      ❝ looks only say so much —- sure, a pretty woman’s a pretty woman, but who’s to say she isn’t EVIL deep down. i think you just talk a lot and hope it makes sense, that’s what i think. no drugs, no dealing. my father feeds his family with something you’re making FUN of here . . help isn’t bad. we’re like . . we’re unique! sort of alternative. bit of old school rock meets new punk. working on it. ❞

     “ All women are EVIL. Have you never heard of Adam and EVE ? Pandora’s box ? I think that’s the most DISRESPECTFUL thing you could have possibly said to me, I choose my words VERY carefully, I assure you that much. Oh ? Who’s your FATHER ? And is he taking patients ? Give me his details and I’ll let you know if my OPINION on therapists changes. Hm. Sounds ... INTERESTING. Time and date ? ”

        “   why don’t we call it a little bit of both,  yeah   ?   plenty of people hate me enough.   ”   they paused in their talking and frowned the slightest.   “    i don’t understand why you’re so curious though.  it’s a bit FREAK-ISH, honestly.   ”   aksel took straightened up and crossed their arms across their chest.   “   everything and nothing are ANTONYMS.  they can’t be the same.  are you trying to be poetic   ?   ”

      Ambiguity was HER game, not theirs. She takes a step forward and cants her head, her countenance expression that of utter INQUISITIVENESS. “ Why do people HATE you ? ” She poses the question with BLUNTNESS, cautious not to provide them with any of her OWN suspicions. “ The pursuit of knowledge is ANYTHING but. ” She states, her disposition CASUAL before she quirks rose lips. “ Course they CAN. Broaden your horizons, Lundqvist. ”

     ❝  —– you know. a buddy . . a dealer. i didn’t wanna assume. not scared of anything apart from everything? wouldn’t that make you a total crybaby? that’s fine by me, emotions are good. i’m guessing. once you let it all out, you’ll feel better: talking is therapy. so is CRYING. all the money in the world can’t heal that. hey, some of us work at blockbuster, still. but if you or your rich & famous friends ever are in the mood for something special, my friends and i — we make music. ❞

       “ Do I LOOK like one ? Not that dealers have a particular LOOK, but I do like my fashion to speak VOLUMES about myself, and it seems like it’s speaking PAGES. I don’t CRY, so no, but I don’t think there’s anything WRONG with feeling everything to it’s fullest intensity. Ah, THERAPY ! I’ve heard it works wonder for those playing PRETEND: actors, students, those sort. Those who are already LIVING their truth, well I’m not so sure. I don’t have friends, they’re back in NEW YORK along with all the other CUNTS ! But I’ll come, I like MUSIC. What KIND of music do you play ? ”

       ❝yeah, tell that to my mom —– i’d get murdered about three times, possibly. listen, i’m not judging you if you’re one of THOSE . . but i’m not here to buy, you know. i don’t even have the money for that, so . . just, drop it. is that why you’re so scared of the cops? been busted before? ❞

      “ I’m NOT offering ! Unless you’re INTERESTED. How OLD are you anyways ? Besides, what do you mean by one of THOSE ? You hardly even KNOW me, if you did you’d know that I’m not scared of ANYTHING, apart from EVERYTHING. Plus I’m CAREFUL, and rich enough to NEVER be busted.”

     ❝ no —- why would i want it to die? that’s sociopathic, i’m sure. i just don’t know what it was. looked kind of odd. like the things you see in movies, two animals morphed into one, wobbly thing. i’m not on drugs or anything ; i’m just telling it like it is. police are here to help, aren’t they? ❞

      “ Well that’s what the cops will do to it if you were to lead them to the POOR thing ! Police are here to help HUMANS, and while I do love a good bloody STEAK, I do detest the thought of one of those DONUT-MUNCHING coppers using a LOST animal as SHOOTING practice. I never accused you of such, though drugs can be a gateway to the TRUTH. ”

          they perform a one shouldered shrug.   “   fine,  i guess i have faith that i’ll die a gruesome death.  does that make you feel any better,  hearing that i have some sort of faith or some shit   ?   ”   aksel snorted,  making eye contact with her.   “   i also believe in aliens. what about you   ?   anything you’ve got this faith in   ?   ”

        If she wasn’t before, the mention of DEATH has got her positively INTRIGUED. “ And why is that ? A COMEUPPANCE of sorts ? Or just a GUT feeling ? ” Her onslaught of questions is accompanied with an expression of complete INVESTMENT, viridescent hues NEVER straying once. “ I have faith in EVERYTHING. Everything and nothing at all. They’re really one in the SAME, aren’t they ? ”

❛ YEAH, I do. I’d like to see mother nature invent the microwave. That bitch just made FIRE. Big woop. Takes longer. ❜

        “ We wouldn’t have been able to invent the MICROWAVE if we didn’t have FIRE first. I do love the PASSION though, even if it will end with you being invariably CURSED. ”

    ❝ don’t think i can follow your logic —– it was an animal. there’s no deeper meaning to an animal. i better report it to the police, you never KNOW around here. ❞

     “ There’s a DEEPER meaning to EVERYTHING, Holden. Got a case of the HALLOWEEN spooks ? What are the POLICE gonna do ? Do you want the animal to DIE ? ”

OWEN

“ i feel so lucky ” chuckles falling from his lips “ i wouldn’t want you to get FIRED because of me, but if you’re sure you want to stay with this lamer, let’s get going THEN.” his usual positivity showing with the constant smile he was wearing. grabbing his coat with one hand and his bag with the other. “ school’s cafeteria or do we want to a c t u a l l y enjoy the food?” he asked, an eyebrow raised as they made their way out of the classroom. 

      “ Lamer ? Sounds like an ELEMENTARY school insult, I like it. Though I’m not quite sure I BELIEVE it. “Soft giggles fall from ROSY lips, the compliment nothing less than SINCERE even if she won’t ELABORATE. “ That’s one thing I definitely DON’T miss about college. Though I must admit my DIET was primarily COFFEE back then. ” Among other substances. “ Now, it’s RED VELVET CUPCAKES from Katie’s. Not really a lunch, but certainly DELICIOUS. ”

OWEN

“at least i’m good at something ! not everyone can say that right? it’s definitely the first one.” owen commented shaking his head at her words. “ are you busy right now? this as my l a s t class so we can go grab a bite. if you have nothing BETTER to do, of course” 

     “ Very few can, in fact. Consider yourself one of the LUCKY ones. ” She confirms with a firm NOD. Any seriousness that the assertion CLAIMS is counterpoised with her BEAMING smile, LAUGH LINES and all. “ A bite sounds WONDERFUL. Plus work can always wait when I’m GRACED with your company. ” Despite the air of PURPOSE she unconsciously wore, she’d always worked WITH time instead of against it, never the one for being RUSHED.

    ❝ what made in an —— well, maybe the fact that it looked like one. pretty sure it had a tail. last time i checked humans don’t, but i could be wrong, here. ❞

     “ Okay, GOOD. So what made it NOT one. Unless your use of the word KINDA was MISPLACED ? ”

“ you know what i think? i think you’ve read one too many sylvia plath books and expect far too much from a society that prides themselves in the phrase ‘ sex sells. ’ i appreciate the effort of trying to look for something in everything, but all that glitters isn’t gold, friend. ”

        “ You’re familiar with her then ? She was nothing less than REPRESSED at the time of writing, when her longing was finally SATIATED, and that’s insinuating that it EVER was, it’s not surprising that she did HYPERFIXATE. Besides, I’d argue that men are FAR more affected by SEX than ANYONE gives them credit for. Sure, all that glitters isn’t gold, but it still GLITTERS. ”

“SO, how did you find the class? not too difficult?” owen laughed before adding “but for real, i hope you didn’t find it too boring.” 

     “ Nothing I couldn’t HANDLE, and definitely NOT boring. You’re good, REALLY good. Passionate, and I think the kids can TELL. That, or they’re just enamoured by your CHARMING good looks. ”

❛ She can fuck herself because she isn’t benevolent! Don’t chicken and egg this shit, Analeigh, she was being a dick to humankind before I came along and hated on her stupid poison ivy. We own the world, she should be glad we didn’t go all scorched earth in, like, whatever B.C. ❜

      “ I couldn’t CHICKEN and EGG it even if I tried ! She doesn’t exist BECAUSE of us, but we exist because of HER. You really think we OWN the world ? ”

“ is meaningless sex such a bad thing? if i wanted a deep connection i’d be in a relationship; sex is easy, emotions aren’t –– separate the two & you’ve got yourself a good time. no, nor do i look for my mother in the women i take to bed. more often than not, i don’t look for anything other than attraction. ”

      “ Meaningless sex doesn’t EXIST. Maybe you think it does but the whole reasoning behind the ENDEAVOUR holds meaning in itself. You might have sex to GET OFF, sure, and perhaps a part of you hopes it will be something MORE. Meaning. Or, perhaps your PERFECTLY content with the complete DETACHMENT, and you wonder WHY. Meaning. It’s NEVER just sex. ”
