The Fountain

I have my eyes open.
And they loath me.

Why would they hate you so much?

Name: Marcus LeVoy
Age: 23
Appearence: Dark hair and olive skin, with dimples on each side of his smile.
Why are you searching?: Riches. If they can be the first to get to the water, then they can bottle it and sell it in a monopoly.
Note: Younger brother to Avril, older brother to Clara.

Name: Avril LeVoy
Age: 25
Appearance: Wild, curly dark hair and sparkling green eyes, with the same skin as Marcus.
Why are you searching?: To bottle it with her brother, but also to preserve her vain beauty.
Note: Older sister to Marcus and Clara.

Name: Clara LeVoy
Age: 17
Appearance: Dark brown hair and lighter skin than her siblings. Just got different genes than them...clear blue eyes.
Why are you searching?: Their parents are dead, so her siblings are her guardians, meaning Clara had no choice. She's secretly against their ideals, but is a legal genius, so Marcus and Avril are forcing her to help as their secret weapon.

Yea, that's what happens when I get a crush. I've never had a real one because I'll be like "He's cute but taken/a jerk/idiotic." And then I'm just over it.

And Rose, I'm sure it's not that bad. People don't sit there and start crap with you, right?

Ooh, I like it XD

Why thank you Jacky

Shall we get this show on the road?

Yay, Spired! Now let's do this. Give me one second...

Yes. Yes they do.

@Jacky: idk. They've hated me since first. Fucking. Grade.

@rosie: Well, have you tried turning things around? Making friends, moving on?

I've attempted to make friends.
but some grudges won't go away. And they won't leave me alone. I'm stuck with them. In two classes a day. I am so fucking done with it. Sometimes I feel like killing myself and being done with it. Cuz honestly, if you were in my shoes, you would hate the world and yourself. Cuz there's nothing good about me. I'm a worthless piece of shit that no one cares about and people use as a punching bag for no good reason. I hate school, I hate my life, I hate me, I hate the whole goddamn world.

Marlo: Sometimes when I look in the mirror, the Plague catches me off guard. The Plague of Eternity. Dante (the jewelry guy) sits on his throne of diamonds and bodies and pets my hair. Drinks in my youth like Dionysus' alcoholic. Whispers to me his empty pet names, his favorite of all "Child."
He hasn't noticed the wrinkles yet.
I stopped laughing so that the laugh lines wouldn't come. I let Them dye my hair and bleach my face with make up.
And yet, it's fake.
And yet, it's temporary.
And as I sit here at yet another country club trading diamonds under the table with a man covered in scars, I wonder how long it'll be until the Plague consumes me.

Maybe you should see someone about that, Rose...

Rose: I was sitting on my laptop, procrastinator fairies flying around me as I poked on the internet. I stumbled across an article about a jeweler announcing the were going to look for the fountain of youth.. hell, I might just go look for it myself. Amazing story idea.

Wait, are we starting from the beginning? Are people in LA, or has the "underground war" started yet?

Woah, woah woah woah. Honey, suicide is a long-term answer to short-term problems that will probably go away in time. Once you get out of school you'll probably never see them again. You could try to change classes, maybe? No matter what people say, you're not worthless, and you've just got to keep moving forward and live life to it's full potential Things will get better. Sometime's you've just got to look at the bright side and strive to make it brighter.

He never announces it. O.o

Yeah, where exactly are we starting?

And yep, this is back when everyone's still in LA. Rumors start going around. And brb.

I already saw a fucking shrink. She did nothing. Absolutely nothing.
guidance counselors don't help. Administrators blame it on me. Teachers send me to tthe administrators. No one. Helps.


@Jacky: I can't change classes. Im roped with them. Stupid Immersion classes. And they're EVERYWHERE. Every class I'm in has at least one other Immersion person. I'm stuck with them for the rest of 8th grade.

Dangit, here comes the hard part: character introductions. No idea about these charries...

@Rose: I think you're taking the bullying a little too seriously. Half of those idiots are just jealous of you, don't say there isn't a reason to be jealous. They always find a reason to hate people, mmkay? I got bullied last year, because I had been accepted by the "populars" and the losers of our school were jealous. But did I go and committ suicide? No. The bullies have stopped, it was short-term, and I'm glad I stuck it out.

Except its not short term. And I'm not popular. I'm the opposite. Ive dealt for 8 fucking years. And no one puts them in their place.

Then why don't you put them in their place?

Popularity has nothing to do with it. Everyone gets bullied at some point.
