Re: Sage Baker // Privileged // 4/4
What the hell is this? Why are there ducks everywhere? I thought we grew out of those when we were four.
[She can be heard tapping at the keyboard and clicking the mouse button a few times before letting out an annoyed puff of breath]
…And now they’re not going away. Fantastic. This is really going to help me find us work, staring at a screen full of ducks. Ducks are not going to make us famous! Although it does seem like the sort of lame thing Duke might do to try and seem “interesting”, and I know Rose was on here earlier.
[More forceful typing this time, ending with a very forceful “press” of the enter key that signifies just how annoyed she’s getting]
Ugh, this is ridiculous. Fine, you stupid piece of crap. You win. But only until I find someone who can fix this and send you back to whichever juvenile corner of the internet you came from.
Third Person: “We have been over this, Sage. If you and Rose want to get into Duke, you will need a tutor.”
Sage simply rolled her eyes as her grandmother, Laurel, launched into the same speech she’d been hearing all week. She knew damn well that neither she nor Rose was what one might call a model student, and she also knew damn well that she didn’t care. As far as she was concerned, college wasn’t necessary for the future she’d envisioned for herself and Rose - all it needed was for them to get their break and the twins would have the world at their feet. They would be adored by the world, envied by their school friends and no longer dependent on Laurel’s money - and if there was anything at all wrong with any of that then Sage couldn’t see it.
“We don’t need a tutor. We’re fine as we are.”
Normally, Sage didn’t manage to get this far. On her previous attempts at talking to Laurel, she had brought Rose with her - but all that tended to achieve was that as soon as Laurel mentioned Duke, Rose was all but lost to the argument. This time, Sage had sought out Laurel alone in the hope that she could talk her grandmother around.
Apparently, Laurel was not to be talked around so easily.
“Your grades speak differently. I’m sorry, Sage, but my mind has been made up. You and Rose will have a tutor as soon as I can find someone suitably qualified.”
Sage stood, glowering at her grandmother but leaving the room without another word as she turned her mind to scheming mode. If Laurel would not be persuaded that they didn’t need a tutor then Sage would simply have to ensure that any tutor they did get wouldn’t last. And they wouldn’t last, because one way or another Sage Baker always got what she wanted.

Re: APPROVED
Just to double-check: this still counts as a February application for limit purposes? Not that I forsee having time to app two this month but just in case.
