Good Meets Bad

-Bad Start

I remember the day like it was yesterday.

I was going to class, like any other 16 year old girl. Except I am not any 16 year old girl. To be honest, it was the first day, in the history of my life, that I had been on time to class. I always get in trouble, because of my smart mouth, and rebel attitude. You might already infer that I am a troublemaker, I am, but also, I am known as The Bad Girl.

Once I entered class and sat down, everyone was staring at me. But like some things never change, "What you lookin' at? Take a picture it'll last longer."

You must be thinking already that I am rude, and mean. I'm actually not, but I treat people the way they treat me. But everyone thinks that I'm mean, and a bad person. I have been through a lot. But I thought to myself if you don't show it, they won't see, and you will be fine.

Today's the first day of school, and I told myself that this would be a better and improved year. But clearly, it didn't have a good start.

-Riiiiinnnnngggg

"Okay, chill, you can do this." I thought to myself.

I looked up at the board. And running comes "the new boy"...


-Whatever

I look up to the board. And in comes the "new boy"...

He was tall, like 6'1".

"I'm very sorry I am late, I couldn't find your class. Anyway, I am Parker." Said the "new boy" to the teacher.

He had a mix of honey, caramel, and dark brown hair, deep sapphire blue eyes, and honey colored skin.

Parker's Point of View

It was the first day day of school, and I was already late.

When I finally found the class. I just barged in. I almost tackled the teacher!

"I'm very sorry I am late, I couldn't find your class. Anyway, I am Parker."

I look left. And see the prettiest girl I have ever seen.

She had the face of an angel, olive color skin, dark pink lips, big brown eyes, like the ones of a baby deer, her smile is so white, perfect, and contagious, she's speechless...

"Mr. Thompson! You can stop day dreaming and take a seat over there."

Yes! He pointed over to the empty seat next to "her". Ok, Park, chill. Play it cool, or she's never going to talk to you. You can do this.

Hahahaha

Oh no, they are laughing at me. Nice going, now she's not going to talk to you, that's for sure. You couldn't even last 3 minutes without doing something stupid.

Bad Girl's Point of View

When I get nervous I laugh. He's coming this way...WAIT...WHAT! Why is he ashamed? Could this day go any worse?

Ok, breath, he is coming this way, and he is getting closer, play it cool Ivy.

"Hey," said the "new boy".

"Whatever."

Seriously, now he is going to think you are stupid, nice going, why did I have to have a big mouth?

Ugh!


-Great...

Seriously, now he is going to think you are stupid, nice going, why did I have to have a big mouth?

Ugh!

"I'm really sorry, can we start over, by any chance?," I said.

He laughed, his laugh is so cute. "I would like to do that too," the "new boy" said.

"I am Ivy, Ivy Green, nice to meet you," I said.

"Nice to meet you too, Ivy, I am Parker, obviously, Parker Thompson," he said.

He had the perfect everything, voice, he was smart, nice, kind, lovely smile, has good manners, and so far isn't a jerk. Can he get any better?

"Ok class, today you will have to work on a project. Your partners are sitting right next to you. You have to write a literary analysis on your favorite book. It is one per couple, you will have 4 weeks to do it. I suggest you start now. Good luck," said the teacher.

"Perfect!" said the "new boy."

"Great!" I said.

"Great..." said Stacey Jackson. "Why does she get to work with him?! Ugh, I hate her. Get ready Ivy Green, I will make you miserable."


-Perfect!

"Great..." said Stacey Jackson. "Why does she get to work with him?! Ugh, I hate her. Get ready Ivy Green, I will make you miserable."

"So, what is your favorite book?" said the "new boy."

"Don't laugh at me, ok?" I said. "Its 'The Staircase' by Ann Rinaldi."

"Really? Huh."

"What? Well, anyway, what about you? What's your favorite book?"

"Well...I don't have one."

"How can you not have one?!" I said. "Well then, I guess you better start to read 'The Staircase' and we will use that book instead."

Riiinnngggg

"Well, I have to go. I'll see you around."

"Bye." said the "new boy."

I went to my locker, blushing. I can't believe it, he doesn't have a favorite book, and he is willing to read 'The Staircase'! I was wrong, he can get better. I have to go tell Nicole!

"There you are! What's wrong? Why are you blushing? Wow, you are blushing bad, very bad. What happened?" said Nicole.

Nicole is my best friend, we grew up together, we are basically sisters. We have always been next door neighbors. Nicole has long dark brown hair, which is as straight as a piece of paper, taken out of the package. She has big brown eyes. This one time we were hanging out, and it got dark, they looked just like a baby deer's eyes. She has freckles, honey colored freckles, its like someone was cooking a gingerbread man, in this case a gingerbread girl. Made of sugar cookie dough, and sprinkled some cinnamon on her nose and cheeks. She always has a book with her, at ALL times. She loves reading, sometimes I think too much, like she's seriously addicted to it! Her favorite book series are 'Harry Potter' by J. K. Rowling and 'Maximum Ride' by James Patterson.

I almost forgot, the best thing about Nicole, well one of the best things, its that she was famous even before she was born. Nicole Hamilton is Alexander Hamilton's great, great, great granddaughter. The funny thing is, she grew up not knowing that, and she ended up loving Hamilton, especially since now there is a Broadway musical.

I explained everything to Nicole.

"Yes! You finally like someone! I am so happy for you!" said Nicole

"Thanks. But I don't think he likes me."

"We will have to figure it out then." said Nicole. "Want to come over to my house after school?"

"Yes. See you in theatre!"

"Bye!"

10 minutes later...

Seriously? Is he in all my classes? Now for sure I won't be able to concentrate!

WHAT THE..? He is sitting right next to my spot.

"Are you stalking me?"

"No...."

New Boy's Point of View

Why can't I get her out of my head?! I don't have to, I can go down to the counseling office and change all my classes to be with her. That way I don't have to take her out of my head! And I will get to see her all day, everyday. Perfect!

"I would like to change my schedule. Please."

"Was there a problem?"

"No, I made a friend, and we have the same classes but at different times. And I was wondering if I could have her Same schedule. Please."

"Of course. Student names?"

"Mine is Parker Thompson. Her name is Ivy Green."

"Ok. Done. You're all set! Here you go."

"Perfect! Thank you."

I looked down at the schedule in my hand. Electives, let's see, Spanish and theatre, this will be interesting.


-His Past

"New Boy's" Point of View

I looked down at the schedule in my hand. Electives, let's see, Spanish and theatre, this will be interesting.

I personally love theatre, because I can be anyone, do anything, and forget everything.

You could say that I didn't grow up in the best childhood.

Both of my parents had addictions. My father had an alcohol addiction, and my mom had one on drugs. They were always drunk or high. They were in a car accident, when I was 9 and my sister, Mia, was 6.

We have lived with our aunt since then. She makes us feel better. She has been there for us when no one else was.

We have been through a lot. And theatre helps me forget about it all, and I can be someone with a better and different life.

Anyway, it's time to go to Spanish.

Bad Girl's Point of View

"You really are following me everywhere, aren't you?"

Hahaha

There goes his adorable laugh again, help me, my heart, it's melting...

"Sure, let's go with that," he said.

He's blushing! Now his cheeks have more color than before, oh my...

"IVY!!" said Nicole. "Stop daydreaming, we have to work on our project, it's due on Friday."

Ugh..I hate doing projects. Except in theatre.

"Fine," I said.

"Thank you."

"Hey Ivs, what are you guys doing for your project?" said Jackson.

Let me introduce Jackson, he is the school's "bad boy" he looks though and everything, but he actually has a very good heart, and is very funny. He is one of my best friends too.

"Nicole, what are we doing again?" I said.

"This girl, I swear. We are doing an essay on...choose a book Ivs." said Nicole.

"The Staircase." I said. Without thinking it twice.

"You and your obsession with that book. Why do you love it so much anyway?" said Jackson.

"Shut up."

"Ivy, listen carefully."

"What do you want?"

"MAKE ME!" said Jackson.

"You shouldn't have done that." said Nicole.

"Why?"

The next thing he knows, I punch him in the mouth, but a soft playful punch.

Wow...he has really sensitive and thin skin.

He's bleeding, just a little...nope, a lot. But it was a soft punch!

Ok, why is he crying?

"Why? Why did you have do hit me in my beautiful face?"

"You are so obnoxious. And I was just fixing it for you."

"Ms. Green and Mr. Jackson, to the principal's office, NOW!" said the teacher.

Here we go again...


-Principal's Office

"Ms. Green and Mr. Jackson, to the principal's office, NOW!" said the teacher.

Here we go again...

This has happened many times before. Usually we both get detention for a week, get a referral, go home for the day, and we still hangout.

But this time, it was different.

"Ms. Green, Mr. Jackson. When will you both learn how to behave? I think it is time we give you a real consequence, because you both seem to enjoy the other punishments I have given you so far, I need to give you something that will make you think of never misbehaving again," said the principal.

New Boy's Point of View

"Where is Ivy?" I said.

"At the principal's, again. With Jackson. Why?" said Nicole.

"Just wondering."

"Ok."

Then Ivy and Jackson came in, and they didn't look happy, at all.

"Ivs, Jack, what's wrong?" said Nicole.

"We...got...well..." said Ivy.

"JUST GET TO THE POINT!" said Nicole.

"Jeez woman...I mean, Nicole, calm down! We have to be in the school play. We don't have a choice." said Jackson.

"Thank you for correcting your mistake, because you know what happened last time when you called Ivy woman."

"Trust me, I remember." He looked in so much pain, even though it was months ago!

"But Ivy, you like acting. I know you don't Jack, but you do Ivs." said Nicole.

"I do, but I also have to tutor," when she said that, she looked like she was going to throw up. "I have to tutor Pierre." said Ivy.

"NO WAY! That is so mean! How dare he give you that punishment?" said Nicole.

Riiinnnggg

Ok, school is over, time to go home.

"Bye, see you tomorrow Jackson, Parker, let's go home Nicole." I said.

Who is Pierre?

Bad Girl's Point of View

"You will both be in the play," said the principal.

"Great!" I said.

"Great..." said Jackson.

"And...Ivy, you will have to tutor someone, because you and Nicole are the best students this school has, so you will be tutoring Mr. Peterson."

STOP THE WORLD! DID HE JUST SAY WHAT I THINK HE SAID?!!

"WHAT?!!!" I said.

Hahaha

"Oh, shut up," I said. "I will tutor anyone else, I'll do anything, just don't make me tutor him. Please. I'm begging you, please!"

"No, it has been decided, you will start tutoring him on Monday, and that's final. Now, go back to class. And I don't want to see the both of you here in a while, so behave."

UGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY?!!! WHY ME?!!! WHY HIM??!!!

First, let me explain, Pierre Peterson is the biggest player in the whole world. He has dated, every girl in the state, probably the whole country. Only Nicole and I haven't dated him. We used to all be great friends growing up, it was our squad, like you call it now a days, Nicole, Jackson, Pierre, and I were always together, then we got to middle school, and we all changed, but he changed the most, he became popular on the first day, and the rest of us, well we became memories. We have "hated" each other since then, but well, that is a story for another day, but this is not even punishment. This. Is. Child. Abuse. I. Demand. Justice.

End of the Day

I went to my locker, extremely upset.

"Hey cutie."

WHAT THE...?!


-The Kiss

I went to my locker, pissed.

"Hey cutie."

WHAT THE...?!

I turned around slowly...UGH...it's HIM...

"First of all, I'm not an mandarin. Second of all, what do you want?"

"I just heard great news. You will be my tutor!"

"We both know you don't need a tutor. You are just doing this, to add me to your "list". I'm telling you now, you are just going to waste your time..."

Bad Boy's Point of View

Blah...blah...blah...blah...

Gosh, she talks too much!

But God, look at her lips, her eyes, she still looks the same, I really miss old times, I wish I could go back in time and fix my mistakes, if only she knew the truth...

Bad Girl's Point of View

He's not even listening! Wait, what is he doing?

HE'S KISSING ME!!

God, if only he knew how badly I want this, but I can't...I shouldn't...but I really want to...

Oh well.

Bad Boy's Point of View

She wants this too! She's kissing me back!

She pulls herself from our kiss.

"Stop, we are at school, and we promised we wouldn't of this again. We can't break the promise. Let's just hope Nicole doesn't find out, because if she does, then we are dead."

"Ok, wait," I grab her wrist. "Don't go...I need you."

"I need you too, but now that I will tutor you, we can do things like we used to do before, when we were younger. Before..." she looks sad. She looked at the floor, I lift her chin.

"No don't get sad, if you get sad, then I get sad. And that's in the past. And it happened. There's nothing we can do about it, now. But yes, I would love to do that. Come over to my house everyday after school. Starting Monday."

I kiss her cheek.

I just realized that I am holding her hand. I squeeze it. And I hug her. She still uses the same perfume, and it's so intoxicating....

She started to walk away.

I lean back against the lockers. Looking at her walk away. She looks back. She smiles. I throw my head back at the locker. I pass my hand through my hair. God, this girl...








-Our Past

Bad Boy's Point of View

I lean back against he lockers. Looking at her walk away. She looks back. She smiles. I throw my head back at the locker. I pass my hand through my hair. God, this girl...

I should probably explain everything from the beginning.

Ivs and I have the same birthday, we were destined to be best friends, before day one. Our parents have always been friends, and that was kind of passed down to us. She was born two minutes before me.

TWO FREAKING MINUTES!

She always make a big deal out of it.

Anyway...

We grew up together. I have 5 sisters, and I kind of know how a girl brain works, but when it comes to Ivy, I never know what is going to happen, or what she is going to do. She's...unpredictable...

Well, when I am with her, my hopes go up, every moment with her is special, its an adventure...until she punches you in the chest..."playfully", yeah right.

We would always play pranks on people, especially the "popular" people, but then I became one, and everything changed...

We stopped hanging out, we stopped talking, she started changing, she acted like she didn't know me...

So we grew apart. We have always had a "thing" but we both have never admitted it. But I never lost my feelings for her...but now someone is challenging me. Apparently. But now that there is this "new boy" trying to take her away from me...he will not win. I WILL WIN HER HEART BACK EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!!

Bad Girl's Point of View

I started to walk away. I looked back. Winked and smiled at him. Then I turned away, and started walking to theatre. I remember all of our good memories together, the good times. I couldn't help but blush and smile. I haven't smiled this much in a long time...apparently.

I walked in the door. And the first thing that I saw was Faith and Elana fighting and Nicole yelling at them to stop. I laughed because I remembered this post that my brother sent me the other day. He is 14. And has a phone, he is obsessed with memes. It's so annoying. It's like...GROW UP ALREADY!! Anyway, it said, "We all have that one friend who acts like they're YOUR PARENT." And that is Nicole at times with us. We are so childish and clumsy, that we need a "mom" with us all the time. Especially Faith, she is so clumsy, she hurts herself like every 2 seconds, then she falls on the ground a lot. But she's fine, she's like a cat, just with more lives, actually, infinity amount of lives. *SPOILER ALERT* Cats don't really have 7 lives. Don't ask how I know. It was Jackson's idea. Oh, the good times...

"IVY!!!!! Stop day-dreaming for once. They are not listening to me. Go yell at them." said Nicole.

When we are with Faith and Elana, Nicole is the mom, and I'm like the dad. But no one knows this about Nicole, she is actually not Ms. Perfect or Ms. Smartypants as some people call her. She is very funny and nice. I'm pretty sure that I am the only one that knows this because, after all I am her best friend. When we are alone, outside of school, we always act like we are drunk. And we DON'T CARE! I love that girl so much.

I walked over to Faith and Elana. I should probably describe them first. Faith Adams, is very clumsy as you already know. Over the summer, she died her hair a different color every week, but she always left one piece of the previous color to remember it. So right now it looks like a unicorn threw up on her, and the unicorn ate Lucky Charms before that. She always gets detention, because she also has a big mouth, we are very familiar in the sense that we get in trouble. Her real hair color is really light blonde, and it looks like gold and silver, so I don't understand why she did that, but I can't judge. She has small, salmon colored lips. She has chubby cheeks like me ;) and her eyes are her eyes are a mix of the ocean and the sky, it's between a deep sunny ocean blue, and a light clear summer sky. We always have fun together we are both crazy in every way. I just don't show it as much as she does at school.

Elana Gilbert, she has long hair, that is so straight that not even heat can curl it. Her hair looks more like caramel than actual caramel. She has cherry red lips. Her eyes are like two sapphires. She is very funny and nice. She loves horses and has one. When we met, it was at school, but I never thought I would see her that often out of school. My dad always wanted me to learn how to ride. Just in case something happens I need to be prepared for any situation, so I pretty much know how to ride or drive or sail anything, and have many survival skills. He took both my brother and I to this place where we could learn how to ride, and Elana works there. So she is teaching me how to ride, and now I know many more facts about horses thanks to her.

When I went over to yell at them, they were insulting each others appearance.

"Isn't this like the 2 time this week?" said Nicole.

"Yeah, I think so. BOTH OF YOU. CUT IT OUT. We have talked about this. Both of you apologize and go to your seats, and think of what you have done." I said.

"Nice, I think this is the best time you have yelled at them." whispered Nicole in my ear.

"Yeah, but something tells me it won't be the last."

I went to my spot, and in comes the "new boy".

"OH, COME ON!!" I yelled.

"Sorry, I thought I said that internally." Crap, everyone heard me. "I died in the game I'm playing, and I was already very far in it." I lied but no one needs to know. I really think that he is following me around, on purpose. I'm going to have to tell Jackson and Quincy about this.


-Wait, What?

"Sorry, I thought I said that internally." Crap, everyone heard me. "I died in the game I'm playing, and I was already very far in it." I lied but no one needs to know. I really think that he is following me around, on purpose. I'm going to have to tell Jackson and Quincy about this.

After School

*dials number*

"Yes? Ivy, why are you calling me on my cell phone? You know the rules." said Jackson.

"I know, but it's important. It's about the new kid."

"What is it?"

"I think he is following me around. He is in all of my classes, and sits next to me in all of them. And it just seems weird."

"Maybe the kid is smart like you and likes your same electives."

"Really? If that's the case, then you are telling me that he is in my dance class because he likes it?"

"There is nothing wrong with a guy to like dancing."

"IT'S AN ALL GIRL CLASS!!"

"Ok, that's weird."

"Really? I didn't know that."

"Ok, no need to get all sassy on me. What do you think is going on?"

"I have no clue yet, I mean I barely know him, I'm going to need more time to take notes on him."

"Don't tell me you are going to..."

"Yes, I'm going to go stalker mode on him. And I need your help. You are a great hacker, and you can track anyone to even before they were born. It will be like the old days, you and me together as PARTNERS solving the same case. So, what do you say?"

"Ugh...fine. But you owe me. I am going to need his full name, where he is from and age. And if you can, where he lives. And you said that this guy likes you right?"

"I don't know, that's what the girls said. Wait, what?! NO WAY! I'm NOT doing that!"

"You have to. It's the only way you will be able to get some info out of him."

"UGH...fine. But I'm telling Quincy first."

"Don't. He is going to ask for prove, real evidence right there and then. We can't tell him yet."

"But what if something happens?"

"Looks like we are on our own for this one."


-On Our Own

"Looks like we are on our own for this one."

We have never done anything like this on our own. I know we are older. But we could be in serious danger. That's why we always need back up.

"O..o..k."

"Ivy, are you scared?"

"Pff, no. Ok, maybe a little."

"Do you want me to come over and talk?"

"Yes please, my parents are out of town for work, and my brother is with his friends. I'm all alone, and if my prediction is right, he is coming after me. I know how to defend myself, you know that. But being with you always calms me down."

"That's fine. When are we going to tell everyone the truth?"

"We can't, you know that. We will get in trouble."

"I know, but it feels bad to lie to everyone."

"I know."

New Boy's Point of View

"So, did you do what I asked you?"

"Yes sir, everything is going according to your plan."

"Good, I don't want anyone to ruin this, I need to get my revenge, and you get something out of this too you know. Mess it up and the deal is off, and say good-bye forever."

"Yes sir."

*hangs up phone call*

"So whatcha doin'?"

*horror movie scream*

"MIA! You scared me."

"Obviously, if I hadn't scared you wouldn't have screamed like a little girl watching 'The Shinning'."

"What do you want."

"Who were you talking with? Is it about that girl Ivy Green?"

"Yes. And I need your help."

Nicole's Point of View

Where are they? I looked back at the texts they sent me.

Ivs: Nicole we need your help.

Nicole: WHAT HAPPENED??!! JACKSON WHAT DID YOU DO???!!!

Jack: Nothing, this time.

Ivs: It's true. But we need your help, did you bring what I asked you for?

Nicole: Yes. Where are you?

The last text was read 14 minutes ago. I looked up, they still aren't here!

"BOO!"

"JACKSON!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!" I said.

"Why are you going to kill me when it wasn't me?"

"IVY!", I started hitting Ivy. "You know I hate it when you guys do that."

"Au, au, au, STOP! You are hurting me."

"Sorry."

"You should have seen your face...." her voice faded away slowly.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Look behind you."

"NO FREAKING WAY!"

New Boy's Point of View

"Did you find anything?"

"Apparently she is a very important person."

"Why?"

"I mean look at all this. She is practically a celebrity. You are going to need to be careful, one wrong move and everything goes down the drain."


-Dun...dun...dun!

"I mean look at all this. She is practically a celebrity. You are going to need to be careful, one wrong move and everything goes down the drain."

"I'm going to need you to find all the information you can on her for me. And I will mention you to The Boss. You will finally not be a trainee after that."

"Perfect! I will help you, but only with one condition."

"What is it?"

"You have to get me a date with Jackson. He's popular, and apparently him and Ivy had a past. We can take advantage of this and make both of them miserable."

"I like how you think. Just please don't physically torture him. I know you got that from mom, but we can get all the information we need from them just by doing what we did last time."

My sister turned around in her chair, she was shocked for some reason.

"What? What's wrong?"

"You like this girl."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do, that's why you are fine with me taking Jackson away from her. But that's fine I get the guy, you get the girl and we both get a promotion. It all works out perfectly."

"Anyway, let's make a plan..."

The Boss' Point of View

I walked over to her portrait.

"I will get my revenge for you my love. She will pay. They all will. Both the Green's and the Thompson's will too. I will make sure they suffer and pay for what they did to you. We will meet again soon. I promise. Before they broke our family, we had twins, and I am planning on using them to get our revenge on them. You should see them, they have grown up so much. They look just like you. They have the same fire in their eyes as you used to."

"Mayhem, go tell my kids that I need to speak with them, it's time to SHINE."

Later that night

"So you understand what you need to do. And remember don't get attached. That mistake runs in our family."

"Now go rest, this is important and you have to do it right, and as soon as possible."

Bad Girl's Point of View

"Jackson?"

"Yes?"

"I'm scared. I don't want to die. It's too soon for that."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, I'll keep you safe, no matter if it's the last thing I do."

Good thing it was dark in my room, he couldn't see me blushing. Next thing I know, I grab his hand spontaneously. He was surprised at first, but then he gave in and ddi the same with my hand. I appreciate everything in my life and everyone in it. Especially after everything.


-Somethings Never Change

Good thing it was dark in my room, he couldn't see me blushing. Next thing I know, I grab his hand spontaneously. He was surprised at first, but then he gave in and ddi the same with my hand. I appreciate everything in my life and everyone in it. Especially after everything.

Last night I thought a lot about, just, life. I thought about Jackson and I. And about Parker. I had no idea if he was really coming after me or he just had a crush on me. But I didn't have a good feeling about all of this...from the beginning anyway.

The Next Day

I woke up, and felt arms around me. Hugging me to be exact. It was Jackson, I remember over the summer when he told me; "you are my favorite thing to cuddle." I remembered that right now. And I smiled, I think I blushed a little too, and went back to sleep.

"Ivy, wake up..."

I heard something, but I didn't really hear it.

"IVVVVYYYYYY!!!!"

He shook me as hard as he could. I fell off the bed.

"Opps..."

"Yeah, 'opps'."

"I should probably run now..."

"Yeah."

He stormed out of the room. All I could do was laugh.

"Oh, I forgot. I made breakfast it's in the kitchen..."

I threw a pillow at him.

"I'm going to go now."

That boy, always makes me mad at him, and always makes me smile. I sometimes want him to leave me alone, and then I miss him when he does. There is something about him, that when we touch, I want more. Even though I know I can't have more because of the rules. But he was my first love, and still is my only one. But now I have to act like I have a crush for Parker, I don't want him to think I don't like him anymore. He has always been jealous of other guys, somethings just never change. Like our friendship, his jealousy, my love for him...our profession. If I could, I would give it all up for him. But I made a promise, and I can't break it. I have never broken a promise nor a dare, that's not a thing people should do, and I've never done that, and I'm not willing to start now.
