Emma’s tactic for survival and sanity at this school is to do what she needs to do and keep to herself. Though, she completely forgets to factor in that some people might want to gravitate towards her in that equation and it’s really fucking her up. Why would she think to include it? It’s not like she’s the most approachable person in the world or anything. In fact, she thinks she very specifically gives off a ‘fuck off and leave me alone’ vibe. But who knows, maybe she’s not trying hard enough at being an edgy loner bitch.

She’s beginning to think that maybe it has to do with her involvement in class but she isn’t going to jeopardize her grades just to keep up an image. Like, that’s pointless. Also, it’s 2019. She can be a hard bitch and a know-it-all. It’s not mutually exclusive. One girl in particular is really grinding her gears. This Penny chick who seems to have taken a liking to her. She’s just glad she’s out of that class and on her way to her first Speech and Debate meeting which will hopefully help her relieve some stress. Nothing like a good argument to let the tension leave her body.

What she doesn’t expect when she walks into the designated club space is to see Penny there. Or the back of Penny’s head specifically. Because why the fuck would she? She left that classroom hoping she never had to see Penny again outside of it. But the Lord works in mysterious ways or whatever shit it is they say at this school. Emma sucks in a breath and hopes to go unnoticed as she ventures further into the room, head down and striding straight towards a seat she hopes is inconspicuous. Maybe if she does some stupid shit like ‘believe’ she can’t be seen then she won’t be.

Patchy service in the mountains should’ve been a given, but when Matt took his phone out of his pocket to see missed calls from his mom, he realized the no service bar on the top of his screen. Figuring the resort lobby would at least provide some wifi, he opened up the settings seeing a lock bar beside the name for the guest network. “Crud.” He said under his breath before getting up and walking around to look for a sign with it on it, and when that didn’t prevail, he strolled to the front desk, but that was vacant. With hesitance he went back to where his things were, noticing a girl from school was also in the vicinity. Despite being intimidated to ask, he took a breath. Then carefully leaned over before clearing his throat. “Um, you wouldn’t happen to know the wifi password here, would you?” Matt asked with a gesture to his phone screen.

@pennyoneill;

You know how people have a list of fears they wish will never happen? Fairly realistic but just a little out there things that can only happen if you have really bad luck? Like your parents dying out of the blue, or walking into a room to see your friends having sex, things like that? Well, getting assigned a World Religion project and being paired up with Penny O’Neill? Yeah, that’s on Emma’s list. It has been she’s met the girl and learned they have that class together. So you can imagine Emma’s dismay when she hears their names spoken, one after the other, when pairs are being assigned at the end of the period. Seriously, between Dylan fucking around with her phone and getting looped into doing some work for Sofie, Emma’s luck is really down the shitter.

Nevertheless, this is work. Friendliness isn’t necessary. All Emma has to be is civil and to the point, and this will all be over sooner than later. Gathering her things, she strides over to Penny’s desk, asserting her dominance over the situation before it can get out of hand. “Sup.” Knowing Penny, Emma is sure the likelihood of her losing control of the situation and them getting off track is entirely possible. So she needs to iron fist this thing. “Okay, so I figure the earlier we start, the better. Let’s go over what we need to do and divide the work today. That way we can just work on our own time and communicate via...” She quickly sifts through her mind for options. “Google Doc.” She’s not giving Penny her number. “Are you doing anything after this?”
