Okay, so it's roughly 6 pm, but we just got back from a thirteen hour bus ride, so I need sleep. But it's also my turn to let everyone in the world know about our lives. So, um.....lesse......
Oh, yeah. I spent the secret meeting day working on my second masterpiece. And some homework. And some working out.
Jayli got home sometime in the evening, changed into her pajamas, and kicked me out of the living room. She promptly turned on rock music, yelled it at the top of her lungs, and banged away at a rock sculpture.
It was a rough night.
She was still going strong that morning, so I went fishing. Chandell decided to join me, while Jesse restocked the fridge.
She's pretty okay. Her jokes are a little wierd, and she seemed kinda distant, so I showed her a video that Jess, Li, and I had made when I was a kid.
It was a remix of all the times Li pranked Mom, and her respective reactions. It has a dub step background and everything.
Pretty good, if I do say so myself.
We talked for a couple hours about random stuff, until she announced, "There are two things you should probably know."
"Um. Okay."
"One-I started a blog. It's called 'Dealing With A Dynasty.' I'm trying to raise my social networking skill. It'll be useful." She bit her lip. "Make that three things."
I raised my eyebrows, waiting. I'm a pretty non-verbal person.
"The second is that I got you a genie in case-oh dang it, four things! Anyway, in case the social networking and LTR's don't work out."
"I'm so confused right now." I informed her.
She groaned. "Did Jesse not tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
Chandell didn't respond. Instead, she threw her arms in the air and looked up. "I am surronded by incompetence and fools. Help would be useful." She looked back at me. "No offense."
"None taken?" I seriously had no idea how to respond to that.
"The third thing is that I have created Forbidden Fruit. I'm thinking about planting it." She chuffed the dirt with her foot. "Y'know. If it's okay with your Mom and all the requirements."
"I think it is. You wanna have a kid?"
She thought about it for a second. "Well, yes and no. I suppose that's one aspect of it, but there's also the study of the genetic components that separate plantsims from humans, and how/if that affects the development of a child, and-"
"Do you want a lab experiment or a kid?" I asked.
Chandell glared at me. "I'm not going to abuse it or something, it's simply an added bonus that would be interesting to study! Besides, the sociology behind a PlantSim being raised in a human environment would also be-" Her phone dinged. She looked at it and huffed. "By the way, here's the the fourth thing-Jesse has discovered selfies."
I put a hand over my heart and spoke very seriously. "May God save us all."
Speaking of Jess-when we got home, he and Jayli were yelling at each other. In fact, I could hear them from the end of the block.
"There is too much gnome danged DRAMA in this place! I am SICK of it! It's stupid, and ridiculous, and stupid!"
CD and I stood awkwardly in the doorway while she stomped to her room.
So, while Li avoided me, I met MM.
"MM's the name, wishing's ma game. Whatcha want?" He cracked his knuckles.
"Not really anything, actually. Just a chat."
"Cool, cool."
We stood around awkwardly for a second.
"So.......how's your life been?"
We cut the conversation short when I got a call from the cops.
"You stole from CHANDELL?!"
"Oh, come on! I just wanted to add some flare!"
"Jesse!"
He slunk low in his seat. "I won't do it again." He muttered.
There was a moment of silence.
"She wants a kid."
Jesse bolted up. "Woah, WHAT?! She said she couldn't do that cause you were cousins!"
The breaks screeched and we skidded to a halt in front of the house.
Jesse yelped. "Wyatt! You'll hurt Jeremiah!"
"Not really the point right now." I gave him a look. "Explain about kids with Chandell.
"So, basically, it's a soap opera plot." Jess finished.
"Fun."
He nudged me. "It'll be fine, Wyatt. Don't stress about it."
I tired not to stress, y'know. I did.
Even though Li was ignoring me.
She wouldn't even stand in the same room as me until graduation. And that was only until she stepped off the stage and bolted.
Oh yeah, we graduated with honors. CD got valedictorian, and Workaholic; I became Disciplined; Jayli's artistic, I think; and Jesse's a Natural Cook. (He wanted to be Eco-Friendly, but I am taking no chances with him burning the house down.)
I'm stressing out, though. A lot. I mean--just--gaaaaahhh. It's Jayli, for gnome's sake!
But anyway....I think that's everything...uhhhh......
Oh, yeah, the night before graduation, Chandell randomly walked up and hugged me.
"Wyatt Frond, you officially have my blessing to WooHoo my wife in order to acquire an heir."
I released her. "Do you and Wyatt have Blunt People Anonymous meetings or something?'
"Fight the power!" Jesse called from the kitchen. "Don't sugarcoat things! Stick it to the man and tell it like it is!"
I'm gonna pass put in roughly two minutes, so here's the picture from our trip back.
I'm just tired, right? That didn't ACTUALLY happen?
