Saint Joseph School

(( Issue 15 Update

Anna has adjusted generally well to Saint Joe's, and life in Paragon in general. Though she still gets homesick from time to time, she and her mother have both settled in nicely to their new lives. Anna has taken particularly well to patrolling, and tends to be a little more ...

Annamarie Knight (Tempest Sage): Junior going on Senior

Dillon Murray: Sophomore going on Junior.

I guess everybody has those things that they always say they'll never do. Some people who're afraid of heights say they'll never go bungee jumping, some people who're picky eaters will never try certain foods, et cetera et cetera. I guess that thing for me was that I'd never see a shrink. No matter ...

Anna chuckled as they finished another lap around the gym. "Well, hey, I never claimed to be a morning person. You 'n' Bran look kinda nuts for being so awake this early on a Saturday anyway..."

Anna smirked as she began to run, starting off behind her teammates. She picked up speed quickly, catching up to Brandon. As she pulled up next to him, she elbowed him in the ribs, grinning.

"I just wanted to make sure all you guys got started before I did. I need to make sure you aren't slacking ...

Chuckling, Anna semi-shouted after them as they started off. " We've only got a few weeks, Bran, so make sure you're not slacking off with your exercise. And no muffins! Just blueberries are fine though! Oh, and I'll totally let you eat a muffin or something if you bring me some grapes one of these ...

Anna chuckled, rolling her eyes. "Well, bring fruit or somethin' next time. Anyways, once you two are done, I figure we'll start with..."

She flipped through the papers on her clipboard, finding the Practice drills once again. "... I guess we'll start with a fifteen minute run around the gym. You ...

Anna grinned at her teammates as they arrived and sat down on the bleachers. She was admittedly comforted to see that most of them looked more awake than she was.

Anna flipped through the pages on her clipboard, showing the ones that applied to the topic to Mal. "Yeah, I've got some ideas, but ...

'What the hell was I thinking?'

Anna trudged into the gym early one Saturday morning, a Dunkin' Donuts iced latte in one hand, her gym bag in the other.

'8:30.... I should still be in bed....'

She had made the mistake of scheduling practice for her Power Ball team at 8:30 in the morning. It ...

Anna shrugged, checking her watch too. They should probably get started soon..... but no rush.

"Sure. Lemme make a few phone calls, see if I can get a few more people to swing by."

I opened my eyes slowly... damn that sun was bright. Wait, sun? Oh shit. Not again . I knew mom was gonna freak this time. I had enough trouble convincing her I slept over at the dorms last time I'd dozed off on the water, and I knew she wasn't goin' for it this time. Great. Reluctant to go home and ...

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.... I swear I was gonna lose it.

"Mom, ease up! Its not like they're gonna come in here and tell me I have a week to live or somethin', geez...."

My mom stopped her pacing for a moment and looked at me in a really weird way; her ...

Anna tossed her gym bag as she walked into the gym, watching it slide until it hit the stands. She took a look around, taking in the room that she was to be stuck in for the next several hours. Recently cleaned floors, all lights working properly, the stands seemed be pulling out properly...

Yup ...

*shrugs* Ehh, yeah, but I'll get over that homesickness soon enough, Mal. Hopefully. The water around here is just gross, though. Don't think I'll ever get over that...

Oh, and Sam, I asked my mom if she knew how to make meatloaf, so we could have you over and stuff. She said she didn't, but you're ...

September, 2008

Anna stumbled up the stairs of the apartment building, her vision obscured by the big box she had in her arms. She felt her way around the hallway, bumping into a few unhappy residents along the way (she hoped they weren't her neighbors!); she'd just give a strained "Sorry ...
