Omg go follow the actual god sophiemoons.
She is my literal queen I love her so frickin much!! I'll quit ranting we know who's really doing the planting, Sophie. Love you girl!

     Betty Brant, the hardest worker you, or anyone for that matter, will, or has, ever met. Grant it she doesn't have a real job, but she does work for the school newspaper.
Any way, so our story begins, Betty sitting at her laptop, writing yet another article, and her parents sitting in the living room, discussing ways to get Betty to break from her work, when they struck metaphorical gold. "Elizabeth! Honey come here, your father and I have something we'd like to talk to you about," Betty's mom called.
Betty frustrated about being disturbed, kept pushing. "Sweetheart, now," Betty's mom said. Betty rolled her eyes, and stomped downstairs. "We are having a movie night and your picking the movie," Betty's mom practically, squealed. "You made me stop working for, this?" Betty stomped down and practically threw herself at the couch knowing how stubborn her parents were.
She grabbed the remote and started scrolling through Netflix. She was looking for something that could relate to her work. "Hmm, Newsies, sure it's got news in the name." Betty smiled proud for outwitting her parents. Her father shrugged and she put on the movie.
—————————————————————————"That, was, the, BEST THING EVER," Betty screamed. "The romance, the plot, the theme, OH. MY. GOSH!!!!" Betty swooned. "Again, again again," Betty screeched as she hit the play from beginning button, and low and behold, she, for the first time, forgot about work.
—————————————————————————Betty started her day like any other day, but today, today was special, today she would meet two people who's string of destiny were tightly intertwined with her own, but just like any other day, Betty threw her bag over her shoulder and walked out to the bus. This morning she felt an awareness of her surroundings, feelings, and others. She sat down in her spot but looked around her. She had never felt anything like it. She wasn't absorbed in her work, and hell, it felt fabulous! She waved to a girl she had never seen and ushered her over. "Hi my name is Betty, what's yours," Betty said surprising even herself. "My name's Morgan, but you can call me, Mor," Morgan said timidly. No one new at the time but this was person one. This girl would determine Betty's fate, for better or worse.
