Reaction to the book is exactly what I'd been hoping for — shock and AWE. There have been MANY threats of violence and decapitation made against me, which I thoroughly deserve for what I've put you through.
All in all, people have been very good about not spoiling it for others, but dear god, there have been some exceptions. A few things on the Facebook page, a lot of stuff on Twitter, some stuff on Tumblr, and one of the very first Amazon reviews has a major spoiler. I don't understand the need to spoil things for others or to seek out spoilers for yourself, and I really can't understand why anyone would casually mention a plot twist without realising it could ruin things for others.
Basically, beware of the internet, Minions.
But on a lighter note, Orla came to a signing on Saturday and she gave me a photograph of the cake she'd had for her birthday.
Check it OUT.

GOODBYE TO ANYONE WHO'S HEERRE!! :)
*floats back on*
Sorry, I went to shower, then I had dinner :3
English class... I'll be disappearing for a bit.
Then bio, I think.
I dunno.
This is stressful.
Anyone wanna help
HELP MEEEEE
I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS
*cries*
*leaves*
*waves*
I might be able to help.
Depends how distracted I am by my homework.
Hi! I'm at school and can only be here for 20-30 minutes, but if anyone else also happens to be here... Hi!
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Ari!!
Oh, wbd and msd.
Hi Missy!
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry I've been distant, and I've got to go know.
See you all! And thanks for a great night. *throws confetti and disappears*
Bye Helena!
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Hel! *hugs*
How are you, Ari?
I'm well, I suppose. I'm coming to hate school more and more, but it's not all bad and there's nothing much I can do about it anyway, so I'm good. You?
#ChaseforBook9
*shrugs*
I'm fine. Doing homework. D:
And I have no sugar ;-;
I ran out last night...
(Yeah, I have an unhealthy obsession with sugary stuff like Skittles :3)
Ooh, that's rough. I totally get it- I have such a sweet tooth, it's insane. I eat strawberries (which are already sweet) covered in sugar.
#ChaseForBook9
And I have M&Ms while I do my homework, and there's always ice cream in my freezer, and I eat chocolate and marshmallows whenever I feel like it because we just have those lying around, and yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
msd
#ChaseForBook9
YUMMMMMMMM :D
I think I love sugar so much because it kinda keeps me sane.
In a way.
Like, it keeps me distracted from the stress and stuff.
Sugar is nice :3
Speaking of Skittles, my partner for robotics snuck in Skittles in his laptop case (everyone has to have a laptop which we've bought from the school, and we have to take it everywhere except sport) and we were eating Skittles in robotics, and the teacher didn't notice. It was wonderful :3
hi:)
cant stay for long
Ah, stupid quakes. Stupid storms.
*huggless Lota*
*Hugs Eld* I'm not really mad, I'm just tired. (It's 1.07 in the morning) How're you? :)

*Laughs* You called me Iota! What kind of weird world is this? :P

Oh. *Laughs* I'm a little hyper and a little grumpy and a little sick, so if I say something weird just ignore me :)
Why are you tired?

Eld; I AM tired :( I'm exhausted. But there's a huge storm shaking my house, and there's moderate earthquakes shaking the ground, and it's too noisy for me to get to sleep right now.
*destroys earthqueaks and storms*
...i tried.
no you didnt
Oh SHUT UP you.
Missy; I always get that at school time :( One time I was so tired I fell asleep at seven o'clock and stayed asleep until seven the next morning :S
*Hugs Eld* It's appreciated :P
I'm trying to write the next chapter of the fanfic I neglected for months... I can't write Darquesse.
good luck Lota!
ive kinda rejected half of my fan fics...
oh yeah do any of you know what gracious and donegans powers are?
im so confused about them...
*throws pillow at Eld*
Idk.
I'll have to check.
But I'll email you it because pOSSIBLE SPOILERS.
I used to have this fanfic on my 'Words of A Crazy Chick' blog. But the blog was called something different then. And I deleted it because it was really bad and I was never going to continue on with it.
Eld; I know I've heard them somewhere, but I'm too tired to remember, sorry :( I think I might disappear now. Bye! *hugs Snow and Missy*
yes oops *catches pillow* sorry. i dunno if it is or not, but yes i suppose it could be... i dunno D:
Im too tired to know.
Thatd be appriciated thx cain.

INTERRUPTING THE SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAWAWAWAWAWAWAAAAAAAAAAAAA *zooms around in circles like an airplane*
AH GOD
SCHOOL
Surprisingly, I did rather well on that quest... *nods*
Hey Dragonaa
Hello Adra!
When you have time could you read my story?
I will-
Oh crap... I think I just ruined my chances to complete Mass Effect 3 perfectly.
I have done pretty much everything, all that's left to do is destroy Cerberus once and for all then do a counter-attack against the Reapers using EVERY fleet in the galaxy (going to be epic)... and yet my chances of succeeding are still too low.
It seems I will have to go on to multiplayer and increase my readiness rating, otherwise the war I'm about to start will just be an epic fail before it's begun. But if that doesn't do anything... launch the strike and hope for the best?
Batarian, Volus, Vorcha, Quarian, Turian, Krogan, Human, Random Insects, Citadel Defence Force, Asari, Salarian, a group of hugely powerful biotics and finally my own ship and it STILL isn't enough.
*grumbles*
Stupid Reapers.
*IS HERE*
You know how I lost my bus pass?
I have to pay for a new bus pass, and pay for all mt bus fares till I get it.
It's £3.25 to go ten minutes to school! It would be five minutes if I got a different stop which is less distance (by a matter of meters) from my house!
It's only £2.95 to go all the way to town!!!
So, yeah.
I SHALL BE MONEYLESS.
SOMEBODY HELP.
But I have a birthday soon so it's all good. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Um... Okay. I have made no sense of that)
Mbd- class
*Uh, that's returns. There and back.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Star! How are you?
And Adra - I have every fleet of every race in the entire galaxy at my disposal to try and take Earth back but the Reapers are still too damn powerful. That was the general idea :P
Ok, random silence.
I told you, I'm in class
I finished the new H.I.V.E. book.
Eve the ROCK said...
I once left my phone on zero charge for four weeks, and when I switched t back on, ZERO TEXTS EXPLODED ALL OVER MY PHONE AND IT WAS SO OVERLOADED WITH ALL THE LACK OF TEXTS IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN.
September 4, 2013 at 11:54 AM
*laughs* I love Eve. :)
ALSO . . . THERE'S A BOY IN MY ENGLISH JUST MOVED FROM SUFFOLK.
I NEED TO.ASK HIM WHERE HE USED TO LIVE!!!!!! HE MIGHF KNOW PEOPLE I.KNOW! D:
But he's on a different table so yeah. :(
AND I'M IN MATHS WITG MY FRIEND I WAD IN MATHS WITH LAST YEAR!!!
When we found out, we were just screaming and jumping uo qnd down. And our friend was just like woah okay calm down!
AND WE'RE ALSO IN SCIENCE TOGETHER!!!
Which either means she's gone down a set or I've gone up, because she was in set one and I was in set two. I hope I've gone up because I don't want her to go down . . . And her dad also is one of those YOU HQVE TO DO WELL IN SCHOOL paremts, and apparently if she doesn't get lkqds of As and A*s he'll make her move to a privwte school. :/
Plus me moving up would be good, but idk. I don't like it when people ask what set I'm in and I have to say set one. Because it's kind of awkward when tou're better than them at tge subject.
I think I may have gone up though. I did okay with one teacher (well, I did good, but everybody did good, sooo), but the other was really bad and nobody understood him or tried to wofk (and blqmed their not trying on gis bad tesching. Seriously, folks - science is hard, whatever the teacher. It takes effort to understand), except I understood everything (I'm hard to understand, so I'm good at understabdng other ununderstanfable people), so I got good marks so I was really good in that lesson. :)
So he may have moved me up because he thought I was fantastic. :)
But anyway. We have science together. It is good.
And I hace German with another friend, which is YAY, but we have double Gernan on Tuesdays with a crap teacher, which is NO.
And yeah.
#ChaseForBookNine
Lol well that was a long comment, Star. xD
Do you have time to read my story?
I liked it Dragona. It sort of redeemed the terribleness of Aftershock.
#ChaseForBook9
LOL Star *hugs* I'm in Food and nutrition
*party*
You have a class for food and nutrition? A whole dedicated class?
#ChaseForBook9
Trip, yeah. The story was good. Though the way they managed to defeat Zero was a bit well uh... convenient. I liked how everything kind of fitted together - though admittedly I was expecting Zero all along.
80 minutes, yeah.
But I am taking...
Literary Genres
American Literature
Forensics
Biology
Food and Nutrition
Geometry
Latin
Church and Sacraments
Europe and Middle Eastern History
Asia, Africa, American History
And a few clubs here and there
Trip, yep. I took it for a GCSE. It's kind of like the science of food, though you do get to make stuff as well.
For my controlled assessment thingy I baked a GIANT cake and made it look like a can of coke :P
It was wasn't it? But hey, still good overall. But you can kind of guess who the next villain will be. A clue, her best friend died and it was a main character's fault.
#ChaseForBook9
Church and Sacraments?
#ChaseForBook9
At college I'm doing only awesome stuff. Geology, Spanish, Chemistry and Medieval History.
Four subjects, hell yeah.
Catholic School
I have ten, Dragona.
TEN.
Probably the same for next year and the year after, but next year I'll get to take creative writing, SO
And what do you learn?
#ChaseForBook9
Penny. The next villain will be Penny. I noticed that too. But I think someone will try and rebuild Overlord also.
Yeah. He's not really like Derek, he's gonna keep making them while they keep making money.
#ChaseForBook9
Right now it is the beginning of the church. My teacher thinks that I'm atheist. She won't call on me, but I think I surprise her with my -unfortunately- extensive knowledge on the church (thanks to growing up in the South)
Yeah
Sorry for poofing. A sheet needed to be put on my bed.
@Dragona: I don't think so. :(
And, btw, I'll be distant. Doing stuff. *waves vaguely at real life*
So if you're all doing.epic fun stuff, I probably won't join in right now.
#ChaseForBookNine
I thought this would have been the last one. Like a counter-attack against the Disciples - an all out war. But no, it still continues. The entire story was based around a plan to defeat a SINGLE facility.
*raises eyebrow* You're not?
Also, I know a lot about all religions. It's all part of the whole not wanting to be trapped in my own little world thing.
#ChaseForBook9
AS do I- my mom and I find them intriguing.
Well, again- it takes a while to explain. I think that most western religions are... Confused, let's say. But if I were to believe in something, it would most likely be something eastern.
Oh gods the Spanish room across the hall is listening to Les Mis I AM DEAD
I stopped trying to learn about religion about five years ago. The more I learn, the more I get annoyed at it. And the more I learn the more it confuses me (because it SERIOUSLY makes no sense - it's SO contradicting).
So when it came to my Religious Education exam, I had no idea what to write. So I started saying the things that I actually do know - well because everyone knows them - like "love thy neighbour".
And I got an A.
Which I was rather happy with.
I like Buddhism. 'Cause it's one of the few that stuck with the 'don't kill' thing. Except for those African extremist Buddhists. WHAT?!!!
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* And it kills me when everyone of a specific religion is labeled because of a radical group.
UGH
It would be as if all Christians were called bad because of the Westboro Baptist Church.
It irks.
But meditation, energy, centers, chakras, all that jazz- my mom is studying it in college for ther Doctrate.
And thus we have really long conversations sometimes.
Its great
I like stimulating conversations. They're, stimulating.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, religions.... Are obnoxious.
What I think is that the world needs to be more independent instead of praying to a higher deity.
Honestly- but that is just me.
I WILL SAY THOUGH- my friends' family is Hindu and the other is Islamic.. It's really cool
Stimulating conversations, stimulating? You don't say!
*appears* hello
Hello Ed!
#ChaseForBook9
*steps out of puddle* hey trip
ED! *hugs*
Wait-
how are you here? I thought you were gone
well, i was gone but i got bored and now im back. for today at least
Oh okay. *nods* Hello, then
Why aren't you king of the penguins any more?
#ChaseForBook9
*nods hello then
because i faked my death. i ran into the past and that means there is a new king
...
You ought to write a book on the history of penguins, Ed
i could...
Sorry- moving to lunch, HERE
*jumps out from behind bush* UNEXPECTED ENTRANCE!!
#ChaseForBook9
hello aretha
Hey Ari
I hate fictional characters... -_-
...Ok, not really, but still. They're awful. I love them to death, but they're awful.
What I really hate is the public school system. I HAVE NO DESIRE OR INTENTION TO BECOME A MINDLESS FACTORY WORKER. WHY AM I WASTING HOURS OF MY LIFE ADDING AND SUBTRACTING NUMBERS BY 360?!?!!!
#ChaseForBook9
Hi everyone! I'm in rant/vent mode right now, just so you know, so feel free to ignore me. I can promise with 100% honesty that I will not mind. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Heh.
OH GOD MY GUACAMOLE IS KILLING ME
*throws Pringles at Adra*
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED INTO THINKING THAT GRADES ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT MATTER IN LIFE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE WHAT COLLEGES SEE AND GOOD COLLEGE = GOOD FUTURE. WHAT THE HECK?!? NO! NO, THAT IS NOT- JUST NO! THE PURPOSE OF SCHOOL SHOULD NOT BE GRADES, IT SHOULD BE LEARNING! TESTS ARE (WELL, SHOULD BE) JUST WAYS TO MEASURE LEARNING, AND GRADES SHOULD JUST PORTRAY THAT. IN 'REAL LIFE', GRADES DON'T MEAN ANYTHING. THEY DOON'T MEAN ANYTHING!!! THEY'RE JUST SOME LETTERS THAT PEOPLE MADE UP. SOCIETY AS A WHOLE BARELY MATTERS, AND THIS WHOLE PLANET IS SO TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT IN THE SCHEME OF THE UNIVERSE. LIVES ARE SO SHORT AND SO PRECIOUS AND WE SHOULD BE USING THEM FOR AWESOME THINGS. I WILL NOT MAKE A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY LIFE BY RUNNING AROUND WORRYING ABOUT TINY THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN IMPORTANT! I WON'T! I CANNOT REACH MY FULL POTENTIAL THIS WAY! I CAN'T REACH ANYTHING EXCEPT A STUPID GRADE ON A STUPID TEST THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. AOIFGAIOGHASGHOEAGLSDHNFEIORUZGLSDJF

*sets Dragona on fire*
Grades are just a biased number that in now way judges how intelligent you are
Hi Luci
*runs around on fire before jumping into a lake*
*gets swallowed by a crocodile*
hi luci
Hey Luciana! How are you?
Hello guys. c:
I'm good! Nervous, though... And very impatient...!
I BARELY LEARN ANYTHING IN SCHOOL! I KNOW TONS MORE FROM MY OWN OUTSIDE RESEARCH THEN I HAVE FROM SCHOOL! AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE I'M A NERD AND I LOVE LEARNING AND I WRITE ABOUT CHARACTERS WHO HAVE BEEN ALIVE FOR 531 YEARS!! (You don't even want to know how much research I've done for Niccolò. He has a very intricate backstory, most of which will probably never be revealed at all.) MY MATH TUTOR CAN TAKE ME THROUGH A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE ENTIRE YEAR'S CURRICULUM IN LITERALLY 12 HOURS!! MY ENGLISH TUTOR TAUGHT ME BETTER THAN ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER EVER HAS!! I CAN READ AND WRITE ON A LEVEL EVEN WITH JOSEPH CONRAD'S WHEN I ACTUALLY TRY. HE WAS PRETTY FREAKING AMAZING. THIS IS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE SOME NATURAL GOD-GIVEN TALENT, THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE BRILLIANCE OF MY TUTOR. IF I CAN ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH IN SO LITTLE TIME OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, WHAT AM I EVEN DOING HERE? I'M SUPPOSED TO DEDICATE A YEAR OF MY LIFE TO SOMETHING I CAN LEARN IN 12 HOURS? WHAT?! IF I WAS LEARNING AT THE RATE I'M CAPABLE OF LEARNING AT, I WOULD BE SO MUCH FARTHER AHEAD IN EVERYTHING THAN I AM NOW! I'VE ALMOST CRIED IN MATH CLASS THREE DAYS IN A ROW NOW BECAUSE WE ARE LITERALLY NOT THINKING AT ALL AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!! I CAN'T KEEP WASTING MY LIFE INSIDE A CONCRETE BOX! I JUST CAN'T DO IT!
#ChaseForBook9
School= Confinement= They control what you learn= No
I CAN WRITE A 6 PAGE ESSAY IN ONE HOUR, SUBMIT IT WITHOUT EVER EVEN REVISING, AND GET AT LEAST AN A-. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CHALLENGED IN AN ENGLISH CLASS BEFORE. MATH IS SLOW, BORING, AND REPETITIVE. SCIENCE CLASSES ARE SLOW, AND SOMETIMES JUST PLAIN MEMORIZATION. HISTORY IS USUALLY JUST MEMORIZATION. HEATH CLASS IS REDUNDANT, GYM CLASS IS THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE SCHOOL- EVEN MORE SO THAN QUIDDITCH. JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED. AND THEY COULD MAKE IT SO MUCH BETTER, SO EASILY! EVERY NIGHT KIDS ARE ASSIGNED HOURS OF BUSYWORK. WE DON'T EVEN THINK! WE JUST WRITE STUFF ON PAPER AND SUBMIT IT! JUST THINK OF HOW MANY AMAZING BREAKTHROUGHS THIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE COULD BE MAKING IF PEOPLE DIDN'T WASTE SO MUCH TIME BEING TAUGHT NOT TO THINK!
#ChaseForBook9
THIS IS HOW THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WORKS. THIS IS HOW IT'S ALWAYS WORKED. I HAVE ALWAYS JUST SHUT UP AND DELT WITH IT. BUT I'VE THOUGHT MORE AND REALIZED MORE AND LEARNED MORE AND I CAN'T TAKE IT! I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! I LITERALLY JUST WANT TO CURL UP AND CRY! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!
#ChaseForBook9
*nods*
English is fun, actually. We have a good teacher
I know- my teacher last year convinced me that I was an idiot. I still think that.
I can't do math at all- I'm so far behind because of my pre-algebra teacher a few years ago- she completely screwed us all.
SO yeah.
Last year was fun- and that uncertainty that my teacher gave me went into my other classes which was NOT helping with what was going on at the time OUTSIDE of school.
I've had some good english teachers before, and I've gotten some great assignments, and I've had a lot of fun with most of my classes in the past, especially english. But I've never actually been challenged by an english class before. I've never come away having learned something new. It's maddening to me, truly maddening, that I don't even know what I could have already accomplished if I hadn't spent so much time earning grades. I just can't take it anymore. I can't deal with this. I actually do want to curl up and cry. Yesterday my dad asked me if I was upset- which usually never happens even if I am upset because he's so busy with my brother (no, I do not harbor any resentment, or feel neglected, or anything at all like that). What I'm saying is that I was obviously, noticeably upset, which is very rare for me, and it's just because of this.
#ChaseForbook9
YES! EXACTLY! AND WE'RE ALL TEENAGERS AND WE HAVE THESE WEIRD HORMONES AND IDENTITY CRISIS AND THAT'S ALL JUST COUNTING THE NATURAL STRESS, AND WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER THAT ARE STRESSFUL AND WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE STRESS. BUT OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO GET 'A'S, AND TAKE AP CLASSES AND HONORS, AND DO SUPER WELL ON EVERYTHING AND TAKE A TON OF EXTRA-CURRICULARS AND BE SOCIAL AND HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS, OTHERWISE THERE'S SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH US AND WE'LL NEVER GO ANYWHERE IN LIFE. THAT IS JUST COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! I WILL NOT HAVE IT!
#ChaseForBook9
At LEAST once a week does school make me cry, so
ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS ACTUALLY DEPRESSED FOR SOME TIME. SERIOUSLY DEPRESSED. AND THERE WERE A TON OF ISSUES- STILL ARE, ACTUALLY- BUT THE MAIN PERPETRATOR WAS SCHOOL. SCHOOL WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT SHE DARN NEAR LOST HER LIFE OVER IT. IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS THAT EVER GOING TO BE CONSIDERED OK. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I CAN'T DO THIS! I CAN'T JUST SIT AND BE A GOOD LITTLE BALLERINA AND DO AS I'M TOLD WHILE I WATCH AN ENTIRE GENERATION LOSE YEARS OF POTENTIAL, AND EVEN WILL TO LIVE. I CAN'T DO IT. I CAN'T. I AM VERY GOOD AT SHUTTING UP AND DOING AS I'M TOLD- I'VE HAD THAT POUNDED INTO ME FOR 11 YEARS- BUT I CAN'T DO THIS.
#ChaseForBook9
Yaaaay America
I have to get out. I have to find some way to get out. If I keep this up- I know, I can feel it- I am literally going to drive myself mad. God only knows where I'll end up. Not even Tesla can make me grin and bear it anymore, and if he can't nothing can. I just know it- unless something changes, I will break. I will fall and shatter and it will not be pretty. I can't take it. And I mean that, I can't. If I could, believe me, I wouldn't be making this big a deal out of it. If I could take it, at all, I wouldn't bother all of you with this. I'd just keep it to myself, meditate a bit, go to Krav, and then I'd be ok. Or maybe not ok, but I'd make it. I cannot do this.
#ChaseForBook9
Saph, if you see this, and also if you don't, thank you. [hugs]
I'm not here.....
#ChaseForBook9
And... I'm sorry for bothering all of you with this, I really am- I've already chased a ton of people away, and I'm so sorry if I'm bothering anyone... I just can't take it anymore... I have to get out... And this won't solve anything, but I didn't know where else to go.
#ChaseForBook9
Leaving now, science class. Bye! And sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
If talking helps, then talk, Ari. Don't worry about bothering us.
Now I'm really not here... School.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Aretha

Em, if you're seeing this- WE ARE STARTING UP AGAIN
God. Society is just one big mess. If we don't all step up to the plate, it's going to stay that way. And by that, I don't mean a small group of people trying to stop the building of a train line that's already paid for who everyone knows are going to fail. But a whole generation. Not the older generation, they've already had a life time of it being beaten into them that they can't bring about change. It needs to be us. Millions of us need to bring about a cultural revaluation. In all our countries, it's the same. No one can do anything because they cannot, on their own, bring about change. And in their small groups, they can't do anything. This is crushing our spirits and funnelling us into long boring lives.
I don't want that. But how is it going to change?
#ChaseForBook9
You don't have to tell the truth about your description for the SP contest that's on right now, do you?

You don't say...
Society ought to change. It's getting ridiculous
Ah Trip, the fact is: every economy is doomed to fail. The human race cannot survive unless it changes its monetary system. BUT, whilst we all worry about money the planet is dying. And NO ONE is doing anything worthwhile about it. They think that money is the only thing that matters. Just because a potentially world-changing economic source of energy COSTS a lot of money, it does not happen.
They fail to realise that money in return for their life and everyone else's on the planet is actually a pretty good deal.
Did you enter the Skulduggery name contest thingy?
I'm American.
I'm also already in the book.
But you werent talking to me, right
I'm talking to everybody.
I didn't enter, Komodo. ^^
Ah.
Cos' see, I was wondering if you had to tell the truth about your description. Or if you could enter in an oc.
Because I would prefer my OC to be in the book than me.
I JUST SENT IT OFF, OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
(think I'm going now! BYE!)
BYE LUCE!
*hugs*
OH MY GODDDD AAAAHHH
"Hello love, what's your name?"
She looked up to see Liam Payne holding out his hand to her. Her eyes widened as she realised - it was here turn. It was time for her Meet and Greet picture. The moment she had been waiting for ever since she became a Directioner.
"Jane," she stammered, taking hold of his hand and feeling herself start to shake.
"Don't be scared, Jane," he smiled. "We don't bite."
She laughed uneasily, the nerves making her shiver violently. She had spent weeks freaking about about what she was going to wear, say, do. And now she was frozen to the spot, too nervous to move.
"C'mon, love," he said, walking over to... the rest of One Direction. She swallowed thickly, then swiftly followed him, smoothing down her hair.
"Hey there!" a chorus of voices said happily. She bit down hard on her lip, to stop from screaming.
"This is Jane," Liam introduced her to the boys.
"Hello Jane," they waved. She immediately became self conscious, and her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish's. These boys, these lifesavers, were smiling at her so widely she feared their faces might crack.
They came over and hugged her, and before she knew it she was sobbing hysterically.
"Thank you," she cried softly, "thank you for everything you've done for me. Thank you so much."

omfg Mara I'm in RELIGION CLASS
Religion class, right now?
Back.
I can't decide whether my mind is awesome or paranoid.
It happens EVERY time I go to town. I don't even mean to do it. But I feel myself assess where the best exits would be, who would be the most likely people to cause trouble - and if there are any, whether they're wearing clothing suitable to conceal a weapon. And then I kind of plan against it.
But I don't MEAN to do it, it just happens as I walk.
I'm weird.

GUYS QUIT MAKING ME SMILE IT IS BAD ENOUGH MY TEACHER THINKS IM AN ATHEIST
What's wrong with being an atheist?
#ChaseForBook9
Some of my best friends are atheists. Well, all of the. No wait, nearly all of them Myself included!
#ChaseForBook9
back, i have a really bad headache
Um, an Atheist in a religion class in a Catholic school.
Religion teachers here don't like atheists... Catholics can be strict about that.
I for one dont care what you believe- you should be able to think what you want without persecution
Hello Ed
hello again
I guess. Still, land of the free! Surely you can call on which ever of the commandments, sorry, constitutional rights that allows you to believe whatever without persecution.
#ChaseForBook9
I've never actually /really/ thought about it, but One Direction are so amazing. They've saved lives. Helped people get over things. Stopped so many girls from being insecure, cutting, and even worse things.
I'm proud to be a Directioner. I don't care what anyone says. I am a Directioner, and forever will be. No matter what. <3
#ChaseForBook9
Oh yeah- you are allowed to. But religion teachers just... Disapprove.
Land of the free? God. Over a third of the world consists of "free" countries. We're not that smart
We're not that efficient either.
That's why I'm either moving to Dublin or London
teachers hardly teach anything new
Adra, I have a genuine question. In America do you have to pledge allegiance to the flag? Someone told me that you had to.
Huzzah! Racial diversity and universal acceptance!
And gun control.
I love my little rock.
Great for you Mara! Really, I'm so happy to see you feeling so strong.
#ChaseForBook9
Yay cheese!
Also, the flag can't touch the ground.
Which I think is just plain dumb.
#ChaseForBook9
Eh, sometimes. Not like, every day. We used to.
America is so stupid.
WHY DOES THE FOURTH OF JULY HAPPEN.
WE ARE IN DEBT
SERIOUSLY I HATE THIS COUNTRY SOMETIMES .
WHY TE HELL ARE THERE FIREWORKS. It's an embarassment
I have issues with one or two aspects of the states.
#ChaseForBook9
-_- It's ridiculous.
I AM COMING FOR YE, UK
*jumps across the pond*
Well, you got to have your own country, that's a pretty big deal. We have fireworks on bonfire night to celebrate the aversion if a terrorist attack centuries ago. They're traditions that keep people happy.
#ChaseForBook9
Fourth of July for me is like Friday the 13th.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh god I didn't think it was true lol. I seriously couldn't do that. We're really not patriotic - to be honest we criticise the country at every chance we get.
Or at least the people where I live do. But we're awesome like that.
Oh, and one of our Comedians had a funny line when he did a show based on just owning the Americans. He described the war of independence for the Americans as a huge victory, for the British - a lucky escape :P
See! That is how awesome bonfire night is. It's a night where you celebrate a terrorist who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. And then you burn him.
But it's still a celebration of a terrorist.
But it's just the big deal everyone makes out of it
>.<
We don't even have funny accents or cooler words or a U where it is supposed to be.
Not to mention the stereotype that every American is overweight. Which we aren't.
But a lot are.
It's just- UGH
Adra, you have different accents. Not funny. But you always use the letter z in random places. ^^
[Shrugs]
You pledge allegiance to the flag in school, but none of the schools I went to ever did it with much regularity.
#ChaseForBook9
Actually, it's theorized that the accents that Americans have are the original British, and that the current British accent evolved since then.
So...
We still have it .>.
LOL FABI
*hugs Trip*
Yeah. Today some girl stole my money for the canteen and laughed in my face when she saw I had a 1D pencil case. She then took it and hid it from me. I got in trouble in Irish, English and Maths for not having any pens. Later on, I found out she had thrown my pencil case in the bin.
I came home, feeling pretty rubbish, and then I turned on 1D's video diaries. Ten minutes later, I was laughing hysterically.
Even though I get picked on for liking 1D, I still love them. They make me laugh and smile and... I just love them. A lot.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara*
that sucks...
Did you not find it at all?
Ooh, yeah, TV and hamburgers. What "every American does."
Seriously, though, it's hard to love a holiday when there are so many accidents, and an unplanned firefighting lesson.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, the Irish celebrate a saint who got rid of the snakes *shrugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Actually Americans play Call of Duty too. It's full of them. Even though they're like 6 and it's a game rated 18. Maybe it's the only game that they can play - considering it requires no skill.
So.
How's bout that physics?
And I didn't mean that Americans have no skill, just 6 year olds when it comes to video games.
[hugs Mara]
They're all idiots and need to improve their manners.
#ChaseForBook9
Not the Irish, the people who were being mean to you.
#ChaseForBook9
The American diet kills people. Reason why I don't eat red meat
Oops. I hate that when you refresh, it doesn't bring you to the new comments thread. I thought the entire comments forum had gone silent.
*hugs Adra*
I did, eventually...
But the thing that hurt most... Was my friends watched, and ignored.
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
._.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Fabi*
Mmhm.
Haha, I guessed.:P
#ChaseForBook9
Red meat tastes nice though. Mind you, America has no laws about GM meat. Wouldn't blame you really.
*hugs Mara tightly* Shhhh
*isn't really here, because I don't have time to be here, but I read through past comments and thought some more and this is my conclusion* *clears throat* I am going to change something. Actually, if I can, I'll change everything. I can't stand the way the public school system works, and I won't put up with it anymore. I'll wait a few weeks, see if anything changes, and if it doesn't, I'm finding myself a better option for education. I'm going to actually learn things, and learn them at my own pace- which is quite a lot faster than my school's, thank you very much- and I'm going to become some brilliant something, and I'll invent things and write stories and basically just scream at the world until it listens. And it will listen. People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. From this point on, the foremost goal of my life is to make people think.
