I'M A HORRIBLE PERSON! I LEFT YOU GUYS FOR ALMOST A MONTH! I'M SO, SO, SO SORRY! I've been spazzing over Legend of Korra lately. Pair that with exams, friend drama, family drama, and moving, and you have a very apathetic me. Feel free to throw things at me via review. I won't even ask for them to be soft things.

Plus, I've been going through that faze where you're embarrassed by all the crap you've written and want to delete it all. My sister told me everyone goes through that, but I'm not really sure?

On a completely different note, anyone else freak out with all the site updates? I absolutely LOVE the story cover thing! I used a picture of my kitty, Cheddar, for this one ^.^

You alright? Olivier typed quickly, thankful for the curtain her hair formed around her. She'd finished her French exam in 15 minutes, much to her classmates' jealousy, and was now sitting in class, trying to pass the time until she was dismissed for lunch.

Stop freaking out. This is normal. Now leave me alone came Rin's reply a moment later. The older girl was in the hospital yet again, having 'fallen' out of a window recently.

Fine, sorry. I'd say I'll update you after the meeting, but Haru will probably do that when he goes to visit you tonight. I swear, you two are too cute! Olivier couldn't help the small giggle that escaped when she imagined Isuzu blushing and glaring at her phone, knowing she was right.

What are you talking about 'too cute'?

I'm French, psychic, I have a playboy of a brother, and read way too much shojo manga for it to be healthy. Love is my first language. Shit! G2G, Oyashi-sensei is giving me The Glare.

"If you have time to giggle with your friends, Fontaine-san, then you have time to wait quietly for the bell," a stern-looking man reprimanded from the front of the room.

"O-oui. Désole*," Olivier replied, using her curtain of hair to cover her embarrassed blush at the giggles and looks directed her way by her classmates.

"I swear, you're such a spazz sometimes!" a girl laughed, walking alongside Olivier as they headed to the cafeteria.

The blonde rolled her eyes, hoping the other girl would go away. Now she knew firsthand how Kyo felt when dealing with Momiji.

Her phone rang in her pocket, stopping her train of thought. Olivier quickly flipped it open, thankful for the distraction. She didn't even know why Ai was talking to her; she was part of the 'popular' crowd, and Olivier was one of the dorky kids.

"Yeah?" she greeted, grabbing a lunch tray as she did so.

"Well I was just gonna invite you to my end-of-exams pool party, but if you're gonna be like that…" Ai said, walking off on that note.

"I'm coming to bail you out! We're going to the zoo!" the voice on the other end of the line announced.

Marc. At a zoo. Where there were lions and bears and other things that could eat her alive. Not a chance.

"I have a volleyball tournament after school. I can't miss this one, sorry," she lied.

"No you don't. I checked that calendar on your corkboard."

Shit.

"W-well, I have my science test right after lunch, so-"

"Your science test was yesterday. Just come with me to the zoo?"

"I-I can't! I have to… visit Isuzu-san in the hospital!"

"Oh, how'd she end up in the hospital?"

"She, uh, well she fell out of a window."

"Oh mon Dieu*, is she alright?"

"The doctors said it affected her more psychologically than it did physically, and that she should be all better in a few weeks."

"I'm coming with you to see her!"

"Are you su-"

"Absolutely! That poor girl needs a friend right now, and I'm not going to leave her without one!" Olivier sweatdropped at this, imagining Marc bursting into the room in an Ayame-like fashion and immediately deflating when Rin said something mean, which was bound to happen.

"Well if you're absolutely sure, I could check the visiting hours…"

"Yes! You do that! I'll come pick you up after school and we can go from there."

"Alright, I gotta go."

"Have a nice day, sis!"

Olivier nearly peed herself when she heard the chilling tone Marc used when calling her 'sis'.

So... despite the fact that she's one of my favorite characters, that was my first time writing dialogue for Rin. Does it show?

Are you bored of this short, random, pointless (for now) filler after a month of no updates? I would be.

Is Marc being too normal after what happened last chapter? Yes, but there's a reason for that.

Do I know how many chapters are left of this thing? Not a chance. There could be 5 more or there could be 20.

Am I asking questions simply because I've been spending too much time on Formspring? Yes.

Do I need to shut up already? Yes.

Are you gonna review? You'd better :)

*O-oui. Désole: R-righ. Sorry.

*Oh mon Dieu: Oh my God

BlackWolfe: Heheh, sorry! Je parle le francais quebecois aussi! Mes amis francais dit que ce sond comme un cannard, lol :P I'm just gonna apologize for my horrible written French. In early immersion they only really cared about getting us to speak it, so I can't write en francais too well.

Girl-With-Phoenix-Wings: First of all, I love your penname! And I think it's awesome that you're learning French. It's such a pretty language! I wish I could speak Russian! All I know is Да, Нет, and Привет
