𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞 . .
. . maybe you weren't as lucky as you thought you were?
// tws ; blood !! slight swearing ; gn reader ; modern & high school au, hanahaki au 
a/n: decided to write about aventurine despite the poll i'm sorry 😞 anyways lucky girl syndrome by illit is SO GOOD
you had always considered yourself lucky; whether that pertained to getting great deals, having great luck in board games, or just guessing test answers correctly. you had almost never had bad luck, and all your friends and family knew.
you were referred to as their own personal four-leaf clover, bringing good luck wherever you went.
so why did your luck suddenly falter and fail you? why did your good luck suddenly turn bad?
those were the thoughts that plagued your mind as you, hunched over a trash can, hurled up bitter pink peonies.
how could a flower that symbolized such good fortune and prosperity sprout from such a horrible condition?
coughs wracked your feeble body as more of the bubblegum colored flowers flopped into the trash can, clumped together with mucus and scarlet blood.
you gasped for air, finally able to breathe for the most part. small petals elegantly floated down and sat on top of the mucus coated flowers, sprinkled with the slightest hint of blood.
shakily you backed away, arms wrapped around your knees, of which were brought up to your head.
you buried your face in your arms, sobbing.
why did this have to happen to you? so many people in the world, yet you had to be the one spewing up damned peonies just because of a stupid unrequited love.
you wished you had never been put in the same class as aventurine, that you had never heard his laugh, never seen his stupidly pretty purple eyes or his blonde hair, never heard his voice, never laid your fucking eyes on him.
you were too scared to get the surgery--what if it failed? if your luck was failing you now, what if it backfired when you were getting the surgery too?
if you were going to die either way, you wanted to at least remembered the person while you did.
--
you changed your mind--that idea was fucking stupid.
you should've gotten the surgery when you could've, but now it was too little too late.
why did you even want to remember him? he didn't even know your damn name. he didn't even know you existed.
if only you weren't so scared to talk to him (or anyone else for that manner).
maybe if you weren't such a coward you could've been besides him right now or walking with him or watching as he gambled his luck away or talking with him or--
another cough tore you away from your thoughts. you heaved out yet another mucus covered peony. it flopped onto the ground ungracefully, staining your newly polished floors an ugly red from the blood on it.
the sickly sweet smell floral smell of peonies filled the room, making you nauseous and dizzy.
you definitely weren't as lucky as you thought you were.
--
weak coughs wracked your fragile body.
it was hard to breathe.
you felt as if the room was spinning around you, barley able to form a single thought as your oxygen was being cut off.
you laid there on your bed, suffocating slowly on rosy pink peonies.
maybe two lucky people just aren't meant to be together.

18th April - 26 Days until Finals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I studied for about 1hr 30min. I went for a walk with my mom. I lost 6-0 to my little brother in monopoly deal :/ but it was fun. Overall, i'd say my day was productive.
I hv to get out more often cos i absolutely don't so that's my goal
What i did:
Learnt about theories of emotion, expressing emotion, stuff about autonomous nervous system, etc etc
Made questions/flashcards on those topics
According to Yerkes-Dodson's law, your performance increases with stress/anxiety but only up to a point. When your level of stress is too low or too high, your performance deteriorates.
So gentle reminder, don't stress out too much or..too little :)
You got this! 💪💖

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 . .
. . maybe you and alhaitham were just never meant to be.
// tws ; blood ! possible alluding to reader’s death? ; gn reader ; modern & high school au, hanahaki au 
a/n: stan twice
unrequited.
you knew your love was of that nature, yet you couldn’t help but yearn for it.
for the delicate and feathery touch of the scribe’s love.
pining after him was no use, you knew. but, alas, what could you do?
he was the prestigious scribe, whilst you were a nobody, too meek to speak up to others, always uttering a small, “yes” to everything asked of you.
too shy to talk to people — terrified that you would embarrass yourself or leave a bad impression, or that you would wind up being the center of attention.
but, if you were so scared, why did you crave his attention?
every time you glanced around the classroom, fleeting gaze eventually landing on his soft grey and teal tufts of hair, and his turquoise eyes, flecked with specks of orange, you couldn’t help but wish as you stared at him, a stoic and indifferent expression plastered onto his stupidly pretty face —
wish that he could love you.
wish that he could hold you.
wish that he could look at you.
wish that he could know you.
but luck was never on your side, was it? for, you wholeheartedly expected your wishes not to be heard (and they weren’t), but lady luck had decided to make your life miserable — making the decision that having an obviously unreciprocated wasn’t enough.
and so she gave you hanahaki.
every day, as your gaze landed unconsciously on him, the vines curled around your lungs, gripping them.
flowers — fuchsia azaleas — tickled the back of your throat, being lodged there, making you cough a little.
and, alhaitham’s head turned towards the noise of coughing.
you froze, quickly collecting the petals in your hand, stuffing them into your pocket. your gaze instantly shot downwards, glued onto your notebook as your hand rapidly scribbled something down, pretending to be taking notes or writing or just doing something.
and, as you wrote, you felt monarchs fluttering in your stomach, heat rising up to your neck and face.
who knew that agony could be a little fun? 
but, as the days grew, your heart made it clear that it did not desire “fun”.
oh, no.
the only thing it wanted was alhaitham.
and that was made evident by the way you were now crouched on the bathroom floor, on your hands and knees, coughing out bouts of the hot pink flowers to remove the giant lump in your throat and the tickling of petals in the back of it.
the azaleas hit the previously porcelain white and neatly polished floor with a disgustingly wet noise, and, as you opened your eyes the tiniest bit, you laid your eyes on the flower.
a seemingly freshly bloomed azalea, coated with your own blood, slick with your own mucus. it laid there, some of the burgundy blood dripping down and pooling around it, coloring the dove-white floor with a splash of red.
you sat there, blankly staring at the barbie azaleas flopped on the floor. they were still covered in blood for your throat. they’re the hundredth flowers you’d coughed up today, and you had a strange mixture of apathy and horror coursing through you.
the lump in your throat felt like a knife, and the petals tickle and tickle, causing you to cough and wheeze. it was getting harder and harder to breathe. you were exhausted — from both coughing up the flowers and also from feeling this fucking unreciprocated love. but, of course, the hanahaki wouldn’t let you stop suffering until your love is returned.
if only alhaitham would look at you, talk to you, acknowledge your existence in any way.
if only you would talk to him. 
but, god, if it wasn’t hard to build up the courage.
he wouldn’t just come up and talk with you. why would you even wish that? why were you so stupid?
you hated yourself for it, wishing he would talk to you whilst not even interacting with him.
the truth was that the scribe intimidated you quite a bit, being stoic and indifferent, curt and formal to nearly anybody.
you tried to take a deep breath, but it hurt.
it hurt so, so much. 
the fuchsia azaleas covered the piece of floor in front of you almost entirely, a horrific reminder of the disease that's destroying you from the inside.
while you had been thinking, the stupidly pleasant smell of the azaleas — a dainty and delicate blend of floral honeysuckle notes— mixed with the tinged irony odor of blood, wafted upwards toward you, giving you a whiff of a smell that made you want to wretch.
you should’ve gotten the surgery when you could — now it was far too late, you were going to die for sure.
you were beyond the point of saving.
you stared blankly at the sheet of paper which sat before you, trying to concentrate on the lecture your teacher was giving, but your mind kept drifting off.
you kept glancing upwards, and every time you did so you saw the lightest shade of grey there could be, like a thrush’s delicate feathers, mixed with sage green, perfectly complementing the scribes clothes.
yeah, maybe you should keep your eyes on the paper. looking at him made you watch to rip your throat out and cough your lungs out.
you sat in your bed, curled in a small ball, fluffy white blanket bunched up around you.
the bright screen of your computer, extremely so, illuminated your face. 
you didn’t particularly want to write this essay, and what would be the point? the stupid azaleas would choke you to death eitehr way, using you as a human flower pot.
you closed the screen with a harsh thud!, drowning yourself in complete and utter darkness as the abnormally bright light emitted from the computer was sucked away.
you hastily put the computer away, curling into a tight ball on your bed.
you awaited death, hot pink azaleas tickling your throat and dreaming about the scribe, his perfectness almost alien, like the condition deteriorating you from the inside out, like a withering flower.

I think people need to tell more kids that they're proud of them for graduating high school. I'm absolutely dead serious, especially now. I can see the graduating high schoolers surrounding me right now are burned out and traumatized and depressed, and they've undoubtedly had a much, much harder time in high school than I ever had, and I had some pretty shitty high school experiences.
I graduated high school with no more acknowledgement than the standard "congrats on surviving another year of school!" And immediately followed by "have you finished all your scholarship applications?" That was fine for me. I knew i wanted to go to college, I was set and ready for it, eager to get out of high school into more challenging courses.
But if I just finished high school after two years of fighting through online courses and no one acknowledged the battles I went through? If I was as burnt out and traumatized as these kids are right now? I'd have never have gone to college.
So for everyone graduating high school, even if you barely scraped by passing: I see you. I'm proud of you. You did such a good job. I wish you success in what you try to do, fortune enough to keep you safe and happy, and health always.
