The Thoughts of the Lost

Third Entry

OK, I need some feed back. How is it going? Do you like it so far? Any suggestions for prompts?

Austen's thoughts

Ally's thoughts

Jamie's thoughts

The next morning there was no counselor when they went in to turn in their books, barely avoiding each other. They were filled with relief, thinking that they were free for the day. That is, until they opened their lockers to a note.

'Don't think I forgot about you. I may be out for today, but I am still assigning you a prompt. Last night you should have done some soul searching. Well now choose one of your fellow writer and write at least 100 words on them. Try to really understand them. What motivates them? Why do you think you may have never really noticed them before? Really think. '

Shit.

This Damn woman!

Yeah, okay than.

That night, they wrote of someone they had never even talked to. Someone they could never begin to understand.

Austen

I suppose my subject is.. what's her name. The one who so bluntly said she didn't want to be there. Well, whatever her name is, that's who I choose. I suppose her motivations are to be as normal. I mean, she obviously isn't normal. I've never seen her before, though I guess I was ever really looking. She's pretty, I suppose, nothing like Ally. Ally has looks. She's beautiful, but I'm not so sure about brains. This girl I think could be beautiful if she tried. She could be noticed by, like, everyone. To be normal, that's what I want too.

I'm not sure if that's 100 words or not.

Ally

The football player. He's cute, but I think his motivations are like that of all men. I don't believe that they can differ. I think he wants to fit in, to be part of the cool kids, even if it goes against everything he might stand for. And the stupid prank that got us into this damn mess, he was part of that!!! So, No, I think he is so damn worried about his image that he doesn't care who he hurts.

Just like me. He knows that reputation is what matters, even if who he appears to be isn't him. Who he REALLY is can't be shown to the world, or everything he has worked for will come crumbling down.

I HATE THIS! I hate high school and images and being who everyone wants me to be, but my reputation is what matters. Austen knows that.

Jamie

Ugh, this sucks. A subject. Ally. That stupid girl who doesn't know a cloud from cotton candy. Her motivations are to be the biggest bitch in high school. To be popular, even if that means "pleasing" those damn dirt bags that she calls her boyfriends. She could be nice, know people who would treat her like an actual person. She's the perfect little Barbie doll. She says all the right things, knows all the right people, but she doesn't have a soul. Her heart is a black hole, devoid of all emotion. She's smart, so why doesn't she give a damn about how people use her? Is it really that important to be popular? I've survived this long, why can't she?

And that football player. He's just as bad! These people need to learn that there are things that are more important that REPUTATION! Like friendship, loving yourself. No way can they look in the mirror and say to themselves "I love the person I've become." I can at least say that I'm a person with a heart and a soul. A person should care about others, not use them whenever it's convenient.

These are the times that I'm glad I'm a shadow.

I'm sorry these chapters aren't very long, but please give me feedback on how I'm doing. And if you have any thoughts on future prompts, that would be amazing! Thank you!
