[bitchykid]

What are you studying?

[revengeisbitter]

Shit. It writes back.

[bitchykid]

I thought you'd figured that out already.

[revengeisbitter]

Sure, but it doesn't happen all that often, see.

[pauses]

It's a poem. By some guy named Langston Hughes.

[peculiarmlle]

It seems obvious to you because you have a gift for it, but other students do struggle with poetry.

[revengeisbitter]

A gift? Not really. I just think it's pointless. Who are you?

[peculiarmlle]

But you instantly grasp its meaning. Not many people do that, even with a poem as clear as this one might ostensibly seem. I'm Belle Delaunay, with The Daily Bugle.

[revengeisbitter]

Poems just talk about how shitty the world is. It isn't science.

Sasuke.

[cowboy_newsie]

Just write something about how its about how ain't nobody's ever free and there's always somebody getting beat down and then you won't get smacked by your teacher for not doing your work.

[revengeisbitter]

I planned on it. Who is this?

[cowboy_newsie]

Jack Kelly. You?

[revengeisbitter]

Sasuke Uchiha. Your handwriting is awful.

[payback]

[A long pause, and a dot where her pen rests against the page. Then written slowly and neatly:]

Is that from Mrs. Garrison?

[revengeisbitter]

Yeah. How'd you know?

[payback]

Isn't it obvious?

[revengeisbitter]

I don't think deciphering handwriting is part of the course requirements.

[acidcut]

That's why studying poetry is a waste of time.

[revengeisbitter]

Unfortunately my teachers don't seem to think so.

[acidcut]

Teachers never do.

[revengeisbitter]

Unfortunately. Who are you, anyway?
