Thread: The Arcanist (Me and SHARPii)

Her last class of the day was her free period, which knowing her, was always spent in the room that housed her well-known obsession the school paper. Llewellyn Forbes had always been an English or Literature junkie and it was only more that she loved to write. Stepping into middle school, she found her first love the school newspaper and worked her butt off to ensure a weekly spot for an article. Then as she approached high school, it was her goal to always make a front page article and she succeeded. It was only her junior year where she became the editor of her school newspaper, The Bugle and it was completely transformed, all for the better. At an instant, she sat down at her computer and started working on her article. She had a deadline and she had been really badly procrastinating. It was the time of her birthday and her focus has been more on it and her boyfriend, than her priorities at The Bugle . Luckily for her, she was a speedy typist and knew what she had to write. The latest Man of Steel Seth Goldberg , featuring the school's legendary quarterback for the varsity football team. He was the one that always brought the team to glory and she managed to get him to agree to an interview, just as long as she promised to not include anything scandalous in there. Let's just say the star quarterback was anything but perfect. Everything for the next week's edition was already put to place and ready to go. All she had to do was insert this article to the front page and then come Monday, she'd be able to print the newspaper and that week's edition would be out in the line of fire. If anything, she was as hard as a rock about criticism and always passed the bad ones out. She didn't care what people thought. It was her newspaper with some good writers on board and a few incredibly talented photographers and with that team work, a beautiful newspaper was born. It'd make any editor reach for a Kleenex to know they did a job well done. Once everything was all said and done and saved, she cleaned up the place, grabbing her bag too and every time she inched towards the door, she always remembered there was something more she had to do to close up. It only made her boyfriend have to wait longer, which she hated. It wasn't kind to make someone wait. Finally managing to lock up, Llew made her way to the exit but was soon bombarded by friends who remembered her birthday. Balloons and a few gifts, even a homemade cake were shoved into her hands, and she was given tons of hugs and air kisses, as well as congratulations. She felt like she was on display. She wasn't one for the public spotlight. Feeling quite embarrassed, she made her way out of the school and towards the parking lot, seeing Jacob waiting for her. She had a small frown on her face, mostly from being bombarded by her friends and her face was perhaps as red as a tomato. She was this wild and crazy young girl but the public spotlight wasn't her friend. She didn't open up to just anybody. She was always shy at first and then the more she got to know a person, she unleashed her true colors a true weirdo. Her black wavy hair, tied up in a messy ponytail seemed to stick to her skin in this hot weather. It was hot, disgustingly hot. Which meant she had to wear tank tops and shorts just to stay comfortable. Sometimes she felt like every other blonde bimbo at her school ew. I've been attacked. Embarrassed congratulated. Remind me why we're having a party this weekend? She asked him, having approaching him, being able to barely hold all the things in her hands balloons, gifts and a cake. Sweet, but a bit much, yeah? She remembered the first day she met Jacob. And now, good friends who were dating and were so gung-ho about each other. She knew everything about him, envied him too but never let that envy turn to jealousy which would turn into hate. His abilities were beyond amazing and true, she wished she could have that power too or be able to wield it but it was enough to know she was with someone who could do that. It's like a fantasy come true. If anything though, he helped her to come out of her shell and really charge for her aspirations. All it took a little nudge. He was the nudge to her shied-out aspirations.
