Era:The Story of a Futuristic Cahill/Vesper World
*sighs* Wouldn't it be something if there was a world without wars? Without the fight between Cahills and Vespers, where Cahills and Vespers lived in harmony? Well, that's just a wonderful dream...
Or is it? This dream comes true in this fanfic! Era takes place in the year 5000, a futuristic world/year. By this time, the Cahills and Vespers have tired of the fighting, and have lived 3000 years without anymore wars. And they have changed human history.
The Ekats have invented all of the futuristic things that we can only dream of: invisibility, time travel, ESP, flying cars, multi-terrain trucks, mind erasing, etc. The Janus have innovated art as we know it: designing outrageous looking building, recreating the Twin Towers, and completely changing pop culture. (For you JB and MC haters, there are no more washed out bad singers who are famous anymore!) The Lucians have led the world, occupying presidential jobs in many different countries. The Tomas have dominated sporting events, trekking to outlandish places, setting world records, and even founding a new country in Antarctica, Panem. (Recognize the THG reference? I want to be Katniss for Halloween!) The Madrigals have secured world peace; there have been no wars since the wars in the Middle East have ceased. And the Vespers have become downrigfht criminals, but have ceased their ways- so far.
Era is about the life of the Cahill and Vesper children during this period. But there is an unrest between the rivals. Something is stirring. An old rivalry is uncovered from a Madrigal library, the only ones who have kept the previous war from the new generation...and the fight begins.
Will there ever be a thing called peace? Or will life be destroyed as we know it? And will the Cahills and Vespers finally come out of the shadows and reveal themselves to the world? Only we Cahills can find out, in this fanfic.
Wow, that was very dramatic. Anyway, I have one character named Wren Harding, but have writers block for the rest! Wren is a Madrigal. If you are interested in this fanfic, please submit a charrie for me to use. Thank you.

Charrie is just a shortened version of character! To sign up (this'll be like the sims on THG board), just fill out the character form. The usual.

No, it's enough! Need really detailed characters to know what to work with. So now there's Wren and Isis...I'll make up a few more if no one else posts for a week. Then I'll post them on Saturday and write the first chapter.

Are we still going to do the Cahill Squad roleplay, because I already wrote my POV on the 'The Cahill Squad Meet here and START NOW' I'm sure the other members who signed up will come eventually once they see your post. We just have to be patient.

Okay, charrie rollcall before I begin!
Brooke Wren Harding (prefers Wren)
Isis Calista Halkias
Gary Cahill-Vesper
Anastasia Baker
Adrienne Cahill
I'll focus on each Cahill/Vesper in each chapter, from their perspective. I might have to change the branch of some of them though, I want to use one from each branch. And I'll create two Vesper charries, these ones:
Name: Damion (NOT the original Damien) Castellano
Age: 15
Gender: Boy
Branch or Family: Vesper
Appearance: Spiky black hair, olive complexion, dark eyes. All the Vesper girls crush on him, and maybe even a certain Cahill girl who shall remain nameless for now?
Personality: He's pretty sarcastic, and is playful. But he has this horrible dark side. He's had a history of getting people in the hospital, and even killing a few people who took a step out of line. You better watch it, or else Damion strikes. He's only loyal to the Vespers when the fight breaks out, obviously.
Likes: machine guns, fighting, wrestling, sports, Vespers, a certain girl who shall remain nameless.
Dislikes: Cahills (except for one), having to compromise, aaaaaanndddd...nature. He HATES nature.
Strengths: He has massive strength, and is an extremely good fighter.
Weaknesses: He uses too much brute strength, and doesn't know how to control his strength. Like Admiral Zhao in Avatar: TLA.
Name: Aislyn Marx
Age: 14
Gender: Girl
Branch or Family: Vesper
Appearance: Aislyn has curly brown hair, green eyes, and light skin.
Personality: Aislyn is known to hurt anyone who hurts anyone she loves. (Confusing much? :)) Aislyn also doesn't like getting hurt herself. She has a bad girl reputation, and people run away from her when they see her. And Aislyn somehow lives for this. She's a natural bully, and is extremely vengeful. Watch out for her.
Likes: her Vesper friends, practicing karate on her enemies, revenge, reality TV shows that are disturbing
Dislikes: Cahill enemies, getting hurt or tortured, seeing her friends get hurt or tortured
Strengths: Fighting, naturally. And impressive use of technology.
Weaknesses: Her friends and boyfriend can be used against her.
Backstory: Aislyn actually comes from a loving family who spoils her rotten. I'm not kidding, they think she's a perfect little angel. Her parents are Colin and Sofia, and her siblings are Lisel, 17, and Mark, 13. She is also currently in a relationship with Damion, but she fears that he's got his eyes on someone else and will do anything to keep Damion-even kill.
And everyone will live somewhat close to each other in Caper Falls, the idyllic town where this starts.

@AgentBreaking Sure! Adrienne can be the Cahill girl. It'll kind of be like a tragic Vuliette thing. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's Juliette and Vick from CBS, Vick's a Vesper, Juliette is an Ekat. And guys, wait a little bit. I want the first chapter to be good.

Here I go! CHAPTER ONE EVERYBODY!!!!!!
Chapter One: A Strange Dream
Wren
I walk out of the house. It's a dark and gloomy night. I'm sleepwalking. Suddenly, I hear a crash, and I snap awake. I run to Aislyn's house. I see Isis, Gary, Anastasia, Adrienne, Damion, Jasmine, and Aislyn. And a raging fire. Aislyn has this...this smirk on her face. Gary is terrified.
"Please don't make me choose," he begs Aislyn.
Aislyn smiles nastily.
"Choose," she smiles sweetly. "A loser Cahill...or a powerful Vesper."
"Okay, that just about does it!" Adrienne snaps, and she starts towards Aislyn. Her face clouds over when she sees Damion protectively holds Aislyn. I can almost hear her heart drop.
"Don't," Isis holds her back. "Just walk away."
"Just walk away from a fire!" Aislyn laughs.
Then Gary starts to run. Aislyn and Damion's eyes narrow.
"I guess you have chosen their side," Aislyn says. "And you will pay!"
It echoes. Pay..pay...pay...pay....I watch in horror from Aislyn's roof.
I quickly snap awake. I take short, jagged breaths. What a terrible nightmare! And all of my friends and enemies were there...
This isn't the first time I've had dreams like this. Just last night, I dreamed about finding a hidden libaray that showed that Cahills and Vespers were enemies, back in the 2000s. That was like, 3 milleniums ago. Things must have changed since then. Because I was trying to get closer to Aislyn, who seemed like a tough girl, but really was protective of her friends. Damion, who had always seemed okay, but definitely not the usual kind of person that I'd be friends with. And my best friends were there. Isis, Anastasia, Adrienne, Gary, and Jasmine had been there, too. And..that part about Adrienne's heart dropping? What the heck does that mean? Maybe there's something that I've never seen before about her...
But what am I, a pyschic? I'm not a physchic, I'm not a prophet, I'm not a Seer. What could these dreams possibly mean. Something, I can tell. Because I have this feeling that I have to find something. Somewhere...

Chapter Two
Isis
At school today, Wren rushes up to me. She looks like she's just run a marathon.
"Whoah, Wren," I say amusedly. "What's up?"
"You-you won't-you won't believe what I dreamt about last night," Wren says breathlessly.
She looks towards that rest of our gang. Adrienne, Gary, Anastasia, and Jasmine. "I have to tell everyone in the group."
We quickly run over to our usual table in the Caper Falls High School cafeteria. It's next to the cactus, and the Texas poster, and a picture of the current governor of Texas, Marco Patrick. I really have no idea why we chose this spot. I guess we were just called to it. Because of the Cahills who made it. The Janus have really branched out, I had never thought that cowboys and the sort would come back, ever. And the cactus had come from a new desert that the Tomas had discovered, Solitudo. The Ekats had made the Tomas's dreams come true, inventing the DesertLandscaper5000, something that had helped the bond between the branches. I had always heard of the old rivalry. Now, milleniums after that rivalry started, they have started to make nice. Of course, the Madrigals helped out there, too...And Marco Patrick's a Lucian. It's a part of all five branches, which definitely fits us.
Well, not exactly. Wren's a part-Madrigal, part-Janus, part-Lucian, Adrienne's all five branches, Gary's all five branches and a Vesper, Anastasia is a Madrigal but has blood from all five bracnhes and Vesper, and Jasmine is the only normal one. Jasmine's a Janus. Together, we're unstoppable. But maybe not entirely. Aislyn and Damion are the powerhouse couple of Caper Falls High, and they also happen to be Vespers. Everyone in school treats this like it's no problem, but I find it revolting. Aislyn's been suspended five times this semester, and it's the fifth week of school, and Damion...I think he's on drugs. That new kind, janaoi. You're supposed to smoke it like that old craze, tobacco.
I see him smoking it as I sit down with Wren. I put down my plate of enchiladas, and say, "Wren's got something important to say."
"I definitely do," she says worriedly. "Well, you remember that weird library dream, right?"
"How could we forget?" Anastasia rolls her eyes. "You went on and on about how weird it was, and what it could possibly mean, and-"
"Yeah, yeah, we get it, Annie," Gary laughs playfully.
"Don't call me Annie! I hate that nickname!" Anastasia retorts.
Everyone laughs. We started calling Anastasia "Annie" for a short time last semester, in Caper Falls Junior High. That was we met Gary for the first time, he skipped seventh grade, and he accidentally called Anastasia "Annie". But obviously, Anastasia hated it, and she kept trying to tell us to stop calling her that. It died down over the summer, but it's started up again.
"Hey, Annie," Damion drawls as he comes over.
I see Adrienne flinch, and start to blush. What was the matter with her? He wasn't talking about her. He was talking about Anastasia.
"Shut up, Demon," Anastasia retorts.
That's always a good comeback, because it's Damion's old nickname from back in fifth grade. Oh, those were good times. Damion flinches, and Aislyn follows behind him.
"Hey, Cahills, what's up today?"
She smiles like she's all innocent. Then she stares hard at Adrienne, who gulps. Then they walk away.
"I hate it that they always act so darn mysterious. Why so serious? Why so obsessed? Money doesn't buy you happiness-"
"Hey, Jassy, word of advice? Never do that again," Wren says, and we laugh again.
"Yeah, Jasmine, that's so 2011," I put in.
Adrienne cuts in, "They aren't that bad," she says.
"Says you, you're still 13," Wren says.
"Says you, I'm turning 14 tomorrow!" Adrienne says back.
Adrienne's the youngest in the grade, having made the cutoff (her birthday is October 1st-the exact day). And Gary's so smart that he skipped eighth grade and went right on to high school.
We laugh and talk for a while. At some points, I catch Adrienne wandering into space. Really, what was the matter with her? I wonder...
Isis
At school today, Wren rushes up to me. She looks like she's just run a marathon.
"Whoah, Wren," I say amusedly. "What's up?"
"You-you won't-you won't believe what I dreamt about last night," Wren says breathlessly.
She looks towards that rest of our gang. Adrienne, Gary, Anastasia, and Jasmine. "I have to tell everyone in the group."
We quickly run over to our usual table in the Caper Falls High School cafeteria. It's next to the cactus, and the Texas poster, and a picture of the current governor of Texas, Marco Patrick. I really have no idea why we chose this spot. I guess we were just called to it. Because of the Cahills who made it. The Janus have really branched out, I had never thought that cowboys and the sort would come back, ever. And the cactus had come from a new desert that the Tomas had discovered, Solitudo. The Ekats had made the Tomas's dreams come true, inventing the DesertLandscaper5000, something that had helped the bond between the branches. I had always heard of the old rivalry. Now, milleniums after that rivalry started, they have started to make nice. Of course, the Madrigals helped out there, too...And Marco Patrick's a Lucian. It's a part of all five branches, which definitely fits us.
Well, not exactly. Wren's a part-Madrigal, part-Janus, part-Lucian, Adrienne's all five branches, Gary's all five branches and a Vesper, Anastasia is a Madrigal but has blood from all five bracnhes and Vesper, and Jasmine is the only normal one. Jasmine's a Janus. Together, we're unstoppable. But maybe not entirely. Aislyn and Damion are the powerhouse couple of Caper Falls High, and they also happen to be Vespers. Everyone in school treats this like it's no problem, but I find it revolting. Aislyn's been suspended five times this semester, and it's the fifth week of school, and Damion...I think he's on drugs. That new kind, janaoi. You're supposed to smoke it like that old craze, tobacco.
I see him smoking it as I sit down with Wren. I put down my plate of enchiladas, and say, "Wren's got something important to say."
"I definitely do," she says worriedly. "Well, you remember that weird library dream, right?"
"How could we forget?" Anastasia rolls her eyes. "You went on and on about how weird it was, and what it could possibly mean, and-"
"Yeah, yeah, we get it, Annie," Gary laughs playfully.
"Don't call me Annie! I hate that nickname!" Anastasia retorts.
Everyone laughs. We started calling Anastasia "Annie" for a short time last semester, in Caper Falls Junior High. That was we met Gary for the first time, he skipped seventh grade, and he accidentally called Anastasia "Annie". But obviously, Anastasia hated it, and she kept trying to tell us to stop calling her that. It died down over the summer, but it's started up again.
"Hey, Annie," Damion drawls as he comes over.
I see Adrienne flinch, and start to blush. What was the matter with her? He wasn't talking about her. He was talking about Anastasia.
"Shut up, Demon," Anastasia retorts.
That's always a good comeback, because it's Damion's old nickname from back in fifth grade. Oh, those were good times. Damion flinches, and Aislyn follows behind him.
"Hey, Cahills, what's up today?"
She smiles like she's all innocent. Then she stares hard at Adrienne, who gulps. Then they walk away.
"I hate it that they always act so darn mysterious. Why so serious? Why so obsessed? Money doesn't buy you happiness-"
"Hey, Jassy, word of advice? Never do that again," Wren says, and we laugh again.

Era, my new fanfic, coming soon to the Cahill Command Messsage Board...
Chapter Three: Turning Over
Adrienne
I feel strange as I walk out of the lunchroom. My friends just don't seem to understand. I need to talk to someone about Damion. The guidance counselor? Who talks to a computer about their problems? The principal? Why would she listen to me? My mom? Definitely not. She only likes to talk about her work, and how these poor people have more problems than us and blah blah blah. The only person who really understands me these days in Anastasia. I spilled my guts to her over the summer about the summer fling with Jason. It wasn't meant to be, really. But he still broke my heart. And now Damion's going to, too. I decide that I'd talk to Anastasia after school.
Honors Math can't go by fast enough. The Ekat teacher, Mr. Benton, drones on and on about variables and vectors and scalars but I don't sink in a single word of the lesson. Literature is just as bad. I usually wouldn't expect a Janus to be boring, they are usually quite entertaining, but Mrs. Phillips goes on and on about Shakespeare and I can't focus on anything. I spend all my time in these boring classes thinking about Damion. Perfect, handsome, wonderful Damion...
Finally, the bell rings. I can't get out of the classroom fast enough. I run to my locker, take out all the books that I need for homework, and race to the bus. Anastasia lives nearby me, on the same street, only a few house down and across. She has saved a seat for me and I sit down.
"So, what's new, Adrienne?" she asks as the flying bus takes off. The foldable wings zoom out and fly us to the sky. It's so much more faster than the buses we used to have.
"Oh, something. I'll tell you when we reach my house," I say.
My house is closer on the fly route than Anastasia's.
"Okay," Anastasia says, and a few seconds later, the bus flyer yells, "54 Bloomfield Road!"
The doors swing out and parachutes are given to us, the usual process. We put them on and jump. The roof of my house is not very high, like certain other people's houses. *cough*Aislyn*cough* After a brief fall, we land on the roof and slide down. I open the door with the voice password that only recognizes someone from our family speaking, ("Love's Labour's Finally Won") and we walk into the house.
I lead Anastasia up to my room. Finally, I can talk to someone about Damion. I gush on and on about how perfect he is, how wonderful and smart and talented and kind he is, well, to me, anyway. Anastasia is silent for a while, then says this.
"Adrienne, I'm not sure how you're going to take this. Okay, here I go: Adrienne, Damion's a Vesper. You're a Cahill. I'm just not sure how this is going to work out. He might break your heart like Jason did. I'm just worried for you, Adrienne. I don't want you to break down like you did this summer. That was just awful, to see you break down and sob like that. I don't want you to have to go through that again."
"Anastasia," I say softly. Anastasia had always cared for me. She was, literally, my best friend. Out of everyone, Isis, Wren, Jasmine, Gary-she was the one who was always there for me.
"Anastasia, I really like him. How can I let go of my feelings?" I say, conflicted.
"I guess you could," Anastasia says. "I'm just warning you, though...he could be bad news."

You can make a boy charrie? Why not? But please make it a Vesper, as at the moment there are more Cahills (6) than Vespers (2 1/6, as Gary is 1/6).

Wow- that is amazing!!!! I wish I could write something like that- I write more of realistic fiction. But you should SO talk to an agent after you finish- I don't like many books about the future, but that intro TOTALLY got me hooked!!!

a boy Vesper? hmm...i'm not very good at creating boy kontrabidas (antagonists), but here goes! feel free to change anything you 'd like! :)
Name: Luke (somebody pls think of a last name, i suck at last names)
Branch: Vesper
Skills: impossibly accurate aim (be careful if he's holding a knife), code cracking, martial arts, mixing up poisons (be VERY careful if you're with him during science class!), and taking apart a machine - then putting it back together again (watch where you're keeping your gadgets)
History: Even though in records he's a full-blooded Vesper, he also actually has Lucian blood (that explains all the poisons...). If you can take down accurate records through a period of 3000 years, then he ought to congratulate you. his files of being related to the Cahills were completely destroyed...except one. His parents are one of the Vesper high-shots and they expect him to take after his ruthless, older brother: (somebody please think of a scary name. i'm having writer's block again)
Looks: jet black hair, eyes the color of storm clouds, pale skin (think vampire pale - or if anybody here is reading it - think Artemis Fowl pale :D)
Personality: Yes, he's a Vesper, but he doesn't hate Cahills so much. I guess you could say he's wary of them, and he'll only strike if you've hurt the people who are important to him. He's patient and quiet. Though maybe one of the reasons he doesn't hate Cahills so much (other than being related to them), is because of a certain feisty (*hint*hint* XD) strawberry-haired lab partner he's a bit interested in (though miss feisty is completely oblivious to this fact).
Likes: people who don't bother him (you guessed right, he's a loner), feisty lab partner
Dislikes: arrogant people who don't think before they act
~
oh, and if it helps, i'll post Anastasia's likes and dislikes. i didn't post one when i passed my charrie bio because i wasn't thinking XD
Anastasia's...
Likes: loyal friends, nature, and animals (she sometimes does volunteering)
Dislikes: boys (unless you've proven to be a worthy friend), Vespers, people who hurt her friends and family (is it okay to say that she punched the Jason guy after he broke Adrienne's heart? its just that she doesn't do girly slaps. punching a brick wall is more her speed.)

IvyStorm, what about Kontrabidas? LOL, just thinking about it, because obviously, he is one, and Kontrabidas sounds...I don't know, it sounds like a good Vesper last name! And as for the brother, hmm...Scorpius or Draco, like in Harry Potter?

Chapter Four: The New Teens on the Block
Anastasia
I walk out of Adrienne's house feeling just okay. I really did not approve of her crush on Damion, but she's my best friend, so...I guess I should feel happy for her. BUT HE'S A VESPER! That thought plagues me for the few houses that I have to pass on the way to mine.
I reach my house. My house is just as futuristic as everyone else's. It has a curvy structure, a huge window in the shape of a shadow, and a Cahill crest on our mailbox. Practically everyone in the town is either a Cahill or Vesper, and the crests signify which is which. And if they're not Cahills or Vespers...well, they get out of town pretty quickly. I decide to take the mail out of the mailbox, and I am surprised to find a letter for me. I never really get letters, I always get email, either viral brain videos, chain mail, spam, and actual emails. The letters are usually bills. I open it up. It simply says this:
Anastasia, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while. Meet me in two days at the Madrigal library. You'll know who I am.
What the heck? Who was this person? And..the Madrigal library. Kind of strange. I shrug it off and accidentally bump into a bunch of other teens who I've never seen before. Or...maybe I have. The boy looks awfully familiar...
"Oh, sorry," one of the girls gasps.
"Hi," she says. "I'm Alafara, this is Marissa and Luke. Marissa and I are new to Caper Falls. I just moved here from India, and we're all 16."
Luke. So that is his name. He's my lab partner! But he rarely talks to me, so I don't really think about him. The truth is, I don't really think about boys unless they're good friends of mine. At the moment, the only boy I actually like as a person is Gary, because we've been friends since middle school. But really...
"Alafara, hmmm...You seem pretty talkative for a 16-year-old. I'm 14," I respond.
"Yeah, I get that a lot," Alafara says sheepishly. "I also get 'extremely feisty,' 'camera,' and 'smarty-pants.'"
"Yeah, okay, I gotta get back inside," I say quickly, rushing into my house.
They are just a bunch of strange staulkers*****, I think as I pull out my new laptop. I hit the chat button, and request Wren, Isis, Adrienne, Jasmine, and Gary. Seconds later, WrenBird, IsisofEgypt, DAdrienne, Jademin, and GaryCV pop up.
Here's a transcript of our chat:
FeistyA: How r u guys? Have 2 tell u guys somethin.
WrenBird: Fire away.
IsisofEgypt: What she said.
FeistyA: A certain note from a certain somone. And a certain group of annoying new girls.
GaryCV: New girls?
Jademin: I know what ur thinkng, Gary, don't even try it.
GaryCV: Gee, I'm sorry.
DAdrienne: Guys, let Anastasia continue.
FeistyA: Thx Adrienne. Anyway, there are a bunch on new girls on our block who I ran into. They're Alafara and Marissa. And they also happened to be there with my science lab partner.
IsisofEgypt: Who's the lab partner's name again? Lee?
FeistyA: Luke. He doesn't talk much. Also, I got a letter from someone saying to meet them at the Madrigal librart in two days, right after school. Why the M library?
WrenBird: Well, maybe the guy's a Madrigal.
GaryCV: But why would someone tell Annie to go to a library? Not my idea of a perfect date.
FeistyA: DON'T CALL ME ANNIE FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!
GaryCV: Sorry.
DAdrienne: Maybe that was a love letter.
FeistyA: Love letter? From who?
DAdrienne: Oh, I don't know. Maybe someone else who you never gave a second thought to? *hint hint*
FeistyA: What's the *hint hint* for?
Jademin: WHEN WE'RE DONE TALKING ABOUT ANASTASIA'S LOVE LIFE!
FeistyA: It's NOY my love life.
WrenBird: LOL. NOY!
FeistyA: Meant to say NOT! Wren!
IsisofEgypt: Guys, why don't we just discuss the girls and how to get rid of them.
WrenBird: NO!
DAdrienne: NO!
FeistyA: NO!
Jademin: YES!
GaryCV: YES! I mean no!
Jademin: And that's my new philosophy!
WrenBird: *is about to throttle Jasmine*
Jademin: SORRY! Continue!
FeistyA: I guess I should just go. Can u guys come with me? Don't want 2 be alone.
IsisofEgypt: We'll be ur bodyguards if he turns out to be a maniac.
WrenBird: ISIS! Anything the guy says, Anastasia will think he's a maniac.
FeistyA: *rolls eyes*
(FeistyA has signed off.)
*****Is that how you spell staulkers? Or do I take away the u? Idk how to spell it so...

"Hi," she says. "I'm Alafara, this is Marissa and Luke. Marissa and I are new to Caper Falls. I just moved here from India, and we're all 16."
Luke. So that is his name. He's my lab partner! But he rarely talks to me, so I don't really think about him. The truth is, I don't really think about boys unless they're good friends of mine. At the moment, the only boy I actually like as a person is Gary, because we've been friends since middle school. But really...
"Alafara, hmmm...You seem pretty talkative for a 16-year-old. I'm 14," I respond.
"Yeah, I get that a lot," Alafara says sheepishly. "I also get 'extremely feisty,' 'camera,' and 'smarty-pants.'"
"Yeah, okay, I gotta get back inside," I say quickly, rushing into my house.
They are just a bunch of strange staulkers*****, I think as I pull out my new laptop. I hit the chat button, and request Wren, Isis, Adrienne, Jasmine, and Gary. Seconds later, WrenBird, IsisofEgypt, DAdrienne, Jademin, and GaryCV pop up.
Here's a transcript of our chat:
FeistyA: How r u guys? Have 2 tell u guys somethin.
WrenBird: Fire away.
IsisofEgypt: What she said.
FeistyA: A certain note from a certain somone. And a certain group of annoying new girls.
GaryCV: New girls?
Jademin: I know what ur thinkng, Gary, don't even try it.
GaryCV: Gee, I'm sorry.
DAdrienne: Guys, let Anastasia continue.
FeistyA: Thx Adrienne. Anyway, there are a bunch on new girls on our block who I ran into. They're Alafara and Marissa. And they also happened to be there with my science lab partner.
IsisofEgypt: Who's the lab partner's name again? Lee?
FeistyA: Luke. He doesn't talk much. Also, I got a letter from someone saying to meet them at the Madrigal librart in two days, right after school. Why the M library?
WrenBird: Well, maybe the guy's a Madrigal.
GaryCV: But why would someone tell Annie to go to a library? Not my idea of a perfect date.
FeistyA: DON'T CALL ME ANNIE FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!
GaryCV: Sorry.
DAdrienne: Maybe that was a love letter.
FeistyA: Love letter? From who?
DAdrienne: Oh, I don't know. Maybe someone else who you never gave a second thought to? *hint hint*
FeistyA: What's the *hint hint* for?
Jademin: WHEN WE'RE DONE TALKING ABOUT ANASTASIA'S LOVE LIFE!
FeistyA: It's NOY my love life.
WrenBird: LOL. NOY!
FeistyA: Meant to say NOT! Wren!
IsisofEgypt: Guys, why don't we just discuss the girls and how to get rid of them.
WrenBird: NO!
DAdrienne: NO!
FeistyA: NO!
Jademin: YES!
GaryCV: YES! I mean no!
Jademin: And that's my new philosophy!
WrenBird: *is about to throttle Jasmine*
Jademin: SORRY! Continue!
FeistyA: I guess I should just go. Can u guys come with me? Don't want 2 be alone.
IsisofEgypt: We'll be ur bodyguards if he turns out to be a maniac.
WrenBird: ISIS! Anything the guy says, Anastasia will think he's a maniac.
FeistyA: *rolls eyes*
(FeistyA has signed off.)
*****Is that how you spell staulkers? Or do I take away the u? Idk how to spell it so...
There is no future, there is no past, I live this moment as my last.
