Turns out the stupid apple CONputer CON't open my word file with BASICS. So, I have moar written, but CONnot post it.
*screeches at your computer*
Please, by all means, give it a talking to. The stupid thing works with every website except the LMBEs right now. The CONputer lab ain't the same as my bedroom...for starters I CON't do laundry while posting.

Got it figured out. I just gotta write parts on my non-functioning laptop, then email them to myself, and post them at the CONputer lab. Where there's a will, there's a way. Here's moar.

“So, Mateo, I’ve got a problem.” I said, after everybody had finally gone home. The sun was rising in the east window, if that gives you any idea of how long I had been working on this conversation.
“Oh, yes, I bet you do.” He said. “Now, the real question is: is there only one?”
“Shut up and help a guy out.” I said.
“Sure thing.” He said, flopping onto the couch next to me. “Lay it on me.”
“Celeste flipped out.”
“Oh, yes, I bet she did.” Mateo said.
“Shut up.” I said again. “Not helpful.”
He still had a stupid grin plastered on his face. “So, what’s the problem?”
“Like, she really flipped.” I said. “I don’t know if she ever wants to see me again!”
“Did you expect a different reaction…?” Mateo said. “You just turned her world upside down. I bet she’s ripping down posters right now, and screaming, and kicking the walls, and probably crying.” He shrugged.
“I just…I didn’t realize…ugh, why did this go so wrong!” I said. “I was so oblivious.”
“Welcome to being a guy. We kind of live in a state of happy oblivion.” Mateo propped his feet up on a coffee table. “It’s honestly not so bad, until we get dragged out of it.”
“You’re just full of helpful little tidbits today, aren’t you?” I growled.
“Hey, she was so worked up about your big face-reveal that she totally forgot to be mad at me, so I’m just kind of reveling in the calm before the storm.” He grinned. “Trust me, it’ll go bad with me once she’s over you. I’m the friend who knew, and never told.”
“You were just being loyal to the secret.”
“That’s not something she’ll get.” He shook his head. “Anyways…what courses of action are you considering at this point? Do any of them involve flowers?”
“A couple.” I admitted. “But I feel like I need something more potent than shrubbery.”
“Never underestimate flowers.” Mateo shook his head wisely. “More wars have been prevented by flowers than peace treaties.”
“So, flowers?” I asked, hopefully.
“No.” he said simply. “She’s chuck ‘em right back at your face with a cutting remark.”
Congratulations Alejandro, you have just reached a jumping off point. This is where you make a decision that will change the entire course of you future. Good luck son. *salutes*
Poor guy, it always gets worse before it's gets better don't it. You might even say it doesn't rain but it pours…..
Woah! That is a desperate thief. Or maybe crazy…. wow. How odd.
It was probably an accident, there were about a hundred umbrellas in the dining hall, and mine was just a stereotypical black one. But it wasn't there when I came back out.
How strange. Surely you haven't made any enemies so soon?
No, actually, one of my pet peeves is all the lying in literature and movies. Why are none of our "heroes" okay with just telling the truth and dealing with the consequences?
I have no idea, but I have noticed that. Sometimes we are deceived in thinking that a lie will hurt the other person less. Sometimes we fear we will lose something if the truth comes out. And sometimes we tell ourselves that the other person doen't need all that laid on them.
