And I Must Spork: Maradonia, Part II

Nov 01, 2010 23:09

And we're back! Roooound 2. *dings bell*

You know who I am. You know what this is about. You know what I'm drinking. If you don't, where have you been? Go read part one, ya spanner.

Now, let's get started.

Previously on Marado- yeah, no. Fuck that.

CHAPTER 2 - SCHOOL FIGHT



Awww shit, bitch just got real! Seriously, what is this picture? Who are these people?? If you're going to draw bad art, at least be consistent. Neither of these girls look like Maya from the Chapter One pic, but I'm guessing the one with the lacing on the jacket and skirt is Alana, because as we know, only bullies and Goth chicks wear clothes like that. [/sarcasm]

Okay, sorry. Focus.

A couple more months pass, and surprise surprise, Maya and Alana still don't get along.

Every time Maya said something, Alana replied something ugly in return.

Ugly? Really? Even when I was 13, I could phrase it better than this. Let me try... *ahem*. "It seemed that every time Maya spoke, Alana was ready with a snide comment or rude remark." Better already, no?

Aaaand it's lunchtime! Alana's name is brought up in conversation at Maya's lunch table, and of course, Alana hears it and walks over with her friends. This whole bit strikes me as hilarious:

When she finally arrived at the table she said "If you wanna say somethin' say it to ma face!"

Ma face. Not even joking. Ma face. I just. I can't EVEN. But yes, of course, Maya said nothing about Alana, because she's the protagonist, and denies such.

Then Alana's friends stormed over to Maya's table and yelled, "Girl, you are jus' askin' for it!"



Gurrrrrrrrl.

Sorry; couldn't help it.

So then an administrator randomly walks into the lunch room, making Alana and Co. back off. But of course, she's not done with Maya yet (bum bum buuuuuuuum).

Of course, Maya hides! I would want to avoid getting beaten up myself, so I can actually relate to this. She makes a run for her locker, but oh snap, Alana sees her. Soon enough, Maya gets slapped, then punched. And it's a real fight (I think the way Alana slammed Maya's locker door would have been a good enough indication of what was going to happen).

But Mein Gott, what do we have here?

Maya grabbed Alana's long dark hair and pushed her down. Maya had never told anybody before in the school that she was a 'Black Belt', one of the highest ranked belts in Karate.

The Sue. It BURNS. Three drinks for the normal reasons. \~/\~/\~/ Seriously, if Maya had a black belt in karate, why the hell was she running?! I know, better the fight avoided, but goddamn. I wouldn't have even let Alana touch me.

We then get a description of Maya's 'focus' on Alana and how she just kept hitting, complete with sitting on top of her and 'smacking her face'; those were Gtesch's words, not mine. Once Alana starts crying, Maya lets her go and Alana runs away. Of course, all the students are in awe of Maya's strength. Also took a drink (\~/) for:

Nobody had expected that Maya had smacked Alana, one of the strongest 'bullies' to the ground.

... That was not a smack. That was a full blown ass-kicking. Goddamn, first you emphasize her awesome skill, then understate it?

Then she sees Joey, who's just as astonished as anyone, which I don't get. How do you keep the fact you're a black belt a secret from your own family? How?! I demand an answer to this.

Maya and Alana later get called to the office, where the 'Assistant Principal' (\~/) gives Maya one day of suspension, and Alana three since she started it.

And now, of course, Maya was seen in a totally different light at school.

When Maya came back to school many students looked at her and whispered, "That's the girl, the one who 'wopped' Alana!"

... You have got to be fucking kidding me. Wait, no. You're not. You're Gloriia Tesch. Aaaaagh, aggravation drink! \~/

END Chapter 2. Fuck my life.

CHAPTER THREE - THE PARTY



Allow me to apologize here if some pictures are fuzzy/dark; I take the pictures with my digital camera, and while I do the best I can, it's difficult with the lighting in this room. Bear with me though.

Back on topic...

Oh boy, a party! Joey's friend, Derrick Jones, is one of his 'skateboard buddies' (\~/). Derrick's little brother and mom share a birthday, so it's a birthday party. Obviously. Oh, and apparently the only reason Joey invited Maya was because the fight between Maya and Alana had made him even more popular. Way to be a dick! But hey, I know brothers who act like this, so at least it's accurate.

Now, does Maya go 'you douche' and let Joey go to the party by himself?

Maya was really disappointed when she heard what Joey's reason for her invitation was and she said sarcastically, "What a privilege..." but then she said, "Okay... I'll go with you!"

Two drinks. \~/\~/

And the party ensues! Gloria makes sure to point out Maya is wearing a brand new outfit as she walks around, alone, due to Joey going off with his friends and the only other group of people being adults, which of course, nobody wants to talk to.

Unsure how to deal with this clearly lame party, Maya decides to walk outside. Always a good option, right? Not when your brother decides to be a dick and shove you into the pool. And you hit your head on a sharp corner on the way down.

Now, I'm no medical expert, but hitting one's head like that... isn't that a killing blow?

The pool water was cold and dark. Suddenly she saw a bright, blue light and she heard a very distant voice of a woman calling her, "Maya... Maya... come and help us... come... and help us..."

With a twinkling of an eye the thought hit her mind, "Who needs my help? I'm the one who needs help and I need the help now because I am at the edge of drowning?"

Oi. \~/ I know those ellipses are actually being useful here but geez. Also, how the fuck can she possibly think straight when she's drowning? Gaaaah! \~/

Fortunately (or unfortunately), she is saved by the doorman, who apparently is also the lifeguard at the hotel where this party is taking place.

So what does her brother do upon seeing his bleeding sister being dragged out of the pool? He laughs at her with his friends. The title of this chapter should be changed to "Joey Is An Asshole".

Then Maya sees doves, and her head gets bandaged, but she just wants to go home, not to a hospital. She keeps hearing voices asking for her help, and she takes the time to point out one of the doves had a golden tail feather. Foreshadowing, or pointless detail? Only time will tell.

The guard explains that those doves led him to the pool where he saw her almost drown. Aw, how Disney of you, Gloria.

"It seems to me as if you are very special to them and I have the feeling that they are trying to deliver some kind of a message."

How is a lowly doorman-slash-lifeguard able to ascertain this? They could have just been smart birds, pulling a Lassie.

Oh snap, it finally hits Joey that he fucked up. How? Because of Maya's ruined outfit. Does he apologize? No, of course not. Instead, he begs Maya not to tell his parents and makes his sister cry. What an 'ugly attitude' (\~/) as Gtesch puts it.

Joey is a motherfucking dick.

End chapter, thank God.

CHAPTER FOUR - AT THE PEBBLE BEACH



The story skips ahead a couple of months to Thanksgiving (which is NOT capitalized, goddammit (\~/)), which boggles my mind. I wanted a scene where Joey got punished for his actions, but then I remembered what I was reading. I need to lower my expectations.

Joey and Maya (holy shit she reversed the order (\~/)) are on the way to the beach when they run into an old man named Mr. Perkins. He says they should always stay on the north side of the beach. Yay for paranoid old people!

"The south side of the beach is a pretty dangerous place", said Mr. Perkins, "and it is called the 'Pebbles Beach' because it has many rocks and stones on the beach, sharp oyster beds in the shallow waters and even underwater 'currents'. Several people disappeared in the past in that area. Their bodies were never found and it is anyway forbidden to trespass in that region."

Drinks aside... \~/\~/\~/ Wow, thanks Mr. Perkins! No way would anyone sane want to go there, right?

Wait. Shit. We forgot Joey was here, and his imagination gets 'set under fire' (lol) about the pebble beach. He decides to go check it out, and of course, Maya agrees to tag along, because she's a dumb girl with no backbone at this point.

The south beach is pretty nice, Maya goes napping-slash-swimming and Joey goes exploring. She also started to think about the doves from the day she almost drowned.

Maya opened her eyes and before she knew it... she was yelling, "Yes, and what about the doves?"

I get the feeling that there should be an exclamation point in there somewhere... Oh, and drink. \~/

Having had enough, Maya goes back to get her stuff, but oh shit, where's Joey? She goes around the beach to look for him, but all she finds are doves, like the ones she saw at the party.

Is it a sign? Probably. But weren't you doing something? Like look for your brother?

And didn't Mr. Perkins say people had a habit of disappearing?

Chapter ends here~

Drink count: 5

Total drinks this spork: 42

Look, Gtesch, I know you're trying to set up the story, but come on. Over four chapters, nothing has been DONE. I'm actually starting to get bored. Or I would be, were I expecting a good story. Sigh.

Anyway, this is all I can handle, for now. Now that I'm in the story, updates will now be 4 to 5 chapters long, since they're pretty short. I will try to update daily, but as I am a college student, don't be shocked if a day goes by where I don't update. There's only so much of this shitty book I can take.

See ya'll next time~!

sporking, maradonia
