Circuits and Secrets

Evelyn Birdie Sangster. 19. College Kid I already know everything about you.

[maddiebensons-deactivated201507]

I’ll definitely do that. Uh well how do I describe Carson? He’s tall, muscular, blonde with these really nice blue eyes. He works at the fire station and wants to become this heroic fire fighter. Used to live in Detriot with his sister Jan before moving here, he never had an easy life. But now he’s here. Oh and I helped him pick out a dog and his name is Gretzky. Okay I’m trusting you to make mine then.

[birdiesangster]

Wow, that's one hell of a description. He sounds like a dreamboat and you look really happy too. You know what you should do is ask him if he has any cool scars or marks on him. He can tell you stories that way and all that. Gretzky the dog. You two sound like you're married already. Easy, I'll get it done in no time. 

[aryana-monroe]

I beg to differ. Just because he didn’t tell you, doesn’t exactly mean he lied to you. See the difference?Come on, Little Bird, I know you’re not that obtuse. No need to pretend. 

I wouldn’t go as far as saying I’m a good person. I think everyone knows that’s not true. But I’m not so horrible that I lead on two guys intentionally. But it does make me happy that you think I am so cruel. It means I’m doing something right. 

[birdiesangster]

Sure, maybe in other friendships, but not for me and Arch. He's always the first person I tell everything to and vice versa. Don't call me Little Bird. 

You're welcome. I mean you do have a reputation to uphold on being a part of the cruelest family this island will ever know. 

[maddiebensons-deactivated201507]

I’ve been told. In that case I’ll just have to catch up so you’re not partying all alone. Carson is my boyfriend which is weird because I wasn’t even planning on a relationship when I moved here. Is it really? I thought it was a whole giant process.

[birdiesangster]

Yes, drink drink drink. Here take a glass enjoy the free alcohol. You have a boyfriend, so we must celebrate by drinking more. Tell me about Monsieur Carson. Depends on who you get it from. Some make it a big process, but a brain like mine can make it easy like simple algebra. 

[aryana-monroe]

Aryana let out an exaggerated sigh, turning so she faced the girl sitting next to her. 

Did he lie, or did he merely omit information? There is a difference. Now, as to why, it’s pretty easy. I was bored, he was bored. So, we entertained each other for a while and it grew from there. Make sense?

If you happen to find him before I do, you can try. Although I’m not sure he’ll believe you. But trust me, telling Kyle is high up on my list of things to do. 

[birdiesangster]

Omitting information is still lying, it's just being sneakier. Boredom creates this. That's what happens? Wow. Oh it makes absolute sense. So much sense. 

Well I will if and when I see him. Doesn't matter if he believes me, at least it'll plant an idea in his head. Right, because you are a good person at the end of the day despite everything. 

[maddiebensons-deactivated201507]

You’re already tipsy I’m guessing? And yes, you’re my heart’s true desire but don’t tell Carson that. Oh…I should get one of those.

[birdiesangster]

You are one smart chick. Yes, I am tipsy which happens when you start drinking earlier than everyone else. Carson? Who's Carson--boytoy? I can make you one, easy peasy. 

[aryana-monroe]

Aryana raised her eyebrows at the hostility coming from the girl, before nodding and tiling her head slightly. 

Ah, so Archer told you. Honestly, I don’t really understand why you’re angry, especially angry enough to deem him your “ex-best friend.”

Rolling her eyes at the bow, she ordered a drink for herself. Can’t I be a good Samaritan and treat someone to a few drinks without wanting something?

[birdiesangster]

She held the glass firmly in her hands, the ice rattling as she directed it towards Aryana. 

Because Archer lied to me. He never lies to me. Why are you dating--Sorry, fucking with him. If I recall correctly you have a boyfriend and one that thinks the world of you. 

Maybe I should tell him what you're up to. 

[maddiebensons-deactivated201507]

Really? You don’t have to do that..plus I’m not even old enough to drink.

[birdiesangster]

I've got money to spend and y.o.u. Maddie Benson, the Scot after my own heart must drink. Ssh, I'm not old enough either. Fake ID. 

[aryana-monroe]

Aryana took a seat next to her, smirking slightly. Oh, no. Put them on my tab, I insist.

[birdiesangster]

Birdie chugged the drink down in a few gulps, not noticing who took the seat beside her until the voice gave her all the answers. 

Well lookie here. The Queen once again, only this time you are the Queen who is fucking my best friend...ex-best friend. 

She stood up, giving a half-hearted bow and plopping right back into her seat. 

What do you want? 

[birdiesangster]

Yes, keep the drinks coming. Put it all on my tab. 

[aimattheheart-archer-blog]

I don’t know what I would call her, Bird. I just… I get it, okay? I understand that you’re mad and you feel betrayed, but you have to understand that I didn’t mean for this to happen. 

[birdiesangster]

No, see people always that but they're just lying. You are in control of your actions, of every movement that your make and you chose to be with her. That's all on you.

[maddiebensons-deactivated201507]

I should do that sooner or later though it is interesting what you learn by just talking to people around here. Nah, I didn’t exactly put that much thought into it to be honest. Really I just thought it sounded funny to call him Lawrence and that’s what I did. My music teacher back in Scotland named his Percival.

[birdiesangster]

Everyone has their own opinion about the island, it does help to get a local's view. Then again the history is pretty cool and you can figure out which kids are part of the original settler business. Lawrence and Percival? They're weird, but they're a good weird. 

[niko-eckel]

Such faith in humankind. 

You’re a business woman now, it’s official?

[birdiesangster]

I lost faith in humankind a long time ago, Niko. 

Yeah, sure. My business is as official as yours. 

[niko-eckel]

Recognition and praise probably shouldn’t be the first reason to help.

What’s kept you up?

[birdiesangster]

Not everyone has pure intentions like you. Some are in it for those things. 

I have a business to run and it takes up a lot of time to gather what my clients need. 

[niko-eckel]

A few times a week, not everyday though. 

How have you been, other than busy?

[birdiesangster]

That's kind of you, pretty sure Karma and Asterians are going to be appreciate it too. 

With the lack of sleep and all, I have to say good...pretty good. 

[niko-eckel]

Let’s hope the karma system is slow at punishing bad deeds.

[birdiesangster]

Definitely, I don't need Karma going after me for being too busy to help out. Have you been helping? 

[niko-eckel]

Have you been volunteering with everyone else?

[birdiesangster]

I haven't, which makes me a terrible human being. 

[aryana-monroe]

I thought my nickname was cute. At least I didn’t call you Big Bird. That would be stupid.

[birdiesangster]

It wasn't. 

They're all stupid.
