THREAD (Lauren, Olivia, open to others, school hall)
Who: Lauren and Olivia, STILL OPEN When: 11/14 (morning) Where: McKinley's halls What: Lauren is getting to grip with these 'powers' in her own way
A few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, if you'd told her that she'd get anything she wanted if she just put her mind to it she'd have rolled her eyes, scoffed and likely punched whoever said it just because it was that motivational, inspiring, bullshit that her mother once used in the whole 'you will drop a dress size if I hope for it enough' back when she was a tyke.
It didn't work then, so why would it work now?
But then there was all that freaky stuff, and Lauren soon came to realise that actually, if she put her mind into it, people did things. It started pretty small. She'd asked a question about a chocolate bar -mostly 'you wanna give me that' and the next thing she knew, she had it. But then things got more frequent and it wasn't just a random chocolate bar that didn't suck.
Her mom backed off when she told her, her wrestling coach stopped pulling the 'chick' card when she told him to quit it, she absolutely did not make JBI walk into a locker, five times, without stopping himself. So, it was a little freaky but a little cool and frankly, mind powers? That shit was epic badass. And she blamed Puck for her thinking in those terms, but it was true.
And she didn't abuse it, much. She just practiced like first thing in the morning, when the kids are kind of sleepy and/or hungover on a Monday and no one really notices when Lauren's just standing there, leaning against her own locker and thinking at people. It's just a random Hockey player, but she's pretty sure she's the reason he's humming that annoying 'Pocket Full of Sunshine' song.
