Chapter 10: A day at Casper High
Casper High, 8 ½ weeks ago
Thursday
They say that the mind can be fooled by what the eye perceives.
A series of illusions could mean many things and our minds tend to make assumptions about the world...many of which that could be wrong. Sometimes what you think you see is often not the truth...and what you think is truth could easily be a cleverly disguised lie.
Casper High appears to be like any other school you could find. It had it's strict teachers, social cliques, sports teams and regular teen drama you could find in any setting. The truth however was that the school had a long history of being a haunting ground...especially after the arrival of Danny Phantom. Now the school was considered a popular tourist attraction since the reveal that the popular world hero was attending it.
Danny Phantom was a complex topic for the people who knew of him. Originally viewed as public enemy #1 and later the public couldn't clearly label him as either threat, hero or just a complex vigilante. But over the last few months, the ghost boys actions had made the majority lose their original negative opinion of him and with his efforts in saving the world from the Disasteroid, any negative view of him was gone and now the people only saw him as the hero he was and has become a media darling.
The entire world now idolized him and the local people of Amity Park adored their ghostly protector, especially his fellow classmates. With the news that he was actually Danny Fenton, a seemingly normal teenage boy and son of the local ghost hunters Jack and Maddie Fenton, the public only grew to admire him even more and Danny Fenton had evolved from loser to most popular guy on the planet overnight.
However, even with the reveal that Fenton was Phantom, there was still some things that won't change in the high school and it was the cruel reality of high school status within the cliques.
With the exception of our beloved ghostly teen hero, the highest social hierarchy of the school was known as the A-Listers, a group of the most popular students in school who ran it like an organization, while the two most popular members Dash Baxter and Paulina Sanchez ruled it with an iron fist. Dash though his bullying and Paulina due to her looks, money and manipulation.
However, the truth was that Dash was merely a figurehead king and the true power was in Paulina's hands. Dash was merely the muscle of the group along with his football buddies who were used by Paulina in order to enforce the social order within the school, keeping the geeks in line and punishing those who they deemed a threat to what their group stand for. And Paulina watched it all from a distance as her little pawns acted in their assigned roles, where the geeks did her homework and anything else that was beneath her, the jocks switched between being arm candy and security guards and did her dirty work and her fellow popular girls were her loyal followers while the rest of the unpopular kids were just peasants in the eyes of their queen.
Yes, Paulina was a queen, a Goddess and the most powerful person in the entire school, she had all the students within the palm of her hand and could use them in any way she wanted.
The only thing she lacked was her king but she would soon fix that.
The Hispanic beauty queen in question had just gotten out of math class and was pleased that it was free period and she was free to carry out her mission without the risk of being interrupted by the teachers.
"Now let's get this started…"Paulina thought as she made her way to her locker, aware of the many eyes on her, her followers who admired her beauty.
Paulina was an illusion all her own, she was almost a legend to her followers who either lusted, worshiped and even feared her. Her beauty, wealth and power was unparalleled and all the girls either despised her or wanted to be her, while all of the boys just wanted to get in her pants.
All but one boy that is….The only one whom she deemed worthy.
Danny Phantom.
"Oh ghost boy..." Paulina mused as she admired his many pictures in her locker, she could always count on his beautiful smile to make her feel better.
She savored the warm, wonderful emotion he always gave her as she admired his beauty. She would give anything for that smile of his to be directed at her and not that abomination known as Sam Manson, she didn't deserve one of his smiles. That was why she had to complete her mission and save her true love from that demon in black before it was too late.
Thankfully the goth girl wasn't in class today...but the bad news was that neither was her beloved as well. Apparently there have been some ghost causing trouble down town and due to the school's new policy, her beloved could do his crime fighting and not have to worry about his grades due to some accommodations the school made specifically for him.
Paulina was pleased that the school board was being reasonable with her beloved but she hated that apparently Manson got the same treatment due to being his "partner".
'Not for long, once I get rid of that bitch, it will just be me and Danny, as it's suppose to be..."Paulina thought in determination and pictured herself ghost fighting with her beloved.
Paulina imaged herself watching her darling doing what he does best, watching him as he bravely and daringly fought those horrid creatures and heroically protecting the town, she saw herself cheering for him as he took down those bad guys and then giving him a great big victory kiss once he was done. She sighed and tried to keep herself from drooling as she imagined his lips but she somehow managed to snap out of it….Now was not the time to get lost in daydreams.
"Soon..."Was her last thought as she closed her locker and went to do what she needed to do to save her darling from that home wrecker.
While it was convenient that the goth only lived a few blocks away from her, Paulina had no desire to climb a tree each night and risk getting caught or breaking a nail.
The other night she made a request to Spectra for something to help her keep an eye on both her beloved ghost boy and that Gothic whore without either of them realizing it. She needed to keep tract of their schedules, their movements and whatever dirty secrets that bitch was hiding.
She needed everything she could get her hands on if she was going to take that bitch down. She needed something to give her both a visual and audio of both her darling and the goth, and be able to do so from a safe distance. Like a hidden video camera and microphone but Paulina knew she would never be able to sneak into Manson Manor or Fenton Works without help.
She knew that Manson's place likely had an expensive security system and guards just like Sanchez Manor did and Fenton Works has become a tourist attraction and media hot spot for weeks since her man saved the world. It would be impossible to sneak in without the risk of someone seeing her.
She couldn't but she knew Spectra could easily sneak into both homes undetected and find a device useful for such an endeavor, one Paulina was willing to pay any price for. Which was what she was currently doing. Spectra demanded that in exchange for her services, Paulina had to make at least a dozen students as miserable as possible within a weeks time, something Paulina was more than capable and willing to do.
Casper High was crawling with a bunch of social misfits, wanna-be's and emotional fragile losers who feared the A-Listers as they should.
Paulina's teal eyes slowly looked around the hall before her, all filled with young, self-conscious, and desperate teenagers who only needed a little push before being succumbed by teenage angst.
In her quest for her beloved's heart and freedom from the goth demon...No one will be spared!
However she had to be smart about her actions, she had to make this look like a typical day at Casper High, she couldn't afford her followers becoming suspicious and start thinking that she was up to something. The last thing she needed was for that to reach her beloved's ears and have him think she was anything less than perfect.
Her eyes spotted Mikey, the red haired four eyes loser who often did her and the others homework when he wasn't being used as Dash's personal punching bag.
Speaking of Dash...Paulina hasn't seen much of him since her beloved revealed himself...with the exception of class and football practice, he wasn't doing much of anything.
Paulina wondered a bit but then decided that she honestly didn't care as long as whatever was wrong with Dash wouldn't be detrimental to her plans. Still she was hoping to use Dash in making Mikey miserable...until she saw someone else who would be suffice.
It was Dale Miller, the running back of the football team and one of the higher members of the A-Listers, just below her, Dash and Kwan. Dale was basically what you could expect from an A-Lister male. He was tall, rich, good looking, popular and strong...He was also a nasty bully and he thought he was hot stuff because his father was the superintended, thus making him "exempt" from scorn.
Dale was stupid, stubborn, brutish and enjoyed bullying other dorks and hitting on the girls.
He was perfect for what she needed right now.
"It's show time..."Paulina thought smirking as she set her plan in motion.
She saw Mikey at his locker, obviously trying to get his books and get away before Dale noticed him. She walked through the hall to where Mikey was, trying to make it discreet so no one would think she was purposely trying to run into a loser and she pretended not to notice the guys eying her appreciatively and cat calling her, while the girls just looked with jealous frowns.
'So many boys...but only one you...'Paulina thought fondly as she briefly imagined her beloved once more and enjoyed the pleasant feelings he always managed to give her.
He was the only one who could make her feel that way.
Across the hall
A young boy named Mikey Baker, a freckled face, glasses wearing, geeky sophomore was desperately trying to get his things and flee before his predator, the dangerous football jock spotted him and either shoved him in his locker or beat him up for lunch money.
He was hoping that with the reveal that Danny Fenton, one of the few students who was less popular than him was really Danny Phantom, the greatest superhero ever would cause the bullies to stop coming after him. And while bullying has dropped significantly over the last few weeks...There were still some jerks who were still too stupid to stop and Mikey was unfortunately one of the victims...though at least Danny was kind enough to step in when he actually saw him being harassed one time by Dash and miraculously, it was also the last time he was bothered by the blonde jerk.
Danny was living every comic book geeks fantasy and Mikey wanted to something for him as both a thanks for saving the town...and for the chance of being around a popular kid who wouldn't bully him...he even offered to do all his homework for him like he does with the A-listers...but Danny declined and said along the lines: Thanks...but I rather do my own homework…
For some reason...It made Mikey admire him even more. However it didn't matter now since Danny was off saving the day and wasn't around to help him if Dale catches him now. Mikey closed his locker and turned around in the opposite direction where Dale was...but he unfortunately ended up bumping into someone. He fell to the ground and even his glasses fell off. Quickly picking them up and seeing who it was, he gasped as it was one of the last people he wanted to run into.
Paulina Sanchez, the queen of the A-Listers who was currently looking down on him with a frown.
"EW! I GOT GEEK GERMS ON ME!..."Paulina shrieked and it got the attention of everyone in the hall….including Dale.
Dale's eyes landed on the hottest girl in school who was yelling at one of the biggest geeks in school. Dale wasn't good at math but even his small brain could come up with this little equation.
Hot girl minus Loser bugging her equals a date with said hottie.
Dale grinned and made his way to the scene, eager to get a chance to have some fun and the chance to impress Paulina.
'What the hell is wrong with you?!..."Paulina said harshly while on the inside was pleased with her acting skills. She noticed Dale marching over here and was pleased that this was working out.
"I-I...I'm sorry Paulina...I didn't mean to run into you...It was an accident I swear!..."Mikey stammered and begged that this wasn't heading where he feared it was heading. He was proven wrong, he was suddenly lifted by Dale who was glaring menacingly at him.
"Hey Paulina, is this loser causing you trouble?...'Dale asked, though everyone could tell he was hoping for a yes for an excuse to bully the poor boy.
"Just get this loser out of my sight!..."Paulina ordered, giving the illusion that she was angry but on the inside she was smirking as she watched Dale shove poor Mikey into his own locker before slamming it tight.
The other people in the hall were going on with their personal business since this was a common event in Casper High. The A-Listers bothering the students with the lowest social status was normal here...and they knew better than to get involved with the risk of becoming the new target of their ire.
Paulina smirked once more, pleased that her little puppet carried out his tasked perfectly...though she was secretly dismayed with what she knew she needed to do now.
"Thank you Dale...That was very...helpful of you..."Paulina said winking at the jock, while on the inside she was gagging, but reminded herself it was just acting and part of the plan.
Dale flexed his muscles and gave a flirty face to the Hispanic beauty queen..."Anytime Paulina...If you ever need my help, just let me know..."Dale said flirtatiously and Paulina tried to keep herself from rolling her eyes and expressing her disgust at the football player.
"Remember...Its for the ghost boy..."Paulina reminded herself and gave Dale a flirty look which was as real as a supermodels implants.
"I may take you up on that..."Paulina said smiling, an observant person might have noticed the strange way she said those last words….but Dale wasn't very observant.
Dale just grinned and gave her a "call me" gesture before going back to his buddies who were laughing at the geeks plight and high-fiving him for "helping" the most beautiful girl in school. Paulina sighed and supposed that fake flirting with the idiot was worth it in order to get a real man like her beloved ghost boy. She quickly checked her phone and was pleased as she saw the misery that Mikey was generating being downloaded and saved.
"One down….eleven more to go...'Paulina said as she put her phone away and reminded herself not to send it to Spectra before the old ghoul could complete her end of the bargain. She was no one's fool, Paulina never gave anyone anything before making sure they didn't cheat her.
The rest of the day was typical for her, as she tried to filter out the teacher's boring lessons and focus on who was her next target and how to make them miserable without making herself look suspicious. The rest of the day she was attending boring classes, gossiping with Star and trying to find another easy target.
By lunch time she found what she was looking for. She and Star were outside chatting, or in reality Star was hyped up about some movie she watched with some dreamy actor and Paulina was giving the illusion that she was actually interested like a normal girl would be. They had already eaten their low fat, gourmet lunches their servants prepared them and now were just trying to pass the time away. In reality, Paulina didn't give a damn about it...No actor could be dreamier than her precious ghost boy.
Paulina was doing her best to give Star replies to her conversation while she quietly observed the school in search for a new target.
She soon found one. Just a few feet away from them, sitting under a shady tree was a geeky girl Paulina didn't care enough to remember her name. She was a brunette with braces, her hair was in a ponytail and she was wearing a hoodie and jeans. She might not be the worst looking girl in school...but she was definitely homely compared to the Goddess of Casper High and her loyal lady in waiting.
"Hello new victim..'Paulina thought sinisterly as she already knew how to make this girl miserable.
This girl had wallflower written all over her, and Paulina could tell that she was like any other teenage girl that was on the lower side of the school's social hierarchy: Social conscious, timid and wanting to be accepted by her peers.
It would be almost too easy to crush her self esteem.
"Look over there Star..."Paulina whispered to her friend, who saw the girl Paulina was pointing at.
"Isn't that the most ugly hoodie you have ever seen?...'Paulina asked and predictably Star agreed with her.
"Like, yeah...ugh...That outfit just screams bargain section...'Star said in hopes of pleasing the more popular girl.
"Hmm...It's disgraceful that such a disgusting piece of wardrobe is defiling our vision...maybe we should help that girl and give her some fashion advice...'Paulina said with a smirk and Star lost her snobby smile.
Paulina's version of "advice", is basically and not so subtly insulting a girl's fashion sense and more often than not has ended with a girl running away and crying.
Star always followed Paulina, especially when she was doing her duties as the Queen of Casper High, which included keeping the losers in line. Star however has been less willing to go through with it as of late, with the revelation that one of the former geeks she once looked down on was actually the town hero...but even before that there was a voice in her head that sound an awful lot like Valerie, it would appear during moments like this and say things like "You know that what you're doing isn't right".
Kinda like what it's doing right now.
"I...uh...I don't think it's really worth it Paulina...I mean why waste our breaths on that lost cause..." Star said with a forced smile, hoping it was enough to placate the uppity Latina.
Unfortunately for her, she saw the look on Paulina's face and knew there was no going out of this.
"Star, I'm surprised with you...Don't tell me...You actually like that horrid piece of fashion..."Paulina said accusingly to her "friend".
Star yelped and tried her best to tell her that no.
"NO!...No...Of course not...I mean look at it! It must have been on sale at the 99 cent store or something..."Star said with a forced giggle...hoping this was enough to calm the dark haired beauty.
"And you know what must be done...'Paulina said seriously to her blonde companion.
On the inside Paulina was trying hard not to lose her cool, she needed to make more people miserable if she was going to pay off Spectra and get the tools she needed to gain her beloved's heart. And she didn't appreciate Star's dodgy behavior as of late...She made a mental note to keep an eye on her. To make sure she didn't do anything that went against her policy or interfered with her mission.
She didn't need any weak links.
Star flinched as she saw Paulina's glare and gulped before nodding her head. She knew she was treading dangerous waters now...Paulina had the power to take away her popularity with a snap of her fingers...and the life of an ex A-lister was a life that one no one wanted.
Just look at Valerie. When she was kicked out of the group, almost no one wanted to speak to her due to how she treated the less popular students. With her ex friends deeming her a geek and the unpopular students hating her for her mean streak, no one would hang out with her with the exception of Fenton and his pals.
Star knew that she was risking a lot by hanging out with her under Paulina's nose. She couldn't help it...She has been friends with Valerie since middle school and she...she was upset that she was kicked out of the A-Listers.
Valerie was her friend...Not an A-Lister kind of friend but...a different kind of friend.
She remember that they would always go shopping, talk about boys, and shared practically everything whether it was clothes, homework or whatever. Valerie was also the only person who comforted her when she found her crying when her parents were going through their divorce and instead of making fun of her, Valerie sat down with her and listen to her while she cried out her frustrations...until she found herself feeling a little better and Valerie never brought it up again.
Star wanted to openly hang out with her again but she knew the risk was too big. She sighed and soon followed Paulina who was openly criticizing the unpopular girls fashion choice.
"Nice outfit….Sale at the 99 cents store...'Paulina said sarcastically and Star tried not to roll her eyes at the fact that Paulina stole her joke.
It wasn't the first time it's happened.
"I can see why it was so cheap….No one else would buy it..."Star said laughing, but on the inside she flinched as she noticed the other girl had tears in her eyes.
It was obvious she didn't find their "advice" helpful at all.
"Please leave me alone…."The girl begged and Star noticed the hurt in her voice.
"Hey...You should be grateful that we're giving you some fashion advice...you known before everyone else starts making fun of you for you're lack of taste...'Paulina said with a fake smile and Star was wondering why she was doing this.
The girls outfit wasn't really that bad...but it was obvious Paulina wanted to play her favorite game of "Fashion Critic".
And it was clear that she was not finished.
"My advice for you….Buy something that doesn't look like it was given to a homeless shelter and just maybe you'll actually pass for a girl….possibly..."Paulina said and that was it.
That did it, the other girl was crying now and ran away from the two mean girls, with Paulina retaining her evil smirk and Star trying go back to their previous conversation...whatever it was anyway.
All the while, she couldn't get the unpopular girls teary eyes out of her mind...or Paulina's sadistic ones which were currently looking at her phone as if nothing had happened
Meanwhile in The Ghost Zone,
At Skulker Island
Deep within the Ghost Zone, far away from the entrance of the Fenton Ghost Portal. A certain wicked female ghost was on her way to Skulker island in order to settle some important business.
"Alright Spectra, it's game time…."She whispered to herself as she arrived to the floating island and wasn't surprised to see that it was deserted.
She knew that at this time Skulker was off hunting and he wasn't smart enough to update the security in his realm. It was easy for her to sneak pass the many booby traps he left all over the place and enter his Skull-like domain.
Her nose crinkled as she eyed his home, and mentally criticism his lack of taste. The interior of Skulker's skull shaped house was basically like a hunting lodge, and all his so called "decorations" were just the many pelts he somehow acquired over the years along with a portrait of the hunter in question hanging over the fire place.
"You really need to trade up Ember..."Spectra sighed to herself as she thought about her acquaintance, the diva ghost girl that for some reason was in an on-off relationship with the brute.
Why? She didn't know and likely never will. Spectra soon searched the living room in hopes of finding something useful for her.
"Now where is his computer?…"Spectra muttered as she searched his home for her prize.
It was no secret that Skulker made deals with other ghosts, such as Vlad Plasmius, who was also the one she needed information on...or more specifically where his remaining hide outs were. She needed some of Plasmius's old technology if she was going to complete her task. Paulina was demanding for something surveillance device she could sneak into both Phantom and his little girlfriends home to spy on them….and if any ghost had a device like that, it would be Vlad.
Everyone knew that Vlad was obsessed with Phantom from the get-go and stalked him constantly, going on and on about his desire to have him as his son and heir to his legacy. If it wasn't for the fact that Plasmius was openly lusting for the brat's crazy, ghost hating mother for decades, she would have suspected he might have had other reasons for his fixation with the boy.
Anyway, she needed one of Vlad's old toys if she was going to satisfy her little partner and get her payment. Spectra knew that all of Vlad's properties and labs were shut down by the government but she also knew that human's were stupid, slow, gullible creatures and Plasmius was as clever as he was vile. It was obvious he likely had some top secret bases that were still unknown to the human world...some of which that were probably in the very Ghost Zone itself. And if any ghost would know where they were, it would be Skulker, which was why she was sneaking in his home to find the information she needed.
The reason for her sneaking was that...Spectra and the Hunter didn't exactly see eye to eye and she knew he wouldn't just give her the information she needed on Plasmius's properties, which was why she was doing this.
Spectra snuck around the hunter's lodge in hopes of finding a computer, a file cabinet...anything that would be of use to her right now. Spectra entered what she assumed was Skulker's room and tried to hold back a laugh as she saw a badly written sign that pointed to the foot of his bed which read "Where to put the whelp's pelt".
She managed to control herself and made a mental note to mock it later. She exited the room and almost gave up until she found another door that said "LAB" in big, bold letters.
"Well, this looks promising..."Spectra said as she entered and formed an evil grin as she eyed the laboratory and saw the large computer….filled with all the valuable information she needed.
"Okay Technus, let's see if you weren't a waste of time..."Spectra said as she pulled out a small device she bought from Technus, it resembled a junk drive which he said would help her steal any information from any computer without being detected.
Despite how annoying he could be, Technus was useful and she knew she needed his skills if she wanted to complete her task and keep her deal with the Paulina…as well as having a large, heaping plate of delicious misery delivered to her.
Yesterday she went to Technus and enlisted his services and asked if he had anything that was good for sneaking private information without being caught and she shouldn't have been surprised to see he already had something like that among his many gadgets. He called it the "Parasite", which was meant to enter and steal any personal information from any computer….including Skulker's.
Spectra was mildly surprised but pleased with how magnanimous he was being when she made her request and his agreement to be quiet about it. Apparently Technus still held a big grudge on Skulker for stealing some of his technology in the past and he was more than happy to help return the favor. While she didn't want anyone else knowing her involvement in human affairs again, especially with the risk of some of Phantom's ghost buddies getting wind of it and tattling to the goody-goody ghost brat, she knew she could trust Technus to keep his mouth shut about this...for a price that is.
Money was Technus's second love, right after technology itself….and Spectra didn't mind, especially since it was coming from Paulina's little pockets.
That girl really seemed to want that Phantom boy and looked like she would do anything to be with him.
Spectra was very interested in seeing just how far that girl was willing to go.
Placing the junk drive like device on the computer, Spectra waited for the information to be downloaded and smirked at how easy this was.
"Like taking candy from a baby...A big, stupid, metallic brute of a baby who can't hunt to save his own afterlife..."Spectra thought smugly and grinned when the download was complete.
She soon left the lodge and the island all together, with renewed determination as she returned to her own realm, the thrill of her theft and the excitement of her reward making her feel so invigorated at the moment.
Spectra soon arrived to her own realm, which was essentially resembled an expensive penthouse, including a walk-in closet, a spa bath and many other thing's you would expect in a home like that.
"Now let's see what we have here..."Spectra said as she held the device and pushed the button, just as Technus had instructed her to do.
Suddenly a holographic image of Technus appeared, or his virtual appearance anyway.
"Hello...If you want to search for anything hip and funky fresh just speak what it is you seek and I, The Parasite, a device made by TECHNUS! Master of all things technological and radical will find it for you..."The robotic voice that was identical to it's creator's and Spectra rolled her eyes and tried to keep herself from crushing the annoying thing.
Even Technus's gadgets were as out of date and long winded as he is.
"I need any information about the locations of any secret bases, labs and other properties owned by Vlad Plasmius, both here in the ghost zone and in the human world….Spectra ordered to the device before recalling an important detail.
"And it has to be one that hasn't been destroyed yet..."Spectra said quickly and saw the image of Technus's face replaced with the "loading" symbol you'd see on any computer.
After what felt like an eternity, it stopped and the virtual Technus returned, which she hoped was a good thing.
"The data indicates that the closest property owned by Vlad Plasmius that hasn't been decommissioned yet is a secret base a few yards north of Carnivorous Canyon…."The device said in it's monotone voice and Spectra smirked.
Figure's Plasmius would have a property in one of the most dangerous parts in the zone...away from all the meddlesome pests so to not disrupt his work.
"I guess you weren't completely useless after all ,Technus..."Spectra thought snidely as she thought about the green skinned tech ghost who seriously needed to get with the 21st century.
Spectra was aware that she could have easily just asked Technus to make the spying gadgets she needed...but she also knew that it would have taken too long and it wouldn't have been as exciting as this was.
Besides she didn't want to listen to Technus's stupid lingo and long winded speeches about his "greatness" any longer than she needed to. Just because she had to do this little job for the teen brat doesn't mean she couldn't have a little fun along the way...especially now that had a destination to go to.
Carnivorous Canyon was about a two day trip from her realm and she was sure that by the time she got back, her little accomplice would have her payment ready and waiting for her.
"Okay, Carnivorous Canyon, here I come..."Spectra said as she felt her realm and made her way to her new destination. Feeling a mixture of thrills, excitement and sadistic pleasure swell within her as her little game continued.
A game she was determined to make Phantom lose at all costs.
To be continued
Next time on Yandere Simulator: Paulina edition
Spectra's errand
A/N: I suppose it's been a while (over two weeks) since I last updated, this is my longest chapter here yet so I hope it makes up for it. Thanks for your patience everyone ;)
A/N(2): Chapter edited on 08/03/2017
REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewers:
I'd like to give a big thanks to Joggerwriting for giving me the idea of Paulina dissing some students to make them miserable and who was also the inspiration for Paulina's "flirting" in this scene. You're the best JW ;) And also thanks you for the praise about my use of Spectra...It flatters me so :)
Imekitty: Thank you very much.
Roseappleslovesflowers: You're welcome
Guest: This is about as much as I plan on using Technus….for now at least.
I'll keep the idea of the robots in mind, also I suppose it is a bit ironic but you have to admit Sam prides herself in her individuality above all else. It's one thing to try and get people to join a cause you think is worthy (which for her is anything eco-friendly) but it's another to watch people literally dress and act like you (something that goes against her "individuality"). So I still see her getting annoyed watching people copy her style...but that's my theory anyway.
As for Sam's parents, remember this was from Paulina's POV….I still see them as being a bit snobby but I do theorize that they do love their child and I credit you for your good point...they might have more in common with Sam than either realize...just different interests is all...you made a very good point there.
Till next time everyone, don't forget to review :)
