Rant on Sweet Amoris School Design

I don't know why I just noticed this...

but have you seen the night version of the gym? No? Okay. Screenshot time.

*I am the night. I am--Batman*

"So pretty!" was my first thought. Then I realized that in order to see so many stars, there had to be BIG windows. And the walls are basically all windows. WHO MAKES A GYM WHERE THE WALLS ARE WINDOWS? I mean, from my Physical Education experience, the ball is going to hit the wall no matter what. The Principal complains about funds and the school could easily go bankrupt trying to replace the "walls" in the MOST SUSCEPTIBLE ROOM TO HAVING A BROKEN WINDOW. *facepalm* I'd hate to be the person who kicked the ball and glass shattering everywhere. I'd hate to see the Principal's face in that case. Though her reaction to the bunnies was quite shocking in episode 18...*she's probably got her plan in motion of seducing Mr. Faraize and making him her secret lover*

End rant.

Outfits: Oh, how I love thee, Gladiator shoes!

Guys. So I've got a Sweet Crush (UK) account and I was disappointed after going to the clothing shop because I noticed that they had the gladiator shoes but My Candy Love (US) did not!

*I am just too in love with that ash brown hair.*

On Sweet Crush I am only on episode 4 because I discovered it pretty recently. Maybe 2 months ago or so. Anywho, this version is not on mobile which sucks because I use MCL on mobile ALL THE TIME. Disappointment. But what is not disappointing is the fact that these cute shoes ARE in MCL! Episode 19, these are the option of shoes to wear to the mall. I know the heels give you more options of getting another pair of shoes for free from Dake and though the heels were meh, okay..the shoes Dake buys are HIDEOUS. WHAT WAS HE THINKING?! So I chose one pair over two because of cuteness and the fact that I never really liked heels to begin with.

*This is madness!*
*Madness? THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!*

I've made my decision and I am pleased with it. I don't like to mess around with APs or money if I know it'll lead to something I could care less about. I've skipped dates with guys because I hate the outfit they want me to wear. You're probably thinking, "Elizabeth. It's just a game. Why not make a little sacrifice for the sake of developing plot?" Well, fellow MCL addict. Because I am a strong, independent woman who don't need no man. Mmmhmmm. 

And so concludes how overjoyed I am because of these shoes.

Random Objective

Episode 18 madness again and I just needed to point this out:

"New Objective: See how things evolve."

Being the geek that I am...

*Derp de derp*

That is all.

Lysander My Muse, but Kentin Swoops in for the Steal.

Lysander's quick reaction to my new outfit in episode 18 shocked me.

Me: "Hey, Lysander!"

Lys: "Hey. You look beautiful today."

Me: "You think so? Thank you very much!"

Zayummm. I didn't even have to push for a reply on my outfit. It just popped right out. xD 

Is this real life? (Or is this just fantasea?)Guy sees girls, notices outfit. Instantly blurts out how fine she be. Not awkward at all. Supposed to be sly about these things, play the game, Lys. Play the game.

Now...Kentin knows where it's at. 

We bantered until I got this out of him...

Me: "Just tell me if I look pretty!"

Ken: "You always look..*cough*, *cough*!"

And then I squealed like a little fangirl (click and you'll see Ben 10 in case you didn't look him up from previous post, lazy bums).

Oh. Ohmyglob. I was expecting that but playing further into the game...I found this treasure.

Ken: "Y-yeah it's true that it suits you better than the others."

Me: "That's not what you wanted to say."

Ken: "...I wanted to say that you are always pretty..."

Me: "R-really?"

Ken: "Well, yeah...So it doesn't matter what you wear."

Me: "T-thanks Kentin..."

asdgfsjexosjdnewbabasbdehndjz!!!!!!!!! *nosebleed*

Oh, Kentin. You just won. Let's drop out of high school and elope together this instant.

(Episode 15 MCL illustration)

*I--I..just...can't*

*It's okay. I know how much my guyliner and adorkableness make you fangirl over me. Just let it out.*

Pronunciations

Fellow MCL addicts,

I have no clue as to why this crosses my mind after being so far in the game...but I just thought I'd share my pronunciations of the guys' names with you. I've heard it differently on YouTube walkthroughs but before I hear them I already made up my mind!

Ohkay.

Castiel = Cass-tee-el. Like off of "Supernatural" but I didn't even hear of that show until maybe a month ago and I've been on MCL for like 2 years. TWO YEARS HAVE I WASTED MY LIFE ON MY CANDY LOVE.

Nathaniel = Nuh-than-yul. I always liked this name. I am a big fan of traditional names, since my real name is Elizabeth after all...I prefer this name above Nathan or Nate. Nathaniel suits Nathaniel well.

Kentin = Ken-tin. Some people say Ken-ten but that just makes me think of "Ben Ten" which Kentin actually does look like Ben...I've always referred to Kentin as Kentin, even when he was called Ken. I am a lover of full names. Funny how he considered the nickname "Ken" insulting. I was confused until just this week where I thought of Barbie's "Ken". Is that why it is so insulting? Because maybe people considered my candy as Barbie and Kentin as Ken. And the Ken in the "Life in the Dreamhouse" series (I apologize now for the link. I'm 19 and I think I've watched the whole series *shame*) is head over heels for his love...like Kentin and my candy. He would go above and beyond, showering his affections over Barbie--like Kentin engulfing my candy with his love. I don't know if Barbie's "Ken" has anything to do with Kentin's nickname but to me it makes sense.

Lysander = Li-san-dr. I've kind of associated this name to be more African American than Caucasian. I heard of the name before I met him and when I saw him in his glimmering white skin (Twilight, anyone?) my jaw dropped to the floor. I sometimes still find it awkward associating his name with his skintone. But I wouldn't give him any other name, either. He's too unique in every aspect.

Dajan = Day-jin. No, I wouldn't prefer to name him Lysander because Dajan suits him well.

Dakota = Duh-coe-tuh. Like the states. I prefer his nickname over his full name, a rare commodity, only because I constantly envision Dakota Fanning if I refer to his full name. Hey, at least they both have long blonde hair.

Jade = Jade. Green, like everything about him. Wut. Wait. No. Just move forward...

Leigh = Lay. Like Lays chips. Haha. It could be Li  (Lee) but one of Amber's boos is named Li. So I figured Lay would suit him. I actually want to call him Cy for no reason whatsoever.

Alexy = Al-ex-see. The makers of mcl just HAD to add the "y". Alexy just sounds weird to me. The makers of MCL probably wanted to make it sound more feminine considering his sexual preferences. Like adding the "a" at the end of a word to make it feminine in Spanish--Ramon vs Ramona.

Armin = Arr-minn. Ha. Get it. Like he's "armin' up" for a battle...because he plays so many video games...Sheesh. Tough crowd. That's all I've got to his name, though.

Boris = Bore-iss. Pronounced like Aurora borealis but silent what's crossed out. Yup. Hold up, (let me take a selfie) did I just use the word "silent" as a verb? Meh.

Mr. Faraize = Mister Fuh-rayz. Maybe it could be pronounced better, but I'm too American and English-speaking to try.

^^^Of course I mentioned Mr. Faraize, my favorite character xD

So concludes my pronunciations of the guys' names. Comment it up if you have better suggestions! I am clueless here. Thanks for reading :)

Fanfiction Warning!

"Detention"
Ch.3

Morning. I was walking out the door of my apartment on my way to school before Auntie caught my arm with one hand while tying her long, strawberry blonde hair into a bun with the other. She had on a crisp white dress shirt with a black pencil skirt. Auntie, you're trying way too hard.

"Please, don't forget to get Mr. Faraize to say good things about me to the Principal BEFORE I arrive at noon."

I smiled. "You Google his name or something? Last I recall he was 'Ferris' to you, Auntie."

"So what if I did! Don't mess around with me, Gracelyn. This is serious."

"Well, I wouldn't count on Mr. Faraize to help you. The principal barely likes him, let alone respects him. You are probably better off on your own. What about Boris, anyways? Sometimes he's around and you two are best friends."

"He's only a substitute teacher. I don't think he has much to say."

"It doesn't hurt to try. Have him talk to her after the interview. It could be good."

"...or sound clingy. I'll see how the interview goes first. Thanks for nothin', Gracie."

"Hey, all I said was Faraize wouldn't help! I don't want to hurt your reputation with any of this social networking garbage."

"Social networking is most of your life after school, Gracie. The enemies you make now will haunt you. Look at me, I can't get the job I've worked hard for because of a high school enemy. Don't make the same mistakes as me, Gracie. I appreciate your help anyhow." She winked at me. "Go off to school. Help that Lysander boy find his notebook before the bus arrives." We laughed and I headed out the door. Successfully this time.

I walked down the hall to my best friend Rosayla's apartment door. With her dating Leigh, she understood my relationship with Faraize. She actually found out the hard way, seeing that she got back into her habit of spying on people and catching good snapshots. She was completely okay with it all, though. I was surprised for such a secret to be accepted. She's always been a sister to me and now, she is my person.

"Rosa, baby! Time to leave!" I could hear giggling through the door. "Leigh, let her go to school!"
Every morning! What would she do without me?!

Rosayla slipped through the door with Leigh and smiled at me.
"Jealous?"

"Jealous that you get a personal alarm to tell you when to leave for school? Yeah, a little."
We all walked down the stairs and met up with Lysander in the lobby. He seemed lost but perked up when he saw his brother.

"Another sleep over, Leigh? Such an example."

Leigh started to walk off to the apartment him and his brother shared. "Follow my lead and you might be half as charming as me when you grow up."

I was curious as to where Castiel was. Surely Lysander would have stayed with him, but they weren't together. "You stay with Castiel last night, then, Lysander? I don't see him around."

"Yeah. You know him, though. Always late to school. I can't do much about it. So this morning I decided to go ahead and look for something I couldn't find last night...what was it and where is it again?"

"You mean your notebook? I think I saw it by the staircase."

"Thank-you, Gracelyn." Lysander bowed and left to retrieve his notebook.

"So Castiel is a no. Nathaniel always leaves early and Melody and Peggy carpools with. Amber and her crew drives with Capucine tailing them. Violet and Kim are probably outside. Iris...oh! Hey, Iris! I didn't see you there on the couch. Alexy is probably trying to pull Armin out of the arcade. Kentin is probably with Boris at the school gym. Dake left us for Australia again. Jerk. Jade finished dual credit last week. Dajan left for private school not too long ago. AM I FORGETTING ANYONE, ROSA?"

"You're forgetting to breathe. You don't have to account for everyone. Let's just get going before the bus leaves. I hate walking to school in these boots."

"It's not even that far, babe. You don't want a lovely stroll through the park at first light? The sun reflects so brilliantly off your white locks of hair."

"I know. But I had quite the workout this morning along with romance so if you'd mind." She began pushing me out the door.

"Eww..Rosa. You shouldn't tell me these things."

"I didn't tell you any specifics...yet. Just wait until we get on the bus."

"No!!......"

Everyone managed to get on the bus, even the very tired Castiel who obviously just got out of bed.

"Good morning, Sunshine!" I winked at Castiel as he went further back to find a seat next to Iris.

"It'll be an awful morning for you, little girl, if you keep up the fairy act." He retorted.

"Castiel, do you always have to talk that way to Gracie?" Iris pleaded.

"Don't worry, Iris. Sarcasm is Castiel and I's love language."

'"Who said I was being sarcastic? And this 'love' crap. You wish. I'd never go out with a little girl who has an ironing board as a chest." I knew Iris would blush at this.

"Stop it, babe. Your gonna make our love child's face grow redder than your hair."

Kim laughed but I could hear Violet's whisper. "L-love child?"

"It's okay, Violet. You'll always be my number one. We'll have an in-marriage, legitimate child soon enough." Rosayla was poking my side but I felt Kim's glare more painful than the poking.

"Cut it out, Grace. She's gonna pass out."

"Fine, fine. Rosayla's getting jealous anyways. If only there were enough of me to go around..."

"I already know you're mine, Gracyln. But now I want to share the intimate details with you  about last night."

"Last night? I thought it was this morning?" I paused to think. "Oh, no. Don't tell me..."

Rosayla grinned. "Twice."

I turned away from Rosa. "Don't even look at me. You need professional help."

The bus stopped at the school. "When you're in love, you're in love. You know how it is."

Castiel was heading up the bus. "I doubt that," he called from behind. But as he got next to my seat he lowered himself to my ear and whispered, "I can show you, though." And off he was.

I grimaced at the thought. "Ugh, Castiel. I'd like to not throw up at the start of my day. He always take things too far."

Kim soon was near me. "As do you, Grace. You'd be quite the couple if he'd ever allow it."

Rosayla laughed. "He never would!"

"Oh, thank-you, best friend. You always stand up for me and help me with my self esteem. A true pal, Rosa."

"Anytime, doll." 

I turned as I heard the blaring of Alexy's and Armin's headphones. Alexy always listened to music whereas Armin always listened to sound effects of his video games. Two peas in a pod, those twins. At least they didn't have to witness the horrors of today's bus conversation like poor Violet and Iris. Their golden hearts just can't take it. 

Rosa and I were last off the bus. I quickly apologized to my Violet and my Iris before coming back to hear Rosa's gruesome tale. Then I remembered my more pressing matters--Auntie working at Sweet Amoris High. I placed my finger onto Rosa's lips just before she was going to tell me of her night and morning. She smacked my hand away. 

"I'm serious, Gracelyn. It is ine thing to shrug this off in a crowded place but not when we are alone together."

"Rosayla, Auntie wants to work HERE. She has an interview at noon."

"So?! Let the woman work!"

"Rosa. If she does, she might find out about Faraize and I. No more "detentions." No more "meetings." No more time alone with him for invalid reasons. We'd have to go elsewhere. And there is no where else to go!"

Rosa smiled. "Maybe to his place, this could go well for you."

"And risk getting caught by my neighbors?! All if whom GO TO THIS SCHOOL. We'd be ruined and I'd have to move again. And I don't think Kentin's parents will allow him to follow me to another high school again. He's my teddy bear, Rosa. I can't stand to be without him let alone without YOU."

"You are such a drama queen. You sure you don't want to follow your aunt's lead into an acting career? Nothing bad will happen. You know why? Because destiny. That's why. You and Faraize have a strong, lifelong bond. Nothing can sever that."

"Well, you obviously don't know the lengths my parents will go to find the sharpest pair of scissors capable of severing said bond."

"I thought the same of my parents but it turns out they don't care. They expect me to move in with Leigh and Lys after graduation. They will stop providing for my rent and for me altogether when that day comes."

"Come here, boo. The inseparable bond will always be between us. Forget your parents. They don't deserve you."

"As long as you forget yours. It'll work out better for you. I have a feeling."

"Whatever you say, love. Can we at least try to trash this interview? It's still embarassing to have my aunt work here. Imagine what Amber or Peggy will say. Imagine what CASTIEL will say. I can't go through that. He would never leave me in peace. That tease."

"Okay, Gracie. We'll sabotage the interview. Let's just go in before we end up with a lunch detention. She started heading in but stopped when she noticed I wasn't moving.

"You know how much I love detention, Rosayla." I teased.

 She laughed and and I let her pull me to the school.

Detention was never bad, but I needed lunch to be free in order to take down Auntie. I love her but she just can't work at my school. Not at all.

"Detention"
Ch.2

I fumbled through my bag looking for my apartment keys. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mr. Faraize down the hall looking at me as he unlocked the door to his complex. I smiled back at him as he went inside. Hmm...maybe he’ll invite me over without my Auntie or parents sometime. I was still shifting papers around my bag to get the key when the door opened.

“Gracie. I thought I heard you out here. What are you doing?” Auntie was puzzled as she saw crumpled papers on the ground.

“Heh. I may have lost the key to the apartment…” I winced a little in fear of her pinching me for being so careless. I was right to wince, she pinched my arm. “Ouch!” I rubbed my arm as I walked through the door.

“Gracie, your heads are always in the clouds! I swear you may be related to that Lysander boy that lives downstairs, the one who is always looking for that notebook of his.”

“I wish. He shows a lot more kindness and respect to me than you do, Auntie!” I laughed as I ran for my room but she caught me in the living room and tossed me onto the couch, tickling my weak spot. “St-stop! Please, show mercy!” I laughed so hard tears were rolling down my cheeks.

“I’ll show you kindness and respect when YOU return the favor! As for mercy, never. Just not possible.” She continued torturing me until the door opened once again. We both look up to find my parents looking with disappointment at Auntie. Auntie stopped and composed herself.

My mom spoke. “Oh, April. What on earth are you doing? I thought you had an audition today?”

“Well, sis. You see…they called it off, again.”

I felt sorry for Auntie April, she worked hard to get a degree in acting and no one wants to cast her for any roles. It had always been her dream to work in the town of Sweet Amoris for the local theater but each upcoming play or musical she tries to audition for, they don’t even give her the chance. Her high school enemy seems to have reached a position of authority there before Auntie graduated. It’s unlikely Auntie will ever be able to work at the local theater, but she keeps trying. Mom and Dad moved here to give me a clean slate and to give Auntie a place to stay now that she can’t hold up rooming with Boris. Boris and her were best friends but his occasional substitute gym teacher gig wasn’t enough to pay for both of them. He had to find someone else.

“April, this is ridiculous and you know it. You have to move on. Sweet Amoris Theater will not give you a chance with that girl in charge. Maybe you should have thought of whom to become enemies with before you did so in high school.” Dad cared for April but he always took the logical side of things over feelings. Supporting April was draining him of his funds, I got a good peek at his bank statement the other day.

“Greg, you know this is my dream and I just have to keep trying. I can’t quit on my dream!” April looked at Dad then at Mom with pleading eyes.

“April, honey. You know I love you but it is best to move on. Go gain your experience where they can appreciate you and if you want to come back, fine. I don’t think you’ll enjoy working for that girl, though. But if it’s still your dream, try accomplishing it with a method other than wasting your time trying to get an audition. Go work elsewhere and create a name for yourself. You’ll look like a better candidate with something other than a degree.”

April looked down at the ground, “You both always thought with your heads...and look how successful you already are. I’ll think about your advice, but I can’t retreat from Sweet Amoris. I’ll look into other acting careers here. Maybe even become a drama teacher at Sweet Amoris High if I have to.”

I facepalmed. If she worked at my school no one would talk to me ever again. And, she might even find out about Faraize and I. That can’t happen, I’ll have to find a local acting career that she can use as her experience instead of my high school.

“Auntie, work at my school and I die. I’m warning you.”

“Oh, Gracelyn. I know you’ll LOVE it if I worked there. In fact, I might just start off there now. I’ll talk to your teacher that lives down the hall from us. What’s his name? Ferris? He’ll hook me up an interview with the principal. I have a degree and I did cast as Queen Titania for A Midsummer Night’s Dream back at my university’s local theater. I’m sure that’s enough experience to get me through to working at your school. You are in for a treat!” Auntie headed for the door with a sly grin on her face before stopped by Mom’s voice.

“April, this isn’t to be taken lightly. A position there could be just what you need. It’s a good thing you didn’t get in too much trouble there as a kid, the principal might not want you to work there. I understand that there is a constant need of funding, they’ve cut back quite a bit on faculty who couldn’t take a cut in salary. They may be looking for someone starting out who can accept the wages so that they can still bring in the money from the occasional plays and musicals. They could need you, April. Don’t screw this up.”

“I won’t, sis. I’ll try to make a more formal appearance and go in tomorrow to apply. Gracie, just make sure Ferris talks me up before I arrive at your school tomorrow.”

How about, NO. “Of course, Auntie. I know they need you as much as you need a job. But I will hate you forever, just thought I’d let you know that.”

Dad smiled while pushing his glasses up—a common thing he does when he has sealed a deal at work. “Then it is settled. April will work at Sweet Amoris High.”

At least I won’t have to ride the bus anymore or spend ages outside my apartment looking for my key…wait. Where DID I leave that key?

Until next time!

Outfits: Team Tees

When I first spotted these t-shirts in the game, I about died. I mean, NOW I CAN TELL THE GUYS HOW I FEEL WITHOUT ACTUALLY SAYING IT. Oh wait. Nope, they don't see or acknowledge my obsession with them.
Anywho, here we go! My candy, Gracie Lovelyn, sporting these lovely t-shirts.

 
 

 

If I had to rank shirts:

1.) Team Lysander
2.) Team Castiel
3.) Team Nathaniel

For real. Nathaniel's shirt is HIDEOUS. And he was my "Date." *facepalm* It was hard to find anything I owned to actually go with the outfit, and the outfit still looks terrible. But, I tried. Maybe I should just go pantsless like the "Date" suggested, hahahahaha. I loved that. Illustration Castiel showed him blushing which was cute until I entered the episode and after buying the outfit, MY PANTS CAME OFF AND I WORE NOTHING BUT THE TEE. Good lawd. Why would MCL do that to our candy? Poor Gracie! That's what happens when you let a guy choose your outfit, you end up wearing no pants! I did about keel over from laughing so hard as I connected all these dots. bhaahahha
I really do love the originality of both the Castiel and Lysander t-shirts. Texture and whatnot. Cool cats get cool shirts ;)

Would like to make a point here about the Clothes Shop--Never overlook the old stuff that you at first do not like. That black mini I didn't buy until yesterday because I thought it was too low on the hips and too short on the thighs. BUT, that was because they had terrible t-shirt options before. Pair that skirt with the right top (say, a Team Lysander Tee) and some tights with boots and you've got yourself a full blown outfit. Hawt stuff. Every now and then I'll go back and buy a couple of old items. My goal is to one day own them all but seeing that it'd take ages to do so unless REAL money is spent, that won't happen. 

Well, if I didn't have to pay through PAYPAL that is. I absolutely HATE Paypal. Can't I just use a normal card to purchase more action points and money?? Nope. That's what happens with oversea otome games. That's what this is, right? An otome game? Best and only I've played so far.

 So, fellow addicts...consider revamping the wardrobe with the classics.

Fellow addicts, so much fun to be had!> http://chinomiko.tumblr.com/post/37044455050/as-mcl-click-and-drag-game-english-francais

I love this idea, helps get fanfics going! Or my fanfic to continue, hahahaha. Again, old answers on My Profile. Feel free to comment with your answers or post yours onto your own profile. Share the imagination!

Your Best Friend: Rosayla…After plotting Deborah’s demise, Rose we are BLOOD SISTERS. Take me out shopping for new lingerie anytime.

Your Worst Enemy: Peggy…I always thought she was one of the attractive girls in the game. Dem freckles. She easily became my enemy as soon as she slandered my name in the school paper. I’m glad she questions her work now, how could she be so sure of her sources anyhow? I wonder how many other lies are in those papers…

Your Seduction Weapon: Money…$15 a day from my Auntie/parents/pimp/whoever takes care of me (IDK my bff Jill) is quite the salary. Pfft.

Has a Crush on You: Nathaniel…the man in authority. Yeah, sounds about right considering my old answers and the answers to come.

Your First Kiss: Nathaniel…I bet he only kissed my hand right before I would reject him for...

Your Boyfriend: Mr. Faraize…YES. Destiny, or my subconscious, is telling me WE BELONG TOGETHER.

His Gift to You: Flowers…It’s to keep Nathaniel away from me xD Dem allergies.

Wants to Steal Him from You: Capucine…Of course. Capucine looks like the type to actually be into a fine piece of work such as Mr. Faraize. “Meet me outside the school at 3pm SHARP. This just got REAL.”

Your Loveydovey Holiday Trip: Disneyland Resort…Oh, come on, Mr. Faraize! I know I’m your student but I’m not THAT young! xD

Fanfiction Warning!

In response to Semma's / Pretty Ideal's Contest on "Detention" I created this little number and got 2nd place! The title I am super proud of, seeing that writing has always been my strong suit. Here is my Fanfiction. Warning--If you can't stand my hot, spicy love for Mr. Faraize, LEAVE NOW. You have been warned!

"Detention"
Ch.1

I sat on top of a desk as I waited for him to arrive. Classroom A. After school. We had agreed on this.

     And I was there. I figured that since he was a busy man, I wouldn’t be seeing him as soon as school let out at 2:45pm. 3:00pm he would probably show. So, I sat. I flattened out creases on my dress, reapplied delicious lip gloss, and with my fingers combed through my luminous, long, black hair. I wouldn’t say that I obsess over my appearance; but I do care about how I look. And each morning as I get ready for school, I think of him. As I sing passionate songs in the shower, as I let my fair skin bathe in the moisture of my favorite perfumed lotion, as I pick out lingerie, as I stare back at myself in the mirror to apply make-up…he floods my thoughts. I wanted to look my best for him, for my perfect man. I checked my nails—no chips. I checked my hosiery—no snags. I checked my container of mints—one left. I popped it into my mouth and let it quickly dissolve. Thinking about the encounter I was about to have, the coolness of the mint most likely wouldn’t last long.

     Three minutes until 3 o’clock and he entered the room—careful to close and lock the solid door behind him. I walked over to him and took off his leather messenger bag to place onto his teacher’s desk. I go to him again and take the files and cup of coffee out of his hands to set beside his bag. Turning around and slightly leaning back on his desk, he approaches me. We stood face-to-face, eyes locked. It had been weeks since we saw each other like this in such a private setting. Our desire for each other combined with our separation created a strong attraction between us that could not be contained any longer.

     We kissed. And the heat of our passion took away the coolness of my mint, just as I assumed it would.

     With his arms wrapped around my waist and my arms wrapped around his, we became engulfed within each other. I was lost in the kiss as I thought of how nothing could tear us apart, how we didn’t need to worry about our relationship, how we were meant to be. I felt the feeling of weightlessness as he held me and kissed me. And when he stopped, gravity came back. I placed my hand on his chest, still able to feel his toned body hidden underneath his dress shirt layered with a sweater. With my other hand I twirled a lock of his thick, dark hair between my fingers. He looked down at me with his kind, violet eyes. I guess I call them kind because I’ve seen him without his spectacles on—the only time anyone would be able to distinguish what his eyes have to say.

     We gazed at each other, knowing how deep we were in this. Our relationship had serious consequences; he could get fired and unable to work again, and my parents would have me transfer to another school to separate us and to help me escape the poisonous gossip that encompasses such a scandalous relationship. Despite the consequences, though, we had fallen for each other so hard that there was no getting back up. We both knew how inseparable we were, yet we always came back to the same conversation.

     Mr. Faraize looked down and grinned at me. He was the first to begin our repetitious exchange of words (our only exchange of words at our private meetings).

     “Gracelyn, you know we can’t be doing this,” he said softly.

     “I know,” I replied while looking down at the hand I still had on his chest. I knew we couldn’t have this, but we did. And what we had didn’t feel wrong at all. How could anyone put such a restriction on love? If I weren’t still in high school, it would be okay. I’m legally an adult, and he is only a couple years older. But, he’s still my teacher. That is where society tells us that it is wrong. That is where society would file lawsuits if such a relationship was publicly known. So here we are, meeting in secret. And here we are, having this conversation.

     Mr. Faraize gently caressed my cheek. “So why did you come here then?” he asked.

     “The same reason that you came.”

     “Oh?” He lifted me up onto his desk. I leaned back as he leaned into me. “And what is that?”

     I lifted my face towards him as if to kiss. With my eyes kept onto his lips, I breathed out my answer, “Detention.”

     He grinned then kissed me. He slowly moved from my lips down towards my neck. And in-between his kisses he whispered his reply, “Me, too.”

Es muy caliente, no? haha. I think I stole the idea from Pretty Little Liars, Aria and Mr. Fitz. TOO BAD HE'S _________. I won't spoil it for fellow Netflixers. 

I hope to create more fanfics soon revolving more around the actual gameplay episodes. Use Sims 3 and make videos, perhaps. This would be a pretty saucy video if I can manage to pull it together. We shall see. Hope you enjoyed the Mr. Faraize Fanfiction!

Up-to-Date

Just thought I'd get you up to speed about me.

I am currently on level 18 and my LOM is highest with Nathaniel, but I also have 100 affinity with Lysander. I cannot tell you how hard I am trying to get the illustration with Lysander INSTEAD of Nathaniel for this episode. I mean, come on. Just look at the artwork. 

I love all the guys but as of now here's the ranking on who I like more (not ranking of LOM, based off of ELIGIBLE guys who are not in special episodes).

1.) Lysander--budding attraction he has for me now showing, ugh. 'Dat blushing 'dough.

2.) Kentin--Trying to hide 'dat crush from me as well. And he's always loved me, cared for me. He's a friend whom I wouldn't mind lettin out of the friend zone.

3.) Armin--This gamer is hawt. And his references leave me literally rolling on the floor laughing ROFL.

4.) Nathaniel--Always appreciated his respect towards me though sometimes he asserts his power and I just want to punch him in the face. Do enjoy the same outfits, maybe he could take me shopping some day.

5.) Castiel--Seeing his sensitive side is lovely but he's mostly a rear end. His sass leaves me in uncontrollable laughter, though.

6.) Dakota--His pickup lines also crack me up. The fact that he even uses them...he's gorgeous. He should let the ladies chase HIM instead of him chasing the ladies ;)

7.) Dajan--Cool getting to know him and he's good looking. If I knew more about him and he were around more often, he may be bumped up a few ranks.

Again, I don't hate any of them at all. I barely even dislike them. Some things I will complain about, like Castiel's inability to accept the sass he CONSTANTLY dishes out or Dakota's inability to keep his hands and eyes to himself. *ahem* Still love them.

Out of curiosity, here's my ranking based off of LOM (I can't just mention it then leave you in the dark).

100--Nathaniel Comes first because I raised my affinity to 100 with him LAST. Always have dates with him because I liked the outfits he would like for me to wear.

100--Lysander Will only be bumped up IF I lower Nathaniel's affinity. I chose the options that would raise affinity but it doesn't matter once you are at 100, Nathaniel's affinity was raised last and apparently that is all that matters. Been warming up to Lysander as he to me.

85--Castiel Usually he is around 100 but episode 15-17 really kicked me in the butt.

75--Kentin I've really been trying but it is hard since he left with a 80-90ish affinity. I think I tried to answer neutral so I could get the first date with Nathaniel, but Ken really took a hit to his heart, and affinity before he leaves affects affinity when he comes back.

59--Armin There aren't that many ways to get to know him without sacrificing opportunities with others. I've still got my fingers crossed.

27--Dajan I didn't realize how self conscious he was at first. Try to gift a water bottle to him and he throws a hissy fit. Not attractive. Though I've always had a difficult time accepting gifts, always wanting to pay someone back for their expense of kindness. *Somebody's a hypocrite here...*

-14--Dakota I know, I know. I like him but why be in the negatives? I had to fight him off because the others would think less of me if I didn't. Besides, he still likes me even when I turn him down so I think it is better to keep doing so. No future with him anyways other than being spied on in the dressing room, who wants that?!

Despite being in episode 18, I do NOT play Mortal Pillow. That game only spammed up my inbox with invites and the confusion was great. I had NO clue what the point of it all was.

I have played a total of 3 SPECIAL episodes.
Halloween 2011 <3 Dimitry
Easter 2012 <3 Charlie
Christmas 2012 <3 Rudolph, xD

As far as forum threads go, I've only been in "Chatter Time" and even then only in a few threads. Some people know me, but I've been off grid for a while now. I think I'm in a few clubs but people who start them make rules to chat every couple of months, mostly because they forget to but don't want the club to be closed and labeled 'inactive.' I see right through your ill-intentions! Eh, I probably would have made the same requirement.

That's all I've got on me for meow! *cough* Excuse me--for ^now. *I need to stop meowing in place of words and instrumental music...*

30 Day MCL Challenge Updated

I have done the 30 Day MCL Challenge in the past and I'd like to post new answers for fun. Go ahead and spy on my Profile if you're interested in viewing the old answers ;) And feel free to do the same challenge! Post your answers in the comments and your Profile as well, if you'd like!

30 Day MCL Challenge

1. Favorite boy=As of now, Lysander. He used to keep his cool but now his crush on me shows and it is absolutely adorable.

2. Favorite episode=I honestly liked the whole Deborah fiasco. Evoked a whole lot of emotions, those episodes. Finding my true allies and building stronger relationships was quite nice.

3. Weirdest thing on MCL=My answer still stands firm, boots that hide behind pants.

4. Favorite girl=Me ;) Joking. Deborah's deceit is intriguing and I appreciate her genius. 

5. Best fashion=I love Capucine's style though I dislike her with a fiery passion. First saw her and I thought, "SOMEONE NORMAL" until I saw her true form.

6. Funniest/quirkiest moment=I think I share a moment with each of MCL's finest characters. 

7. Favorite backstory=Although the "backstories" are not really much, I do like the fact that Amber has a crush on Castiel because he was once kind to her. I like to think of how she could hold onto such an unrealistic crush as they grew separate ways, she preppy and he rocker. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't even like her.

8. Least favorite boy=Dajan. He has VERY little to do with game play. The fact that he is in the "My Dates" list makes no sense to me whatsoever.

9. Favorite quote=I'm sure it's something sassy Castiel has said to me...or something hilariously flattering Dakota has said to me...

10. Least favorite episode=I would say the beach annoyed me quite a bit. I was with Nathaniel and Lysander, I believe.

11. Meanest thing someone said to you=I've got a couple. Two revolving around the Deborah event.

...Iris: “It was really mean… I was disappointed in her, and to think I considered her as a friend.”

How easily she doubts me. That just hurts, Iris.

...Armin: "There's the little torturer!" It was really insensitive. Considering I had to leave school because things were so messed up with the whole Deborah thing. I would have cried had I been my candy, glad she was at least silent and not going along with the "joke." Seriously, Armin.

...Episode 9 fighting off Dakota it was either Nathaniel or Castiel who got angry at ME thinking that I wasn't trying hard enough to reject him. Nat/Cas thought that I was actually INTO Dake when in reality I chose all the answers to GET AWAY from the creep. They actually BLAMED ME. Ugh! That's like telling a victim of rape that her swimsuit said she was "asking for it." And we all know no girl asks to be taken advantage of. Judgmental jerks.

12. Most unfair situation=Too many unfair situations to count. The one I HATE the most is at the end of the Orienteering Event, I enjoy a lovely illustration with a boy and another finds me and BAM!!! Lowered affinity by like a million. Guess I can't win them all. I know there is a part where Mr. Faraize finds you instead but after being caught on Nathaniel's back by Lysander and having Nathaniel and Castiel catch me under Lysander's coat with him...there is only fail, no win.

13. Hardest to impress=Dajan. The other guys are fine but I couldn't read into this character at all, so I couldn't figure out the right options.

14. Who can you see as a couple=

I think Violet and Kentin would be a SUPER cute couple, he knows what it is like to be friend zoned. Actually, I always loved Kentin. He's sweet and caring and I like to think that my candy knitted him that green sweater that he probably burned after his military transformation D:

Lysander and Rosayla I see together as well. Why do they both have white hair? Because love triangle, that's why. Lysander, Rosayla, and Leigh.

15. Most romantic date=Seeing that none of these so-called "dates" are even DATES, I will have to say none. 

16. Happiest moment=When I make a guy blush. Lysander lately, his emotions displayed outwards but feels the need to hide it...so adorable. I. Can't. *Nosebleeds*

17. Worst personality disorder (PD)=Well, there are 10 different types of PDs according to this website: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hide-and-seek/201205/the-10-personality-disorders and I shall give one to each male.
~Paranoid=Mr. Faraize. Constant fear of a beheading by the Queen...I mean getting in trouble by the Principal.
~Schizoid=Lysander. Low emotional response, indifference to cultural norms (need I mention his love for the Victorian Age?), focus on inner world. 
~Schizotypal=Alexy, sort of. Oddities of appearance, even if he's gay..his outfit is completely ridiculous. Honestly, Armin and Alexy should switch clothing. Armin is well dressed and gracefully sporting a man-scarf whereas Alexy always has headphones on, has baggy clothing, not to mention ill-matched. I would think a gamer to dress horribly and a homosexual man to dress fabulous. That's just my narrow-headed stereotypes, though. His beliefs are a little "magical" as he is impossibly happy at every waking second of his life and then trying to get me to be the same.
~Antisocial=Armin. No social rules, no guilt, no obligations. Not to mention irritable. 
~Borderline=Kentin. Responds badly to criticism. Very violent. Fears abandonment? Well, he followed me to school, right?
~Histrionic=Boris, haha! I think he puts a huge weight on what others think of him, as indicated at the beginning of the game. He keeps up his appearance (though not in an attractive way).
~Narcissistic=Dakota and Castiel. Dakota gives off that I'm-sexy-and-I-know-it vibe and Castiel fits this EXACT description, "to others he may seem self-absorbed, controlling, intolerant, selfish, and insensitive."
~Avoidant=Kentin again. He fears he's inadequate and doesn't make too many friendships because of his low self esteem.
~Dependent=Leigh. He had no clue how to get his girlfriend back. Way to go to a STRANGER for advice on a LIFE EVENT.
~Obsessive-compulsive=Nathaniel. His need for perfection keeps him distant in relationships...late study nights at school, anyone?

*Dajan and Jade are too unimportant for me to even try diagnosing them with any personality disorder.

18. Weirdest character=Capucine. I just can't wrap my mind around her personality. Maybe Amber just needs to give her something and she'll be set free (Harry Potter, anyone?)

19. Worst fashion=Kim doesn't know what in the world she is doing with her style. "I'll combine all the trends, old and new, and create this 'unique' look." NO. PLEASE DON'T. Iris's fur on her shorts makes her look like some sort of elf. And after seeing Lucy's hair all I keep thinking is Vanellope Von Schweetz of "Wreck-It Ralph". And Deborah, well, she just tried too hard to NOT match any of her clothing at all. I like it but hate it at the same time.

20. Favorite date outfit=Favorite outfit will be the Christmas 2012, but I still can't consider any of the "Dates" in MCL as legitimate dates.

21. Least favorite girl=Kim and Capucine. Kim is only friends with me because I am friends with Violet and Iris. Kim and I's friendship is fake and I really don't like that. She judged me from the beginning and still probably does. Capucine has no mind for herself, she's Amber's lapdog. At least Amber is her own self. Capucine enjoys being evil for Amber. I sense no remorse from Capucine. So I hold none for her. 

22. Favorite place in the game=The park, quite lovely :)

23. What item is on your dresser=Kentin's teddy bear. He genuinely cared for me, enough to spend his allowance to buy a teddy bear for me. He always looked out for me, even if he was clueless. And even now, he still cares though it is hard to admit.

24. Favorite minor character=All characters are major to me. If I had to guess who is a minor character that I love, it'd be Mr. Faraize. He's adorable.

25. Character you are most likely to have an affair with=Mhuahhaha. Mr. Faraize. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll post my fan-fic for him later.

26. One thing you could change about one character=Alexy would be straight--solely for Violet to date him ;) AND HE'D CARE FOR HIS APPEARANCE AS MUCH AS HIS BROTHER'S.

27. Favorite special episode=I enjoyed Easter 2012. Love the game they have me play to find out who is lying. And all the boys are cute, especially Charlie ;) 

28. Who do you see yourself staying in touch with after highschool=Probably everyone if we're all stuck in the same small town. It'd be nice to see them all, though. Even Amber. I could watch her life end in failure as I become some executive ordering coffee from the Starbuck's she works as a barista at. "This one is warm, not hot. Send another." "Yes, ma'am. Right away." *accidentally spills coffee on self* "It seems that you have spilled my Hazelnut coffee all over yourself. Amber, aren't you allergic to nuts?" Mhuahahahhaha.

29. Favorite illustration=SO MANY. I guess I shall choose the one that I actually don't have. Kentin holds my candy, episode 15. UGH. I just LOVE it.

30. What makes you love My Candy love=Dialogue. For real. 

BONUS QUESTION: Is it better to choose Nathaniel’s or Castiel’s side in Episode 2 and why? 
~Nathaniel wins: Didn't result in violence to solve his problems. Went by the books.
Nathaniel fails: Asked the NEW GIRL to take care of his duties. Constantly ABUSES his power. Holds onto personal vendettas when dealing with students as Student body president--Unprofessional, Very.
~Castiel wins: Deals with conflict head on, directly. Victim of Nathaniel's abuse of power.
Castiel fails: He tries to beat up Nathaniel which is NOT cool at all, no matter HOW MUCH he may deserve it. Already been skipping classes without excuses.

Honestly, this episode made me hate Nathaniel and Castiel at the same time. I pitied Castiel but he was out of line for using physical violence. Nathaniel was such a butt because he took advantage of his position, but I had to defend his sorry butt anyhow seeing that his strength lies in his mind instead of his biceps..
