Kazuo Yamashita- home room teacher in Kengan high, there are lots of fights in his classroom, he tries to break them up dispite being unable to keep up with his students physically. He has a close mentor relationship with Ohma.

Tokita Ohma- he’s a quiet student who can befriend anyone, just chooses not to. He is a bit of a loner, but it’s a choice he makes. During lunchtime he sits with Raian and Retsudo, but he goes table to table to pick up anything uneaten. He’s got really shitty grades. His favorite class is home ec (only because of the food) and Gym

Raian Kure- He’s the school bully. Everyone and anyone gets picked on by him. He doesn’t really have any friends, sometimes Ohma and the other Kure will hang out with him. His grades are also shit. His favorite class is Gym.

Gaoh Ryuki- he’s pretty quiet and doesn’t have too many friends. His best friend is Koga, whom he hangs out with every day. His grades are mediocre, hes not too concerned with them. He is apart of whatever sports team Koga is.

Gaolang Wongsawat- He’s a quite popular student. He’s nice to everyone, makes good grades, is on honor roll, and is on a lot of the sports teams. Though the only other student he’s seen hanging around is Saw Paing. Every year he runs for student body president. His favorite classes are biology and forien language.

Saw Paing- One of the loudest and most enthusiastic students. He always raises his hand, even if he doesn’t know the answer. He is quite the class clown, he likes making other students laugh.

Cosmo Imai- he’s quite popular at Kengan high. He’s got good grades and is apart of a lot of clubs and after school activities. He also runs in for the student government alongside Gaolang. Though the only person he’s seen hanging around is Adam- a delinquent.

Adam Dudly- An American Excange student, he’s only seen around Cosmo. He gets into a lot of fights especially with Raian and Akoya. His grades are just barely passing thanks to Cosmo, his favorite classes at U.S history and Gym.

Falcon- He’s the kid that naruto runs in the hallway. He’s president of the anime club. He gets mad if anyone calls him by his real name, even the teachers call him flacon. He surprisingly has really good grades. His favorite classes are Art and Ceramics.

Okubo Naoya- He is somewhat popular- only because he’s apart of the wrestling, baseball, and football (American) team. He’s friends with Lihito, Himuro, and Kaneda. His grades are just barely above failing. He genuinely tires when he wants to. His favorite class is Gym and world history

Chapter 5

So this is going to be my attempt to summarize part 1 of the beginning part of chapter 5 (episode 1 to 21) of twisted wonderland.

Again, spoiler alert since I’m about to write out everything that happened, and I apologize for my grammar and horrible French in advance.

You heard someone singing -> it was the scenes from snow white when the evil queen asks the mirror on the wall and snow white singing into the well -> player choice: a beautiful women was watching from the window…/ I felt like I’ve meet that beautiful person before… -> you woke up from dream -> in the main street, you meet up with Ace and Deuce -> after seeing the statue you realized you’ve seen them in your dreams before

In classroom -> Ace felt it wasn’t weird to have dreams like that when you see those statues everyday -> you mentioned about in your dream “mickey” appeared in the mirror -> Ace and Deuce never heard of that name before -> Ace suggest to take a photo of it with the “ghost camera” you got from Crowley since it can even take pictures of ghosts

Crewel showed up and explained about “nationwide sorcerer training school culture festival” -> it’s a 2 day event with representative students from all the sorcerer training school, a festival with speeches and debates all about magic related music & art topics -> for NRC, all the 4th year students will be send all across country for internship and research study -> they will all come back on that day to share their experience and result -> end of the homeroom -> fight Crewel for the defense magic class

In the dorm leader meeting -> Malleus is not there again -> Lilia mentions how he couldn’t find Malleus anymore after class so he’s here instead -> Idia questions if Malleus is missing meetings on purpose -> Lilia talked about how fairies feels time different from humans, and how Malleus have some troublesome karma on him as well

The meeting starts -> Riddle started reporting everything about the event -> but the “vocal & dance championship” has surprising amount of media focused on it -> Riddle was surprised since he thought it was just a chorus competition -> because of the time change and consideration for different types of music, now it includes singing, dancing, and performance -> and because of how popular it got, it becomes one chance for students to professionally debut -> and now it’s getting extra notice because the famous influencer Vil and Neige are in it -> Lilia commented how Neige is getting really popular online and on TV -> Idia surprised that people in Diasomnia actually go online -> Lilia “kuhuhu, of course, we are still just students in high school, we watch dramas and play games.” -> Crowley “Vila and Neige, 2 world known famous celebrity are going to appear in VDC, it won’t be an exaggeration to call it the highest degree of attention we are going to get in this event.” -> Crowley ask Riddle to make preparation in case of troubles -> Azul offered to help since he learned all about it from magic shift event -> Leona “hey octopus bastard… do you want your flappy tongue to turn into dried food or what?” -> Azul “oh my how scary” -> Riddle refused Azul’s help since he don’t want Azul ask for something later -> Kalim “just tell us if something is bothering you, we’ll help you anytime.”

-> Kalim “I can’t wait for the day of festival~!” -> Idia “sign~~~… the popular guys just looks so happy everyday. I had to think about the day to announce our research result… if I just step on stage, everyone would be like ‘hey isn’t his hair burning?’ ‘could he be Shroud family’s…’ ‘what kind of dark research is he doing?’ aah I can’t… for person like me to do a speech on stage is just challenge level EX.” -> Riddle mentioned how the rules said student have to go on stage themselves and offer to train Idia for speech after school -> Idia said he’ll manage something himself (whispering) “I really don’t wanna have a farming event with demonic trainer Riddle.” -> end of meeting

In Vil’s room -> Vil “Mira, Mira” -> Mira “what can I help you with?” -> Vil “who is the fairest of them all right now?” -> Mira “the account with the most mention of fair in web currently is… Neige.” -> Vil “Neige…! Finally… this time have arrived.” -> Mira “sorry, I couldn’t quite hear you. Could you please repeat what you said?”

Few days later in cafeteria -> Ace, Deuce, Grim, and you saw the poster for the VDC audition -> the reward for wining the championship is 5 million Madollar to spilt among the members -> Crowley popped up and explained many corporation sponsored this event -> Grim wanted to join for the money so he can buy tuna cans

The song for audition is “piece of my world” -> Ace wanted to try so if he got accepted he don’t need to help set up the places anymore -> Deuce wanted the reward money to help his family -> but he never did singing or dancing before so he didn’t want to join ->

In courtyard you heard someone singing beautifully -> you saw Epel ->Deuce remembered the time he bumped into Epel last chapter -> He asked Epel why is he practice singing here -> it was because Vil told Epel to practice singing to the well so Epel can hear his voice clearly -> Deuce “does Pomefiore have some rules where you have to be good at singing?” -> it was because Epel has to take the audition for VDC and practice for a more lovely voice -> Epel (whisper) “event like that should just disappear…” -> “oh my Epel, are you skipping practice and talking with pigeons now?” -> it was Vil -> Grim “that guy’s leg looks like it’s 1 meter longer than MC’s!” -> Vil “there’s only 2 month left till VDC, Epel have no times play with muddy potatoes like you people.” -> “Epel, you too, if this keep going on you won’t be able to become the ‘red poisoned apple’ let’s go.” -> Epel “…But I actully don’t!” -> Vil “did you forgot the promise with me? Just come here already.” -> Ace and Grim was pretty mad and wanted to fight -> Vil “It’s not bad for a walk after meal. Come at me, I’ll make you into mashed potato.” -> fight time -> you are beat up by Vil -> and he only gives you 5/100 for the fight since you lacked the beauty when fighting -> Epel has to go back with Vil and Vil mentioned how it ends up like this because Epel skipped practice in break

The next day -> Deuce decided to try the audition -> so if they are accepted, Epel might got eliminated and don’t need to practice anymore -> Deuce “as a honor student, I can’t just watch him being forced into the things he don’t like.” -> Ace “I don’t think it’s very honor student of you to call yourself honor student.” -> dance practice time

Kalim and Jamil showed up practice for audition too -> Kalim “honestly you guys are pretty bad at this, you look like a panicked elephant trying to stand on 2 legs! Ahhaha!” -> Deuce “man this really hurts when he’s not even try to be mean.” -> Ace asked Jamil to teach them how to dance -> Kalim “oh sure! Jamil is really good at singing.” -> Jamil “why are you replying for me! … well it is also review for me when I’m teaching someone, fine I’ll do it.” -> teaching time -> Kalim “hey, how about we practice together tomorrow too? Jamil is really good at singing, we’ll show you.” -> Jamil “! You just decided that yourself too…!” -> Kalim “it’ll be fine, besides isn’t it more fun when you have more people for dancing, singing, or partying?” -> Jamil “fine, just don’t expect me to be so kind.” -> Jamil “for now, let’s just clean up, take some mops from the storage room -> Deuce, Ace, Kalim “okay.” -> Jamil “Kalim, you don’t have to do it… sigh.”

Azul showed up -> Grim mentioned how Jamil’s evil plan was streamed worldwide last chapter.” -> Azul “why do you think the merciful me would end my classmate societal life like that?” -> Jamil “…you would.” -> that day Azul was just on phone with Jade -> Azul “different from Leona, I don’t have an interest to beat down someone more than necessary, besides it’s a secret that I’ve finally got, I won’t do anything to make the price fall like that.” -> Jamil “hate to say it, but thanks to Azul’s mercifulness, my parents and Asim family didn’t know the real reason I overblot. But the dorm students…”

Flashback -> Scarabia students questioned why Kalim don’t change the vice dorm leader after what happened

-> Kalim “are you guys worried about me? Thank you! But… he was not the only one wrong this time, I’m also at fault. Besides, is there anyone in Scarabia that have not received help from Jamil?” -> student “that, that is true… if there’s something going wrong we would always just ask him…” -> Kalim “I know right? He is an excellent vice dorm leader. A lot better than me, the dorm leader. His judgements might be clouded back then, but he is still great at his work. He did try to expel me by manipulating you guys but… up till that incident, he has never hurt me even once before. He has many chances to do other much more horrible things to me, but he didn’t. Not once, in 17 years. I won’t call him a good guy but… it’s hard to explain but would you please give us more times?” -> students “…if that’s what you said so…” -> Jamil “…” -> end of flashback -> Jamil “the chance I had for holiday was once in a lifetime, thought my life would be over if I failed, but in the end it didn’t change that much… surely something to be ‘grateful’ for. So unless I’m fired by Kalim, I’ll continue to serve him. And I’ll continue to show everyone how useful I am.” -> Grim “Jamil… your character really changed a lot after the holiday.” -> Azul “if you are fired by Kalim, Octavinelle will always welcome people like you with open arms.” -> Jamil “thank you for the offer, but no matter what happened I would never go to Octavinelle.” -> Kalim “Hey you guys~ if we don’t head out soon we are gonna be late for class!”

3 days later -> everyone is getting better at dancing and singing -> Jamil reminded them to sign up for audition with Rook in class 3-A -> Grim saw Leona and called out to him -> Leona: angry lion noises -> Grim asked where is Rook Hunt -> Leona “why are you trying to find that weird guy.” -> Rook suddenly popped up from behind -> Rook “hahaha, did I surprised you? Pardon. Conceal my footstep sound was a habit I had. I am Rook Hunt. The hunter of love that set his life theme as looking for beauty, helping beauty.” -> Leona “tsk, there it is, that weird guy.” -> Rook asked where is monsieur dandelion -> Leona “no way we are together 24/7, just take those herbivores and go.” -> Deuce questioned who is monsieur dandelion -> it was Ruggie -> the reason why Rook calls him that is because last spring, Rook saw Ruggie picking dandelion in the sports field. Ruggie plans to eat those since his budget is a little tight this month -> so Rook calls him monsieur dandelion out of respect -> Leona “that guy… is he really fine with eating everything that’s not rotten? He didn’t make me eat dandelions too, right…?” -> Rook “non non, it’s not poison, it’s not good to be picky like that lord lion.” -> Ace brought up the audition for VDC, we almost forgot about that because of what happened -> Rook “I apologize, so you guys are, human species Ace Trappola, height 172cm, from class 1-A with student number 25. Human species Deuce Spade, height 173cm, from the same class 1-A with student number 24. And human species MC with demon beast species Grim, height 70cm. right?”

-> Deuce “how did you know our class and student number!?” -> Ace “and even height too!?” -> Rook “huhuhu. As a hunter, I have to at least know the species and heights about the students.” -> there’s no need to write anything to sign up, you only need to show up to the audition 3 days later in Pomefiore’s ballroom -> Rook ask why don’t Leona try for the auditions too -> Leona “who would go to a game event like that, besides, that annoying Vil is also there. I would never go.” -> Rook “the Vil with the beauty of metropolis, and Leona kun with the beauty of wilderness. If both of you dances and sings together it would definitely be beautiful. The competition between different types of beauty, it’s just tres bien!” -> Leona “this guy really doesn’t listen to other people at all…”

3 days later -> in Pomrfiore dorm lounge, you saw around 50 students who’s also trying for audition -> Cater was also one of it -> since he wanted to go to the event with the famous celebrity Vil -> Ace “isn’t that reason a little too light hearted?” -> Cater “really? I thought everyone is like that, I mean look.”

-> pointed at Ruggie who’s clearly here for money -> Lilia popped up again -> you recognized him as the person who handed you the holiday card -> Grim “he wasn’t the sender?” -> Lilia “the initials are different from mine right?” -> Lilia is here since he’s in light music club and it just makes sense for him to try -> he tried to invite Malleus too but he said he don’t want it to become the exhibition of some kind so he refused -> Lilia “that guy is kind of shy” -> Cater “I feels like that’s a little bit different from shy…” -> Lilia asked why didn’t Cater brought Trey along -> Cater tried but Trey has to help Riddle with all the works

they saw Ortho by himself for audition too and was surprised -> Ace commented on how Ortho looks like an elementary school student -> Cater said Ortho is accepted into this school with Idia, and they always take classes together -> Grim “how much of a brothercon is Idia…” ->Ortho “don’t talk bad on my brother!” -> Ortho explained how everything was approved by the principals, and is not like Idia brought him just because he’s lonely by himself -> Cater “sorry sorry, we kinda got to excited while talking about it since the Shroud brother is like the 7 mysteries of this school.” -> Ortho “I want to apologize for getting too upset as well, I just don’t want you to misunderstand my brother…” -> Cater asked if Ortho is also here for audition -> flashback -> basically Idia made a software with his voice to read out everything he typed -> for the speech since he just can’t talk in front of everyone -> but Idia also got pretty interested in the sound editing world -> Idia “since virtual idol is getting popular, should I put vocal synthesizer in Ortho too?” -> Ortho “sounds fun! I wanted to sing too.” ->Idia “alright~ let big brother handle everything.” -> so to test how far the vocal synthesizer can go, Ortho is here to take the audition -> Ace was surprised that they can just make singing sounds from programs -> Cater said those got quite popular and he likes it too, and wanted to show Grim a video of it -> there was an ad

Neige is promoting in the ad -> Cater mentioned how popular he is getting -> Vil, Rook, and Epel kicked in with sparkling effects -> Vil started introducing himself and explains how he will be the producer for the members appears in VDC

Auditions starts -> Ruggie sung and danced

-> Rook “monsieur dandelion. Such a light step and bright smile. With manliness and loveliness combined perfectly. Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “his way of moving isn’t bad, but his dancing and singing is still messy… next!”

Cater -> Rook “monsieur magcam. Your voice sounds just like the elegant sparkling diamond! I wanted to listen to it forever. Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “singing and dancing wasn’t bad, but I can’t feel any passions… next!”

Lilia -> Rook “monsieur curiosity. Such a lovely form and singing voice with an alluring aura… Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “I don’t know why… but I can’t feel any freshness of a high school student from Lilia. Next!”

Ortho -> Rook “monsieur doll. What a brand-new style…! Your robot dance and singing voice, will be sculpted into my eyes. Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “no matter how genre-less this event is, there’s a limit… next!”

Kalim -> Rook “lord gold! Your dance were just like the breeze that blow through the hot sand! And the singing that make me felt like flying. Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “hmm, it’s a little bit better than the vegetables that’s just rolling around.”

Jamil -> Rook “monsieur mulch. As expected… I can feel your buring soul underneath your cool mask! Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “not bad, he’s the most normal one out of all of them.”

Epel -> Rook “monsieur crabapple. So lovely! Beaute! 100 points!” -> Vil “that kid, misstep again, no matter how good was his rehearse, it would be meaningless if he can’t do good in the real deal. Also, Rook. aren’t you giving out nothing but 100 points? Are you judging seriously?” -> Rook “of course, but it’s so hard to pick a first when everyone are so wonderful. There’s beauty in the neatness, and there’s also beauty in the twisted. Don’t you think so?” -> last group -> Ace, Deuce, and Grim -> Rook “…I see I see.” -> end of the audition -> result will come out tomorrow -> Rook recommend the trio to Vil

Next day, Ace, Deuce, Grim just got off from class -> suddenly an arrow flies across barely missed Deuce’s nose -> Ace realized there’s a piece of paper on the arrow -> Deuce “what!? Is it a challenge to fight!?” -> Ace “stop connect everything to a fight, let me see…” -> both Ace and Deuce are accepted -> you are also asked to go with those two

You all headed towards Pomefiore -> you saw both Kalim and Jamil -> they are accepted as well -> but after going in Pomefiore, students keep showing up asking for fight -> finally you arrived to the ballroom

-> Vil showed up with sparkling effects again -> apparently the students are fighting with you because you are accepted members, it was a warm up Vil prepared for all of you so he can start the lesson right away -> Vil “listen up, start from now on we would be the representation for NRC, and aim for the first place in the VDC. The members that can’t even win a fight like that is not needed. The battle has already started and all of you should be prepared to be whipped to shape!” -> Kalim “I don’t really understand but okay!” -> Grim asks why are him and you here when you are not accepted -> Crowley showed up and explained, in order to practice for the team work, all of the members will live together in Ramshakle dorm -> Grim wanted to refuse -> but Vil and Rook said they will give you all of their reward money since their goal in this event is not money -> which is around 1.42 million -> you decided to accept the deal after all ->Vil “now let’s start the lesson!” -> Ace “I thought the lesson starts when we starts living together?” -> Vil “don’t get a big head, new potato number 1. You are still an amateur at singing and dancing, we can’t waste a single minute.” -> practice time.

End of this update.

Oh man it tooks me a whole entire day to do this… and to think this is just like part a of part1. The chapters are getting so much longer…

I Honestly felt like I missed up half of Rook’s nicknames since I don’t know French at all, basically got everything from google so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Also, Rook’s nickname for Epel is kinda weird, he call Epel hime ringo which directly translate to princess apple, but it is also a type of apple. In English it’s called crabapple, which kind of feels different then the Japanese text.

Can I just say I love the fact that we can fight Crewel now? And I just love how he call us zasshu while fighting, it probably referenced to like mixed blood dogs and all but it only reminds me of Gilgamesh lol.

Ahhh I really want Crewel to slap me.

I'm not a fan of this arc but actully like Deku as a prota alot, at last more than other shounen ones. But I always felt he shined best in workign with others. His solo fights always been 'meh' to me. With the exptation of the Overhaul fight, but that I actully still count as a group fight (despite not liking nighteye or mirio). Like, in general, Deku IS a great prota, he is smart and actually thinks (most protas until mha used to be dump as bricks) and he actually works well with other people. It's just the story started pushing him more and more away from others. The only real thing I dislike about him, is how he views AllMight. I think this why Ii do not like this arc a lot. Its solo who always been his weakest points in the story - as well including All Might, who I genuinely think - is a terrible mentor (even Endavor was better than him). Like, yes great emotional support but omg, I can't stand him as a mentor anymore since the whole overhaul/festival arc. (not telling Deku everything as well s telling him support items are 'useless' completely undermining heroes who need them) I'm still waiting and hoping for a fall out somehow.

I think there is a chance that it will go somewhere - at least in the new chapter it looks like All Might for once voices out that he did this to Deku and put this fucked-up burden on a child. And that's on him.

For me, Deku's base qualities are not the problem, but the lack of character arc is. He's just too perfect to take anywhere interesting.

His only flaws are "too selfless" (that's a Mary Sue type of fake flaw) and maybe that he's too blindly believing in All Might.

God, I miss Bakugou so much who never fails to call a spade a fucking spade and say all the inconvenient truths those two just tiptoe over.

Even then, I'm sure the narrative will absolve All Might - so far it has done everything it could to do just that.

understanding ricky’s feelings from episode 9

the essence of ricky and gina is now to be really analyzed with episode 9. see, i think where ricky says that he’s confused has to do with that brief time where he was finally learning to stop being obsessed with getting back together with nini, and befriend gina.

like ej, there’s now actully someone for ricky to help him get over his ex. nini wanted to be with ej, but he was a clear rebound. although of course ricky doesn’t straight-up treat gina this way, because she is clearly still someone important to him, his feelings for nini started to shift towards gina previously (like nini’s for ej from ricky). so her leaving plus his family drama was complicated for him, because it felt like another moment in time that he found himself unsure of (example: when he couldn’t say i love you back to nini). his focus was no longer fixtated on nini, but now he had gina and that’s where he believed his feelings were heading- which i believe is why big red thought ricky wrote the song for gina.

ricky is not in love with gina, as is nini with ej. nini thought ej was perfect for her, which is what ricky probably assumed to explore for himself as his viewpoint of gina. ricky wanted to take a pause, ultimately breaking nini’s heart. ej was someone who could replace the loss of ricky for her. then, ricky needed someone to understand his complications. gina was another individual that understood and could help him out. ej and gina are individuals who nini and ricky believe could fulfill that missing piece in their lives— but who they both truly need are each other. and because of complications, it was hard for them to realize that of each other again.

so when gina leaves, his heart breaks like when nini told him she met someone new, or finding out his parents seperating, or even discovering his mom’s new boyfriend. it hurts him. and since his feelings shifted momentarily from the lack of nini, (but also because he’s still a caring person and values friendship) he’s distracted by the fact that she’s gone and she’s hurt and he wants to help in anyway that he can.

but then, with ej out of the picture, and gina no longer a physical variable in the equation, ricky and nini are forced to see each other face-to-face and (un)surprisingly, it feels right to each other. ej is not completely fitting, and neither is gina. there was always something (or someone) missing in both ricky’s and nini’s lives lives despite having ej and gina around. they just didn’t completely realize it before.

too much left unsaid between ricky and nini but as they got to let a few things out and be alone together, previous feelings started to resurface. the feelings that were meant for ej, and for gina, began to return to its actual source. they start reminiscing all those memorable moments they shared or the point in time where their orgin came from, and it helped them realize that maybe, just maybe, they’re still meant to be together.

but because neither of them will fully acknowledge it, and as they are not focusing on each other, they are both still unsure of their feelings for one another.

so when gina comes back, ricky is even more confused. she was supposed to be that missing piece, and he’s not sure if she is anymore because his feelings for nini have shown themselves again.

which is why when ricky says “i’m not who i was a week ago,” he’s referring to when he thought his feelings were changed for gina.

but when he adds to the sentence with, “or maybe i’m just back to who i always was,” this is a reference to his feelings for nini. he is slowly starting to see that his feelings never really left, he just thought it would be better for himself if they were for someone else.

ricky finishes off saying “i don’t know. something’s different,” he’s talking about how there’s a part of him that believes perhaps he and nini are gonna get the chance to start over. they almost kissed, which was initiated by nini, which is why things are different. despite her words in the past, ricky had some disbelief. but he is fully aware now that what she said is true. that he can always talk to her about anything, anytime. she’s still there for him, she always has been, but he was afraid. because he lost her already, and thought he found someone new. so when someone new comes back, he was already learning that he never lost nini, which pushed his confusion. he thought it was gonna be gina as someone new to help him out with was he lost. but nini is the one who was actually never lost to him, he just wanted to try to put someone else in her place as she did to him.

so when ricky’s about to have a breakdown, it’s not gina he goes to. he knows she’s back, and knows she understands him on a personal level, but as his heart breaks again upon seeing his mom’s new boyfriend, he wants to see nini. he’s not okay. in this moment, we take hold a full understanding of where his feelings lie. in the moment where he cannot think straight and his world starts turning upside down again, he yearns for nini. he searches for her.

then we learn how much he loves her.

he’s struggling, having a hard time, and he needs her help. he wants her. he needs her. she’s the missing piece that was never lost.

but when he finds out that he could jeopardize nini’s chance at the performing arts school, his full attention cuts to her. he’s ignoring his problems and wants to make sure she’s got her best chance.

and sadly, he has no faith in himself. he doesn’t believe her best chance is him. he thinks since ej’s got the experience and knows what he’s doing compared to ricky who initially only joined in spite of her, he gives his part away believing that it will help nini.

he did not want to ruin things for her.

she’s the one person he can talk to about anything, anytime. and anytime meant anytime. he could’ve talked to her. in fact, he might do so in the season finale. but in the time being, he held himself back and put her first.

this helps us understand that ricky still loves her. his feelings are for her. he remains in love. his confusion comes from his prior belief of gina being the missing piece, but it’s still nini. he thought gina would be someone new in his life. someone that can help changes things for the better, but she doesn’t fit completely. she’s not the missing puzzle piece for ricky, nini is. it will always be nini.

Can't get in trouble if you don't get caught.

Over view

This is a small fanfiction I'm creating about lilith and Eda's past for fun.

Not sure if I'll continue or not but figured it would be cool to try my hand at writing.

Update: this is an old fanfic I forgot to post and before we got the confirmation lilith was older then Eda, keep that in mind

----------------------------------------------------------

"Edalyn why can't you be more like your sister?" The condesending voice of her parents desended down on the young witch. The bushy red head glared at her feet she could feel scalding pinpricks of heat building up behind her eyes. Eda bite into her lip, hard. She knew if she cried her parents would just take it as another opportunity to lecture her about how womanly emotions will only hold her back and how real witches don't let there emotions rule them. "Your disgracing the faimly name with your reckless behaviour. We expect better from you in the futur." Her parents finished thier lecture with twin disapproving glares and curled lips. Eda could feel her stomach curl and squirm with shame and guilt. Eda kept her head hung low letting her bushy mane cover her eyes. "I was only having a bit of fun..." came the meak reply of the young witchling. Her parents turned there backs to her stiffly. "Go to your room Edalyn were locking you in there door till you appologize ." They hissed through clenched teeth. Eda wanted to argue to yell and scream till thet listened but all she could do was swallow to soothe the lump that had been forming in her throat. her feet felt like two lead bricks as she shuffled out of the kitchen. As soon as Eda was out of earshot though she bounded up the stairs hot tears runing down her face. On the way to her room she bumped into her sister knocking the books out of lilith's hand and practically toppling her over. "Hey, Eda watch -" lilith exclaimed but the sentence died in her throat though as soon as she saw her sisters puffy red eyes and pained expression. "E-eda...?" The little sister was lost for words. Sure lilith had seen Eda upset before but never like this. Eda ignored her sister and continued running up the stairs to her room were she slamed her door closed with such ferocity the hall way shook and bits of plaster broke of the walls.

Eda fell into her bed balling her hands into fists to keep from screaming. "Maby if they actully spent time with me and Lily I'd stop pulling pranks" the young witch thought to her self. It was a well established fact that thier parents rarely spent time with them outside of disciplining them and making sure liliy and her stayed ontop of thier school work. It just wasn't fair of them to demand she stop something she loved doing, when they were never around in the first place. Her body shook ever so slightly as she held back a sob. "They like liliy better. It's always lily this and liliy that and look what liliy did be more like liliy" Eda's thoughts spat hatefully. Eda sighed "it's not her fault she's perfect." After a few minutes of quiet Eda sat up leaning her back against the cold bedroom wall. She thought she had gotten her emotions under control and that the worst was over but as we all know the worst thoughts, the most deadly ones come when everything is still. "Maby if I'd been a better daughter Mom and Dad would spend time with us .... maby then I wouldn't have been cursed." Eda paused and let the thought sink in. "Theyll never love you Eda. Why even try and be better. This is all your fault". The voice inside her head told her. "You deserve this." Eda sniffiled, her bottom lip quivering. "Not true, not true" she argued "Moms and Dads should love thier kids unconditionally and I hav'nt done anything wrong.... nobody gets hurt by my pranks." "Exept you, of course." The voice said mockingly. Before Eda could argue further she was interrupted by the creak of her door as it cracked open. Lilith stuck her head around it nervously "hey... " liliy said as she inspected Eda's floor "You, ok?" She finished her sentence looking Eda in the eyes for reassurance she could come in. Eda nodded and wiped her nose with the back of her hand. "Ya... It's nothing just our parents being dumb...." Eda said notchalontly, waving her hand to emphasize how little she cared. Lilith sat down beside Eda and grabbed her hands gently in her own. Eda couldnt help but noticed how small they were. They were so much smaller then her own hands but filled with a warmth and gentleness that made Eda feel safe, like she could just be herself. "You wanna talk about it?" Lily asked squeezing Edas hand. "...no" Eda admitted honestly but as soon as she saw lilith face fill with concern she continued "but I could tell you about my latest prank! It was hilarious, you should've seen old bumps face...". Lilith smiled, she was just glad her sister wasn't so sad anymore and was acting normal again.

Love Letters (Arthur x Reader)

Prompt: You find Arthur’s journal and start exchanging notes with him. Fluff ensues. Word Count: 2,929

— You push open the door of your Gotham city apartment building, before trudging over to the mailboxes.

“Bills, bills, bills,” you sigh, shoving the unopened letters into your bag. You turn to make your way to the elevator, but something catches your eye. A worn notebook lays on the floor at your feet, words scrawled across every inch of it. Your curiosity gets the better of you, and you can’t help but reach down and grab it.

You let your fingers run over the pages, as your eyes land on what looks to be the last thing written. You almost set the journal back down, not wanting to intrude on the stranger’s personal thoughts. But something about the messy handwriting draws you in.

I just want peeple to see me. I think I would be happyer if I had someone who cared.

Your heart felt heavy for the stranger; there was no way you could pretend that you never saw this. Your hand immediately shuffled around inside your bag, pulling out a pen and getting to work on your note back.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Everyone deserves to be seen. I’m sure you have someone who cares about you, and if not, I’ll be that person.

You read over your words, nodding in approval. You drop the notebook next to the mailboxes, hoping that the man or woman who left it behind will come back for it. As you made your way to the elevator, you couldn’t help the light feeling that washed over you. For once, you felt like you actually did something worthwhile in Gotham.

—

The next day, you were practically buzzing with excitement as you rushed home from work. All you could think about was the journal you found. Had the person read your note? Did they write something back? Did they even notice that the journal was gone? So many questions were swirling through your head, but you didn’t have to dwell on them much longer.

Sitting in almost the exact same place as you left it in, the journal was open to a new page, and another messy note was scrawled across the lines.

I only have my mother. You must not have many peeple to. Why else would you be writing back to a man in a jurnal journal.

Despite yourself, you laughed at the bluntness of the stranger, who you now know is male. A few other residents of the building gave you a look as you chuckled to yourself. With your pen already in hand, you moved to draw a small smiley face on the paper.

:) It’s funny of you to say that. Very bold. It’s nice that you still have your mom. Do you see her often? P.S. My name is Y/N, what’s yours? If you don’t mind me asking, that is.

Oddly enough, you were looking forward to getting up the next morning to see if your mystery guy would write back. At first, you were sure he would, but the more you thought about it, the more you started second-guessing.

Was asking about his mother too forward? What about asking for his name? After all, this man didn’t know you whatsoever. He has no obligation to tell you anything about his life; however, he did say he was lonely in some regard. You’re just trying to be friendly, you told yourself. If he didn’t want to answer, he didn’t have to. You wouldn’t be disappointed.

—

You were right to tell yourself that you wouldn’t be disappointed. When you took a detour over the mailboxes that morning, you instantly saw a new reply sitting beneath yours from the previous day.

You think I’m funny? I do stand up comedy sometimes. I actully live with my mother here. I take good care of her. Ps I like your name. My name is Arthur. Arthur Fleck.

Your fingers traced over the man’s name.

“Arthur,” you said out loud to yourself. You liked the way his name sounded, and as strange as it seemed, you felt like his name matched his cute, scribbly handwriting.

I like your name too. Also, you’re a comedian? Now you have to tell me a joke!

You looked over the words, wondering if you should write anything else. He didn’t ask you any questions, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t tell him anything.

I think it’s great that you take care of your mom, not many people would do that.

You considered adding “you seem like a really nice guy” to the end of your note but decided against it. You’ve already been inquisitive; it’s probably best to hold back a little.

A reply was waiting for you the next morning when you checked back in. While reading it, you couldn’t help but laugh at Arthur’s response.

Why dont canibals cannibals eat clowns? Becus they taste funny.

There was a line of space between the joke he scribbled down and the rest of his note. You glanced down, hanging on to every word that was written on the page. You wondered if he felt the same way while reading what you left him.

Most peeple find it strange that I live with my mother. You said it was great. Thank you for being nice to me Y/N.

Your heart picked up at the use of your name. At the risk of sounding cliché, you can’t remember a time when the mere doodle of your name has caused such a surge of warmth to fill your body.

You felt kind of absurd for feeling like this. You haven’t even met the man. He could be any person in the building, and yet, you still felt drawn to Arthur like he was someone you’ve known forever.

You hastily wrote back to him, deciding to take a bit of a chance with your next move.

No need to thank me, Arthur. I truly think it’s admirable. Oh, and that was a hilarious joke. I’d love to hear it in person sometime.

You knew that was a bold thing to say to him. It has only been four days since you found the man’s notebook, and you’ve already given him a reason to meet with you. You’re absolutely positive you have a high chance of being the next star of a late-night murder mystery documentary. Still, at this point, you couldn’t bring yourself to care.

Pushing the thoughts of Arthur out of your mind, you left for work, hoping to go one day without thinking of your new pen-pal.

—

When you arrived home from work, you were nearly falling over in exhaustion. You just wanted to get back to your apartment and crash in front of the TV. As always, though, you stopped by to read any new messages that Arthur had left. You were surprised to see a rather long entry this time compared to his usual two or three sentences.

I dont understand why you want to talk to me Y/N. You know you are not forced to anser me. I know that you probly dont actully want to meet with me. Thats ok. I enjoy getting your mesages and I want to keep talking. I feel like I have somebody with you around. But I understand if you want to stop. You dont have to lie to me and tell me you want to meet. I will be fine.

For the first time, Arthur’s note didn’t make you smile. Instead, you read through it with a dull ache in your chest. You wished there was some way to prove to him how much you looked forward to this encounter every day. Honestly, it was the only thing you looked forward to these days.

Arthur,

You doodled a little heart next to his name before scratching it out, too nervous about leaving it there.

I have never lied to you, and I never will. I would like to meet sometime, but only when you’re comfortable with that. Until then, we can talk here. I enjoy getting your messages too; they actually make me really happy. I feel like I have a friend in you. P.S. What’s your favorite color?

The notes between you both went on for another two weeks. Even though your communication was often brief and to the point, you still found yourself craving the disordered, misspelled words from Arthur. Nearly three weeks of knowing him, and you were convinced he was the kindest, funniest, and most selfless man in Gotham. With every new letter in the journal, you felt your control slip away, leaving behind a feeling that you haven’t experienced quite like this.

You liked him. It has only been three weeks, and you liked him.

You tried to reason to yourself that it wasn’t totally crazy to have a crush on Arthur. It’s normal to develop a crush on someone in such a short period; that’s how crushes work. You knew, however, that it wasn��t normal to crush on someone you’ve never even really met. Arthur was nothing but some words on a page right now, but you still couldn’t shake the thought that you knew him.

With each day that passed, you learned something new about him. From his favorite foods to his job at HaHa’s, you found yourself holding on to each fact as if your life depended on it. You briefly wondered if you should take a stop by HaHa’s on your way home from work, but ultimately decided against it. You wanted Arthur to be ready to meet you; you didn’t want to force him to.

After a particularly hard day at work, you sat by the mailboxes, writing furiously about your day.

I hate my job. I hate this apartment. I hate Gotham. The only thing I look forward to is writing with you, but I don’t even know you. Isn’t that pathetic?

You carried on for a whole page and a half about the shitty day you’ve had. You considered tearing it out so Arthur wouldn’t feel required to comfort you, but something kept you from doing so. Arthur has been somewhat open with you; it’s about time you do the same for him.

The next day, you halted to a stop by the mailboxes, seeing the journal laying in its usual location. But next to it, a single blue flower. You slowly made your way over, trying not to get your hopes up.

Y/N Im sorry you are feeling like this. Things in Gotham can be awful sometimes. I have felt like that my hole life. Im starting to feel diferently now that I have you. I hope you feel the same way. I got you this blue flower to cheer you up. Blue means comfort.

You felt your ears burn red, as you picked up Arthur’s gift. You knew how much courage it must have took him to leave something like that for you. The man has told you enough about him for you to picture his bouncing leg and racing heart as he sat the flower down next to his new entry.

This means more than you know, Arthur.

This time, you did leave a little doodle heart next to his name. You knew he would only find it endearing now.

I am incredibly lucky to have found you. You make living in Gotham worthwhile.

You took the flower up to your apartment, knowing that you were going to do whatever you could to keep it alive and well.

If you weren’t sure before, you were now. You really, really liked Arthur. And you kind of, sort of, hoped he liked you too.

—

The next night, you were off early from work. So, after grabbing something quick to eat, you walked back to your apartment in hopes of seeing a new message from Arthur.

When you got inside, you stopped in your tracks. A man with curly, brown locks towered over the journal. Your heart started thumping loudly in your chest as you took in, who you presumed to be, your month-long writing buddy.

“Arthur,” you said quietly, trying not to startle him. He still jumped slightly, almost toppling over from lack of balance. He gave you a confused look, seemingly trying to figure out if he knew you. “It’s Y/N.”

Suddenly, his eyes went wide, and he hurriedly concealed the journal behind his back.

“B-but, I only talk to you in my notebook. W-why are you here? You’ve never been here before,” he said, moving his hands from his chest to his waistline, a gesture you guessed was made to ground himself.

“I know. I’m sorry. I just, I got off work early. I didn’t know you would be here, I swear,” you told him. “If you want me to leave, I understand. I’ll just look at what you wrote later.”

“No.”

“No?”

He finally looked at you—all of you. His eyes roamed from your shoes, all the way to your face before his gaze rested on yours.

“You- you can’t read it. You can’t,” he mumbled.

“But… I’ve been reading everything in there,” you paused before quickly continuing. “Everything you’ve written to me. I haven’t read anything before that! I would never.”

He nods, staying silent.

“Were you going to stop talking to me?” you asked, a little hurt at the insinuation.

“No! I- I could never.”

“Then, why can’t I read what you wrote?”

He looks down at the floor, picking at a part of his sweatpants. “It’s embarrassing.”

“You know I’d never judge you, Arthur, but you don’t have to show me if you don’t want. I can leave, and we can continue writing like this never happened.”

“Okay,” he agrees, and you’re glad to see him meet your eyes once again. He drops the notebook onto the floor, and gives you a wave before taking off towards the elevator. You wait until he’s inside before reaching down and grabbing the book.

His writing, as usual, brings a small smile to your face. It makes your heart flutter that you have a face to put with the name and the messy scribbles.

I checked every word twice in order to get this right. I wanted to make sure I spelled and said everything perfictly perfectly. I know we have known each other for a little bit but youre always on my mind. Just like you said… you make living in Gotham worthwhile. I have a queston question for you. I hope you still want to write after this. Will you go on a date with me to Pogos? It’s a comedy club. It’s okay to say no.

You bit your lip, nearly drawing blood. The smile threatening to take over your face grew the more times you read over the note. You couldn’t believe the man you just talked to wanted to go out with you. And poor Arthur, who was too embarrassed to tell you that, looked like he wanted to shrivel up.

You scrawled down a giant “yes” under Arthur’s last writing before aimlessly drawing a few hearts around the word. After running upstairs to grab a few things, you came back down to the mailboxes and threw a blanket down on the floor. You were confident that people were going to think you’re crazy, but you weren’t concerned about their opinions. You parked yourself on the blanket and decided to camp out until the next morning when Arthur would, no doubt, be returning.

When the sun did arise, so did your writing partner. You heard the elevator doors screech open, and before you could look, Arthur was standing in front of you gawking.

“Did- did you get evicted?”

You laughed slightly and shook your head. “I was waiting for you.”

“You were waiting for me,” he repeated, looking puzzled and a little nervous.

“Yes. I wanted to be here when you read my response,” you told him. Your heart raced as he carefully took the journal from your hands and looked at it. His brows furrowed, and he looked back at you in astonishment.

“Are you sure? I think you made a mistake,” he dropped the journal and put his hands firmly back onto his chest. “This is not real.”

Your heart sank a little as you took in the distressed man in front of you. “This is real, Arthur. I didn’t make a mistake. I like you.”

“No- no,” his hands went to his head, so you reached out cautiously and took them into yours.

“I like you,” you repeated. “I would love to go on a date with you.”

That seemed to break him out of his episode, and he looked down at your intertwined hands before he broke out into a smile.

“Really? Okay. I’ll write to you and tell you what time to meet me.”

You giggled, debating whether or not to tell him that you didn’t need to write any more now that you knew each other. However, you let him go with a smile on your face and kept your mouth shut. If he wanted to write to you, you’d gladly let him. You were looking forward to seeing what time your scribbly, disordered, writing partner would come up with in your journal.

Your journal, you thought to yourself. You and Arthur’s journal.

You liked the thought of that. Arthur will just have to get used to it.

Turns out, Arthur didn’t have to get used to it. He already was.

Serious FIshy Business

Patton x Janus

Tw: Fish, Water, Blood, Arguing,

Patton needed fresh air, he couldn’t stand the others yelling at each other, not that he didn’t care for them, he just needed a breather. Patton's first challenge was sneaking out of this conversation and the second was finding a place to go. Patton thought the beach would be nice. Nobody would be there due to the drop in weather and maybe he could stop at the store and get apple cider. Patton had tuned out of the conversation and only tuned back in when he heard it go quiet. Patton could feel the weight of the conversation.

“Patton, Can you please back me up here?” Roman said, throwing out his hands. Patton was going to say something but Virgil interrupted him to argue with Roman. Patton sighed before he walked over to the kitchen to get a glass of water and maybe a cookie. Patton watched the others from the kitchen as they hadn’t even noticed he was in the kitchen. He realized leaving was going to be so much easier than originally thought. Patton patted the sides of his pants finding his wallet but not his phone. He determined this to be good and made the choice to open the front door. Patton slowly and quietly shut the door as he did so he watched the others through the cracks. He smiled in triumph as he was outside and the others had not noticed the door open. Patton gave one last thought about how the door was probably too quiet for its own good and he made his way to the beach.

After a short walk and putting on his Cat sweater he was at the beach, Patton took note of the clouds above the lake and the lack of people on the beach, In fact, there was a single man on the beach sitting on the dock with his shirt off. Patton walked to the edge of the beach subconsciously stood closer to the dock maybe it was due to the person or maybe he liked standing above the lake. Patton crouched down with his knees pressed against his chest as he played in the surrounding sand. He started unknowingly humming a tune that he had most likely picked up from Roman.

“What song is that?” Patton jumped as the man on the dock spoke.

“I-i I don’t remember” Patton let out a nervously chuckled and played with the ends of his sleeves

“I enjoy it do tell me if you find out” Patton took note of how the man only looked forward at the lake, He also took note of how the dock man looked lonely and sad as if he missed something or someone. Patton gave it a quick thought and thought maybe the man missed the lake and that was why he was here but Patton would not be sure unless he asked.

“I'm Patton” Patton spoke as he focused on the shells and sand.

“Nice to meet you, Patton.” The man on the dock took a deep and sharp breath in. “People call me Deceit.”

“But what do you call yourself?” Patton joked as he stood up.

“Janus” Patton was taken aback a bit that this man who he never talked to before this day had possibly given him personal information. Patton got a better look at the man seeing half of his body was covered in some sort of scales. Patton was even more confused and shocked now.

“Janus can I ask what you’re doing at the beach”

“I like the view” Janus was picking up that Patton had seen his scales.

“Me too, I also like the sounds it beets hearing people argue” Patton laughed.

“I wouldn’t know what that sounds like” Patton couldn’t decide if Janus not hearing people argue was lucky or sad so he just stayed silent. He looked over at Janus watching as he never looked back. “How long are you going to stare you know taking a picture would last longer.” Patton’s face heated up in embarrassment but he also took note of how memorizing Janus’s voice was. Janus chuckled and Patton felt like he could faint at how nice it was to hear someone laugh. “Patton” Patton was, even more, paying attention now. “Why don't you let me see your face?” Janus patted the spot on the dock next to him. Patton didn’t ask questions he just quickly moved to the dock. He stood at the edge of the dock noticing the red dripping off of it. Patton quickly made it to Janus standing were he patted.

“Are you bleeding?” Patton now noticed that Janus didn’t have legs but instead there was a tail a mermaid tail like something out of a children’s book. The blood was coming out of Janus fin from what looked like just a big cut. Patton took note that Janus could have healed this himself but he did not for lack of energy or simply not wanting to.

“Possibly”

“We need to get you fixed!” Patton moved to the side with the fin.

“Don’t think of bringing me to a hospital”

“Can I use human first aid or do I need some Fish first aid?” Patton took off his sweater planning to wrap it around Janus’s fin and to think about the repercussions later.

“You can use Human but know I will not do what you tell me to” Patton was thinking how to get Janus back to his house without anyone noticing. He wrapped his sweater around Janus fin making sure Janus was comfortable. Janus watched Patton as Patton tried his hardest to help him.

“Hold on” Patton moved over a bit as he put an arm behind his back as he did this Janus cringed at the fabric. “I'm sorry” Patton put another arm under Janus’s fin and with a grunt Patton lifted Janus up.

“What are you doing?” Janus clung to Patton for dear life. Janus thought if this man was going to throw him back into the lake he was not going alone.

“I'm going to help you” Patton turned around and started planning the route home.

Patton chose to go through the forest knowing that it leed into their back yard.

“Can you explain to me where we’re going?” Janus asked taking in a deep breath in.

“To my house” Patton made his way to the trees keeping his eye out for any other person.

It took Patton almost a hour to get back home as he constantly checked on Janus and Janus made him take breaks.

“I told you the bleeding stopped a bit ago” Janus was sat on a log stomp with Patton laying in front of him looking up at him.

“I’m just making sure” Patton smiled.

“How do you plane on getitng me in?”

“I think i'm going to peek in first bring you a blanket and than get you in” Patton sat up and looked at his house.

“I still don’t know why you chose to do this.” Janus asked putting emphasis on chose.

“Cause i care” Patotn got up and told Janus to wait there as he entered teh house through the back door. The bottom floor was empty and patton could see the mess of crumpled up papers from the fight earlier. He made his way up stairs seeing that nobody was in the halls nobody had even checked to see if someone had just entered the bottom floor. Patton entered his room and quickly and quietly as he could, he grabed his phone and a blacket and made his way back outside leaving his door open to make it easyier for when he brought Janus in,. Patton was back over with Janus and handed him his blanket. Janus took the blanket inspecting the patteren seeing it was a quilt. Patotn looked at his phone to see only one text from a spam he sighed in disappointment as he relized no one else notice he had left.

“Whats on your mind Patton.” Janus fixed the blanket on himself and looked up at Patton.

“Nothing to worry about right now!” Patton got ready to carry Janus again and Janus braced himself for Pattons touch who he had some what gotten to like. Patton picked him up and started for the house. Janus and Patton made there way inside Janus clinging to Patton for deer life. He was scared that they would get caught.

“Should i put you in the bath?” Patton whispered as they entered his room. Janus nodded his head in fear if someone in the house were to hear him they would hurt him or worse Patton. Patton pushed open the door to the bathroom nad sat Janus down in the bathtub before he quickly ran out to shut his door and walked back to Janus. “I'm sorry if i hurt you” Patton took the blanket and threw it in his room as he turned back around and dug through his bathroom drawers for a first ad.

“No need to apoligize for something that you did not do Patton” Janus abjusted himself in the tub finding it to be actully pretty big. He took off the cat sweater Patton had wrapped around his fin and frowned as he found it to be covered in a small bit of blood.

“It can be washed so don't worry to much” Patton smiled. Janus had notcied Patton had put on the medical gloves and was ready to do anything he could to help.

“Patton what do you plan on doing with those gloves?” Patton stopped in his tracks trying to think of what he was going to do. Janus chuckled and Patton wished he could hear him laugh more. “Turn on the water and make cold” Janus watched as Patton quickly took off the gloves and as quickly as he could he put two towels in front of the bath tub. Patton turned on the water and watched as Janus watched the water fill the tub.

“Should i go to the store and get Fish fish antibiotics?” Patton started cleaninf up the first aid tossing his sweater aside as he did so.

“That will not be necessary i will heal in around a week if i'm in the water” Patton had a lot of questions but decided to keep them in start seeing what happened after he left. “Patton?” Janus grabbed Pattons hand, he turned around to look at him. “Thank you” Patton smiled so wide it could have knocked his glasses off he quickly hugged Janus before he stood back up.

“I will do anything for you”

Hey! Let me know if you want more to this on i just feel like this part of it has gotten a bit to long!

look, I know I should be working on my book or re making my bed but instead y’all are gunna hear my takes on last airbender cus that show is god teir and I love it

first a disclamer I have seen the hole show but never all in one go so if my time line is fucked or I miss a point sorry, secondly I should mention I have never seen kora so keep that in mind.... I have no idea if that will actully be aplicable but what ever here we go, oh last thing I’m not really spell checking so sorry in advance

lets start with Iroh, he is such an important charicter, one cus he’s like one of two mentally stable people on that show, and two because hes hella powerfull, this man taught our king Zuko everything he knows pretty much was the crown prince growing up is actually leavel headed and you know can BREATH FIRE, honestly hes just like the best and like whenever I need some good advise I just try to think of what Iroh would do, like this man didn’t let the fire nation corupt him, like yes he was a very promanet and powerful general, yet we never see him ecxibit the same type of coruption that his brother does also he is the main reason that Zuko is able to see the coruption of the fire nation himself as well as how Zuko is able to see that his place is as the avatars teacher and not as the exiled prince, Iroh is literaly the only man I will ever love hes like the father I never had, not that I have a bad relationship with my dad, its just that Iroh is the man I look up to he is able to do so much for those around him with out sacrificing his charicter or his own morals and I think we can all learn something from Uncle Iroh even if its just to have a nice cup of jasmin tea

next I’ma talk about Ozi I don’t have much to say other than that he is the reason I have trust issues with my country well him and living in the states

Azula honestly I know shes suposed to be a villan but what can I say shes hot also her flirting skills are honestly about as good as mine I also really love that we get to see more than just one out come of having an abusive parent because of her, now I’m not going to diagnose Ozi but if he were to have narssasistic personality dissorder I would not be suprised I mean its supper clear that he uses Zuko as a scapegoat and that Azula is the “golden” child I will say that even though Azula has her issues they are born of her trama I mean she thought her mother didn’t love her the only prase she gets is from Ozi and only if she acts how he wants her to, I think the best example I can think of is when she Mia, Ty lee and Zuko are at the camp fire sharing trama (which like mood) she acts like everyone is just puting on a show to earn sympathy bc she only got love or attention if she put on a show for Ozi if she made sure that she was exactly who he wanted his child to be, you also see this when she is trying to capture Zuko and Iroh she eassaly is able to act like the loving welcoming baby sister Zuko wants she is extreemly skilled at making people see what/who she wants them too, I think its also important to keep in mind when we talk about/think about Azula to remember she was 14, and who knows how young she was when she started being a part of councel meetings, I mean she saw her father burn half her brothers face off at...12? I think

now to touch on Mia, I personaly wish I had a better grasp of her personality bc she is defenatly someone who has a lot to say, I mean that hole “no you miss calculated I love Zuko more that I fear you” like DAMN that was amazing, she is amazing! yet the thing is I really never saw her love for Zuko other than in that one seen like yeah they dated but it was like how kids date in middle school for the title of boyfriend/girlfriend I also feel like she and Zuko only brought the worst out in each other, all I’m saying is that that relationship was bad for her (also I ship her with Ty lee but thats a diffrent convo) all in all I think that she is a very powerfull woman and I think that she sould have gotten more screen time, also as for why I ship her and Ty lee is i mean I couldn’t have been the only one who saw her reaction to Ty lee being with Azula right?

Honestly Ty lee deserved better than she got with her friendship with Azula she was just trying her best to be her own person yet insted she was made to be Azula’s play thing esentally she was since childhood made to follow Azula’s wishes without complaint and when she finally gets herself on a path to happyness Azula comes along and rips that from her, and I jusr want her to be happy like actual real happy

ok an honerable mention before I finish my fire nation post, I will be making a post for every one else as well, that one fire sage who helped Aang he is the real mvp of the fire nation, as well as the poor fire nation teacher who had to teach Aang i have no clue what she is being paid but having to put up with Aang as a student she deserves a rase

and last but definetly not least my favoret, Zuko now I’m not gunna say much on him cus everyone have probably already said it and better than I could, but like his charicter development is some of the best writing ive seen also the fact that we get to see a teen just trying his depressed sleep deprived best is the greatest thing on that show, I just really love that even though his allyances changed his character didn’t he was still just a teen tramatized by war and working towrds peace and prosparety and that is something I can relate to, hes a fuck up but hes doing his damn best

@alfredhoe420 heres some avatar content for you

My thoughts on the finale of Little Fires Everywhere:

First off, holy shit this show is AMAZING!

Most of the times, when I’m watching TV, I always feel like I’m just watching people act, not actually playing the part. But with this show, I’ve felt like I was watching a camera follow around a family and just watching their lives explode. If this show doesn’t get nominated for a Golden Globes, Emmys, critics, or any other freaking award show, we’re gonna have some problems.

The acting in this show is so immaculate. Like these actors took their time to dive deep into who their characters are, and I’m blown away from how talented of a group they are. Also, like, weirdly the Richardson kids all look the same. Like each of the kids, actor wise , has some type of resemblance to Reese Witherspoon, and it’s so incredible. Whoever the casting director was, did a damn good job.

Now let’s dive into the finale. It was obvious from day one that Elena did not feel the same about Izzy then she did all of her other kids, which is super freaking sad. When she explodes on Izzy telling her that she never even wanted her in the first place,,,, girl that drove a knife in me, that hurt. And when she had that explosion with Lexie in the hallway when Lexie told her that she’s not perfect and she screams that she is, you can just tell that she wanted Lexie to live through her. She wanted Lexie to have a life that she never was able to have.

Moody is by far my favorite character, and the first time that we actully see the family have a loving moment is between him and Izzy when she runs away. I hope that she eventually will get back to Elena when things are better, because I think she’ll make the situation 10 times worst if she catches up with Mia and Pearl. I also love the dynamic between Mia and Izzy. Mia was the mother that Izzy needed because Elena didn’t know how to be that for her. So when she finds the key in the mailbox and she breaks down. I felt hurt for her because she didn’t have that role model that she needed anymore, and she felt like she was trapped once again in a place that make her feel like she wasn’t at home.

Bebe taking Mirabelle,,,ugh, girl what is she doing??? I was so upset, I can understand why Bebe wants to be with Mirabelle so incredibly bad, but it just makes situation worse. I don’t really know where I stand on the whole “who should have Marabelle” thing, in my opinion, I do think that the McCullough are better suited to take care of Mirabelle. They could give her the life that Bebe might’ve not been able to provide her, but I understand Bebe’s struggles with losing her daughter. I think there they were trying to have us feel bad for Bebe, but honestly they make really good points in the fact that Bebe left Mirabelle alone and no mother should do that.

The kids all burning the house down felt a little rush and unreasonable, but that’s the only part I felt conflicted on. Trip and Moody we’re going through it with Pearl, and yes they hated their mother, but there decision to just explode in that moment and burn the house down felt not rational at all. I think the better decision would’ve been for them to run away together and go try and find Izzy and may be completely start over, and start a new life somewhere else. But also the show is entitled little fires everywhere, so I already knew that by the end someone would’ve brought the house down.

I am conflicted with pearl. Because I like her, but there are sometimes when that child annoys the heck out of me. I think she had a right to know about Mia’s whole situation, and I do appreciate her finally at the end of the show understanding where her mom was coming from, but her not letting her mom speak about it and continuously just been like, “no don’t talk, don’t speak” was aggravating. Mia was just trying to tell Pearl her side of the story because. you didn’t get to hear it, she only got to hear what Elena wanted her to here. Elena. I hate that woman with a passion. It was not her place to tell pearl the situation and she completely blew everything up in her face. I am still trying to understand why Elena hated Mia so much, because Mia did absolutely nothing wrong. I thought at the beginning of the show it was because Mia was on the side of Bebe and on the side of the McCulloughs, but it’s clearly because Elena is not living the life that she wanted and Mia is.

I really hope this show gets renewed for a season 2 ( I pretty sure it will though) so we can see how the rest of the story will unfold.

Does he have a girlfriend?

“Basketball captain?” She said surprised. “But I thought he was a Junior?” She had kind of figured as much since they had chemistry class together.

“He is,” Zoey said absently, as she watched TJ.

Sam turned her attention back to TJ as well and felt even more intrigued by the boy. A junior would never have become the captain of any of the sports team at her old school. TJ Kippen just kept getting better and better.

(Or: TJ catches the new girl's eyes and she decides to try and get him to ask her out. Her plans are ruined when she realises that he is already taken but she ends up misunderstanding who he is actully dating.)

read on AO3

When Sam and her family packed up their things to move to Shadyside, she wasn’t exactly enthusiastic. It meant that she had to leave all of her high school and childhood friends behind and the thought of having to make all new friends in her junior year of high school wasn’t exactly an exciting one. She knew how high school worked. People were desperate to find their clique as fast as possible and a few months into freshman year, it was almost impossible to infiltrate another group.

But it hadn't really mattered what she wanted in the end. Her dad had gotten a job offer in the town and after only two months they had packed up all their things and said goodbye to the only home Sam had ever known.

Three days in to her stay in Shadyside hadn’t really changed her mind about the town. Everything was bland and lifeless. The cafes all closed at seven and at ten you could walk all through town without seeing a living soul.

The high school wasn’t that impressive either. Her old school had about 10 000 students but Grant high barely had 2000. The teachers she had meet so far weren’t too bad but they had an annoying habit of having her present herself to everyone each time she attended a new class.

The only thing the High School had going for it were the attractive boys. Her old school had had their fair share as well but they couldn’t compete with the ones she had seen here. The guys here actually seemed like they gave a shit about their appearance and they seemed a lot more mature. There was one boy in particular that had caught Sam’s attention.

TJ Kippen.

They had chemistry together and Sam couldn’t help but sneak glances at him every time the teacher wasn’t looking. There was just something about him that drew her in. He had this easy confidence about him, as if he didn’t care what people thought about him. He was tall and lean with tousled blonde hair that flopped onto his forehead.

The best part about him though, was his smile. He had the kind of smile that immediately made you relax and feel calm. It lit up his whole face and made Sam desperately want it to be directed at her.

From the moment she saw TJ Kippen, she knew she had to try and get him.

But she knew she couldn’t just ask him out. No, they were in completely different planes of the Grant High hierarchy. She knew TJ was popular and had a lot of friends, they always surrounded him between classes, and she was completely new to the school and barely knew anybody.

No, she couldn’t just ask him out. She had to work her way up and do the research that was needed

But if she just had a little patience, she was sure it would all be worth it.

--------------------------------------------------------

“Why are you standing here and staring at TJ Kippen?” Zoey asked.

Zoey was a fairly new student as well and had only gotten there a few weeks before Sam. Their friendship had therefore come pretty naturally.

Sam looked at Zoey as the girl came up to stand beside her but didn’t answer and instead went back to checking TJ out.

He was wearing blue jeans, a black T-shirt and white sneakers. He was in the process of picking out his textbooks from his locker but was being distracted by two other guys who had come up to chat with him.

“You think he is attractive?” Zoey asked.

“Don’t you?” Sam countered and raised her eyebrows.

“Of course I do, it’s TJ Kippen!” Zoey shout-whispered to her and gestured toward him. “He’s like one of the hottest guys in the school!”

Sam didn’t disagree.

“Well what do you know about him?” She asked and looked on as TJ laughed at something one of the guys said.

“Not much really, I haven’t been here long enough. But I do know he’s the captain of the basketball team.” That made Sam finally turn around and face Zoey.

“Basketball captain?” She said surprised. “But I thought he was a Junior?” She had kind of figured as much since they had chemistry class together.

“He is,” Zoey said absently, as she watched TJ.

“I’m gonna try and get him,” she said as TJ fist bumped the two boys and closed his locker.

“What? TJ?” Zoey asked with wide eyes.

“Yeah,” Sam said and shrugged. She turned around and started walking towards her next class.

“Are you going to ask him out?” Zoey asked when she caught up to her.

“No,” Sam said and rounded the corner. She smirked to herself as she said the next words.

“I’m gonna get him to ask me out.”

--------------------------------------------------------

Her first face to face encounter with TJ happened five days into her time at Grant. She was about to have her first history class and she was pleased to find that it was another class her and TJ shared. He walked in five minutes early to class and it was only Sam and another student there. He waved to the other student, a dark haired boy sitting in the corner, and started heading his way, but paused as his eyes fell on Sam.

To her surprise, he walked up to where she was sitting and gave her a friendly smile.

“You’re new here, right?” He asked and tilted his head. It was one of the cutest thing Sam had ever seen and she could feel her heart rate pick up.

“Yeah, I’m Samantha. Or Sam, really,” she said and gave out a little laugh. TJ put his hand out to shake hers. Sam took it and basked in the attention he was giving her.

“TJ,” he said and gave her another one of the signature TJ Kippen smiles. “So how are you liking Grants?”

She smiled at him. “It’s okay, a little smaller than what I’m used to, but okay.” She tried to come up with something to keep the conversation going and something that would impress TJ. “They seem to have a lot of good sports team so I guess that’s nice.”

It seemed to be the right thing to say because TJ’s eyes lit up in an instant.

“You play any sports?”

She nodded her head. “I’ve done volleyball and some basketball.” This was actually true. She had done volleyball her whole sophomore and junior year, but she had played basketball in middle school. She had actually really enjoyed it, but her high school hadn’t had any teams for her to join so then she had ended up with volleyball instead.

“You should try out for the team here then!” TJ said excitedly. “Grants got a really good girls team and I could talk to the captain, Buffy, if you want to. I’m sure she would love to have you try out even though the season has already started.”

That actually sounded a lot of fun and would be a great way for her to climb the social ladder.

“That’d be cool,” she said. “Do you play any sports as well?” She asked even though she already knew the answer.

“Yeah I’m on the boys team,” he said as a few more students filled in to the room.

“Yeah I think I remember hearing something about that. Team captain, right?” She said, trying to sound casual.

As if he wasn’t perfect already, her words made TJ blush and he actually looked surprised at the fact that she knew this. Everyone knew that the people that were popular but didn’t realize themselves, were the most irresistible ones.

“Yeah, I am,” he said and rubbed the back of his neck. “But you should try out for the girls basketball team, I think it would-“ he was interrupted by a boy putting his arm around his neck.

Sam recognizes the boy as John. She had seen him around school and he was friends with one of the boys she had Math with.

“Always trying to recruit people to the basketball teams aren’t you TJ,” the boy said. He looked over at Sam and pointed a finger at TJ. “Don’t listen to this guy. There are more sports in the world other than basketball. TJ here” He grabbed TJ’s shoulder. “just haven’t figured it out yet.”

Sam knew that John was on the schools badminton team and from what she had heard he was really talented as well. She didn’t know how reliable that was though since most of those words had come from John himself.

TJ opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted once again when the teacher came in and told everyone to get to their seat so they could start the class.

--------------------------------------------------------

Sam was sitting opposite Henry from her Math class at lunch. Another thing to add of the never ending lists of disappointments of Grant high. The school cafeteria didn’t have a lot to offer and what they actually had to offer was tasteless at best.

At least the view was good, she thought as she picked around in her food. TJ was sitting a few tables away surrounded by his friends. She could see the girl that someone had told her was named Buffy, the captain of the girls basketball team, sitting opposite TJ next to a boy with short dark blonde hair. Right next to TJ, a boy with dark hair, was seated. He had big brown eyes that were framed by thick lashes and a cute face though he wasn’t really Sam’s type. The boy was talking while using his hands a lot and TJ was watching him with a smile on his face. The boy said something that made everyone at the table laugh and TJ ruffled the boys hair before taking a sip from his drink.

She looked at Henry who, for some reason, didn’t seem to have any problems at all with the bland cafeteria food. He was shoving it in at a quick pace while looking at something on his phone. Sam liked Henry even if he was a bit much sometimes. They lived really close to each other and would often ride the bus to and from school together. Henry was a junior like her and they shared a few classes with each other as well.

It occurred to her that Henry might be a good person to get the information she wanted about TJ. He was a pretty social guy from what she had seen, and she knew he and TJ had a few classes together as well.

She looked at him as he continued to devour his food and then asked, “Do you know TJ Kippen?”

Henry looked up from his phone but didn’t stop shoving food in his mouth. “I mean, kinda. We went to the same middle school before Grant,” he said. He furrowed his eyebrows. “Why?”

Sam shrugged. “We have a few classes together. He just seems like a really nice guy.”

Henry nodded his head and took a sip of his drink. When he swallowed, he said, “Yeah, I mean he is. Which is kind of funny since he used to be sort of a dick when we were in middle school.”

Sam raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Really?”

She had a hard time picturing that version of TJ since she had never seen him be anything but nice to people.

“Yeah, but he became like a whole different person when he got together with-“ Henry stopped mid sentence when John put down his tray with a loud thump.

“So guess who just got detention?” John said and rolled his eyes in annoyance. He sat down at their table and started to go on a rant about one of their teachers.

He and Henry continued talking, unknowing that Henry had just revealed something that had ruined all of Sam’s plans.

--------------------------------------------------------

So TJ had a girlfriend.

Sam was more upset about this than she would like to admit. But she also knew the whole thing had been to good to be true. Of course TJ has a girlfriend, he was the perfect guy. Good looking, friendly, outgoing, smart etc. It just hurt because she had felt like she was just starting to make actual progress in her plan to seduce TJ Kippen. But know it turned out that she had never really stood any chance at all.

It was pretty obvious who the girlfriend was too; Buffy Driscoll. The two of them were almost always together and she had even seen TJ put his arm around her when they walked through the hallways towards class. And it was just so obvious as well. They were the perfect couple; the two captains of the basketball teams dating each other. It was disgustingly sweet and it made Sam want to roll her eyes at the whole situation.

“So apparently TJ isn’t single so my chances are pretty much screwed,” she said to Zoey as she stood by her locker.

Zoey looked at her and gave her a sympathetic look, “Yeah I heard about that just now, I’m really sorry.”

Sam leaned back against the locker next Zoey’s and sighed. “No it’s fine.” Even though it was obviously not. “I bet that it’s that girl Buffy Driscoll,” she said bitterly. “The two of them are always hanging out.

“Actually-“ Zoey started but Sam cut her off.

“You know what it really is fine, those two deserve each other. And apparently they are perfect for each other as well,” she said and thought of what Henry had been saying about TJ being a dick before they started dating.

Zoey started to say something again but was cut of by the bell.

Sam sighed again. “Can’t believe I have to go to class with TJ now and know that he’s completely unavailable.” She started walking towards her class. “See you later.”

She left Zoey, who was wearing kind of a strange expression, at her locker and hurried to make it to chemistry class in time.

--------------------------------------------------------

It was the third game of the season and Sam had decided to go just to torture herself some more with the whole TJ Kippen ordeal.

She was sitting next to some girls that she hadn’t really talked that much to but one of the girls was in her chemistry class and had asked her if she wanted to join them.

It was actually a fun game to look at and Grants basketball team was really impressive. She couldn’t deny that the most impressive player was TJ. He zigzagged around the players with ease and almost never missed a shot.

During half time Sam saw TJ look up onto the bleachers and wink at someone in the audience. She followed his gaze and sure enough, there was Buffy seated next to some of TJ’s other friends.

Sam could feel her good mood decrease instantly.

The game continued on and when it ended, Grant had won big time and the audience erupted into cheers.

Sam joined them and stood up like the rest of the people on the bleachers were doing. She could see TJ on the court, surrounded by the rest of his teammates. They all had their arms around each other and were whooping with joy.

After a while TJ directed his attention to outside the group and broke of from the group. His face split into a big smile as his eyes fell on something in front of him.

Sam thought she knew who he was looking at but when she searched for Buffy she found the girl in a totally different direction than TJ was looking, talking to one of the guys on the team who had also broken of from their group. She followed TJ’s gaze and instead saw the dark haired boy that she had seen sit with TJ at lunch several times. He was making his way through the crowd of people that were now on the court. When he finally came to a part where the court was empty of people, he broke into a run. TJ met him halfway and the boy threw himself around TJ’s neck.

To Sam’s surprise, TJ wrapped his arms around the boy, lifted him up and spun him around.

And she was even more surprised at what happened next. TJ put the boy down but neither of them released their hold on each other. The boy said something to TJ that made him smile even wider and then he reached down and kissed the boy.

Sam blinked. Was this really happening? She looked around to see if anyone else was caught of guard by what was happening. Most people didn’t seem surprised at all of what was happening but a few boys on the team were looking at TJ and the boy and wolf whistled. But neither of them looked like they had just discovered that their captain was cheating on his girlfriend.

And that’s when realization hit Sam.

Oooohhhh

She almost wanted to smack herself for being so stupid. There had never been a girlfriend, it had always just been a boyfriend. Her stupid heteronormative brain had just assumed that it was Buffy because the thought of the captain of the basketball team being together with a guy, hadn’t even occurred to her.

She looked back towards Buffy and saw that she was holding hands with one of the boys on the team that she had been talking to before. Sam almost felt bad for thinking so many mean thoughts about Buffy while she thought she was together with TJ. Even if she had been together with TJ, it wouldn’t really have been fair since she hadn’t done anything wrong.

She looked back to where TJ and the boy were still standing together, but now a few of the boys from the team had joined them. TJ had his arm around the shorter boys shoulders and the group were all laughing at something the boy was saying.

Sam tried to push away the pang of jealousy that she felt when watching them. The whole thing with Buffy had taught her a lesson. There was no reason to dislike a person just because they had something you didn’t.

But it was still hard to look at the two boys together so she stood up, said goodbye to the girls and then walked out of the gym.

--------------------------------------------------------

Three days later she found herself back to staring at TJ Kippen again at the lockers, only this time, the dark haired boy was with him.

She had been avoiding going by TJ’s locker the past few days and had been surprised when she’d seen him by another locker who seemed to belong to the other boy. TJ was leaning against the locker next to the one the boy was taking his stuff out of and the two of them were talking but Sam was too far away to hear what they were saying.

They both had matching smiles on their faces and as Sam looked at them, she couldn’t help but think about how obvious it had all been. All of the interactions that she had witnessed between the two boys had been filled with affectionate looks and touches and if she hadn’t been so caught up in the idea that TJ was together with Buffy, she was sure that she would have figured out the truth immediately.

As they talked, TJ reached out a hand and the boy interlaced their fingers absently, almost as if it was a reflex and something he didn’t have to think about.

“What’s up?” Came a voice to her left. She tore her gaze from TJ and the boy and found John standing next to her.

She couldn’t help the question that came out of her mouth.

“Who’s that boy that TJ’s with?”

John looked over to where TJ and the boy were still holding hands and then back at her.

“You mean Cyrus Goodman?”

Cyrus Goodman, Sam thought, satisfied to finally have a name for the boy.

“And they are together?” She asked and nodded her head in TJ’s and Cyrus’s direction.

John let out a snort. “Yeah only since like forever. I’m pretty sure they have been together since middle school or something,” he said. Then he asked, “why do you ask?”

Sam shrugged. “No reason.”

John gave her a weird look.

“Are you homophobic or something,” he said hesitantly. “Because that’s really not cool.”

Sam looked back at him in shock. “ What!? No!”

A few people looked her way at her exclamation. She looked towards TJ and Cyrus but the two of them seemed to be two caught up with each other to have noticed her outburst.

She lowered her voice again. “I just…” she trailed off, not knowing how to finish that sentence without embarrassing herself even more.

John looked over to TJ and Cyrus again and then realization seemed to hit him.

“Oh you like TJ?” He said in a whisper. Sam still shushed him and looked at him accusingly.

John laughed but tried to stop when he saw that Sam was glaring at him.

“I’m sorry,” he said and almost managed to sound like he meant it. “But I’m afraid you don’t have any chances at all with TJ Kippen. He has only ever had eyes for Cyrus.”

Sam only sighed in response.

“I’m actually kind of surprised that you didn’t know about them. They’re a pretty big deal at the school and are both involved in a lot of school activities. They even started the first GSA club here at the school. They are kind of Grant High’s very own Barack and Michelle.”

Sam looked toward the boys as they started walking towards her and John.

“Hey guys!” TJ said to them when they got closer.

“What’s up,” John said and fist bumped both TJ and Cyrus.

“So Grants still hasn’t scared you off yet?” TJ said and smiled at Sam.

Sam did her best to smile back at him and to her surprise it wasn’t that hard. She guessed TJ had that effect on people.

“Not yet,” she said.

“Sam’s new here,” TJ explained to Cyrus and the boy looked over to her.

“Nice to meet you,” he said. “I’m Cyrus.” He gave her a friendly smile. His eyes were even bigger up close and were a rich brown. Sam could see why TJ liked him and she was happy that the thought didn’t fill her with jealousy.

She nodded and returned his smile.

“Are you nervous for the games on Saturday?” TJ asked John.

“Nah,” John said. “Don’t think I will face that much competition.”

TJ and Cyrus both laughed at Johns blunt confidence.

“Are you guys coming to watch?” John asked them.

“Yeah we were just talking about it.” Cyrus said and TJ nodded.

“Sweet,” John said.

The bell rang and they all said goodbye and hurried of to their classes.

--------------------------------------------------------

“So it turns out Buffy isn’t TJ’s girlfriend,” Sam said as she sat down opposite Zoey at a table in the cafeteria. “In fact he doesn’t have a girlfriend at all and is apparently dating Cyrus Goodman.”

Zoey looked up from her phone and didn’t look surprised at all by this revelation. “So you finally figured it out huh?”

Sam looked at her with wide eyes. “You knew?” She said incredulously. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Zoey pointed a finger at her.

“I tried to tell you that time in the hallway,” she said defensively. “But you wouldn’t hear me out and then you just ran off to class.” Then she smirked. “And then I didn’t en up telling you later because the whole thing was kind of funny.”

Sam slumped forward on the bench and buried her face in her arms. She let out a frustrated sound.

“So how did you find out?” Zoey asked.

“At the game,” Sam said. “They kissed after they had won the game.”

She looked up at Zoey and saw the girl nodding her head. “Kinda sad that I wasn’t there to see your reaction to be honest.”

Sam let out another frustrated sound and let her head fall down again. She felt Zoey’s hand on her arm.

“Hey I’m sorry your plan didn’t work out.” This time when Sam looked up she was meet with a sympathetic look. “But there are a hundred more decent guys at this school that would love to date you,” Zoey continued. She then shrugged and said, “and there is more to life than stupid boys you know.”

Sam gave her a small smile. “I know. Thanks.” Zoey squeezed her arm lightly before releasing her and continued to eat her lunch.

After a while Henry and John came and joined them and as she sat and listened to the boy’s story about what had happened in their biology class, Sam realized that another thing.

Not only did she not need a boy to climb the schools hierarchy, but maybe she didn’t need to climb it at all. The only thing that mattered was that she had friends that she liked and had fun with and as she looked around at the people at her table she realized that she had just that.

Even though she had only known them for about two weeks, she already had the comfortable feeling of being at ease with them. They joked around and teased each other. And when she was with them, the thought of spending the next two years here didn’t seem too bad.

Her sappy thoughts were interrupted by John’s voice.

“So did you guys know that Sam has a crush on TJ Kippen?” He gave her a mischievous grin.

Sam threw one of her fries at him.
