Carry on my wayward son

Harmony: Maybe I can make my mom something too? It's kind of middle school but I'm sure she would like it.

Harmony: Making earrings out of metal wiring could be fun.

Harmony: Sure, why not.

Harmony: I'd like that. Though, I can think of a more interesting way to spend our time but an art class works.

Noah: So what are you in the mood for? Landscape watercolors or making earrings out of metal wiring?

Harmony: I definitely agree.

Harmony: Well... I'm glad that you find me exciting.

Noah: Would you perhaps like to come to a few art classes with me this week?

Harmony: I don't need you to talk to anyone for me. I can handle her myself.

Harmony: You actually like that about me?

Noah: Out of everyone else on campus, I think you are actually the best equipped to deal with her... flair.

kitty: It was pretty easy actually, not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Also, Mateo REALLY liked the part where he got wet. Do you know what a Newfoundland dog is? They are the ultimate life guards. They were originally bred so that they had webbed feet to help rescue people from drowning!

kitty: Yes, I put him up on this facebook page. Hopefully, I'll be able to find him a home soon. Please let me know when you're looking! We're a little foster home for pets to help out the local shelter.

noah: oh wow I never knew that! looks like you had the perfect partner by your side for a water fight, then! that's great, because i would have felt very sad if he was spooked by water with everything happening around here at the moment.

For a minute there, I think I forgot that I wasn’t just at summer camp. Until some random ass guy that clearly doesn’t go to this school started stalking students and shooting them with water guns. Just another day at McKinley. 

Can’t say I’m too upset about that. She’s a pro at causing unnecessary trouble and headache for people. 

Right? I was starting to find myself missing the shenanigans that happen around here until this practically endless water fight. At least the weather has been great for it. 

Dude, that’s terrifying. It’s like they’re going out of their way to create chaos. 

Yeah. Not sure I want people knowing my deepest, darkest secrets.

I can’t say I’m disappointed though! I think this is perhaps the most summer camp thing they’ve thrown at us yet. 

Harmony: Meddling isn't the word for it, Noah. She's horrible to me. She tells people that I'm a slut with an STI (which is false) and she thinks I'm actual trash because I'm from Lima Heights.

Harmony: It’s been happening since I was a teenager. Even as an adult I can't escape her. And when she said she had been with you... it hurt.

Harmony: But I'll make sure that I remind her of her drunken bullshit whenever she brings it up again. I also can't be blamed if I ever decide to punch her in the face. Totally worth it.

Noah: Knowing Rachel, it sounds as though she was absolutely trying to get into your head. If she says anything to you around me, you best believe that I will have a talk with her.

kitty: I've never been in one! I hope that they show me out to use the little gun, because I've never held one before. But I have seen cute little commercials for them!

kitty: Just one that will love him! He's SO SMART. He figured out how to open the sliding door so that he can come inside! He's kind of exciting and he'll jump on people but he's really a good dog that just need some training and a good home.

Noah: I’ll show you anything you need to know, if you want? I think you deserve to have a fighting chance and a good time!

[...]

Harmony: You have nothing to apologize for. I'm the one who should be sorry.

Harmony: I don't think before I act most of the time and when it comes to Rachel, I kind of black out with rage. I know I need to work on it. Especially for you. I'm sorry.

Noah: You and her don't get along, so that is completely understandable. Just know that all of this happened a long time ago, so don't let anything that she says get in between you and I.

kitty: That's so nice! Thank you! And I hope you have a good week as well!

kitty: Thank you so much! He is a sweet little catahoula mix. He is SO SMART and completely energetic. I hope that I can find a home for him because I think he would be a completely good friend to have.

kitty: His name is Beans by the way, look at his paws.

kitty:

noah: I'm definitely looking forward to the week coming! who doesn't enjoy a fun water fight?

I gotta say, a water war doesn’t sound terrible. I’m pretty proficient with a Super Soaker, and willing to use it if necessary. I am, thank you. Glad to be home, that’s for sure.

I heard about that. You spill any secrets you intended to keep?

I saw Miss Holiday bringing in sprinklers, hoses and huge boxes that i have a suspicion are water slides and the like.. So I’m sure this will all be conducted in true McKinley fashion. Nothing that I particularly hide, thank goodness. Are you glad to have missed it?

Harmony: It's fine. Just forget it.

I don’t think there are words that could truly express how great it feels to be back at McKinley. Which is something I definitely didn’t think I would ever say, after the way this past year went, but man. Getting yelled at by your commander really makes you realize how good you have it when someone isn’t screaming at you that you’re walking wrong. I’m utterly exhausted, and really looking forward to hanging out and doing some camp activities this week. Anyone wanna fill me in on what I’ve missed lately? I’m sure this place had some interesting stories..

It looks like this week we are about to start a water war, in true McKinley spirit. What a welcome home for you. I hope you are doing well. Things here have actually been pretty relaxed for the most part. Though there was some issues with burning some questionably toxic substances last week. 

Oh, you volunteer at shelters? That’s awesome, dude. I volunteer at the Homeless Shelter for LGBT+ youth quite regularly. For the same reasons you volunteer. I like to help people and if I can help make a difference, even a small one, I’ll feel like it’s been worth it, you know? They do. I used to want to be a football player - or my dad wanted me to, and I was just going to go along with it. Now I’m just kind of figuring it out. My degree is in art with a minor in creative writing. I’d love to teach, maybe.

Really? Let me know if you ever need help with anything, or there is anything that you guys may need over there. Sometimes we end up with a little too much at the community center and are always looking for places to donate. Do you still play some football? Perhaps you could join the McKinley team for fun. They don’t win any games, but look as though they have a lot of fun. I was thinking of perhaps trying out in the fall. That’s really cool, man! You’ll have to show me your stuff sometime!

Harmony: Whatever.
