the perfect storm

"Hey, I’m sorry," Jenna backed off, and took her hands up to show her that she didn’t want to fight about it. “It was an accident, please let’s just not make it into something that it isn’t,”

“Kids like you are the epitome of everything I hate about this place. Stick to whatever it is the school thinks you’re good at, and stay out of everyone else’s way.”

“I’ve read every book on the technique, I’m pretty certain I do know what I’m supposed to be doing..it’s just not happening right. Any pointers?”

Quinn eyed Grace for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. “Let me see your stance.”

“Do I look scathed?” Quinn snapped at the other girl, smoothing down her own shirt. “Are you looking to have all of the bones in your hand broken into bits?”

“I thought boxing gloves were supposed to be durable…what the hell?”

“They are durable, you probably just don’t know what you’re doing when you have them on.”

I’ve been standing guard at all of her classrooms for the past four days, so I doubt it.

Do I even want to know why you were doing that?

…Yes, but with a very good reason. You see, my friend lost this bet, and she knows that there could be a prank behind any door.

And you standing guard at this one isn’t going to tip her off?

I would very strongly advice you not to open that door. Unless you enjoy a mixture of shaving cream, maple syrup, chicken feathers and bright pink paint falling on your head.

This is a school not The Parent Trap. Did you set that up?

Exactly. No one lives in Wyoming— No one to hear their screams.

Bye, Felicias. 

It’ll be… in Wyoming.

Perfect. Who gives a fuck about Wyoming.

Oh, of course. No windows. No vents.

Sounds perfect. Let’s start drawing up the pitch.

It’d probably be good for them, you know? I’m just trying to help improve this school.

Would there be little lighting and poor ventilation in the building as well?

I vote that level ones get stored in a completely separate building. And locked in there.

I second the notion.

Fuck. That’s not even a good trick; they should reconsider becoming a spy.

And this is exactly why level ones shouldn’t be allowed into parties even if they bring “booze.”

Is this your vodka?

No, but I tried it. Someone decided to be funny and fill a vodka bottle with water to get in.
