Afternoon. History class with [color=b57f13][b]Henry[/b][/color], [color=a187be][b]Ariana[/b][/color], [color=dodgerblue][b]Justin[/b][/color], and [color=ff682f][b]True[/b][/color].[/color][/sub] [img]https://i.imgur.com/COM6JMp.png?1[/img][/center] [indent]Goodness gracious, how did she make it this far? Ariana Song was a walking corpse at this point, but yet here she was barely functioning in history class. At least she’d managed to ditch the shades though, but the light was still hitting like Mike Tyson. History class was more miserable when you were hungover, especially with the most boring teacher on Earth. The only thing making this scenario slightly more bearable was Ari’s BFFL, Henry. The two had slowly started to gravitate together in the class. Originally they were on opposite sides of the room, but via Ariana’s special form of manipulation, she’d slowly found her way across the classroom, leading her to where she is now. Currently, Ariana was rubbing her temples while the teacher was droning on about Amerigo Vespucci. She leaned over to Henry. [color=a187be][b]"I’ll give you $5 to shoot me.”[/b][/color] [color=b57f13][b]“Man, you gotta watch that alcohol intake. You out there drinkin’ like you Robert Downey Jr back when he was really fucked up, and a lot of fun. You out there poundin’ back shots like you my moms on a bad Tuesday. You wildin’, you trippin’. You hungover as fuck. I ain’t need five bucks, so you’re forced to carry on livin’, babe.”[/b][/color] Came Henry’s smooth to his friend, before he looked down at his notebook and scratched down another thing or two. Henry actually didn’t mind history class; he thought it was one of the more important parts of the curriculum. If he ever [i]had[/i] to get a degree, he was going to go for some wild combination, like a Masters in some subset of Chemistry, and a Bachelors in World History. Why not? He loved both of those subjects, and if he was gonna be forced to go to school anyway, he might as well go for something he enjoyed. [color=b57f13][b]“You gotta learn self control. ‘Course before you can learn self control, you gotta learn a bigger one: self respect. You’re killin’ yourself out there. It’s a bummer.”[/b][/color] Henry tutted, shaking his head. Did he agree with Ari’s life choices? Absolutely not. That was part of the reason why him putting his dick inside of her was only a one time thing. Okay, it was closer to two or three. But it was just that one night! So it was ‘one time.’ [color=b57f13][b]“I think we’re startin’ our project today. Me and you partner up, yeah?”[/b][/color] Ariana rolled her eyes and laughed if them partnering up was even a question. Duh. Of course she was gonna partner up with the closest thing she had to a best friend here. [color=a187be][b]"Do cows eat grass? Of course we’re gonna partner up. Not like we ain’t partnered up before anyway.”[/b][/color] The great thing about having Henry in this class was that she had a guaranteed partner for projects and assignments. That meant she had someone she’d like to consider reliable having her back, and she sure as hell had his back just as long as she was sober. [color=a187be][b]"I hope nobody else tries to get in on this though.”[/b][/color] Speaking of ‘no one else’, the door swung open and a new face pranced into the classroom with reckless abandon. The teacher did not look up from his book. All he muttered was ‘you’re late’ and ‘take a seat’ before continuing on with his lecture like Wah Wah (the Peanuts’ teacher). A young, redheaded freshman entered a domain that had no freshmen. Territory that was off-limits to her! It was an elective offered to every year other than freshmen. She wasn’t here for the subject matter though. She was here for a [i]person[/i]. Standing by the door, she quickly scanned the students all staring at her before she found her target and locked eyes with him. HENRY. HENRY GREEN. After finding the quickest way to his table, she went through every obstacle she could just to get to Mr. Consultant. [b]“Hey!”[/b] A girl growled as Truly Bliss climbed over her desk and onto the other side. [color=ff682f][b]“Shuushhhh. I got business here.”[/b][/color] [b]“Quiet down you two.”[/b] The teacher droned, still not acknowledging the freshman using his classroom like a playground. In time, she made her way to the back and dragged a metal chair loudly on the floor, forcing her way in between Henry and this asian. [color=ff682f][b]“Henry? Henry Green? I need your wisdom! I’m told you’re the one to go to, when you don’t know what to do, because you’re good at this stuff. Consulting, you know? The name’s Truly. Truly Bliss. But you can call me True!”[/b][/color] She looked from the boy then to the girl, [color=ff682f][b]“Sorry for being rude, it’s nice to meet you too!”[/b][/color] She offered both of her hands to her new advisors to shake, since she didn’t know who to give it to first. Was it even proper to shake hands? Oh well, she’d just go with it. What… just happened? One second Ariana was talking to Henry another second she was being cockblocked by some weird random girl who barged in outta nowhere. Needless to say, Ariana was confused. She shot the girl a weird look, leaving her hanging. Leaning to get a better view of Henry, she raised an eyebrow, [color=a187be][b]"What's up with freshmen and getting up in my business today?”[/b][/color] Nah. No way. [color=b57f13][b]“Nah, nigga. You fuckin’ with me. Ain’t nobody seriously name their kid ‘Truly Bliss,’ that some bullshit ass fake name.”[/b][/color] Henry said, shaking his head and waving his hand off. [color=b57f13][b]“You ain’t gotta come up here with that bullshit to try and get some advice. ‘sides, I don’t even good that good of advice, I just helped out Dames and his lads that one time. To be honest, that shit went pretty badly. Owen was gonna kill that Marshall kid, and to be honest he shoulda executed him, because he was a real piece-a work, ya know?”[/b][/color] Henry shook his head again, waving his hand once more. Nah, this bitch fuckin’ with him. [color=b57f13][b]“Did Hails send your ass up in this bitch to fuck with me? Because that sounds like somethin’ that chick would do.”[/b][/color] [color=ff682f][b]“Hey, hey, HEY. I am NOT lying. My parents are [i]weird[/i]. They got pictures where my mom is literally worshipping my dad, kissing his FEET. I’m pretty sure I’m named after the best orgasm she’s ever had—”[/b][/color] [color=b57f13][b]“You Connor and Mel’s kid, ain’t you?”[/b][/color] [color=ff682f][b]“Yepp! And my brother only says good things about you. As such, I need your help. I’m [i]desperate[/i] and Damian is too busy in Joyland. If you saw my mom… I don’t like when she’s in the kitchen. And with a knife in her hand. She cuts veggies like she’s cutting off a man’s… beeeeep.”[/b][/color] True emphasized her words by chopping the desk dramatically. [color=b57f13][b]“The fuck you want? I’m out here tryna talk about history with one of my Koreans. Gotdamn woman, get on with it. Joyland? The fuck that mean? Oh, you mean Joy Darling. I did that, yo. He lucky I helped him out like that.”[/b][/color] [color=ff682f][b]“Oh, well if you did that, he might die eventually. Either by my mother or by my godfather. Only time can tell! Okay. So. This is my situation.”[/b][/color] She paused to look from Henry then to Ariana, [color=ff682f][b]“I need you to listen too, because you’re a girl and you may be better at this stuff than Henry. I don’t know!”[/b][/color] Ariana paused for a moment as Truly made the notion that she actually knew what the fuck she was doing. Blinking twice, she then broke into rather rambunctious laughter. Did… this girl think she knew how these things worked? Ariana didn't know how even she worked, and she was the only Ariana! [color=a187be][b]"Who… is this girl?"[/b][/color] Justin in the meantime was busy spinning his pen idly until he heard the word “Green”. Did someone just say Green? As in.. Cyndi Green? Dropping his pen, he saw that it was Henry that mentioned the cutest girl he’d ever laid his eyes on at this school. [color=dodgerblue][b]"Wait… are you related to Cyndi?”[/b][/color] Justin asked curiously. Hopefully this was [i]the[/i] Green and not a discount version of them. [color=b57f13][b]“I’m her older brother, yes.”[/b][/color] Henry said to Justin, before he looked at True again. [color=b57f13][b]“If he dies, at least he dies knowing he had his hands all over Joy.”[/b][/color] Henry said simply, before shrugging his shoulders. This was too much. Now he had two people talking to him at once. [color=dodgerblue][b]"You are?!”[/b][/color] Justin sat back. Suddenly the game changed massively. [color=dodgerblue][b]"I need to talk to you later.”[/b][/color] The man smiled, before going back to whatever it was he was doing and being productive. [color=ff682f][b]“Wait, no you don’t, SIR! If you need to ask something, ask away.”[/b][/color] True tapped the desk to bring Justin’s attention back to them. [color=ff682f][b]“Burning thoughts cannot wait. I’m simply a freshman, I can! I’ll just ask Henry’s friend for advice. You talk to Mr. Consultant. It’s okay. It’ll change your life.”[/b][/color] With that, True turned her body towards the girl who she knew nothing about, but based on the fact that she was sitting right next to Henry, it must mean that she too was good at advice. The most logical analysis. [color=ff682f][b]“Hi, hi, so I like to know the name of the person I’m talking to. What’s your name?”[/b][/color] Dropping his pen again, Justin was bewildered. What did they feed these freshmen? Why were they so fucking weird? [color=dodgerblue][b]”I don’t think that’s any of your business… what are you even doing here anyway? Don’t you have freshman classes to be doing?”[/b][/color] Justin asked curiously, chucking his pen at Truly. [color=dodgerblue][b]"I’m Justin, though.”[/b][/color] Though, there was definitely a freshman thing [i]he’d[/i] like to be doing. [color=b57f13][b]“Bro, lay off the freshmen dude. All of ya’all need to chill. We was freshmen once. Just cuz you the captain now don’t mean you gotta push the kids around. ‘Sides, you wanna nail Cyndi? She’s a freshman, dude. Keep that in mind. And Ari, just cuz I dicked you down don’t mean you above ‘em neither. Be nice the kids, they aight. Specially that Kit one. You guys see that video of her makin’ out with Sam? Good for her.”[/b][/color] Henry had said his piece. [color=a187be][b]"Dude that Kit girl literally came up to me and started slamming the table and talking at a million miles an hour while I was dealing with my headache. You’d have to forgive me if I’m not very fond of freshmen right now.”[/b][/color] Ariana was [i]just[/i] waiting for another freshman to come and annoy her. Ariana was also a little hurt that Henry decided to defend the freshman over her. [color=dodgerblue][b]"Oh yeah. You right.”[/b][/color] Justin nodded, folding his arms and returning to his chair. He had a point. He couldn’t push the freshmen around anymore now that he was hopefully gonna get with one. True started drawing circles on the desk, feeling terrible about her existence. First, she hurt the love of her life, now she was causing a stir between friends. A subtle pout appeared on her face. [color=ff682f][b]“I’m sorry to bother you guys… I just kind of broke the heart of the guy I like… and I don’t know how to make it better…”[/b][/color] Tears started welling up in True’s eyes. Kit was better at telling people what she wanted. [color=b57f13][b]“See, now she’s crying.”[/b][/color] Henry tutted in Ariana’s direction, before he turned to True. [color=b57f13][b]“You’re probably fine. Just tell us what happened and we’ll tell ya what to do It’s probably pretty easy, you’re just like a new one so you made an ouch, but I get it’s easy to get outta it, I can help. Hit me with the problem.”[/b][/color] [color=a187be][b]”Oooh. How sad.”[/b][/color] Ariana rolled her eyes, [color=a187be][b]”It’s gonna blow over in a few days. Don’t get your panties in a twist.”[/b][/color] This girl had the audacity to come into the middle of their class and completely ruin the mood and fun she was having with her best friend, Henry. It wasn’t beyond her to be a little bit annoyed at this freshman considering how her day had go ne so far. [color=dodgerblue][b]"The girl has a point. You just gotta give it time and see where it goes.”[/b][/color] He still had to figure out the situation though, [color=dodgerblue][b]"But hit us with the situation.”[/b][/color] There was a brief moment where a dark, [i]extremely[/i] dark glare was directed to Ariana, but it disappeared in a heartbeat and the freshman took a 180 with her mood. Back to smiling, she was ready to take the floor and explain her plight. She took a deep breath in, before the story, her story unraveled, [color=ff682f][b]“I met this boy and he’s the most wonderful boy ever. We met by chance and since then, he’s all that’s ever on my mind! Unfortunately, I’ve never really had the courage to tell him all this and that one day, I will marry him. Because he’s totally my type and husband material and I will not allow him to be with anyone else but me. So to be the best love for him, I memorized his schedule, know everything he likes to eat, all his friends, where he hangouts, you know. The basics. Yesterday, at the party, I finally wrote him a love letter, but I didn’t expect him to like try to track me down! I freaked! I did the only logical thing. I stole people’s clothes, they were already taking it off anyways, for a disguise. But then I found this really weird room. It looked like a dungeon! And there were pretty outfits. So I tried a outfit. I looked like a very [i]mature[/i] school girl. Then there was a throne! It was so cool. So, I sat on it. That’s when my life ended. He came in and saw me. I nearly died. And THEN he asked me things and I played along, but THEN when he was so close to me, I said nah man. That girl ain’t me. Peace. And he left really sad. And I don’t know what that means.”[/b][/color] She gasped for air. Okay, she was done. Ariana blinked twice again as Truly went on about whatever it was. She hadn’t witnessed this much naivete since the first time she met Henry. Ariana wanted to say something so badly, but she figured that this boy was going to do it for her. Ariana decided it was best for her to refrain from saying anything. The girl only rolled her eyes, and put her head on her hands. Justin was just as dumbfounded, but he saw where she was coming from. He remembered the first time he found someone who had some romantic potential. Needless to say, he blew it. But, it was a valuable experience. He didn’t know what to say, though. He’d never been in [i]this[/i] situation. [color=b57f13][b]“You hella dumb for not doing it when he gave you the chance, dummy. Now you might not get it again. He was into it, you were into it, then you got spooked for some reason that I’m sure is some gay ass girly shit, and you backed down. Now ya gotta figure out a way to do it again. See, ya let yourself get scared and you backed tha fuck down.”[/b][/color] Henry explained, shaking his head. [color=b57f13][b]“You had your shot and it was time for you to take it then you got scared, and now what you gonna do? Not get fucked, that’s what you gonna do.”[/b][/color] [color=ff682f][b]“You make it sound so [i]easy[/i]! It isn’t. I’m not a star like my brother! I’m scared because I want him but he could not want me for too long. Damian has went through girls like they’re clothes. What makes people think he’ll stay with Joy forever? What makes people think he won’t toss her into a laundry basket and put a new shirt on, hm? I need to be perfect for him.”[/b][/color] True hmpfed. [color=b57f13][b]“Because you’re an O’Connor, and it’s in your blood to be worth staying with. Damian just enjoying his years as the king. He tied down now. Dude’s head over heels in love.”[/b][/color] A simple response to a simple question. [color=dodgerblue][b]"Wait… you’re Damian’s sister?!”[/b][/color] Justin cried out. All these CONNECTIONS were fucking with Justin’s head. Everyone was related to everyone. Now he was paranoid about accidentally fucking his second cousin or something like that. The next thing you know, one of the local Asians were also a member of the Green or O’Connor families. [color=ff682f][b]“Mhm, the one and only. Truly Bliss O’Connor. The kid sister no one really knows about. Named after an orgasm.”[/b][/color] She paused for a second, realizing she didn’t even know what that meant. [color=ff682f][b]“What’s an orgasm?”[/b][/color] [color=a187be][b]"YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT AN ORGASM IS?!”[/b][/color] Ariana went up and hugged the child, [color=a187be][b]"You poor child… you… you are such a child.”[/b][/color] At that point, Ariana realized what she was dealing with. This Truly kid… did she grow up sheltered? There was no way she was, since she was Damian’s brother, but at the same time… how did she not know what an orgasm was? And where was her brother? [color=a187be][b]"What are you doing in high school?”[/b][/color] [color=ff682f][b]“That’s easy. Thinking about Wyatt. That’s all I really do. I even became a cheerleader so he can look at me being cute. I sometimes stare at his face and forget what time of day it is. At home, I think about him. Even when I’m talking to my parents, all I do is think about him. So knowing things like [i]orgasms[/i] has not been a priority!”[/b][/color] True didn’t expect Ariana to pull her into an embrace. Why was it bad for her not to know what an orgasm was? [color=a187be][b]"Sweet summer child.”[/b][/color] Once this poor kid experienced one, she’d definitely know why she was named “Truly”. Letting go of the most innocent girl at this school, Ariana sat down. [color=a187be][b]"Just you wait.”[/b][/color] [color=b57f13][b]“Wyatt the stoner dude?”[/b][/color] Henry asked, glancing over at True for verification with a raised eyebrow. [color=ff682f][b]“He is more than just a [i]stoner[/i]. He’s the BEST around. One of a kind! And when he touches me… sparks! Fireworks! Explosions! Ka-boom!”[/b][/color] True couldn’t help but grin foolishly at the thought of him. Oh yeah, she needed to slip a bag of doritos in his bag… she’d have to remember to do that. [color=b57f13][b]“Yeah, yeah, whatever. A Double is the best stoner around. He’s also the only one I have the phone number of, so I just texted him to tell him to let Wyatt know that that redheaded schoolgirl chick wants to meet him Friday night at my dad’s pizza spot to watch Star Wars and make out. You welcome. Tell Mel I love her next time you see her.”[/b][/color] [color=ff682f][b]“YOU WHAT?!”[/b][/color] Oh-my-god. Here came the panic. [color=ff682f][b]“‘Cuse me. I need to call my best friend.”[/b][/color] She stood up and prepared herself to book it, [color=ff682f][b]“It’s Kit, by the way.”[/b][/color] With that, she ran the fuck away. Her funeral was friday. RIP True. [color=b57f13][b]“You’re welcome! Don’t forget to tell your mom I said hi.”[/b][/color] Henry said, letting a sigh out, before he turned to face Ari and Justin. [color=b57f13][b]“Kid is craycray, dudes.”[/b][/color][/indent]
