Eve Dipalo stared up at the brick building. It looked the same but it felt so different, so... weird... "oof!" Someone pushed Eve aside and ran off into the school. Eve was about to say something, but she thought better of it. Besides, who would even listen to her of all people? She sighed and pushed open the doors to the school.
Right when she walked in she felt out of place. She pulled a piece of white paper from her backpack's side pocket and studied it. She walked over to one of the bright red 7th grade lockers and glanced back down at the paper to check her combination. she tried her locker but it wouldn't open. She tried three times then gave up and kicked the locker. If she tried one more time she'd be late for class. It then creaked open, leaving Eve annoyed. She set her books inside and was about to walk off but noticed a someone scooting towards her. "Um hi?" Eve said, confused, when the brunette came up to her. "I'm sorry if I creep you out or something, but for some reason, I felt... drawn to you." The girl said. "I---uh don't know what to say." Both girls lunged forward in pain. "OUCH!" They both almost yelled at the same time. Everybody turned to the two girls, now lying on the floor. The brunette tried getting up but collapsed back to the floor. A teacher helped them up and guided them to the nurses office.
When they were better and sitting on the sheeted cot in the nurses office, Eve and the brunette sipped water out of clear plastic cups. "You know, I never got your name. What is it? Mine's Eve." Eve said, warming up to the brunette. "My name's Mellissa. You have a nice name!" She replied smiling. "Thanks, you too! We probably missed first period, but if we hurry we can try to make second. What do you have next?" Eve said, happy she's making a possible friend. "Yeah, English." Mellissa replied, getting off the cot and grabbing her English textbook to hold it up to Eve."Hey, me too!" Eve said heading for the door. She turned the knob and motioned for Mellissa to go out the door. Once they were in the hallway, they scurried to their next class and opened the door slowly.
Everybody stopped and turned to them. One dirty blonde girl in a long skirt, very high boots, a longsleeve black shirt matching her skirt, and a red velvet scarf, fell out of her chair and curled into a ball. Everyone including Eve and Mellissa had a confused look on their faces all except the teacher, who had a mix of glee and worry contorted onto her face. "Sorry, I guess I suddenly had a bad cramp." The girl who fell out of her chair said. "You, you and Emmah come here five minutes before lunch ends." The teacher, Ms.Winters said, pointing to Eve, Mellissa, and the girl who fell out of her chair who's name appeared to be Emmah. "Okay..." they all said at the same time. Eve and Mellissa walked over to their seats.

I just released an update stating that I would not include video games in the Turtle Sandwiches... then someone suggested a video game. So I started thinking once again and I came to the conclusion that saying video games were going to be part of it and then not having them be part of it was really annoying. Sorry for changing this and then immediately unchanging part of the change, but I'm fairly confident in this even newerly new setup, and hopeful that it will work permanently. So here is the new schedule that will not change:
Unfortunately, I have been caught up in other issues for the past week and there is thus no new Turtle Sandwich this week. But I am writing this to establish many things, seeing as although I didn't have much "doing stuff" time, I had plenty of time to think.
1. Despite delays individual to this week, I will have time in the future to make this work on a weekly basis, and so it will stay that way.
2. I have thought more about how video games would work with this, and decided that they actually wouldn't.
3. Between movies and TV shows, I want there to be some schedule for the order of them. But I also realize that I watch movies far more often than entire seasons of TV shows, and that a lot of people are probably the same on that. Therefore, for every month, I will select the last Tuesday to be for TV shows, and the rest will be movies.
I am sorry for failing this city (or whatever city you might live in) this week, but I will attempt to make more time for this in the future.
