(Un)Fortunate Me/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


At dinner that Friday, Brooke, Delilah, and I were waiting in line. I stepped in front of Brooke, saying, "Line jump!"

She went back in front of me. "Line jump!"

"Line jump!" I said, getting in front again.

"Line jump!"

"Line jump!"

This went on for two minutes, before we both said, "Truce."

Delilah stepped in front of both of us while we said it, and then whispered, "Line jump."

    • Alilah for Alec/Delilah
    • Ack for Adele/Patrick
    • Milaffron for Milo/Saffron
    • Falec for Fala/Alec
    • Brorora for Brooke/Aurora
  • The Woobie: Adele when all her friends turn on her. She's resigned to Eating Lunch Alone, no one speaks to her, and only Alec stands by her.
    • Delilah, too. She doesn't have it too bad most of the time, but the guy she likes ends up with Fala, it's implied shown that she's overshadowed by her sisters, she always loses to Sophia... In short, the girl can't catch a break.
