Twenty Five

[Before classes start, Shortpack is chillin' eating breakfast, ready to start the day. His journal is open beside him]

I was dragged off to private tutoring at the Institute before I had a chance to start high school, this feels like a second chance to find out what it's really like. I've got to admit, I'm kinda excited.

[Okay, Shortpack, you know that first question is iffy to ask her in the best of times, and with unchecked raging teenage hormones? Not so much a good idea.]

Of course I'm okay. It's just really annoying at this point, but I'm not dead yet. And I've always been human since I've been at Paradisa, you know that. Did you hit your head or something? Are you on a Loss?

[Gives a little huff] I don't know why you're so excited. And what's gym? [They're scary, man]

I never got to do it before, and I always wanted to, that's why. Gym is somewhere where you run about and hit things. [You know, YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO]

Shortpack

[brdskllwarrior]

Well, I ... hope you have fun? [Still dubious, but hey, whatever makes you happy, BFF]

Oh, I like the sound of that! A lot better than that PE thing Carrie told me about. [Running and hitting! Best things ever!]

I will, thanks. [It's cool, he swears, learning is awesome ;__;]

I think they call it PE in other places, but there's stuff like football and martial arts which involves a lot of...uh...violence.

[Learning can be awesome. Learning by writing papers? Not so awesome. At least, this is probably what 7 will think]

Well, hopefully it will be more like your description, then.

So how are your roommates?

I'm sure you'll love it.

They're okay. There's a really nervous guy there, I'm keeping an eye on him.

[A little sigh,] Well, we all are still castle residents ... there's bound to be the crazy ones.

I don't think he's crazy. Just...nervous.
