4. Detention (no puns allowed)
the school year's barely begun and i've already landed in detention
i mean it is kinda my fault and at least the guidance counselor here is better than Mr. Frond was
[some time later, she adds:]
And i just got 2 days tacked on for being caught on my device
so I guess my point is I'm full of all this frustration and aggression & I'm not used to feeling this way so how do i try and burn it off?

Yeah. I guess I need to just give myself time to work through it, right? And maybe stop lashing out because I'm feeling confused. I can't change what happened, but I can change how I deal with it.
no subject
You're a smart kid, Tina. You got this on lock.
[archie leans back, watching mightyena as it leans into tina for the pets.]
But how you reacted wasn't bad, ya know. It's a lot to take in for me too, and no offence, but you're a kid. I can't imagine how confused you must be.
no subject
Confused and scared and... angry. Like, I keep wondering, why me? Out of all people to be brought to this world, why ME? I'm not a superhero. I don't cause trouble. I'm going to feel bad for getting detention for the next week, at least. So why bring me here then hit me with... all of this?
no subject
I thi-think we all figure that. I don't think there's rhyme or reason to it, T. You're not being punished and you're not expected to overextend yourself... this was just an accident that we're collateral in.
[...and also in his suddenly cynnical outlook.]

[he squeezes her shoulder again.]
How... do you feel about him? Do you want to cut off your relationship?
no subject
[She shakes her head.]
No. Because he's been a really great friend to me. He even said he wanted to protect me from having to experience this kind of thing, that I should just forget about it and not worry. Which I appreciate, even if I can't forget.
no subject
[he takes his hand off her shoulder, balancing his chin on his fist.]
Yeah, I don't think you should do that. He obviously means well but... I guess they do it differently where he comes from.
no subject
[She nods.]
So I don't think he really grasps why I'm so upset. Or maybe he does, but it doesn't bother him in the same way it does me. He's long since learned to handle it in ways I haven't been able to.
no subject
[archie is still impressed with how tina is handling it, but he can't not be worried. she can't beat herself up if she doesn't do it perfectly.]
I think you might be right-- on the second count.
no subject
Yeah. And I need to give myself room to deal with it, too. I just want to fix things right away.
[She then nods slowly.]
That's been a bit of a hard lesson for me to learn. That not everyone comes from a world like I do. And had a good life like I did.
no subject
[mightyena boofs slightly as in agreement.]
What's the plan for the rest of the day? You gonna apologise for bein' rude to your teacher?
no subject
[She then laughs as she remembers:]
I had a bunch of people offer to come bust me out. It makes me smile that total strangers are willing to do that for me.
no subject
[even that makes archie smile. it's nice that she's made such an impression here, though not surprising. tina is a really good kid.]
I'll come with you if you want... an' I'm not surprised, T. You're real smart and nice.
no subject
no subject
[mightyena whines at the stupid joke, then nuzzles tina.]
Yeah, ya see why we were so worried when you said you got detention? That isn't you either. You're a good kid, even if you're havin' some problems, yeah?
no subject
Hey, that IS pretty cool.
[She nods.]
I always tried to be good back home, too. I think it's partly because I'm the oldest kid. I had more responsibility because of it, and I tried to set a good example for Gene and Louise, even if they didn't follow...
no subject
no subject
I know they'd be. Anything my siblings and I do is the best thing ever to my mom, so she'd be over the moon to know I've managed to make a pretty good life here. I have friends and people I can turn to when I need them. I work hard.
no subject
[seriously. tina's parents seem SO COOL.]
--Ah, I can leave Mightyena here with you for a little while if you want.
no subject
[She nods.]
If you don't mind? It can find its way back to you, right?
