Chapter Twenty
"Pyro Tendencies, Petitions, and Pyro Partners"
Flamez26: Megan!
MKart10: Yes, Lacey?
Flamez26: I need to burn something.
MKart10: Why the sudden need for pyro tendencies?
Flamez26: I got another gift from Aunt Frieda this weekend.
MKart10: And it needs to be burned because…
Flamez26: It's hideous and a threat to my reputation.
MKart10: What reputation?
Flamez26: My reputation as a bad ass.
MKart10: Haha.
Flamez26: Hey! This is very embarrassing.
MKart10: Would this gift from your Auntie happen to be green, knitted, and have little bells?
Flamez26: How do you know?
MKart10::grin::
Flamez26: Traitor!
MKart10::chuckle::
Flamez26: I demand you say how you know.
MKart10: Remember when I came into your room last night?
Flamez26: Yes.
MKart10: And when I came in you hurried to stuff something under your bed?
Flamez26: Um…I suppose.
MKart10: You weren't quick enough.
Flamez26: What do you mean I wasn't quick enough?
MKart10: Exactly what I said.
Flamez26: Megan!
MKart10: Oh, look at the time.
Flamez26: Megan Wittmeyer!
MKart10: Breakfast has begun.
Flamez26: Don't you dare.
MKart10: I must leave, darling.
Flamez26: I know where you sleep.
MKart10: Ta ta.
Flamez26: Nooooooooooooooo!
MKart10 has signed off.

Zack,
Good morning my video game loving boyfriend. Are you in charge of creating the petition?
Love,
Tanna
P.S. Have you seen my black nail polish?
To: Megan Wittmeyer

Uh oh. Should I have bought that Kevlar full-body suit I saw on Ebay last night?
Love you more.

I think a full body Kevlar body suit would be handy at all times…considering who we're friends with. Did you happen to see any Mario Kart t-shirts on Ebay?
Love you more…I'll prove it!

Why do you want to burn it? I don't know where they are. They're probably somewhere private…::wink wink::

I don't want to burn it…I HAVE GOT to burn it. It's hideous. Now, will you burn it with me? It can be a bonding experience. And I have no doubt that they are somewhere private…hehe. Oh wait…there they are.
-Lacey
To: Megan Wittmeyer

No, I didn't see any Mario Kart t-shirts.
No, I love you more (I'll prove I love you more…meet me in the abandoned classroom on the third floor after dinner…).

That might be a possibility…but there's always the risk of getting caught…and setting off the smoke detectors.

Tanna,
No, sorry, I haven't seen it. Where did you see it last? And when have Lacey and Connor NOT acted weird together? Personally, I'd be more weirded out if they actually acted normal.

Eat it. – Lacey
Ew. – Megan
Oh come on, Megan. – Lacey
Ew. – Megan
Are you telling me that you've never eaten paper before? – Lacey
I used to eat napkins when I was little. – Connor

The hideous booties are officially gone! And I think I just found a pyro-partner. ::big, manical grin:: We got our Chemistry tests back. I got a C…ok a C-, but a 70 is still a C…no matter how close to a D it is. This next unit on chemical solutions looks interesting. Haha. Imagine, me saying something in school is going to be interesting. But really…we're going to get to do experiments and labs. How can that NOT be interesting. Maybe we'll get to use a Bunsen burner!
P.S. I wonder where Megan is. I saw her and Ian slink off a little while ago.
To Do List for 2/5/07
-Celebrate destruction of Aunt Frieda's gift
-Find Connor and play Mario Kart with him
-No, beat Connor at Mario Kart
Author's Note – Yes, I know, I know. I didn't update last week. Actually, I didn't update any of my novels last week. I took a short vacation from writing to clear the center of my brain devoted to writing. So, now the cobwebs are cleared and everything is fresh and clean. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and as always I enjoyed writing…I outright laughed out loud several times while writing this. So, now that I've updated and you've read it…now review it. Oh…don't know what to review about? Need a review topic? No worries, here's one:
Did you see the movie, 300, yet? If so, what did you think? I saw it, and honestly, it was the best action/gore movie I've ever seen. It had a plot so well thought out, and characters so strong that it made me jealous.
