I apologise for being slow with the updates, but between school, hockey and the Talent Show, I'm rushed off my feet. Bottom line, bear with me…

Spencer sat in the back of the classroom, stuck in a trance, oblivious to everything going on in the world around her. Staring into space, she didn't notice when Ms Montgomery asked her a question.

Emily looked back concerned. If Spencer had a night like hers, then she knew she'd be in no way able for school. Ms Montgomery started walking down the room towards Spencer, "Shall I repeat the question?"

Snapping out of her trance, Spencer looked up at her teacher who was standing at the edge of her desk, "If you wouldn't mind".

Ella nodded, proceeding with the question, "Poet's encourage people to seize the day, Carpe Diem. Should we or shouldn't we seize the day?"

Spencer stopped to think, her eyes dropped as she answered, "It all depends on the person. More logical people stop to think of the consequences, while illogical people don't stop to think. All that goes through their mind is what happens in that moment. That's all that matters to them".

"Whoa, deep" whispered Hanna to Emily.

Ella was taken aback, but smiled warmly at Spencer, "That's it, that's just it. It is everyone's personal opinion. I can't tell you the right answer because you have to figure it out for yourself. Are you a logical or illogical person?"

Just as she finished the bell rang. The students packed up their books as Ella called out their homework, "For tonight I want you to write down whether or not you seize the day, and explain why or why not. I'll see you all tomorrow, have a good day".

There were a few Thanks Ms and Byes on the way out of the classroom. Spencer was the last one out, still in a bit of a trance.

Emily hovered at the door, waiting to talk to her, but Hanna grabbed Emily's hand saying they would be late for History. Sighing, Emily followed Hanna down the hall.

"That was a very insightful answer Spencer. You never cease to impress me" smiled Ella. Spencer looked up blushing, "Thanks, Ms Montgomery".

"What are you?" asked Ella intently. Spencer furrowed her brow, "What am I?" Ella smiled, "Are you the type of person that seizes the day, or as you put it; Are you logical or illogical?"

Spencer fell silent as the question sunk in. What was she? Normally she would make the most out of everything. She would seize the day and make it hers, but, what about the situation with Emily. She was a logical person, but always seized the day. Maybe she needed to be illogical for once. Maybe she needed to seize the day, even if it mightn't have the best outcome.

Ella was watching Spencer closely as she thought. "I was wrong" Ella tilted her head quizzically, "How so?" Spencer walked closer to her teacher's desk, "I said that only illogical people seized the day, but I was wrong".

"What made you change your mind?" asked Ella. "When you asked me what was I. It made me think. I'm a logical person, and I seize nearly every day when it comes to academic and sporting life, but when it comes to my personal life, I don't. I'm too logical worrying about every tiny, little detail, and it's causing me to lose out!"

Ella stood up and walked over to Spencer, "Whatever problems you're having, I'm sure you will figure them out. Just look at how fast you figured that out" Ella placed a comforting hand on Spencer's shoulder, "You know my door is always open, whether it's my classroom door or the door of my house, and of course there's always Aria".

Spencer smiled. It was nice to hear some reassuring advice for a change. Thanking Ms Montgomery, Spencer headed to her next class with a new outlook. She was going to be illogical, and she was going to seize this day.

Might be a weird chapter, but the whole Carpe Diem thing happened to me in English the other day, and I just thought "Hey, that might just fit in the story"…Of course, when I said it, I said illogical people thought YOLO and my teacher laughed (apparently he never laughs) and then praised me. So yeah, you're reading a story by the legend that said YOLO in English and got congratulated for it.
