Yes, it's finally happened- Adi Sagestar, the great Critic of Everything, has written a story herself. For all of you who have responded to my reviews with the argument that if I'm so smart, I should write something myself, well, here it is!
Disclaimer: Mine! lawyers mutter dangerously Mine? lawyers come after me with pitchforks Alright, fine! clears throat CATS does not belong to me in any way, shape, or form. Happy now?
So, without further ado, my story!
Sage McDougall was your average weirdo. She had shoulder length dark-brown hair which she normally wore in a bun, glasses, and was a quarter Indian. She wore mostly old soccer shirts and jeans, and never let makeup touch the surface of her skin.. She was obsessed with CATS in a very big way, was a fairly good artist, and read fanfiction a lot. If she had to be categorized, one might call her an athletic nerd. Currently, she was upside down.
"Hey, Sage." She opened her eyes at her friend's voice.
"Oh, hey, Emilie."
"Dare I ask just why you have been hanging upside down from the monkey bars for the last half hour?"
"It's some meditation thing from this book my mom got. Apparently being upside down helps you not focus. It didn't work," she added, making a face.
"Well, you should probably stop. You've been getting some weird looks from passerby, and your face is pink."
"Meh." She dropped to the ground, then got up awkwardly and dusted herself off. They walked out of the municipal playground together. She and Emilie had been friends ever since they could remember, although they were exact opposites. Emilie was one of the most popular girls in school. She always seemed to know what to do and say around people. She had curly blond hair and an optimistic attitude. Sage, on the other hand, was awkward and shy in social situations, entirely different from her normal self. No one would have thought they would be friends, but they were like sisters.
"Hey, where are we going?"
"We could go to my house and go on the computer. I found a couple more we haven't read." Recently, Sage and Emily had been starting a fanfiction Sue War. They would search out Sue stories, read them, and give blistering reviews under the joint penname of 'Critic #1 and Critic #2'. This had sparked many a nasty personal message and review reply, which they had responded to with equally nasty personal messages. They found the whole thing highly amusing.
So they continued on their way, chatting about what they would say in their reviews, the latest Harry Potter movie, and whether or not to stop and get some M&Ms on the way home.
Yes, life was good for Sage McDougall.
