 11th grade while Juliana, Ethan, Lucas, and I were in 10th. I guess age is just a number to them, which I believe in. After all, Lucas is older than me. We arrived at the house, already seeing cars parked outside. We could hear the music playing. I hope the neighbors wouldn't complain. That could ruin everything. We all got out of the car and walked to the house, ready to party. When we got in, I looked around. A lot was going on. I saw jocks, cheerleaders, jock, and more cheerleaders. It was crazy. Music was blasting, people were dancing, it had an energetic feel to it. I looked at Lucas, who was moving a little with the music, staying with the beat. I smiled. "This is crazy," I said. "Never been to a party like this?" Lucas asked. I shook my head. "Oh you're missing out. Wanna get some food?" Lucas asked. I nodded. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the food area. Juliana and Anthony were dancing as Ethan met with Damian, who was hanging around the cheerleaders. When I finally saw the food, my stomach growled. "Whoa. That's a lot of food," I said, licking my lips. Lucas smiled. "Well, let's get some food." Lucas said, grabbing a plate and handing it to me. I grabbed some food, making my plate. After we got food, we sat on a sofa and watched some people dancing. I watched Juliana dancing and to my surprise, she could dance. I watched Anthony as he rolled his body and slowly took off his shirt. He had a pretty good body. He was a little thinner than Lucas but he did have a six pack, nice chest, nipples, and other nice features but he didn't even come close to what I had with Lucas. Lucas was an angel. Anthony danced with the beat. I saw some people drinking some drinks and dancing. Some jocks were chasing each other, wetting each other with their drinks. It was crazy but really fun. Lucas noticed my smile. "Didn't think you'd be so into this," Lucas said. I looked at him, "It's actually kinda fun." Lucas was moving a little to the beat. "Wanna dance?" Lucas asked. I looked at him. He put his food down and then he took mine and put it down as well. "I... well... I don't really dance that well," I said. "It's fine. Just move with the beat," Lucas said. We got up and started dancing a little. I wasn't that good but I started getting the hang of it. "Whoa Jacob! Looking good!" Juliana said, over the loud music, "Nice moves." "Oh... thanks Juliana. Not as good as you though," I said. Juliana smiled, "Thanks. Just having fun." I watched Lucas as he danced near Anthony. Anthony was admiring Lucas' moves and cheering him on. For a jock from Texas, he could dance pretty well. Anthony grabbed Lucas' shirt and took it off of him, making Lucas laugh. I got red. My pants were tingling. Suddenly, my shoulder was grabbed. Juliana looked at me. "Come on Lucas. Let loose," Juliana said. She pulled me in and we danced a little. It was kinda fun and I was kinda getting it down. After getting a little tired, I decided to get more to drink. That's when I saw Ethan, a bunch of cheerleaders, and Damian in a circle. A bottle was in the middle. I started getting hot. The famous party game, Spin the Bottle. I got closer. Close enough to watch. "Alright. If the bottle lands on you, you have to make out with that person for a whole minute!" One cheerleader said, making all the other cheerleaders gasp and giggle. Ethan and Damian smirked at each other, knowing that they had the potential to kiss some girls that night. I watched as the bottle spun. It landed on Damian and one of the cheerleaders. Damian went in for it, making out with the cheerleader. Damian was a tan Australian boy with blue eyes, brown curved up hair, and good looks. He had a nice body, like most of the jocks, but his most defining feature was his abs. He had a nice set of abs with a well kept happy trail traveling down to his pants. He was pretty much hairless all around the upper half of his body. Guess he liked it that way. Damian made out with the cheerleader, tongue and all. It reminded me of Lucas and I. I need his lips. After the minute passed, Damian pulled back and sat down, laughing. After that, some cheerleaders kissed each other. Finally, Ethan landed on a cheerleader and he made out with her. His kiss was passionate and sloppy, making me hot. He looked like a good kisser. I really wanted to kiss Lucas right now. I was getting really excited. After Ethan finished, he smiled, looking like he had accomplished a great task. He really enjoyed kissing the cheerleaders. When one of the cheerleaders spun, it landed on both Damian and Ethan. The girls squealing in unison. Damian grabbed Ethan's head and kissed him. They both ignited, taking over each other's mouths. Ethan was kissing the junior jock, Damian. "Damn, they look like they really like it. Ethan's really getting in there," I said. Ethan's tongue fought with Damian, making their kiss sloppy. The minute seemed to last forever. I checked the time and the minute had passed but they kept going. Suddenly, they broke. Ethan wiped his mouth, laughing and turning red. Damian winked at Ethan. I decided to go get my drink before I got too excited. When I was getting a drink, Lucas came up. "Say, have you seen a cute boy about this tall. He's pretty adorable and nerdy. It's hard to miss him in this crowd," Lucas said, joking with me. I smiled, "How are you doing? Are you sore?" "When I was dancing I wasn't. Now I kinda am. You should have seen it. Anthony had his hands all over my arms. It was funny. He does that to everyone," Lucas said. I smiled, "Wanna go somewhere. I really want to kiss you right now," I said, not believing that I just said that. Lucas grinned. I stared at his muscles on his body, since he was shirtless. "I thought you'd never ask Florida boy," Lucas said, rubbing my head. "I'll follow your lead cowboy," I said, following him. We went upstairs. I wasn't sure if we were aloud to but we did. Lucas went into the spare bedroom and let me in. We closed the door behind us. He laid on the bed, sticking out his finger and pointing to me to guide me over to him. I got hot and horny at the same time. I took off my shirt and laid on top of Lucas. We made out, making it passionate and taking it slow, building up the intensity of the kiss as time passed. I grabbed onto his arms as he grabbed my butt, squeezing it gently. We got lost in the kiss. This was amazing. After we finished, I laid on his body. His breath was on my head, making my hair move a little. "You're too cute," Lucas said, kissing me again, "Isn't this fun?" "Exhilarating," I said. Lucas kissed me again, making the kiss more and more sloppy. Our tongues intertwined and we rubbed against each other. Lucas took off my pants and I did the same to him. I broke the kiss, looking into his eyes. "Can I try something new?" I asked. Lucas rose one of his eyebrows. "What is it?" Lucas asked. "Well... I wanted to make your butt feel better. I know it might be sore," I said, "Can I kiss it?" Lucas nodded, "Sure babe." Lucas took off his underwear, letting his cock and balls flop out. I missed the sight of them. He turned around and I looked at his ass. It was pretty hairless, like mine. It was beautiful. I kissed each cheek, making him groan. I licked them, making them wet and ready. "I wonder what it would be like to top Lucas. How would it feel to be inside this tight jock?" I wondered as I got closer and closer to his hole. He moaned as I squeezed his ass, making him jerk with pleasure. I finally got to the hole, rimming him. He groaned and grabbed onto the sheets. I stuck my tongue into his ass, making it open for me. He jerked forward but I rubbed his back, making him calm. I wiggled my tongue in, exploring the tight hot insides of the jock. "Ohh," Lucas moaned. "Does Jacob want to top me? What would that feel like? It must hurt... well... I have topped him a couple times. Maybe I should let him do this. Especially since I hurt him the last time we had sex. This can be like... payback. Yeah, payback. But... how does that look? The little nerd topping the big jock? That'll ruin my reputation. Also, I kinda like being dominant," Lucas thought, his mind swirling with thoughts. I stuck my tongue farther inside of him, he groaned and moaned. When I pulled my tongue out, I started kissing his hole and making it wet. I got one finger and circled the outside of his hole. Then, I pushed it in a little. He flinched and made me pull out. "Slow down there," Lucas said. "Oh sorry," I said. "No it's fine. I just... I'm not used to that. I'm just used to being top. You know... dominant," Lucas said. "Oh... I understand. I was just wondering what it would be like to put my finger inside," I said, smiling. Lucas couldn't stand my smile. He cracked. "Ok. Fine. Finger me. Just go slow bud," Lucas said, closing his eyes. "Jacob and I have to talk about the payback thing. I want him to do it to me but I don't. It's a little scary," Lucas thought. I pushed his finger into Lucas' ass, wiggling it around and pushing in and out. He groaned in pleasure and pain. "Damn... this isn't even your dick!" Lucas said, moaning. I smiled, pushing it in a little more. I got my other finger from my other hand and pushed it in, spreading apart his hole and licking the inside. He moaned, gripping onto the sheets. I pulled out my fingers and started fingering him again. "This is kinda fun," I thought to myself. I heard the squishing noise coming from Lucas' hole every time I went in and out. After doing this over and over, spreading his hole, I stopped, letting him relax. "Fuuuck," Lucas moaned, relaxing, "That kinda felt good." I smiled, "I've always wondered what it would feel like to be inside of you. Maybe next time it can be the real thing." Lucas smiled at me, "Next time baby." "Alright big boy," I said, kissing him. His dick got hard and I grabbed it. We made out, our dicks touching. He picked me up and pushed me against a wall. My legs were wrapped around his. We made out, completely naked. When he let go of me, I got under the covers of the bed. He joined me, letting me make out with him. We were rolling around the bed, our dicks flopping everywhere. The covers covered the lower half of our bodies. His tongue overpowered mine as we made out, making it even sexier. Suddenly, the door opened. Juliana looked in, suddenly seeing us. We stopped right away and laid on the bed, frozen. She quickly shut the door. We laid there, quiet and stunned. "Shit," I said. We rushed to get our clothes on. "Why do people keep finding us," Lucas said, "We need to watch ourselves better." After we got our shirts on, we opened the door to see Juliana and Anthony standing in the hallway, waiting. Lucas and I walked out, looking at them. Lucas straightened himself up. I coughed a little. Juliana looked at me, a little confused. "Can we talk?" Juliana asked. I walked with Juliana to a corner of the second floor. "Does Ethan know?" Juliana asked. I shook my head. "And can we keep it that way?" "Sure but you know how he's been acting. He might not like it," Juliana said, "How many other people know? Have you guys talked with your parents?" "No. My brothers are the only other people. They found out on accident. Same as you guys," I said. "So no one was actually told by you guys?" Juliana asked. I shook my head again. "Wow. That's bad luck. I just didn't know that you guys were gay and a thing. Wow, that's actually pretty cool. I just want to say that I'm happy for you Jacob," Juliana said. I smiled, "Thanks Juliana. Does Anthony know now?" We looked back at Anthony and Lucas. Anthony was hugging Lucas, rubbing his back. "Yeah. And I guess he's happy for you guys," Juliana said. I smiled, "That's pretty good." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucas' Point of View "Man, this is crazy. I thought you were straight!" Anthony said, "But that's pretty cool. Are you top?" I blushed, "Anthony." "Just wondering," Anthony said, laughing. I smiled and gave Anthony a pat on the shoulder. "Well I guess you guys know now. Just won't tell anyone alright," I said. Anthony nodded and made the "My lips are sealed" motion. I smiled, "Thanks man." Anthony gave me a hug again. It was nice. "So, when did this all happen?" Anthony asked. "Well... it was like a week ago. Something like that. He was tutoring me and things just clicked. We love each other," I said. Anthony laughed, "Well that's nice." "Yeah. We couldn't contain ourselves at the party so we decided to take things upstairs," I said. Anthony smirked, "You guys do it often?" I blushed, "Maybe." Anthony laughed, "Well that's great. I'm supporting you guys and I won't tell anyone. Well, I'm gonna go with Juliana. We've been hanging out for a little bit. She's actually pretty cool," Anthony said, walking past me and slapping my butt, laughing. I laughed with him and we walked down to Jacob and Juliana. "Alright Juliana, I guess the room is now open," Anthony said, laughing. We all laughed with him. "You guys have fun," I said, watching them leave. Jacob met with me. We hugged. "Well... guess that's two more people who know about us," I said. He nodded, "Yeah. It's nice that they approve. Next time, let's just try to hide it better." "Of course," I said, kissing his forehead. We smiled at each other. I loved him. "Wanna get back to the party?" I asked. "Thought you'd never ask," Jacob replied and with that, we headed down the stairs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob's Point of View I walked down the stairs with Lucas. "Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'll be right back," Lucas said. I nodded and he walked off, dodging some partying high schoolers. I turned and ran into Ethan. He turned around and smiled. "Hey Jacob. I was wondering where you went," Ethan said. "Oh. I was just talking with Lucas, Juliana, and Anthony upstairs. It was nothing," I said. Ethan nodded, "Cool. Well... I was just wondering. How do you like the party?" "It's really cool. It's a change from what I usually experience," I said. Ethan nodded, "That's true isn't it. I love these parties. Wanna get something to eat? Haven't really hung out with you this whole time," Ethan said. "Yeah sure. I'm not doing anything," I said. We got stuff to eat. "So, I saw that you were playing spin the bottle," I said. He looked at me and nodded, "Yeah. Damian told me to play." "You got to kiss anyone special?" I asked, smirking. Ethan blushed, "Actually yeah. Some unexpected pairings." "Cool. Maybe I should play next time," I said, lying and trying to keep the conversation going. I would never cheat on Lucas. We got our food and hung around the house. "So, you and Damian have been hanging out a lot. How is he?" I asked. "He's pretty cool and funny. I like having him around. He's chill,"Ethan said. "Cool. Hey, I'm sorry about not hanging out with you that much. Maybe we can see a movie over the weekend or something," I said. "Yeah. That'll be great," Ethan said, "It'll be cool to hang out again!" I smiled. He was cute when he was excited. He truly is my best friend and it makes me happy to see him happy. I think there's something going on with him and Damian. Either way, it's nice. Suddenly, an arm went over both of our shoulders. We looked up. Ethan smiled. It was Damian. "Hey you guys! You guys wanna dance? Lucas is there Jacob," Damian said, "He was looking for you." We both smiled. "Yeah that'll be great," Ethan said. "Yeah. Let's go," I replied. We all walked off to have some fun. Tonight was very very interesting. That's how I interpreted it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well that's chapter 7! Remember, tell me your thoughts at jwinters953@gmail.com. Also, I hope this sets up more potential storylines with the whole Ethan relationship with Jacob and Ethan thinking about his sexuality. He likes girls and he might start liking boys. Is he bi? We'll have to find out! Also, Lucas and Jacob are thinking about switching for experimentation. Let's see how this all plays out! Thanks for reading and expect more chapters soon!
