The Book of Fairytales
Note:
The Book of Fairytales is a book (lmao I know I'm stating the obvious). But this means that while there is sex in the book, it isn't coming just yet. I am letting you know now so you aren't set up for disappointment. These two chapters do not have sex in them, they are to set up the plot of the book. But I encourage you to still read it because there will be a lot of sex... just eventually. I hope you like it. Without further ado, I give you The Book Of Fairytales.
Summary:
The book of Fairytales follows two groups of friends who are forced to come together after getting detention. There are four fairytales, each story is meant to tell a tale that brings them closer together. Theres romance, fantasy, a bit of adventure, sex lmao.
Trigger warnings:
Verbal abuse

Amelia
At times like this I wish I could hit my head against the wall repeatedly. I was late for class and it wasn't even the fact that I was late. It was the fact that I was late for my midterm exam. By the time I had gotten there, it was over and the other students were leaving. "Fuck." I cursed under my breath repeatedly as I brushed past the others to get to the professor.
"Ah Amelia, glad to see you can make it." My professor said as he set the stack of exam papers down on his desk. "At the end of my exam period."
"Professor Dallas, you have to allow me to take this exam." I could feel the desperation in my voice while he looked unamused,
"I already told you and your other class members at the beginning of the semester, no retakes." He said flatly.
"Come on, I need to pass this class in order to graduate with honors." I groaned, he peaked up at me through his black rimmed glasses before taking them off and speaking.
"Alright, if you can provide me with a good excuse as to why you missed my class and a note to back your statement," Dallas paused. "Then I can find some way for you to make up most of your points." He emphasized and I froze. There was no good excuse as to why I missed my exam. In fact, the only reason why I did was because I stayed up late studying and overslept.
"She was helping me," a familiar voice spoke from a distance. I slowly turned to see Jack Walloway standing by the door to the class. He held a stack of papers in his hands as he walked towards us. I could feel my own heart beating out of my chest. "I got into a car accident, some douche bag t-boned me when she pulled up." He said to the professor. "She escorted me to the hospital just in case something happened." The man took the papers away from him then began to read. It gave me a chance to look over Jack. He was tall, around five foot eleven, and looked like he had worked out regularly. His dark brown hair matched his eyes. He had a stubbly beard growing on his face and his lips were pink and plump. Professor Dallas sighed as I heard him set the papers down. It pulled me out of my deep thoughts and looked at him as he stared at me.
"Is this true?" He asked, I looked at Jack who gave me a soft smile of approval.
"Y-yeah, it was." I lied, "I didn't want anything bad to happen to him, so you know." I was smiling nervously. I could tell the professor didn't believe us for one second, but he just sighed.
"Alright, I concede, you both will meet me in the library after school and I will let you know what your assignment is." He said to us, I nodded quickly,
"Thank you Professor," I spoke as Jack left the room. I quickly tried to follow after him since I wanted to know why he helped me. But I entered the hallway when everyone was getting out of class. So instead, I was left standing in the middle of the hallway confused.
"Hey Melia," I heard my friend call out. I turned to face her, Faith Nordan, my friend since Freshman year. She had black hair and green eyes, she was pale, kind of like a vampire from twilight. Her body was thin but healthy and she was a little bit taller than me. Faith was a literature major, her dreams were to become a well-known literary agent. In my opinion, she could achieve her dreams. Whenever there were new releases of books she'd read her favorite category and give a personal review. Nothing malicious, everything from front to back was analyzed and written about in a nice way. Her reviews were respected in the writing community. So, I believe she will soon be able to get the job she longs for. "Ready to head to class?" She asked, I nodded and followed after her. Our next class was literature, we had it with two other friends of mine, Lylah, and Roran.
Lylah Johnson, someone I had known since Freshman year of high school. Most people would call her an overachiever. Straight A's throughout her school years, never missed an assignment, and always took the extra credit. She was valedictorian of our high school and earned a full ride to our University. Her dream was to one day become President of the United States. She is even interning at the local council and has her foot in the door for a full time job after graduation. Lylah was around my height, which was five foot four. She had dark brown skin and hair was done in box braids. Her body was like an hourglass figure. In my opinion, she was the prettiest and smartest one in our group.
Roran Williams had been my best friend since kindergarten. Before her father passed away, Roran would go to any game with him. But track meets were something that clicked for her. Her parents signed her up and she worked hard. As we grew together, Roran pushed herself harder, training to eventually go into the Olympics. She was the shortest one of us. Her hair was curly brown and her eyes were hazel. Her interests had always been about sports since she was a kid. Despite her small frame, she was fit and was the captain for our track team.
As I walked towards them, I noticed Lylah getting annoyed by someone. "For the love god, leave me alone Collin." Lylah whispered at the man, her tone was filled with annoyance. Collin Jackson, a privileged man with blonde hair and brown eyes. He was on the school soccer team along with Jack. Another fact, he was in love with Lylah who had denied his every advance towards her this semester.
"Just one date." He pleaded as he sat in front of her. She glared daggers at him as the professor spoke.
"Quiet, we are about to begin our exam." She began passing them out one by one until the entire class had gotten it. "Alright everyone, begin." She spoke and sat down as we started. The test was fairly easy for me, I had finished within the hour. I could still hear Collin trying to hit on Lylah. "Collin and Lylah, I would like to remind you that we are currently taking a test." Our professor called out. Lylah's eyes widened as she looked at the woman then just huffed out of annoyance. There was a pause before our professor spoke up, "Lylah, meet me after class please." With that, everyone went back to their tests.
After class, we waited a few minutes for Lylah who came out fuming. "That stupid stupid man who can't take no for an answer." She muttered to us.
"What happened?" I asked her,
"She failed our tests since he was consistently bothering me through the exam. The only way we can make it up is through some type of detention in that weird, abandoned library"
"Universities hold detentions?" Faith asked confused.
"I guess so." She muttered annoyed,
"Well, I have to go there after classes as well," I said to Lylah. The others looked at me worriedly, "I missed my Ethics midterm by studying overnight." I explained. They all nodded and let out an "Ah" as they understood.
"Whatever, I'm just hungry." Lylah said bitterly
"Well, we should go to the cafeteria." I shook my head. As we made our way down, I told my friends the encounter I had with Jack. By the time I had finished, we were in line at the cafeteria buffet.
"Wow, he actually covered for you." Roran spoke as we began making our plates. We walked to an open spot in the dining room. "That's really sweet... I saw Magnus today." She smiled halfheartedly. Roran was the only one in our friend group to date in college. The man, Magnus Remides, was her ex-boyfriend, they dated for a few months until her mother caught her with him. After threatening to disown her and many months of arguing with her, Roran broke things off with the guy. But I see them look at each other longingly.
I didn't know much about Magnus, he was the captain of our soccer team. He mostly kept to himself outside of his friend group. He was a little bit taller than Jack, had jet black hair, and he looked Mediterranean with tan skin. I knew he transferred all the way from Greece and had a heavy accent.
"Oh, snap out of it guys." Lylah spoke up, "The only thing we need to be focused on is school, not men." She said,
"I'm already on honor roll, I can dip my toes in romance." I muttered, she looked at me with a scowl as I groaned.
"I agree with Lylah here." Faith spoke up, "I, for one, hate men."
"Not the ones in your fantasy books." Roran countered.
"They don't count, they are fictional for a reason." Faith hissed, I rolled my eyes.
"I am allowed to be attracted to someone okay." I argued back,
"I'm just saying Amelia, Roran literally got in a relationship only for it to end." Lylah reminded us, I shot her a glare as Roran frowned.
"Dude." I hissed,
"She's right, the best focus should be on school. Not on some stupid guy who you end up breaking it off with." Faith hummed mindlessly. I wanted to knock both of them on the head, but quickly saw the guilt on Roran's face as she looked away. I took a deep breath as I turned to the other two.
"I'm not going to let you two shame Roran and I for having a crush on someone. And I am damn sure not going to let a girl who fantasizes in her head about relationships she can't have, and a girl who's ego trumps over her ability to like someone, convince me not to like someone." When I finished, the two girls were left with their mouths agape. While Roran just giggled to herself.
"Rude." They said at the same time while pouting. I shook my head and went back to eating.
When I looked up again, I noticed Jack walking with Magnus and Collin. "God he is so hot." I whispered. I glanced at Roran who's eyes perked up when she saw Magnus. He turned to her for a moment with sadness then looked away. Roran swallowed harshly and looked down at her fingers. I rubbed her back to comfort her.
"I'm fine." She whispered to me softly when the other girls weren't paying attention.
"Ugh and there goes that stupid bastard." Faith said loud enough for the cafeteria to hear if they were paying attention. Her eyes were set on a glare towards none other than Trent Diez. Another member of the soccer team. He was buff, almost six foot four, and had black hair and brown eyes. He was Faith's nemesis as she likes to call it. Few knew why they hated each other, however I knew it happened Freshman year of college. Roran invited me to go see one of the Soccer games and check other guys out. That is where and how I met Faith.
