Coward of hearts

C. I am too busy STUDYING and LEARNING to think of things like that.

Lapis: It um... caught on fire.

Greg: I let you borrow it for an hour and you wrecked it, tell me what happened.

Lapis: It’s a long story. So Peridot and I were driving to the store to pick up some stuff when suddenly... it just caught on fire.

Greg: It just caught on fire?

Lapis: Believe me I was just as shocked as you were. I was about to put the fire out myself, but Peridot stop me and said “Hold on hold on I’ll be right back” and then she just flew off on her own.

Greg: Why didn’t you stop her?

Lapis: Honestly, I wanted to see where this was going. After a few minutes, she came back, holding a measuring cup and said “Hydration Peroxide and baking soda.”

Greg: WHAT???

Lapis: And she threw it on the car and it did nothing. And Peridot said “Ah man, it didn’t work,” and she just watch it burn.

Greg: Well why didn’t you put out the fire on your own?

"Wildcat" 💋

10 year old me, absolutely overthinking the shit out of this: but it feels wrong to do good deeds only to gain something in return, isn’t it inherently bad if my reason for helping isn’t just to help but so I can boast about it in a notebook?

14 year old me, staring at my paper: how am i supposed to do that when we only summed up what happened? what are the details someone experiencing this would focus on? what were the opinions of people about that? what words that are long since out of fashion would I use? what was the culture like back then and what references would someone make? If I don’t do it it sounds unrealistic and fake can we please do more research first

YALL FORGOT ABOUT THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!
