Renlin sort of missed summer. He missed the lake, his boat, and the effect the water had on him. The endless days spent basking in the sun and the serene mornings out on the dock. He missed it all. Though he enjoyed the company he found here at school, aside from Dante spending the summer with them, he liked being surrounded by people. The bustling energy of others was something he thrived on. He missed the casual gatherings, the impromptu parties, and even the simple joy of seeing familiar faces every day.

Cute intro

@Madilfill

no cooks coming in and yelling at them for eating this ice cream

It’s the shared kitchen in the dorm wingggg
For students to have midnight snacks and stuff the slides say

@Madilfill

He glanced at Vinnie, grateful for his friend’s presence. The worries and tension from the fight seemed to melt away with each spoonful of ice cream.

Awww

@Madilfill

He wished there was a lake here as well.

I always imagined the school being right on the coast with the sea behind it
Prolly just me tho

@Madilfill

That spot had become his secret, a place where he could escape and pretend he was back on the lake, if only for a moment. It wasn’t the same.

Ahhh secret places
Wait wasn’t the same?

@Madilfill

He had painted his initials there with his symbol on a tree. It was a habit of his, marking all the places he discovered with a little piece of himself. If anyone else ever found these hidden spots, they’d know they weren’t alone. It was a silent connection, a message to the unknown wanderers who might stumble upon his marks. This particular place, with its serene pond and abandoned hotel, was special. His initials and symbol felt like a secret signature, a way to leave a bit of his soul in his favorite hidden sanctuary.

So da magic

@Madilfill

His soul now felt very torn apart, frayed at the edges. It wasn’t his usual self. The dreams were so vivid, so real, they seemed to be chipping away pieces of him. He used to be able to just forget, to brush off the lingering shadows of sleep, but not anymore

So this curse has been intensifying hmmmm

@Madilfill

, a few others….

Oh??

@Madilfill

but Renlin didn’t feel much better himself.

@Madilfill

This year’s initiation seemed to hold a different significance, one that Renlin couldn’t quite grasp yet. Toughness? Alpha male energy?

LMAO ALPHA MALE
brutality

@Madilfill

his own sense of style might be considered questionable by others.

Facts

@Madilfill

he respected Vinnie’s approach, recognizing that everyone had their own way of handling situations

Enabler but I like the toxicity

@Madilfill

Well, you know what they say, Vinnie,” Renlin quipped with a smirk. “Behind every dork is a loyal friend keeping them in check. Consider yourself lucky.”
Renlin laughed at Vinnie’s remark. “Hey, at least I’d make a pretty cool pirate, right?” he joked, adjusting the makeshift ice pack on his face.

Aw rennie

@Madilfill

Renlin leaned in closer, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Oh, come on, Vinnie. Don’t leave me hanging. You know I live for this stuff.” He nudged his friend playfully, eager to hear the juicy details without missing a beat

ZESTY
but I like the word exploits
Good way to describe it
Good connotation

@Madilfill

spill the beans,

Hehehehe
