Dreaming in Digital

20250707 Shortbread and i were in school together, taking a science class in highschool. We sat in our desks, reading from our textbook  doing the work on the computer. We got to the activity which was like a cypher except it was relevant to our everyday life. I took a break and came back to find Shortbread's part and another student's were the opposite and solved a problem for a major health issue. On the computer, i tried to complete my cypher. when i looked up from my desk, a loner girl who dressed punk and preppy at the same time put her used mug beside me. She was a bully with a toque. You could see her belly button and she wore dark eyeshadow and liner. She told me to move so i did. 

Next, i was watching from in her house. She was in a relationship with the dance teacher. As she leaned forward into the counter, he moved in hugging her from behind. The space between their bodies enclosed showing they get physical from time to time. She turned around in his arms, wrapped hers around his neck, she kissed him. 

He pulled away. "Now is not the time," he said, smoothly. "I need to practice and so do you."

I got the impression he was injured in his last dance competition and was recovering.

She, on the other hand, had a competition against her ex-boyfriend in table tennis. He called her up to tease her. He told her, "let's practice side-by-sides."

So, against the wall, she slammed the yellow ping pong ball with her paddle in lightning speed.
