(This is more on my OC's Kieran and Gia, just a bit about their backstory, go read Test Number #8 for their introduction though!)

"That was probably the worst idea you've ever had... how did it work?"

"Hah, told you I know what I'm doing!" Gia punched the vending machine one more time, knocking down a Dr. Pepper.

"Here you go!"

Kieran thanked her, and the two walked around the lab, bored.

Rose was thirteen when she asked her mom about her sister.

Not her little sister.

No, she knew everything about her eight year old sibling.

This was about her older sister. She would be eighteen——is eighteen. Since she’s still alive.

Rose thought so at least.

Her mom didn’t appear to think so.

Anytime it was her sister’s birthday or a day of significance that it would make sense to bring...

How long has it been since I’ve been thoroughly obnoxious? That is what I asked Nick a few days ago, when one of my other friends told me I hadn’t been “thoroughly obnoxious” in a while. It’s not like I _try_ to be. I wouldn’t even call myself an obnoxious person. I would rather prefer _highly eccentric and overly ambitious_.

All he did was side eye me and laugh. Went back to playing a game on h...

I spent another hour at the party, avoiding Damian, before heading up to bed. I was exhausted by then. A bunch of other Heirs came my way and tried to talk to me. I had shrugged them all off. Tonight had been enough already.

I collapsed into my bed. I felt so tired. My feet hurt and my body ached. I hated these balls. They wore me out.

My dreams that night were full of Damian. They were more l...

I can’t believe you thought I wouldn’t notice! It seemed odd when you kept the compass so close… even when you were using the privy. Now what are we supposed to do?? We have to get home to Mom and Dad now! You heard them… it’s dangerous out here.

We have no idea what kinds of animals are watching us even right now. I can feel their beady eyes just waiting for us to let our guard down. Fledge, yo...

“That was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had, and yet…” Runne looks toward me, his eyes holding an appreciative expression I never would’ve guessed he was capable of, “it worked.”

_Maybe it shouldn’t have._

I bite back a grimace, thinking of Giselle cuddled into Runne’s side.

“Yeah,” I begin to brush it off, “no problem, bro.”

Runne looks back at me, his face bursting into a wi...

“That was probably the worst idea that you’ve ever had… And yet, it worked!” Leo said.

“Of course killing all those guards and soldiers was a good idea. Don’t sound so surprised.” Liannaa said.

He looked at her.

“You say it as though my plans never work.”

“That’s because they don’t.” He said, “especially the ones that include ‘killing a lot of people.’”

“Those ones just never work b...

Learn the knot, uncle Rob was a soldier.

Throw it up for someone to become trapped in.

Run around, be a good son.

Clean your room, finish up.

Tie it up, make it work.

Write it out, just for you.

Try it out, it’s tempting me.

That was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had….and yet it

worked....

A hand appeared on the edge of a rooftop, knuckles turning white as they strained to pull the teenager up. With a sudden movement, the head of a girl emerged over the edge. Upon reaching safety, the brunette immediately turned and grabbed the hand of her best friend.

“Come on, come on, hurry up.”

“I’m trying.” The short, grey eyed teenager heaved himself over the edge with a little hel...

“That was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had… and yet it worked.”

I tried not to revel in the praise too much as the adrenaline coursed through both of our veins, the relief in her voice more comforting than emboldening.

To say it was the worst idea did a disservice to all the stupid ideas I’d had up to that point that got us in to this situation. If you’d told me six months ago I’d be loo...
