Ooooh, two new fics in two days - I'm on a roll, huh? I've had all these ideas just swirling around in my brain forever now and I just got a laptop for Christmas so I've got the chance to get all of them out. Good thing, too; I need to get all the old ideas out so I'll have room for new ones. Anyway, this one is different from all the other fics I've posted in that it's in an AU. My first posted AU, actually. Also, it'll be told partially in journal entries. You'll know it's a journal entry because the name of the chapter will be a date. I'm not going to tell you whose journal this first one is from; I want you guys to guess. It should be fairly obvious, though. Just sayin'. So... Enjoy!

Here's the thing about being a teenager: No one takes you seriously. Like, at all. Top student, 4.0 GPA, class president, clean driving record, never arrested, never missed a day of school even when you were dying of the flu, holding down a part-time job, baby-sitting for whoever the hell, doing volunteer work - fine, whatever. You think that automatically means adults trust you, think you're responsible, take you serious enough to let you rule your own life? Fuck no.

They'll let you do all that goody-goody shit, give you a chance to prove them wrong, but you can be damn sure there's an audience watching with popcorn and soda, waiting for you to make one little mistake so they can say, "See? All teenagers are morons who will fuck up! You can't trust them! Even the "good" ones!" And then you're done. They'll never let you live it down.

Adults are the enemy. High school is boot camp. We go, learn the tricks of the trade so we can infiltrate their ranks and hopefully maintain our identities in the process. It never works, though. Once we're among them too long... Well, we become them. So yeah, high school sucks, but at least we're among our own kind, at least we're united against a common enemy. At least we're not them. Not yet.

So...

They don't trust us; we don't trust them. We stay close, we unite, we respect ourselves enough to take one another seriously, and we try to ignore the tick-tick of our count-down clocks into adulthood.

If they don't have to take us seriously, we don't have to take reality seriously. They get to be ignorant dicks; so do we. And we get to be childishly oblivious. At least for a little while longer.

Fuck adults.


Hmm, so who do you think this is? I think it's pretty obvious, but let's be honest, I wrote it, so of course I think it's obvious. What about you guys? Do you think you know who it is? Let me know in a review then!

And be sure to let me know what you think!

Peace out,
