Okay, so I used Split Personality as my title, since I was brain-dead and couldn't think of anything else. Castillon's not going to get it, but whatever. I got all the points on my poetry folder! heart ^_^ And she "Menagerie"d my free verse, one of my haiku, and my villanelle. My sad, sad, pathetic villanelle that was sort of about Little Red Riding Hood but not really ^^;;; She likes my villanelles, for some reason. She Menagerie'd my submission that was a vill.
Ah, so last night when I got booted off the computer, I did not use that to my advantage and avoid working on the story! On the contrary! I started writing. See, not so convenient, eh? I worked! But I got stuck this morning, and I was having trouble getting past a certain point. I was glad NHS was very un-involved today ^_^ I was trying to write. And getting frustrated 'cause I had Zzanga in my head xd It's on my profile ^_^ And I found my dearest song, SaRangHae (translated, it means I Love You). That was my fav pump song ^_^ The music video for it is pretty sweet. I bookmarked it. But anyway, Zzanga was in my head, so I kept getting distracted by trying to remember the steps. I really need to drag Brittinie out to Clearview so I can have some competition on the dance machine whee No one else knows how, and they don't want to learn xp I only did because Kyle had tried to teach me (and failed miserably).
But I got past my mental block in physics! Sort of...okay, two things though.
1) Gabrielle's got a boyfriend. I did mention that in the original story (I think). So how does that work? She heart s her boyfriend. Seriously, I'm not seeing it.
(unless the whole thing happened earlier, which is why Gabrielle dislikes Sofia and why Sofia is so nice to her...)
which sorta leads into my question, the 2nd item...
2) Does that mean I'm Gabrielle? That makes no sense! I realized Sofia was too much like me, so I started playing with her character a little, adding some things, subtracting others out to change her. But she was originally me. My sapphire ribbon xp Whoever she ended up like was unintentional. Oh, look at that: my subconscious is playing games with me. Yes, no, yes, no....meh -.-
So, I'll type what I've got, I apologize for the overall poorness of it.

"Sofia, wait. Please don't go," Gabrielle pleaded. Sofia ignored her and continued stuffing her belongings into boxes and suitcases. "Sofia?" Still no response. Gabrielle watched helplessly as her soon-to-be-former roommate packed to leave. If Sofia left, Gabrielle would have to leave as well. She couldn't afford the rent on her own. She needed Sofia.
But Sofia was leaving because of Gabrielle. She had said some pretty cruel words back at Les Poissons, in the heat of the moment. Gabrielle wished she could take those words back, now. She wanted to say something that would make them go away, but no words could do that.
"Sofia?" she tried again. Again, no response. "Can't we talk about this?" Sofia whipped around, anger all over her face.
"What is there to talk about? You hate me; I get it. Let's not draw this out any longer than we have to." Sofia crossed her arms and glared at Gabrielle.
"Look, Sofia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things, even if I was mad."
"You got that right, Gabrielle. You screwed up big time, and now it's going to come back and bite you." Her blue eyes glinted angrily; then, she turned to resume her packing. Gabrielle watched quietly for a while. It soon became unbearable for her to watch, so she looked down at her hands. She saw that she was still holding Sofia's lost ribbon. She stared at it for a moment, contemplating keeping it, but she knew she needed to return it. She stood and walked silently over to Sofia and touched her lightly on the shoulder. Sofia recoiled at her touch and whrled around angrily.
"What?" she said, exasperated. Gabrielle held out the sapphire ribbon.
"You dropped this. I wanted to give it back." Sofia's hand automatically went up to her ponytail, and a look of confusion crossed her face as she realized she really was missing the ribbon.
"Oh. Thanks." Her expression softened as she took the ribbon from Gabrielle's hand, her fingertips brushing Gabrielle's. She tied the ribbon back around her hair, staring at the floor all the while. When she finished, she looked up at Gabrielle. They looked at each other for a long moment.
"You know," Sofia said quietly, "all I ever wanted was for us to be friends. I like you well enough, but you never seemed to want me around. I tried to be nice to you, but you always pushed me away." She looked sadly at her feet.
Okay, that's what I had as of lunch. I'll type what I wrote in physics, but keep in mind, it's very weak. I'll probably trash it later. Also, that recurring boyfriend problem crops up again. And will crop up again, at some point. Anyway. Picking up with Sofia's next line...
"I annoy you. You hate me."
"I don't hate you, Sofia," Gabrielle said. "Everything's been so hectic and stressful. I'm here, my boyfriend's on the other side of the country, and my family's 200 miles away. I've been lashing out at you and pushing you away because I'm frustrated and alone. You don't deserve it. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I'm so sorry." She paused. "Will...Can you forgive me?"
And then I need to continue on past that, but I might redo that last bit. And, my explaination for the "boyfriend problem": I like things to be clear-cut and as straight-forward as possible in stories (even though it's basically impossible). So him being at all mentioned complicates the whole thing, just by being mentioned. Stupid boy -.- *causes earthquake at Caltech* Okee, complication eliminated ^_^ xd j/k
