Bears! In the Soph Coppertale Cabin!
Uh public service announcement-don't leave snacks in your room if you don't spell them sealed.

Don't forget to do that.

Bad things happen.

Bad news bears.

Sophomore Coppertale Girls

I'm really, really, really sorry.

...at least we have Hightower to tell stories to us?

Vee

I feel like an idiot and possibly everyone hates me.

Also, I have some questions about Christmas.

	Most definitely. But the teachers said they could put things back, it's just going to take a long time. And I feel sufficiently idiotic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, okay. Well, let me know if you need any help. Or if you want me to replace anything. It was an innocent mistake, Vic. I think, coming off a day when a bunch of kids nearly killed themselves to go sledding down a hill while drunk, this is, in the grand scheme of things, not that serious. At least you weren't hurt, or there when the bear was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I guess we'll see if anything was beyond repair when we are able to go back in. I appreciate it though.

Yeah...I just try and pride myself on being pretty smart, and this was so overwhelmingly dumb. So I guess if we were in a competition for who was smarter you just won forever. So there is one small light, we definitely figured that out.

Also, apparently my sister was suffering under the delusion that because I was going to yours over break that I liked you. Jesus.

Okay. Let me know.

It was an accident. Don't beat yourself up over an accident. Doing something phenomenally stupid on purpose, that would make you seem unintelligent. But accidents don't make you stupid. They just mean you're human. I'm sure I will use this in a conversation later to brag, but right now it's too soon.

Eh, people always jump to that conclusion when boys and girls are friends with each other. You'll probably hear that a lot.

You're the best. Don't let that go to your head.

Plah. Yeah. I'm trying not to, and people are being kinda cool about it and thinking of sleeping in the main cabin as like a sleepover or something. So I guess it could be way worse. And feel free, I'd be upset if you didn't hold it over my head, honestly.

And you wonder why I'm confused about feelings and kissing. All of this is so...

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to coming even if I have to keep telling my sister I don't like you.

Too late.

See? There you go. You're your own worst enemy sometimes, you know. No one got eaten and things are easy to replace. Just keep telling yourself that until you feel better.

We're hormonal teenagers, Vic. What did you expect? Everyone thinks everyone is kissing everyone or wants to kiss everyone. You can't let it bother you. People literally do nothing but talk shit.

Do you want me to put that on a t-shirt for you? "I DON'T LIKE GARRETT OGLETREE"? Have you decided whether you're just coming for the party or for longer than that yet?

Ugh knew it.

I guess so. I spend a lot of time in my head giving myself pretty high standards of behavior. But I appreciate the perspective.

Vee knows that I don't really feel that about anyone. Or don't really know what it's like. But I won't let it bother me, because it's not like a terrible thing for people to think, just the wrong thing.

Nah don't bother. I'll let all my words and deeds do my talking for me. And yeah. I think me and Vee will do Christmas day together and then I'll come for the rest of break. If that's okay with you?

I am who I am, Victoria.

Yes, yes you do. And I'm here to tell you to relax. At least about this.

Maybe she thinks that because you don't know what it's like to feel like that about anyone, you wouldn't recognize it until it's already happening. Or too late. Either way, you shouldn't let it bother you, no.

That's absolutely fine with me. I have to owl my parents and ask their permission, which I'll do right now and let you know for absolutely sure. But obviously it's fine with me or I wouldn't have invited you. I've got a lot of stuff going on for break, and you're welcome to tag along.

I can't say I didn't know what I was getting into.

Fine. I'm totally cool as a cucumber. Relaxed like no one's business.

I have tried to get a single person to help explain what it's like but either I'm missing whatever it is that makes you feel that way, or else I just like, am completely misunderstanding what it is. But no, not letting it bother me. Or trying not to.

Okay. So long as I won't be in the way. But if Vee isn't home, it'll be lonely at the house. Plus think of how many plans we could make without classes to get in the way. And if you don't mind me tagging along, then i'm always up for stuff.

Exactly. This is on you, not me.

Said like a true un-relaxed person. Have someone give you a massage or something.

I think it's a brain chemistry thing. You'll get it when you get it. Don't rush or stress yourself over it. Relationships look weird and annoying from the outside, so it's not like I don't get your point of view.

You're never in my way. I'm volunteering at a magical creature shelter, I've got some underground dueling matches lined up, and my schedule is wide open for other shenanigans.

I like how you put you having your personality on me.

I'm very relaxed. And who on earth would I get to give me a massage?

Hm. Maybe. And they definitely look weird and annoying. Friendships are hard enough honestly. One step at a time.

Okay good. I didn't figured you'd ask if I'd be in your way, just wanted to be sure.

Wait, really?? Holy shit, that sounds awesome! Between those and shenanigans it'll be an awesome break.

I should go into being a lawyer after I graduate, shouldn't I?

No one in your cabin knows how to give a massage? No one you know knows how to give a massage? That's so sad.

You're doing great. A+ in friendship so far.

Vic, you're never in my way. Okay? Okay. Plus, we have plenty of rooms, so.

I like to keep busy. And it's hard to participate in official dueling tournaments when I'm in school since they involve multiple qualifying rounds I miss because I'm here, so underground dueling keeps my skills sharp while I'm home for break. And, well, I don't need to explain the shelter.

You could be many things, Sly. Broom salesman also comes to mind.

I don't know, I've never announced in my cabin that I needed a massage? What exactly do you think happens in our cabin? And no, I don't generally ask if people I know want to put their hands on me. It's not sad, YOU'RE sad.

Why do I sense sarcasm? That's mean. Don't be mean.

Okay. And good. Because it's actually sounding fun, even if you're sometimes mean. But mostly nice.

That sounds amazing, I've never been to an underground dueling tournament, it sounds awesome. No, no need to explain the shelter. I'll just make sure not to wear anything shiny because I totally want to cuddle a niffler.

Broom salesman?

Clearly not massages. I am sad, that you'll never know the magic of how a good massage can relieve the day's stress. Maybe I should get you a pass to a spa for Christmas. It might change your life.

Maybe you should instead be asking yourself why you think everything I say sounds sarcastic.

Ha. Thank you. I think.

It's dangerous, which is its own kind of fun. With no rules in place, people can sometimes get really hurt. But you don't need to worry. I'm very good. Nifflers are so annoying. Every day when I have to clean their nests, it involves shaking out so much gold. Where do they even get it? Where?

Yes, because you're very slick. You could charm anyone.

Definitely not massages. If you want to send me to a spa, I won't argue, though I imagine there could be better uses of your money. Relaxing sounds nice though.

Perhaps because I know you? That's probably it. But usually I'm kidding when I say you're being mean. I wouldn't keep being friends with you if your were truly mean.

You're welcome. I always means my compliments.

I don't mind dangerous so long as it's a certain kind of fun, calculated dangerous. I would be happy to watch you dangerously duel in an underground tournament. Sounds mysterious and fun. That sounds ADORABLE, what are you talking about. Sometimes annoying things can be cute.
