@pockets What sort of ambiance does this park have? Dark or brightly lit? I'm getting devious ideas.

Just popping in to say that I'm now entering finals period. So fun times for me.
Sophia's family is weird.
Retaliating, Sophia had to admit, was not the smartest decision that she had made that day.
She didn't regret it for a second, of course. Teachers tended to do jacksquat when it came to punishing people like Lardo, mostly because whatever punishments they might dole out he likely wouldn't care about. Plus, he had treated an accident like it had been a personal attack. She might have overcompensated, but she had been defending her friend. She refused to feel bad about that. Lardo was the one who had overreacted, and she had to get the message across that that was unequivocally unacceptable. Justice was served, albeit a little over-zealously.
No, the only thing she regretted at all was the fact that her knee now hurt like a bitch, though the paper towel-wrapped icepack did help a little. Who knew Lardo's skull was that thick? She just hoped that she would still be able to walk properly soon, otherwise Coach M would give her a real tongue-lashing. With spit.
As far as she was concerned, Tic-Tac's little after-school field trip was acceptable. Practice would be well over by then, and while she did find it a little odd that the others would be joining them, she didn't think about it too much. Tic-tac was weird, that was well established for her by now.
What did bother her was how the hell he had managed to go from walking behind them to waiting for them in the nurse's office. The only way to get there was through that hallway, and she was sure that he hadn't passed them. The only way it was possible was if he was invisible or teleported, both of which were impossible.
She was in the middle of turning the puzzle over in her mind, when her phone buzzed in her pocket. Repeatedly. Oh joyful family. This is going to be a fun conversation, she thought as she glanced down at the screen.
M: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING YOU DON'T JUST GO AND ATTACK ANOTHER STUDENT I TAUGHT YOU TO BE BETTER THAN THAT ARE YOU OKAY????????X(
A: I am very disappointed in you Sophia. I know that you were just trying to protect your friend but still, it was the wrong thing to do.
U: Did you at least win?
Sophia smirked. Of course that was what her uncle would focus on.
S: I'm okay. My knee hurts like hell, but I still look better than the other guy.
M: WHOOOOOO THAT'S MY GIRL! XP XP XP XP XP
U: Good job Lady.
A: Joseph and Madeline Callahan, do NOT encourage her.
Giggling to herself, Sophia leaned over and rested her head on Richard's shoulder, closing her eyes. Things were going to be fine.

I think I'll play the illness bit by ear.
@Zanavy Speaking of Tyson, when are we going to see him in the character tab? If he's going to be yet another person who's going to potentially be provoking Rebeca, I'm gonna need to see what and why :)
I'm going to be busy most of today getting my last assignment done, but I'll have something up tomorrow.
@Zanavy Other than the G/X fight, is anything else going to happen?

So, suppose you come up with a story setting. It has several elements that you think mesh together really well, you have character traits that you think could produce some interesting situations, and overall you think that you can make some well-thought out stories in this setting.
Now suppose you come across a long-running book series that you have never read, or even really knew existed, but whose setting is nearly identical to what you came up with. And by identical I mean many people would think that you had simply copied this other author.
Would you still use what you came up with, or would you scrap it entirely?

I have a quiz in the morning, but I'll try to have something up afterwards.
I guess I'm just looking for advice. Don't know many people who also write that could help me or really understand.
