Devyn,

[danni]

Okay, so this is mostly me making sure you're still alive and well. I haven't talked to you in awhile. I miss you. And, before you sit there and blame me, by the way, it's just as much your fault as it is mine.

I miss you.

-Danni

P.s. I will keep bugging you until you respond, by the way. Me and my damn Gryffindor determination/persistence/annoying-ness, huh?

[Devyn Oberlin]

I don't understand any of your statements and therefore will not properly respond to them.

Thanks for nothing!

[danni]

What's not to understand? I asked you if you were okay. Well, not okay, per se. I asked if you were alive. Which you are. Which is good. Yayyyy for life and living and being alive, huh?

So, are you okay?

I don't quite

why the fuck do you hate me so much

I miss you, believe it or not!

-Danni

[Devyn Oberlin]

'Yayyyy for life and living and being alive', says the girl who attempted to kill herself? Well then. Okay. I'm sensing some sort of sadistic oxymoron here but I won't bother asking you about it.

Yes, I'm fucking wonderful as always! Why, have you suddenly decided that you care after months of ignoring me?

Stop crossing shit out. If you have something to say to me, then just say it.

[danni]

I knew you were going to say that. Fuck you. I'm trying here.

Haha, I'm sensing some tad bit of sarcasm here. Just saying. Might want to work on that. And I have not "suddenly" decided that I care. I always have. I've mostly just given up the hope that you're going to come talk to me about anything first. I'm sorry if you're not happy with anything in life, truly.

Okay, what I was saying is that while I understand that you haven't been very happy and whatnot, I don't quite understand why the heck you seem to hate me so much.

It's official. I think we might be the world's shittiest sisters, er...

-Danni

[Devyn Oberlin]

You're obviously not trying hard enough.

I don't have to work on anything. It's not my fault that you don't particularly enjoy my sarcastic tendencies. You might have thought to get over that after so many years of me using them, but I guess people never change. Odd.

What do you mean 'I haven't been very happy'? Have you gotten me confused with some other twin sister? Because I'm always happy. You're just delusional.

I don't hate you. You just want to think that so it'll be easier on you to deal with how you never pick up the courage to hold a proper fucking conversation with me, or openly discuss your problems.

CORRECTION: You are the world's shittiest sister.

[danni]

You're fucking twisting my words. It's okay, though, I'm used to that too. I meant work on being able to say that you're happy without using sarcasm because you actually are! Mostly, sarcasm is just hard to respond to.

And you're still being sarcastic. Fun.

Just so you know, by hate I didn't mean actually hate. That's a stupid and pointless emotion, hate. I just meant mean. And oh, I'm fucking sorry. What do you want from me? Do you want me to tell you every detail about my boring, pathetic, fucking useless life? I can. But it's really rich, considering even when we talked a ton more you never actually told me much. I'd ask, and I'd settle for what you told me even though I knew there was more because I didn't want to upset you or make you hate me or something. I'm sorry.

Yeah. I probably am. But at least I fucking try, okay. When was the last time you tried?

-Danni

[Devyn Oberlin]

Whoa, look out, everyone, we've got ourselves a real badass over here, calling me out on sarcasm and whatnot! THIS TOWN IS NO LONGER SAFE, TAKE PRECAUTIONS.

Hate is not pointless, first off. What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? I'm sure you hate tons of people. It's impossible to not. Right? Also I bet your life is a lot less useless than mine, so stop complaining.

I try all the time, clearly. I'd watch yourself, since you're the one openly using various expletives and yelling at me through a letter.

[danni]

That was calling you out on it? I thought I was just saying that you were doing it and I didn't know how to respond to it. You learn something new every day, huh?

I think it's perfectly pointless. I don't absolutely love everyone, of course. There are some I don't even like, I just wouldn't go as far as saying hate. I mean, wouldn't you want to give everyone chances and crap anyway? What's the point of saying you hate someone?

Okay. So this week I skipped potions on Monday to hang out with Rina. I went to the library to try and get studying done, but ended up running into Ella, and got no work done. Surprise, surprise. I figured out that I have a P in potions, met someone named Freya, and rediscovered that Cassie Lewis is a strange, strange girl. That was my week. The previous few were even less interesting.

Your turn.

When do you try? When do either of us try, honestly? Every time we see each other we end up arguing and/or making up some excuse about why we need to leave and get out of here.

Regards,
Danni

[Devyn Oberlin]

Stop with the trying to make me feel guilty for whatever the hell it is you think I'm doing. It's not going to work. I don't do emotional blackmail. You should already know that.

The point of saying you hate someone is so that you can be sure that you don't feel anything else for them they know that you hate them? I don't know. Don't put me on the spot, okay? It's not like I make a mental list when I wake up in the morning like: 'Oh, I'm going to choose three new people to hate today just for fun.' It just happens. I can't help it. People are the fucking worst.

I have a few rebuttals:

1.) If you were going to skip a lesson, then why would you skip Potions? It's so easy.

2.) Why are you still hanging out with that bitch Ella Creevey?

3.) Why do you have a P in Potions?

4.) Why do the majority of my problems with you currently have to do with Potions?

Okay, done.

If you really want to hear about what I've been up to, you'll have to hear it in person. I'm not going to write it down, that's just stupid.

Oh, so you actually pay attention to what I say to you when we run into each other?

You just signed your letter off with 'Regards'... I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

[danni]

What, but... what? I'm not even trying to guilt you. Trust me, if i tried, it wouldn't work. I suck at that.

Yeah, but like, I don't see why I'd want anyone to know that I hate them even if I did? They could be having an awful day and whether you hate them or not, do you really want to make it worse? I think it's apparent by my saying so that I don't actually hate anyone, huh? No, I'm pretty sure potions is the worst. In fact, if there's anything that I want to say I hate, it's my potions text book. I think I'll go do that...

That'd be funny though, wouldn't it? If someone had, like, a daily quota of people they hate that they just had to reach? I dunno, I think I'd find that pretty funny.

You have rebuttals? On what? My life? How can you have rebuttals on things that have already happened in my life? I'm so- oh look, there you go managing it anyway....

1) Because it's not. I fucking suck at it. I think it's the following directions part. And maybe the measuring. I'm horrible at measuring. And dicing things. Hey, maybe this is why I suck at cooking! And potions! Plus, I just don't care about it, you know? I don't see the point in a majority of them...

2) Because she's my best friend?

3) See my answer to number one.

4) Because I fucking suck at it.

Oh really? You want to talk about it over ice cream, then? Because there's some chocolate ice cream that is calling. my. name.

I'm not responding to any of this lalala

[Devyn Oberlin]

Okay. Just clearing that up.

See, here's your mistake: people like Sebastian Nott don't have awful days - days are awful for other people because of people like Sebastian Nott. You follow?

Also this is me officially daring you to burn your Potions book to release all your pent up frustration at the world.

It wouldn't be funny, it'd be idiotic and a total waste of time.

Yes, as you can see, I blatantly stated my rebuttals. And there's nothing you can do about it.

1.) Don't whine - I distinctly remember offering to help you out with the classes you were having trouble in, but you never took me up on the offer. You've only got yourself to blame for that.

2.) And she's also a whore person that I happen to hate dislike greatly.

3.) See my answer to number one.

4.) See my answer to - just kidding, I don't want to play this game anymore.

Kitchens tonight? I'm only going if there's ice-cream. If I show up and you're fibbing, I'll probably punch someone in the face. And no, that is not a recommendation for you to bring someone else along with you. If you do, I'll punch them in the face anyways. Just come by yourself and make sure there's ice-cream beforehand. Deal?

Hey, I'm not the one who embarrassed myself by using 'Regards'. What are you, sixty-five?

[danni]

Don't worry, there will be ice cream.

And if you happen to not be there, then the ice cream will go.

I love ultimatums.

We'll discuss everything else in person, yeah? Brilliant.
