AN / Transcript under the cut

AN: Nancy's story will consist of 3 parts: Part One- Youth | Part Two - Uni | Part Three - Wife Three pivotal moments in Nancy’s life that shaped the Nancy we know today.

As mentioned in the prologue, this story may contain mature and possibly even uncomfy themes and all posts will have their corresponding trigger warners in the post as well as the tags. Trigger Warnings are: Homophobia / Religious Trauma / Death via Car Accident/ Drugs / Alcohol / Infidelity / Sex & Nudity

Also, I have experienced CAS burnout lately, so I aged down most of the townies to teens lol. I figured this version of Cassandra Goth can be the AU version since I’ve already wrote Bella and Morti Goth into my Briar legacy, which this story is apart of that universe.

Transcript:

Cassie: This is Blair Hall, the senior girls’ dorm, and if you ask me, it’s the best one. We have our own private library. Down there is the rec room; we’re not allowed to have the boys over unless it’s with a chaperone.

Cassie: We’re also the closest to the church, which is great for when we have group sessions before service. You won’t have to rush and scarf down breakfast, plus you can sleep in a little!

Nancy: [sarcastically] Gee, how’d I get so lucky?

Cassie: Sister Agnes always says, It’s not luck—it’s a blessing! Vacancies are hard to come by. My old roomie withdrew; she had a really hard time fitting in with the other girls. They can be... kind of intense.

Dina: Oh, look. Another pretty blonde rich girl. Like those aren’t a dime a dozen here.

Nina: [scoffs] Here we go...

Dina: I am not joking. I better not catch her ass around Don. The last hoochie he was tonguing down was also a skinny, flat-chested, blonde bimbo.

Vanessa: You need to put his weenie in a cage instead of fighting every girl that breathes the same air as him.

Dina: Well, he wouldn’t be tempted if these floozies would stay away from my man!

Vanessa: I guess dyeing your hair blonde isn’t working for you, huh?

Dina: Oh, shut it, VV. You’re just jealous he isn’t into redheads.

Nina: Hmm, I thought he was into redheads though.

Dina: Ugh, as if!

Cassie: You can pretty much decorate your space however you want. Just nothing that’s on the prohibited list. There’s a room check every night before curfew, and-

Nancy: What do you know about that redhead on the balcony?

Cassie: Dina?

Nancy: No, she said her name was Vanessa. I ran into her this morning but she didn’t mention her last name.

Cassie: Oh, yeah! VV. Vanessa Villareal. She’s- eh, one of the mean girls. I try to stay out their way. Probably best you do the same.

Nancy: [softly to herself] Villareal. So, she’s old money, too.

Cassie: Her family built the school. Guess that’s why she feels like she can do whatever she wants- eh, don’t tell anyone I said that!

Cassie: But, erm, you’re welcome to hang out with me and my friends during rec and lunch and stuff. I know how tough it can, being the new girl and all.

Nancy: Yeah? ...thanks- Cassie, was it?

Cassie: You’ll totally like my friends. They’re the coolest people on Earth.

Cassie: Definitely better than some people. You can tell who goes here because of their faith and who was forced here because of their lack of it.

Cassie: Hey guys! This is Nancy, she’s my new roomie.

Bob: No way, they filled Angela’s spot already? Money talks. I’m Bob, or Bobby, and this cool, tall drink of water is Geoffrey. Welcome to Paradise.

Bob: [whispers] Geoffrey! Say something to the pretty girl!

Geoffrey: [voice cracks] W-we’ve um, met already.

Geoffrey: Our dad’s are friends. I just haven’t seen her since we were 10 years old. She looks so... different.

Bob: Oh, I seeee. First love? Your ears are beet red, my man.

Bob: Take a seat, newbie! Are you into D&D, perchance?

Nancy: I have no idea what that is.

Bob: Oh, ho ho! You’re in for a treat, m’lady. I’ll catch you up from the beginning of our campaign.

Vanessa: You look so bored. Want to get out of here, new girl?

Vanessa: Don’t worry, I’ll return you back to your nerds in one piece.

Cassie: [grumbles] Um, hello, we’re sitting right here?

Nancy: Go where, exactly? This place is in the middle of nowhere.

Vanessa: Guess you’ll have to come and find out.

Nancy VO: [I learned then, that I would follow her anywhere]

Dina: There she goes, taking in another stray.

Nancy VO: [All she had to do was take my hand]

Maybe, deep down, the only reason why I think Severus Snape is the best is that I was educated in a Catholic school from the age of 6 to 18. And no matter how much I’ve always resisted religious beliefs, in the end, it’s inevitable that some ideas stick with you, like the notion that the ones Jesus valued the most weren’t those who had always stayed within the flock, but those who had strayed and chosen to return on their own. It’s not that I inherently value those who make mistakes and repent more; it’s just how I was taught to see things.

The narrative of repentance, redemption, and sacrifice is deeply ingrained in Catholic education, even if you never fully embrace the faith itself. And in a way, Snape fits that archetype perfectly: someone who strays from the “right path,” makes terrible choices, but ultimately dedicates his entire life to atoning for his mistakes, even if it means suffering in silence and without recognition. It’s the story of a sinner redeemed by his own actions, with no need for rewards or public absolution.

So, in the end, I guess it’s true what they say: you can take the girl out of Catholic school, but you can’t take Catholic school out of the girl.

A trustee barred from meetings for six months after comments about the Pride flag is once again trying to have it banned from schools with the Niagara Catholic District School Board in Ontario.ontario Natalia Benoit was censured in January after an independent investigator found she had breached the board's code of conduct by comparing the Pride and Nazi flags, saying neither should be welcome at the schools. She was relieved of her duties and barred from attending board meetings until June 30. On July 18, she submitted a notice of motion that was shared with the board Sept. 24, alerting her colleagues that her motion to ban the flag board-wide would be presented at the following meeting, set for Oct. 22. Benoit's "proposal to amend the flag-flying protocol to exclude the Pride flag" would bar board schools or offices from displaying the flag, which signals acceptance of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Why did my parents think I was Bad at catholic school, I used to make little handwritten notes that said "I ___ sign my soul over to ___" and would have friends and Teachers sign their souls over to me for 20 cents (and they signed it?? The teachers humoured me and did it and took 20 cents from a child) and then I just had a collection of souls that I kept in a box, traded away for petty coin, I got catholic school better than any person there, I was operating on levels only me and the pope could understand
