Smiling, she took a seat as her partner wrote her name out on a piece of parchment before handing it over. Anyone else was more than welcome to join, but so far it seemed that everyone was content to form up with other partners or into little groups of three. It was fine though because her and Norah were totally rocking this thing.
Taking the offered piece of paper, Lux nodded. "LUX DELILAH CARRRINGTON" was scribbled on a blank piece of paper and slid over towards her partner. "And here is mine." Ewww about the middle name though; she hated having Delilah as her middle name.
Anyway.
They were supposed to calculate for the middle and last names, right? Below Norah's whole name Lux added a little bit:
There. All she needed to do now was record the number equivalent to each letter and do the addition. Easy peasey lemon squeezy. Norah glanced down at the parchment Lux had handed her before beaming up at her. "Delilah is a cooool name." Her tongue felt all funny when she said it, it was like singing. Much cooler than Lillian, anyways. One day she was gonna change her middle name to McSparklez or something and then she'd really be cool. Heh.
The fourteen year old (that big number was STILL exciting to think about) wrote each letter of Lux's name with enough space for her calculations 'n all that, then pulled her textbook so it was right under her nose. She slowly added up the sums on her parchment according to the pytha-something thingy, then flipped all the way back to chapter 28 again. Phew. That could be all her exercise for the day, thank you very much. Her noodle arms felt all wobbly after all that flipping.
Aaaaand phew AGAIN. 'Cause man, maths made her brain do all the hurting things. Norah paused to look around the room at all the other people doing their calculation thingies. Hi people. People were much more interesting than calculations, but Lux was still waiting for Norah to describe her whole entire life to her which was pretty darn important if you thought about it. It was like she was in charge of what happened! She was the queen of the world, or Lux's world anyways. Except really the numbers were in charge. Way to ruin the fun, numbers. They always did that.
The third year reread the letter descriptions slowly before looking at the older girl and grinning. "I guess I'll tell you about your life then. So, um, you already did the physical one so I can start with mental...right?" Her hazel eyes widened. That was okay, yeah? She was just over here trying to not make a fool of herself by looking dumb in front of a real live teenager. Not that Norah wasn't a teenager, 'cause she WAS, but Lux was even more of one so she was importanter. "So you're gonna do healthy type stuff for a few years." Sucks for her, that meant VEGGIES. "And then you're gonna be inspiring and helpful. Maybe you'll help people for your job! Or at school. And then you'll spend a lot of time considering your future, but after that you're gonna have a lot of emotions and stress but also success? So maybe your big decision was about a good but stressful job!" MAN, she could be a professional. "And theeeen some more considering and decisions, and after that you'll come up with a lot of cool ideas but also need a lot of love. I dunno why, though." she paused and squinted at her paper, " And now the spiritual one! You'll start out really creative and make some new friends." That made sense at the beginning 'cause people usually didn't start out with a lot of friends. "And after that you'll have even more creativity and new perspectives on life and stuff. Then you'll spend 18 whole years dealing with money and power and insight." Maybe she'd be in charge of something. "Then nine years of a lot more emotions. I think getting old is emotional or something. And then you're gonna be forgetful and need a lot of exercise! That definitely sounds like old people. Plus some adventures." Not that Lux was even gonna be thaaat old at that point, but old-ER so it counted. "After that you'll have a lot of emotions, but not good ones all the time. Next you're still gonna have a lot of emotions but also lots of learning. Maybe you'll learn to control your emotions. And fiiiinally at the very end you're gonna have even MORE emotional experiences, so maybe you didn't learn to control those yet. And then you'll do more forgetting and searching for love." Jeez louise, that took AGES. "And that's it." TA DAAA!
