Robyn Batch 9 - Coconut Macaroon

20. Colorless:  She floated in a void, lacking sound and color and sensation and, strangely, emotion.  She was aware that there were people around her and some part of her knew that they were speaking because their lips were moving but no sound issued from their grey lips.  It was nearly two days before color seeped back in and sound rushed to assault her ears.  She barely felt Austin’s touch as he hovered near her but her heart was still numb.  She wasn’t sure if that could ever recover from the loss of her grandfather.

42. Triangle:  From the beginning it had been Austin and Robyn, Oz and Bobbie.  Wherever one was the other wasn’t far behind (and if one had caused trouble, chances were the other was simply hadn’t been caught).  Then Talulah had moved into town and into their fourth grade class.  Talulah had been painfully shy and withdrawn from living in her sister’s shadow in a high pressure family but Robyn would have none of that.  She currently had an opening for a female best friend (her previous one had committed some sort of unforgivable offense like trying to kiss or exclude Austin) and Talulah fit the bill.  Best of all, Talulah and Austin hit it off and RAT was formed.  Slowly the shy, dark haired girl blossomed with two fast friends to encourage her, defend her, and vent to.  Then, in their junior year of high school Robyn’s two best friends finally admitted their feelings for each other, even if they didn’t officially start dating until senior year.  Most of the time Robyn couldn’t have been more thrilled (she and Austin had thought about it at one point but it was like kissing a sibling), but then there were moments where she would admit she was insanely jealous.  Tal and Oz were made for each other and very happy together and Robyn wished she could have the same happiness, someone as perfect for her as those two, especially when they went on dates.  Robyn dated once or twice, boys from the productions she was in, but when the play or musical was over, so was the storm of emotions and the relationships fizzled.  She hated feeling like the third wheel but she never allowed it to affect her friendship with Oz and Tal.

115. Silence:  Robyn knew that something wasn’t right because of the silence permeating the forest.  None of the animals were making their usual noises, no birdsong rang through the trees.  She hadn’t noticed the quiet growing as she read the latest book from her favorite horse book author but when she looked up she realized what the animals had known some time ago.  Dark, angry clouds filled the sky and a gust of cold, sea scented air rattled the trees above her, a breath of the storm flicking down into her clearing and chilling her. 

170. 67 Percent:  Robyn’s heart sank as she received her latest physics paper and she couldn’t help but let out a disappointed and dejected sigh.  This did not bode well for her final grade.  If she passed the class, at this point it would be with a C at best, at worst she would have to take it again, along with another science class to hedge her bets and assure that she had enough science credits to graduate.  Physics had seemed so easy in middle school and was easy in application but combining the math to calculate when things returned just didn’t seem to sink in. 

56. Breakfast:  At one time Robyn imagined she might not have enjoyed eating breakfast in the morning but she had been in dance so long she couldn’t remember the time.  It was important to her to start off the day in the best way possible, which for her was an egg scrambled with extra whites, a smoothie with added protein and calcium, and a strip of bacon.
