“Do you think we’ll be able to win the tournament?” Cadence asked, balancing a soccer ball in her hand.

_**Oswald, Penelope, Charles, and I sit at the low round table in the Burtrom living room, voices low and minds focused. Oswald is on my team, as always, with Penelope and Charles getting along with each other this once to try and beat the combined forces of our pair.

Pain.


It's all I can feel.


Dragging me in and out of consciousness, I can never stay awake for long.

Della only had one thought in her mind. Run.

Revenge Of The Bad Date

“Well, I’m _disgusted_ that I ever even thought liked you! I used to think you were so cute and charismatic, surrounded by everyone half the time, that you must have a great personality if so many people liked you! But now all I see is how brainless and shallow you really are! Your not even that handsome! You’re a spoiled, copy-paste version of all the other idiotic guys out there and I- Ugg-I jus...

“Enara
