PETRA.

“ my hand will be in better shape than him, trust me. that’s unacceptable & you shouldn’t just let it happen! while i prefer to use my words over anything else, i’m not afraid to get my hands dirty when need be. ”

‘ No it’s, I mean, he’s just... I know I shouldn’t, but sometimes it’s just easier to let them take their anger out on me, I’d hate for anyone else to have to go through what I do. I’m sure the next time he sees me he’ll apologise. ’

PETRA.

-`ˏ starter for @jennvs​  ˎ´-

“ you sure you don’t want me to smack him? because i will. ”

‘ No! No, I don’t want you to hurt your hand. He yells at me a lot, a lot of the parents do, I think they think guidance counsellors give out grades or something... ’

❛ Mm, ❜ Percy began, eyeing the various pastries before her. ❛ I think I’ll START with chocolate. You know, ‘cause I’m your favourite student & all – I’m gonna take two. MAYBE THREE. ❜ She spoke with a shrug, grabbing a chocolate flavoured treat. ❛ My week? My week… MY WEEK. Not much has been happening, really. Lots of YAPPING about prom. Yapping I attempt to avoid. But, between hundreds of students & an AWARD-WINNING MEMORY – it’s difficult. I really think I should just avoid school until this WHOLE ORDEAL blows over. Like… disability leave! This is a disability if you think about it. Which you should. ❜

‘ Keep your voice down, I don’t want anyone getting jealous. ’ She mirrored Percy’s actions, grabbing a cupcake herself before taking a generous bite, hand going to cover mouth as she spoke, ‘ do you think you’ll go? To PROM, I mean. A lot of students I’ve spoken to lately don’t seem very interested. ’ She waggled a finger playfully in their direction, shaking her head gently, ‘ mm-mm, you’re not getting away with it that easily, Percy. Even if you have to sit in here all day, you’re still coming to school! Besides, don’t you think you’d miss your favourite guidance counsellor?... Ignoring the fact I’m the only guidance counsellor, of course. ’

[jennvs]

NOAH.

@jennvs !

“You see, the thing about FOOSBALL is that it is an art, Jenna. Not a sport, not a skill, not a fun game, but an ART. You have to ever so slightly turn the tiny little colorful players with those metal bars — — which, for the record, hurt a LOT when some little twerp jams them into your crotch area-slash-zone just because he wants to inhibit you from playing the game properly, which goes against the sportsmanship morals of almost any game — — and twirl them around and around until you hit the plastic ball, no bigger than one used for ping pong. And then! And then: you have to hit that tiny white ball into the the endzone, the FAKE endzone because it does not, in fact, have that yellow ‘ y ’ shaped collection of metal bars — I’ve always been more of a science guy than a sports guy, y’know? And a literature guy, and a history guy, and an arts guy. Just NOT a sports guy. So I don’t really know what the metal bar above the endzone is called. And I used to think a touchdown was the same as a goal. It’s not. But anyway, FOOSBALL. It’s difficult. Not as difficult as pool, but more difficult than ping pong. Maybe I’m just good at ping pong because of my long arms. You know a really cool fact about arms? Starfish shed them in order to keep cool in extreme temperatures. Wouldn’t that be awesome! To just … get too hot and POP! Mr. Lefty is on the floor. But what would happen to our shirts if that happened? Would they just fall out or would the sleeves rip? Because I’m assuming it would fall out, considered you’d probably be wearing a shirt with little to no sleeves in such hot weather. But say you had to go to a formal event and we wearing a button down shirt, would it just … drop down and kinda dangle because it can’t go out because the wrists are so tight? MAKES YOU THINK.” 

‘ I... Never knew you knew so much about foosball, Noah! Or that you were so passionate about it, at least, but it’s nice! It’s refreshing, almost! I mean, I don’t think I really understand the crotch problems, but maybe you could... Get a guard? Is that a thing? Then you could get back at your opponent for being unsportsmanlike, since their tactics wouldn’t affect you! Sports are kind of difficult to understand sometimes so I don’t blame you... You’re probably good at ping pong just because! I think people with short arms play, too, you must just have a natural aptitude; Olympics here we come, right? I don’t think I’d want my arms to fall off, they’ve been with me my entire life, I’ve got a sort of nostalgic attachment to them – plus if everyone did it then there’d be arms everywhere! Think of the clean up... I don’t think shirts would rip, it’d just be like... It fell out, right? POP! like you said. If we lived in a society where people’s arms could just fall off would anyone even tighten their cuffs anymore? Or just leave them loose in case of emergency arm-popping-off? ’

MARTY.

     “ Marty, just Marty’s fine. Mr. Gilford makes me sound like some sort of RESPECTABLE, old man. Not really my jive. What’s your name ? Got any booze ? Get’s me into the pouring my soul out mode, y’know ? ”

‘ Marty, right! Sorry, I think I’m still in guidance counsellor mode. I’m Jenna–––– –– Booze? N-No, I don’t really keep any lying around, or anywhere, really, I’m not much of a drinker. Hot cocoa is the best I can do, but it’s great, I promise! ’

[jennvs]

WADE.

‘ now that is very unfortunate, i hope that wasn’t your dream. ‘

‘ Luckily, no, but enough about me! It’s your turn, what was your dream when you were a kid? ’

[jennvs]

MARTY.

@jennvs !

    “ Do you do guidance counselling for adults? For like, free ? ”

‘ Oh! Well, Mr Gilford, I think that’d just be... Us talking, which I’m not opposed to, of course! But it wouldn’t really be actual counselling. I’m not seeing any students for another hour so you’re more than welcome to take a seat if you’d like, talk about what’s on your mind? ’

❛ Time’s a human construct, Altieri. ❜ Percy spoke with a shrug, tossing her bag aside. ❛ As long as they’re not PEACH ; I’ll be. Peach, get it? I’ll be peach. Man, allergies suck – but I sure do love the puns that come with them. Or well, only mine really. I feel kinda bad for the PUNLESS; like people with seafood allergies! No, no – hold that thought. HOLDING IT… They’d love some shellfish, but it’d be kinda… selfish. TERRIBLE. Don’t comment on that. In conclusion? A cupcake would be cool. ❜

‘ It... Sure is! ’ The elder replied, slowing her movements around the room before taking her typical seat opposite the teen, ‘ don’t you think I know you well enough by now to avoid your allergies? ’ She smiled, continuing to do so as Percy began to ramble, Jenna’s listening skills seeming to show their use whenever the student was around. She pushed the container full of treats towards her as her monologue came to a abrupt halt, ‘ they’re all different flavors, but there’s some pretty plain ones – chocolate, vanilla, I tried to make some banana split ones too! I think they’re better than usual... I hope. How’s your week been? ’

[jennvs]

@pvrcys .

‘ Hey Percy! I wasn’t expecting you for another twenty minutes but come in, I brought some cupcakes in today if you want one? ’

[jennvs]

@wfcster.

‘ Long story short, I don’t think I was ever cut out to be a Christian baseball player. Not after that incident, anyway! ’

[jennvs]

LIKE THIS FOR A STARTER ! tell me who u want ‘em for bc if you don’t i’ll cry Real Genuine Tears™ bc, in meme’s words:

[jennvs]

KARISSA.

‘ not to sound conceited but it looked a lot nicer when it was my room. — how is it living with him ? how’s he doing ? ‘

          “ That might have a little bit more to do with Jasper than Mr Legs, I don’t think he’s ever liked decorating that much... My brother, not the spider. Mr Legs? He’s a courteous roommate! Does his laundry, pays his rent, likes to join in on my morning prayers, he’s almost like a pet, really. ”

[jennvs]

SPENCER.

‘ oh, jenna, this is a pleasant surprise ! — lucky for you i’m not that busy today actually so i’d love to catch up. did you have anywhere in mind ? ‘

          “ It is? –––– –– Good! Because I didn’t want to intrude or anything. I was thinking Benny’s? I know it’s not a creative suggestion but it’s cozy and familiar and we can take our time. ”

[jennvs]

EMMA.

“Oh…oh! Well … — that’s probably not the BEST way to find out. It’s why I enjoy working with younger kids, who’s idea of a dirty word is “stupid” and their sexual knowledge is limited to kissing giving you cooties. Though the main question is: how, exactly, did that come up ANYWHERE in the school but grafitti on the bathroom stall door?”

          “ I mean, it was GOOD! In a way? I was never really exposed to any of that kind of stuff at my old high school, so at least now I’m getting the gist of it all. Younger kids have such a lovely view of the world! The way they look at everything with bright eyes, as if they’re seeing it all for the very first time! Do they ever bring you apples? I saw that in a movie once, I don’t know if it happens though... I overheard a conversation and assumed the content was innocent... Guess that’ll teach me, right?! ”

[jennvs]

     @kbatcman .

          “ Oh, no, that’s his corner of the apartment! Mister Legs lives here now as a permanent resident; we came to a mutual understanding that he eats all the flies and I don’t try to shuffle him out onto the window ledge every morning. ”

[jennvs]

     @sdaval .

          “ Spence! Hey, hi, hello! I was just wondering if you'd eaten yet? I was kept a little late after school and I remembered you finished around this time and thought it’d be nice if we caught up! I mean, you can say no, I know you’re busy and I know I usually just bring you lunch but it’s such a nice day I thought... Exception! ”

[jennvs]

     @emmqs .

          “ –––– –– And that’s how I found out what a ‘golden shower’ actually means! Granted, it’s also how I found out you should never admit to a group of teenagers you don’t know what something is, but I suppose it’s not their fault. Next time I know to just nod and smile. ”
