Can you do a Edward Cullen x sad reader where the reader is sad about her grades and also has a crush on Edward and is very shy to ask him for help but Edward notices is it and comforts the reader

WALLOWING CLUB | E.C.

word count: 1.4k (stop I'm embarrassed)

warnings: I got carried away. I'm in love with him. I'm sorry kjnfe

The Forks High School library was a very small little room in the heart of the school, barely visited by many students if any, but it was a little solace for you- you'd spend your breaks studying and snacking between the stacks, hardly ever hearing the school bell until Laura, the lovely old librarian would call you out from your hiding place to return to the war grounds of small-town high school hallways.

You'd been studying hard this term, with senior year approaching a torturous end, you'd been trying to work yourself either to death or to college, whichever came first, which is why receiving a bad grade right before a long weekend was the last thing you needed. You didn't allow yourself many breaks, it was a given that there wasn't time for that with how much you had to do, but you'd reached a silent agreement with yourself that you'd take the weekend off if your grades came back good enough, now it looked like you'd booked yourself another date with your desk and chemistry book. Since your weekend was booked, you allowed yourself a little time to breathe, to wallow in your sadness as you took another potato crisp into your mouth, looking up at the door as you waited for the other member of the wallowing club to join you.

Edward Cullen, your library friend, or so you'd dubbed him as you never spoke outside of these four book-pasted walls- he was very fond of a regular wallowing session himself, not that you thought he had all that much to wallow about being the talk of the school, and the town for that matter, but the club wasn't one you considered exclusive. You spoke very casually, which you assumed was something he wasn't all that used to, everyone approached him like he was some sort of deity, blessing them with his presence- you hardly blamed them, to be fair, he was ethereal in all the dept of the word, far too attractive for a school so dreadfully ordinary and you knew he was intelligent, in a way that ought to make you feel inferior had he not tried so very hard to do anything but that. You had no doubt that was he to have met you anywhere else, you'd have made a right fool of yourself, but he found you with your guard down, in your safe place, and as a result, you'd managed to ease into your crush on him, far too easily letting him charm you, but who were you to fight him on making you swoon.

"That's not a real meal," the smooth, intoxicating voice declared very calmly as he walked towards you, giving you a very knowing look of disapproval as he sat down next to you, porcelain hand sliding a plastic-wrapped sandwich onto your lap.

"Don't start with me, Cullen," you pouted, already handing him your half-eaten bag, not missing the way his eyes twinkled with amusement, a familiar notion of being around you, or so you'd learned after far too many lunch breaks spent alone together. "I've already had a day, don't want to have to argue with you about the very many nutritional benefits of potatoes, " you wouldn't dare bring that up, arguments always leaned in his favor and you knew he was right, humming in soft satisfaction at the first bite of the white bread sandwich.

"A day?" a simple demand for more, the way he looked you over, showing that he was clearly trying to determine whether this was a mundane-sized problem or an end-of-the-world-sized one, though he knew it was always the first.

"I got my test back," you admitted, covering your mouth with a hand to hide your next bite, chewing quickly as you reached into your bag to pull out the culprit. "Really thought I'd do better, to be honest," you felt shy, sharing was a rather new thing for you, especially sharing with him, he appeared all but perfect after all and he seemed to be good at everything, so admitting to your faults was strange, it was less embarrassing and more revealing, baring yourself to him, it made your talks real, more.

"You did your best, no?" he knew you did, also knew how hard you studied, how he couldn't read anything but useless facts from your head for weeks, very rudely robbing him of the advantage he had over you, not that he used it often- his gift. But you were an odd soul to read, never showing him what you felt, never telling him what you thought, it was both infuriating and exciting, trying to figure you out. You nodded lightly, though he knew what it meant, knew the solemn gesture was you doubting the worth of your best, because if your best led you to have that sad, yet admittedly adorable pout on your lips then it surely wasn't what you had hoped for.

"I can't wait for this year to be over," you were tucking your lunch away, appetite lost at the side of the red letter adorning your answer sheet, haunting you, taunting you.

"I can," he retorted and scoffed lightly at the obvious disapproval of his words, shrugging as he brought a hand up to brush a crumb from your cheek, not missing the way your skin warmed under his touch, heart stammering, it made him want to do it again, made him want to do more, figure out how else your body could react to such simple, innocent gestures. "I would miss our hidden conversations," he explained and you rolled your eyes, only to hide the smile your lips begged to show him.

"You would not," you dared and turned your back away from the bookshelf behind you, looking at him with legs folded and hands fiddling with the plastic bag. "All we ever do is wallow and groan, we're like two very old people waiting for death," you were smiling, knowing he'd enjoyed your subtle references to doom and gloom, but he couldn't quite decide which he enjoyed more, the sound of the smile distorting your words of the way your eyes thinned slightly when you did, a beautiful sight.

"Exactly, who else would I do that with?" he was smiling as well and you were grateful you were sitting because it was the type of rare expression that had your knees weak.

"Oh, I'm sure you'd find many willing volunteers."

"None of them would be good enough, only you can make the darkness sound so welcoming," you had no idea what hidden symbolism the man was talking about but still you were reeling, he had to know that people don't just say things like that without absolutely ruining your resting heartbeat, in fact, it was rude, making you fall so mercilessly for him without the slightest possibility of him falling back, or so you thought. "You know," he began, "Chemistry is one of my best subjects."

"I know, Edward, you're nothing short of a genius, no need to kick a girl while she's down," he breathed a soft laugh, nudging you lightly with his leg.

"What I mean, is that I could help you study for the next test, make sure you wallow a little less next week," he knew you'd need some convincing but the bell was about to ring, he'd very pathetically been counting the minutes he had left with you and they were very few now. "Don't make me debate you into saying yes," he was picking up your things, standing with them in a sort of awkward, yet anything but, linger as he waited for you to stand as well. "You'll say yes, I'll act coy, it'll be much less of a task for the both of us if you just agree to meet me here tomorrow morning."

"You're a little arrogant, do you know that?" you mused, accepting his icy hand as it guided you from the floor, one by one stuffing your belongings into your bag, leaving his now empty hands to find rest in his pockets.

"I do," he agreed and smiled at you, looking down with eyes so golden it almost entranced you, as you lifted a brow at him. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Can we bring snacks?"

"You can, I'll bring you food."

"You're starting with me again, Cullen," and it was the laugh, the absolutely cruel laugh that he offered you as he walked you out of the library that made you think that maybe wallowing wasn't the only thing your friendship was good for.

OMG I finished this in three days!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

Mad thanks to @sharperthewriter for being my late night doodle chatter and giving me major help and push to get this done!

It's 2024 and the party got out of hand....

Lucre didn't get invited so he's attempting to hold the new years hostage... Unfortunately Kim's on call for GJ and Wade has to page her in to work... despite being less then 30 feet away. Ann's shocked by a possible global hostage, which honestly she really shouldn't be. The Stoppable's wonder if Kim ever just doesn't volunteer for things. Hana was originally excited to be considered adult enough to join the adult party with her soda... but she'd rather be hanging with the other kids.

Motor Ed was told if he was attending, he had to wear something nice... so he even bought something designer... which is still not the dress code requested. Mama Lipsky expected nothing less, but really, Edward. Nana's really wishing he'd chosen somewhere else to sit.

Jim and Tim contemplate the Wego's offer to make this issue a Team Go situation instead of a GJ... its tempting.

No one is actually sure if Mego and Monique are arguing or even what the topic is about. Zeta lost track somewhere around legal implications of fashion and medical malpractice mixed cases and honestly she's waiting that drink from Felix before she decides to rejoin the conversation.

Junior and Bonnie are pretty much there for a good time, not a long time. Though he is rather impressed that when wine got on his shirt that Shego produced such a stunning designer shirt for him and even insisted he keep it and never bring it back here again.

Meanwhile Shego is having more then a few issues this evening. From trying to pawn of Drakken's shirt, Motor Ed's existence, and her brothers actually showing up to the party. The last straw really was Hego deciding to wear a low V so casually. Hego only points out that at least his chest is mostly covered unlike some of the guests.

Drakken had already been done way before midnight what with Shego giving out his clothes, Motor Ed's choice to mock a simple request, and just how many people actually came to this party... the last thing he needs is Ron pointing out he should have invited Lucre to the party... and especially James condescending agreement of it. As if it is HIS fault Lucre's bored.

Rufus would also like someone to notice the giant drooling genetically enhanced Commodore Puddles who keeps trying to play ball with him. They are both too old for this!

NOTE: I know someone's gonna say it about Wade, Jim, and Tim... I just don't believe they would be jacked or overly muscley as we are not in Shego's future and no need to indulge in such activities and genetic enhancements.

Personality

Bethany starts off as a studious, shy and socially reserved girl due to her strict upbringing. She is well-mannered and polite being raised in an aristocratic wizarding family. Being the firstborn daughter of House Pentaghast meant that her elders had great expectations for her to become the next Matriarch of her house.

Her mother and grandmother's strictness while growing up had led her to retreat to her books to daydream about tales of heroes of old as a means of escapism from her responsibilities. To her, books are her one escape from reality.

Her deep-rooted desire to escape the clutches of her demanding family and find the courage to forge her own path in life had caused the Sorting Hat to place her in Gryffindor as it overrides her desire to fulfill her elders' expectations of having her be sorted in Ravenclaw.

As she grows older, she becomes more confident and unafraid to speak her mind, influenced by Miriam Fig who inspired courage within her. She is a very kind individual whose sense of altruism would lead her to place others above herself. Even when wronged by someone, she refuses to let go of her strong moral code and treat her opponents with respect. She still prefers to treat races deemed inferior by wizardkind (Goblins, Faeries, etc) with respect despite her noble origins.

However, she does have a judgmental streak where she would display a dismissive attitude toward subjects or topics she considers illogical or regards as pseudo-science such as Astrology and Divination. This would lead her to several disagreements with her housemate Emilia Lindley, who loves both subjects dearly.

She can be dishonest with certain people, often displaying a "tsundere-like" behavior toward them. Often toward people with whom she feels conflicting emotions. Her inability to be forthcoming with them is largely influenced by how her mother would punish her harshly for expressing negative emotions.

Purely silly question, what would everyone’s favourite roblox game be (or would they have no idea how to play roblox and get confused like a grandparent/just not enjoy anything)

Kyle plays roblox ironically, his only games are dress to impress in which he only dubiously follows the prompt, and adopt me where he scams children out of rare pets.

Bubba plays bee swarm simulator in an attempt to relate to his children.

Edward specifically frequents 17+ bar-based games when he goes cold turkey, as a method of coping, which is frighteningly often. It has not once succeeded, but he keeps "quitting."

Sixtina plays adopt and raise a cute baby-esque games, as she wishes to have a family of her own but is not biologically capable, not possessing a uterus.

Shutter plays only the most customizable roleplaying games, in which he is always an albino vampire named Giovanni who wishes to find love with a headless horseman. This has never and will never change, this is the only parameter in which he will roleplay.

Monique, Gary and Socks play horse roleplay games.

Capgras plays simulator games as the incessant grinding that it demands of you distracts him from the outside world, providing comfort.

Twyla plays free admin games.

Hans plays any game with the "spin a wheel to deliver a gorey death to a randomly chosen person" gimmick.

I can't do everyone, so here's what came to mind first.

“If I believe you” by the 1975 is an electro-gospel song with a lush collection of voices, synthesizers, and instruments contained within its six minutes and twenty seconds. The producer George Daniel is known for collecting rare and vintage synths and has talked openly about their many uses during the bands twenty-year career. The opening sounds are similar to a very resonant lofi- organ with layered voices, and some tambourine. As it moves into the verse there is a loud resonant clap sound used to add a light percussive element over the voice and synth. The guitar plays a background part to the whole song using a sound modifier to make it blend with the synth. The bass guitar is used similarly to the lead guitar, though its tonal quality shows through the synth clearer as it helps to build the chords throughout the song. As the lead vocal grows through the chorus, there are short bursts of choral background singing. The use of a choir aides in the display of the overtly religious overtones. The musical bridge features a lush Jazz inspired sound from the flugelhorn played by Roy Hargrove; this is a sound I was personally less accustomed to as it has fallen out of use in popular music. The plucky whimsical synth returns after the bridge along with the light percussive clap to support the vocalist through the end. After the bridge the synth is playing an arpeggiated melody that harkens a synthesized harp in a more playful way than it had previously sounded. The lead vocal is duplicated and stretched through the end adding a layered feeling that perfectly complements the arpeggiated synth and light percussion to create a hopeful whimsical sound.

This song was released in 2016 and has since been sampled twice. Once by the 1975 themselves for their 2020 record and Keshi on his 2016 track “if you’re not the one for me who is”.

Samstag, 26.11.1983

Albtraum: Eine nackte Frau mit verbundenen Augen steht auf einem von Pferden gezogenen Wagen, hinter ihr gehen die Henker. Schweigend. Männer mit schwarzen Kappen, Löcher für die Augen. Das Bild ist aus dem Buch ANDERSENS MÄRCHEN, das ich als Kind so geliebt habe.

Botho Strauß Stücke müsste man wie Edward Hopper Bilder aufführen. Starre Monotonie, leierndes Sprechen, weite, weiße, leere Räume. Trilogie. Er wollte unbedingt eine Kerze anzünden, ich zünde jetzt zum Gedenken an ihn eine Kerze an. Seine Wünsche wurden ihm ausgetrieben wie kalte Frösche.

Um halb zehn oder noch später aufgestanden, ich weiß nicht warum, aber heute fühle ich mich ganz irrsinnig wohl. Jetzt weiß ich, wie ich den Ofen einschalten muss. Zuerst auf Stufe 6, da wird das Feuer gut verteilt und wenn es dann stark brennt, zurückschalten auf Stufe 1. Bin einkaufen gegangen und habe mir überlegt, was das Billigste wäre: Omeletten. Zu Hause habe ich das Geschirr gewaschen und Musik gehört: Talking Heads und Monique Morelli. Werde jetzt auf der Stelle zu arbeiten beginnen, das Referat ist am Montag.

Habe nicht auf der Stelle begonnen, sondern auf dem Klo im THEATER HEUTE gelesen, dann kam Herr Vorell und hat mein Fenster repariert. Las über Majakowskis Tragödie. Da stand, dass die Aufführung, in der Majakowski spielte, nicht so leicht nachgespielt werden kann, wegen der Majakowski eigenen Sprechweise. Mir fiel die eigene Sprechweise von Edek Bartz ein und dass er sich in der Buchhandlung Herrmann ein Buch von Majakowski ausgeliehen hat. Er wäre der einzig Richtige, um Majakowski zu spielen!

Ich gehe jetzt Omeletten braten, höre Radio und dann werde ich wirklich mit dem Referat beginnen. Mir fällt auch ein, wie fein es wäre, mit Claudius zusammen zu arbeiten, deshalb mag ich Gruppenarbeiten nicht, weil sich die Menschen so fremd sind. Die Liebe sollte aus der Arbeit kommen und aus dem Tag und nicht aus der Nacht. Jean-Luc Godard. Überhaupt haben mich immer diese Künstlerinnen am meisten berührt, die zusammengearbeitet haben wie Marina Abramović und Ulay. Brigitte Kowanz und Franz Graf. Beate Nitsch und Hermann Nitsch. Es gibt Lyrik von ihr. Valie Export und Peter Weibel. Yoko Ono und John Lennon. Andrea Dee und Gottfried Distl. Deshalb habe ich Tristan gebraucht, um so etwas entstehen zu lassen, aber er hat es natürlich nicht verstanden. Dafür war er zu egozentrisch. Er war halt doch nur ein Mann. Überhaupt fällt auf, dass zum Schluß nur noch die Männer übrig bleiben.

Noch lange herumgetrödelt, die Omelettes schmeckten so gut. Nach dem Essen fing ich mit der Arbeit an, habe weiter Zitate gesucht, dann legte ich mich auf den Diwan und habe an Claudius gedacht. Mir fiel plötzlich ein Brief an Marguerite ein, ich schrieb sofort alles auf. Es ist ein sehr schöner Brief geworden, danach habe ich weiter geschlafen und mich im Geist mit Claudius unterhalten. Aber so finde ich ihn nicht, es ist so monoton. Ich kann nicht immer nur von der Erinnerung zehren und weiß nicht, was ich jetzt machen soll. Ich muss ihn entweder sofort treffen, wenn meine Berechnung stimmt, muss das Ende November sein, oder vergessen. Jetzt ist Ende November.
