Diana Urban Young Adult

Young hearts

Julie Thompson just moved into the suburban town to live with her aunt's family and hopes to not have or make any friends at all because she disliked people but maybe liking just one won't hurt. She falls for Uche, her cousin brother's best friend, without even knowing. Follow Julie through her first attempt at love. ... I watched him as he stood there, leaning on the bridge's railing and eating ice cream. The breeze wasn't disturbing his hair today because he had parked it all backwards, he looked cute, I smiled drawing in some breath, satisfied with how today was going. "What?" I heard him ask taking me off my thoughts. "Huh?" "You were smiling." "Oh. I was...." "Can I kiss you?" He asked looking at my lips. "Here?" I asked now, my heart beating hard against my chest, our first kiss could happen now. "Yeah?" He nodded, I could see his Adam's apple go up and down as he swallowed, I bit my lips, nervously. I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips. He was smiling, I hadn't yet told him how much I loved his smile. "You lied." I told him. "About what?" He stopped smiling. "You said you were a bad kisser." He laughed now with his teeth showing, those beautiful set. Read more... #genka3na

Urban Roots: The Farming System

You know how some people get super excited about their job interviews? Yeah, I wasn’t one of those people. Meet me—Kieran Vale, a broke college grad with a degree I’m still paying for (thanks, student loans). One day, I find myself in the middle of a totally normal scenario: unlocking a mysterious "system" that rewards me for growing organic produce in the city. I mean, who wouldn’t want a farming side hustle on top of their 500 tabs of nonsense? So now, instead of desperately sending out résumés (and failing), I’m out here unlocking farming tools, skill trees, and weather predictions like it’s a game. And guess what? Every time I grow a plant, I get some new gadget. It’s like if Minecraft and real life had a baby, and that baby was... well, me. The system’s even got automated irrigation and AI drones. I don’t know how to feel about that. Am I a farmer or just a tech geek with a green thumb? But wait—there’s more! Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, city developers show up wanting to bulldoze everything I’m trying to build. Oh, and did I mention the rival farmers who are way too competitive about their rooftop kale? Yeah, there's that too. Apparently, being an urban farmer means playing a weird game of "who can grow the weirdest vegetables while avoiding getting arrested by city officials." Anyway, I’ve got a decision to make: build a farming empire out of thin air, or let the system’s rewards turn me into some kind of weird urban farming legend. But seriously, author, can we have a moment of honesty? Does anyone actually want to farm this much? Because I’m starting to think the system is less "helpful" and more "let’s see how much Kieran can handle before he breaks." So, yeah, this is my chaotic journey of turning dirt into something worth a whole lot more. Let's see where this farming adventure takes me.
