L O R E L E I
It's been a long day. And I'm sitting with a sketchpad. I know, a writer and an artist? I'm so talented. Of course I'm being sarcastic, I only learned to draw so I could do character design, but I've gotten better over the years. For some ungodly reason, I can't think up a design for the king and queen. Me and Ozzie called and talked about the kingdom's names last night . We decided the main kingdom would be called Endalia, and the neighboring kingdom would be called Masneili. Not a bad start.
Despite our differing opinions we seem to work well together. Though I still can't put my finger on why we haven't started a fight. We haven't yelled at each other like once, what is up with that? I'm deciding not to worry about that now. And we aren't meeting until friday. I'm coming over to her house for a "sleepover" to discuss how we're gonna write everything. We figured it would be the best way to talk about the book. Yay all nighters! I don't know why I agreed to be in a room with her for a night. Sure she's okay to work with but she bothers me. Like that whole drawing thing. She didn't have to be so annoying that day.
The next day
It's 5:30 in the morning, it's rainy, and I'm tired. There is absolutely no reason to dress up today. So sweats and a tank top it is. I still have my usual pink almost everything. The top and shoes are pink, the pants are black, I still wanna look a little bit cute.
I get to school and Ozzie is sitting on a couch in the front lounge area yes, our school has a lounge area) She stands up to greet me.
"Not dressed in your usual cutesy attire I see." she says
"It's rainy and I didnt feel like it. What's it to you?" I walk away and she comes with me
"This is strictly a business type relationship, we are not friends."
"Doesn't mean I can't be nice."
"That wasn't a factor before, why are you so friendly now?"
"Fine,I'll leave you alone, sorry." she walks away
"Wait! I'm sorry. It's early and I wanna be left alone. "
"It's okay. And you look cute today."
"Thank you."
She smiles and walks away
I walk to my class and lay my head down
"You're here early, any reason?" teacher asks
"No." I groan
"Okay." he walks away
I suddenly get inspiration and start sketching the characters for the book. They look very cool. The time is set in a 20th century kingdom. The kingdom is placed on a medium-sized island surrounded by ocean. So I gave them outfits to match. Now that that's done. I should get started on my homework. I actually like doing homework sometimes, it helps pass the time.
Warning: The following scene will contain the F slur, feel free to skip if needed.
It's lunchtime, I have first lunch, I usually eat by myself, it's not bad, I just don't have friends with the same shift as me. Today I brought baked mac and cheese leftover from last night. I'm surprisingly a very good cook. I kinda had to learn once my dad started taking late shifts at work, and I got sick of ordering pizza every night. I go to my usual spot and see Ozzie sitting while someone yells at her.
"Get out of our spot!"
" But I was here first." She says quietly
"Doesn't matter. Move."
"But I like this spot."
"It's our spot!"
"Well technically you can't really claim a lunch table so-"
