Various excerpts and scribbling in a journal that Flynn keeps on his person. He likes to take notes on certain people he deems interesting and even those that he doesn't. There are hundreds of names and analyses inside this notebook that are simply his way of looking at people. He's intrigued by the uniqueness of Caelbury and likes to study the differences in the state of minds of those who are elite and wealthy to those who are not, as well as the oddities within each social group and how these social groups have even come to exist.
He knows a lot about people, even things you really wouldn't want anyone but yourself to know. So, if there is anything in his notebooks that seems too personal for him to know, you really don't want to find out how he figured it out. After all, this man's brain is wired around the human psyche and how it works according to environmental and biological factors in people's lives. He'll actually take various notes and assumptions, since there are a lot of variables when it comes to the human mind, and strike each down once he gets the right amount of evidence required to make such assumptions factual. This is a process that can take a few hours to a few years, depending on the person. He multitasks this and is adept at separating minds and people and connecting them, so that he doesn't lose track of who fits what bill where.
Oedipus Rex:A face of stone holds the most troubling of minds. With eyes that pierce into the soul comes a power of the psyche unmatched even by the human brain. Such a mind only finds satisfaction in the torment of others.Dribble/Notes: Undeniably the most popular and, frankly, the most loved thing inside this entire school. I feel his plans are of a nefarious purpose and he continues to stare at me with those beady eyes, as if provoking me to take action against him. He continues to assert his dominance over myself via sitting upon my papers and staring deeply into my eyes. I fear his potential and I fear what his intentions are. A sinister being with a propensity to mewl for attention, knowing full well his power over the students of my classroom. His number of mindless, hormonal teenagers are growing; I fear the day his wrath falls upon this earth...
Acacia Hawthorne:"Handing people rose colored glasses is a travesty upon humanity. Relishing in their ignorance is a tragedy upon oneself."Dribbling/Sidenotes: Interesting specimen. Eyes are too noticeably pained and vulnerable.
Overbearing brother might be the cause. Further studying shows the need of such a figure in her life. Thus, hypothesis is no longer feasible. Further research shows the amount of children the Hawthorne's have, needs more evidence to connect such distress toward family members. Suicidal tendencies—will bring to brother, Hayden. Digging through interviews and reading through various lines in some of the encounters with her family, I've determined quite a bit about the average Hawthorne life and can safely deduce the reason behind Acacia's currently troubled state. She's having severe identity issues brought on by neglect and lack of approval from very difficult parents. The extreme standards upon which Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne display has all but demoralized and degraded each of their children in some form or fashion, some simply refused to grow from it, Acacia being one such case and Hayden being the polar opposite. A lot of self-realization and restructuring would be the only form of treatment I can see that would at least attempt to heal the grievous wounds she works hard to hide.

Luck gets you so far and is unreliable; the world appreciates the work you do, regardless of the supposed misfortunes that make life dynamic."August Marco:"The syndrome and mindset of a teenager is torn through adult expectations with adolescent limits. Strains the mind and confuses the soul."Dribblings/Notes: Severe inferiority complex; makes up for it through lying about skills and attributes, as well as unnecessary sarcasm. A smart ass, if I ever knew one. Doesn't yet realize that I find it very, very easy to see through. Amusing, but only for a fraction of a second. Fell asleep in class the other day. Drew a Hitler 'stache and compared his views to the topic of subject, as well as his flaws and his grades. Topic of subject: Totalitarian Mindset and Fascism. Bad day to fall asleep in my class. Vice Principal Hawthorne keeps asking me for his grades. I understand his concern. It's hard to get a bad grade in Intro to Philosophy as it requires few small essays and mainly participation. He lacks the will to fully integrate himself into class discussions; I make it known through both Hayden and my subtle quips directed toward him.
Few of my students understand, but that's understandable: my humor isn't of the average individual. Unnecessary notes.
Pushed his "buttons" one day. Found it was hard to tell me what for without downgrading to faulty insults. I don't find pleasure in making students realize their dilemmas, but I can't say I didn't enjoy watching him squirm angrily. Easy to aggravate, easier to frustrate.
Max Wallenberg:"A need to fill the void that boredom so inevitably brings is a need so undeniably filled by a yearning for the exotic, i.e. trouble. Trouble only begets more trouble."Wren Sinclair:"So many faces asking to get lost within one's own mind."Brenden Aldrin:"Upon a bed of wildflower doth grow the sweet nectar of the Gods, tainted by the uninhibited glory of ruth and pity of the sublime human condition."Hayden Hawthorne:"They say 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' Rings true for a man of equal potential for such ruthlessness; pray he who holds such wrath know the consequences of losing the touch of humanity."Flynn Zimmerman:"To know oneself is to be truly knowledgeable of the world around him."Alli Kendrick:"Great feats of strength lie in the smallest of decisions."
