thanks dude
You do know that you will have to pay for your copy, right?
Ms. Agate isn’t exactly lenient when it comes to her textbooks.
I know man she’s probs gonna sell me into slave labour or smth
Also don’t write into the textbook!
chill, this pen has an eraser end, I can just unreadable smudge
I will make you pay for my copy, too.
:(
so what’s your name
You do know that Ms. Agate read out our names at the beginning of the lesson, right, Amethyst?
you do know that your a smartass who starts every sentence with you do know
*you’re
thanks for proving my point, smartass
September 08
lemme see
No.
dude please
September 13
i’m sorry I called you a smartass
you can have my lunch and everything
that’s a fair trade
September 15
i’ve got a feeling there’s a pop quiz coming up
September 20
cmon dude i really need to pass this class
If it was really that important to you, you wouldn’t have lost your textbook on the first day
fuck u
Erase that immediately.

How was the pop quiz for you?
take a wild guess
You’re upset.
duh
I really didn’t think it meant so much to you.
I don’t know what could have given you a clue there.
Maybe the fact that i was seconds away from begging on my knees to get you to share that fucking textbook!
Don’t be crass, I’m trying to apologize.
try harder
Amethyst. I’m truly sorry for my behavior, and if it’s in any way possible, I’ll make it up to you.
I could tutor you.
That is, if you would accept help from me.
Please?
k
Are you free tonight?
free as Scotland.
Okay. Tomorrow wouldn’t work out, I have ballet practice, but how about the day after tomorrow?
dude, I am free tonight
But Scotland has been part of the UK since 1707, it isn’t free.
it’s just a thing people say pearl, don’t overanalyze it
I have never heard anybody say such a thing.
well i’m trying to make it a thing
Hubris will be your downfall.

pearl
Yes?
thanks. i really appreciate you’re help.
*your
And it’s no problem, really.
In fact, I had fun too!
that's what she said
in the best case scenario, anyway
October 02
hey Pearl
Yes?
what’s black and white and black and white and black and white?
I don’t know.
a nun falling down the stairs! :D
That’s terrible!
you mean terrific
i hope you read that in ms agate’s voice because i imagined her saying that
October 04
a waiter tries to make small talk to a customer while pouring him his coffee.
he says: "looks like rain, huh?“ the customer replies: "yeah, but it could also be coffee“
This one doesn’t even make sense!
yea it does
October 09
knock knock
Amethyst.
KNOCK KNOCK
Amethyst, please stop.
K N O C K K N O C K
If I ask who’s there, will you stop?
knockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknock
Alright. Who’s there?
Britney.
Britney who?
knock knock
What? That’s not how the joke is supposed to go!
KNOCK KNOCK
Who’s there?
Whoops I did it again!
you smiled
i saw it
you can’t hide from me
October 11
heh, you’ll like this one: an electron lands a court case. the electron was charged.
Pearl?
cmon man this one wasn’t so bad
October 16
hey
October 18
Are you ok?
Im sorry, I’ve been a bit stressed lately.
i think you need something to take your mind of things
off
it just isn’t the same if I do it myself
that’s what she said
good one, me
thanks
anyway, how about we hang out some day
like without ol’ Isaac Newton, just you and me
I’m sorry, Amethyst, but I just don’t have the time.
I have a ballet performance coming up, and practice is really time consuming.
if you don’t wanna hang you can just say so
And that’s not at all what I meant, Amethyst! I’d love to spend time with you, but I (wet smudge)n’t let my (wet smudge) down
oh shit
i’m sorry
i fucked it up again haven’t i

November 22
are you alright
Yes.
where have you been?
I had a stomach bug, nothing to worry about.
I’ve been writing down everything you missed, so don’t freak out
i fell asleep during agate’s lecture on acids and basics tho
i drooled on the page a little and everything smudged
that was a joke in case you were wondering
haven’t a conversation this stimulating since my goldfish died
November 27
if i said something wrong you can just tell me you know
November 29
ignoring me, real mature
December 02
you’re not alright, are you
I told you, I’m just a bit stressed.
nuh-uh
I know how you are when you’re just a bit stressed
you start rambling and nothing can get you to shut up
and then you do the thing where you tap your foot at light speed
and you apologize for, like, breathing too loud
tell me what’s wrong
please
I really am stressed, but you are right, that isn’t everything.
I need to give my best in my upcoming performance. More than usual.
My mother might be watching.
You see, all my sisters are truly wonderful dancers.
and your mom wants to make you the next in line
but the badass, awesome rebel in you would much rather do wrestling
oil her entire body up and just get down and dirty on the mat
Ew.
No, I really enjoy ballet, and I fancy myself quite good at it, too.
But when my mother watches, it’s like I’m three years old again
I can’t remember anything I’ve learned anymore.
I just panic, and stand there, useless.
I don’t want to make a fool of myself in front of everyone, Amethyst.
shit, that’s some heavy stuff
I have been losing sleep over it, and my performance has suffered.
Not only in ballet, but my grades have dropped, too.
Mother thinks that you are a bad influence on me.
If I don’t get it together soon, she says she might disown me.
fuck me, that’s awful
like, i don’t even know what to say
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have unloaded all of this on you.
December 04
pearl
two girls walk into a classroom
Not now, Amethyst.
hear me out
two girls walk into a classroom and sit down next to each other
they don’t like each other at first, because they’ve both got their issues
but the more time they spend together, the closer they become
and one girl knows the other one is going through some tough emotional shit
and she wants to let the other girl know how talented and smart and amazing she is
and that she shouldn’t give a fuck about what anybody thinks about her
but words aren’t her strong suit and she’s too dumb to make them sound like the words the smart girl deserves
Amethyst, stop.
shit that was too creepy right
fuck
Amethyst, do you really think of yourself as stupid? That’s not good.
pearl, this isn’t about me
I mean it, I don’t want you beating yourself up like this.
shut up mom
i knew i shouldn’t of done this
*shouldn’t have
she’s back from the dead
there’s the nerd i missed
and if anybody asks, i never said that
Devember 11
hey pearl, how about i come watch your ballet performance
I don’t think it will be your taste.
i didn’t think you would be my taste, and look where we are now
hehe, i see you blushing
anyway, I think you could use some moral support
if you’re freezing up, you can just look at me
and i’ll hold up some stupid banner like „that’s my pearl“ or something
and it’ll be so cheesy you can’t even feel nervous anymore
so can i come see you, pretty please
I don’t know, CAN you?
oh god, you sound like my kindergarten teacher
In all seriousness, would you really do that for me? It will probably bore you to death.
i’ve been bored to death before but i survived
see what i did there?
anyway, this is important to you, so i’m gonna support you
like, you know, a fellow human you feel close to
a companion of sorts
a 'friend', as the young folk say
I know what a friend is, Amethyst.
And thank you very much.
You don't know what this means to me.
December 13
the secret come out: does pearl is bones made of chewing gum
I don’t even know where to begin with this sentence.
how did you get your spine to bend that way
it looked painful
You get used to it.
not exactly what i wanted to hear
You were right, by the way.
of course i was
when exactly
I really could use a distraction to get my mind off everything that’s been bothering me.
are you saying what i think your saying
*you’re
never change
And as much as I’d miss Isaac, I’d like to spend some more time with you, and only you.
talk like that will definitely get you laid
Wait a second, are you flirting with me?
Have you been flirting with me all this time?
depends
On what?
are you still gonna tutor me if i say yes
I’ll try, but how much tutoring we’ll get done depends entirely on you ;)
WOAH
WOAH WOAH WOAH
was that an emoji
a WINKING EMOJI
scandalous
holy shit it really is the nerdy ones who are the dirtiest
But seriously, your grade is more important than any date, no distractions allowed there.
you just called it a date :D
I guess I did. This isn’t going too fast for you, is it?
you wish!
I actually don't.
I think I have a place in mind for our date.
i love it when you say that word
write that word
whatever
so are you free tonight
As free as Scotland.
you make me proud, p.
As moving as this budding love story is, I will not tolerate you wasting your time on writing little love letters in my lesson, and neither will I tolerate this defacing of school property. See me after school, both of you.
oh man
Please tell me that did not just happen.
it sure did
End me, Amethyst.
but then who’s gonna end me?
we have to do the right thing here
we’re going to have to live on with the knowledge that ol’ agate knows about all my great pick up lines
and she will steal them
Thank you very much for this image I will never be able to forget.
oh god, this book is contaminated now
I don’t want her reading any more about us!
so we have to get rid of it before female Snape can have a second look at it
Why don’t you try hiding it in the Room of Requirement?
ha, nerd
You started it, and I have written proof!
yet another reason this book has to go
You’re still paying for it.
