Alright what’s the queer community’s opinions on Klinger from M*A*S*H
And yes this is my favorite frame of him because I like how he looks and the fit is great.
049- Ma' am your child is getting vaxxinated wether i have to knock your lights out or not
I shall depend on you, for all the days fate allows
Mirror mirror why do you show
The train that can’t be coming that slow
I feel the rumbling under my feet, in my bones and in my teeth
Mirror mirror why do you lie
Showing me a girl when I can’t fly
I feel the ache, the tears and all I’ve ate
Mirror mirror why have you forsaken me
Why don’t you show me what I could see
I see your cracks and blood and flack
Mirror mirror what have you done
What can I do to make us one
I see them here, dead and free
Why do I see them in your face, but only death stares in my place
Hi! Op Loki here in the explain-inator! Welcome those who are curious enough to step foot into the ‘keep reading’ box! I suffer from insomnia and occasional hallucinations during said insomnia episodes, which often can be somewhat useful in helping me pinpoint which part of my mental state caused this little bout of insomnia. Recently (for when I wrote this) I’ve been suffering from bodily autonomy issues due to my education’s strict policies and many people demanding my time and effort for their own conveniences. I usually have a hard time saying no to these people because they’re usually closer to me, and it got to the point where it was like ‘hold on a minute, this is *deadname*, not Legion/Loki’. When I thought about myself. And, well, the hallucination wanted to highlight the unstoppable passage of time, my autonomy issues, and the inherent dysphoria that comes with being LGBT in general. And, to do that, it chose time, mirrors, and vampires. But who am I to question- would this be Apollo? Thanks, Apollo, ik I’m still new to worship, but this helped. A lot. And Ares, for giving me the strength to fight.
Xavier: We need a plan for taking down Magneto.
Scott, high off his ass from taking a gummi Gambit offered him: Chuck.. Logan- wh’t’ef-
Logan, who wants to be thrown as hard as physically possible for Enrichment™️: Yes, yes, good plan. Ignore the part where Magneto will just chuck me out of the way, we’re doing this plan.
Guys, before I went to make a change to my character Mortimer, but I think I ended up turning him into a furry
The drawing:
But then I tried to make Mortimer less furry and I think it worked a little, but even so my dad called him furry 😫
(next drawing I made a small change to)
(It's in Portuguese)
I really tried to make Mortimer less furry and I hope it worked.

Days passed by serenely, Rain was slowly getting used to the Academy’s schedule and closer to Tere and Patri; everything seemed to go smoothly, but since Rain turned into Constellation’s admirer, she just couldn’t help but sneak away to secretly observe them. She couldn’t help himself!
Rain had noticed something interesting while spying the group, though.
Ann Smith did the same thing, he thought that maybe they admired them as much as she did, or he was jealous of them, he wasn’t really sure, but he saw them snooping around.
Rain had slowly started to change her way of dressing, saturating her colour scheme, obviously inspired by Constellation, hoping they would notice him and maybe even adopted them into their club. Kind of frivolous and vain, with a bit of vapidness sprinkled on top, but an honest attempt.
Rain hung out with Tere and Patri, she thought they were nice, and he would dare to call them her friends, but their hatred and repulsion towards Constellation took them aback slightly. He faked neutrality towards them, she had no one else to hang out with anyways. Rain didn’t know that would change in a few days’ time.
The day was going by slowly, too slowly for Rain’s comfort. Rain was walking towards his locker, and while he was fixing their make up, they heard someone else opening their locker, this wouldn’t have been a big deal if he hadn’t heard a tiny, evil chuckle.
He tried to sneakily catch a glimpse of what was happening and saw Ann Smith closing Angelica’s locker. Only God knew what she had done.
Angelica turned up a bit later. Ann was resting her back against her own locker, waiting to see the events before her unfold.
Rain decided to observe the situation closely, sure he had seen Ann meddling with Angelica’s locker, but they had no actual reason of warning Angelica about it. Maybe Ann wanted to make amends and had left a thoughtful letter inside, as contra productive as that sounded when you took the evil chuckle into account, but she still had nothing to go on with her accusations.
So she stayed quiet and looked closely.
Angelica was about to open his locker, and seeing how Rain wasn’t going to do anything, Society took the front and intervened.
‘Hey! Erm, Angelica, right? Look, I heard the janitor saying that some lockers have been giving issues and that we shouldn’t open them and stuff.’ He mustered out, coming up with the best excuse ghost could in the spot.
Angelica looked at Society for split second with a confused stare before it shifted to a sweet smile.
‘Oh! I see!’ He said, looking back at the locker. ‘I still have to open it, my lucky leg warmers are there, and we have an exam, sooo..’ She trailed off.
Society got worried immediately, as much as Rain did, but couldn’t do anything else about it, so they stepped back and braced themselves, but nothing happened. Angelica pulled her leg warmers from inside, leaving Rain utterly confused and Ann absolutely furious.
‘What?! No! That isn’t what was supposed to happen!’ She grumbled, crossing her arms.
‘What? I- I don’t get it.’ Angelica left out a chuckle, tilting his head to the side.
‘You had to open the locker and-’
Ann closed Angelica’s locker and opened it again, a projectile of yogurt hitting her face and hoodie.
Classmates around them started laughing at her, but all of Constellation looked worried, specially Angelica.
‘Oh my gosh! Are you okay?’ She tried to reach out for Ann’s shoulder, but Ann pushed his hand away, standing up on her own.
‘Don’t touch me, mister perfect guy.’ She muttered, leaving the halls visibly frustrated.
Constellation and Rain were left confused.
The rest of the group tried to cheer Angelica up, while Rain stood on his place, not really knowing what to do next.
He was startled by Kitty, who got closer to him and started sniffing her shoulders, neck and lastly, his hair. Miau meowed in approval and Neon stroked their hair with a smile.
Constellation looked at each other, smiling with complicity, Rain was really, really confused, just as much as Society was.
‘Do- Do I smell bad or…?’ He mumbled as she sniffed herself, not seeing any issue with their smell.
The group chuckled and shook their heads, this didn’t help Rain nor Society feel at ease at all, they just felt more and more confused by the second, hoping for an explanation they just looked around.
‘It’s just that Kitty has the power to detect people’s supernatural abilities, you know, by smelling them.’ Candy finally explained, shrugging it off as if it wasn’t the wildest thing he had heard so far.
‘And obviously there’s something, you know, special supernatural about you! Even if you don’t know.’ Lolly added, twirling around Rain, looking at them up and down.
‘Supernatu- what?’ Rain mustered out, following Lolly with their eyes.
“Supernatural, you dumbass!” He heard Society yell at him from within, obviously irritated.
‘Ah, well,’ Rain talked once more, quietly cursing to Society as she recomposed themselves. ‘I couldn’t tell you, there’s nothing weird about me.’ He shrugged.
Candy visibly didn’t believe him, tilting ponys head and questioning her.
‘Nothing? Nothing at all?’
‘It could be anything! Any ability or talent, you know!’ Angelica butted in, her soft voice feeling smooth on Rain’s ear.
“Maybe this is about your good memory, but who knows.” Society pointed out.
‘I mean, it is easier for me to remember stuff, but I don’t think that’s anything mysterious or like, supernatural or anything like that...’ Rain rambled on, almost bumbling to himself at the end.
Neon spoke up, cutting Rain off with a bright smile.
‘You’d be surprised on how often we’ve heard that,’ they added as they wrapped their arm around Rain’s shoulder, ‘first, Angelica over there, then Candy, Lolly, Lesly and even me at some point.’
‘I told you not to call me that, fucking dumbass!’ Sam complained.
‘Lesly! Lesly! Lesly!’ Neon repeated, savouring every word that came out of their mouth.
‘Oh no, you’re going to summon them!’ Angelica giggled quietly.
‘Like Bloody Mary!’ Candy explained.
‘Yes, Candy, that was the joke.’ Lolly sighed, crossing his arms.
‘Ah.’
‘But yeah, jokes aside, the important thing now is to figure out your special ability!’ Angelica pointed out, holding Rain’s hand on hers. ‘And most importantly even, how to control it!’
‘And how do we do that?’ Rain questioned,
Lolly and Candy looked at each other and nodded, talking in unison.
‘To the library!’
Rain was dragged to the library by Constellation, ignoring the class they had to go to. Yeah Angelica had gone to his locker exclusively to get her lucky leg warmers, but everyone adored them, and Kitty could give the best puppy dog eyes (as ironic as that was), so they really wouldn’t have an issue.
While the group looked all over the library, read book after book to find something, anything that could give them an answer on what Rain’s ability could be, Ann was in the bathroom, trying to clean off the stains that her own prank had left her with.
Her hoodie was soaked with cold water, she had tied it to her waist as she cleaned her face in front of her mirror, and if you walked by you could hear her muttering to herself.
She was very forgettable, black hair, tired eyes, always dressed in grey or black, dark blue if she wore her jeans. No one really got along with her, which had landed her the “pathetic loser” label. Not that she cared, or at least that’s what she told herself, and others, if they even dared to approach.
She got out of the bathroom, still cursing under her breath. When she finally got to her class, she was met with complaints from the teacher.
‘Getting to class late on your first day, I’d be ashamed, but I’ll let it slide since you’re new.’ He shook his head in disbelief, allowing her to go to her seat.
Ann frowned, speaking up.
‘It’s not my first- you know what? Sure.’ She mumbled and walked inside the classroom, sitting down on the first chair she could find.
She didn’t pay much attention to whatever the teacher was talking about, much too busy doodling her “evil plans” on her notebook, all of them targeting Constellation.
Constellation, on the other hand, had already looked through all of the library’s books, and they’d found nothing, none of them talked about people with a great memory.
‘Are you sure-’ Lolly started talking.
‘-that’s the-’ Candy continued.
‘-only thing out of the norm you got going on?’ They both asked Rain.
He thought for a long while. Sure, Society existed, and there was this birthmark on her lower back, but they didn’t think that was too out of the norm.
Society took front once more.
‘Well, we do have a birthmark and-’ He was interrupted by Sam.
‘We? What do you mean “we”?’
‘Yeah, what’s that about? Lesly’s right’ Neon added.
‘I hate you.’ Sam muttered.
‘Oh we’re two people in one body.’ Society explained.
‘Wait, two people in one body? I’ve read something about that before.’ Angelica mumbled. He took flight towards the library’s roof, hitting her head against it, a bunch of stars jumping from the zone he had hit.
Rain was about to ask about it, Sam explained that it was something normal amongst angels.
‘I’m okay!’ Angelica told them as he grabbed a book from the bookshelf.
The book was hard cover, very thick and heavy, of an electric blue shade. Angelica put it in front of the rest on the table they were all sitting on. He flipped through the pages until she found the one she was talking about earlier.
‘Meteorology?’ Rain read the page with a confused look on their face.
‘You really think this dumb little thing is a meteorologist?’ Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.
‘Hey!’ Rain complained.
‘You know they’re right’ Society darted back.
Angelica nodded his head with enthusiasm and began reading.
‘Meteorologists are beings that can control the weather and can summon atmospheric powers, the most common characteristics between them are different personalities (each of them specialized with their own climate) and a birthmark shaped like their meteorologic symbol. Usually, they’re suns, thunders or tornadoes, but there have been cases of clouds, and even more rarely, rainy clouds.’ She finished reading and looked to the group.
‘Makes sense.’ Lolly and Candy nodded.
‘Show us your birthmark, Rain.’ Neon ordered.
Rain’s face gained a red shade, feeling shy and even embarrassed.
‘What? Here?’ She asked, feeling their face turning red.
‘Yeah, where else?’ Sam tilted their head.
Angelica rested her hand on Rain’s shoulder, giving them a reassuring smile, making him feel better.
‘Relax, we’re not here to judge you,’ she reminded him.
Rain nodded, he took a few deep breathes to calm down and moved away from the group a bit. She grabbed the hem of his sweater, turning their back to Constellation and very slowly lifted his clothing, revealing his birthmark to them.

Deep inside a small town in the north of Spain lays hidden an academy, which name, despite being Spanish, is “Cherrific Sunflower Academy”. Only the smartest and most special students get the chance to study there.
Our protagonist was luck struck, however.
Rain was a normal student, though his great memory has achieved them nothing but the best grades in his class- despite being quite the knucklehead.
Rain was the emo-gothic kind that made them stand out in the crowd.
They were part of a DID system, along side ‘Society’(as he liked to be called). They were polar opposites of each other, while Rain was quiet, shy and sometimes optimistic, Society was the jokester, arrogant and confident type. As much as Rain recognised Society’s job within the system and appreciated what he did for the both of them, they still thought he was kind of annoying.
Rain was ecstatic, he had been accepted in the Academy, not even Society could ruin her mood, he was finally ready! After a week that had gone by so slowly it felt like it had been a month long, everything was ready for their new adventure.
They arrived to the train station where she would be taken towards their exciting destiny.
He had meticulously chosen her clothes the night before; the blue sweater with the embroidered cloud on the chest, the checkered black and white skirt, blue and black striped tights and their trusty converse; everything was blue, it was their favourite colour after all, so much so his hair is blue as well.
She carried his backpack and two suitcases, and was very much lost, as much as he was excited and nervous to find their train.
After running around for a while and asking a couple of people he finally found it, rushing inside to leave his baggage in its pertinent place.
Once the whole ordeal is over, he sat down, letting out a big sigh of relief while grabbing her MP3. It had been a chore to find the train, but now she could put his headphones on and forget of the world around them.
Or so he thought.
‘What are you doing?’
Society’s annoying tone rang through his ears, making them sigh once more, trying to ignore them into shutting up.
It obviously didn’t work, it never did.
‘I was going to listen to some music, maybe even try to sleep a bit.’ Rain whispered as a response, she didn’t want anyone to think he was crazy.
Society and him had found out really early on after finding out they were a system that communicating with each other by talking out loud was better for the both of them.
‘Damn bitch, you’re a walking emo stereotype.’ Society snorted out, chuckling to himself.
Rain rolled his eyes and put his earphones on, tunning in some MCR for the trip, slowly falling asleep as the train started.
Five hours of a trip later, Rain woke up confused and disoriented. It took them a couple minutes to regain her composure, stretching her arms while he sat up.
The train had stopped twenty minutes ago and he was the only passenger still around. He grabbed their stuff feeling a bit dumb and rushed to the exit like a bat out of hell.
Once they were out of the station he found herself in front of the forest that hid the Academy.
“This is going to be a long day.” He thought after yawning and groaning.
He felt like had been walking the entire day, they could’ve sworn she had swallowed at least three of four spiderwebs by accident and they had to fight against so many branches. He had lost some of those fights, not that she’d admit to it anyways.
But when she arrived to the Academy, it almost felt like it had been worth it. Almost.
They were a mess. The bits of spiderwebs on her hair and clothes, the small branches and all the dirt and dust from the forest would take forever to clean.
“This is my favourite sweater too.” He thought.
Rain stepped inside the building, finally. She looked around the entrance, maybe expecting someone to show them around or welcome her at the very least, but everyone was way too busy getting to wherever they had to be to greet the new emo guy that looked like she had escaped from the set of Man vs. Wild.
‘Whatever,’ he mumbled, ‘I’ll find my way around.’
After thinking about it for a few seconds, though, it was for the best that no one focused on them, he hated being the center of attention.
With a newfound relief, they spotted the map of the school. Thanks to their great memory, they managed to memorise it quite fast.
She scanned it for a second and found the dorm area.
He was staying in room 313. Being in Spain that meant he would be laughed at relentlessly.
They got upstairs to the third floor, and then walked through a long, empty hallway to get to his bedroom’s door. She carefully pushed it open and slouched against it after having closed it.
He gets settled in quite quickly. As much as you could consider ‘settling in somewhere’ when he was just throwing his stuff around the room.
Once he was done, she decided to check the bathroom, he could use some cleaning after all.
The bathroom was cramped, or ‘cosy’, as Rain had tried to convince themselves it was, but it did the job just fine. He removed all the bits of spiderweb and tiny branches from himself and then threw them away in the tiny trashcan near the sink.
She got undressed and left the clothes in a corner so he could wash their face.
He removed her makeup and looked at himself in the mirror.
“Oh how cute,” he thought, “panda eyes, because of the make up, silly.”
She giggled to himself and cleaned their face properly, leaving the bathroom in his underwear, getting one of their suitcases and grabbing a big shirt from it.
He put it in and tied their hair up in a ponytail so they could began undoing their baggage, putting everything in place for real this time.
The room was actually okay, a good size with a private bathroom and one of those bunk beds with a small desk, shelf, chair and small closet.
After putting everything away, settling her books on the shelf, dressing the bed with his own sheets and all the gist, Rain laid down on the bed.
‘So, what do you think?’ He asked out loud.
‘Could be worse, I guess.’ Society answered.
‘Yeah…’ He sighed, they could be a bit more supportive, couldn’t hurt.
‘Now’s when the fun begins.’ She heard him chuckling, making Rain raise an eyebrow.
‘The fun? What’s the fun part?’ He questioned, crossing their arms.
‘Yeah, dumbass, the fun part, seeing you try to socialize and fail miserably at it.’ He cackled loudly.
‘Ugh! You’re the worst! I swear that-’
A soft knock knock was heard in the door, making Rain stand up immediately and open it.
After it was opened, a couple of figures was revealed;
One was tall, her blonde hair was short and she had freckles all over her face, the other one was more of a standard height, brown, curly hair tied in a messy bun, greyish-blueish eyes and had a small beauty spot above her lip.
‘Hi newbie!’ The blonde one greeted her. ‘I’m Tere, and this is Patri, and we came to give you your super duper exclusive tour!’ She explained in a way-too-excited tone.
‘Shhh, no need for yelling, we’re right in front of them.’ The other girl, Patri, said, she seemed way quieter than Tere.
‘Yeah, sorry, welp! What do you say, erm..’
‘Rain.’
‘Rain! Do you want to come with us?’ Tere asked with a big smile in her face.
Rain nodded, letting out a small laugh. He put some shorts on, tied her shoes, untied their hair and left the room, closing the door behind them.
The two girls showed him around, Tere pointed to the most interesting places, and Patri added more information wherever it was needed. After a long and tiring tour around the Academy, the three of them settle down in a table on the cafeteria to have a nice talk.
‘Hey Rain,’ Tere caught her attention, ‘have you heard about the legend of the Mary Sue?’
‘Oh God are you still blabbering about that?!’ Patri sighed, resting her head on her hands.
‘It’s fun! Plus, it could be true, we don’t know for sure.’
‘Whatever you say.’ Patri mumbled.
Rain seemed curious, and so Tere started the story.
‘So apparently a few years back there was this student here named Mary Sue, and it’s said that she was the best and people loved her, basically she was the most popular girl in school, but then, one day, she got lost on the forest following a supernatural event, or whatever, and people say you can hear her voice in stormy nights.’
Once she was over, Tere looked at Rain, who had a frightened expression in their face.
‘Woah, there goes the off chance of me going back into the forest, that sounds so scary!’
‘It’s, like, a legend, so don’t think about it too much.’ Patri added, rolling her eyes.
Tere’s expression changed from “Are you scared about my horror story yet?” to “What’s your issue?” while looking at Patri, visibly offended that she had changed the atmosphere from her little show.
A group of students walked in the cafeteria, all of them wearing eccentric clothing and colourful hair.
‘Who’s that?’ Rain asked, pointing towards the group with their head.
‘Oh? Them? People call them “constellation”, I think.’ Patri answered, crossing her arms over her chest. ‘They’re popular, people love them, ugh! I can’t stand them at all!’
‘Totally, I’m so jealous of them.’ Tere mumbled.
Rain nodded slightly, her eyes stuck on the group with admiration, he really liked their style, and their colourful hair was really cool.
‘Honestly I think they’re a bit weird.’ Patri said, putting her hand over her chest and shrugging her shoulders.
‘Hm? Why?’ Rain asked, finally looking back at the two of them.
‘From what I’ve heard they’re supernatural beings with powers- or something.’ Tere answered, taking a bite of whatever she had ordered before, Rain wasn’t really paying attention.
‘I think it’s all bullshit, not really realistic is it?’
‘You’re so boring Patri, always taking the fun from stuff.’ Tere huffed.
‘I’m just being realistic!’
‘What else can you tell me about them, Tere?’ Rain asked, their eyes following Constellation around once again.
‘Oh yeah,’ she began talking, pointing to every member as she described them, ‘Ángelica, they say she’s an angel, he’s really good at music and is the best dancer in school. The twins are Candy and Lolly, supposedly they’re both alicorns? Candy is the best at sports and Lolly is smarter, pony’s in the debate club. Kitty is the one with cat ears and fur, cat’s this mix between an anthropomorphic cat and a zombie, nya doesn’t talk, honestly miau is kinda cute. Then we have Neon, they’re the cool-skater kind, they’re also a boxer and has great gymnastic abilities. Sam, ugh, Sam is a very rude demon, always being sarcastic and mysterious, you get the gist, he’s really into occultism and some say they do satanic ritual thingies in the forest, but I don’t know how true that is.’
Rain nodded, quite a bit surprised about the whole group, very much out of the norm, he thought they were cool. He would love to be one of them. She looked at them once more, but then noticed a girl sitting in the corner of the cafeteria. She wasn’t really that noticeable, which kinda made Rain feel intrigued by her, he pointed to her and asked Tere;
‘What about her?’
‘Him? That’s Ann Smith, or something like that, she popped out one day, I don’t think I’ve ever talked to her, uhm, Patri?’ She answered and looked at her friend.
‘That’s it, basically, people don’t really close to them, they say she’s boring, so boring that you’ll fall asleep talking to her.’
They looked at each other and then at Rain, who simply nodded.
First day in the academy and Rain had not only made friends, but he had also learned about the school’s legend, seen the cool group and heard about the least cool person around. She didn’t tend to forget people like that easily anyways.

The two girls showed him around, Tere pointed to the most interesting places, and Patri added more information wherever it was needed. After a long and tiring tour around the Academy, the three of them settle down in a table on the cafeteria to have a nice talk.
‘Hey Rain,’ Tere caught her attention, ‘have you heard about the legend of the Mary Sue?’
‘Oh God are you still blabbering about that?!’ Patri sighed, resting her head on her hands.
‘It’s fun! Plus, it could be true, we don’t know for sure.’
‘Whatever you say.’ Patri mumbled.
Rain seemed curious, and so Tere started the story.
‘So apparently a few years back there was this student here named Mary Sue, and it’s said that she was the best and people loved her, basically she was the most popular girl in school, but then, one day, she got lost on the forest following a supernatural event, or whatever, and people say you can hear her voice in stormy nights.’
Once she was over, Tere looked at Rain, who had a frightened expression in their face.
‘Woah, there goes the off chance of me going back into the forest, that sounds so scary!’
‘It’s, like, a legend, so don’t think about it too much.’ Patri added, rolling her eyes.
Tere’s expression changed from “Are you scared about my horror story yet?” to “What’s your issue?” while looking at Patri, visibly offended that she had changed the atmosphere from her little show.
A group of students walked in the cafeteria, all of them wearing eccentric clothing and colourful hair.
‘Who’s that?’ Rain asked, pointing towards the group with their head.
‘Oh? Them? People call them “constellation”, I think.’ Patri answered, crossing her arms over her chest. ‘They’re popular, people love them, ugh! I can’t stand them at all!’
‘Totally, I’m so jealous of them.’ Tere mumbled.
Rain nodded slightly, her eyes stuck on the group with admiration, he really liked their style, and their colourful hair was really cool.
‘Honestly I think they’re a bit weird.’ Patri said, putting her hand over her chest and shrugging her shoulders.
‘Hm? Why?’ Rain asked, finally looking back at the two of them.
‘From what I’ve heard they’re supernatural beings with powers- or something.’ Tere answered, taking a bite of whatever she had ordered before, Rain wasn’t really paying attention.
‘I think it’s all bullshit, not really realistic is it?’
‘You’re so boring Patri, always taking the fun from stuff.’ Tere huffed.
‘I’m just being realistic!’
‘What else can you tell me about them, Tere?’ Rain asked, their eyes following Constellation around once again.
‘Oh yeah,’ she began talking, pointing to every member as she described them, ‘Ángelica, they say she’s an angel, he’s really good at music and is the best dancer in school. The twins are Candy and Lolly, supposedly they’re both alicorns? Candy is the best at sports and Lolly is smarter, pony’s in the debate club. Kitty is the one with cat ears and fur, cat’s this mix between an anthropomorphic cat and a zombie, nya doesn’t talk, honestly miau is kinda cute. Then we have Neon, they’re the cool-skater kind, they’re also a boxer and has great gymnastic abilities. Sam, ugh, Sam is a very rude demon, always being sarcastic and mysterious, you get the gist, he’s really into occultism and some say they do satanic ritual thingies in the forest, but I don’t know how true that is.’
Rain nodded, quite a bit surprised about the whole group, very much out of the norm, he thought they were cool. He would love to be one of them. She looked at them once more, but then noticed a girl sitting in the corner of the cafeteria. She wasn’t really that noticeable, which kinda made Rain feel intrigued by her, he pointed to her and asked Tere;
‘What about her?’
‘Him? That’s Ann Smith, or something like that, she popped out one day, I don’t think I’ve ever talked to her, uhm, Patri?’ She answered and looked at her friend.
‘That’s it, basically, people don’t really close to them, they say she’s boring, so boring that you’ll fall asleep talking to her.’
They looked at each other and then at Rain, who simply nodded.
First day in the academy and Rain had not only made friends, but he had also learned about the school’s legend, seen the cool group and heard about the least cool person around. She didn’t tend to forget people like that easily anyways.
