“First the whole of STAG, then I’ll move on to the entire U.K,” he bragged, smirking, “like a good old-fashioned pirate, my name will precede me.” In reality he wanted nothing less, he could do without a reputation. “Besides, like you want anything less - the Waitesmith name means more to you than anything, you’re like… the ultimate pirate candidate because everyone around school knows who you are. You’re like Blackbeard.”

          “Blackbeard. I like that. He lived by an especially strict code of conduct.”

“technology is amazing,” andie droned, detaching before starting in on some politically charged conversation she couldn’t give less of a shit about. she took another sip of her coffee, enjoying the burn of it on her tongue. “so, secret bathrooms, check. what about parties? or is that against policy, too?”

          “It’s against the rules, but there are exceptions to every rule. Keep an ear out for something involving the woods in, say, a week or so?”

“Good looks like mine never go out of style.” He winked at her, returning her shrug when she threatened to bill him. He could afford it. It wasn’t until Winona told him to keep any messages to her from being inappropriate that he even considered the alternative. Aiden couldn’t help but grin at her as he began to draft such messages aloud. “Dear Princess Winnie, forgive me for being so forward, but I have to ask: have you been sitting in sugar? Because your behind is looking so sweet.”

          “Tell me you’ve never actually used that on anyone.”

how do you really feel about Aiden?

“He’s an exceptional rugby player and an even better captain. I’m proud of how the work he puts into rugby reflects on our school. I really like rugby.”

favorite chat up line?

“While I can appreciate the thought that goes into a line, I don’t like them. They’re tacky.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

the most rebellious thing you've ever done

“I’ve done all the traditional rebellious things. Used the hand signal system to cheat on a test. Drank boxed wine someone nicked from the kitchen. Gone to a bonfire in the woods. I haven’t done anything someone else hasn’t already gotten away with. I’m not stupid.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

what's your least favorite part about attending school here?

“That people make assumptions about me. I don’t mind so much when they’re true. It’s assumptions that I’m a snitch or don’t work for my grades that I don’t like.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

tell me about what scares you the most

“It’s 2030, I’ve got three degrees, have a seat on the Board of Directors, haven’t taken a sick day in my life, and I’m still not the executor of the family estate. What scares me most is, therefore, doing everything I can and still not being enough.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

Are you a good liar?

“You’d have to ask the people I’ve lied to.”

“i don’t, in fact, have a thing for urinals,” andie smirked, wiggling her index finger in a phallic way.

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

          “Well,” Winona said, taking a moment to think before she spoke, eyes fixated on andy’s finger like the gesture were as vulgar as what it represented. “You never know these days.”

TEXT MESSAGE → OPEN

JULIAN: It's not an infestation, it's a single, friendly mouse. Just give him back to me if you see him. There's no need to hurt him.

WINONA: You are not seriously telling me you have a rat for a pet.

TEXT MESSAGE → OPEN

JULIAN: NO!!! Don't do that!!!

WINONA: Julian, vermin infestation is a serious problem. If you don't want to be involved, I can keep your name out of it, but I'm going to the board with this.

JULIAN: So. There may or may not be a mouse named Fred on the loose in Waitesmith. Maybe. According to some rumours. Please don't panic -- he's very friendly, but also very greedy, so don't give him cheese, and just let me know if you spot him. His wife Belinda would like to see him back soon.

WINONA: I told STAG to hire an exterminator. I'll set a trap immediately. If you catch it first, take pictures.

“A whole class? And that poor class of Y12′s is some how more important than me on the scale of who to bully first?” Aiden scoffed, his arms crossing over his chest. “Just the idea alone is absurd. I’m obviously the most important always.” He raised an eyebrow, grinning at her as she mentioned the room of people in between their dorms. “Oh, that’s unnecessary. Pascal and Hadley love the sound of my voice almost as much as you do.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

          “Sorry, but you’re so last year.” Winona shrugged. “Then I’ll buy them myself, but I’m billing you. I think you have me confused with my roommates; they can take messages while I get my beauty sleep. Just try to keep it PG.”

[indecipherables]

“Good luck trying to find someone who will support your outrageous accusations against my sanity. They are all way too scared of me.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

          “Ah yes, I forgot the whole of the U.K. shakes in their boots at the mention of your name.”

andie let out a laugh, conceding to winona. “the london larsens: lawyer and–” what did her mother do? “charity twat. shame you haven’t heard of us,” andie said, rolling her eyes to top the sarcasm. eyeing the doors, andie shrugged one shoulder. “i love a good bleach.”

[winonawaitesmith-blog]

          “Impressive,” Winona said with a smile that was more of a grimace. “Then the odds of  you choosing a door you’ll like have improved to 2:3 -- unless you have a thing for urinals?”
