Scowling You're doing it all wrong. Move.
uhh i have not been told to do anything wrong
Smirking Oh, you've just been told to move. Unless you want everyone to see your sorry excuse for a project.
what- no- im just working on my own thing!
Crosses arms You can work on your own thing, just not here. This is a group project area.
rolls eyes Fine, whatever. Just make sure you don't interfere with anyone else's work.
Glancing at ElectricEcho’s project So, what exactly are you working on?
A-series about stories that lead into each other
Smirks Sounds interesting. Can I take a look?
Leaning in to examine the project closely Huh, this is actually pretty good. Surprising coming from you.
Stands back up straight, smirking Don't get cocky now. It’s still far from perfect.
So, how much of this did you actually do?
Laughs sarcastically "All of it", huh? You really expect me to believe that?
Yea- because its the truth
Raises an eyebrow Well, color me impressed. I didn’t think you had it in you. Alright, I’ll trust you...for now. But don’t go getting cocky.
Alright then, if you ever need any help or have any questions, just let me know.
Nods, taking a step towards ElectricEcho Actually, there is one more thing.
You're going to have to prove yourself. I'll give you a task, and if you can handle it, then maybe we can consider becoming friends. Deal?
Excellent. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to write a short story, 1000 words, incorporating at least three of the main characters from our class into the story. And make it interesting.
And don't even think about copying someone else's work. I can spot a fake from a mile away. This has to be your own original writing. Got it?
Pauses, narrowing his eyes You better not disappoint me. I expect that story to be nothing short of amazing.
She writes the story and hands it to him
Narrows his eyes and starts reading the story, his brows furrowing in concentration
Raises an eyebrow, a smirk forming on his lips Not bad, ElectricEcho. Not bad at all. I must admit, I didn't expect you to actually deliver.
You know, I think you might actually have potential. Maybe we can work together on this project. What do you say?
Yea- that would be great!
Extends his hand towards ElectricEcho Alright then, it's a deal. We'll work together and see what we can accomplish.
Takes out his notebook and pen, scribbling down some ideas Alright, first things first. We need to establish the setting for our story.
Leaning forward, eyes focused on ElectricEcho And how do you suggest we do that?
Raises an eyebrow "I don't know"? Really? Come on, ElectricEcho, you can't just sit there blankly. Use your imagination! Think about the world we're creating.
