Initiation

[CJ]

((LOL! Nice way to phrase that. XD))

River shrugged.

[CJ]

((My characters all seem pretty good at creating trouble, now that I think about it...))

He snorted, again. "Never had any to take, before."

[CJ]

((XD! I'm already at school! I'm sitting in Science right now, watching a video. Well, see you later. I won't be on until late.))

River laughed, again. He seemed to be doing a lot of that lately... He had no response to Bekah.

[CJ]

River decided to start a staring contest.

[Sab]

Cleo walked in with her essays. She was honestly too bored to look around and maybe even slightly lonely. Sighing she picked a desk at the back and sat gloomily.

[CJ]

((You're a dancer? Me too! What style(s)?))

River stared relentlessly. He was not going to lose to a girl!

[CJ]

River waved his hand around, trying to find Catron's face without breaking his gaze.

[CJ]

((My focuses are ballet and pointe, but I also do modern, contemporary, character, lyrical, jazz, hip-hop, and something else that I can't remember. Strangely, I have never taken a tap class... Huh. How many days do you take?))

"AHHAHAHAHahahaha!" River exclaimed.

[CJ]

((Cool! I dance five hours a day, except Fridays. :) And six on Saturday... But I never have to train to compete. XD Sounds hard.))

River smirked.

[CJ]

((I hope to become a professional ballerina... A friend of mine was accepted into the Paris Opera Ballet last year, which is a huge deal, at least to my ballet teachers, and I hope to travel there summer after this summer. XD I have such big dreams...))

River continued to smirk.

[CJ]

"Nope!" River shook his head. "I can blow a bigger bubble with bubble gum than you can, I bet you anything."

[CJ]

River ignored Catron. "Of course I do! Give me some credit! Fruit or mint? Or normal? Or coconut?" He pulled multiple packages of gum from his jacket pocket.

[CJ]

River tossed her a piece of spearmint gum wrapped in blue paper. "Catron?"

[CJ]

River laughed. "No, I don't care about whether you compete. I just wondered whether you wanted some gum!"

[CJ]

"Dauntless," River reminded him, "What flavor?"

[CJ]

"Of course the Dauntless have gum!" River said, "And you're getting... Fruit..." He tossed him a piece from the colorful package. "And I'll have coconut..." he popped a piece into his mouth and gagged. "Now I remember why I've never made it through that box... Yeck!"

[CJ]

"Sells better," River explained, opening a stick of fruit, instead, because the coconut flavor was awful.

[CJ]

"Okay..." River cracked his knuckles. "Are we ready?"

[CJ]

"Yes, us, Mr. Wuss."

((Goodnight... I am tired!))

[CJ]

((Yeesh! I absolutely can't stand coconut gum OR cinnamon gum! Or even mint... I only like fruit. XD))

River chewed his gum, too. ((I mean, yay for creativity, right? Eh, it's too early...))

[[deleted user]]

((did u know they have squid ink flavored ice cream in japan? or that they have mint chocolate chip ice-cream gum? lol I got up at 6, too))

[[deleted user]]

((same! ever had orange cream soda gum?))

[[deleted user]]

((Yeah, but the apple pie one is gross!!!))

[[deleted user]]

(kk same here. ill be on at probs 4, ok?))

[Sab]

Leaf walked in eying the little party that was going on. Smirking he walked up to the front, "Essays to the front, completed or not. NOW" he said.


Cleo jumped slightly when Leaf's voice broke the silence in her head.

[Evelina]

Mae stood up, and picked up her 23 neat pages of carefully written text and research. She made sure it was stapled and had no rips or tears in it, then handed it to Leaf. She then returned to her seat, waiting for the next test.

[CJ]

River set his whopping two pages on top of the stack.

[[deleted user]]

Brandon walked up with everyone and set his twenty seven pages essay on top of the stack.

[[deleted user]]

((Nice.))

[[deleted user]]

((Well the frappé chino part.))

[[deleted user]]

((I feel ya.))

Branden watched their conversation carefully, unsure what to think of all of it.

[[deleted user]]

((Yeah. It's all worth it. You have like perfect teeth afterwards.))

[[deleted user]]

Branden rolled his eyes. Everyone and their bubble gun. It was gross.

[[deleted user]]

"Gum. It's odd." He said. Branden looked down at his book and read the last sentence. Then, shutting the book slowly, he turned it over to the cover.

[Evelina]

((How much research and stuff did Branden do for his report? I mean, the only reason I made mae's paper so long was because of all the writing I put into the fact that she was researching, fact checking, and proofreading over and over and over. I think there joule be a 25 page limit for the papers. :P that's just me, though.))

[[deleted user]]

((He is passionate and wants to do his best.))

[Evelina]

((So is everyone, though. You didn't really go into detail on exactly how his page got that long. Correct me of I'm wrong, (no seriously, if I'm wrong, tell me) but as far I I remember, he just walks into the library, typed his paper in like one post, and then handed it in. Mae, (who apparently typed 4 pages less) did all the detail work that went into typing a 23 page essay. She checked and crosschecked multiple sources (literally like 10 per topic) and wrote about like five different topics. She proofread and checked for plagiarism about once a post. Brandon just typed his in like one post, and yet he has like almost thirty pages.))

[[deleted user]]

((Chill. Please. I just got into initiation. Please just chill. I don't want anymore drama.))

[[deleted user]]

((If you'd like u can go write a big long paragraph. I just didn't want to keep Mackenzie waiting.))

[Evelina]

((Um, please don't be condescending towards me. I'm not starting any "drama". I'm just suggesting a bit of a cut to Branden's paper... O.o))

[[deleted user]]

((I don't want to cut his paper. I'm happy with it and like I said. I didn't want to keep her waiting.))

[Evelina]

((Well he also "finished" way after leaf said that time was up... It's just not fair. A lot of people work really hard to put detail. Heck, then only reason I made Mae's 23 pages was because I made it clear that she worked really hard. But Branden just finished his in a couple of posts, and after time was up.))

[[deleted user]]

((Like I said before, I just got in so I missed all instruction. I would enjoy it if you would quit going at my throat. I do t like it. Cut me a bit of slack.))

[[deleted user]]

((If you guys would rather, I can just completely leave. Seeing that apparently everywhere I go people get enraged and inflamed and always gang up in me.))

[Evelina]

((I'm not going at your throat at all, luna.

[[deleted user]]

((It feels like that wherever I go though, people gang up on me, push me to corners like I am a nobody, and point out my tiniest mistakes. And believe me when I say I am sick of it! And I know everyone in here wants me out. Anyone who says otherwise is just kidding themselves. Admit it, everyone. You want me out.))

[Evelina]

((Please. Now you're just being dramatic. We just agree on the same matter. We're not ganging up on you. I know it's hard to believe, but I have other things to do. Can we all please just agree? I'm tired of fighting. Hell, I'm tired of living. But I'm not going to go around accusing people of ganging up on me. If two people agree that I should change something, I would do it. What's so hard?))

[[deleted user]]

((I am not being dramatic. And I am so sick of how people treat me in this group. Honestly. Everyone treats me like im a nobody. And I'm not going to change something I did because people don't like it. And people have been ganging up on me. And guess what? It hurts. Dammit I'm so sick of this. Please excuse my language but thats how sick of it I am.))

[Evelina]

((And I'm sorry if anything I say comes off as mean. I'm just tired. Literally, tired of everything. All anyone ever does is remind me that I'm selfish, nasty, vicious, inconsiderate, lazy, and unable to feel empathy. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about my family. The people who are supposed to stick with me. Most of it is true, too, And no matter how hard I try, I can't it. Yesterday, my violin broke. The violin I've had for years. The one I named, and took everywhere. And all anyone would do is yell. I'm just freaking done. My friends are done putting up with me, my family talks behind my back. I literally wish I would die. I don't even know. I'm just really pissed off right now. Please... Disregard any mean things I say. Please. I'm not trying to be mean, nasty, or vicious. Apparently it's who I am. And sorry for annoying you. Just... Please, PLEASE cut the paper, okay? I'm scared that is I ask again, I'll turn into a monster. I don't want to.))

[Evelina]

((And I'm sick if how people treat me in real life. In every group. Just... Try not to be so dramatic about it. It just comes off as self pity. And I used to pity myself so much that I now hate any hint of it. Other people have problems too. No matte how bad you feel, there's always someone who feels worse. I learned that the hard way.))
