Sounds like someone needs to get better at gaslighting lol
Troubled, I woke in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep again for what seemed like a very long time.

This is so early 2000s lol
My sense of direction was hopeless; I could get lost in much less helpful surroundings.
Is she good at anything? God she’s annoying
I listed again in my head the things I’d observed myself: the impossible speed and strength, the eye color shifting from black to gold and back again, the inhuman beauty, the pale, frigid skin.

She acts like both of her parents are imbeciles
The Port Angeles scheme was back on again for tonight and made all the more attractive by the fact that Lauren had other obligations.
She was working at the cafe, which she does every weekend, and she would have normally been able to take it off but this time there was some kind of bug going around so they were short staffed. She didn’t mind because she got to work with the guy she’s started developing a crush on.
and the estrogen rush was invigorating.
This is so weird

Gayyyy
“That’s why Lauren doesn’t like you,” Jessica giggled while we pawed through the clothes.

ITS TOO SOON
“An indulgence,” he admitted with an impish smile. “We all like to drive fast.”
