Okay, look I might not be the most social butterfly at school. I know I'm not the most academically gifted. My interests lie elsewhere and my brother knows that. My brother is also my teacher for the first time ever in a city that is not exactly big enough for people to easily forget things. In fact, it kinda sounds like everyone has the exact opposite problem.

So, why oh why, did he feel a need to just torpedo any kind of anonymity I may have been enjoying and lack of spotlight to go and blurt out my FAMILY nickname in class? Does he want me to just die from embarrassment? Did he need to give me more reason to not want to go to school?

I love my brother, but honestly - we needed to be at seperate schools for a reason. Or at least never the same class. It's called maintaining order!

[ ~~Natasha~~ Natalie is 16 and the sister of

what is your name? if you don't mind me asking.

short and to the point.

prompto argentum
some popular choices are "prom" but do i wanna be a high school dance? do i really??

i like nat a lot better than nattie too

i could have just read that for myself... don't mind me. focusing is not my strong suit. and no, no you do not. not if you're trying to be a bad ass punk rocker. what about things you like or do? they're not always taken from your name.

me too! nattie makes me feel like i'm six again, not sixteen. nat fits me more, i think. painter and drummer. nattie just sounds like unicorns and rainbows.

nah no biggie kinda like how we ask people something when we could google it first right?
feed that human interaction
i've been called 'chocobo head' and 'chocobutt' but the biggest offender is 'prommy'

you play drums? that's pretty neat

it's true. but also a reason why me and schoolwork don't really get on. give me a paintbrush and human interaction any day. assuming they're cool humans.
i did not just giggle-snort at 'chocobutt'. ew, no, why?! who gave you that one? they need to be punished. do they not like you?

yeah, i do. not as much as i paint though. i guess it's a hobby? painting is my passion. always has been. i did some drumming for a friend and his albums.

english was always a huge bummer for me so i get it
i preferred the maths though not really that good with creating things with my hands
unless it's taking pictures of stuff

lol it's my hair apparently looks like a chocobo
and yup i wondered the same
don't call me prommy plz nat

bet you do crazy good stuff
ever showcased your art around?

every subject is a bummer for me.
it drives my brother crazy, and now i get him as a teacher, so...
woe is me, right?
maths is even worse for me than any other subject.
oh, you're a photographer? that's awesome!

huh, that's an interesting mental image.
i won't call you prommy if you keep not calling me nattie.
but i'll come up with something for you. eventually.

is it wrong if i say that i like to think so?
it's not very humble of me.
we only moved here recently, before that it was new york.
i used to enter into comps and stuff. won a few.
haven't figured it out in this city yet.

too soon to advertise that i tutor for maths? lol
but having your bro as your teacher... bet he'll expect more from you

i'm studying to become a professional photographer! it's my dream
always been

kinda like your painting stuff
i was really into it as a kid and i'm trying to follow my dreams now
that being said i could figure out some art gallery stuff and comps for you?

nope, i don't think so. i know my brother would love it if i got tutoring. i mean, i need to pick up my grades a little to make sure i get through.
what's your rate?
exactly. it wasn't an issue until now, we were always at different schools.

i'm so jealous! well, and in awe. that's so cool. it's nice to meet someone else that has always just known.

that's exactly how it went for me.
drives my parents crazy, kinda drives foggy crazy, but he's learned to live with it. when he isn't bugging me about homework.
that would be really cool of you.
i need to work out how to return the favour.

we could help each other out then! i'm hurting for a buck and you're hurting to pass maths
$30 the hour and i promise generally it's just the hour
most of the kids i'm helping out with maths get it real quick with some cool number tricks i show them

well it wasn't as simple as that but... yeah! once you're in uni hopefully you'll be following something you love doing

and nah
don't worry about it i'm just happy to help
