Speely stared at the stars, her owl Stardust perched on her arm. She shot her arm in to the air, and Stardust flew up, her white feathers gleaming against the night sky, as she curved in a beautiful arch, and flew back to Speely's arm. "Why doesn't anybody like me?" she whispered to Stardust. "I try to be nice, but everybody except the professers ignore me." She launched Stardust again. She watched as the powerful owl flew around, almost becoming one with the stars. "I wish I could too," she whispered. "I wish I could become one with the stars."

(i can delete this if you want,i just noticed that nobody seems to be replying to this thread)
Joey appeared behind Speely silently.He stood behind her and watched her owl fly around.His own owl,a barn owl named Storm,took off from his shoulder and flew around the other bird.Joey stood silently,his arms folded across his chest,unsure of whether to apologize for his behaviour in class or not,but knowing that Storm had given him away and the girl would turn around any second.

((it's ok, keep it))
Speely whipped her head around. "Oh, hi," she said. Did he hear everything I said? she thought to herself. "Nice night to be out."

"Nice night to be talking to yourself too,"Joey replied,smiling."Or drinking."He sat down beside her."Or both.One often follows the other.I'm sorry I was a jerk in class.I just blurt things out at random sometimes."

"It's ok. Yeah, so does Casey. I mean you have a reputation to protect. I might seem like a know-it-all, but really I just want good grades. I'm a perfectionest."

"That's never good."Joey said softly."No offence but,it's not good to try and be perfect,cause then you'll never be happy with yourself,cause you can never be perfect.Me,I'm happy if I have chocolate,or Butterbeer,so I'm always happy."He pulled a piece if chocolate out of his bag."If you try to be perfect,"He explained with his mouth full."You'll never be happy,and if you're never happy,nobody will like you."He swallowed his mouthful of chocolate."And then you end up talking to yourself and staring at the sky."

"Perfectionist means you try to be perfect.Don't take names to yourself unless they're true."Joey replied."And talking to your bird is still talking to yourself,even though I never directly said that you were doing it.I'm 12,I drink all the time."

"I talk to my owl if I'm not perfect. Go on think whatever. But would it kill you to stop alling me a nerd?"

"Yes."Joey replied shortly."It would.That is my opinion of you.There's no rule against voicing my opinion."

"Well why do you think that? Because I care about my grades?"

"Yes.Because you always need to put your hand up and make sure that people are aware of when you know the answer,and learning comes so easily to you,and you can sit still,and you can get good grades without even really trying while I-"Joey stopped short and looked tired."Y'know what,change the subject."

"While you what? I'm sorry about that. I don't try to be smart. I just am. I'm not trying to brag, it's just a fact. And I don't try to make people to know that I know the answer. I just try to get good grades. I kind of hate it actually. It's a curse."
