Yeah I’m going to. One of the good things of owing a zoo back home. You should come to the zoo with us.
Oh, you have a zoo back home? That’s so cool! I’ll definitely have to come with you to visit it
I’m seriously scared he may die. He said he would die if he went to the zoo… I really don’t know how to describe him. Darn. Thanks.
He’s never been to a zoo either? Oh man, you have to get him caught up on all this then! I’m sorry, Elle, maybe next time.
I love that place, I’ve only been there a few times though. Wally has never been there, I seriously think he’s going to die even though he promised not to, haha. We will. It’s a shame. I’ll miss you. You should come too.
Oh goodness, first time to Disney? It may be too much for him to handle, even though I don’t really know who Wally is. Awh, I’ll miss you too. I think I may be a downer at Disney right now though. Have fun though!
I wouldn’t wish being an only child on anyone. Nothing much, other than planning a trip to Disney World with Wally.
Oh, a trip to Disney? I haven’t been there since I was a kid! That sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you two enjoy yourselves and take a lot of pictures
Yeah being an only child sucks. I was in the same boat, I never had any real friends. I’ll pester away then.
It really does. I don’t know why some people wish they are an only child. So what have you been up to lately? Anything fun?
I knew I could count on my brothers and dad to help me. I’ll probably annoy you with how much I’ll talk to you.
No, it could never bother me. You’re like my little sister and I spent 17 years of my life as an only child without any friends so feel free to pester me with problems! I’ll gladly help.
Thanks, I know I have you, Adam and Wally to always be there for me. I don’t want to get rid of you guys. I sure hope they do.
Yes you do, and I’m sure all of us will always be there for you. I’ll be around for you until they do get better, okay? If you ever need anything or to talk to anyone you know where to find me.
Everything I say gets interpreted wrong or I interpret something wrong and I end up losing everyone I’m close too. And I don’t want that to happen anymore so maybe it’ll be better if I just shut up.
I’m sorry, Ellie. You still have me and you’re going to have a hard time getting rid of me. Don’t feel like you have to shut up just because of a few misunderstandings. I’m sure things will work out with whatever happened.
I understand completely. I just feel like everything is my fault. I just need to learn to keep my mouth shut and never talk to anyone again.
What? Oh Ellie, what happened? Don’t feel that way. Do you want to talk to me about it?
You sure? I’m just a little confused.
Yeah, I’m feeling a little off but it’s not really something to talk about online. You know? What are you confused about?
Is something wrong Flounder?
I’m fine, what’s up with you? You seem a little upset
Flounder ran his fingers through his wet hair, making it somewhat styled in its post shower state though he really didn’t care whether his hair was styled or not at the moment. After Jasmine had all but dragged him back inside from where he had been sitting out in the rain, he’d gone to take a shower and pulled on a tee-shirt and sweat pants so he could head back out to the common room on the junior floor. He was planning on just sitting on the couch as he had been for the past few days now, completely lacking the energy or motivation to do really anything other than sit around and zone out into space and find himself lost in his mind. He supposed it was easier than figuring things out for himself in the real world when he let his mind wander, letting it happen more and more frequently after what Edward had told him. It wasn’t even that he was angry or upset with Edward at the moment, more that he just couldn’t seem to wrap his mind around what he should do or what he wanted.
Turning the corner from the hallway and into the common room, Flounder walked over to the couch and plopped himself down in what had become his usual spot in the room now. Pulling his feet up onto the couch beneath him, he glanced up at the television to see that it was already on with a commercial flashing across the screen as the happy and peppy spokesperson tried their best to sell the viewer on whatever it was they were selling. Flounder groaned at how enthusiastic they were before reaching over to pick the remote off the table, flipping the channel until he found one that was showing an old movie from a couple years ago. He leaned back, resting his head on his arm as he began to zone out again, not paying much attention at all to the movie on the screen.
Jasmine dropped her phone on her desk in confusion and slight annoyance. Lifting her head slightly to look out the window, she cringed seeing the large drops slam against the window and even jumped in her seat at a flash of lightning. She could be adventurous and she could be daring but running outside in the middle of a thunder storm wasn’t exactly what she was looking for to “spice up her life.” Nonetheless, she found herself grabbing a jacket off her floor and leaving her dorm to enter the unappealing weather. She knew it was necessary, though, because something had to be up if Flounder was sitting outside in the rain and being stubborn. The Flounder she knew was always sweet, not snappy. He would also probably never dare sit in a thunder storm for fear of ruining his outfit. Which was where Jasmine really knew she had go outside. Once she got outside she realized she had no idea where Flounder would be. She also realized how it would have bean a lot smarter to grab a jacket with a hood.
Sighing, she traveled around Walt, making sure to look under by all the trees. Finally, she spotted a little blob through the pouring rain sitting under a tree. Jasmine walked over and plopped herself down next to him, looking ahead of her. “So,” She began, slightly awkwardly. “What’s up?” She obviously didn’t mean it casually, but more in the sense of what would posses him to sit outside in this kind of weather.
Flounder pushed his damp hair out of his eyes as he sat with his back against one of the trees, rain coming down around him. He hadn’t intended to come out and sit in the rain- it had been perfectly nice when he sat down here after his classes had let out for the day- but eventually the rain did start and he really had no desire to get up and move inside. It’s not like he had anything to do or wanted to do anything so why bother going through the effort. He would just throw his school uniform into the laundry and use the spare pieces he had of the uniform for classes tomorrow. He’d been in this mood for days, just sitting around not really doing anything of importance, because he just couldn’t sort through his thoughts. He’d eventually just got tired of thinking about everything that was going on and started thinking of really nothing at all, just sort of zoning out and staring off into space for a lot of his time. That or sleeping. Either way, Flounder seemed to be spending a lot of time out of the real world and inside his head.
His phone buzzed in his blazer pocket and Flounder was just reading the latest text message that Jasmine had sent him and was in the process of sending over a reply when he saw the girl sit down beside him. He heard her awkward start to the conversation, clearly not really knowing how to start it, and smirked a little. “So…,” he began, echoing her somewhat awkward start to the conversation before continuing. “What am I up to? Oh nothing really, just sitting outside and enjoying the lovely Scottish weather. Looks like you couldn’t resist it either,” he said, staring ahead of them and watching the rain bounce off everything around him as it hit the ground.
