beautiful, but annihilating

—I..I don’t know. I ran into him a few days ago. Literally. 

So many people are coming back from the dead or like, showing up out of nowhere lately... This is insane. Have you talked to him?

At least your ex-boyfriend didn’t come back from the dead. 

Woah what -- Haley! I thought your ex boyfriend was dead... Woah.. That's just.. Woah.. Okay, okay, how in hell did that happen?

You sure? Like, maybe you should like, get yourself checked out? You never know, concussions can like.. kill you! Better safe than sorry, y'know?

"I happen to think I look quite good without a shirt on, although I am in a dorm with my sister now, so I think that’s probably a valid point, because no one would want their sister to check them out and all."

"Everyone likes to think that they look good without a shirt on, but that doesn't always mean it's true! Oh my God, that'd be so awkward, it's like.. incest. So, yeah, I'm probably right, as usual. People usually take my advice, I like to think I'm really wise."

Fun fact. I actually scored for Amity.

You think you would've liked It over there? In Amity, I mean! It's so cheerful over there, I think I would've fit in there. Not that Dauntless isn't cool, I mean, I love it here! I can't see myself anywhere else. Is that weird?

You can believe me. Sardonic humour is a bit of a fault of mine, I’m sorry.

Nah, it's okay -- ah. I don't know your name! Anyway, everyone has a different sense of humor so.. If sardonic humor is yours... That's nice? I mean, I'm more of the knock-knock joke sort of girl, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Good surprised. Really fuckin’ good surprised.

Well.. Why are you surprised? I mean, if you don't mind me asking!

I didn’t mean it literally. I said if my hand ever got chopped off I would call myself that. My name’s Isla.

Isla? That sounds really... royal, for some reason! Well, I was going to say it's nice to meet you, but I've only known you for two minutes, so that might be a lie, you know?

"You’re what? Dude, I mean, I know this is a shared room, but I think it’d be better if you kept your clothes on!”

Eh, I’ve been.. around, I guess! Everything got really hectic so I kind of just took a breather, you know? But I’m back, and better than ever! How’ve you been?

Ah, I see. That’s always a good idea, I guess. I’m managing. 

Managing? That's a pretty... ordinary answer, I guess? I'm glad there're still people I know that are still here, like some of my friends just vanished? It's crazy, Haley -- hey that rhymes!

Where’ve you been anyway? I haven’t seen you in forever. 

Eh, I've been.. around, I guess! Everything got really hectic so I kind of just took a breather, you know? But I'm back, and better than ever! How've you been?

"You're what? Dude, I mean, I know this is a shared room, but I think it'd be better if you kept your clothes on!"

"What -- oh my God, okay, yeah, this is probably the wrong dorm. I'm really sorry! But by the way, you should probably get a shirt, because hey, what if someone else walks in here? That might be embarrassing."

"Oh ahh — the door was shut…"

"Oh my God -- I'm so sorry! I didn't know anyone was in here!"

I mean, you’re usually nice.

Aha! Key word in that sentence is usually! I think like... 90% of the time is a pretty good estimate! Then again, I've never been able to make accurate estimates, so maybe I'm wrong. I like to think I would've faired well in Amity!

Do I look like I kid? Maybe scratch the Captain and just keep the Hook part. I like the sound of that.

I don't think I know you well enough to see if you're joking or not, so I'll go with that. Hook? That's a weird nickname, but hey, to each his own. I'm Annabelle! Nice to meet you.. Hook.
