Hush, Hush: Chapter 5

ZeldaQueen: Alrighty then. The sooner we more on, the sooner we get done.

Incidentally, and I know I should have posted this last chapter but I forgot, but there's two things to check out in the comments section of Chapter 3. The first is a lovely, lovely GIF from das_mervin, which shows exactly what would happen if Castiel went up against Patch. The second

Actually, iron pills can be a prescription because mine are. I'm anemic and it came on suddenly so it is possible that this is something new, but my anemia was caused by something else. So, Fitzpatrick did get that right. Though, I do think the secretary would require a doctor's note and prescription because anemia isn't something you can see and go 'oh you really are sick!'.

Blargh, Patch sucks. I will never, ever understand the appeal of these types of bad boys. I'll take Jack Sparrow any day (the ones from the movies, not Gethsemane's fics), at least he's fun and tells you everything up front!

[zelda_queen]

Oh, I gotcha! ^_^;; But yeah, still no note and prescription. Plus, I did get the impression that taking those pills was pretty normal for her, so it really didn't feel like it was new. O_o I guess it could be, though.

Dude, Jack Sparrow's awesome! :D Still, he's the sort you swoon over and keep an eye on, lest he make off with your jewelry. XD

Hm. Like I said in my comment on the last chapter, my sister's friend loved Patch because he's clearly an evil sonofabitch.

As for me... I can't focus on him clearly being an evil villain when I keep getting the message "He is hot. He is a bad boy and so mysterious and dangerous, but it's okay to keep talking to the guy, because of course, he can't be that bad. Oh, and he's hot" from Nora, the character I'm apparently supposed to sympathize with.

Your school sounds very neat and security conscious. We just had a fire drill that caused three fires (one where a fire proof mat caught fire...) and prompted the discovery that there was no fire alarm in one building.

I think I've given up attempting to make sense of this thing. The author however, takes suspension of disbelief way too far unintentionally.

[zelda_queen]

Well, we had plenty of troubles with the fire alarm. ^^; One time, the entire school was evacuated because someone was spray painting a room and that somehow set off the alarm. XD Another time, we had drills two or three days in a row because some idiot decided it would be a grand end-of-year trick to play. And before that, another idiot pulled an alarm halfway, because he was convinced he could do that without tripping anything. The alarm went off and a bunch of us missed most of our lunch period. -_-

This is just like Twilight, where stuff just happens for no reason at all. As much as I'm loath to admit it, not even the House of Night series makes that mistake. It has egregious pacing yes, but at least there's *some* semblance of logical train of events.

Having read this book, I find that Patch just gets even more creepy as it goes on. And, to make it worse, when you find out why he actually was hanging around Nora...It would make any sane person mace him, run home, lock the doors and call the police.

So, naturally, she'll do none of that.

And Fitzpatrick honestly believes that I'm going to buy that a casual bomb threat called directly to the secretary would not result in a total lockdown and/or evacuation of the school? Or that, surprise, surprise, there's no consequences to it the next day?My Environmental Science class was held hostage one Monday by a disgruntled student who had apparently figured out before he got his test back that day that oops, he'd flunked. I'm certain of this, in fact, because he brought his father's handgun to school that day. (This was before there were metal detectors in schools. Also, the kid was at a private school where admin wouldn't admit that crimes existed

[zelda_queen]

Oh wow. That's frightening. o_o

[parrinoyed]

That's INSANE.

Now, I live in a small rural area, where it's still considered acceptable that in high school, about half the driving student population will have their hunting rifles in the back of their trucks. But if anyone had tried to bring it on school grounds?

In 8th grade, someone heard beeping from a locker, and they evacuated the school (kind of like a bomb threat). It turned out to be an alarm clock. I was away from school only because of an academic thing and was so mad. I missed everything interesting.
