The end of the term is nigh.

[Alec draws out the pause for a moment, before he continues.]

And whatever other overdramatic bullshit phrase people like to use in lieu of admitting that you're scared that you'll fail.

Perhaps if you spent more time studying and less time talking about it, you wouldn't be so far behind that it requires cramming.

[His voice is an arrogant drawl; he's poking at people because it amuses him to do so, nothing more, nothing less.]

Just a friendly bit of advice. Maybe you can use it when you have to repeat this year again.

I suppose it is better to embrace your faults as they are.

[greenmoonrising]

Perhaps someday you'll learn to take your own advice. ;)

[foepas]

I'm very well aware of where it is I'm lacking.

[And that's too honest, too raw, so better not to let it stay there.]

It's easy, when there are so few areas to keep track of.

[greenmoonrising]

No one's flawless, you know.

Maybe if you just settled down with the idea that you might be, I don't know, a normal, human kid, you might be able to enjoy yourself a little instead of being caustic to everything that moves.

Also - I'm thinking of organising a study group/picnic of sorts by the lake on Saturday if you're interested in coming? See how we plebs go about our miserable lives? :)

[foepas]

I can't think of why you'd invite someone so obviously caustic to come along. Nor can I think of any reasons to go.

[greenmoonrising]

I'm hopeful you'll get some manners through osmosis and maybe even try making friends. :)

[foepas]

I can't say that I need to learn your brand of passive-agression.

[greenmoonrising]

You seem to have it down to pat anyway.

[foepas]

Perhaps I should give you lessons so you can move beyond relying on smilies, then.

[greenmoonrising]

If you insist.

[foepas]

I'm afraid my generosity isn't that extreme.

I think I'll skip the picnic.

[greenmoonrising]

Suit yourself, but you're welcome to come by anyway if you change your mind.

Good luck with your exams!

[foepas]

You can have all my luck, I shan't need it.

[greenmoonrising]

If you insist.

[foepas]

Nothing so pushy. Do what you want, it is your life.

[greenmoonrising]

Generous of you. :)

See you around.

[foepas]

That is fairly inevitable.

[Alec and getting the last word...he likes doing it.]
