Float like a butterfly

Ebb Humbug. Freshman. 15. Don't you dare call me cute.

[princeton-isohso-charming]

Yeah, sure. Want any ketchup or mustard? 

[ebbjustflows]

Are you serious? You'd actually do that for me? I'm touched. [she smiles] Here, I'll go with you. Unless you don't want me to come along.

[lillian-hardback]

You will get it. You’ll see. Just try one more time. 

[ebbjustflows]

I honestly doubt it. I'm shit at math, Lil, why do you bother tutoring me?

[ofsundrops]

Well, you might fall. 

[ebbjustflows]

I'm not gonna fall, that's stupid. What are you, my mother?

[naomi-blower]

[Naomi is sitting atop a small floating device in the middle of the lake franticly waving at the shore.] Hello!!! Please, can someone help me! [Despite growing up in the ocean, she could never quite master swimming with her new legs]

[ebbjustflows]

[Ebb grumbles with frustration, then calls to Naomi] Hold on a second, I'm coming [She dives into the water, slicing through the water towards Naomi smoothly until she reaches the floating device, wrapping her hand around the side as she treads water.] You ready to get back to shore?

[ofsundrops]

That doesn’t look very safe. 

[ofsundrops]

[ebbjustflows]

[She rolls her eyes from her seat on the roof of the squat janitor's shack] Who gives a shit?

[lillian-hardback]

No, you can only use Kinematics equations if an object possess constant acceleration. 

[lillian-hardback]

[ebbjustflows]

I... I just don't fucking get it, okay? You're wasting your time.

[princeton-isohso-charming]

How can I help you?

[ebbjustflows]

Can you be my best friend ever and get me some curly fries?

[carriexlumos]

What the hell–

That is a really nice necklace.

[ebbjustflows]

It is, isn't it?

[She wipes the blood from the sizable scrape on her arm away, standing up] Sorry to shock you, I tripped.

[lapetiteblanche-blog]

Sorry, I can be a klutz. But here, have mine.

[ebbjustflows]

..Yeah, I'll bet. Thanks.

[lapetiteblanche-blog]

Look what I go—Nevermind.

[ebbjustflows]

Nice job. 

[alena--king-blog]

[sits on the edge of the lake, perusing a book that is sat on her lap]

[alena--king-blog]

[ebbjustflows]

[Ebb sits down in the almost vacant area, looking for a place to read her book. As she sits down in her usual spot, she notes the girl sitting right next to her. Debating for a moment whether she should move, she decides better of it and begins to read]

[lookthroughthemirror-austin-blog]

I’m not sure, darling. Probably you won’t. And I surely don’t think about dropping by when i’m out of this place.

Well [he smirked] I’m not sure, why don’t you try to surprise me?

[ebbjustflows]

I'll be just fine, Austin. Yeah, I don't blame you for that. I wouldn't want to come back here after I'm done with this hellhole.

Well, short of doing something very unladylike in the middle of this hallway, I'm not sure what I can do.

[lookthroughthemirror-austin-blog]

I’d like to say some shit like “it gets better” but it really doesn’t so…I feel sorry for you. How are you going to manage those years without my presence, really? 

I’m not sure…aving a tent for my own sounds wonderful right now. You’ll have to convince me.

[ebbjustflows]

Yeah, I don't imagine it would get much better. However will I manage that? I think I might not even be able to stand it.

Oh, having doubts? [She smiles, reaching up to smooth his collar, her fingers lingering on his skin.] And what would convincing you take?

[lookthroughthemirror-austin-blog]

I hate those. So glad I’m almost done with that shit. One more year and I’ll be gone from this shithole, they’s a relief. There might be some truth on that but still, I think I’d rather have a tent to myself they are too small…wait a second, Are you trying to insinuate something, cherie?

[ebbjustflows]

Yeah, they’re no picnic. You’re a lucky one, that’s for sure. I’ve got quite a while left here, unfortunately. And you don’t think close quarters are ever a good thing? [as recognition flashes across Austin’s face, Ebb smiles deviously] I just might be, handsome. You want to reconsider that statement now?

[lookthroughthemirror-austin-blog]

[He jolts a bit at the sudden hug but hug her back with a smirk] Bonjour, mon petit. [he winked] Busy. Mostly that. Trying to convince my parents that this camp thing is a terrible idea.

[ebbjustflows]

[kissing Austin on both cheeks, Ebb gently stands down] Lucky that you’ve been busy at all, the only thing that’s gone on around here is exams, which are a nightmare. Well, it’s obviously a stupid trip, but you do have the chance to choose your roommate for next year if you win. That’s never a bad power to have. And I’m no fan of those cramped little tents, but I think with the right tentmate, we could both be persuaded to enjoy it very much. [she winks back at him]

[lookthroughthemirror-austin-blog]

Why is this place so…quiet, Hello?

[ebbjustflows]

[she smiles, standing on her tiptoes to give him a hug.] Bonjour. Perhaps the better question is where you’ve been rather than where everyone else is?

[lolololo-hi]

You know..how many bags are we allowed to carry since we are leaving? I mean I really need to get all my stuff I can’t just simply left all my things here but I wouldn’t like to have too many bags. They are heavy and I don’t like heavy things is like…that one time my dad tried to take me on a trip and we couldn’t leave because we had too may bags in our shoulders. I wouldn’t like that to happen again. No, no…not at all. So…no, how many bags am I supposed to take?

[ebbjustflows]

Hm, not sure. But do you really need that many bags? What on earth could you need that would take up that much space? You’re a boy, you’re supposed to be low-maintenance.
