breakmychest | 6. video; as your body grows bigger, your mind must flower

[Spike sits in front of the camera, scowling. He's wearing a black t-shirt with safety pins stuck into it and various silver rings, plus a silver chain around his neck. His hair is bleached as usual.]

This is bollocks, you know. The whole school deal. They're just trying to grind out little mindless automatons that'll be good little cogs in the machine of society. They don't care about us learning. Just grinding out our little quirks and independent thoughts until we fit in.

Bugger that. I may go to classes and play their little games, but I don't give a crap about society, and I'm plenty happy not fitting in.

Might do this place good to have a broken cog. Shake things up a bit.

[He lights a cigarette and leans back, putting his feet on the table.]

Not that they'd ever appreciate it. Too busy being scandalized by anything different.

Stupid, mindless gits.

[ooc: William "Spike" Pratt is a senior at Westerberg High. He's sort of a rebel/troublemaker type if you couldn't tell. Feel free to mock him!]

[Yes to the nail polish, no to the eyeliner.]

Whatever. You're missing the point. Don't know why I even bother.

I'm not missing your point. [Pause, and a shrug, though obviously it's not visible.] I just don't see what's so bad about wanting to fit in sometimes.

Be one of the crowd, go through life without making any ripples? No bloody thanks. You can do it if you want, but it sounds boring to me.

What does sound fun to you? Besides the obvious cutting class, breaking rules, breaking hearts.

I do things.

[Like write poetry and get into fights, neither of which Claire needs to know.]

Things.

[A pause in the vein of 'are you srs?']

Don't fall all over yourself to get into specifics.

Do you really care?

I'm asking, aren't I?

Fine. I write a bit. I smoke, I watch telly, I'm learning guitar, all sorts of things.

What about you? Any interests outside of bouncing up and down with pompoms in short skirts?

It's not just bouncing up and down. It's a lot more work than someone who focuses on short skirts can imagine.

No offense but smoking is disgusting. What do you write about?

None of your business, and you didn't answer my question.

Guess I'm curious.

Which doesn't mean that you care.

Probably care about as much as you do.
